Indigenous Peoples
This is a necklace made by Faye Thayer of Ft. Washakee, Wyoming. Faye is Eastern Shoshone. Beads were in prized in Native North America and were in use long before white contact. Archaeological information tells us that beads were in use as far back as history can be extrapolated. Native Beads were generally made of natural materials like wood, bone, shell, and metal. Europeans introduced colorful glass beads. In the Beads were used as currency for global trade rather than paper money. KwaZulu-Natal Programme for Survivors of Violence These are Friends in South Africa. Their work is primarily with Zulu and Xhosa communities that are victims of the Apartheid. The bead was made in Venice, probably in the mid 1700s. This type of bead was widely traded in Africa, hence the common name "African Trade Bead." The Waseskun Network These are First Nations Friends in Canada. Their work is primarily with men who have been in corrections. This is a French Ambassador Bead, given by visiting French traders as a gift of respect to tribal headmen. The most interesting aspect of this bead is that it is made of clear glass. This was a difficult affect to achieve prior to the time of thermostat controlled heat to melt the glass.

Native Peoples of Siberia
This page presents links for information on the many native peoples of Siberia. The colors of this page are the same as the Siberian Flag and the flags of several Siberian nations. The green represents the Siberian taiga, the largest forest in the world, the white represents the snow of winter. The Siberian winter is from November to March, and is culturally as well as materially important for all Siberians, native or Russian. However, Siberia is not the frozen wasteland as some believe, but a very rich and diverse environment sheltering vast amounts of wildlife and plants, some of which are quite rare and valuable. The peoples of Siberia fall into three major ethno-linguistic groups:
Uralic
Altaic
Paleo-Siberian
The Buryat, the main group discussed at this website, are an Altaic nationality. Below you will find links grouped according to these three groups. In addition to this, please check out the Shamanism from Other Siberian Traditions page in order to view materials about the shamanism of these other native groups. This page also includes a section on native rights and environmental issues. Additional information will be found in the Relationship between Siberian and other native peoples page.

Prehistoric Human Occupation
Capule rock

O n Station lands, as in most of the desert west, environmental factors have had great influence on the level of prehistoric human activity. Thousands of years ago, the climate and biotic environment were radically different: Pleistocene lakes dotted the landscape, lush vegetation grew, and game was plentiful. Several thousand years later, the environment became extremely arid, the climate hot and dry. Native populations were forced to either adapt their cultural practices in order to sustain themselves or abandon the territory. A s the climate changed through warm and arid cycles to moist and temperate conditions, the culture of prehistoric peoples in the region was developed and refined. Archaeologists analyzing early remains have delineated a broad cultural sequence from early prehistoric through recent times. Continuing analysis of this archaeological record is sure to result in significant discoveries and better interpretations of the desert west's prehistory. E vidence of Early Man was discovered on the shorelines and the bed of Pleistocene Lake China. Dr. Emma Lou Davis from the

Canku Ota - A Newsletter Celebrating Native America
August 26, 2000 - Issue 17 Teaching Racial Tolerance, Understanding, and Appreciation
adapted by Vicki Lockard from many sources Editor's Note: When we began publishing our newsletters, we did a lot of research and web surfing to come up with ideas and sites to share with you. One site, in particular, disturbed us so much, that trying to combat its message became the basis for Canku Ota. This site, an educational page done by a middle school teacher, in West Virginia, was talking about the Hopi People. The information was about Kachinas and all of the verbage was past tense. For example..."the Hopi USED to"...this teacher went on to have her class make Kachinas as a project. It became painfully clear to us that even in the year 2000, people still believe, and teach, that our cultures and traditions are no longer living or deserving of respect.
With the new school year about to begin, we would like to share with you some ways that you can help to "Celebrate Native America...it's Traditions and Cultures." Teaching tolerance and appreciation can enrich and expand all of our lives. A few simple do's and don'ts can help.
In this article, I use the term Native to refer to Native peoples of the U.S, Canada and Mexico. Not all Native North Americans are American Indians. The Inuit peoples of the far north have cultures very different from those North American Indians who live on this continent. In the U.S., Native American and American Indian are often used. In Canada, First Nations, Native Indian, Metis, and Aboriginal are often used. Regardless, whenever possible, it's best to refer to the person with regard to their individual nation, for example, "Choctaw," "Dakota, " "Cree," etc...

November 8, 2002
Dialogues between Chicano/a Studies and Native American Studies Notes/Essay prepared by Macarena Gomez-Barris for Hemispheric Dialogues 2 An important goal of "Hemispheric Dialogues 2" is to promote the exchange of ideas across disciplinary interests, specifically in the context of Latino/a and Latin American Studies, and also to bridge conversation between programs of similar academic content. By the end of the recent presentation from Chicano/a Studies scholars and Native American scholars, and post-presentation discussion with an enthusiastic audience it seemed this goal had been far surpassed, even in the timeframe of a two-hour dialogue. Two dominant themes helped move the conversation in productive ways throughout the encounter: 1) A genealogy of the epistemological grounding of Chicano/a Studies and Native American Studies; and 2) A clear and thoughtful accounting of the similarities and differences between contemporary Chicano/a and Native American Studies programs. One of the main points of Delgado's talk had to do with the epistemological turn and challenge posed by Native American Studies to conventional Western-based social science. Although Delgado admitted that there was an on-going need for methodological transformation, he praised current post-colonial efforts at breaking down modern discourses of objectivity, stagnant notions of national homogeneity, and Euro centric theories and research practices.1 As Delgado said, part of the success of post-colonial thinking has been to integrate "ideas of memory, space, and language vis-a-vis colonialisms and neocolonialisms".

The Native American Legacy
Follow the yearly cycle of 12 full moons to learn about the lives of the early Algonquian people. Have your class perform a play based on a Native American folktale. Help students create Native American jewelry, clothing, and other crafts. Learn about the dwellings and the lives of the earliest inhabitants of the eastern woodlands of North America. Education World recommends four new books that help youngsters develop their knowledge of and appreciation for the legacy of Native Americans. The earliest inhabitants of North America enjoyed a strong relationship with the natural world, close-knit social structures, and a vibrant mythology that has largely been forgotten or relegated to occasional mention in history texts. To help you enliven lessons celebrating Native American history, heritage, and culture, Education World recommends four new books geared toward children ages nine through 12 that take a variety of approaches. Engage your students in Native American life through crafts or plays or a study of a pattern of life based on each month's full moon or how people built their houses.

Type it and go! The following is a news item, not a peer-reviewed article, that has circulated on the internet for the past couple of years in Mormon circles. Some apologists for the Book of Mormon have used it as evidence that the Book of Mormon is what it claims to be. For instance, Jeff Lindsay has referenced it on numerous pages of his Jeff concludes that [Skeptics of the Book of Mormon's claim to historicity] "claim that there are no scientific reasons and particularly no genetic evidence to accept the possibility of ancient migrations from the Middle East to the Americas. Based on the latest findings in science, they are wrong." [Note that since this page went on the internet Jeff has changed the above quote. It was once on his page.] He also emphatically states that, "More work is needed!", as a suggestion that if more genetic research were to be done Joseph Smith would be vindicated. However, he doesn't quote from subsequent work that has been done and has been published in peer-reviewed journals, rather than the news item he relies on, which challenge the article's findings he claims proves skeptics wrong See also Thomas W.

The previous compilation of videos relating to health of Native people of North America that was published in this journal in 1993 (http://wings.buffalo.edu/publications/mcjrnl/v1n2/gray.html) has generated a great deal of interest. The site was accessed an average of 550 times per month during 1997. This update primarily covers the period from 1993 to 1997, but older sources that were not included in the previously published mediagraphy are included. Resources were identified by searching bibliographic databases, web-sites, online catalogs, and by contacting organizations. Annotations are provided for those videos for which information was available from producers or bibliographic utilities. Series numbers are provided when available.

N.A.I.I.C. North American Independent Indigenous Community WHO WE ARE native,american,community,indigenous,peoples,education,good,red,road We are a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(C)3 organization consisting of Native American, N.A.-mixed blood peoples, and others who simply wish to follow our traditions and live with us. We honor the traditions of all people, as we are an intertribal community. We are open to Native Americans, to mixed bloods, and to non-Indians who wish to associate with us. THE DREAM What we are truly trying to create is a space where many of us can be ourselves, be Native Americans, be of our own tribes while away from them, and try to help each other. There are as many traditions as there are People, and we will always face the problems of our different customs. This is not, however, a "come one-come all" community; it is a community which allows N.A. Peoples, as well as those who wish to associate with us, to be together in mutual support. There are no restrictions as to who is or is not allowed. Just that the N.A. Peoples have a place to live together if they wish, away from the restrictions of mainstream society. There is no rent; no fees to join or to belong. You provide your own housing and pay your own utilities. Other than that, the only requirement is that residents work together for the benefit of the community. Since there are many facets to Native Americans, then there must be many facets to N.A. culture. But overall, there is a certain specific commonality with us that is a desire to follow a spiritual path that honors Mother Earth and respects the traditions of all people. Traditions of course vary between families, clans, and tribes/nations. Our hope is to allow each person's tradition to be honored. Those of us who are Dineh will follow those ways; the Hopi and the Zuni will follow their own ways. The ways of each individual are to be learned by that individual through the teachings of his/her own Elders. We hope to have various Elders come live with and teach those in the communities who wish to learn.

They had been living there for thousands of years before any Europeans arrived. Harder - When Columbus landed in what is now known as the West Indies, he incorrectly thought he had reached the Indies. He called the native people he met Indians. The Indians of the Americas spoke hundreds of different languages, had many varied ways of life, and each group had its own name. Some lived in large cities and others in small villages. Still others kept moving throughout the year, hunting animals and gathering wild plants.

Native Peoples of the Great Lakes Region
Origins
Indians, or Native Peoples, were the original inhabitants of North America and the Great Lakes region. In fact, Native Peoples inhabited the continent tens of thousands of years before the arrival of settlers from Europe and the Far East. By the 16th century, the Native Peoples of North America had evolved into widely different cultures. Notable tribes around the Great Lakes included people we now call the Chippewa, Fox, Huron, Iroquois, Ottawa, Potawatomi and Sioux. Click for larger map! Approximately 120 bands of Native Peoples have occupied the Great Lakes basin over the course of history. In the United States, Native Peoples are also referred to as American Indians or Native Americans. In Canada, tribes are called First Nations. In the Ontario region alone, more than 75 bands of First Nations are reported. A band is based on kinship and family affiliation. A nuclear family is part of a clan (cousins), a clan is part of a band (aunts, uncles, extended cousins), and a collection of bands make up a tribe. Tribes are traditionally highly organized, politically autonomous groups.
