Amtrak carried me cross-country from Grand Forks to Washington. My assignment was to cover the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian on Sept. 21. The train ride itself took about six days of night and day travel. I wanted to see open country, I said see this land close up, not from thousands of feet in the sky. So, when I arrived home after 10 days on the road, tired and with bloodshot eyes, I couldn't complain. I had, indeed, seen the Eastern countryside. My adventure began at 2 a.m. The Empire Builder arrived one hour late, and that would to be the theme of my trip although I must add that none of the late arrivals or departures were the fault of Amtrak. After I settled into my seat on the train, I fell asleep almost immediately. I had a big seat with leg and foot rests to myself. I woke when the early morning light touched my eyes. The first thing I saw was what I thought was a large lake. It was too early to ask anyone its name. After watching boaters, eagles and landings race by, I learned it was the Mississippi River. The train has a habit of following rivers the Mississippi, Ohio and so many others that I can't remember their names. It was light now, and I followed the landscape. State borders melted into one another, and the landscape sprouted more people and buildings. The train arrived late in Chicago. That is not a good depot. It's old and certainly not like an airport. Just as I settled down to wait for the Capitol Limited, the intercom said my train had been canceled because of Hurricane Ivan's flooding. They said they would reschedule us. I waited. Finally, I went to see what was happening, only to find out that I was supposed to have gotten reticketed on another train, and it now was full. Fortunately, they put another car on the train. I climbed aboard the Limited that would follow the Ohio River and drop down into the Allegheny Mountains. It was an uncomfortable ride. The seats were smaller, and the train was full. I sat beside a Hispanic woman from California; she was going to Alabama with her two teens to visit a sister who was ill with cancer. They had traveled up the California coast, then across Washington state to Chicago and still had 2 days to go. By the time we parted in Charlottesville, Va., I knew her and her family pretty well. There are nice things about trains. Although the cars sometimes wobble and rock, you can move about freely. The train has big, comfortable swivel seats with large windows and skylights in the lounge car. It especially was nice in the Allegheny Mountains. The dining car has white tablecloths and serves pretty good food. Most important, they have sleeping cars where the movement of the train lulls you to sleep. On my return trip, I met two families who had family sleepers. They were traveling to Rochester, Minn., where the father was going for special testing. I woke one morning to see the Ohio River running full alongside the train. There were about 26 times when the train would head right into the sheer rock through a tunnel. Tall towers of nuclear plants, with steam shooting out of their heads and their feet in the river, dotted the shore. I lost sight of the tracks now and then and saw only a dropoff into the river. I kept thinking about washed-out tracks. I saw a big, algae-green lake full of large white egrets. There must have been a hundred. I saw a lot of cranes and herons. too. On my return trip, things went well until we reached Toledo, Ohio. We stopped for a "smoke break," when an emergency call came for the conductor. We were told a passenger had passed away, and we would have to wait for the police and coroner. Four and half hours later, we started for Chicago again. The Empire Builder didn't wait for us, so we were stuck in Chicago at Amtrak's expense for the night. I couldn't sleep on that last leg of my journey, I was so eager to get home. I could see the treed landscape turn into flat plains. It was dark when we reached Fargo, but I knew the way home from there. At about 5 a.m., I saw a string of golden lights that seemed to be dancing on the horizon. It was Grand Forks, and I was home. Would I travel by train again? Yes ... perhaps.

The first National Day of Mourning was held in 1970. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts invited Wampanoag leader Frank James to deliver a speech. When the text of Mr. James, speech, a powerful statement of anger at the history of oppression of the Native people of America, became known before the event, the Commonwealth "disinvited" him. That silencing of a strong and honest Native voice led to the convening of the National Day of Mourning. The historical event we know today as the "First Thanksgiving" was a harvest festival held in 1621 by the Pilgrims and their Native American neighbors and allies. It has acquired significance beyond the bare historical facts. Thanksgiving has become a much broader symbol of the entirety of the American experience. Many find this a cause for rejoicing. The dissenting view of Native Americans, who have suffered the theft of their lands and the destruction of their traditional way of life at the hands of the American nation, is equally valid. To some, the "First Thanksgiving" presents a distorted picture of the history of relations between the European colonists and their descendants and the Native People. The total emphasis is placed on the respect that existed between the Wampanoags led by the sachem Massasoit and the first generation of Pilgrims in Plymouth, while the long history of subsequent violence and discrimination suffered by Native People across America is nowhere represented. To others, the event shines forth as an example of the respect that was possible once, if only for the brief span of a single generation in a single place, between two different cultures and as a vision of what may again be possible someday among people of goodwill. History is not a set of "truths" to be memorized, history is an ongoing process of interpretation and learning. The true richness and depth of history come from multiplicity and complexity, from debate and disagreement and dialogue. There is room for more than one history; there is room for many voices. COMMENTS ON THE DAY OF MOURNING BY RUSSELL M. PETERS Russell Peters is Wampanoag, born and raised in Mashpee, less than twenty miles from Plymouth Rock. Mashpee was considered an Indian community and was, in fact, an Indian District within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, until it was illegally dissolved in 1870. Mr. Peters has been involved in Native American issues at a state, local and national level. He is the President of the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council, a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights from 1976 to 1984, a member of the Harvard Peabody Museum Native American Repatriation Committee, a member of the White House Conference on Federal Recognition in 1995 and 1996, a board member of the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities, a board member of the Pilgrim Society, and the author of Wampanoags of Mashpee (Nimrod Press), Clambake (Lerner Publications), and Regalia (Sundance Press). Mr. Peters, notes that the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council is constantly working to improve the spiritual and material lives of their people. They are not opposed to demonstrations but are opposed to needless confrontations that serve no purpose for the Native American people they purport to serve. "When Frank James, known to the Wampanoag people as Wampsutta, was invited to speak at the 1970 annual Thanksgiving feast at Plymouth, he was not prepared to have his speech revised by the Pilgrims. He left the dinner and the ceremonies and went to the hill near the statue of the Massasoit, who as the leader of the Wampanoags when the Pilgrims landed in their territory. There overlooking Plymouth Harbor, he looked at the replica of the Mayflower. It was there that he gave his speech that was to be given to the Pilgrims and their guests. There eight or ten Indians and their supporters listened in indignation as Frank talked of the takeover of the Wampanoag tradition, culture, religion, and land. "This was a missed opportunity to begin a dialogue between the Wampanoags and the Pilgrims. Instead the `Day of Mourning, began, and continues to this day. I commend Frank for taking the stand that he took, and we and our supporters recognize the token role the Wampanoags had played in this pageantry. It was not appropriate for the native people to feast in thanksgiving; instead we decided to fast and show by contrast our way of remembering our history. "As the years went by, the numbers at the Massasoit statue increased and the presentations, skits and demonstrations did indeed show a contrast between feasting and fasting. Reporters arrived from local news media as well as the New York papers, the Atlanta Constitution, the Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times, and told the stories of the Wampanoag to the American people. "Some of the Wampanoag people who live in the vicinity of Plymouth began to look at positive ways in which we could impact our lives, both past and present. It occurred to us that the Europeans had a history of the colonists, well documented, albeit quite Eurocentric. The history of the Wampanoag people in southeastern Massachusetts and Martha,s Vineyard was barely mentioned. Ironically, the Indian communities of Mashpee, Aquinnah (Gay Head) and Herring Pond still exist just a short distance away from the Plymouth Rock. "The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head is a Federally Recognized Indian Tribe. Their Tribal roll lists 1000 Wampanoags. Under the leadership of their chief, the tribe conducts daily business, economic development, as well as community and social activities for its tribal members. The Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Tribal Council, of which I am President, has a tribal roll of 1200 Wampanoags. It conducts business and other related activities on a daily basis. Our annual Pow Wow took place in Mashpee on July 3, 4 and 5, 1998. We own and maintain the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Museum with plans to expand the facilities. We are very active in revitalization of our language which was taken from us by the colonists. And we are doing research and writing of the Wampanoag history, particularly concerning the relationship with the English and other European colonists during the early seventeenth century up to the present. "These are some of the positive ways in which we can balance the scale of history and establish pride in the Wampanoag identity and heritage. Ours is as much a part of the American story as that of the Pilgrim, in fact more so since it was our land. "While the `Day of Mourning, has served to focus attention on past injustice to the Native American cause, it has, in recent years, been orchestrated by a group calling themselves the United American Indians of New England. This group has tenuous ties to any of the local tribes, and is composed primarily of non-Indians. To date, they have refused several invitations to meet with the Wampanoag Indian tribal councils in Mashpee or in Gay Head. Once again, we, as Wampanoags, find our voices and concerns cast aside in the activities surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday in Plymouth, this time, ironically, by a group purporting to represent our interests. "The time is long overdue for the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags to renew a meaningful dialogue about our past and look towards a more honest future. Our history is a vital and dynamic part of pre-American and American history. We must be the ones who research, write, and interpret that history." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 21:18:58 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Native Force ( humor ) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2004 21:19:26 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: force 2 You might be an Indi'n Jedi if... - You ever heard the phrase, "May the Force be with you...aayyy!" - - Your Jedi robe is beaded. - - You have ever used your light-saber to butcher a buffalo or sheep. - - At least one wing of your rezzed-out X-Wing fighter is primer-colored. - You discover that Ewoks taste like dogs. - You have ever had a land-speeder up on blocks in your yard. - - The worst part of spending time with Yoda is eating his commodity food. - - Wookies are offended by your use of buffalo robes. - - You have ever used the Force to get your tape recorder working so you could record that new 49er. - You have ever used the Force in negotiations with the feds. - - Your councilman has ever said to you, "Come over to the dark side...selling out ain't so bad, enit!" - You have ever had your R2D2 unit use its self-defense electro-shock thingy to give yourself a perm. - You have a dreamcatcher in the window of your land-speeder. - - You have ever fantasized about Princess Leah's frybread. - - You have to use pliers to work the doors of your X-Wing and a screwdriver to start it up. - - Your light-saber has duct tape on the handle. - - You think "Obi Wan Kenobi" sounds like Ojibwe. - - Although you had to kill him, you kinda thought that Jabba the Hutt had a pretty good handle on how to deal with people who stole from him.

The 1997 data show overweight prevalence of American Indian/Alaska Natives to be 30.1 percent. For Asian/Pacific Islanders the figure is 4.8. Physical inactivity is more prevalent among: women, American Indians, African-Americans and Hispanics (compared with whites), older adults and the less affluent. The relative risk of coronary heart disease associated with physical inactivity ranges from 1.5 to 2.4, an increase in risk comparable to that observed for high cholesterol, high blood pressure or cigarette smoking. Less active, less fit persons have a 30 - 50 percent greater risk of developing high blood pressure. ------------------------------ End of IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com digest, issue 389	IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com	10/28/2004

Desde que aterrizo en Paris, el viernes pasado, Alfred Red Cloud (Nube Roja) no se cansaba de repetir esta pregunta. Su interes por el cabaret parisino nada tenia que ver con una obsesion por las chicas de piernas interminables y cuerpos esculturales, ligeritas de ropa. Lo que pretendia el jefe indio de los sioux oglala era cumplir la mision que le habia encomendado su pueblo y entregar una carta a los propietarios de la celebre sala de la avenida Georges V. Por fin, lo consiguio. Vestido con la tradicional chaqueta de flecos y tocado con sus plumas, fue recibido el sabado por el gerente del cabaret, Jacques Asplasanto. La misiva que le dio estaba firmada por Harvey White Woman (Mujer Blanca), descendiente del legendario jefe Crazy Horse (Caballo Loco), y decia asi: 'He visto en la cadena de television HBO un programa que mostraba su sala de fiestas y se veia bailar a mujeres desnudas con un tocado de plumas. Mi familia se siente ofendida cada vez que se falta al respeto a nuestra cultura y a nuestros venerables dirigentes'. Crazy Horse, o Caballo Loco, participo en 1876 en la famosa batalla de Little Big Horn en la que los indios vencieron al general Custer y fue uno de los ultimos jefes indios que se rindio al enemigo. Murio en 1877, siendo aun joven, asesinado en una reserva.'Cuando se menciona su nombre", continuaba la carta, de dos paginas y escrita en ingles, "se evoca al hombre que ha conducido a nuestro pueblo durante los anos 1800 y que combatio valientemente contra los ejercitos americanos para que su pueblo pudiera vivir con las tradiciones y la cultura que seguimos honrando hoy'."] [5] "Fuertes Lluvias Derrumban Piramide Maya," Agence France Presse, 19 Octubre 2004.

The Western History Association and its annual meeting are significant= because of the Association's large membership base and its ability to shape= the field of western history. We welcome discussion on all aspects of the= organization. Topics can include, but are not limited to critical analyses= of the following: - The participation of local tribal intellectuals in the annual conference's= =20 program.=20 -Intellectual, methodological, and pedagogical responses to various panels= and the banquet speaker Bill Kurtis. -Relations among senior faculty, junior faculty, and graduate=20 students.=20 -The planning of the Indian Historians' Luncheon and the selection of the=20 recipient of the Indian historians' Career Achievement Award.=20 - The =93mountain man toast=94 and the =93passing of the Green River knife.= =94=20 Dr. Myla Vicenti-Carpio, Jicarilla Apache, Laguna Pueblo / Isleta Pueblo, is= currently an Assistant Professor of American Indian History at Arizona= State University. Her dissertation entitled,=81hLet Them Know We Still= Exist=81h: Indians in Albuquerque, details the maintenance of Indigenous= culture in urban settings. She also helped found the Native American= Community Organizing Project (NACOP) which assisted in community organizing= of Phoenix urban Indian community. Last year at this same time, H-West was filled with discussions whether the= WHA was in trouble, about the disrespect received at the =93Teaching the= West=94 session, and the dismay that the conference is held in a hotel that= also had a topless venue. Another WHA has passed and all these issues= surfaced again, this time culminating at this year=92s WHA annual banquet.= The banquet speaker, Bill Kurtis, was outright offensive to women and= Indigenous peoples. His comments making light of the sexual harassment case= against Bill O=92Reily=92s and his own apparent harassment of women= colleagues pale in comparison to his remarked desire to confer his degree= upon a female stripper. These comments in addition to touting the glory of= Manifest Destiny created a hostile and oppressive environment. A number of= men and women walked out and later returned to protest his speech, however,= more frightening was the lack of response by the audience or the outright= denial that there was even a problem. Unfortunately, what is becoming more evident is that the problem concerning= the banquet speaker is taking precedence and deflecting away from the major= problems about the WHA. The obscenity of the speaker should not be ignored,= but getting rid of the banquet and banquet speaker does not address= on-going issues. The banquet speaker debacle was only the tip of the= iceberg. Below the surface lie the larger issues that continue to silence= and marginalize critiques of colonization, Euro-American structures of= privilege and power and posit race, class, gender, and sexuality as =91othe= r=92 histories of the West. At the banquet, a number of people gathered to support Peter Iverson=92s= decision, as incoming President, to end the antiquated mountain man toast= and the passing of the Green River knife. Instead, Peter Iverson was barely= recognized as incoming president and silenced. I see the silencing of Peter= Iverson indicative of the treatment and marginalization of many peoples in= the WHA. Attempts to create change by challenging structures of power= through critiques of colonized methodologies, race, class, gender,= sexuality dynamics sets forth mechanisms which blames and silences the= =93discontented.=94 I have limited my involvement with the WHA. Instead, I have chosen to attend= and participate in conferences that are willing to challenge colonial power= structures and apply critical analyses dealing with race, gender, class,= and sexuality, or at least attempt to, in more than just a superficial= manner. I left a panel early and found out later that the panelist and the= audience laughed about the whipping of an Apache. How can I encourage= graduate students to participate in a conference that is neither safe nor= inviting for many students, especially students of color? I expressed my= concern about the hostile environment and lack of noticeable change within= the WHA and twice, colleagues told me to wait, hold on, because things are= changing. Yet, how much has changed if discussions and concerns from last= year and years before remain. Real change occurs when oppressive,= colonizing actions, structures, and methodologies are recognized and= challenged and new paths toward decolonization are forged.

We (WHA)pay an honorarium, small by many speakers' standards, for an annual banquet speaker. We members also pay a small ransom to attend a banquet with lackluster food, no particular entertainment value, and with third rate speakers not related even to history -- much less the history of the West. These are reasons I've chosen to avoid most banquets in recent years. Why not pay our honorarium to a historian to speak at the banquet (not necessarily a historian of the West). Most historians would find the honorarium a nice tidy sum (as opposed to these other folk). As to sitting long hours during the conference, isn't that why we come to the conference? What are a couple of more hours on the other side of our laps? I also like the dessert/event idea after the banquet we've done that in the past, and it was popular. Lastly, those who don't want to eat at the banquet have always been able to come after the meal and listen to the awards, speeches, etc.. Why don't we make it more explicit, especially for newcomers and graduate students, that there is nothing wrong with doing that? Brit Storey Bureau of Reclamation P.S. Many of you have not arranged conferences in the past. The number of banquet chairs filled, as well as the anticipated number of hotel rooms that will be filled, often relates to the price an organization is given for hotel rooms and meeting rooms. So, simply abandoning banquet events might have adverse financial implications for both WHA and our members. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 11:50:17 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: Query: Texts and Logging, Mining, RRs Howdy -- I would like to querry H-Westers who are in the teaching field with a question - - What texts are currently used in classes that address issues such the history of logging, mining and railroading in the west? Thanks! Carl Barna Regional Historian BLM Colorado State Office ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 14:03:34 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: Replies: Texts and Logging, Mining, RRs Carl, Check out Jeff Safford's MECHANICS OF OPTIMISM (University Press of Colorado, fall 2004). A Professor Emeritus at Montana State University in Bozeman, Jeff spent nearly two decades researching the financing and technology--and what he has called the "gold-bust dynamics"--of a hard-rock mining district in Montana Territory, and the insights set forth in his new book are helpful in understanding the whys and wherefores of all those failed mining ventures that haven't heretofore made it into the history books. Since much of what he discusses is also applicable to some extent to those districts that succeeded, as well as those that failed, the text should be useful to any student of mining history. Linda Peavy Independent Scholar Middletown Springs, Vermont 05757 **** Carl: What is it exactly that you're looking for? Tho I've taught a class on the History of Western Mining, it's been several years since I last offered it. On the other hand, I use occasional books on mining and logging in my History of the West, History of Alaska, History of Canada and History of the Pacific Northwest classes, for example Jeremy Mouat's ROARING DAYS, or Kathie Durbin's TONGASS: PULP POLITICS AND THE FIGHT FOR ALASKA'S RAINFOREST. Rather than whole texts, tho, I much more frequently create readers using articles and chapters from books that our distance clerks assemble and process for copyright. Occasionally I get real creative and put together an exercise combining numerous resources like my unit on Flat, Alaska, for my History of Alaska class. So, back to the question. What are you looking for?

Schwarzenegger's cowboy diplomacy Three days after the national holiday commemorating Cristobal Colon (Columbus) earlier this month, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger breezed through Old Town in San Diego and spent time visiting with the patrons of a Mexican restaurant. According to a San Diego Union-Tribune report, Schwarzenegger wanted to make it known that he is opposed to two gaming initiative ballots. "Vote No on Propositions 68 and 70!" he is said to have repeatedly called out to the restaurant customers. In a demonstration of diplomatic finesse and subtlety, Schwarzenegger is reported to have said to one couple: "The Indians are ripping us off.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in the ballot fight over tribal gaming. Ventura, a friend of Schwarzenegger's and co-star in two of his movies, has the lead role in a new TV advertisement in which he accuses the governor of "trying to exploit" gaming tribes.

In the case, the FPPC sued the Santa Rosa tribe of Lemoore for failing to report large campaign contributions within required timelines.

Elizabeth AH John, were OU Press to make it available again. I assigned it regularly for my borderlands history class, but it went out of print several years ago. I would love to have it available again, and I'm trying to convince OU Press to consider this, and am pretty sure I could interest them to do this if there were others who would assign it. Could you write me backchannel (I'm not sure that this would generate useful conversation for the group), if you're so inclined? abrazos Sam Truett ********************************** Samuel Truett Assistant Professor of History University of New Mexico truett@unm.edu <mailto:truett@unm.edu> ********************************** --Boundary_(ID_WORQa6g2r9L3IeQ7/sy/ag) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name=ProgId content=Word.Document> <meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 9"> <meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Word 9"> <link rel=File-List href="cid:filelist.xml@01C4BC0D.CC77B350"> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:DoNotRelyOnCSS/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:DocumentKind>DocumentEmail</w:DocumentKind> <w:EnvelopeVis/> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:1627421319 -2147483648 8 0 66047 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Arial; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:blue; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} p.MsoAutoSig, li.MsoAutoSig, div.MsoAutoSig {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Arial; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-reply; mso-ansi-font-size:10.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family:Arial; mso-hansi-font-family:Arial; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial; color:navy;} @page Section1 {size:595.3pt 841.9pt; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:35.4pt; mso-footer-margin:35.4pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1027"/> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext="edit"> <o:idmap v:ext="edit" data="1"/> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--> </head> <body bgcolor=white lang=EN-GB link=blue vlink=blue style='tab-interval:.5in'> <div class=Section1> <p class=MsoNormal><span class=EmailStyle17><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>FWIW I can&#8217;t &#8216;assign&#8217; it as I don&#8217;t teach but I would certainly recommend it.

There sleeping Wiyot men, women and children, returning from ceremonial dances, were caught unaware and brutally slain. One hundred and forty years later, the Wiyot people are working to dance once more on Indian Island (the center of their cultural world, home to the ancient village of Tuluwat, and traditional site of the World Renewal Ceremony.) Recently, the Wiyot,s have purchased a portion of the island where they are working to restore cultural heritage and protect the environmental integrity of the land. Another 60 acres of the village site has been returned to the Wiyot by a notable transfer of ownership from the City of Eureka. „Celebrating the Return of Tu,Lu,Wat Village‰ has been chosen as th e theme of the 23rd Annual Elders Dinner and Inter-Tribal Gathering hosted by the Northern California Indian Development Council. A salmon and turkey dinner and traditional give away ceremony to all Elders in attendance regardless of race will highlight the days proceedings. The occasion also features an Inter-Tribal Gathering with California Tribal dances throughout the day and a Pow Wow Demonstration. Representatives from the Tolowa, Yurok, Karuk, Hoopa, Aztec and Pomo Tribes will perform traditional Tribal dances and Kumeya,ay Bird Singers will also perform. There is no charge for entrance to the Gathering. The dinner is free to all Elders (Age 55 & Over). For those under 55 a $6.00 donation for dinner tickets is requested, 12 and under is $3.00. Native communities have long respected the skills, wisdom and knowledge of elders and enjoy this time to show them how much we appreciate them. Please join us for this family friendly day that includes Native craft sales and demonstrations, delicious fry bread and Indian Tacos, and a chance to taste buffalo and veggie burgers. Most importantly, you and your family can help honor the historic return of Tuluwat Village. Community support is being sought this year to once again ensure the success of this event.

"These new fronts, economically and political are the new battlefield," Pico said. "We have an opportunity, the first in hundreds of years, to define sovereignty on our terms. We need to involve our tribal leaders to educate the American public and bring them with us on our quest because our ability to move forward, like it or not, will be decided in the court of public opinion. In the end, the voting public will decide the fate of Native Americans." <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2184> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Eight tribal families moving home after firestorm The anniversary of the Paradise fire was a bittersweet day for eight San Pasqual fire survivors who got keys to their new homes Tuesday, marking the tribes' first milestone in its recovery process. "Last year you'd see frowns on people's faces," said Cheryl Calac, a tribal council member coordinating the rebuilding efforts. "Now, you're seeing the smiles in the people's faces a year later ... and the sparkle in their eyes." Of all the San Diego and Riverside county reservations damaged by the October fires, the San Pasqual reservation was hit the hardest. The 269-member Valley Center tribe had 70 homes destroyed and nearly all 1,300 acres of its land scorched. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2183> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Herbicide Spraying Forest officials wanted to clear the brush and plant trees, but critics had argued that spraying the herbicide glyphosate would kill important wildlife habitat and destroy plants that Native Americans rely on for basketweaving, food and ceremonies.

Instead, Spanish sources of information at St. Louis reported on the departure of the Zebulon Pike expedition from that post in 1806. The Pike expedition had been created under the auspices of General James Wilkinson, US commander in the west. Pike was to explore the areas to the west up the Arkansas and Red Rivers. When word of the Pike expedition reached the commander of the Provincias Internas, General Nemesio Salcedo, the decision was made to disptach a troop of soldiers to intercept the American expedition if it moved into Spanish territory. Facundo Melgares, then at Santa Fe, received command of this troop, which left New Mexico and headed north shortly after Pike's departure from St. Louis. Melgares went as far to the northeast as the modern Texas panhandle, camping in what is now Oldham County. Melgares never did find the Americans and he returned emply handed to Santa Fe. Pike, however, did make contact with another group of Spaniards, who took him to Santa Fe where he thought that his expedition was arriving as their guests. Instead, Melgares arrested him and his men as interlopers, taking them south into Mexico in order to appear before the commander of the Provincias Internas as Spanish prisoners. Eventaully, Pike and his men were returned to the United States the following year. Most of what US historians know about Melgares comes from Pike's diary, An Account of Expeditions to the Sources of the Mississippi and through the Western Parts of Louisiana to the Sources of the Arkansaw, Kansas, La Platte, and Pierre Jaun rivers. Philadelphia, C. & A. Conrad 1810. Mlegares later became governor of New Mexico and is well known to historians in that capacity.

No doubt you've already had him check NMHR indexes. If you don't have access to them, let me know, and I'll look.

I would suggest replying directly to Michelle. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michelle St Clair <mcstclair@hotmail.com> Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 12:36:57 -0700 Subject: Faunal and Zooarchaeological Studies in the Califoria Missions To: histarch@asu.edu I am a graduate student at the College of William and Mary and I am currently wrapping up my MA thesis on the zooarchaeological analysis of material from the courtyard and neophyte housing areas of Mission San Juan Bautista in California. Although most of my background research is complete, I am still seeking information regarding recent scholarship or studies of California missions. I thought perhaps someone on HISTARCH might have some suggestions. I am particularly interested in studies of foodways and comparative faunal analysis (especially those that compare different areas of the mission, perhaps indicating specific processing areas). Also of value are any enthnographic studies or faunal analyses of contact era or ethnographic Native American sites, especially studies of the Ohlone. I would also be interested in studies from missions outside of California. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for your interest and guidance.

Board members promised that this museum will continue to change and grow - it will get even better, they said. I was in the nation's capital as part of an assignment with Knight Ridder's Washington bureau, and a little nervous about covering this national story. The museum's curvilinear shape and ochre shade made it a wildflower among the rest of the Smithsonian's stodgy buildings, I noticed as I stood near the entrance. Then, I nearly jumped back when I saw corn stalks waving gently alongside the structure. Vines of squash curled around the stalks, and tobacco plants provided an edging for this native garden. Donna House, who is Navajo/Oneida, is responsible for all those indigenous plants growing so joyfully in this land so foreign to them. The museum fills the last big open space on the Mall and is nearest to the nation's Capitol. Just inside the building, the museum is a land of circles and rounded edges with a high, 120-foot-wide rotunda that made me think, "Sky." The museum seemed to flow and move almost as if it were alive and breathing. I liked that. The museum contains a cafe called Mitsitam which means "to eat" in the language of the Piscataway and Delaware people. The cafe serves both North American Indian and South American Indian foods. I wasn't pleased with its Indian fried bread; it was too tough. And the South American restaurant was good except for the salad made from cactus. It had a strange texture that offended my North Dakota taste buds. There also are two museum stores with a lot of pricey items. I visited but didn't buy anything. The second and third floors are filled with artifacts and art of American Indians. Each circle contained 24 thematic exhibitions and was called, "Our lives, our peoples and our universes." The exhibitions are of tribes from Alaska to Chile. The technology used to put together these exhibitions is outstanding. I sat and watched several of the touch-operated short films and sighed at how moving they were. When a group from South America saw their exhibit, they were so touched that they dropped to their knees and cried, a friend told me. She cried, too. Twice, I watched one 13-minute presentation that had four large screens, a 40-foot dome and even visuals on the floor in the Lelawi Theater. The film is about the diversity of native life and is spectacular. The museum has about 3,500 objects so that visitors can see the breadth and diversity of native culture. Before the opening, about 17,000 American Indians, grouped by tribe, marched down the Mall. There were so many people that the march lasted from about 9:30 a.m. to noon. Entertainment was everywhere you looked. Dancers, storytellers and American Indian entertainers were all over the Mall, in the museum and anywhere else there was a gathering - singers such as Buffy Sainte-Marie and Rita Coolidge were among the people featured. I sat in one of the museum's theaters-in-the-round and listened to Annie Humphrey, Ojibwe folk singer from Northern Minnesota, as she accompanied herself on acoustic guitar. She sang from her album, "The Heron Smiled." I interviewed Indian people from Gila River, Ariz.; California tribes; Crow tribes from Montana and the Yakima tribe from Washington. I looked for someone from a Plains tribes. I would see Plains regalia and head in that direction, only to find a member of a West or East Coast tribe that has been newly recognized. I did hear from some native people who said there weren't enough Plains exhibits in the museum. That seemed to be true, but when you are trying to include 540 Indian tribes in the United States as well as Indians in Canada and Central and South America, you might run out of space, I guessed. Taxi cabs, honking cars and the rushing throngs on the Metro subway added to the hectic pace of our nation's capital. Still, my visit was an exciting and enjoyable time. The National Museum of the American Indian was impressive, but I was glad to get home after a few days in Washington, D.C. Yellow Bird writes columns Tuesdays and Saturdays.

I sat in one of the museum's theaters-in-the-round and listened to Annie Humphrey, Ojibwe folk singer from Northern Minnesota, as she accompanied herself on acoustic guitar. She sang from her album, "The Heron Smiled." I interviewed Indian people from Gila River, Ariz.; California tribes; Crow tribes from Montana and the Yakima tribe from Washington. I looked for someone from a Plains tribes. I would see Plains regalia and head in that direction, only to find a member of a West or East Coast tribe that has been newly recognized. I did hear from some native people who said there weren't enough Plains exhibits in the museum. That seemed to be true, but when you are trying to include 540 Indian tribes in the United States as well as Indians in Canada and Central and South America, you might run out of space, I guessed. Taxi cabs, honking cars and the rushing throngs on the Metro subway added to the hectic pace of our nation's capital. Still, my visit was an exciting and enjoyable time. The National Museum of the American Indian was impressive, but I was glad to get home after a few days in Washington, D.C. </x-tad-smaller><italic><x-tad-smaller>Yellow Bird writes columns Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Many local school districts across the United States include within their boundaries parcels of land that are owned by the Federal Government or that have been removed from the local tax rolls by the Federal Government, including Indian lands. These school districts face special challenges--they must provide a quality education to the children living on the Indian and other Federal lands, while sometimes operating with less local revenue than is available to other school districts, because the Federal property is exempt from local property taxes. Since 1950, Congress has provided financial assistance to these local school districts through the Impact Aid Program. Impact Aid was designed to assist local school districts that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt Federal property, or that have experienced increased expenditures due to the enrollment of federally connected children, including children living on Indian lands. The Impact Aid law (now Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA)) provides assistance to local school districts with concentrations of children residing on Indian lands, military bases, low-rent housing properties, or other Federal properties and, to a lesser extent, for children who have parents in the uniformed services or employed on eligible Federal properties who do not live on Federal property. HOW DOES A SCHOOL DISTRICT APPLY? Local school districts must submit an application annually. Applications are available from the Impact Aid Program beginning in November and must be submitted by January 31. A school district must provide in its application specific information about the local federal property, the number of children enrolled that are associated with the federal property, and the total membership and average daily attendance in the schools. State departments of education must also provide some data. HOW CAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS USE IMPACT AID? School districts use Impact Aid for a wide variety of expenses, including the salaries of teachers and teacher aides; purchasing textbooks, computers, and other equipment; after school programs and remedial tutoring; advanced placement classes; and special enrichment programs. Most Impact Aid funds are considered general aid to the recipient school districts and may be used in whatever manner they choose, in accordance with state and local requirements. Although most school districts use Impact Aid for current expenditures, funds may also be used for capital expenditures. Payments for Children with Disabilities must be used for the extra costs of educating these children. PAYMENTS In order to be eligible for Impact Aid payments, a school district must have an enrollment of at least 400 federally connected students or the number of those children must be at least 3 percent of the average daily attendance (ADA). Each district, using a federal Parent-Pupil Survey, collects enrollment information annually. Survey numbers are used as the basis for payment calculations for the following school year. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 21:57:07 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: FAS & You( health ) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 21:57:24 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Oops (FAS) What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? http://www.nofas.org/main/what_is_FAS.htm What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? FAS is a lifelong yet completely preventable set of physical, mental and neurobehavioral birth defects associated with alcohol consumption during pregnancy. FAS is the leading known cause of mental retardation and birth defects. What are Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND) and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD)? Prenatal alcohol exposure does not always result in FAS˜although there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Most individuals affected by alcohol exposure before birth do not have the characteristic facial abnormalities and growth retardation identified with FAS, yet they have brain and other impairments that are just as significant. Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND) describes the functional or mental impairments linked to prenatal alcohol exposure, and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD) describes malformations in the skeletal and major organ systems. What are the Primary Characteristics of FAS, ARND and ARBD? Individuals with FAS have a distinct pattern of facial abnormalities, growth deficiency and evidence of central nervous system dysfunction. In addition to mental retardation, individuals with FAS, ARND and ARBD may have other neurological deficits such as poor motor skills and hand-eye coordination. They may also have a complex pattern of behavioral and learning problems, including difficulties with memory, attention and judgment. How often do FAS, ARND and ARBD Occur? As many as 12,000 infants are born each year with FAS and three times as many have ARND or ARBD. FAS, ARND and ARBD affect more newborns every year than Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome combined. How can Alcohol-Related Effects be prevented? FAS, ARND and ARBD are 100% preventable when a woman completely abstains from alcohol during her pregnancy. NOFAS prevents alcohol-related effects through public awareness and education, and by increasing access to prenatal health care. Another key to prevention is to screen all women of reproductive age for alcohol problems and to use appropriate strategies, such as treatment for alcohol problems, to eliminate drinking before conception. How does a mother,s drinking affect her unborn child? When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her baby; through the blood vessels in the placenta, the mother,s blood supplies the developing baby with nourishment and oxygen. If the mother drinks alcohol, the alcohol enters her blood stream and then, through the placenta, enters the blood supply of the growing baby. Alcohol is a teratogen, a substance known to be toxic to human development. Depending on the amount, timing and pattern of use, if alcohol reaches the growing baby,s blood supply, it can interfere with healthy development. If a woman drinks wine, beer or liquor when she is pregnant, her baby could be born with FAS. There is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy. What if I am pregnant and have been drinking? If you consumed alcohol before you knew you were pregnant, stop drinking now. Abstaining from alcohol for the remainder of your pregnancy can have a beneficial effect even on functions that might have been affected by earlier drinking. The sooner you stop drinking, the better the chance of having a healthy baby. You could be pregnant and not know it. So if you are trying to get pregnant or are sexually active and not using contraception, don,t drink alcohol. The following summary is excerpted from the 10th Special Report to the U.S. Congress on Alcohol and Health produced by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The passage further describes FAS and the issues associated with prenatal alcohol exposure and serves as an introduction to the report,s comprehensive chapter on the subject. To view the full report, visit the NIAAA Web site at www.niaaa.nih.gov. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a set of birth defects caused by maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. At birth, children with FAS can be recognized by growth deficiency and a characteristic set of minor facial traits that tend to become more normal as the child matures. Less evident at birth˜but far more devastating to FAS children and their families˜are the lifelong effects of alcohol-induced damage to the developing brain. FAS is considered the most common nonhereditary cause of mental retardation. In addition to deficits in general intellectual functioning, individuals with FAS often demonstrate difficulties with learning, memory, attention, and problem solving as well as problems with mental health and social interactions. Thus these individuals and their families face persistent hardships in virtually every aspect of life. Estimates of FAS prevalence vary from 0.5 to 3 per 1,000 live births in most populations, with much higher rates in some communities (Stratton et al. 1996). However, the diagnosis of FAS identifies only a relatively small proportion of children affected by alcohol exposure before birth. Children with significant prenatal alcohol exposure can lack the characteristic facial defects and growth deficiency of FAS but still have alcohol-induced mental impairments that are just as serious, if not more so, than in children with FAS. The term "alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder" (ARND) has been developed to describe this condition. In addition, prenatally exposed children without FAS facial features can have other alcohol-related physical abnormalities of the skeleton and certain organ systems; these are known as alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD). Because the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing brain appear to be especially long lasting and debilitating, a significant proportion of research has concentrated on brain malformations as well as cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. In this chapter, the section on "Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: Effects on Brain Structure and Function" describes research using neuroimaging techniques to provide precise pictures of brain abnormalities found in persons exposed to alcohol before birth. The studies strongly support the notion that alcohol has specific, rather than global, effects on the developing brain. The section also describes current research on the many behavioral manifestations of this structural brain damage, including problems with cognitive and motor functions as well as mental health and psychosocial behavior. It is unlikely that a single mechanism can explain all of the deleterious effects that result from alcohol exposure during pregnancy. As described in the section "Underlying Mechanisms of Alcohol-Induced Damage to the Fetus," alcohol exerts its effects on the developing fetus through multiple actions at different sites. In the developing brain, for example, alcohol has been shown to interfere with the development, function, migration, and survival of nerve cells. Also, in the embryonic cell layer that develops into the bones and cartilage of the head and face, alcohol exposure at critical stages of development induces premature cell death that is thought to be linked to the FAS facial defects. These actions of alcohol have provided scientists with numerous paths for pursuing possible biochemical mechanisms for these actions. Better understanding of the mechanisms may point to pharmacologic approaches for intervening or for preventing alcohol-related fetal injury. Although research in animals and humans is continuing to provide details about alcohol-induced deficits, efforts to prevent these problems are not nearly so advanced. The section "Issues in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Prevention" notes that numerous strategies to prevent FAS have been implemented in recent years, but that rigorous analysis of the effectiveness of these approaches is in its infancy. The section summarizes major reviews of FAS prevention efforts, presents issues related to research methods and evaluations, and describes research on prevention approaches targeted to women at different levels of risk. Recent research underscores an intensifying need for effective prevention strategies. One study found that although alcohol use among pregnant women decreased between 1988 and 1992 (from 22.5 to 9.5 percent), by 1995 it had increased to 15.3 percent (Ebrahim et al. 1998). Moreover, binge drinking (defined in the study as five or more drinks per occasion) among pregnant women, a particularly hazardous drinking pattern in terms of FAS risk, increased significantly between 1991 and 1995 (from 0.7 to 2.9 percent of pregnant women) (Ebrahim et al. 1999). In light of these unsettling findings, and because FAS and other adverse effects of drinking during pregnancy are completely preventable, the need for a solid research base to guide prevention program developers is critical.

Cramblit (Karuk), NCIDC Operations Director In collaboration with the UC Berkeley Nutrition Education Extension program and selected Indian Health Service agencies, NCIDC has conducted a dietary and nutrition study of Native communities in California. The study showed that American Indian families are greatly undernourished due to the lack of income and/or access to food resources. The study also revealed that this factor is worsened by low number of federal, state and local food service programs by serving Tribes and American Indian Organizations. According to the 2000 U.S. Census data, California now has the nations largest American Indian population, over 635,562 individuals, who have one of the highest poverty rates among ethnic groups. The lack of basic nutrition also leads to a variety of health problems. The most serious of these includes a high prevalence of diabetes among American Indians, which is over twice the overall rate. „About 15 percent of American Indians and Alaska Natives who receive care from the Indian Health Service have been diagnosed with diabetes, a total of 105,000 people. On average, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.6 times as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of a similar age.‰ To help reduce these problems NCIDC is working to promote a healthy diet as a part of a traditional, healthy lifestyle. Our Community Food and Nutrition Program (CFNP) will continue to focus on providing Information and Referral services, Training and Technical Assistance and facilitation of local program development and resource leveraging. Through this program NCIDC will continue to support better nutritional health for American Indian and Alaskan Native people in California. NCIDC has identified and prioritized the following needs: 1) Improve awareness and access to under-utilized, federal, state, and local food services programs, thereby increasing the number of low-income American Indian people and their families to receive critically needed culturally relevant food and nutrition information and services. 2) Assist in the reduction of health problems related to poor nutrition with a primary focus on children and elders. CFNP activities and services include: ACTIVITY 1: Food and nutrition newsletters distributed to Tribes and Native Organizations ACTIVITY 2: Expand and host Food and Nutrition Section of NCIDC,s Web Site (http://www.ncidc.org/foodnut.htm) ACTIVITY 3: Publish and distribute copies of „Reclaim your Body and Health‰: by Mary Farkas, M.S., R.D., M.A and Native American Health Recipes: by Dr. Cruz Acevedo. (See these books at: http://www.ncidc.org/food/cookbook.htm). ACTIVITY 4: Provide training and technical assistance to Tribes for applying for Summer Food & School Breakfast Programs. ACTIVITY 5: Nutritionist support for Child & Senior Food Programs. NCIDC will contract with appropriate nutritionist to provide specific nutrition assistance to American Indian food service programs for children and seniors. ACTIVITY 6: Peer Consulting for Child & Senior Food Programs. NCIDC will establish a system of peer consulting where effective food and nutrition operators will be available to those in need of assistance to improve their program delivery. ACTIVITY 7: Assistance with Program Development. - Mini-Grants. NCIDC will establish a small grants assistance project for food and nutrition program operators that will provide funds for improving access to food, the nutritional value of food served to American Indian children and seniors, and to increase the awareness of nutritional related health issues. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 22:03:21 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Documenting Endangered Languages (DEL) An Interagency Partnership Program Solicitation NSF 04-605 National Science FoundationDirectorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences National Endowment for the Humanities Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural HistoryFull Proposal Deadline(s) (due by 5 p.m. proposer's local time):November 1, annually SUMMARY OF PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSGeneral InformationProgram Title: Documenting Endangered Languages (DEL) An Interagency PartnershipSynopsis of Program: This multi-year funding partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports projects to develop and advance knowledge concerning endangered human languages.

INTRODUCTIONAt least half of the world,s six to seven thousand currently used human languages are about to be lost. About three hundred of these languages now have fewer than one hundred native speakers (Crystal, 2000). These endangered languages constitute an irreplaceable treasure, not only for the communities who speak them, but also for scientists and scholars.l Each endangered language embodies unique local knowledge of the cultures and natural systems in the region in which it is spoken.l These languages are among the few sources of evidence for filling in the record of the human past.l The great variety of these languages represents a vast, largely unmapped terrain on which linguists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers can chart the full capabilities˜and limits˜of the human mind.Since the discipline of linguistics is a responsibility both of the National Science Foundation and of the National Endowment for the Humanities, addressing this intellectual crisis is an appropriate and timely use of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by NSF and NEH in August and September of 2002, respectively.Recent advances in information technology can magnify the effect of prompt and coordinated fieldwork. These advances make it possible not only to document endangered languages before they perish, but also to integrate and analyze that body of knowledge in unprecedented ways. Computerization of speech and universal Internet access can transform the practice of linguistics in the area of endangered languages.l The actual sounds of a language will be available.l Linguists will have uniform access to all data sets, not limited by encoding format.l The data will be searchable in a large variety of ways.l Computerization will drive the development of a unified ontology for linguistics, eventually rationalizing inconsistent descriptive terminologies and analyses.The Smithsonian Institution will participate in the partnership as a research host, a non-funding role. A coordinated, sustained, and technologically sophisticated interagency initiative by these three U.S. partner agencies is intended to complement efforts already underway elsewhere in the world.ReferenceDavid Crystal, Language Death (Cambridge University Press, 2000).II. PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONDocumenting Endangered Languages is a joint, multi-year funding program of the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop and advance scientific and scholarly knowledge concerning endangered human languages. Made urgent by the imminent death of approximately half of the 6000-7000 currently used human languages, DEL seeks not only to document these endangered languages but to integrate, systematize, and make knowledge concerning them widely available by exploiting advances in information technology.Principal Investigators (PIs) and Applicants for Fellowships (Applicants) may propose projects to: 4 1. conduct fieldwork to record in digital audio and video format one or more endangered languages;2. carry out later stages of documentation including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases;3. digitize and otherwise preserve and provide wider access to such documentary materials, including previously collected materials and those concerned with languages which have recently died and are related to currently endangered languages;4. further develop standards and databases to make this documentation widely available in consistent, archivable, interoperable, and Web-based formats;5. conduct initial analysis of findings in the light of current linguistic theory;6. train native speakers in descriptive linguistics;7. create other infrastructure, including workshops, to make the problem of endangered languages more widely understood and more effectively addressed.PIs or Applicants may propose projects involving one or more of the above activities. Proposed projects may range from a single investigator working for six months to a group of investigators working for three years. DEL gives the highest priority to projects that involve actually recording in digital audio and video format endangered languages before they become extinct.Roles of the Partner AgenciesAll DEL proposals will be accepted and processed by means of the NSF FastLane system. All DEL proposals will receive their specialist (ad hoc) and then panel review within the NSF review process. Reviewers will be chosen jointly by NSF and NEH staff. Proposers will be asked to address, and reviewers asked to apply, the two general NSF criteria (intellectual merit and broader impact) in ways specific to the joint DEL program.The estimated number of awards to be funded by NSF and NEH is 18 to 22. Approximately twelve DEL fellowships and two to four project grants will be funded and administered by NEH. Proposers of the projects identified for NEH funding will be asked to withdraw their proposals from NSF and resubmit them to NEH. (This process generally can be accomplished electronically.) All other DEL awards will be funded and administered by NSF.The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History will invite some Fellows and personnel from some funded projects that are particularly concerned with language materials held by the Smithsonian to use the Museum as a research base. III. ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION Organization Limit:Academic institutions and non-profit, non-academic organizations located in the United States are eligible. For-profit organizations are not eligible to apply to this program. However, personnel in for-profit organizations may participate as co-investigatorsPI Eligibility Limit: 5 For PROJECT GRANTS: No eligibility limit.For FELLOWSHIPS: U.S. citizens are eligible to apply for fellowships. Foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the proposal deadline are also eligible to apply for fellowships.Limit on Number of Proposals: None Specified. IV. AWARD INFORMATIONEstimated program budget, number of awards and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds. However, it is expected that about $2 million in funding will be available (approximately $1 million from NSF and approximately $1 million from NEH).At least half of the available funding will be awarded to projects involving fieldwork.Funding will be available not only in the form of standard and continuing grants, but also as fellowships.Award Size and DurationApproximately 6-10 Standard or Continuing Grants ranging from $12,000 to $150,000 per year for one to three years.Approximately 12 Fellowships of either $40,000 (9-12 months) or $24,000 (6-8 months)Special Fellowship ConditionsA Fellowship award of $40,000 will support nine- to twelve-month full-time individual tenure; an award of $24,000 will support a six- to eight-month full-time individual tenure. Applicants should request tenure periods that suit their schedules and the needs of their projects. A request for a shorter tenure period will not improve chances of receiving an award. The earliest that Fellows may begin their fellowship tenure is June 1, seven months after the proposal deadline date. For proposals submitted for the November 1, 2004 deadline, that date would be June 1, 2005. The latest that Fellows may begin their fellowship tenure is January 1, twenty-six months after the proposal deadline date. For proposals submitted for the November 1, 2004 deadline, that date would be January 1, 2007. Recipients must complete their fellowship tenure within two years of the beginning of the fellowship tenure. An award recipient must work full-time on the project and may not accept a teaching assignment or undertake any other major activity.Time devoted to the project may be divided into no more than two separate periods of no less than three months each.Fellowship proposals may be submitted not only by individuals but also by two persons working together on a single project. Both of them must be eligible to submit proposals for fellowships under this program solicitation; see "PI Eligibility Limit" in Section III above. In dual proposals, both the unifying purpose of the project and contributions to be made by each proposer must be clear. Awards will not be made for parallel but unintegrated projects. All fellowships will be awarded to individuals, so two persons working together on a single project must each submit a separate proposal.Fellowships awarded under this program are not intended to support graduate course work or completion of a master's degree. The proposed project, however, may contribute to the completion of a doctoral dissertation.All fellowships will be awarded and administered by the National Endowment for the Humanities. 6 V.

Before starting a proposal in FastLane, a Fellowship candidate or other unaffiliated individual must register as an independent Principal Investigator (PI). Information concerning this process can be found at https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/N1IndvFormReg .The Project Description should not exceed 15 pages. Included within this limit is a maximum of five pages detailing the results of work supported in the past five years by NSF or NEH, if any. Also included should be brief sample materials (i.e. entries, records, or database results for specific queries) that illustrate the content and presentation of any final product.In general, the Project Description should indicate the work to be undertaken, the methodologies to be employed, the schedule according to which the work will be carried out, and the roles and qualifications of the project participants. The two general NSF criteria should be addressed explicitly and separately. In addressing the intellectual merit criterion, including the relevant considerations in Section VI.A. (below), discuss also the degree of endangerment of the language(s) to be documented and the urgency of the need for documentation. Describe the level, quality, and accessibility of any existing documentation of the language(s). Discuss any special linguistic, historical, cognitive, cultural, or social significance of the language(s). Discuss plans for archiving recordings, field notes, and processed documentary materials in a stable environment. In discussing methods to be employed in recording, documenting, and archiving the endangered language(s), include reference to current statements of best practices (e.g. Bird and Simmons, 2003; E-MELD; "Methodology and Standards" statements of the NEH Preservation and Access Division).Discuss aspects of the project that will ensure interoperability with related materials. In addressing the broader impacts criterion, including the relevant considerations in Section VI. A. (below), discuss also collaboration and other arrangements made with the speaker community. Discussion may include reference to the training of native speakers in the practice of linguistics and to the production of resources useful to the community of native speakers.Discuss any intellectual property issues that might affect the availability of the materials.

The Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) must electronically sign the proposal Cover Sheet to submit the required proposal certifications (see Chapter II, Section C of the Grant Proposal Guide for a listing of the certifications). The AOR must provide the required electronic certifications within five working days following the electronic submission of the proposal. Proposers are no longer required to provide a paper copy of the signed Proposal Cover Sheet to NSF. Further instructions regarding this process are available on the FastLane Website at: http://www.fastlane.nsf.govVI. PROPOSAL REVIEW INFORMATIONAll DEL proposals for project grants and fellowships will receive specialist (ad hoc) and panel review within the NSF review process. Reviewers will be chosen jointly by NSF and NEH staff. Reviewers will be asked to apply the two general NSF criteria (intellectual merit and broader impact) in ways specific to the objectives of the interagency DEL program (see below).A. NSF Proposal Review ProcessReviews of proposals submitted to NSF are solicited from peers with expertise in the substantive area of the proposed research or education project. These reviewers are selected by Program Officers charged with the oversight of the review process. NSF invites the proposer to suggest, at the time of submission, the names of appropriate or inappropriate reviewers. Care is taken to ensure that reviewers have no conflicts with the proposer. Special efforts are made to recruit reviewers from non-academic institutions, minority-serving institutions, or adjacent disciplines to that principally addressed in the proposal.The National Science Board approved revised criteria for evaluating proposals at its meeting on March 28, 1997 (NSB 97-72). All NSF proposals are evaluated through use of the two merit review criteria. In some instances, however, NSF will employ additional criteria as required to highlight the specific objectives of certain programs and activities. On July 8, 2002, the NSF Director issued Important Notice 127, Implementation of new Grant Proposal Guide Requirements Related to the Broader Impacts Criterion. This Important Notice reinforces the importance of addressing both criteria in the preparation and review of all proposals submitted to NSF. NSF continues to strengthen its internal processes to ensure that both of the merit review criteria are addressed when making funding decisions.In an effort to increase compliance with these requirements, the January 2002 issuance of the GPG incorporated revised proposal preparation guidelines relating to the development of the Project Summary and Project Description. Chapter II of the GPG specifies that Principal Investigators (PIs) must address both merit review criteria in separate statements within the one-page Project Summary. This chapter also reiterates that broader impacts resulting from the proposed project must be addressed in the Project Description and described as an integral part of the narrative.Effective October 1, 2002, NSF will return without review proposals that do not separately address both merit review criteria within the Project Summary. It is believed that these changes to NSF proposal preparation and processing guidelines will more clearly articulate the importance of broader impacts to NSF-funded projects.The two National Science Board approved merit review criteria are listed below (see the Grant Proposal Guide Chapter III.A for further information). The criteria include considerations that help define them. These considerations are suggestions and not all will apply to any given proposal. While proposers must address both merit review criteria, reviewers will be asked to address only those considerations that are relevant to the proposal being considered and for which he/she is qualified to make judgments.What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity?How important is the proposed activity to advancing knowledge and understanding within its own field or across different fields? How well qualified is the proposer (individual or team) to conduct the project? (If appropriate, the 9 reviewer will comment on the quality of the prior work.) To what extent does the proposed activity suggest and explore creative and original concepts? How well conceived and organized is the proposed activity? Is there sufficient access to resources? What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?How well does the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning? How well does the proposed activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic, etc.)? To what extent will it enhance the infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks, and partnerships? Will the results be disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding? What may be the benefits of the proposed activity to society? NSF staff will give careful consideration to the following in making funding decisions:Integration of Research and EducationOne of the principal strategies in support of NSF's goals is to foster integration of research and education through the programs, projects, and activities it supports at academic and research institutions. These institutions provide abundant opportunities where individuals may concurrently assume responsibilities as researchers, educators, and students and where all can engage in joint efforts that infuse education with the excitement of discovery and enrich research through the diversity of learning perspectives. Integrating Diversity into NSF Programs, Projects, and ActivitiesBroadening opportunities and enabling the participation of all citizens -- women and men, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities -- is essential to the health and vitality of science and engineering. NSF is committed to this principle of diversity and deems it central to the programs, projects, and activities it considers and supports. B. Review Protocol and Associated Customer Service StandardAll proposals are carefully reviewed by at least three other persons outside NSF who are experts in the particular field represented by the proposal. Proposals submitted in response to this announcement/solicitation will be reviewed by Ad Hoc Review followed by Panel Review. Reviewers will be asked to formulate a recommendation to either support or decline each proposal. The Program Officer assigned to manage the proposal's review will consider the advice of reviewers and will formulate a recommendation.A summary rating and accompanying narrative will be completed and submitted by each reviewer. In all cases, reviews are treated as confidential documents. Verbatim copies of reviews, excluding the names of the reviewers, are sent to the Principal Investigator/Project Director by the Program Director. In addition, the proposer will receive an explanation of the decision to award or decline funding.NSF is striving to be able to tell proposers whether their proposals have been declined or recommended for funding within six months. The time interval begins on the closing date of an announcement/solicitation, or the date of proposal receipt, whichever is later. The interval ends when the Division Director accepts the Program Officer's recommendation.In all cases, after programmatic approval has been obtained, the proposals recommended for funding will be forwarded to the Division of Grants and Agreements (or the NEH Office of Grants Management) for review of business, financial, and policy implications and the processing and issuance of a grant or other agreement. Proposers are cautioned that only a Grants and Agreements Officer may make commitments, obligations or awards on behalf of NSF or authorize the expenditure of funds. No commitment on the part of NSF should be inferred from technical or budgetary discussions with a NSF Program Officer. A Principal Investigator or organization that makes financial or personnel commitments in the absence of a grant or cooperative agreement signed by the NSF Grants and Agreements Officer does so at their own risk.VII. AWARD ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION 10 A. Notification of the AwardNotification of the award is made to the submitting organization or to the Fellow by a Grants Officer in the Division of Grants and Agreements (or the equivalent NEH Office). Organizations whose proposals are declined will be advised as promptly as possible by the cognizant NSF Program Division administering the program. Verbatim copies of reviews, not including the identity of the reviewer, will be provided automatically to the Principal Investigator or Fellow. (See section VI.A. for additional information on the review process.)B. Award ConditionsAn NSF award consists of: (1) the award letter, which includes any special provisions applicable to the award and any numbered amendments thereto; (2) the budget, which indicates the amounts, by categories of expense, on which NSF has based its support (or otherwise communicates any specific approvals or disapprovals of proposed expenditures); (3) the proposal referenced in the award letter; (4) the applicable award conditions, such as Grant General Conditions (NSF-GC-1); * or Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) Terms and Conditions * and (5) any announcement or other NSF issuance that may be incorporated by reference in the award letter. Cooperative agreement awards also are administered in accordance with NSF Cooperative Agreement Terms and Conditions (CA-1). Electronic mail notification is the preferred way to transmit NSF awards to organizations that have electronic mail capabilities and have requested such notification from the Division of Grants and Agreements.*These documents may be accessed electronically on NSF's Website at http://www.nsf.gov/home/grants/grants_gac.htm. Paper copies may be obtained from the NSF Publications Clearinghouse, telephone (703) 292-7827 or by e-mail from pubs@nsf.gov.More comprehensive information on NSF Award Conditions is contained in the NSF Grant Policy Manual (GPM) Chapter II, available electronically on the NSF Website at http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?gpm. The GPM is also for sale through the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402. The telephone number at GPO for subscription information is (202) 512-1800. The GPM may be ordered through the GPO Website at http://www.gpo.gov.Special Award Conditions:Upon conclusion of the review process, meritorious proposals may be recommended for funding by either NSF or NEH at the option of the agencies, not the proposer. Subsequent grant administration procedures will be in accordance with the individual policies of the awarding agency.NEH award conditions are available electronically at: http://www.neh.gov/manage/ggps.html .C. Reporting RequirementsFor all multi-year grants (including both standard and continuing grants), the PI must submit an annual project report to the cognizant Program Officer at least 90 days before the end of the current budget period. NEH has its own reporting requirements, which will be outlined in NEH award documents.Within 90 days after the expiration of an award, the PI also is required to submit a final project report. Failure to provide final technical reports delays NSF review and processing of pending proposals for the PI and all Co-PIs. PIs should examine the formats of the required reports in advance to assure availability of required data. PIs are required to use NSF's electronic project reporting system, available through FastLane, for preparation and submission of annual and final project reports. This system permits electronic submission and updating of project reports, including information on project participants (individual and organizational), activities and findings, publications, and other specific products and contributions. PIs will not be required to re-enter information previously provided, either with a proposal 11 or in earlier updates using the electronic system. VIII.

The Smithsonian Institution operates with a mix of public and private funds; nevertheless, the institution receives most of its support from federal appropriations with the balance of funding from grants, contracts, endowment income, and business activities. The Smithsonian was established in 1846 as a unique trust instrumentality established for the benefit of the public and created by an act of Congress for the "increase and diffusion of knowledge." The Smithsonian's independent status represents a cornerstone of the Institution's culture, and bestows critical intellectual and programmatic freedom. The institution is governed by a Board of Regents, which appoints the Secretary of the Institution who, in turn, appoints the Director of the National Museum of Natural History. The National Museum of Natural History's Board provides valuable assistance and advice on resource development, strategic planning, external advocacy, 14 and networking. Visit the NMNH Website at http://www.mnh.si.edu/PRIVACY ACT AND PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENTSThe information requested on proposal forms and project reports is solicited under the authority of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended. The information on proposal forms will be used in connection with the selection of qualified proposals; project reports submitted by awardees will be used for program evaluation and reporting within the Executive Branch and to Congress.

The award is the latest honor for a person who has spent the past quarter century helping Indian students to learn. „ [The award] was a bit of a shock,‰ Joyce Silverthorne told the Native American Times. „One of the nominators called me when they found out.‰ Silverthorne, 57, spent her early years as an Air Force brat, moving back to the Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Flathead Reservation when she was still in high school. She has taught at Salish Kootenai College and at the Bureau of Indian Affairs-funded Two Eagle River School. Silverthorne is currently the education director for the tribe and has been a member of the Montana Board of Public Education for 10 years. She serves as a member of the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory's advisory committee on math and science, while still finding time to raise a family of her own. „As a parent, grandparent, and a great-grandparent, I am humbled for the recognition,‰ said Silverthorne. „Especially when I think about the quality and access to education we all want for future generations. It has been a long road, but one I am proud to travel each day as an educator for my community.‰ She has also endeavored to achieve the endorsement and certification of Native languages in Montana,s school system and serves on the Salish Kootenai College Foundation Board, is a founding member of the newly developed Board of Tribal Education Departments National Assembly, and is the Chairperson of the Coalition for Kids, a cross-cultural non-profit organization concerned with youth on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Soldiering on the frontlines of the battle to educate Native students, Silverthorne says she has seen marked improvement but there is still work to be done. „I believe that we have far better awareness for education and its need in the community. We are still struggling to achieve a fair and level playing field,‰ she said. „There are drastic cultural differences and a n unfamiliarity within the system.‰ The NIEA award is given out annually to an American Indian educator, counselor or administrator who has shown significant work in the following areas 1) Development of innovative education programs; 2) Improvement of educational quality in the community or region; 3) Shown significant impacts in the local community; 4) Worked for passage of legislation designed to improve student services delivery; 5) Promoted educational equity for students; 6) Promoted training for American Indian teachers and counselors of Native students; 7) Promoted bilingual or multicultural programs; or 8) Developed programs to improve the education of Native people. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 22:09:04 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: SIDS (health) Infant Deaths Winston-Salem Journal Monday, October 25, 2004 The discouraging news that North Carolina's Sudden Infant Death Syndrome rate rose unexpectedly last year should serve as a call to action for parents, health care providers and public health officials. If all act, young lives can be spared. During 2003, 100 children died of the mysterious affliction. That was an increase from 81 the year before and it reversed a steady downward trend over the past decade, according to The News & Observer of Raleigh. As recently as 1994, the state suffered 135 SIDS deaths. SIDS, the leading cause of death for babies older than one month, remains a mystery despite years of medical research. If there are medical reasons why seemingly healthy babies die unexpectedly, researchers have not found them. But by studying the circumstances of those deaths, researchers have found trends and they've found parenting methods that reduce the death rate. According to keepkidshealthy.com, there are patterns to SIDS deaths. Most SIDS deaths occur while the baby is between two and four months old, and most occur in colder months. Babies put to sleep on their stomachs are much more likely to die of SIDS than babies placed on their backs. Black babies are twice as likely and American Indian babies are three times as likely to die of SIDS as are white babies. The first and most important thing parents can do is put their babies to sleep on their backs. This is relatively new advice - about a decade old - and the North Carolina "Back to Sleep" campaign plans to re-emphasize it in the coming months in light of the rise in the SIDS rate. According to the Web site, the national rate of SIDS deaths is only 60 percent that which it was before the back to sleep campaign began. Parents should follow other good practices. They should put the baby on a firm mattress in a safety-approved crib. Soft mattresses, sofas, waterbeds and other soft surfaces are dangerous. So are fluffy and loose bedding. Remove from the crib all such material, including pillows, quilts, stuffed toys and other soft items, and, it's very important to make sure that the baby's face and head stay uncovered during sleep. Keep the baby warm, but don't allow the baby to get too warm. Parents, especially mothers, should not smoke either before or after the birth of a child and should create a smoke-free zone around the baby at home. Health care providers and government agencies have a responsibility to inform new parents of these safety measures. Parents have the responsibility to employ them with their babies. Society, as a whole, must get the word out to all parents that there are ways to reduce SIDS deaths even though all the causes are unknown. It will take all of us to accomplish this health education job.

The site, "American Indian Health," is at http://americanindianhealth.nlm.nih.gov. Because special populations have different health needs, the Library has created several specialized sites, for example, for Asian Americans, those living in the Arctic and far north, senior citizens, and Spanish-speaking Americans. (These are all available from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases.) American Indian Health addresses the special needs of this population. Research shows that Native Americans are 2.6 times more likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of a similar age. American Indians also have a greater mortality risk for tuberculosis, suicide, pneumonia, alcoholism, and influenza than the average population. American Indian Health brings together pertinent health and medical resources, including consumer health information, the results of research, traditional healing resources, and links to other Web sites. Much of the information has been assembled from other National Library of Medicine resources such as PubMed and MedlinePlus. "The National Library of Medicine is interested in reaching out to populations with special needs," said Donald A.B. Lindberg, M.D., Library director. He notes that, for Native Americans, the NLM has a history of attending local powwows and making health information available during those events. The National Library of Medicine, the world's largest library of the health sciences, is a component of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Scott Reckard, The Los Angeles Times, October 25, 2004, pg. C2. Copyright 2004 Los Angeles Times, All Rights Reserved. [ìSan Diego, California: Directors of the Borrego Springs Bank, which specializes in financial services for Native Americans, have given the go-ahead for the bankís majority shareholder the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians to buy out minority investors. The proposed deal would pay $23.7 million in cash to minority shareholders in the three-branch San Diego County bank, which had struggled for many years. The Viejas band began investing in Borrego in 1996, later increasing its share to 70% as the institution developed specialized loans for tribes, financial literacy and credit counseling programs and casino- support services. It also focuses on small-business lending.î] [2] ìTwo Tribes Reach Out Across Miles and Years: Makahs Want to Repay Chukchisí Whaling Gesture,î Kathy George, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, October 25, 2004, pg. A1. Copyright 2004 Seattle Post-Intelligencer, All Rights Reserved. [ìSeattle, WA: The Makah Tribe in Washington and the coastal Chukchi Tribe in Russia began sharing gray whales centuries ago. . . .Each tribe took what it needed from the population - until the 1920s, when decimation by commercial hunters left too few of the whales to share. The Makahs stopped hunting whales. And a way of life, steeped in songs, halted. But the sharing did not end. And today, the two whaling tribes will celebrate the Makah cultural revival that was made possible partly because the Chukchis agreed to give the Makahs part of their international quota of gray whales. At Neah Bay this afternoon, the once-distant tribes will teach each other dances from the past, evoking the days when Makahs sang welcome songs to the whales they dragged from the sea. In celebrating their past, they hope to strengthen bonds in the future. ëIt's a whole new relationship,í said Micah McCarty, a member of the Makah Tribal Council, which has struggled since 1997 to restore the tribe's whale hunting tradition. . . . Earlier this year, the Makahs entered their first formal cultural and scientific exchange agreement with the Chukotka Marine Mammal Hunters Association, which includes the Chukchis as well as whale-hunting Eskimo tribes from Chukotka, the region of Russia closest to Alaska, McCarty said.î] [3] ìAboriginal Languages Face Extinction,î Canadian Press, The Leader-Post (Regina, Saskatchewan), October 25, 2004, pg. A2. Copyright 2004 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest Global Communications Corp., All Rights Reserved. [ìSaint-Sauveur, Que: Many of Canada's aboriginal languages could face extinction in as little as a generation unless government gets involved, said some participants Sunday at a conference held to discuss the problem. ëWe have to preserve and above all revitalize (these languages),í said Thanissa Laine, a co-ordinator for the second Conference on Aboriginal Languages. ëThere is no law protecting endangered languages in Canada but there are (laws) for animals that are becoming extinct.í Of Canada's 50 aboriginal languages, 47 face extinction within one or two generations. And though Cree, Ojibwa and Inuktitut have enough speakers to survive another four or five generations they too will die out unless action is taken, said Lise Bastien, director of the board of education for Quebec's First Nations. About 150 participants from Canada and the United States gathered for the three-day conference to discuss endangered languages and how to preserve them. Bastien said some communities have had short-term success by teaching all or a portion of elementary education in an aboriginal language or having elders participate in social or community activities with children so the language is transmitted naturally. However, long-term progress won't be made until government gets involved, she said. ëLanguage is very important for the cultural blossoming of aboriginal communities,í she said. ëIt would take a financial commitment and an official recognition of the languages (by the government).

Copyright 2004 United Press International, All Rights Reserved. [ìA planned world congress next month on the Spanish language is shaping up into a battle against the dominance of Castilian and in favor of greater linguistic diversity in both Spain and Latin America. On one side is the Royal Spanish Academy, the institution that regulates the language, and is the principal organizer of the Third International Congress of the Spanish Language in Rosario, Argentina, from Nov. 17-20. Ranged against this august body is a group of Latin American and Spanish academics and representatives of non- governmental organizations who plan to hold a counter-conference in the same city two days earlier. The main conference theme is ëLinguistic Identity and Globalization,í but it is the issue of identity that is under attack. Many of the world's 400 million speakers of Castilian, or ëofficialí Spanish, do not acknowledge it as their main language. The split reflects a double challenge from Spain's other regional languages such as Catalan and Basque on the one hand, and from a revival of interest in indigenous cultures in Latin America. A recent criticism of the official conference issued by a group of academics in Barcelona said that ëto designate Castilian as the Spanish language is a provocation for the peoples that have suffered and still suffer from its imposition.íî] [2] ìRussell Means Arrested At Pine Ridge,î Associated Press, October 25, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìAuthorities arrested American Indian activist Russell Means, 65, on Saturday for failing to appear in federal court a day earlier to deal with some traffic tickets. Means, one of two candidates for president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in the Nov. 2 election, was ready to appear at a student rally at Billy Mills Hall in Pine Ridge when ëfour cops and a (criminal investigator) came in [and] asked him to step outside,í said Eileen Janis, who is a candidate for tribal vice president. He was freed on bond three hours later after friends drove to Manderson to buy a $510 money order. After his release, Means said, ëThere's no excuse, I was just campaigning too hard.í Means said he is pleading not guilty to five traffic tickets issued in Badlands National Park earlier this year. Federal Magistrate Marshall Young issued the warrants after Means missed his court date, U.S. Marshall Warren Anderson of Sioux Falls said. Warrants were issued for each traffic violation and for failure to appear. Means said he offered to pay the $510 bond with a personal check or a credit card, but the arresting officers would not accept that payment. ëThey wanted a money order,í he said. ëSo right there in front of the police, the people of Pine Ridge Village took up a collection and raised the cash.íî] [3] ìFight To Preserve Building Not Over,î Donald McArthur, Windsor Star, October 25, 2004. Copyright 2004 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest Global Communications Corp., and Windsor Star, All Rights Reserved. [ìThe Huron Nation representative in Ontario will appear before Amherstburg council tonight as part of a bid to save the historic Salmoni building from demolition. ëI don't think anyone in this country has a right to destroy our history,í said David Grey Eagle Sanford Sunday. ëI'm going to council Monday night and tell them they're not going to do it. This is an outrage against the history of this country.í A Huron Nation prayer ceremony was to be held late Sunday outside the building. Sanford said the building is located on "sacred land" that was the sight of a historic meeting between representatives from 11 First Nation tribes in May of 1812. The 155-year-old Salmoni building is owned by Mike Angileri, a developer who wants to raze the structure and build a luxury condominium complex. But some concerned Amherstburg residents and heritage buffs, including Pat Malicki, regional president of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, have launched a fight for the building's preservation. Ontario's Minister of Culture Madeleine Meilleur recently weighed in on the controversy, urging the town in a letter to work with Angileri to ëensure that this important landmark will be retained.í Amherstburg resident Elio Del Col said Sanford's trip here was ëvery significantí and stressed demolition opponents aren't going to give up the fight.î] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

DL&C Update Notice ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 16:14:16 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: Replies: WHA Banquet: Suggestions for the Future What a good forum this has turned into! A couple of thoughts -- 1. Individual five minute speeches times twenty or so speakers plus coming and going time will create exhaustion among an audience with already advancing ischial callosities (rear end enhancements among certain primate species) from two days of talks papers etc. Nobody could possibly be held to five minutes unless this were part of the actual acceptance ritual. 2. Maybe the winner of the best book award could be given half an hour? or twenty minutes 3.The American Ethnological Society some years ago awarded to incoming presidents a fine piece of Hopi sand cast jewelry in the form of a medallion on a heavy silver chain suitable to be worn by either sex. Could a design contest be held at one of the reservation silversmithing schools for creation of a "President, Western History Association" medallion to be worn for a year and handed on annually in such a manner? This might settle the toast-and-award matter by creating a new "tradition." 4. There is something of a dichotomy indeed between those who can afford to attend the bandquet (or are subsidized to do so) and those who cannot. It would be too bad to encourage further a haves and have- nots subset division of the membership but perhaps this can't be avoided. -- Margot Liberty 1149 Pioneer Road Sheridan, WY 82801 mliberty@wavecom.net 307.672.8657 **** I really appreciate your letter and suggestions, Paul and Patty, for reorienting the WHA toward the present and future. Good ideas there and from what I read here, additional tweaking by others will help us get to a more enjoyable event. I, personally, like the idea of a shorter rather than longer period of banquet sitting, then on to dessert and dancing! Sandy Schackel Boise State University **** The WHA is right to reduce membership fees and conference registration fees for graduate students. However, the constraints of a very limited income hardly end upon graduation these days. As an adjunct professor, I find it extremely difficult to afford the registration fees and travel expenses related to attending the Western History Association annual meeting. Paying to attend either the luncheon or the evening banquet is simply out of the question on my very limited and unpredictable income, let alone both of them. I believe that the organization should consider any and all possible ways to make the annual meeting, including special events such as the opening reception, luncheon and evening banquet, more affordable for students, adjunct and junior faculty, and others outside the academy with limited incomes. For example, what would be lost if the luncheon and evening banquet were combined into one event? Is there a way for others to attend these events at no cost (or greatly reduced cost) if they will not be partaking in a meal, but simply want to hear the presentations? Could fees be graduated based on income, rather than on student vs. non-student rates? [Editor's note: It is my impression that the WHA has always had an open invitation to all who wish to hear the presentations at the luncheon and/or banquet while foregoing the meal.

It has always struck as unfortunate that conference attendees should have to pay the absurdly high prices for a hotel banquet in order to hear the presidential address and celebrate with the prize winners. Both of these events should be free and open to everyone; they are at the very core of our common enterprise. I'd like to see some thought given to the idea of combining the address and the awarding of prizes at a plenary session held in the late afternoon. If people want to hold onto some vestige of the banquet speaker idea, I'd propose that we rethink that, as well, and simply ask the program committee to come up with a terrific plenary talk or session that could be held in the evening and made accessible (and free) to all. I don't much want to engage here the ways in which hotel room rates might be tied to obligatory catering orders. But I, for one, would prefer marginally higher room rates to exorbitantly high meal costs that exclude so many people from hearing what is best made available without charge anyway. Marni Sandweiss Professor of American Studies and History Amherst College ******* Dear Elliott, I missed this year's banquet, but as an award winner from 2002 (the Michael P. Malone Award for an article in "Montana") and a banquet attendee the past two years, I wanted to put in a couple of thoughts. It struck me that the winners of the awards are announced in such a fashion that no one in the audience is able to grasp exactly what article or book has been honored, nor even its subject. I suggested to the WHA front office that a press release to the membership and media might be in order, so that members can look up these works of merit (and the recipients of the awards can forward the press release to their hometown newspaper and alumni bulletins). As a former chairman of a literary luncheon in Atlanta whose format is five authors, five minutes each, I can tell you that a parade of good authors making quick remarks can work very well -- but I also must warn that some authors are poor public speakers, and nothing is as painful as a shy professor afflicted with a case of the humma-hummas. Thus some thought should be given to selecting the sampling of people who are going to speak, and the point about not turning this into Oscar speeches is a good one. The best idea may be giving the author of the year an opportunity to speak about his or her book, on the theory that unlike the authors of articles or papers, the author of a good book is pretty likely to be able to speak for twenty minutes with passion and insight on the subject of the book. Thanks for the forum. Rick Allen ***** Would it be possible to take the money previously used for banquet speakers and put that toward reducing the price for students and the lightly-employed? Just a thought.

Directors of the Borrego Springs Bank, which specializes in financial services for Native Americans, have given the go-ahead for the bank's majority shareholder ˜ the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians ˜ to buy out minority investors. The proposed deal would pay $23.7 million in cash to minority shareholders in the three-branch San Diego County bank, which had struggled for many years. The Viejas band began investing in Borrego in 1996, later increasing its share to 70% as the institution developed specialized loans for tribes, financial literacy and credit counseling programs and casino-support services. It also focuses on small-business lending. In announcing the deal last week, Anthony R. Pico, chairman of the Viejas and a bank director, thanked the shareholders for providing the needed trust and support "to pioneer a new banking path into the emerging Native American economy." <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2179> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> The way to go on Indian gaming Tribal chairwoman Catherine Siva Saubel explained that the ancient Cahuillas wandered the state, including Barstow. More to the point, Saubel's nephew, a tribal spokesman, commented that BarWest "is paying for it. They can put it wherever they want." The city of Barstow hoped for a revenue windfall.

He presumably notified Spain which notified the governor of New Mexico he was comining. Thus rounding up Pike was easy. I had a conversation with Tom Chavez years ago about the expedition sent out to capture Lewis and Clark. I recommend Travis contact him at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. All I recall is that the expedition from Santa Fe was supposed to intercept Lewis and Clark somewhere in you neck of the woods and missed them by a couple of weeks.

Copyright 2004 Associated Press= & Local Wire, All Rights Reserved. [=93Seattle, WA: California and Washington state are in the midst of a= high- stakes, election-year showdown with American Indian tribes over= casino gambling. Voters in both states will decide Nov. 2 whether to take= a bite out of tribal casinos' business by expanding non-tribal gambling to= boost state revenues and provide tax relief. Both sides are spending= heavily to defend their turf. Four other states have gambling measures on= the statewide ballot this year - an attempt to cash in on the soaring= popularity of gambling following a decade that saw a rapid expansion of= Indian casinos around the nation. Experts say gambling money looks like a= sure bet to initiative sponsors in lean economic times - whether their goal= is lowering taxes, improving education or simply shoring up a weak state= budget. . . .In Washington state, voters will decide on a ballot initiative= that would allow up to 18,000 slot machines across the state. The populist= twist is that the 35 percent tax on the machines would pay for property-tax= reduction. Washington tribes have spent more than $5 million to defeat the= initiative, supported by a broad coalition of civic and church leaders. A= recent poll showed voters about evenly split. Down the coast in California,= voters will decide on two competing gambling measures, but the smart money= is on both failing. Proposition 68 would force tribes to pay a quarter of= their slot machine revenues to local governments. If the tribes refused to= pay, the state would let other businesses operate up to 30,000 slot= machines, taxed at 33 percent. Proposition 70, which is being pushed by a= handful of casino-operating tribes, would expand tribal casinos from= small-scale gambling parlors to full-fledged Las Vegas-style casinos,= complete with table games such as craps and roulette. . . .The names of= these ballot measure campaigns make it sound like a civil rights battle is= unfolding: "A Fair Share for California," "Floridians for a Level Playing= Field," and "Just Treat Us the Same" in Washington state. Scratch the= surface of the debate and you'll find years of built-up resentment against= the tribes. . . .The notion that people are clamoring to get the same= treatment as American Indians strikes many tribal members as a bitter= irony, considering the nation's history of genocide and broken treaties and= the current reality of high poverty rates and low life expectancies on= reservations.=94] [2] Finally, a Homeland for Samish Indians,=94 Florangela Davila, The Seattle= Times, October 24, 2004, pg. B1. Copyright 2004 The Seattle Times Company,= All Rights Reserved. [=93Anacortes, WA: Indian Country just grew by 80 acres. The Samish Indians= are trying not to feel smug. This is the tribe, after all, once dismissed= by federal authorities as being extinct. Now here it is, 1,100 members= strong, dispersed throughout coastal Washington and Canada but about to be= anchored by a swath of rural property abutting Campbell Lake on Fidalgo= Island. In a newsletter mailed last week, the tribe announced how the= acreage, purchased over the past three years, has been put into trust by= the federal government. The land transaction officially creates a Samish= homeland, a prize for a people who fought 27 years to be federally= recognized. =91It makes us feel that we knew who we were, even though the= government said we didn't exist,=92 said Dee Branson, the tribe's= treasurer. With plans to build 26 housing units on the site, =91we're= building as fast as we can and as we're building, it kind of says, `See.= See. See.' =91 Branson laughs. In 1855, when Samish territory stretched= throughout the San Juan Islands, the Samish and 14 other tribes signed the= Point Elliott Treaty, which meant ceding their lands in exchange for cash,= access to traditional hunting and fishing grounds, and reservations. A= Samish reservation, though, was never officially conferred. Then came the= struggle for recognition. In the century after the treaty, the Samish= considered themselves the signatory's descendants and believed they were a= federally recognized tribe. But in 1969 a clerk at the Bureau of Indian= Affairs, typing up a government list of tribes, inadvertently left it out. = As a result, federal officials cut off its services. The Samish lost their= fishing rights. Legal battles ensued and courts ruled the Samish were not a= distinct, separate, cohesive cultural or political group. . . . The tribe= purchased some $800,000 worth of property near Campbell Lake, just off= State Highway 20. Tribes typically ask the BIA to take land into trust so= the property will be exempt from state and county taxes, as well as= land-use laws. But Skagit County appealed the fee-to-trust transaction,= worried about the tribe's construction plans. =91We felt there was= potential for overdevelopment of the property,=92 says County Assessor Gary= Rowe. In the end, fearing additional delays, and with readily available= federal funding for housing construction, the Samish and county signed an= agreement saying only 26 units of housing would be built. The Samish also= waived some of their sovereignty over the property, agreeing to consult= with the county regarding any future plans. The housing is expected to be= completed in about two years.=94] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - -= - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN= staff.

H-WEST Digest - 24 Oct 2004 to 25 Oct 2004 (#2004-106)	There is one message totalling 137 lines in this issue. Topics of the day: 1. Replies: WHA Banquet: Suggestions for the Future ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 13:37:50 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: Replies: WHA Banquet: Suggestions for the Future From: Judy Austin austin_bott@rmci.net I think Patty and Paul have been inspired. Theirs was not the only conversation last week (both before and after the banquet) to share memories of truly disastrous banquet addresses. It has always seemed to me a considerable burden on the speaker to wait through the various awards and wind up--as Bill Kurtis did--beginning his orher remarks after 9 pm to an audience that has largely been sitting and listening for two days. We might consider--I'm only tweaking here--asking the winner of the Caughey Prize to speak for a few moments and otherwise rely on something from the chair of each particular prize committee about the winner. (I have undoubtedly won the enmity of such chairs--and I've had that role myself, so I understand; but I still think it would be a good idea.) With regard to The Toast. Its only virtue, it has seemed to me for years, is an official handing over of the presidency. Because we managed to avoid the particular ceremony this year, there was no such recognition of Peter Iverson's becoming president. Indeed, at one point before the end of the banquet Walter Nugent was referred to as the president-elect, which he really wasn't yet. Perhaps what we need is something like the presentation to Iris--but done by the new president as a symbol of transition. The person who actually wrote the toast, Peter Olch, was a very dear friend of mine whom I brought into the Western in the first place. He could never understand why we didn't all dress up in western clothing and do things like the toast; he never quite got the idea that we are a group committed to the serious study, preservation, and interpretation of the West's history whether we are in the academy or the public sphere as historians or people whose only connection to the history of the West is their love of it. The toast and ceremony have always seemed to me at best a reflection of Peter's view of the Western and at worst one person's ego trip (with all due respect to Sam Arnold, of whom I am very fond), causing awkwardness for many incoming presidents and those in the audience like me who have quietly refused to participate. I am grateful to Peter Iverson for bringing a halt to the ceremony, and I hope that his successors do likewise. Judy Austin Boise, Idaho austin_bott@rmci.net ***** Let me suggest some alternatives, We might also consider several other alternatives. As I remember, WHA moved from having the presidential address at the banquet because of the meal's cost. We thought that more people would be able to afford to hear it if it were held in connection with the luncheon. Given the cost of the banquet, we thought perhaps more people would come if we had a big name speaker. That has worked on occasion. Molly Ivins and Stewart Udall come to mind in that regards. That opened the problem of finding an acceptable banquet speaker, and as the number of prizes multiplied we had a problem fitting her or him into the allotted time. Frankly, I am not overawed by the prospect of a series of five minute talks from the prize winners. I suspect that many of them will simply wing it, particularly since they only have five minutes to fill. What if we simply ask the winner of the best book award as part of the prize to give her or his best shot at telling us what she or he thinks is important about the book? The president or Paul could emphasize that it must be done in an engaging manner. We could give him or her 15 or 20 minutes to do so after Paul and the president hand out the prizes. This way the banquet would simply become the WHA awards banquet. Alternatively, we might consider going back to the format where we have the presidential address at the banquet, give the prizes at the luncheon, and have the book award winner talk at the luncheon as well. This would allow us to hear the president then honor her or him at the dessert reception after the banquet. Since the dessert reception is open to everyone whether they attend the banquet or not, those who chose not to come to the banquet could come in late, listen to the president, then honor him or her at the reception. Tom Alexander ________________________________ ******** As someone who was not present at the banquet, I can only image what might have happened, and, if my imagination doesn't run to far, I think Paul Hutton's and Patty Limerick's ideas for changing the format of future gathers are generally good ones. I don't make every WHA meeting, but of those I have made I have to say that the giving of awards has always been the banquet draw for me. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to hear the winners spend five minutes discussing their research and scholarship. I would also love to hear the adjudication committee spokesperson describe in more detail what it was about the particular article/book that caught their attention. So yes, I agree. Ditch the banquet speaker and emphasize the awards. I also like the suggestion for a graduated banquet fee based on seniority. What a wonderful way for senior members of our field to create an inclusive atmosphere for the up-and-comers. Regards Keith Carlson Keith Thor Carlson, Ph.D. History Department University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon Canada 306-966-5902 ***** Patty, Paul & others: Three cheers for a decision to abandon a post-banquet speaker! I very much like the idea of asking prize committees to prepare and/or deliver BRIEF reports about their choices. I have more confidence that such reports can be reliably terse and informative than would speeches by prize winners, especially in the cases in which prizes go to both publishers and authors. We don't need to stage an alternative for the Academy Awards acceptance speeches do we? As you might imagine, given the fun we had staging a dance at Beinecke after the 1992 meeting, I'm an enthusiastic supporter for musical entertainment afterwards. I can support the idea of graduated fees for the banquet, though I wonder how much red-tape we might create for a very small office if we try to refine our prices too carefully. Is a discounted price for "student members" sufficient?

The Paradise fire was part of the worst wildfire disaster in California history. On the reservation home of the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, two deaths were reported and every acre of the five, noncontiguous tracts that comprise the reservation were swept by the fire.

WHA Banquet: Suggestions for the Future ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 12:27:57 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: WHA Banquet: Suggestions for the Future SOLUTION TO OUR BANQUET PROBLEM To The WHA Membership (if H-Westers know of members who are not on this list, please pass this on): We write to propose a solution to the problem of the banquet speaker. By the proposal we offer here, the events in Las Vegas offer the occasion to reconsider our organization's customs and redesign the banquet. This message originates from the fact that we ran into each other on Saturday afternoon and launched into a conversation reviewing the various "Misadventures in Public Speaking" that have figured in WHA history and folklore. In the last twenty years, a few banquet speakers have risen to the occasion and spoken with force, focus, wit, and an understanding of the audience. With the most generous estimate, the success rate would register at around 25%. Why? It is no easy matter to identify a high-profile speaker who will appeal to the members of the WHA, with the wide range of their interests and enthusiasms. And it is an even more difficult matter to coach, nudge, or persuade a speaker to pay attention to the nature of the audience and to prepare remarks appropriate to the group. Those among us who are ACLU members would be uncomfortable with explicit restrictions on the speaker's rights of expression. And there is, obviously, nothing in our organization's portfolio of powers that would allow anyone to interrupt and redirect a speaker if she or he decides to take a different tack from what the event organizers thought would be the topic. Usually, the President chooses the banquet speaker. But that, in itself, poses a challenge, since the next step-contacting a high-profile speaker and persuading him or her to come for a very minimal honorarium-is no easy matter. Plus, WHA history shows that it is not uncommon for a confirmed speaker to make other plans at the last minute, leaving the conference organizers scrambling to find a replacement. Our troubles this year offer a prime example: by the initial plan, the speaker was to be Scott Momaday, and when he was unable to participate, a substitute had to be found on short notice. The idea of featuring a speaker at the banquet is, in our judgment, an experiment that has been given more than a fair chance to deliver favorable results. After Friday night, the result of the experiment is unmistakable: it's time for a better plan. The honoring of the WHA's prize winners is, we think, the core of the banquet. With a speaker hovering on the horizon, the prize announcements have had to be rushed and hasty. Thus we propose to make the giving of the awards into the major activity of the banquet. It is time for members of the organization to accept and recognize that having a banquet speaker proved to be more trouble than it was worth. We would, then, shift to a new program by which each winner of a book or article prize would be on stage for five minutes. In that time, the winner could read a paragraph or two from the winning text, or describe the research project that led to the publication. Alternatively, we could ask the members of the prize committee to describe the virtues of the winning text. This exercise would offer the double advantage of informing the banquet attendees about the content and quality of cutting-edge work in the field and giving the winners more than a split-second in the sun. And then, at the end of this informative and fun set of presentations, a sudden change of pace happens: the doors are opened to sumptuous desserts; a band (a group from the area of the conference, ideally reflecting the ethnic diversity of the locale) strikes up; and the hard-of-hearing are given a sequestered place to pursue their conversations, while people of a younger vintage can dance, or at least tap their toes. Of course, there remains the problem of the price of the banquet; given the constraints of holding events at hotels, there is not much to be done about that. But we propose for consideration one interesting possibility: given the disparity of income among WHA members, prices for the banquet could be designed like the graduated income tax. The better-off could pay more and thus reduce the burden on students and on those less rewarded by their institutions. If this is socialism, it's creeping at a pretty slow pace, and it does have the virtue of initiating a kind of mini-redistribution-of-wealth within the organization. We are entirely receptive to suggestions to modify or reconfigure the plan to retire the idea of the banquet speaker and shift the spotlight onto the prize-winners. We offer the proposal with the conviction that there is no reason on earth to let our various "banquet misfortunes" divide a group of people who share the common goal of paying close attention, and respect, to the human experience in Western North America. We're eager to hear your response. Yours, Paul Hutton and Patty Limerick P.S. We recognize that we have not addressed the question of whether or not this reconfigured banquet would allow room for toasts-to the Old West, to the New West, or to the West-not-yet-imagined. This new plan for the banquet would, we hope, offer an opportunity to consider the question of toasting (and the management of "tradition" that comes to a focus in this question) in a fresh and productive way. ------------------------------ End of H-WEST Digest - 21 Oct 2004 to 24 Oct 2004 (#2004-105) *************************************************************	Automatic digest processor <LISTSERV@H-NET.MSU.EDU>	10/25/2004

Arnold Schwarzenegger's comment last week at a San Diego restaurant was insensitive. During the campaign stop, Schwarzenegger told diners, "The Indians are ripping us off." "When you hear him make a statement that is so blanket and across the board, that Indians are ripping us off, I think we need an apology for that," said David Lent, of the Piyute Tribe. "It's almost racist. I don't see how he can make a statement that the Indians are ripping us off. And, in California, who's been ripped off over the years? It sure isn't Arnold Schwarzenegger." <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2169> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> What's at stake for Indian country American Indians are an important part of the fabric of our country. From the cultures of the more than 560 federally-recognized tribes with their rich languages and beautiful artwork to the economic development and businesses that create jobs in Indian country and beyond, American Indians' contributions to our country are immeasurable. As a veteran, I want to pay tribute to the bravery of American Indians who serve in the Armed Forces in greater percentage than any other group in our society. From the Code Talkers in World War II to Private Lori Ann Piestewa, who was killed serving her country in Iraq, American Indians have a long record of service that we all must honor. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2171> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Schwarzenegger opposes gaming initiatives Amid renewed charges of racism over comments made last week, Gov.

"We will be willing to discuss fair share, but we're not going to fund California's bureaucracy," he said.

It's good that student numbers are up on campus. It's good that the count of American Indian students has increased, too - to 411, to be exact. It's fall on campus and the beginning of a new year - a new page for these students. Unfortunately, an old issue - the Fighting Sioux mascot and logo - is haunting incoming students. Thursday afternoon, I attended the "welcome-back" picnic for American Indian students. It was well attended, with President Charles Kupchella, his wife, Adele; Robert Boyd, vice president for student affairs; UND professors and staff; and friends and even candidates running for political offices. The majority of the attendees at the picnic, however, were the new and returning Indian students. People roamed University Park's picnic area, visiting as if it were a "wing- ding" at some posh Washington, D.C., establishment. But instead of having a glass of wine in hand, we wandered with plastic foam cups of lemonade. Students were calling to each other across picnic tables. It was, perhaps, the first time they'd seen this or that friend since May. It was good to see. But I was disappointed to hear that some of the students were feeling more uncomfortable with each passing day. Why? Students have been approached about the issue of the Fighting Sioux name. The Indian students were asked, why isn't the name honoring? Some of the new students weren't aware of the issue and couldn't respond, but they felt intimidated, I was told. Mikki Kozel, a staff person for Indian programs, said students who are visibly Indian seemed to be targeted - not only on the campus, but in classes. If they are the only Indian student in the class, they are asked to explain or talk about the Fighting Sioux issue, she said. They are uncomfortable. I understand what it's like to be sought out to answer questions about Indians. I am visible, so people ask me questions - any and all questions - about Indians. I try to answer them. I always feel that if they are asking, they really want to know and are looking for understanding and connection. I am a columnist, however, and I see that as one of my roles in the community. Indian students are in Grand Forks to attend the university for an education. Questions about the "Fighting Sioux issue" probably should be addressed to veterans of that "mascot war" and in the appropriate setting. If the atmosphere is tainted and uncomfortable, why is there a growth in the number of students? Why don't Indian students attend, say, North Dakota State University in Fargo, for example, where they could rally behind the Bison? I asked Mikki. NDSU has only about 133 Indian students sprinkled amid almost the same total enrollment as UND. In spite of the nickname issue, she said, UND is a good school. The university has more than 26 programs for Indians - programs in which students are eligible for cultural diversity waivers, stipends and other aids. "We have an Indian center full of people who are dedicated to helping students" - something not available at many other universities, she said. Also, students at UND don't get lost in the shuffle. When they come from a reservation and are, perhaps, lacking in some academic area, they can get tutorial help and certainly staff support. "We make all efforts to retain students they have recruited," Kozel said. Also, UND has a history of providing education for Indian students, she said. There are a lot of students here who came to UND because their parents graduated from here. They want to follow in their parents' footsteps. My sister - she is a new doctorate student at UND - told me that the campus atmosphere has changed since she attended classes and worked at UND. It was during her time that the "Sammy Sioux" logo was changed to a geometric style. So, there was progress toward less racism at that time, but that movement now seems to have stalled, she said. When Ned Hill, a consultant hired by the Knight Foundation to study Grand Forks' strengths and weaknesses, was here in 2002, one of the issues he identified was the logo of the university. As we all know, the issue has received national attention, too. At this time, however, we are bound by things we cannot change - at least not now. We can't change the name at this time, nor can we erase the number of Indian heads in Ralph Engelstad Arena. Yet, it is possible for our community, including the university, to deal with the issue in other ways. Here are some ways: encourage respect for Indian people and our culture, provide education about Indians, instigate discussions, find ways to connect the community and talk about racism and prejudice openly. The university is a good place to start. After all, isn't it the role of a university to grapple with thorny issues and, perhaps, find answers? Yellow Bird writes columns Tuesdays and Saturdays.

And I'm sure that you'll appreciate that its time we had a President of the United States who keeps his commitments. Thank you for this opportunity to pay my respect to all the tribal leaders there, to the members of the NCAI, to Tex Hall your accomplished president, to Jackie Johnson your great Executive Director and to all the other officials there. In 1883 - one hundred twenty years ago - Chief Sitting Bull went before members of the United States Senate and asked them to hear his plea. He said, "I sit here and look around me now, and I see my people starving." And as has been the case far too often - that plea was ignored. As President, I will work with you to create an unprecedented partnership with tribal governments to improve the lives of Native Americans all over America. That has been far from the case with George W. Bush. He has forgotten, abolished, turned back on the good work that President Clinton did to bring justice to Native Americans - and I will turn that around. I'm running for President because, at every turn, George Bush has given the hardest working Americans a Raw Deal. He's favored tax cuts for the wealthy and special favors for the special interests over what's fair for working Americans. He's buckled to lobbyists and the powerful instead of standing up for everyday Americans. This Administration's motto really should be "no special interest left behind." I am running because I believe in putting country before campaign contributions. That is a faith so many of us share - an ethic passed down from generation to generation. Throughout history, the Native American community has demonstrated that it shared this belief in the ideals this nation was founded on. I learned about that first hand in a place far from home. In Vietnam, I served alongside so many Native Americans who fought for this nation with courage and honor. In fact, the percentage of Native Americans serving in our Armed Forces has been higher than the percentage of any other group in our society, from the Code Talkers of World War II right down to Private Lori Piestawa, who was killed serving her country earlier this year in Iraq. Just last week - in Arizona on Veteran's Day - I met the family of Ira Hayes. Born on the Pima Indian Reservation in Sacaton, Arizona, Ira was the son of a poor farming family. Ira joined the Marine Corps during World War II and his Tribal Chief told him to be an honorable warrior. Fighting on a small island in the Pacific, he and five other young Americans - slogged their way through Japanese resistance - through withering machine gun fire, mortars exploding all around them -- they pushed on foot by foot, yard by yard, across the beach and up Mt. Suribachi - to plant the American flag on top of that bloody peak at Iwo Jima. Here they were - after 36 days - 25,000 American casualties - a defining moment in America's heroic battle against Japan. The last guy in the line that was planting the flag in the photograph over near the rubble was killed the next morning. And his parents never found out how he was killed, or whether he had even been there, never knew he was one of the people who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi. But Ira Hayes, who came back a recognized hero, never forgot his friend and the sacrifice he'd made. And lying in his bed one day in Arizona years later, down and out on his luck, he remembered his friend who had been killed, and he felt a sense of responsibility and he got up out of bed, and hitch hiked across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. And he went to Harlan Block's mother Belle and he told her the story. And for the first time she learned that her son raised that flag at Iwo Jima. Ira Hayes didn't need to do that. But he knew we are tied together in a single garment of destiny - and so do we. When I came home from Vietnam, I went out to the reservations in Arizona and New Mexico. I was there to help dedicate a Veterans Chapel - but I wanted to see life on the reservations first-hand. It was the time of Russell Means and the sieges at Mount Rushmore and at Wounded Knee. A nation was being awoken to the devastation that had been wrought on the lives on Native Americans - and we were being called to action. What I saw there never left me - and gave me a passion to redress the wrongs faced by Native Americans. I saw inadequate housing, children without real education, men and women without hope. But I also saw a people committed to a better life and proud of their noble heritage. And I have fought alongside you ever since. I do believe past is prologue. That's why I am proud of my record in the Senate on behalf of Native Americans and others in our society who have never gotten a fair shake. And I will do everything I can as President to build on that record. Sadly, few Native Americans remain in my home state of Massachusetts, but I have spent my time and energy on issues of concern to you because it is the right thing to do. I've helped the Nipmuk tribes of New England to achieve the recognition they need to qualify for federal benefits. I've co-sponsored legislation giving tribes the authority to issue school improvement bonds. Legislation giving Native American children dental care under Medicaid and the CHIP program. And the Native American Small Business Development Act. I want to speak with you about my vision for the future and mycomprehensive agenda for Native Americans. I am the only candidate with a comprehensive agenda for Native Americans and I look forward to the work we can do together if I am elected President of the United States. Its time this nation lived up to the obligations of its trust relationship. Again and again, Native Americans are getting the short end of the stick. The life expectancy for Native Americans is 17 years shorter than it is for other Americans - in large part because of the poor health care being provided by a seriously underfunded Indian Health Service. Fifty-seven percent of Native America fourth graders are reading at levels below the minimum basic achievement levels. States spend $4,000 to $5,000 per mile for road maintenance annually on average, but the federal government spends only $500 per mile for roads in Indian Country. However, there are many success stories in Indian Country and I want to work with you all as President so that we can hear about more of these successes. We need to strengthen the government-to-government relationship between the federal government and the tribes. I will increase funding for the Indian Health Service. In the last two years, I've seen the health care system up close and personal. I've lost both my parents and had an operation myself. I got the care I needed because you pay for great health care for Senators and Congressmen. As President, I'm going to give every family that health care because your family's health is just as important as any politicians in Washington. I will build roads and more housing in tribal communities - forty percent of homes in tribal communities are overcrowded and need repairs and we need a President who gets to work on this. I will stimulate economic development and increase loans to Native-owned businesses from the Small Business Administration. In 1997, there were almost 200,000 Native-owned businesses but with unemployment sky-high we have a long way to go. I will repair and build new BIA schools and make sure they get the resources they need so our children can learn. And finally, we need to forge a partnership with tribal governments to tackle 21st century threats to this nation. I recognize that with the vast expanses of lands that Native Americans control and manage and which often lie on this country's borders, tribes need to be a partner in protecting this country and be an active participant in our efforts to improve homeland security. That is why today I am announcing that as President, I will work to ensure that tribal governments take their place alongside state and local governments to protect the security of America. This is about common sense and it recognizes the important place that tribal governments play in our country. I will fight for specific legislative changes to assure tribal governments have an equal place at the table. And I will create a Native American position in the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that tribal governments are fully represented. Because this homeland belongs to all of us - and all of us must join together to defend it. That's the kind of president I will be: the kind of president who will honor this nation's moral and financial debts to Native Americans. Perhaps the greatest contribution that Native American culture has made to America is the world-view that we must have a sense of stewardship of our air, water, and land. We are temporary occupiers of the land, really just passing through, and it is our sacred duty to leave it to the next generation in as good a shape as we found it. That is a vision which I hope all of us who share and love this blessed and beautiful land can embrace. And if I am President, it is a vision with which will march forward together - linked hand-in-hand. --Apple-Mail-2--83382748 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=WINDOWS-1252 <bold><fontfamily><param>Helvetica Neue</param><smaller>Remarks of John Kerry to Nat=94l Congress of the American Indian on October 15, = 2004 </smaller></fontfamily></bold><fontfamily><param>Helvetica = Neue</param><smaller>I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you today but a previous commitment kept me away.=A0 And I'm sure that you'll appreciate that its time we had a President of the United States who keeps his commitments. Thank you for this opportunity to pay my respect to all the tribal leaders there, to the members of the NCAI, to Tex Hall your accomplished president, to Jackie Johnson your great Executive Director and to all the other officials there. In 1883 - one hundred twenty years ago - Chief Sitting Bull went before members of the United States Senate and asked them to hear his plea.=A0 He said, "I sit here and look around me now, and I see my people starving." And as has been the case far too often - that plea was ignored.=A0 As President, I will work with you to create an unprecedented partnership=A0 with tribal governments to improve the lives of Native Americans all over America. That has been far from the case with George W. Bush.=A0 He has forgotten, abolished, turned back on the good work that President Clinton did to bring justice to Native Americans - and I will turn that around. I'm running for President because, at every turn, George Bush has given the hardest working Americans a Raw Deal.=A0 He's favored tax cuts for the wealthy and special favors for the special interests over what's fair for working Americans.=A0 He's buckled to lobbyists and the powerful instead of standing up for everyday Americans.=A0 This Administration's motto really should be "no special interest left behind." I am running because I believe in putting country before campaign contributions.=A0 That is a faith so many of us share - an ethic passed down from generation to generation. Throughout history, the Native American community has demonstrated that it shared this belief in the ideals this nation was founded on.=A0 I learned about that first hand in a place far from home.=A0 In Vietnam, I served alongside so many Native Americans who fought for this nation with courage and honor. In fact, the percentage of Native Americans serving in our Armed Forces has been higher than the percentage of any other group in our society, from the Code Talkers of World War II right down to Private Lori Piestawa, who was killed serving her country earlier this year in Iraq. Just last week - in Arizona on Veteran's Day - I met the family of Ira Hayes.=A0 Born on the Pima Indian Reservation in Sacaton, Arizona, Ira was the son of a poor farming family.=A0 Ira joined the Marine Corps during=A0 World War II and his Tribal Chief told him to be an honorable warrior. Fighting on a small island in the Pacific, he and five other young Americans - slogged their way through Japanese resistance - through withering machine gun fire, mortars exploding all around them -- they pushed on foot by foot, yard by yard, across the beach and up Mt. Suribachi - to plant the American flag on top of that bloody peak at Iwo Jima. Here they were - after 36 days - 25,000 American casualties - a defining moment in America's heroic battle against Japan. The last guy in the line that was planting the flag in the photograph over near the rubble was killed the next morning. And his parents never found out how he was killed, or whether he had even been there, never knew he was one of the people who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi. But Ira Hayes, who came back a recognized hero, never forgot his friend and the sacrifice he'd made.=A0 And lying in his bed one day in Arizona years later, down and out on his luck, he remembered his friend who had been killed, and he felt a sense of responsibility and he got up out of bed, and hitch hiked across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. And he went to Harlan Block's mother Belle and he told her the story. And for the first time she learned that her son raised that flag at Iwo Jima. Ira Hayes didn't need to do that.=A0 But he knew we are tied together in a single garment of destiny - and so do we. When I came home from Vietnam, I went out to the reservations in Arizona and New Mexico. I was there to help dedicate a Veterans Chapel - but I wanted to see life on the reservations first-hand.=A0 It was the time of Russell Means and the sieges at Mount Rushmore and at Wounded Knee.=A0 A nation was being awoken to the devastation that had been wrought on the lives on Native Americans - and we were being called to action. What I saw there never left me - and gave me a passion to redress the wrongs faced by Native Americans.=A0 I saw inadequate housing, children without real education, men and women without hope.=A0 But I also saw a people committed to a better life and proud of their noble heritage. And I have fought alongside you ever since. I do believe past is prologue.=A0 That's why I am proud of my record in the Senate on behalf of Native Americans and others in our society who have never gotten a fair shake.=A0 And I will do everything I can as President to build on that record. Sadly, few Native Americans remain in my home state of Massachusetts, but I have spent my time and energy on issues of concern to you because it is the right thing to do.=A0 I've helped the Nipmuk tribes of New England to achieve the recognition they need to qualify for federal benefits.=A0 I've co-sponsored legislation giving tribes the authority to issue school improvement bonds.=A0 Legislation giving Native American children dental care under Medicaid and the CHIP program.=A0 And the Native American Small Business Development Act. I want to speak with you about my vision for the future and mycomprehensive agenda for Native Americans.=A0 I am the only candidate with a comprehensive agenda for Native Americans and I look forward to the work we can do together if I am elected President of the United States. Its time this nation lived up to the obligations of its trust relationship.=A0 Again and again, Native Americans are getting the short end of the stick.=A0 The life expectancy for Native Americans is 17 years shorter than it is for other Americans - in large part because of the poor health care being provided by a seriously underfunded Indian Health Service.=A0=20 Fifty-seven percent of Native America fourth graders are reading at levels below the minimum basic achievement levels.=A0 States=A0=A0 sp end $4,000 to $5,000 per mile for road maintenance annually on average, but the federal government spends only $500 per mile for roads in Indian Country.=A0 However, there are many success stories in Indian Country and I want to work with you all as President so that we can hear about more of these successes. We need to strengthen the government-to-government relationship between the federal government and the tribes. I will increase funding for the Indian Health Service.=A0 In the last two years, I've seen the health care system up close and personal.=A0 I've lost both my parents and had an operation myself.=A0 I got the care I needed because you pay for great health care for Senators and Congressmen.=A0 As President, I'm going to give every family that health care because your family's health is just as important as any politicians in Washington. I will build roads and more housing in tribal communities - forty percent of homes in tribal communities are overcrowded and need repairs and we need a President who gets to work on this. I will stimulate economic development and increase loans to Native-owned businesses from the Small Business Administration.=A0 In 1997, there were almost 200,000 Native-owned businesses but with unemployment sky-high we have a long way to go.

Eighth-grade teacher Barbara Potter at Archway School in Oakland sets time aside every year to share the less-often-heard side of the Thanksgiving story. On the one holiday when mainstream America reflects on relations between white settlers and native inhabitants, there is no mention of the violence, disease, smallpox, boarding schools or any struggle, she said. Instead, there are idyllic scenes of Pilgrim-Indian harmony emblazoned on greeting cards, cartoons, coloring books, house decorations and dish towels. Potter says she tries to balance out the myth with a grain of truth. On Tuesday, Potter gave her eighth-grade class a history lesson about the origin of the word "thanksgiving." With 13 pairs of eyes fixed on her, Potter opened the National Geographic book titled "1621: A New Look at Thanksgiving," and relayed the following: In July 1637, 16 years after the Pilgrims shared a feast with members of the Wampanoag tribe, Captain John Mason ordered the burning of the Pequot fort, killing 700 men, women and children. The survivors were then sold into slavery. Mason then declared a day of "thanksgiving to God for subduing the Pequots," Potter read. When she opened the floor for class comments, a few students asked why they had never before been taught about the origin of the word "thanksgiving." Grace Anderson, 14, sat back with crossed arms as she shared her soft-spoken response: "I think it's really awful what happened to the people when the Europeans came," she said. "But it's almost more awful how it's still being covered up, and most kids don't know the real story." Potter knows the story may shock and disturb some students. But she says the history lesson also teaches her kids to question everything they are told and to check sources. But the irony of "Thanksgiving" for some native people is that in indigenous culture, thanksgiving is every day, said Bill "Jimbo" Simmons, an organizer of the 26-year-old Thanksgiving sunrise ceremony on Alcatraz Island. But all of America joins them in this ritual now, said Simmons, of the Choctaw tribe, who now lives in San Francisco. But while the Alcatraz gathering is a thanking to the creator for air, water, plants, animals and all life, the event also takes stock of everything native people have to be unthankful for. "All the promises the government gave to us, they broke from Day 1. We're thankful every day, so what makes this day different is America calls it Thanksgiving," he said. "After what was done to our people and other people in the world, they use this day to say it's a holy day. But we are here to remember what we have to be unthankful about -- the hundreds of thousands of acres of land that were stolen, the economic and social conditions faced on reservations." But by no means is there a Native American consensus on how to interpret Thanksgiving -- responses are as diverse as the tribes, traditions and languages found throughout native America. Many like Jeanie Ramos of the Yurok tribe celebrate the holiday like most of America, with lots of family, friends, turkey and all the trimmings -- although some years, she said, her family has opted for tri-tip or fresh deer meat. She appreciates that the holiday recognizes the contributions of the Indians to the white man, instead of vice versa. But Ramos, who lives in Brentwood, adds that she is glad that the Europeans came. As a born-again Christian, she says she has benefited from the European arrival. "The Pilgrims came here because of religious persecution, and I see myself all these centuries later benefiting from the coming of Christianity to America," she said. "I don't approve of the methods used by missionaries of various religions, but being Christian has made a difference in my life." Others such as Larry Swimmer, a Lakota father of eight who lives in Hayward, see Thanksgiving as an opportunity to feast, drum, sing, and most importantly laugh with family and friends. And Swimmer said that although the story told on Thanksgiving is mythical, it holds a worthwhile message. "In the mythical celebration of sharing the bounty with Pilgrims, we recognize they were guests in our land, and from a spiritual standpoint sharing and helping each other is something we should always aspire to do," he said. "We are here for a short time, and we should learn to enjoy to appreciate each other as human beings, not because we're white or native but for the specific unique qualities each human being has. It's the protocol for respect." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 23:47:12 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Diabetes (taditional health) http://www.bismarcktribune.com/articles/2004/06/02/news/life/lif01.prt 6/3/04 Looking to the old ways By KAREN HERZOG, Bismarck Tribune (This is the first of two parts on American Indian food and culture. The second part runs next Wednesday.) "The Great Spirit gave us plenty of land to live on, and buffalo, deer, antelope and other game. But you have come here; you are taking my land from me; you are killing off our game, so it is hard for us to live ... and again you say, why do you not become civilised? We do not want your civilisation! We would live as our fathers did, and their fathers before them." -- Crazy Horse, Lakota warrior and leader. "We used to be some of the fittest and strongest people, until we were stripped of our heritage, which is living off the land," said Shelbert Chasing Crow, a student at United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck and a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux. "We need to get back to how we used to live," he said. Chasing Crow was a student in the "Diabetes and Mother Earth" class at UTTC taught by Wanda Agnew, a licensed registered dietitian and director and instructor of UTTC's nutrition and food service program. For their final class project this spring, students reported on interviews they conducted with American Indian elders about "the old ways" of hunting, fishing and gardening. On the last day of class, Agnew asked her students -- "how many of you have been directly impacted in your family by diabetes?" Scanning the raised hands, she noted, "100 percent," the same as her other classes. In North Dakota, American Indians develop type 2 (or "adult onset") diabetes at triple the rate of the rest of the state's population, said Sherri Paxon, director of the division for chronic disease at the North Dakota State Health Department. Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death among American Indians, and a strong contributor to the number one killer -- heart disease. Diabetics also can develop neuropathy -- nerve damage -- leading to blindness or amputation, Agnew said. The rate of gestational diabetes, which sets on in pregnancy and usually goes away after delivery, also is significantly higher in American Indian mothers than in white mothers, studies say. Agnew's class aims to educate students about diabetes so they can take that knowledge home to their families. Diabetes' high rate among American Indians probably has several causes, Paxon said, but studies point to a fast, and drastic, change of diet in the past 100 years, Paxon said. Before Europeans came, native people lived on lean meats such as buffalo, game, birds and fish, traditional garden vegetables, including corn, squash, beans, sunflowers and natural-growing fruits and berries. They lived active lives -- hunting, gathering and gardening. "The Native Americans are hit harder and faster than the rest of us (by diabetes) because they are only two generations away from the 'old way' based on game animals and fish," said student Dawn Lambert as part of her report. Lambert's aunt, Carol Ann Schroeder, of Havre, Mont., told her that these active hunters and gardeners, confined on reservations, subsisted on government commodity foods, high in salt and carbohydrates. Some of the elders interviewed blame those commodities for the prevalence of diseases such as diabetes. Though commodities actually were offered by the government as "a very weak apology" for the havoc wreaked on the Indian way of life, Agnew said, the foods weren't the traditional healthy ones tribes had lived on for thousands of years. JoAnn Larvie's aunt, Delores Larson, of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux, told her, "We need to ... bring our gardens back, our hunting and fishing." Nursing student Terry Trottier interviewed elders on Standing Rock about health problems. What they brought up most often was the loss of the buffalo, Trottier said: "The grand beast was a way of life for our people, and its demise led to ours." That had much to do with the spread of diabetes "like wildfire on our reservations," he said. "It's time to go back," to the sweat lodge, the sun dance, sobriety, he said. "All chronic diseases have a mental health component," as well, Paxon said. Where poverty is widespread and access to medical care is difficult, depression and fatalism spread. People may just give up, she said. Education is key in breaking the cycle, Paxon said. Even if people develop type 2 diabetes, the later they get it, the less damage it will do to their bodies. Amputations and dialysis often can be avoided if the condition is caught soon enough, she said. In prediabetics, even a moderate weight loss and an extra 150 minutes of exercise a week may hold back the onset of type 2, Paxon said. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 23:47:54 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Competance (services) NASW Standards for Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice Prepared by the NASW National Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity Approved by the NASW Board of Directors June 23, 2001 © 2001 NASW All rights reserved.

Introduction The Standards for Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice are based on the policy statement Cultural Competence in the Social Work Profession published in Social Work Speaks: NASW Policy Statements (2000) and the NASW Code of Ethics (1997), which charges social workers with the ethical responsibility to be culturally competent. Both were originally adopted by the 1996 NASW Delegate Assembly. NASW "supports and encourages the development of standards for culturally competent social work practice, a definition of expertise, and the advancement of practice models that have relevance for the range of needs and services represented by diverse client populations" (NASW, 2000b, p. 61). The material that follows is the first attempt by the profession to delineate standards for culturally competent social work practice. The United States is constantly undergoing major demographic changes. The 1990 to 2000 population growth was the largest in American history with a dramatic increase in people of color from 20 percent to 25 percent (Perry & Mackum 2001). ThatThose changes alter and increase the diversity confronting social workers daily in their agencies. The complexities associated with cultural diversity in the United States affect all aspects of professional social work practice requiring social workers to strive to deliver culturally competent services to an ever-increasing broad range of clients. The social work profession traditionally has emphasized the importance of the person-in-environment and the dual perspective, the concept that all people are part of two systems: the larger societal system and their immediate environments (Norton, 1978). Social workers using a person-in-environment framework for assessment need to include to varying degrees important cultural factors that have meaning for clients and reflect the culture of the world around them. In the United States, cultural diversity in social work has primarily been associated with race and ethnicity, but diversity is taking on a broader meaning to include the sociocultural experiences of people of different genders, social classes, religious and spiritual beliefs, sexual orientations, ages, and physical and mental abilities. A brief review of the social work literature in the past few years points to the range of potential content areas that require culturally sensitive and culturally competent interventions. These include addressing racial identity formation for people of color as well as for white people; the interrelationship among class, race, ethnicity, and gender; working with low-income families; working with older adults; the importance of religion and spirituality in the lives of clients; the development of gender identity and sexual orientation; immigration, acculturation, and assimilation stresses; biculturalism; working with people with disabilities; empowerment skills; community building; reaching out to new populations of color; and how to train for culturally competent models of practice. Therefore, cultural competence in social work practice implies a heightened consciousness of how clients experience their uniqueness and deal with their differences and similarities within a larger social context. Definitions The NASW Board of Directors, at its June, 2001 meeting, accepted the following definitions of culture, competence, and cultural competence in the practice of social work. These definitions are drawn from the NASW Code of Ethics and Social Work Speaks. CULTURE The word culture is used because it implies the integrated pattern of human behavior that includes thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of a racial, ethnic, religious, or social group. Culture often is referred to as the sum total of ways of being passed on from generation to generation. The term culture includes ways in which people with disabilities or people from various religious backgrounds or people who are gay, lesbian, or transgender experience the world around them. The Preamble to the NASW Code of Ethics begins by stating: The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. And goes on to say, "Social workers are sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice" (NASW, 2000a, p. 1). Second, culture is mentioned in two ethical standards: Value: Social Justice and the Ethical Principle: Social workers challenge social injustice. This means that social workers, social change efforts seek to promote sensitivity to and knowledge about oppression and cultural and ethnic diversity. Value: Dignity and Worth of the Person and the Ethical Principle: Social workers respect the inherent dignity and worth of the person. This value states that social workers treat each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity. COMPETENCE The word competence is used because it implies having the capacity to function effectively within the context of culturally integrated patterns of human behavior defined by the group. In the Code of Ethics competence is discussed in several ways. First as a value of the profession: Value: Competence and the Ethical Principle: Social workers practice within their areas of competence and develop and enhance their professional expertise. This value encourages social workers to continually strive to increase their professional knowledge and skills and to apply them in practice. Social workers should aspire to contribute to the knowledge base of the profession. Second, competence is discussed as an ethical standard: 1.04 Competence (1) Social workers should provide services and represent themselves as competent only within the boundaries of their education, training, license, certification, consultation received, supervised experience, or other relevant professional experience. (2) Social workers should provide services in substantive areas or use intervention techniques or approaches that are new to them only after engaging in appropriate study, training, consultation, and supervision from people who are competent in those interventions or techniques. When generally recognized standards do not exist with respect to an emerging area of practice, social workers should exercise careful judgment and take responsible steps (including appropriate education, research, training, consultation, and supervision) to ensure the competence of their work and to protect clients from harm. Cultural competence is never fully realized, achieved, or completed, but rather cultural competence is a lifelong process for social workers who will always encounter diverse clients and new situations in their practice. Supervisors and workers should have the expectation that cultural competence is an ongoing learning process integral and central to daily supervision. CULTURAL COMPETENCE Cultural competence refers to the process by which individuals and systems respond respectfully and effectively to people of all cultures, languages, classes, races, ethnic backgrounds, religions, and other diversity factors in a manner that recognizes, affirms, and values the worth of individuals, families, and communities and protects and preserves the dignity of each. Cultural competence is a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system or agency or among professionals and enable the system, agency, or professionals to work effectively in cross-cultural situations. Operationally defined, cultural competence is the integration and transformation of knowledge about individuals and groups of people into specific standards, policies, practices, and attitudes used in appropriate cultural settings to increase the quality of services, thereby producing better outcomes (Davis & Donald 1997). Competence in cross-cultural functioning means learning new patterns of behavior and effectively applying them in appropriate settings. Gallegos (1982) provided one of the first conceptualizations of ethnic competence as "a set of procedures and activities to be used in acquiring culturally relevant insights into the problems of minority clients and the means of applying such insights to the development of intervention strategies that are culturally appropriate for these client." (p. 4). This kind of sophisticated cultural competence does not come naturally to any social worker and requires a high level of professionalism and knowledge. There are five essential elements that contribute to a system's ability to become more culturally competent. The system should (1) value diversity, (2) have the capacity for cultural self-assessment, (3) be conscious of the dynamics inherent when cultures interact, (4) institutionalize cultural knowledge, and (5) develop programs and services that reflect an understanding of diversity between and within cultures. These five elements must be manifested in every level of the service delivery system. They should be reflected in attitudes, structures, policies, and services. The specific Ethical Standard for culturally competent social work practice is contained under Section 1. Social workers' ethical responsibilities to clients. 1.05 Cultural Competence and Social Diversity (1) Social workers should understand culture and its functions in human behavior and society, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures. (2) Social workers should have a knowledge base of their clients' cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive to clients' cultures and to differences among people and cultural groups. (3) Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, political belief, religion, and mental or physical disability. Finally, the Code re-emphasizes the importance of cultural competence in the last section of the Code, Section 6. Social Workers Ethical Responsibilities to the Broader Society. 6.04 Social and Political Action Social workers should act to expand choice and opportunity for all people, with special regard for vulnerable, disadvantaged, oppressed, and exploited people and groups. Social workers should promote conditions that encourage respect for cultural and social diversity within the United States and globally. Social workers should promote policies and practices that demonstrate respect for difference, support the expansion of cultural knowledge and resources, advocate for programs and institutions that demonstrate cultural competence, and promote policies that safeguard the rights of and confirm equity and social justice for all people. Social workers should act to prevent and eliminate domination of, exploitation of, and discrimination against any person, group, or class on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, political belief, religion, or mental or physical disability. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STANDARDS These standards address the need for definition, support, and encouragement for the development of a high level of social work practice that encourages cultural competence among all social workers so that they can respond effectively, knowledgeably, sensitively, and skillfully to the diversity inherent in the agencies in which they work and with the clients and communities they serve. These standards intend to move the discussion of cultural competence within social work practice toward the development of clearer guidelines, goals, and objectives for the future of social work practice. The specific goals of the standards are _ to maintain and improve the quality of culturally competent services provided by social workers, and programs delivered by social service agencies _ to establish professional expectations so social workers can monitor and evaluate their culturally competent practice _ to provide a framework for social workers to assess culturally competent practice _ to inform consumers, governmental regulatory bodies, and others, such as insurance carriers, about the profession's standards for culturally competent practice _ to establish specific ethical guidelines for culturally competent social work practice in agency or private practice settings _ to provide documentation of professional expectations for agencies, peer review committees, state regulatory bodies, insurance carriers, and others. STANDARDS FOR CULTURAL COMPETENCE IN SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE Standard 1. Ethics and Values˜Social workers shall function in accordance with the values, ethics, and standards of the profession, recognizing how personal and professional values may conflict with or accommodate the needs of diverse clients. Interpretation A major characteristic of a profession is its ability to establish ethical standards to help professionals identify ethical issues in practice and to guide them in determining what is ethically acceptable and unacceptable behavior (Reamer, 1998). Social work has developed a comprehensive set of ethical standards embodied in the NASW Code of Ethics that "address a wide range of issues, including, for example, social workers' handling of confidential information, sexual contact between social workers and their clients, conflicts of interest, supervision, education and training, and social and political action" (Reamer, 1998, p. 2). The Code includes a mission statement, which sets forth several key elements in social work practice, mainly the social workers' commitment to enhancing human well-being and helping meet basic human needs of all people; client empowerment; service to people who are vulnerable and oppressed; focus on individual well-being in a social context; promotion of social justice and social change; and sensitivity to cultural and ethnic diversity. Social workers clearly have an ethical responsibility to be culturally competent practitioners. The Code recognizes that culture and ethnicity may influence how individuals cope with problems and interact with each other. What is behaviorally appropriate in one culture may seem abnormal in another. Accepted practice in one culture may be prohibited in another. To fully understand and appreciate these differences, social workers must be familiar with varying cultural traditions and norms. Clients, cultural background may affect their help-seeking behaviors as well. The ways in which social services are planned and implemented need to be culturally sensitive to be culturally effective. Cultural competence builds on the profession's valued stance on self-determination and individual dignity and worth, adding inclusion, tolerance, and respect for diversity in all its forms. Cultural competence requires social workers to recognize the strengths that exist in all cultures. Cultural competence also requires social workers to struggle with ethical dilemmas arising from value conflicts or special needs of diverse clients. For example, helping clients enroll in mandate	IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com	10/23/2004
Digest for IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com, issue 386 <part #2>	d training or mental health services that are culturally insensitive, or lack of informed consent when a client group's immigration status or language barriers are ignored in service planning. It requires social workers to struggle with ethical dilemmas arising from value conflicts or special needs of diverse clients such as helping clients enroll in mandated training or mental health services that are culturally insensitive. Cultural competence requires social workers to recognize the strengths that exist in all cultures. This does not imply a universal nor automatic acceptance of all practices of all cultures. For example, some cultures subjugate women, oppress persons based on sexual orientation, and value the use of corporal punishment and the death penalty. Cultural competence in social work practice must be informed by and applied within the context of NASW's Code of Ethics and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights Standard 2. Self-Awareness˜Social workers shall develop an understanding of their own personal and cultural values and beliefs as a first step in appreciating the importance of multicultural identities in the lives of people. Interpretation Cultural competence requires social workers to examine their own cultural backgrounds and identities to increase awareness of personal assumptions, values, and biases. The workers' self-awareness of their own cultural identities is as fundamental to practice as the informed assumptions about clients' cultural backgrounds and experiences in the United States. This awareness of personal values, beliefs, and biases inform their practice and influence relationships with clients. Cultural competence includes knowing and acknowledging how fears, ignorance, and the "isms" (racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, heterosexism, ageism, classism) have influenced their attitudes, beliefs, and feelings. Social workers need to be able to move from being culturally aware of their own heritage to becoming culturally aware of the heritage of others. They can value and celebrate differences in others rather than maintain an ethnocentric stance and can demonstrate comfort with differences between themselves and others. They have an awareness of personal and professional limitations that may warrant the referral of a client to another social worker or agency that can best meet the clients' needs. Self-awareness also helps in understanding the process of cultural identity formation and helps guard against stereotyping. As one develops the diversity within one,s own group, one can be more open to the diversity within other groups. Cultural competence also requires social workers to appreciate how workers need to move from cultural awareness to cultural sensitivity before achieving cultural competence, and to evaluate growth and development throughout these different levels of cultural competence in practice. Self-awareness becomes the basis for professional development and should be supported by supervision and agency administration. Agency administrators and public policy advocates also need to develop strategies to reduce their own biases and expand their self-awareness. Standard 3. Cross-Cultural Knowledge˜Social workers shall have and continue to develop specialized knowledge and understanding about the history, traditions, values, family systems, and artistic expressions of major client groups served. Interpretation Cultural competence is not static and requires frequent relearning and unlearning about diversity. Social workers need to take every opportunity to expand their cultural knowledge and expertise by expanding their understanding of the following areas: "the impact of culture on behavior, attitudes, and values; the help-seeking behaviors of diverse client groups; the role of language, speech patterns, and communication styles of various client groups in the communities served; the impact of social service policies on various client groups; the resources (agencies, people, informal helping networks, and research) that can be used on behalf of diverse client groups; the ways that professional values may conflict with or accommodate the needs of diverse client groups; and the power relationships in the community, agencies, or institutions and their impact on diverse client groups" (Gallegos, pp. 7-8). Social workers need to possess specific knowledge about the particular providers and client groups they work with, including the range of historical experiences, resettlement patterns, individual and group oppression, adjustment styles, socioeconomic backgrounds, life processes, learning styles, cognitive skills, worldviews and specific cultural customs and practices, their definition of and beliefs about the causation of wellness and illness, or normality and abnormality, and how care and services should be delivered. They also must seek specialized knowledge about U.S. social, cultural, and political systems, how they operate, and how they serve or fail to serve specific client groups. This includes knowledge of institutional, class, culture, and language barriers that prevent diverse client group members from using services. Cultural competence requires explicit knowledge of traditional theories and principles concerning such areas as human behavior, life cycle development, problem-solving skills, prevention, and rehabilitation. Social workers need the critical skill of asking the right questions, being comfortable with discussing cultural differences, and asking clients about what works for them and what is comfortable for them in these discussions. Furthermore, culturally competent social workers need to know the limitations and strengths of current theories, processes and practice models, and which have specific applicability and relevance to the service needs of culturally diverse client groups. Standard 4. Cross-Cultural Skills˜Social workers shall use appropriate methodological approaches, skills, and techniques that reflect the workers' understanding of the role of culture in the helping process. Interpretation The personal attributes of a culturally competent social worker include qualities that reflect genuineness, empathy, and warmth; the capacity to respond flexibly to a range of possible solutions; an acceptance of and openness to differences among people; a willingness to learn to work with clients of different backgrounds; an articulation and clarification of stereotypes and biases and how these may accommodate or conflict with the needs of diverse client groups; and personal commitment to alleviate racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, and poverty. These attributes are important to the direct practitioner and to the agency administrator. More specifically, social workers should have the skills to work with a wide range of people who are culturally different or similar to themselves, and establish avenues for learning about the cultures of these clients assess the meaning of culture for individual clients and client groups, encourage open discussion of differences, and respond to culturally biased cues master interviewing techniques that reflect an understanding of the role of language in the client,s culture conduct a comprehensive assessment of client systems in which cultural norms and behaviors are evaluated as strengths and differentiated from problematic or symptomatic behaviors _ integrate the information gained from a culturally competent assessment into culturally appropriate intervention plans and involve clients and respect their choices in developing goals for service _ select and develop appropriate methods, skills, and techniques that are attuned to their clients' cultural, bicultural, or marginal experiences in their environments _ generate a wide variety of verbal and nonverbal communication skills in response to direct and indirect communication styles of diverse clients _ understand the interaction of the cultural systems of the social worker, the client, the particular agency setting, and the broader immediate community _ effectively use the clients' natural support system in resolving problems˜for example, folk healers, storefronts, religious and spiritual leaders, families of creation, and other community resources demonstrate advocacy and empowerment skills in work with clients, recognizing and combating the "isms", stereotypes, and myths held by individuals and institutions identify service delivery systems or models that are appropriate to the targeted client population and make appropriate referrals when indicated consult with supervisors and colleagues for feedback and monitoring of performance and identify features of their own professional style that impede or enhance their culturally competent practice evaluate the validity and applicability of new techniques, research, and knowledge for work with diverse client groups. Standard 5. Service Delivery˜˜Social workers shall be knowledgeable about and skillful in the use of services available in the community and broader society and be able to make appropriate referrals for their diverse clients. Interpretation Agencies and professional social work organizations need to promote cultural competence by supporting the evaluation of culturally competent service delivery models and setting standards for cultural competence within these settings. Culturally competent social workers need to be aware of and vigilant about the dynamics that result from cultural differences and similarities between workers and clients. This includes monitoring cultural competence among social workers (agency evaluations, supervision, in-service training, and feedback from clients). Social workers need to detect and prevent exclusion of diverse clients from service opportunities and seek to create opportunities for clients, matching their needs with culturally competent service delivery systems or adapting services to better meet the culturally unique needs of clients. Furthermore, they need to foster policies and procedures that help ensure access to care that accommodates varying cultural beliefs. For direct practitioners, policymakers, or administrators, this specifically involves _ actively recruiting multiethnic staff and including cultural competence requirements in job descriptions and performance and promotion measures _ reviewing the current and emergent demographic trends for the geographic area served by the agency to determine service needs for the provision of interpretation and translation services creating service delivery systems or models that are more appropriate to the targeted client populations or advocating for the creation of such services including participation by clients as major stakeholders in the development of service delivery systems ensuring that program decor and design is reflective of the cultural heritage of clients and families using the service attending to social issues (for example, housing, education, police, and social justice) that concern clients of diverse backgrounds not accepting staff remarks that insult or demean clients and their culture supporting the inclusion of cultural competence standards in accreditation bodies and organizational policies as well as in licensing and certification examinations developing staffing plans that reflect the organization and the targeted client population (for example, hiring, position descriptions, performance evaluations, training) developing performance measures to assess culturally competent practice including participation of client groups in the development of research and treatment protocols. Standard 6. Empowerment and Advocacy˜Social workers shall be aware of the effect of social policies and programs on diverse client populations, advocating for and with clients whenever appropriate. Interpretation Culturally competent social workers are keenly aware of the deleterious effects of racism, sexism, ageism, heterosexism or homophobia, anti-Semitism, ethnocentrism, classism, and xenophobia on clients' lives and the need for social advocacy and social action to better empower diverse clients and communities. As first defined by Solomon (1976), empowerment involves facilitating the clients' connection with their own power and, in turn, being empowered by the very act of reaching across cultural barriers. Empowerment refers to the person,s ability to do for themselves while advocacy implies doing for the client. Even in the act of advocacy, social workers must be careful not to impose their values on clients and must seek to understand what clients mean by advocacy. Respectful collaboration needs to take place to promote mutually agreed-on goals for change. Social workers need a range of skills and abilities to advocate for and with clients against the underlying devaluation of cultural experiences related to difference and oppression, and power and privilege in the United States. The empowerment tradition in social work practice suggests a promotion of the combined goals of consciousness raising, developing a sense of personal power, and skills while working toward social change. Best practice views this as a process and outcome of the empowerment perspective (Gutiérrez, 1990; Simon, 1994). Social workers using this standard will apply an ecosystems perspective and a strengths orientation in practice. This means that workers consider client situations as they describe needs in terms of transitory challenges rather than fixed problems. According to Gutiérrez and Lewis (1999), empowerment is a model for practice, a perspective and a set of skills and techniques. The expectation is that culturally competent social workers reflect these values in their practice. Standard 7. Diverse Workforce˜Social workers shall support and advocate for recruitment, admissions and hiring, and retention efforts in social work programs and agencies that ensure diversity within the profession. Interpretation Increasing cultural competence within the profession requires demonstrated efforts to recruit and retain a diverse cadre of social workers, many of whom would bring some "indigenous" cultural competence to the profession as well as demonstrated efforts to increase avenues for the acquisition of culturally competent skills by all social workers. Diversity should be represented at all levels of the organization, and not just among direct practitioners. The social work profession has espoused a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and affirmative action. However, available statistics indicate that in the United States social workers are predominantly white (88.5 percent) and female (78.0 percent). The proportion of people of color has remained relatively stable in the social work membership of the National Association of Social Workers over a period of several years: 5.3 percent identify themselves as African American; Hispanics, including Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and other Hispanic groups constitute about 2.8 percent of the membership; Asians and Pacific Islanders 1.7 percent; and American Indians/First Nations People 0.5 percent (Gibelman & Schervish, 1997). Social work client populations are more diverse than the social work profession itself. In many instances, service to clients is targeted to marginalized communities and special populations, groups that typically include disproportionately high numbers of people of color, elderly people, people with disabilities, and clients of lower socioeconomic status. Matching workforce to client populations can be an effective strategy for bridging cultural differences between social worker and client, although it cannot be the only strategy. The assumption is that individuals of similar backgrounds can understand each other better and communicate more effectively (Jackson & López, 1999). Yet an equally compelling fact is that "the majority of clinicians from the mainstream dominant culture will routinely provide care for large numbers of patients of diverse ethnic and/or cultural backgrounds increasing the numbers of culturally diverse social workers is not sufficient. Even these professionals will need to be able to provide care for patients who are not like themselves" (Jackson & Lopez, 1999, p. 8). In addition, culturally competent social workers who bring a special skill or knowledge to the profession, like bicultural and bilingual skills, or Ameerican Sign Language (ASL) skills, are entitled to professional equity and should not be exploited for their expertise but should be appropriately compensated for skills that enhance the delivery of services to clients. Standard 8. Professional Education˜Social workers shall advocate for and participate in educational and training programs that help advance cultural competence within the profession. Interpretation Cultural competence is a vital link between the theoretical and practice knowledge base that defines social work expertise. Social work is a practice-oriented profession, and social work education and training need to keep up with and stay ahead of changes in professional practice, which includes the changing needs of diverse client populations. Diversity needs to be addressed in social work curricula and needs to be viewed as central to faculty and staff appointments and research agendas. The social work profession should be encouraged to take steps to ensure cultural competence as an integral part of social work education, training and practice, and to increase research and scholarship on culturally competent practice among social work professionals. This includes undergraduate, master,s and doctoral programs in social work as well as post-master,s training, continuing education, and meetings of the profession. Social agencies should be encouraged to provide culturally competent in-service training and opportunities for continuing education for agency-based workers. NASW should contribute to the ongoing education and training needs for all social workers, with particular emphasis on promoting culturally competent practice in continuing education offerings in terms of content, faculty, and auspice. In addition, the NASW Code of Ethics clearly states, "Social workers who provide supervision and consultation are responsible for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries." This highlights the importance of providing culturally sensitive supervision and field instruction, as well as the pivotal role of supervisors and field instructors in promoting culturally competent practice among workers and students. Standard 9. Language Diversity˜Social workers shall seek to provide and advocate for the provision of information, referrals, and services in the language appropriate to the client, which may include the use of interpreters. Interpretation Social workers should accept the individual person in his or her totality and ensure access to needed services. Language is a source and an extension of personal identity and culture and therefore, is one way individuals interact with others in their families and communities and across different cultural groups. Individuals and groups have a right to use their language in their individual and communal life. Language diversity is a resource for society, and linguistic diversity should be preserved and promoted. The essence of the social work profession is to promote social justice and eliminate discrimination and oppression based on linguistic or other diversities. Title IVVI of the Civil Rights Act clarifies the obligation of agencies and service providers to not discriminate or have methods of administering services that may subject individuals to discrimination. Agencies and providers of services are expected to take reasonable steps to provide services and information in appropriate language other than English to ensure that people with limited English proficiency are effectively informed and can effectively participate in and benefit from its programs. It is the responsibility of social services agencies and social workers to provide clients services in the language of their choice or to seek the assistance of qualified language interpreters. Social workers need to communicate respectfully and effectively with clients from different ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds; this might include knowing the client,s language. The use of language translation should be done by trained professional interpreters (for example, certified or registered sign language interpreters). Interpreters generally need proficiency in both English and the other language, as well as orientation and training. Social agencies and social workers have a responsibility to use language interpreters when necessary, and to make certain that interpreters do not breach confidentiality, create barriers to clients when revealing personal information that is critical to their situation, are properly trained and oriented to the ethics of interpreting in a helping situation, and have fundamental knowledge of specialized terms and concepts specific to the agency's programs or activities. Standard 10. Cross-Cultural Leadership˜Social workers shall be able to communicate information about diverse client groups to other professionals. Interpretation Social work is the appropriate profession to take a leadership role not only in disseminating knowledge about diverse client groups, but also in actively advocating for fair and equitable treatment of all clients served. This role should extend within and outside the profession. Guided by the NASW Code of Ethics, social work leadership is the communication of vision to create proactive processes that empower individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Diversity skills, defined as sensitivity to diversity, multicultural leadership, acceptance and tolerance, cultural competence, and tolerance of ambiguity, constitute one of the core leadership skills for successful leadership (Rank & Hutchison, 2000). Social workers should come forth to assume leadership in empowering diverse client populations, to share information about diverse populations to the general public, and to advocate for their clients, concerns at interpersonal and institutional levels, locally, nationally, and internationally. With the establishment of standards for cultural competence in social work practice, there is an equally important need for the profession to provide ongoing training in cultural competence and to establish mechanisms for the evaluation of competence-based practice. As the social work profession develops cultural competencies, then the profession must have the ability to measure those competencies. The development of outcome measures need to go hand in hand with the development of these standards. Note: These standards build on and adhere to other standards of social work practice established by NASW, including, but not limited to, NASW Standards for the Classification of Social Work Practice, Standards for the Practice of Clinical Social Work, Standards for Social Work Case Management, Standards for Social Work Practice in Child Protection, Standards for School Social Work Services, Standards for Social Work in Health Care Settings, Standards for Social Work Personnel Practices, and Standards for Social Work Services in Long-Term Care Facilities. A single copy of these standards is available free of charge. To obtain a copy call 1-800-638-8799 Extension 532 or visit the NASW Web site to view the standards online.

"Besides all the other things that we have like choosing presidents and congressmen and state and municipal government (leaders), there are four constitutional amendments, 12 initiatives and one referendum," Haynes said. "We have today the ability to hear from informed people to help us construct our own responses." One of the most heated debates this campaign season involves tribal gambling. Tribal leaders recently asked Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to apologize for a comment he made last week while in San Diego, in which he told a lunchtime crowd in Old Town that: "The Indians are ripping us off." <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2168> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Native Voice aims to get out the vote There were a number of financial contributors to the special edition, which will go to reservations and to urban areas, such as North Rapid, with substantial Indian populations.

I=92ve encountered wonderful Indigenous theater= companies, writers, directors, actors and more, from Greenland to Mexico to= the Pacific, yet I=92ve been frustrated that there seem to be no places= where such great talent is showcased, at least not in the United States or= Mexico.=20 It seems to be much easier to read (or write) a dissertation on American= Indian women playwrights, for instance, than to see their works performed,= much easier to convene a panel of literary scholars to discuss Indigenous= playwrights than to actually experience their voices and visions.=20 I know there are excellent readers=92 theaters for Indigenous playwrights in= Los Angeles and elsewhere, but I just haven=92t heard of a festival or= venue that would 1. create an annual showcase for the best North America/Pacific Indigenous= theater, modern dance, and other performing arts, in Native languages and= National languages, including, but not limited to theater, contemporary= dance, dance-drama, story dance, masked theater, theatrical storytelling,= puppet-based theater, etc.=20 2. provide opportunities for participants to develop their theater skills= and insight and achieve professionalism;=20 3. improve the quality of North America/Pacific Indigenous performing arts;= =20 4. educate the national and international publics to the diversity and= excellence of North America/Pacific Indigenous native theater, modern= dance, and other performing arts;=20 5. enable audiences to learn from Indigenous playwrights, authors, actors,= directors and others--on their own terms and in their own voices;=20 6. bring Indigenous performing artist, writers, directors, etc, together so= that they can learn from each other and overcome some of the isolation in= which many of these artists work Is this accurate, or just a lack of information on my part?=20 It seems to me that the present lack of such a festival has had important= and negative ramifications:=20 1. Non-Indigenous peoples have had very limited opportunities to experience= authentic Indigenous contemporary performances and visual arts experiences= =20 2. Public and scholarly audiences interested in experiencing, exploring and= comparing contemporary Indigenous theater, dance and music have been= restricted by funding and geography=20 3. Indigenous theater, music and dance have all too often been limited to= comparatively small and local audiences=20 4. Misinformation about Indigenous peoples has often prevailed in the= majority culture in many lands, due to distortions of commercial media,= isolation of Indigenous communities, stereotypes, and the inability of= urban residents to access Indigenous communities. Would such a festival or event be worthwhile and valuable to the Indigenous= performance community and to Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences? Would= it be fundable? Frankly, I would love to see something like the Sundance= Festival=97an annual event of which people would say, if you want to= experience the best Indigenous theater and modern dance, well, you just= HAVE to go to X.=20 Admittedly, I=92m not Indigenous but I=92ve had the pleasure and privilege= of experiencing some of the best and most passionate people around and= would be delighted and honored to begin working to make such a festival,= venue or event happen, if people thought it would be worthwhile.=20 I would greatly appreciate your comments and input.=20 Thank you for hearing me out.

There are about 45,000 Inuit living in 53 communities= across the Arctic in four regions, from east to west- Labrador, northern= Quebec, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. Kusugak is the president of= a national organization that speaks out for the Inuit. The organization is= called Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami because tapiriit means =91are united=92= while Kanatami means =91in Canada=92. He said even though Inuit are= taxpayers, their biggest beef is that annual income tax forms are available= in the two official languages, not in their mother tongue. To cope with= that, one of the Inuit regions has developed a kind of H&R Block to explain= taxation issues in Inuktitut.=94] [3] Saltspring Islanders Rally Against Fish Farm: Sablefish Farm Has Disturbed= Native Burial Site,=94 Suzanne Fournier, The Vancouver Province, October= 20, 2004. Copyright 2004 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest Global= Communications Corp., All Rights Reserved. [=93A controversial sablefish hatchery on Saltspring Island has run afoul of= a united front of opponents. Sablefin Hatcheries Ltd., the first major= hatchery of its kind in B.C., has drawn the ire of residents, the= $25-million-a-year wild sablefish industry and natives who are furious= their ancestors' bones have been dug up. =91We're calling on the provincial= government to immediately force Sablefin to cease operations because we= have serious concerns about the effect on three very rare ecosystems in= this area,=92 said Suzanne Connell of the Georgia Strait Alliance, a marine= conservation group speaking for about 50 environmental, labour and= recreational groups. The alliance says it is an =91ecological abomination= =92 to pipe hatchery effluent through an ancient native burial ground,= filter it into a rare sandy feature known as a tombolo and then discharge= what remains into the ocean. The Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group, representing= the Penelakut, Cowichan, Chemainus, Halalt and Lyackson peoples in the= southern Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island, has told the B.C. government it= is horrified that the hatchery's pipes and wells have disrupted a burial= site of an estimated 1,000 people and already dislodged 13 remains.= Penelakut elder August Sylvester, who saw hatchery bulldozers digging up= human remains, said the site is an ancient Coast Salish village known as= Syuhe'mun, with a huge midden containing human burials. =91I am outraged= that the digging did not stop once human remains were unearthed,=92= Sylvester said in an affidavit to the Environmental Appeal Board, which= held lengthy hearings last March but has yet to hand down a decision.=94] [4] Local Artist's Work Included In Smithsonian Museum,=94 Helen Rosen, Sarasota= Herald-Tribune, October 20, 2004.

Marching along= with some 200 members of Florida's Seminole Tribe in full regalia was= artist Guy LaBree of Arcadia. He and his wife Pat were invited to travel= with Mitchell Cypress, a tribal chief, on the Seminoles' jet to participate= in the festivities and view two of LaBree's paintings on display in the= museum. =91We were so proud to be there,=92 said Pat LaBree. =91People I've= known for years finally received the recognition they deserved.=92 Drawing= upon the stories told to him by his friends and their parents, LaBree has= created a body of work that focuses on the history and folklore of the= Seminole and Mikasuki tribes. The two pieces in the museum are =91Genesis= =92 and =91Exodus,=92 depicting the Seminole story of creation. =91Like many= of the tales that are the basis of my paintings, this one was told to me by= a tribal medicine man,=92 said LaBree. In the first, the creator is shown= planting what appears to be seeds or eggs along with a small tree. The= second picture shows the tree grown large and as the eggs break open, human= figures of all colors emerge. Many of the paintings in the artist's rural= home are realistic representations of Florida wildlife as well as the= legends he learned as a child. LaBree became acquainted with them when he= played with the Native American students in his elementary school class in= Dania.=94] [5] Tribal Health Clinic To Open In '05,=94 Brandon Sprague, The Seattle Times,= October 20, 2004. Copyright 2004 The Seattle Times Company, All Rights= Reserved. [=93Arlington- The Stillaguamish center will treat mental health and= chemical dependency. The Stillaguamish Tribe's new health clinic, due to= open in January, will offer a blend of traditional and alternative= treatments for mental health and chemical dependency, including acupuncture= and massage therapy. Thomas Ashley, the tribe's director of social and= health services, said the 3,000-square-foot Arlington clinic, 4126 172nd= St. N.E., will devote one wing to mental health. Ashley said he had the= idea for the clinic two years ago after he discovered that many tribal= members had difficulty getting mental- health treatment. A second wing will= be for treating dependency on alcohol, methamphetamine, marijuana and other= substances. The tribe's outpatient chemical-dependency program, at the= tribe's medical clinic near Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington, will be= moved to the clinic. Ashley said patients often need both= chemical-dependency and mental-health treatment, so he is planning to house= the services under one roof. =91These services can work together, but they= also can be separate and distinct,=92 Ashley said. He said he will add= about six new staff members to run the clinic, including a mental-health= clinician, an acupuncturist and a massage therapist. Ashley said= acupuncture is an important tool to combating tobacco-addiction withdrawal.= Massage therapy will be used to promote healthful living and stress= reduction, he said. The clinic will be able to serve up to 300 people. The= Stillaguamish Tribe, which has about 240 members, is one of the few tribes= to open facilities to nonmembers, Ashley said.=94] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -= - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN= staff.

To honor Native language authors,= Native language writers have been invited to participate in a week-long= festival. Writers will read from their works in their own languages;= National language translations will be made available to the audience at= the option of each writer. A special effort has been made to include and= honor high school and college authors in Native languages, for they are the= future of languages. Selected writers represent as broad a range of= languages and styles as possible. The festival is scheduled for July 2005.= =20 Over 500 Native Nations, each with its own language and culture. These are= the Nations which were encountered by the first Europeans to enter North= America. Yet now Native languages are under threat everywhere, due to= Euro-American educational policies, disease, and the virtual omnipresence= of English language television. Some languages are extinct--from Guale to= Esalen, from Eyak to Timucuan. Others are only spoken by a handful of= elderly individuals.=20 Yet throughout Native America and beyond, a small but growing body of= writers are giving new voice to Native languages, using their own languages= to write about and confront the world they live in, the world of the Twenty= First Century. Often unknown outside their own communities, such writers= have much to say to all of us.=20 Right now, participants include=20 1. Greenland--Jokum Nielsen (Kalaallisut [Greenlandic])=20 2.

I would like to say that I was at the banquet and considered the speaker's comments offensive and inexcusable. But I hope that no one has blamed Paul Hutton or the WHA officers for his comments. Certainly, we all expected better of the speaker, and it is no one's fault but his own that he chose to say what he said. As a member of the Local Arrangements Committee, I hope that that was the only real problem in what was, I think, an otherwise fantastic conference; I certainly enjoyed it, and have almost recovered. All of us hope that you enjoyed visiting Las Vegas, and we look forward to Scottsdale in 2005 (and a different local arrangements committee, which will always have my sympathy in the future). Take care.

So far as I know, complete sets of the newsletter are rare. Most libraries, seeing the word "newsletter" on something, discard back issues. I complained about this years ago in one of the newsletters, but was told by someone in one of the divisions of the Library of Congress that up to that time, at least, they had maintained a complete file. I think it may have been Howard Cline who wrote (at age 73, my memory ain't what it used to be -- not that it was ever all that great to begin with). Hope that Dale is able to fill out your set.

As part of my assignment, I will placing this paper along with other information on a website. My interest in this assignment has revealed the lack of websites or collective information on the subject in an archive format. There are other U.S. history archives, but with very little links provided for Navajos other than, Traders: Voices of the Trading Post ( I love this website, its rich). What lacks in this website is more of the Navajo voice( I know that was not the focus of the site). I do hope I can connect with faculty on this issue, perhaps even including any suggestions or other links onto my project, which will be finished in mid-December. H-AmIndian was referred to me by my professor. Thank you for your time!

This is particularly true for me personally since I selected the speaker once our original choice (Scott Momaday) was not available. Neither President Engstrand, nor the members of the council nor the local arrangements committee, were involved in this late-hour substitution. I suggested potential topics to the speaker, as I have done almost every year, and it seemed inconceivable that he would engage in such offensive and totally insensitive attempts at humor. I apologize to all who were in attendance and to all officers and members of the association.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent rhetoric against a tribal-backed gambling measure on the November ballot. Anthony Pico, chairman of San Diego County's Viejas band and one of the state's most influential tribal leaders, said he was "deeply hurt" by the governor's pointed jab at a recent San Diego event, where he said "the Indians are ripping us off." The state's dominant tribal gaming lobby demanded an apology, noting that gambling tribes share their wealth with less fortunate tribes, the state, local governments and charities. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2154> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Tribes bristle at Schwarzenegger's campaign rhetoric Pico, who publicly embraced Schwarzenegger in June when Viejas signed a new gambling agreement with the state, said he was jarred by the governor's swipe after his tribe and four others agreed to increase payments to the state and finance a $1 billion bond. "I am just deeply, deeply hurt," Pico said. "We made the governor look pretty damn good in my opinion, finding a way to come up with $1 billion up front ... like basically he came into the Indian camp and got what he needed for the state and walked out. "Then, to turn around and say that we're ripping off the state ... it doesn't serve any purpose. We're almost at the end of the campaign.

["SIOUX FALLS, S.D.: Descendants of the storied American Indian warrior= Crazy Horse want an upscale Paris strip club to stop using his name, saying= it's disrespectful to him and his family. The nightclub, Crazy Horse= Paris, was established in 1951 and is well-known for adult entertainment= similar to that featured at casinos in Las Vegas. It's located near the= Champs-Elysees, the Seine River and the Pont de l'Alma bridge, where= Princess Diana was killed. Crazy Horse was an Oglala Sioux warrior known= for fighting the U.S. military in the 1800s. One of his descendants and an= executor of his estate, Harvey White Woman, has written club owners, asking= that they change the name. He said the request was prompted by an HBO cable= television special that featured the club and its dancers wearing what= looked to be feathered headdresses, a revered native symbol. 'I saw the= name and I said, 'That's not right.' When you say the name Crazy Horse, you= don't conjure up nightclubs. You conjure up the warrior,' he said in a= telephone interview from his home in Kyle on the Pine Ridge Indian= Reservation.

Copyright 2004 Canada NewsWire Ltd., All Rights Reserved. [ìThe First Nations Education Council (FNEC), an organization whose strength is drawn from the desire of all First Nations in Quebec to work together to offer every First Nations child a quality education, will hold its Second Conference on Aboriginal Languages from October 24 to 26, 2004, at the Manoir du Mont Saint-Sauveur. There are about 6000 languages spoken in the world, half of which may become extinct. Only 3 of Canada's 50 Aboriginal languages (Cree, Inuktitut and Ojibway) have a big enough basin of speakers to not be considered at risk. At least 12 languages are in danger of disappearing and 10 have completely died out over the last century. ëGiven that a language is vital for the cultural survival of Aboriginal peoples, concerted efforts have already been made worldwide to breathe new life into languages at risk, primarily by focusing on language preservation activities, recording the speech of elders and implementing special community-based programs. There is an urgent need for developing concrete measures and taking action so that our people do not simply become a footnote of history,í said Ghislain Picard, Regional Chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador (AFNQL) and speaker for the event. In addition to allowing conference participants to gain a better understanding of the situation Aboriginal languages face nationally and internationally, several language preservation projects will be showcased. The conference will be a forum for participants to discuss the means for saving and reviving Aboriginal languages. ëThe FNEC hopes to end the conference with a list of recommendations and a blueprint for an action plan to ensure we will be able to transmit our languages to future generations,í said Lise Bastien, FNEC Director.î] [2] ìAlberta Aboriginal Ruled Ineligible To Run: Cort Gallup Preparing Appeal Of Decision,î Randy Boswell, Times Colonist, October 18, 2004. Copyright 2004 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest Global Communications Corp., All Rights Reserved. [ìAn Alberta-born Cree vying for a seat in Hawaii's state assembly has been ruled ineligible to run for the Democrats because he's too Canadian-- despite claims by the candidate that his native ancestry gives him dual citizenship under a 1794 treaty between Britain and the U.S. The uproar over Cort Gallup's candidacy has included allegations of fraud by his Republican opponent and a refusal by the state's Supreme Court to disqualify him from the nationwide elections on Nov. 2. Now the clerk of Maui County has decided that Gallup doesn't have enough proof of U.S. citizenship to run for public office or even to vote in that country. But the decision, which is being appealed by Gallup and his legal team, comes too late to have his name removed from the ballot and raises the possibility that he could win the election but be denied a seat in the Hawaiian House of Representatives. ëI'm sad about the ruling but I'm not going to give up the fight,í Gallup, 40, told CanWest News Sunday. ëI'm just going to keep campaigning because I have an election to win. And this has turned into something greater even than just being a state House representative.í Gallup says his battle could become a citizenship test case for hundreds of thousands of native Canadians and Americans living in the border region between the two countries. The case is also being closely watched by Hawaii's own aboriginal community, which is fighting for special rights under state laws and has questioned the legal validity of the U.S. takeover of the islands in the 19th century and their eventual statehood.î] [3] ìHigh Youth Incarceration Rate A Concern,î Anne Kyle, The Leader Post, October 18, 2004. Copyright 2004 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest Global Communications Corp., All Rights Reserved. [ìThe chiefs of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) have directed the federation to be proactive and to take action to address the high number of aboriginal people who are being incarcerated in federal and provincial correctional institutions and youth detention centres. ëWe have to bring the numbers down because there is no such thing as corrections in our jails. Correctional institutes are nothing more than schools for more crime,í said FSIN Vice-Chief Lawrence Joseph in response to the latest Statistics Canada report on youth incarceration rates in Canada. According to the report released last week, Saskatchewan had more young offenders locked up in detention centres than any other province in Canada in 2002-03. The province had the highest rate at 34 per 10,000 youths, while the national average is only 12.5. A provincial official with Corrections and Public Safety said the numbers are coming down as more young people are diverted out of the court system into community based alternative measures, but he also acknowledged that there was an over-representation of aboriginal youth in custody. The high rate of incarceration among First Nations and Metis adults and youth is a reflection of the socio-economic circumstances that put them at risk of offending, said Joseph, noting the federation believes a holistic approach must be taken to help heal these individuals physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Referring to the findings and recommendations of the Commission on First Nations and Metis Peoples and Justice Reform, Joseph said the high incarceration rates demonstrate a need to create a separate justice system run by First Nations that is more responsive to the needs and issues facing First Nations people. There is a need for community based programs that are modeled on First Nations traditions, that focus on prevention and education, and adopt pro-active rather than reactive measures to deal with young people at risk and families that need support, he said. ëWe anticipate the governments of the day will actually address that in such a way that we will take ownership of our young people, but we need the resources to do this,í he said.î] [4] ìCasino Compact Announced; State's Take Tied To Limits On Others,î John Hanna, Associated Press, October 18, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìTwo Indian tribes and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius agreed to a compact permitting a large casino in Wyandotte County, guaranteeing the state revenues based on how much it restricts gambling elsewhere, a Sebelius aide said Monday. Under the compact reached with the Kickapoo and Sac and Fox tribes, the state could receive $50 million or more annually, said Matt All, the governor's chief counsel. Wyandotte County could receive $10 million or more, he said. However, to get its full share, the state must limit the number of slot machines elsewhere and oppose another new Indian casino within 100 miles if federal law requires Kansas to be consulted first, All said. If the state permitted too much other gambling, its share of revenues could drop to only a few million dollars. It would be the first Indian casino in Kansas to share revenue with the state. Seven states - Arizona, California, Connecticut, Michigan, New Mexico, New York and Wisconsin - have such agreements with tribes, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The Kickapoo and Sac and Fox have proposed building a $210 million casino-and-hotel complex near Kansas Speedway. The state would regulate the operation. All outlined the compact during a briefing with reporters and said it will be presented Wednesday to the Legislature's Joint Committee on Tribal-State Relations. Legislators must approve a compact, and the U.S. Interior Department must agree the casino site is eligible for gambling. ëThis project will create hundreds of jobs, attract thousands of tourists and generate millions of dollars for the state and local governments,í Sebelius said in a statement. Representatives of the two tribes called the compact fair. However, Jason Hodges, a spokesman for the Oklahoma- based Wyandotte Nation, called the compact ëa pipe dream.í He said federal law required the Wyandottes to be consulted because they have land in downtown Kansas City, Kan., within 50 miles of the proposed casino. The Wyandottes opened a small casino without a compact last year, and the state shut it down in April. A federal judge recently ruled the state had no authority to do so but also said the Wyandottes couldn't reopen their casino. Hodges said the Wyandottes will sue the Kickapoo and Sac and Fox if they seek federal approval of their casino site.î] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

Each paper should consider an aspect of one of four broad themes: water and waterways; climate and weather; vegetation; and land use. For example, under water and waterways a contribution might discuss a topic such as wastewater, drinking water, or the physical modification of watercourses. Under climate and weather, an essay might address changing temperature patterns or the relationship between climate and disease. Conference organizers will consider papers dealing with any time period from the prehistoric to the present. They will also consider history-based papers with a policy focus. For the purposes of the program they are defining Boston broadly to include, for example, eastern New England and its relationships to the city. The organizers hope to foster a cross-disciplinary discussion, and they welcome submissions from every relevant scholarly field, including (but not limited to) anthropology, archaeology, botany, climatology, economics, engineering, geography, geology, history, medicine, political science, sociology, urban planning, and zoology. Format: The conference will be organized into a series of topical panels. Each panel will be devoted to the discussion of papers circulated in advance. Essayists and assigned commentators will speak briefly at each session, but most of each meeting will be devoted to discussion incorporating the audience as well as the presenters. The conference organizers will select papers from among the proposals submitted. Proposals should be one-paged and single-spaced. Please include an abridged CV. Send proposals to: Remaking Boston, Massachusetts Historical Society, 1154 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02215. Deadline for proposals: January 15, 2005. For questions about the conference or individual sessions, please contact Conrad E. Wright at the above address or at cwright@masshist.org. Essayists selected will have to submit their papers no later than March 15, 2006, in order to allow time for them to circulate. After revisions, the Society hopes to publish a collection of essays from among those first presented at the conference. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 10:18:33 -0700 From: "H-AmIndian (Joyce Ann Kievit)" <amindian@MAIL.H-NET.MSU.EDU> Subject: FYI: News Items of Interest, 10/13/2004 (2 items) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest, 10/13/2004 (2 items) Compiled by Elise Boxer Additional information about sources available at the end of the message. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [1] =93Casino May Cost County=94 Rene Romo, October 13, 2004, Albuquerque= Journal. Copyright 2004 Albuquerque Journal. All Rights Reserved. =20 [=93Las Cruces, N.M.: A proposed off-reservation casino in Anthony would= cost Dona Ana County up to $1.7 million a year in lost gross-receipts taxes= and generate few, if any, jobs, according to an economic study released= Tuesday by casino opponents. Casino backers -- Jemez Pueblo and Santa Fe= art dealer Jerry Peters -- say the project would be an economic boon to= southern New Mexico. A report released Sept. 28 by casino promoters said= the project, envisioned for a 110-acre site about 20 miles north of El Paso= off Interstate 10, eventually would create about 1,000 jobs with an annual= payroll of about $28 million. The casino would attract about 2.7 million= visitors annually from New Mexico, West Texas, Mexico and I-10 travelers= and would pump about $30 million into the local economy each year, the= casino backers' report concluded. But the new economic study -- funded by= Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino, which could lose business to the new= competition -- concluded the project =91is likely to result in little or no= increase in local economic activity.=92 =91This is because the loss of= revenue by existing business to the casino will substantially offset the= benefits of the new casino on local economic activity,=92 the new study= says. Most of the casino's patrons will be drawn from the local community,= =91which means that the casino will compete with other local business for= scarce discretionary spending,=92 the study said. As a result, according= to the study, the casino's revenues will mean revenues lost to other local= businesses and fewer jobs created in other sectors of the local economy. = Because tribal casinos are exempt from state gross-receipts taxes and local= property taxes, the operation could result in a loss of $1.7 million in= local gross-receipts tax revenue and a loss to the state of up to $4.7= million.=94] [2] =93Neither Side Conveys Whole Story On Slots=94 Lynda V.

All Rights= Reserved.=20 [=93I-892 - The measure would allow electronic slot machines in nontribal= venues for the first time. Some taxes on the profits would be used to lower= property taxes. On billboards, in TV and radio ads, in debates and on the= street, the medium is often about most anything but the real message. The= state's tribes so far have spent more than $5 million to defeat Initiative= 892, the electronic-slot machine initiative, bankrolling TV ads depicting= an ominous effort by nontribal gambling interests to put slots in every= neighborhood. What isn't mentioned is the tribes' lucrative monopoly on= slot machines, or their worry that competition from nontribal venues could= undo their most successful economic-development tool. The pro-slot= campaign, funded primarily by gambling interests that want to put slots in= bars, taverns, restaurants, minicasinos and bingo halls statewide, is= reticent to mention the =91G word,=92 gambling. Campaign spokesman Tim= Eyman sells the measure as a property-tax cut. The initiative would use= gambling revenues to reduce property taxes. =91It's part of the= conversation,=92 Eyman says. =91But it's part of the conversation the other= side is more than adequately addressing. They don't need assistance from= me.=92 Consider the campaign's billboard near Tacoma: =91Lower property= taxes Vote yes on I-892.=92 The measure on the Nov. 2 ballot would create= a new state gambling tax of 35 percent on net machine proceeds. Of those= revenues, 1 percent would go to problem-gambling programs, after payment of= state administrative costs for overseeing use of the machines. The balance= would be paid into a fund to reduce the next year's state property taxes. = Machine operators would get 65 percent of net machine revenues. Profits= from tribal casinos are not taxed. Nontribal gambling interests spent more= than $821,528 through August, mostly to get I-892 on the ballot. Since= then, casino operators and other backers have stayed largely on the= sidelines, often declining interviews. They have donated little to the= campaign, and many of their contributions have been loans.=94] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -= =20 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN= staff.

The Clairemont Community Service Center: 4731 Clairemont Drive, San Diego, CA is filled to capacity. Many representatives of organizations and institutions are in attendance. Just past noon, Jane Dumas Kumeyaay elder is called upon to open the meeting/forum with a prayer in her Native language. Louis Guassac, Mesa Grande Band, is the moderator for the forum. Juan Castellanos, Indian Human Resource Center Executive Director originally proposed the concept of the Mayoral forum. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2148> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Tribes in Prop. 70 Fight Cite Sovereignty but Need to See Reality Prop. 70 would require the governor to sign 99-year deals. Under them, the tribes would be allowed unlimited casinos and slots on their lands and whatever games they desired. In return, they'd pay the state 8.84% of net winnings. That's the corporate tax rate in California, and it's the tribes' response to Schwarzenegger's demand for a "fair share." At first glance, this might seem fair. But reservation Indians are exempt from most other state and local taxes because of sovereignty. Property taxes don't apply to reservations, even to huge casinos. Tribal members don't pay state income taxes if they live on the reservation and earn their income there. They don't pay the car tax if the vehicle is used mostly on the reservation, and nobody checks. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2150> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Gaming measures' impacts broader than 'fair share' Television spots peddling Propositions 68 and 70 suggest the rival gambling measures would settle the debate over what constitutes a "fair share" the amount some believe American Indian tribes should pay for their gambling monopoly in California. Both initiatives would put a lot more money on the table, either for the state or local governments. But they pose a much deeper question for voters struggling to sift through one of the most expensive campaigns in state history. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2149> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> More news can be found at Kumeyaay.com <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news.html?catid=1> Latest News <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> The 10th California Indian Storytelling Festival: Bridging the Pacific with Native Voices November 6 7, 2004 San Leandro Public Library Theater 300 Estudillo Avenue San Leandro, CA 94577 On Saturday and Sunday, November 6-7, 2004 join us for a special celebration and cultural exchange between Native California Indian and Hawaiian storytellers at the 10th California Indian Storytelling Festival: Bridging the Pacific with Native Voices at the San Leandro Public Library Theater in San Leandro, California. *For information call: 510-793-8208 email: <mailto:cistory@cistory.org> cistory@cistory.org <http://www.cistory.org/festival> www.cistory.org/festival <http://kumeyaay.com/news/events.html?month=11&year=2004&day=6&tid= 1> Read the entire event >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> More events can be found at Kumeyaay.com <http://kumeyaay.com/news/events.html?month=10&year=2004&tid=1&sm= 1> Events Calendar <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/pixel.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/daily_news/news_bugbee.gif> Richard Bugbee is a Payoomkawichum (Luiseño) Indian from northern San Diego County.

H-WEST Digest - 15 Oct 2004 to 17 Oct 2004 (#2004-101)	There is one message totalling 35 lines in this issue. Topics of the day: 1. WHA 2004 Conference, Las Vegas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2004 19:52:01 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: WHA 2004 Conference, Las Vegas I would like to caution everyone who attended the WHA Conference in Las Vegas this weekend and stayed at the Riviera, the convention hotel, to look carefully at the printout of your bill and/or your next credit card statement. The hotel first denied that I was entitled to the conference rate (Linda Kay Quintana had to smack someone around to get that fixed). Then the hotel tried very hard to overcharge us. It took about 50 minutes of wrangling over the phone with three different assistant front desk managers to get the bill right before I left. [Details: There were two people in our room Thursday night, three people in our room Friday night. The hotel charged us for three people both nights. (Possibly an honest mistake, but that's only an extra $20.) The real sneaky thing was the hotel created three separate accounts for each of us, and then billed us each separately in some very creative ways. Using their interactive guest services program on the television, I added up all of our totals, and it was easily $100 more than it should have been. On Friday night I got an assistant manager to zero out everyone else's balances, create one bill under my name, and charge us the correct amount -- then I had to do it again Saturday morning, because it was still all wrong. When I finally had it right at checkout time Saturday morning,, they tried to stick in a new charge -- $3.22 for using the safe in our room! (The operative word here is "tried.")] Mary Ann Irwin Diablo Valley College/Chabot College, California ------------------------------ End of H-WEST Digest - 15 Oct 2004 to 17 Oct 2004 (#2004-101) *************************************************************	Automatic digest processor <LISTSERV@H-NET.MSU.EDU>	10/18/2004

It goes something like this: you locate and pray over your materials in nature, you collect them, you prepare them and then, finally, you begin the actual weaving. It's an involved undertaking that typically takes many hours. But it's a rewarding experience with payoffs that can be measured in multiple ways. And for Lorene Sisquoc, who taught a basket-weaving workshop Saturday at the UC Riverside Temecula Center, it's a tradition that keeps her in touch with her roots. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2145> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Poway opens City Hall with eye on future, past; Sculptures, displays commemorate American Indian presence As workers removed a black curtain from the tall sculpture, the crowd went silent. Gathered in the front courtyard of the new Poway City Hall, residents stared in awe at the bronze, six-foot American Indian looking toward the sky with an outreached hand. "To all my relations," said the artist, Johnny Bear Contreras, pointing to the sculpture and evoking applause. Contreras, a member of the San Pasqual Indian band, created two sculptures for Poway's new city government complex. Titled "Seeing," the sculpture of a man, although open to interpretation, represents reaching toward the spiritual realm while remaining deeply connected to the earth. Contreras said he hopes the sculptures inspire people to walk away from the government complex with an appreciation for diversity. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2146> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Poway dedicates new city hall A little boy with cake frosting smeared across his mouth stared up at the life-sized bronze statue of an American Indian reaching for the sky in front of the new City Hall on Saturday.

After listening to speeches by City Council members, touring the new 56,000-square-foot building and grabbing a piece of cake, residents and city workers crowded around Contreras for autographs, pictures and handshakes. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2147> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Kildee claims bill amendment 'breaks promise' The United States House of Representatives approved a Republican-sponsored amendment that would waive the laws protecting American Indian sacred sites in the construction of a security barrier just south of San Diego on the U.S./Mexico border.

Digest for IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com, issue 385	-- Topica Digest -- Dyslexia (VLD) By andrekar@ncidc.org ------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 20:10:06 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Dyslexia (VLD) THE DYSLEXIA SOLUTION Dorothy van den Honert 115 Mountain Drive Pittsfield, MA 01201 www.dyslexia.org Volume 3 #10 Sept. 2004 NEWSLETTER When my first son studied Hamlet in high school, he missed the answer on question #15 of the final exam. The answer was Laertes. So when his brother studied Hamlet two years later, Peter warned him that the answer to question 15 on the test was Laertes. In due course, Kip told Polly, Polly told Jerry, and Jerry told Louisa, so they all got it right, and they all got 100 instead of 95. And I am still wondering how a teacher could feel that a child who got 100 on the test understood the power, the drama, and the beauty of such a masterpiece better than the poor schmuck who only got, say, 95. Or 75, for that matter. Or how she felt qualified to decide that one person,s reaction to the play was „better‰ than another,s. Or, for that matter, why she felt she could get inside a child,s head and know what his real reaction was. And for that matter, why she thought a number grade was an appropriate measure for understanding Shakespeare in the first place. Now there are, indeed, occasions when a factual test with a grade is appropriate to the subject being studied. Before a med student is allowed to practice medicine, he must know a ton of facts or he may kill his patients. A civil engineer must know Strength of Materials cold or some hapless soul will end up in the drink because the bridge over the river collapsed. A linguist who works for the State Department must know his language cold or he may get us all in hot water, as happened recently when someone in Iraq misread the word for brother. But if you are teaching a child to play the French Horn, you show him how to finger a passage, how to get his lip just right and send him home to practise. When he comes back for the next lesson, you help some more. If he still doesn,t have the lip just right, you adjust it a little bit more, but you don,t give him a D for that day and tell him that next week you are going to give him a test, and if he doesn,t pass it, he will have to start all over from the beginning n extyear.fontp There are three reasons never to give a test, „pop‰ quiz, exam, weekl y quiz, or any other kind of test to a dyslectic child during your year of tutoring. First, the word, test, frightens or depresses. That is positively the last thing you want to do to your pupil. He must feel comfortable in your class, knowing that he will never be humiliated or feel that he has failed. Second, testing a dyslectic,s grasp of some spelling rule is a waste of time. You don,t need to test him to see what he knows. You watch him work every day. You know what he has learned, and you have a folder of his best spelling exercises to show it. Thirdly, your object is to get him to use the left side of his head when he reads and spells. You can,t test for that. When he reads happily and spells well, pretty well-- you know you have done that, but you can,t give him an MRI to prove it. Teaching Tip: Give one final test in June like the Gilmore Oral Reading Test or the Woodcock Johnson reading test which will give you two scores: accuracy and comprehension. And expect to get into an argument four times a year with your principal who wants scores for the student,s report card, whether it makes sense or not. Try to win the argument by saying that your mark during the year will reflect the student,s conduct, and you will send home a progress report at the end of the year specifying what the student has learned and what his grade level is. ------------------------------ End of IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com digest, issue 385	IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com	10/16/2004

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians is expected to close escrow early next week on a 30-acre parcel of land at the former Norton Air Force Base, a lawyer for the tribe said late Friday. The tribe had faced a Friday deadline for obtaining the land from the U.S. Air Force, which has been working to convey the land to the tribe for many years. Had the tribe not arranged to take possession of the land, the property could have reverted to a group of local governments that oversees redevelopment at the former base. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2140> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Bedrock at heart of landfill measure; 2 sides at odds on aquifer issue Aquifer or no aquifer?

Until then, I had never really thought of myself as white. M y identity was formed by the facts that I am an Appalachian woman, the daughter of a coal miner, a hillbilly -- somehow not quite white. But at Rocky Boy Elementary, I was bride-dress white, and it mattered more than ever before. Before Montana, my only Indian experience had been in the summer of 1959. Our family was on the way to Florida, and the route took us across the Smoky Mountains. My father nervously maneuvered our 1949 Buick along the twists and turns and through the tunnels that curled around and through the mountains. The road was narrow. The turns were sharp. The valley was far below. There were no guard rails. I held my eyes tightly shut but could not contain persistent slow-motion images of our car flying off the mountainside and drifting silently to the ground below. Moments after the mountains were behind us, a wooden sign welcomed us to the Cherokee Indian Reservation. Stretched out before me was the closest thin g to Disneyland I'd ever seen. Motels, restaurants, and souvenir shops were lined up wall to wall on both sides of the highway. There were cars and people as far as I could see. My father wheeled our tank of a car into a parking space right in front o f Big Bear's Cherokee Trading Post. I jumped out of the car and ran to the window. There before my eyes was a virtual cornucopia of essential Indian and frontiersmen's regalia. They had everything I needed -- hard plastic bows with yellow-suction-cup-tipped arrows; rubber tomahawks decorated with secret Indian symbols; cardboard headdresses adorned with blue, red, or yellow feathers; and a real cedar ash tray with a ceramic insert showing a hillbilly boy with his pants down. "Put your butts here," it said. While that was funny, it paled alongside the bag of corn husks labeled "Hillbilly Toilet Paper." My eyes continued to scan the window until they landed on a genuine faux fur coonskin cap. I knew I had to have it and began to concoct a plan to attain it. As I crafted the finer points of the coming battle between my mother and me, my eyes were diverted. The coonskin was erased from my mind and replaced by the most remarkable thing I'd ever seen. There, right in the parking lot, stood an enormous painted teepee. I was lured to it as though under a spell. But I forgot all about it when I saw an Indian chief standing beside it. I looked him over as if he were a museum specimen. His arms were tightly folded across his chest, his headdress was feathered all the way to the ground, and his stance conveyed emotionless power. "Just like Tonto," I thought. "The chief wants us to take a picture of him with you and Tom," my father said. I couldn't imagine why, but, sure enough, the chief motioned to us to come stand beside him. I was going to get my picture taken with a real Indian! Why, it could be the best thing that ever happened. My neighborhood status would shoot to the top when kids saw me standing beside the chief. My little brother refused to loosen his death grip on my mother's arm. "Always a baby. He's going to ruin everything." I took matters into my own hands. With whispered threats of bodily harm once Mother and Daddy weren't there to protect him, I pulled him into camera range. Just before the camera snapped, I flashed my biggest smile, Tom's face froze in terror, and the chief contorted his face to create an appropriately fierce look. Later, I saw m y father drop quarters into a cup labeled "tips." TODAY, MOST Indian children are taught by white people who, like me, possess only the sanitized knowledge and understandings of Indian people and their history from bland white history texts. We learned about the pilgrims, but not about the Indians who saved them; about Lewis and Clark, but not about the Indians who saved them; about the great westward expansion, but not about the destruction of the Indian way of life it required; about reservations, but not about the attempted genocide. And Indians disappeared after they killed Custer. At least there was no more about them in my history books. As a result, we learned little beyond one- dimensional caricatures of history. Here in Montana, and I imagine throughout Indian country, deep wounds and resentments still fester. Many of the white teachers' great- grandparents participated in the wars that gave them the right to plant wheat and graze cows on land promised to Indians. They told their version of history to their children and their children's children. The children we teach are descendants of warriors who fought fiercely but lost the war to preserve their way of life. Like white men, they passed their version of history along to their children and grandchildren. Even as a teacher not burdened with the histories shared by many of my colleagues, I struggled to understand. But only seemingly random thoughts cluttered my brain. Then one day, I had a bolt-of-lightning realization so obvious it stunned me. As the new understanding began to sink in, everything I knew, or thought I knew, about Indians and settlers morphed into a new perspective. Our "relocation" was their death march; our rebellion was their resistance; our sport shooting of buffalo was their loss of food, clothing, and objects of great significance in their religious ceremonies. When a small Cree band killed eight white people, we called it the Frog Lake Massacre. When 200 mostly unarmed men, women, and children were killed by the Seventh Cavalry, we called it the Battle at Wounded Knee. In our school on the Rocky Boy Reservation, much is taught about life far beyond the reservation. Virtually nothing is taught about life just outside our school walls. Sadly, the marginalization of the Indian people seems never more blatant than during Native American Week, as children fashion construction-paper moccasins, color in profiles of Indians in headdresses or pulling back a bow, construct toothpick teepees and birch bark canoes. Th e focus is crafts, not meaningful understandings of their own history. But white teachers don't know history from a Chippewa-Cree perspective. And, as one teacher pointed out, you can't teach what you don't know. Our social studies textbooks are no help. They are the same series used b y many mainstream public schools. The fifth-grade book has special inserts about women, blacks, and Asian Americans, but no Chippewa or Cree is ever mentioned. Texts whose titles call for exploring "our community" do not, in fact, have anything to do with our Rocky Boy community. When we study government, we learn how Congress and state governments pass laws. But we never explore the government that has the greatest impact on our children 's lives -- the tribal council. Facts and understandings of Chippewa-Cree history don't show up on E. D. Hirsch's list of what literate people need to know, and they definitely won't be on the Iowas. Our job is to educate ou r students to perform as if they were white. Not because there are practical applications for the isolated knowledge bits, not because children need t o feel the American Dream is within their reach, but because white history is the real history. Still, in Montana every school is required to teach the history of the state's seven tribes. There is no agreement on the content of these histories. There are no texts or curriculum manuals, no standards, no assessments, and no support materials. Teachers are indentured into inservice workshops of every form and shape. Funded with No Child Left Behind monies, unsupported by research predicting positive outcomes for our children, and showing no connection to our kids , the workshops teach us approaches that will only push our students further behind. What we white teachers really need is intensive professional development to help us learn to teach children living in a culture we do not understand. We need to learn history from an Indian perspective, to learn the language and traditions that are so much a part of reservation life. But there is no funding for such things. So, with the best of intentions, we stumble on. The Indian wars are not really over. They may never be. Their effects are visible every day. The issues that matter are seldom, if ever, discussed. Persistent cultural mistrust, long-ago miscarriages of justice, and who d id what to whom for what purpose silently linger just below the surface. Last week in the grocery store, I overheard a white man telling a joke. I didn't hear the beginning, but the punch line was, "There's a limit of on e deer, but there's no limit on Indians." The cashier's booming laugh rolled across the aisles. I hoped no child was near as my eyes scanned the store. Even my terminal optimism is challenged by such experiences. On good days, I believe white teachers can educate Indian children. But sometimes, standing in line at the grocery store, I begin to wonder. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 23:41:52 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Native Food Good (health) Western Diet Increases Diabetes in Pima Indians http://www.mercola.com/2001/may/19/diabetes.htm In a study of lifestyle habits among the Pimas, researchers found that those who consumed an "Anglo" diet were nearly three times as likely to develop diabetes over about 6 years, compared with those who followed a "traditional" diet rich in squash, melons and legumes. Those who consumed elements of both diets were also at increased risk. The Pima Indians of Arizona have undergone a rapid transition from a traditional lifestyle that included a healthy diet and exercise through work in fields, to a "Westernized" lifestyle marked by high-fat foods and less physical activity. As a result, rates of obesity and chronic diseases characteristic of Western populations have soared. In fact, the Pima Indians have the highest rate of type 2 diabetes in the world. But the Pimas are only one of myriad groups whose health is being affected by today's lifestyles. Overall, diabetes was diagnosed in 22% of the study participants, predominately women. Foods in the traditional Pima diet do not cause blood sugar to surge in the way many foods included in the Anglo diet do. Additionally, a healthier diet is also associated with a healthier overall lifestyle that includes exercise. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body loses its sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, or glucose. When insulin sensitivity wanes, glucose rises to levels that can, over time, increase a person's risk of developing heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage and blindness. In another study, diabetic Pima Indians and whites who consumed a traditional Indian diet for just 2 weeks improved their glucose tolerance and lowered their cholesterol.

H-WEST Digest - 12 Oct 2004 to 15 Oct 2004 (#2004-100)	There is one message totalling 33 lines in this issue. Topics of the day: 1. Website: Kansas Railroading ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 18:22:54 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: Website: Kansas Railroading >From the Scout Report, University of Wisconsin, Madison *********** Streaming West: Railway activity westwards through Kansas, 1860-1890 [pdf] http://wt.diglib.ku.edu/ The popular images of westward expansion throughout the United States in the middle of the 19th century include frequent invocations of the "iron horse", or the railroad. The federal government gave huge incentives (such as massive land grants) to a number of railroad companies in the decades following the Civil War, and these companies made good on their promises to bring the railroad through tiny villages, military outposts, medium-sized towns, and large cities across the Great Plains. Any users interested in seeing some of the first-hand visual documentation of these events will want to take a look at the Western Trails online exhibit created by the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas (with generous support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services). Here visitors can view a monograph that describes the building of the first railroad bridge across the Missouri River in Kansas City and first-hand accounts of trips taken abroad the Union Pacific Railroad and the Kansas Pacific Railway, among a number of compelling historical documents.

The site can be accessed at www.ihs.gov/NonMedicalPrograms/chr/. Because of the impact of the self-government regulations, the CHR program is continuously self-monitoring and revising to meet the needs of American Indian and Alaskan Native communities within the constructs of individual tribal direction while fulfilling its mission to provide quality outreach health care services and health promotion/disease prevention services to American Indians and Alaska Natives within their communities through the use of well-trained CHR's. ************************************************************************************************************** Website for disabled Native American Veterans American Indians and Alaska Natives have long served with distinction in United States military actions. Many of these veterans bear the wounds of battle. The National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder reports that no group of Vietnam veterans is more susceptible to physical illness than American Indian and Alaska Native veterans. American Indian and Alaska Native veterans with service-connected disabilities may benefit from theVeterans Administration's Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Service.

"We want them to negotiate and pay their fair share."

"That's what's important. The Indian gaming tribes will have to come to the table and negotiate with me. And I happen to be a very good negotiator," Schwarzenegger told reporters as fans and curious passers-by gazed on from the edge of a restaurant parking lot in the historic Old Town area. He said Proposition 70 doesn't do enough to protect the environment surrounding Indian reservations, guarantee the rights of casino workers and customers, or open tribal accounting books to state auditors. "You're a part of California no matter if you're a sovereign nation or not," he said. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2135> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> 80th Assembly District candidates battle in TV debate On tribal gaming, Andreas, a former four-term tribal chairwoman for the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, said she had trouble with portions of Proposition 70, a tribal gaming initiative drafted by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and supported by the Morongo tribe, but said she understood the proponent tribe,s goals. "There seems to be no stability for the tribes in the compacts" negotiated with the state, she said. "While I don,t agree with every part, I,m sympathetic." Garcia said she wanted more local government say and a fair playing field for those tribes without compacts, but said she would leave the decision on Proposition 70 to the voters. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2136> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> High court frustrates Indians Facing an increasingly hostile Congress and Supreme Court, Native American tribal leaders from around the country came together this week to discuss ways to keep the independence they've enjoyed for decades. The 61st annual National Congress of American Indians convention wraps up today without any major pronouncements or visits from President George Bush or Sen. John Kerry, whom organizers hoped would arrive during the week. The candidates sent surrogates to address the increasingly influential caucus, credited with helping sway several close state and federal elections. But much of the discussion focused not on tribes' influence but on their vulnerability. A string of court decisions over the past 20 years threatens to erode Indian sovereignty, the long-standing position that they should be free to govern themselves, without interference from state or local governments. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2139> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Native groups succeed in preserving Long Beach site California Native groups completed a tri-county ancestor pilgrimage Oct. 2 to call attention to the ongoing struggle to preserve some of the last remaining ancient Indian sites in Southern California --- a struggle that connects with elements of Catholic social teaching.

Native healers, however, say food is only one ingredient on the path to good health, which depends on the balance and harmony of body, mind and spirit.

Some are slight and almost subliminal, while others boldly slap you in the face with their dangerous cultural assumptions and bordering-on-fictitious ideologies regarding Native people, history and even their spirituality. Take the March 11, 1992 commentary by Andy Rooney entitled "Indians Seek A Role in Modern US." He opened with his contrary opinion of the Native community protesting the usage of racist images and mascots at sporting events. "I think it's silly." he wrote, "American Indians have more important problems than to worry about sports teams calling themselves by Indian nicknames." Following this callous statement, he also made the following assertions: 1. "American Indians were never subjected to the same kind of racial bias of blacks." 2. "In spite of the fact that they surrounded the wagon trains and shot flaming arrows into the stagecoach carrying the new schoolmarm, Indians were always considered to be brave, strong, stoic, resourceful, true to their word and unconquerable." 3. "While American Indians have a grand past, the impact of their culture on the world has been slight. There are no great Indian novels, no poetry... and there's no Indian art." 4. "The time for the way Indians lived is gone and it's doubly sad because they refuse to accept it. They hang onto remnants of their religion and superstitions that may have been useful to savages 500 years ago but which are meaningless in 1992." 5. "No one would force another religion on them." 6. "Should Indians be preserved on reservations like the redwoods and the American eagle, or should they join the mainstream?" 7. "The phenomenon of Indian alcohol addiction has existed since the 1600s." In this criticism by a well-known commentator who's words reached millions, how many stereotypes were delivered to a national audience? Before we dissect his comments, let's first define a stereotype: Webster's New World Dictionary defines a stereotype as "a fixed or conventional notion or conception." This seems a bit obtuse, so let me redefine a stereotype according to multicultural education and learning: * A stereotype has the following elements: The origin of the stereotype stems from a concept in which one individual or group believes they are superior over another due to their physical, spiritual, mental, cultural or personal attributes. * The attribute is exaggerated, misconstrued, generalized and/or negative. * The premise for such characterization is a "we" against "them" attitude. The stereotypes stem from assumptions of another race, when one group refuses to find the truth of another and relies on false information, forming their own opinions The Stereotype leads to the mistreatment of a person. Common stereotypes for Native Americans include: * All Indians are spiritual environmentalists * Indian men are braves, women are squaws, children are papooses and leaders are chiefs * All tribes wore feathered headdresses, lived in teepees and were great horsemen. * Most Indians are poor alcoholics who cant finish school, read or keep a job. * Indians are pagan believers who worship superstitious notions and have no real religion * Indians speak broken language, have no sense of humor, and are passive. * All Indians look alike. * Real Indians no longer exist. * Indians were barbaric, child-stealing villains * Native people interfered with the growth of a nation. * White civilization did what was best for the Native people. It civilized them. * If it were not for the European discovery, Native people would still be half-naked, wandering the Plains yet today. Examples of Native American Stereotypes and what they Manifest: * A Cleveland Indian poster hangs in a teachers classroom * A child who knows the truth about Thanksgiving watches Pilgrims and Indians act out the "First Thanksgiving" during a school play * Prison inmates are mocked and prohibited from conducting their spiritual ceremonies * Local children's groups are playing cowboys and Indians in a regional play * A festival includes an "authentic" tribal dance - though it is not Indian, and not authentic. * An Indian bone is attempted to be sold on the Internet * The school mascot is a non-Native dressed as a stereotypical Indian. * Commercials for Squaw Mountain or Eskimo Pies are on television * A burial mound is bulldozed * A person with an Indian heritage cannot attend a minority conference because they do not have a federal identification number * Late night talk show hosts crack jokes about mascot protesting * Non-Native people advertise sweat lodges and Indian tarot cards - for a hefty price * Indian dolls are sold in craft stores and malls - complete with "authentic" outfit * A department store sells a Crazy Horse clothing line though his relatives protest and deem the usage of his name as offensive. * Native "art" (painted by non-Native artists) sold at tourist shops. <---------------------> Recently, a KARN radio DJ from Little Rock, Arkansas engaged in a dialogue with others in which the topic was rude people. This DJ, voicing his opinion regarding children and parents in public said, "...if they didn't act like little Indians there would be no problem!" When Native people complained, he told them that is was no big deal. (How rude! and ironic..) And when AIM protesters and their supporters at the March pre-season exhibition games challenged the justification in using Native imagery - especially chief Wahoo of the Cleveland Indians - Native people were told to "get a job", "go back to where you came from" and were actually shoved and spit upon. What causes a society to believe that these acts are appropriate? Why doesn't a person automatically KNOW that mocking Native people is culturally offensive? An individual who would never use the *n-word* to a black person and would think it is brutally offensive to support a football team called the Nevada Negros sees nothing wrong with the Cleveland Indians, or with the many Indian mascots used today by various sporting teams. Why is that? Many people today, especially children, maintain a one-dimensional image of a Native person. Just as many cartoon, literature and movie characters lock Indian figures into 19th century clothing and imagery, children often draw upon such images when asked to describe a Native American living today. War bonnets, feathered braids, loincloths, and tipi's are characteristics generally associated with indigenous people. This stereotypical image continues its promotion via Disney movies (such as Pocahontas), team mascots (Atlanta Braves, the Washington Redskins, etc.), popular literature (Indian in the Cupboard), and the many products produced for profit by large companies that market fanciful images of Native Americans. This type of misrepresentation of an entire culture dehumanizes and exploits the group as a whole, fictionalizing a race, and propelling prejudice from one person to the next. In response to Mr. Rooney's irresponsible comments, I have the following reply: 1. American Indians were subjected to the same biases as blacks. Segregation, violence, removal from homes, slavery, unjust laws, and a denial of human privileges were experienced by both minority groups. 2. Images of innocent settlers surrounded by vicious Indians are extreme stereotypes that Mr. Rooney must still believe in. Anyone who studies history of the "Wild West" knows such images are completely misconstrued. 3. Indian art by prominent artists such as T.C. Cannon, Richard Glazer, Peter Jemison, Norval Morrisseau, Leonard Peltier are highly valued. As for novels, M. Scott Momaday won the Pulitzer in 1969. 4. Traditions and ancient religions of the Native people are strongly held onto today - and rightly so. 5. Native people were forced to convert to white religions time and time again. For example, children taken from their parents and placed in boarding school would be physically punished for attempting to practice their own religion. Complete freedom of religion was not granted to the Native people until 1978. 6. Native people are this nations indigenous people - the lands original explorers, settlers, landowners and discovers. Not only should their culture be preserved, it should be revered. 7. Alcohol was introduced to Native people. Not all American Indians are alcoholics. This is a common stereotype. Stereotyping of Native culture and people continues to evolve and change as society changes. As long as Native history is misreported or omitted from history books, the cycle of stereotyping will continue. Turning a blind, or unconcerning, eye to such stereotypes allows society to perpetrate prejudice to the Native community. Past stereotypes promote current ones. If the racist actions of today are allowed to continue, what will it lead to tomorrow? ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Terri Jean is the She is the director of the Red Roots Educational Project.

They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "What is this, Father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous, voluptuous, young woman stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son... "Nima bikaa ni dil yaad! (Go get your mother!)" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2004 23:05:35 +0000 From: andre cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: More columbus (holidaze) How should we remember Columbus? http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2003/10/13/opinion/8819.shtml 2003 Christopher Francis Princetonian Columnist Many will celebrate Christopher Columbus today, five hundred and eleven years after his arrival Some of us are told his arrival marked the "discovery" of a new continent and a new nation without mention of Columbus' legacy of colonization and exploitation. Christopher Columbus washed ashore frightened and lost, he destroyed lives, enslaved, tortured, killed and oppressed. The celebration of Columbus on this day seriously questions our capacity for human emotion and sympathy. Rather than honor Columbus' actions and image we should honor the brave and innocent men, women and children who died and those who survived his influence of centuries of conquest, colonization, slavery and religious persecution. If we celebrate, we must also remember. We must remember all those who died from violent and destructive attacks on our soil and to those who died defending it. The arrival of Columbus marked a huge turning point in American history, a history that includes Native Americans, Western-European colonizers and the Unites States. The colonization of the Americas was extremely bloody. The struggle for power and domination in the "new world" destroyed the souls of those unable to defend themselves against such militarily aggressive authorities. Too many innocent men, women and children were violently oppressed and killed and such acts of terror need to be remembered and not celebrated. The battle for indigenous survival continued well after the colonizing period and eventually all Indian people began fighting the same enemy. After centuries of fighting each other, Indian people and the United States agreed to live in peace. Reluctantly, the United States government rightfully agreed to protect and to provide for the needs of Indian people and recognized the sovereign status of over 500 Indian nations. Today, Indian nations across the United States are fighting legal and political battles to hold the U.S. government accountable for the agreements previously made to them in exchange for the land and resources that have made the United States of America the strongest military and economic power in the world. The government-to-government relationship between Indian nations and the federal government is unequal and unfair because it has become a government-over-government monopolistic enterprise of abuse and unjustified neglect. Indian people have the same rights as all citizens of the United States, but too often these rights do not protect their desire to preserve Native languages and cultures. Indian people simply want to teach younger generations their heritage, while having the resources and rights to maintain their culture. They want the right to determine their own destiny without the fear of having something taken from them. Native Americans constitute a larger percentage of the U.S. armed forces, proportionately, than other groups. The duty to defend and protect against attacks on American forces and on American soil is highly felt in Indian communities because Indian people are committed to defending their elders and their children from the evils out to destroy them and their way of life. Indian people have survived centuries of mistreatment and disregard for their way of life. The celebration of Christopher Columbus only justifies unethical and immoral acts against humanity. Although the image of Columbus may represent discovery and conquest, the image of Columbus to the indigenous people of the Americas, Africa and all colonized continents in the world, is of countless souls and bodies beaten to death for power, economic exploitation and religious domination. These souls deserve a sincere apology for attempts to celebrate such hate and violent disregard for their culture, race, religion and simple existence. The celebration of ethnic genocide and disregard for human rights committed against Indian people is gravely disrespectful and hurtful. Rather than celebrate this evil man, we all must remember the millions of indigenous people who had their lives violently stolen after his arrival. Our future as a free and just nation should not include the praise for or glorification of Christopher Columbus, but it should include the story of the Indian fight for survival and struggle for peace. In a world mentally, physically and spiritually scarred by such hate and evil, we must remain united. We must all unite to protect our rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as members of this great nation and of the free world. Let us unite to remember all those who died for these rights and condemn all those who did nothing but fight to destroy them. On behalf of all Native people, I ask you, today, to remember those who are no longer with us and to celebrate the survival of those of us who are still here. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2004 16:02:23 -0700 From: Andre Cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Nebraska (community) --Apple-Mail-17--857740890 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed New tribal village rises on Nebraska's isolated territory Bradford McKee, New York Times Winnebago, Neb. -- Progress has a way of backfiring on the Winnebago tribe of Nebraska past decade tribal Full story @: http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle/ --Apple-Mail-17--857740890 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=ISO-8859-1 <bold><fontfamily><param>Arial</param><bigger><bigger><bigger>New tribal village rises on Nebraska's isolated territory = </bigger></bigger><	IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com	10/14/2004

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC The voyage of Columbus in 1492 is a turning point in world history. After 1492, peoples and civilizations of long-separated regions began to develop connections that have led to the incipient global community of the 1990s. It is their global significance that justifies a prominent place in today's school curriculum for the four voyages of Columbus to the Western Hemisphere, not the mere fact of their 500th anniversary in 1992 and thereafter. Educators, therefore, should use the Columbian Quincentenary as a ripe time to renew and reform teaching and learning about these events of long ago that still affect most peoples and places of our world today. THE COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE The far-reaching and transforming interactions of peoples in the Western and Eastern Hemispheres, which occurred after 1492, are known today as the "Columbian Exchange," the title of a seminal book by Alfred W. Crosby. Crosby has provided an ecological perspective on the conditions and consequences of the Columbian voyages that should be included in the school curriculum. He has examined how plants, pathogens, and animals moved from one hemisphere to the other and changed natural environments and cultures. He has described the devastating effects of Eastern Hemisphere microbes on Western Hemisphere peoples and the subsequent shifts in the genetic composition of populations in the Americas. However, Crosby has emphasized that the "Columbian Exchange" has not been one-sided. Certainly European and African plants, animals, goods, and ideas have affected the Amerindians. But peoples of the Western Hemisphere have influenced the Europeans, Africans, and Asians too, especially in their cultivation of crops and preparation of foods. Elementary and secondary school teachers should use Crosby's concept of the "Columbian Exchange" to help their students acquire an ecological perspective on world history. Thus, they will learn how cultural diffusion and social changes have shaped our modern world. And they will understand Crosby's most important message: Once begun, the "Columbian Exchange" cannot be reversed. The Columbian voyages and the subsequent Age of Exploration and Discovery have forged inseparable bonds between once separated peoples and civilizations, and there is no turning back. GEOGRAPHY IN HISTORY Ideas of geography are indispensable aids to interpreting and understanding events and developments of history, such as the Columbian voyages and their consequences. This point is made convincingly by D. W. Meinig in his ground-breaking project, THE SHAPING OF AMERICA: A GEOGRAPHICAL PERSPECTIVE ON 500 YEARS OF HISTORY. Teachers should consult Meinig's work to understand how ideas in geography can improve explanations of events associated with the Columbian voyages and their global consequences. Teachers should also use the five themes developed by the Joint Committee on Geographic Education. These five themes are location, place, relationships within places, movement, and regions. They have been endorsed as foundations of geography education by three prominent organizations: The National Geographic Society, the Association of American Geographers, and the National Council for Geographic Education. These five themes, applied to inquiries about the Columbian voyages, can be used to bring a geographic perspective to events and developments in history. THE PERSON IN HISTORY As educators bring the often-neglected ecological and geographical perspectives to the study of the Columbian voyages, they must be careful to remember the importance of the great or prominent persons in history, such as Columbus. The term "great person" in history is not used here to denote extraordinary goodness or virtue; rather, it is applied only to those who have had the most far-reaching effects on the shape of our world. Thus, Columbus can be considered a great man because his decisions and deeds have had great global impact, from his era to our own times. One key to understanding the Columbian voyages and their consequences is accurate information and interpretation about Columbus and his deeds. Teachers and students need to distinguish the many myths from realities about the life and times of Columbus. They should, therefore, consult the best biographical literature on Columbus. One recommended source is the time-honored biography by Samuel Eliot Morison, ADMIRAL OF THE OCEAN SEA, which emphasizes the skills of Columbus as a sailor, leader, and visionary. A new biography by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto has won high praise from scholarly reviewers for its judicious treatment of Columbus within his European context, as a man of a particular era, culture, and place in history. In this balanced and unbiased biography, Columbus's strengths and weaknesses are examined. Thus, for example, the author reveals Columbus's extraordinary achievements as a navigator and explorer and his great failures as a colonizer and administrator. Fernandez-Armesto's scholarly biography is a blend of sympathy and antipathy about the trials and triumphs of Columbus, who is shown to be neither a pure villain nor an undiminished hero. Teachers ought to follow the example of Felipe Fernandez-Armesto in developing realistic classroom portrayals of Columbus. MULTIPLE VIEWPOINTS A persistent threat to accurate and balanced treatments of the Columbian voyages is ethnocentric or monolithic interpretation. The school curriculum has often ignored or glossed over the diverse viewpoints of Amerindian and African peoples. Improved teaching and learning about the Columbian voyages must include the various voices of this fateful encounter between the diverse cultures of four continents and three races. An excellent scholarly source of knowledge about Amerindian viewpoints on the European invasion of their lands is CULTURES IN CONTACT: THE IMPACT OF EUROPEAN CONTACTS ON NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS, edited by William Fitzhugh. Teachers and students should also examine Amerindian perspectives discussed in TWO WORLDS: THE INDIAN ENCOUNTER WITH THE EUROPEANS, 1492-1509 by S. Lyman Tyler. African and African-American views of the Columbian voyages are closely tied to a far-reaching and profound consequence of the "Columbian Exchange"--the Atlantic slave trade. Two highly recommended sources for teachers are Phillip D. Curtin's (1) THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE and (2) THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC IN THE AGE OF THE SLAVE TRADE. In addition, Basil Davidson's THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE is an excellent source that presents the African context of the trade in human beings. In presentations of multiple viewpoints about the conditions and consequences of the Columbian voyages, teachers should emphasize both diversity between groups and diversity within groups. For example, the great variations in responses of Amerindian people to their encounters with Europeans should be stressed in the school curriculum. MOVE BEYOND THE TEXTBOOK If teachers are to provide a multiplicity of viewpoints and perspectives on the Columbian voyages, they must move beyond the textbook to use various educational materials and resources. A recent survey of standard textbook treatments of Columbus, by Carla Phillips and William Phillips (1991, 27-30), reveals their serious limitations. The authors demonstrate that teachers must expose students to more accurate and profound examinations of the Columbian voyages than are provided in the typical textbook. Development of classroom lessons based on primary documents is one way to provide realistic and detailed treatments of diverse viewpoints. THE LOG OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS is one primary document that can be the basis for challenging and illuminating teaching and learning activities. "Columbus and the Age of Discovery," a well-designed seven-program documentary video series about Columbus's voyages, provides another excellent means of moving beyond the textbook to enrich teaching and learning in the classroom. These video programs, produced by the WGBH Educational Foundation of Boston, were broadcast initially on PBS in October of 1991. They will be shown again on PBS channels in October of 1992 and in 1993. The director of this video series, Zvi Dor-Ner, has also written a companion book to his television programs, COLUMBUS AND THE AGE OF DISCOVERY. Dor-Ner's book is first rate in its presentation of the European context of the Columbian voyages, the key events of Columbus's life, and the global consequences of his deeds. In both his video programs and book, Dor-Ner avoids the flawed extremes of uncritical glorification and super-critical denunciation of Columbus, which have distorted too many treatments of his life and deeds. Thus, teachers should make ample use of Dor-Ner's videos and companion book in developing lessons and research projects for their students. Write to WGBH for information about their video series, COLUMBUS AND THE AGE OF DISCOVERY, and an accompanying TEACHER'S GUIDE: 125 Western Avenue, Boston, MA 02134. You can purchase this series directly from the WGBH collection, P.O. Box 2053, Princeton, NJ 08543; (800) 828-WGBH. An interactive video disk (for IBM and MacIntosh) has been developed by Optical Data; contact WGBH of Boston about its availability. Successful education in schools about the Columbian voyages depends upon the solid and ever-expanding knowledge base of the teacher. Elementary and secondary school history teachers, therefore, must accept the never-ending challenge of reading and learning about the life and times of Columbus to provide themselves and their students with accurate information and interpretations.

"America continues to fight the 'Indian wars' and one expression of that is Columbus Day," AIM organizer Glenn Morris told Indian Country Today. Protesters focused on exposing the root of genocide in America as they were arrested for blocking the path of the Sons of Italy's Columbus Day Parade of bikers, limos and semi-trucks. Denver police arrested 245 people, including 44 juveniles. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2130> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Denver Columbus Day protest on international terror watch list: Where is Marlon Brando when you need him?

"Football is a very good experience for them," says Johnny Hernandez, chairman of the Santa Ysabel bands of Diegueño Indians, whose stepson Jeffrey is a junior lineman/linebacker. "It gives them something to do and helps them learn many lessons. Our main emphasis is always education pushing the kids toward college but sports are something we enjoy. Football is integrated into the culture. Most (in Santa Ysabel) are either Chargers or Raiders fans.

(The term, „Americas‰ was coined after Amerigo Vesucci who is recorded as being the first European explorer to circumnavigate the globe.) Contrary to popular mythology, Columbus was not the first European explorer to land in the Western Hemisphere.

In one small Indian community in Canada, four young people have hanged themselves in the past three months alone. The former chief of the village, whose nephew hanged himself on the 30th September, has described the situation there as a suicide 'epidemic'. The deaths are occurring in the Innu community of Natuashish in Labrador, eastern Canada. Other Innu communities in Labrador and Quebec suffer from the same appalling social problems, with epidemics of petrol-sniffing amongst the children, and alcoholism amongst the adults. All ages have been committing suicide in shocking numbers for many years, but this is now at an all-time high. Five years ago Survival's report 'Canada's Tibet: the killing of the Innu' exposed the scale of the problem, and called on the Canadian government properly to recognize the Innu's rights over their land. But little has changed on the ground. At the other end of the continent in Brazil, the Guarani Indians are living through a similar tragedy. There, over 300 Indians have killed themselves since 1986, including 26 children under the age of 14. The tribe has been robbed of almost all its land. Stephen Corry, Survival's Director, said today, 'Responsibility for years of Innu suicides rests squarely with Canada's government. There is no doubt whatsoever that its denial of Innu rights is destroying the people. The Indians know this only too well. They also know that if white children were hanging themselves, rather than Indians, the government would act immediately. Canada's attitude remains deeply colonialist, even racist. The recent suicides sound an alarm that it's time for change, but Canada remains tragically deaf.' Photos and footage available.

Copyright 2004 Cox Enterprises, Inc. , All Rights Reserved. [Rapid City, S.D.: At He Sapa Wacipi, the annual Black Hills powwow, American Indians from 16 states gathered this weekend to dance, drum, sing, show off tribal finery, celebrate their heritage -and	Automatic digest processor <LISTSERV@H-NET.MSU.EDU>	10/13/2004
H-AMINDIAN Digest - 9 Oct 2004 to 12 Oct 2004 (#2004-208) <part #2>	meet congressional candidates. ëThere are two things politicians in Washington recognize: money and votes,í said Harold Frazier, chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation. ëIn Sioux Country, we don't have any money but we do have votes.í Indeed, the Native American turnout was the difference in the 524 vote victory for Democrat Tim Johnson in the 2002 U.S. Senate election in South Dakota. So the loser in that race, Republican John Thune, came to He Sapa Wacipi on Saturday seeking more support this time from the nine reservations in a state where Native Americans are the largest minority, making up 8 percent of the electorate. When hundreds of tribal dancers in feathers, beads and buckskin made their grand entry, Thune was with them-doing the traditional toe-and-heel step to the beat of Oglala Lakota drums. Congress was in session so Thune's opponent, Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle, dispatched his son and daughter the previous night to campaign among the Native Americans and host a fried chicken dinner at the powwow. Although they represent only 1.5 percent of the national electorate, Native Americans are being wooed as an important bloc vote in campaigns from Oklahoma to Alaska. In New Mexico, where they make up 10 percent of the populace and where Democrat Al Gore won by 366 votes in 2000, American Indians could be the difference in the tight presidential race between President Bush and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. . . . The National Congress of American Indians has vowed to mobilize a million voters in eight states with significant Native American populations: Alaska, Arizona, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oklahoma and South Dakota. . . . ëHistorically, it's been hard to get Indian people to take part in a system that many don't believe they're a part of,í said Chas Jewett, state director of the non-partisan Dakota Native Vote Project. Native Americans have their own "sovereign nations" and voter participation is high often reaching 90 percent in tribal elections, explained Jewett, a Sioux who lives on the Cheyenne River Reservation. Gradually, the residents of reservations are realizing that their votes in state and federal elections also directly affect their lives. ëWe do get federal and state services and pay taxes,í she said. ëWhen we participate (in the political process), people pay attention to us.í"} [2] ìElection Remote from the Tribal Vote: Important bloc Unimpressed by Bush or Kerry,î Stephanie McCrummen, The San Francisco Chronicle, pg. B1, October 10, 2004. Copyright Hearst Communications Inc., All Rights Reserved. [ìDilkon, AZ: You can drive miles and miles across the vast Navajo Reservation, across northern New Mexico, Arizona and one dusty, orange town after another and see exactly zero signs promoting Bush, and exactly one bearing the name of John Kerry. The one was in Dilkon last Friday afternoon, stretched across a metal fence at the 17th Annual Southwest Navajo Nation Fair and rodeo. By late afternoon, people in cowboy hats were arriving in pickups to watch men ride horses and rope sheep, and talk for a while over bowls of corn and mutton soup. ëI've seen a lot of ads on both sides,í Kee Ben Begay, a local leader here, was saying. ëMostly, it's just fighting back and forth ... 'Bush, he really cares about the war. He's not really thinking about here.' ... To me, it's good and it's bad. This other nation, they were hurting, and we're helping resolve it. On the other side, it's the same thing as a war when we're in a poor situation out here.í While the parties have pronounced that the American Indian vote is important in this election -- especially in New Mexico next door, which Al Gore won by 366 votes in 2000, and where Navajos, Pueblos, Apache and other tribes could provide the crucial percentage points -- around here, enthusiasm for either party is often an act of will. That's the case, even though, historically, Indians have voted overwhelmingly Democratic. Begay expressed the view of many when he said he was leaning toward Kerry, who has the endorsement of tribal leaders and has promised progress on health care, but that really, ëit doesn't matter who becomes president ... we don't get enough out here.í The context for his skepticism, in part, is that unemployment is around 50 percent on the reservation; about 70 percent of it has no running water; and about 60 percent lacks power lines. And while there are 9,000 registered veterans on the reservation, including the now-celebrated Navajo code talkers of World War II, there is no veterans hospital.î] http://www.sfgate.com/ [3] ìDrives Sign up 10,000 Indian Voters,î Leslie Linthicum, Albuquerque Journal, October 10, 2004. All Rights Reserved. [Albuquerque, NM: Only 253 of the 2,242 registered voters at Zuni Pueblo voted in the presidential primary this spring. At 11 percent, Zuni had the dubious distinction of being among the New Mexico tribes with the worst voter turnout. his year, that could change. ëThat's not good enough,í said Arden Kucate, a member of the Zuni tribal council. Embarrassed by the numbers and eager for his people to be heard, Kucate joined the ranks of tribal officials and public interest groups hitting feast days, powwows and rodeos and driving the dirt roads to preach registration and participation in Indian country this year. Overall, Indians in New Mexico and nationwide have been a historically uninvolved and overlooked population, resulting in the lowest participation levels of any demographic group in elections. The goal this year is to get American Indians to vote in unprecedented numbers in November. Nationwide, the goal is 1 million new Indian voters. In New Mexico, goals were set by individual tribes and public interest groups: Laguna Pueblo, 500 new voters; Zuni, 300 new voters; the political group Moving America Forward, 8,000 new voters. The Secretary of State's Office, which keeps track of voter registration, cannot say with certainty how many Indians have been registered in the past or added to the rolls because voting registrations do not include racial information. But the office makes estimates based on registration at precincts in Indian country. The previous estimate was more than 30,000 Indian voters in New Mexico. When registration closed this week, more than 10,000 new Indian voters will have been added to that number, according to Amber Carrillo, the Native American voting coordinator for Moving America Forward. Those numbers represent the work of national, regional and local drives. Moving America Forward, a national group organized by New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to target Hispanic and Indian voters, signed up more than 9,000 new voters alone, Carrillo said. The new registrations include a lot of 18-year-olds who are just becoming eligible to vote and one 92-year-old elder at Zuni Pueblo, a woman who had never registered to vote, she said, because no one had ever asked her.î] http://www.abqjournal.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

Copyright 2004 Financial Times Information, All rights reserved. Copyright 2004 BBC Monitoring/BBC BBC Monitoring International Reports. [ìColumbia: The violent death of Kankuamo leader Victor Hugo Maestre Arias in the Sierra Nevada this week rubbed salt in the wound over an issue that the whole world knows about, but no one dares speak of: that the members of this ethnic group are slowly being eliminated by illegal armed groups. Statistics in possession of the Human Rights Unit of the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Republic indicate that at least 170 Kankuamos have been murdered in the past four years. There are several motives. Judicial investigators, however, maintain that the problem of land (largely in Cesar Department) and the isolation to which these people have been subjected by colonizers are the chief reasons why illegal groups attack this indigenous group. A report that a group of lawyers and the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC) sent on 14 June to Santiago Canton, executive secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the OAS, adds another element - no doubt quite explanatory - to the two factors already mentioned: drug trafficking. As a matter of fact, the document sent to Canton says that illegal groups have, unfortunately, been turning the lands where the Kankuamos are settled into major ëcorridors for trafficking arms, drugs, smuggling activities and mobilizing their troops, and using them to control areas that are of strategic economic and military importance.í In any case, and though practically no one has been charged with these selective murders to date, the Prosecutor General's Office is reluctant to let these cases go unpunished. Investigations into attacks against the Kankuamos are underway at local prosecutor's offices in Valledupar and Barranquilla. In the capital of Atlantico Department (Barranquilla), for example, many of the cases under investigation concern Kankuamos who arrived there as displaced persons. The henchmen's bullets have reached that far. Although non-governmental organizations (NGO) involved in human rights insist that self-defence groups are behind the murders of Kankuamos, Jaime Arias, the tribe's governor, says that paramilitaries and guerrillas are equally responsible. The governor does emphasize, however, that military authorities are involved in some cases.î] [2] ìCasino Card Played in Burial-Site Fight,î Dave McKibben, The Los Angeles Times, October 11, 2004, pg. B3. Copyright 2004 Los Angeles Times, All Rights Reserved. [ìOrange County, CA: The question has been lurking for years: Do Juaneno Indians want to build a casino on land leased by a Roman Catholic high school in San Juan Capistrano? They would have to negotiate difficult bureaucratic hoops to develop a casino -- assuming they want to get into the gambling business. But the casino possibility is being raised by boosters of Junipero Serra High School to call into question Juaneno Indians' opposition to the school's expansion plans. Members of the tribe are fighting the $75-million plans to build athletic fields and a performing arts complex on their ancestors' graves. The 29-acre site, the Indians say, is better suited for a cultural center. Juanenos and other critics of the school's development have mounted a pair of referendum petition drives to reverse the city's approval of the school project. In response, Serra supporters are wrapping up a campaign to get referendum backers to change their minds by completing signature- withdrawal cards. As part of that campaign, JSerra boosters sent voters two mailers, one headlined "Schools Not Casinos." The Juanenos have long been dogged by suggestions that they want to build a casino in south Orange County. Juaneno member Rebecca Robles, president of a group that launched the referendum against Serra, said she is surprised that school boosters played the casino card. Since the Juaneno Band of Mission Indians are not a federally recognized tribe and don't have a reservation, Robles said they couldn't build a casino even if they wanted to. But Cheryl Schmit, director of a Sacramento- based gambling watchdog group, said the Juanenos may be better poised now than ever to build a casino. The Juanenos, she said, are one of several tribes that could benefit from a proposal in Congress requiring the Department of the Interior to review within a year a number of the most long-standing petitions for recognition. The Juanenos first petitioned the Bureau of Indian Affairs for federal recognition in 1982; a splinter group led by Sonia Johnston applied in 1996. ëIt's not far-fetched at all to imagine one of these full-service, Las Vegas-style casinos in that urban area,í said Schmit, of the Stand Up for California group. Damien Shilo, chairman of the tribal faction that first petitioned for federal recognition, said the referendum drive suffered after Serra raised the casino issue. ëWe would hope the voters are smarter than that, but people are scared of casinos,í said Shilo. ëIt's an out-and-out lie and it's shameful, but it's the biggest fear tactic they can use to get people not to sign.í"] [3] ìColumbus Day: Celebrating a Holocaust,î Brenda Norrell, Indian Country Today, October 11, 2004. All Rights Reserved. [ìDenver, CO: While Americans celebrate Columbus Day, American Indians remember one little toddler who played on the quiet banks of Sand Creek, until the morning in 1864 when the American soldiers came. ëThen, as one of the cavalrymen later told it, while his compatriots were slaughtering and mutilating the bodies of all the women and all the children they could catch, he spotted the boy trying to flee,'í wrote David Stannard in ''American Holocaust.'' ëThere was one little child, probably three years old, just big enough to walk through the sand,' wrote a Calvary man. 'The Indians had gone ahead, and this little child was behind following after them. The little fellow was perfectly naked, traveling on the sand. I saw one man get off his horse, at a distance of about seventy-five yards, and draw up his rifle and fire - he missed the child. Another man came up and said, 'Let me try the son of a bitch; I can hit him.' 'He got down off his horse, kneeled down and fired at the little child, but he missed him. A third man came up and made a similar remark, and fired, and the little fellow dropped.' Stannard, board member of the new American Indian Genocide Museum being established in Houston, said the most massive act of genocide in the world followed the arrival of Columbus in the Americas. 'The danger lies in forgetting,'í said Elie Wiesel, in a book of oral histories of the Jewish Holocaust. 'Forgetting, however, will not effect only the dead,'í Stannard said. 'Should it triumph, the ashes of yesterday will cover our hopes for tomorrow. To begin, then, we must try to remember.'î] http://www.indiancountry.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

Chapel Hill and London: University of North Carolina Press, 2002. xviii + 329 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $49.95 (cloth), ISBN 0-8078-2724-X; $19.95 (paper), ISBN 0-8078-5399-2. Reviewed for H-West by Elaine Naylor, Department of History, Mount Allison University Seeing the Elephant in Progressive-Era America Today, circuses are usually performed in in-door arenas; there is little advance public fanfare or even notice, and audiences consist largely of children, their parents and a few nostalgia buffs. What little newspaper coverage there is, is likely to be centered on the less-than-ideal treatment of the circus animals. Indeed, one must be very young or well into middle-age to associate anything magical or adventuresome with the idea of "running off with the circus." Yet, there was a time when the advent of a circus or Wild West show heralded the excited disruption of daily life in small rural communities and large cities alike. Schools and workplaces closed, and people eagerly gathered to see the tents go up, the animals and performers parade through town, and the wonderful acts unfold. Conducted in giant, canvas "big tops," accompanied by side-shows, animal menageries and ethnic congresses, and advertised for weeks in advance, turn-of-the-century circuses, especially the giants like Barnum and Baily which traveled across the country by rail, were a cherished American institution. They reached the zenith of their popularity around 1900 when almost one hundred circuses toured the United States, thirty-eight of which were railroad circuses, several touring from coast to coast each year. The 1920s and 1930s saw their decline, however, as movies, radio and later television--more easily accessible--successfully drew audiences away from the big top. Colorful as it was, is it useful to revisit this institution? Cultural historian Janet M. Davis makes a convincing argument for the relevance of such an endeavor. Suggesting that circuses, while containing certain timeless elements, are historically constructed, she defines them as representative of time and place, "a dazzling mirror of larger historical processes" (p. xii). The heyday of the turn-of-the-century circus coincided with America's search for order (as coined by Robert Weibe), an unstable period characterized by industrialization and the growth of corporate America, nation-building and empire, immigration and urbanization, as well as shifting gender roles and definitions of race. As reflective of the Progressive era, circuses are then an intriguing tool with which to expand our understanding of this seminal period in American history. Drawing upon a large body of materials relating to circuses--daily route books, memoirs of circus people, newspaper editorials, novels about the circus, music, photographs, posters and programs--Davis carefully builds her case. She grounds her analysis in the theory of contested terrain: that class conflict can be found in aspects of popular culture, but she takes the idea further into areas of gender, race, and sexuality. In example after example, Davis clearly shows that normative thinking about "gender, race, labor, sexuality, monopoly formation, nationalism and empire" in the Progressive era was exemplified by the circus (p. xiii). Further, she contends that through reinforcing norms, circuses helped to construct notions of race, gender, and sexuality, etc. At the same time, she argues that one can site conflict over such norms as well as their subversion within circuses. As created by entrepreneurs--many of whom were conservative Republicans supportive of late-nineteenth-century imperialism and corporate capitalism--circuses were structured around "normative tropes about labor, racial inequality, separate spheres and American hegemony" (p. 25). Yet such tropes could be subverted by the circus itself. For instance, circuses contributed to the consolidation of ideas about white identity through exhibitions featuring "people of color working as 'missing links,' 'savages,' and 'ape girls'" (p. 27). At one level they can be seen to fall into the same category with aspects of high culture such as literature, paintings, travel memoirs, etc. which Edward Said argues illustrate how Western imperialists reinforced imperialism through representations of the Other. Yet, because circus acts and displays were live performances wherein the performer met and interacted with the audience, they could serve to re-negotiate and subvert racial norms. Conversely, more obvious subversions might themselves be reconstructed. For instance, many female circus performers appeared to challenge social expectations of women, especially white, middle-class women. Athletic, scantily dressed, free from household chores, often earning more money than did male performers, circus women hardly exemplified turn-of-the century womanly ideals. But circus publicists emphasized that behind the scenes, female circus stars were domestic paragons: happily married women who liked to cook and sew. Thus, female circus performers reinforced gender stereotypes even as they challenged them. Although many female and male performers dressed in close-fitting leotards and tights which blurred sexual identities, lesser female performers such as the ballet girls whose performances stressed their sexuality were made-up and costumed so that they would appear "oriental." Depending upon their role, performers' dress might therefore subvert or strengthen sexual stereotypes, especially about the Other and the purity of white, middle-class women. Of particular interest to H-West readers is Davis's treatment of Wild West shows. She suggests that the shows were much like circuses, serving to both assert and subvert norms. For instance, while Buffalo Bill Cody and others worked to make their shows authentic celebrations of "the West," the nostalgic tone of such performances supported notions about closing frontiers and vanishing Native Americans. Yet, subversion of stereotypes could occur as when two little boys were surprised to the point of tears to find, upon meeting them, that "Wild West Indians" spoke perfectly good English (p. 184). Arguably, _The Circus Age_ is more persuasive in maintaining that circuses, as reflective of Progressive-era America, reinforced developing norms. It is less so in its contention that circuses could subvert norms. By their very nature, circuses were extraordinary events. They came and they went, and circus goers returned home. Whatever subversion people experienced during the circus, more familiar thinking would reassert itself. Certainly, subversions of such norms could and did occur; I am just not convinced that circuses were "contested terrain." This quibble aside, Davis has written an outstanding book which makes an important addition to Progressive-era history, east and west. Copyright (c) 2004 by H-Net, all rights reserved.

The Ose amendment would waive the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990, the 1996 Executive Order 13007 on Sacred Sites and the Archeological Resources Protection Act Amendments of 1979. These federal requirements were enacted by Congress and implemented by Democratic and Republican Administrations to fulfill promises we made to Native Americans that their places of worship, resting places for the deceased and religious freedom will not be disturbed or intruded upon again and instead will be protected and preserved. Waiving these requirements would preclude tribal and archeological notice and consultation if Native American graves are inadvertently or deliberately disturbed or if human remains are disinterred. Just last month, President Bush signed an Executive Memorandum in honor of the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian that, among other things, reiterates the adherence to principles set forth in a previous Executive Order relating to tribal consultation and coordination. This amendment violates the spirit of that document because it would preclude tribal consultation on Native American burial grounds, religious shrines and cultural and historical sites located in the construction areas for this security barrier. We urge you to help us fight to protect these federal laws and mandates that provide for tribal consultation on federal activities that could harm Native American sacred places, including burial grounds, or cultural, ceremonial or historical sites. That is why we urge you to vote NO on the Ose Amendment. Sincerely, /s/ /s/ /s/ DALE E.

Christopher Columbus won't be celebrated today at the newly opened National Museum of the American Indian on the Mall. But there won't be a Columbus Day protest, either. Instead, the man credited with "discovering" America in 1492 will simply be ignored while native people gather to reflect on more than 20,000 years of survival in this hemisphere. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2113> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> A Test Of Native Power; Indian Vote Could Be Key In Several Swing States On a crisp mountain day, tourists and Native Americans have come to the annual San Geronimo Feast Day for the fry bread and mutton stew, to browse for crafts and to watch a band of trickster clowns climb a massive pole erected in the center of this historic adobe village.

The 230 protesters who were arrested were charged with loitering and disobedience of a lawful order. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2119> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Wowi in Washington; Would Ishi feel at home in America's newest museum? What would Ishi think of America's newest museum? The fabled California Indian hid out in the mountains for 50 years after most of his Yahi tribe was massacred by white settlers after the Gold Rush. Anthropologists proclaimed Ishi "America's last Stone Age Indian" and brought him to San Francisco as a living museum exhibit. When Ishi died in 1916, his brain was pickled and mailed in a brown paper package to the Smithsonian, which wanted the brain of the last Yahi as a curiosity for scientific study. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2123> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> 'Fair share' depends on who's asked; Indian casinos' payout to state spurs debate The Proposition 68 gambling initiative campaign folded last week, but its mantra "You pay your fair share. Why don't they?" is likely to continue hounding California's $5 billion Indian gaming industry. Political analysts say that's inevitable in a state that has experienced astounding casino growth over the past four years. Promises to extract a fair share from tribes helped Arnold Schwarzenegger win last year's gubernatorial recall election. But authorities in ethics, politics and federal law have differing opinions on what "fair share" should mean in regard to tribes and the state. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2120> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Gambling props in trouble?

"It just goes to show that even with tens of millions of dollars, you can't sell the people of California something they don't want to buy," said Todd Harris, a spokesman for the governor's campaign against both the gambling measures. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2121> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Tribal leaders hail setback for California proposition While lobbying and voting is critical for tribes, their ultimate success will depend on the perceptions of their non-Indian neighbors, said Anthony Pico, chairman of the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians near San Diego.

In Montana, it,s on the November ballot. For one reporter, tobacco is an addiction. http://www.missoulanews.com/News/News.asp?no=4377 I was returning to the Independent office in Kalispell after looking into a news story in Ronan, the engine of my trusty old station wagon winding it out on a sunny September afternoon, when I saw it: a large billboard to the side of Highway 93 advertising the Montana Tobacco Quit Line. Next to a 1-888 number was a picture of an ashtray full of extinguished cigarettes. As the miles passed, I thought a lot about that billboard, having decided to quit smoking˜which had been among my favorite activities for the past seven years˜on Aug. 30. What kept that billboard churning through my mind was not the phone number, nor thoughts of whether I might call it. Instead, I recalled the sign,s drab ashtray and thought, „Man, it looked like they hardly even smoked some of those cigarettes. „What a waste.‰ Such is the excruciating logic of the struggling ex-smoker. I should have sensed that smoking would pose a problem for me. As far as bad omens go, check this one out: The very first time I ever smoked a cigarette, my mother caught me red-handed. In retrospect, it wasn,t the brightest move on my part. I had taken one of my father,s Carltons into my room. The problem is that my room was in the basement. There was only one window, offering little ventilation. As fate would have it, my mother returned home from work early and came down to the basement to say hello as I was about halfway through my first smoke. I did my best to hastily extinguish the cigarette in an ashtray, covering that ashtray with a nearby book. It was no use. Aside from the fact that the room reeked of cigarette, there was a curious waft of smoke coming from underneath my copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo,s Nest. „Have you been smoking?‰ my mother asked. I considered my options, which were either admitting that I had indeed been smoking or trying to convince her that Ken Kesey,s prose was so hot it literally set pages afire. „UhŽno?‰ In the end, I told her that I wasn,t particularly enjoying the cigarette anyhow, and that I didn,t plan to smoke ever again. Of course, some plans change. Now, eight years and more than 10,000 cigarettes later, I pulled my station wagon into the driveway of my Whitefish apartment with that Quit Line billboard still in my head. For the past two weeks I had essentially quit smoking, except for one relapse night when I was drinking with some acquaintances in the bars of Bigfork. Every day was a struggle between the forces of smoking and nonsmoking, and I had even divided myself into two split personalities: Smoker Mike and Nonsmoker Mike. Smoker Mike would think things like, „One cigarette isn,t going t o make much difference.‰ Then Nonsmoker Mike would retort, often aloud, „You,re not getting a cigarette, you bastard.‰ This worked well for the most part, with the exception of that one morning on my walk to the office when I told myself, „You,re not gettin g a cigarette, you bastard,‰ without realizing that a middle-aged man was walking within earshot behind me. He tried not to look at me as he hurried past the crazy guy who was talking to himself. But now I was home. I let the sadly alluring ashtray billboard slip out of my mind, and as I heated some macaroni in a pot of boiling water for a belated dinner, I turned on one of the two television stations I can receive to watch a bit of Late Night with Conan O,Brien. During a commercial break, NBC cut to one of those „The More You Know‰ public service announcements. In this one, a blonde actress from some television program I,ve never seen looked into the camera and said, „There,s one way to quit smoking that works every time.‰ There was a pause for dramatic effect, allowing me enough time to wonder, What is it? Please tell me. I,m drowning here! „Don,t start,‰ she concluded, just before the „The More You Know ‰ logo swept across the screen. You bitch! OK, that may be a bit harsh, but if the ad was aimed at stopping kids from starting in the first place, they could have framed it that way, rather than raising the hopes of those like myself. NBC wasn,t going to save me. Desperate, the next day I turned to the Montana Tobacco Quit Line or, should I say, the „Montana‰ Tobacco Quit Line, since I found out that the phone worker I spoke with was actually located in a respiratory hospital in Denver, Colo. Sitting in the Independent,s Kalispell office, overlooking Main Street, I played percussion with reckless abandon on my desk as I listened to the Quit Line,s automated attendant. I used to do this all the time back in grade school˜engage in spontaneous percussion, that is˜and I sometimes wonder if maybe I started smoking simply to have something less toddler-like to do with my hands. Even as I held the phone receiver with one hand, my other was constantly in motion, like Def Leppard,s famed one-armed drummer, turning a computer screen into a cymbal and a keypad into a high hat. None of this would be happening if I could just smoke one cigarette, but instead I listened to the recording. „This call may be monitored for quality assurance. To listen to information about tobacco use and Native Americans, please press 1. To speak with a Quit Line counselor, please press 2.‰ I pressed 2. Within a minute, I was speaking with a young woman who, at 24, was just a year younger than myself. Her name was Christine. In real life, I,m sure Christine is a delightful young woman. But over the phone, in the midst of my nicotine tantrum, her chipper positivity was almost oppressive. It wasn,t her fault, but the struggling ex-smoker has an easier time singing along to „Anarchy in the U.K.‰ than to „Free to b e You and Me,‰ if you know what I mean. I didn,t need a cozy support cushion to keep me from lighting up again. I needed a psychotic ex-Marine drill sergeant who,d been dishonorably discharged for shaving off the eyebrows of new recruits who couldn,t quite run a six-minute mile. Nonetheless, I,d come this far, so I told Christine my story˜that I had basically quit, but that when I had a couple beers at a bar I still allowed myself to smoke because, I told her, I find the thought that I,m never going to have a cigarette again for the rest of my life kind of intimidating. „Yeah, that is kind of scary,‰ Christine said, „But you sound like a strapping young guy, so you can do it.‰ What? Was Christine flirting with me over the „Montana‰ Quit Line? I decided to ask Christine if she,d ever smoked, and she said that she had, but had quit five years ago. I considered this a good sign, figuring she would know where I was coming from. Then she said, „When you smoke, you stimulate something in your brain called the reward pathway. So your brain thinks it,s something good, even though it,s something bad. It,s like if you drink gasoline, you know it,s bad for you, but you don,t have that reward pathway saying the gasoline is good for you, you know?‰ No, I didn,t know, and now I was wondering if maybe I wouldn,t be so bad off after all if I went back to smoking. At least I wasn,t chugging gasoline. Things didn,t get much better from there. I asked Christine if she thought I could eventually phase out smoking while still engaging in a cigarette or two when drinking. I was kind of hoping for a yes-or-no answer, but instead she told me that if I was going to smoke in bars, I should at least buy generic cigarettes like GPCs. „If you were to go buy a pack of GPCs, that,s not something you,re going to pull out in a bar and be like, ŒYeah, I,m a big smoker with my GPCs.,‰ This time I just came out and said it: „I have no idea what you mean by that.‰ „Just that it,s not considered a nice cigarette.‰ Apparently Christine,s five years away from the world of professional smoking had put her out of touch, because to the recent quitter, any cigarette is a „nice cigarette.‰ A stranger could offer me a pack of Fecal Matter brand cigarettes and I,d be tempted. This wasn,t working out. NBC couldn,t save me, and neither could the „Montana‰ Quit Line. I was going to have to do this myself. Before I hung up, I asked Christine if she had any parting advice. She told me that some quitters find it helpful to do research on tobacco. This I could do. I am a reporter, after all. LAWYERS, SMOKES AND MONEY One doesn,t need to dig deep to find that tobacco use is a huge issue in both the United States and Montana. On the national level, opening arguments in a federal lawsuit against large tobacco companies began on Wednesday, Sept. 22. The government will argue that big tobacco markets to children and has deceived consumers about the dangers of smoking. If the government wins the case, tobacco companies could be forced to pony up $280 billion, possibly sending them into bankruptcy. In Montana, voters will be asked to give their collective „yea‰ or „nay‰ to Initiative 149, assuming the Supreme Court doesn,t step in a t the last minute and remove the ballot measure at the urging of the anti-tobacco-tax group known as Veterans, Taxpayers, Montanans and Tobacco Retailers, Wholesalers and Manufacturers Against I-149. The initiative would more than double the tax on a pack of cigarettes, from 70 cents to $1.70, and increase the tax on chewing tobacco from 35 cents to 85 cents. Other tobacco products would undergo a tax increase from 25 to 50 percent of their wholesale prices. The initiative is sponsored by more than 20 statewide groups˜including the AARP, the American Cancer Society and the Montana Nurses, Association˜under the umbrella of Healthy Kids Healthy Montana. A similar initiative, I-115, which would have raised the tax on a pack of cigarettes by 25 cents, was proposed on the 1990 Montana ballot, but anti-tobacco-tax interests were able to defeat the initiative by a 59 to 41 percent margin, in part by drawing on approximately $1.5 million in advocacy money from tobacco corporations during the election cycle, according to the National Voting Rights Institute, a nonpartisan campaign finance legal center. Perhaps surprisingly, this time around big tobacco isn,t flooding Montana with advocacy money. According to campaign reports filed in early September, the anti-tobacco-tax group had raised only $100, in comparison to Healthy Kids Healthy Montana,s $75,625. This may be in part due to the perception that if I-149 makes it onto the ballot, it will likely pass. Both gubernatorial candidates have endorsed the initiative, and a recent Lee Newspapers poll found that 59 percent of likely voters would vote in favor of I-149, raising the tobacco tax to generate money for programs such as health care, while only 30 percent would vote against it. With such numbers, it,s no wonder that opponents have funneled their dollars not toward an ad campaign, but toward lawyers to try to keep the measure off the ballot in the first place, says C.B. Pearson, campaign manger for Healthy Kids Healthy Montana. Meanwhile, the anti-tobacco-tax group has hired attorney Kati Kintli to represent the interests of tobacco wholesalers and convenience store owners. Kintli argued before District Judge Dorothy McCarter of Helena this summer that the ballot measure would allocate state money˜a job reserved for the Legislature˜and that it addressed multiple subjects, which would make it unconstitutional. I-149 advocates dismiss the legislative authority charge as unfounded, given that even in 2002 when voters passed I-146, which earmarked $18 million of the state,s annual $30 million tobacco lawsuit money for tobacco prevention and children,s insurance, the Legislature circumvented the initiative by passing a bill allowing legislators to spend the $30 million as they saw fit in order to grapple with the state,s budget woes. Ultimately, Judge McCarter ruled on Aug. 31 that the new tobacco tax initiative was constitutional and could therefore remain on the ballot. Kintli is now appealing to the Montana Supreme Court, but Pearson says it,s unlikely that the court will overturn the district judge, particularly since the high court has already decided not to get involved with another current ballot initiative, I-147, on cyanide mining. Repeated calls to Kintli were not returned as of press time. Kristin Page Nei, director of state government relations with the American Cancer Society in Missoula, says that if I-149 passes, it will save money on health care costs and cut down on smoking. „For every 10 percent you raise the price of a pack, you see up to a 7 percent reduction in youth consumption,‰ Nei says. Nei has helped to organize the pro-I-149 campaign of Healthy Kids Healthy Montana, and the group optimistically estimates that if the tax is passed, aside from just discouraging possible youth smokers, 6,400 adult smokers in Montana will quit. Whatever the ballot outcome, tobacco is likely to remain a contentious and recurring issue in Montana politics. For starters, it,s costing the state $216 million annually in health care costs, according to the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services. Also, it,s impossible to deny that tobacco is taking its toll on the state,s citizens. According to the Governor,s Advisory Council on Tobacco Youth Prevention, about four people die from tobacco-related disease in Montana daily, making it the No. 1 cause of preventable death and disease in the state (the same holds true for the country). „More people die of tobacco-related diseases than from alcohol, motor vehicle accidents, suicides, AIDS, homicides, illegal drugs and fires combined,‰ the council writes in its strategic five-year plan. In addition to increased risks of cancer, emphysema and heart disease, smoking carries with it the risk of impotence for men and birth irregularities for women with children. And secondhand smoke significantly harms non-smokers in several ways, some of which are only recently coming to light; a new Helena case study published in the British Medical Journal this year found that the numbers of patients going to the local hospital for acute myocardial infarction (heart disease caused by decreased blood flow) dropped significantly during the six months in which Helena,s now-repealed smoking ban was in effect. So smoking cigarettes is bad for you. Not exactly a news flash. Many more people know these facts now than in the „bad old days‰ when cigarettes were advertised as healthy. My grandmother, Millie Feldman, did not know these facts when she began smoking. Millie was a poster child for smoking, and later for quitting. She smoked steadily for more than 60 years, this eternally tan Florida retiree, her skin as wrinkled and adorable as a prune,s. She spent many long summer hours on the back porch of the house where I grew up, and when I was at school and my parents were at work, her company was Cuddles, the neighbors, Lhasa Apso, a „summer read‰ romance and a pac k of Kents. She seemed content. In her early 80s, she asked a doctor if she should quit. The doctor asked how long she,d been smoking, and when she told him, he responded that quitting would probably be too much of a shock to her system. But later, another doctor told her that she should quit˜had to, in fact˜because she had emphysema. Incredibly, my grandmother quit before completing her seventh decade of smoking. Toward the end, her lungs were so bad that she couldn,t even sleep lying down. I saw all this, and yet I embarked on the smoker,s path. Why? Was I a masochist? THIS SMOKER,S LIFE I was hoping to find an answer in statistics, so I went to see E.B. Eislein of Kalispell,s A&A Research. Eislein, whose pony-tailed gray hair seems more fitting for a roadie than a statistician, has just completed a study of smoking in Flathead County and has drawn some unexpected conclusions that I hoped would shed some light on my own situation. „What I,ve concluded is that smoking is part of a lifestyle that includes drinking alcohol, not wearing seatbelts and not eating breakfast,‰ Eislein says. In addition, Eislein found that smokers are less likely to drink two glasses of water a day, less likely to eat two or more helpings of fruits or vegetables in a day, more likely to watch TV and less likely to ride a bicycle. I began to wonder about this crowd. Years ago, I officially tossed myself into their midst when I checked the smoker box on my college dorm room application sheet. At the time, I actually smoked only occasionally, but I figured that my chances of having the coolest possible roommates would be increased that way; I had fallen victim to the popular mythology that smokers are „cool.‰ (For the record, the coolest people I met at college were nonsmokers.) Now, years later, I come to find that the ship on which I,ve set sail is manned by TV-watching, safety-shunning, fruit-abstaining, water-hating losers. Worse yet, I was one of them. Maybe I don,t watch much TV and maybe I wear a seatbelt, but I definitely do skimp on the vegetables, unless French fries count. Most of my water intake comes from whatever is absorbed in the pasta when I boil up some Annie,s macaroni and cheese, and I think the last time I actually made myself a proper breakfast in the morning was at the start of the Gulf War. The first one. Nonetheless, there is an unspoken bond that is formed when you and another share a common vice, and consequently I,ve had some great conversations with smokers over the last seven years that I wouldn,t trade for a new pair of lungs. Without being a smoker, I might never have befriended that homeless man in Manhattan who could recite Edgar Allen Poe,s „The Raven‰ from beginning to end. I never would have bon ded with that helicopter logger in the Yaak who taught me that beer and guns mix just fine, as long as you,re not really drunk. Some of the best conversations I,ve had with my parents have taken place over a smoke. It might sound like I,m trying to defend smoking, and in a way I am, even though I,ve quit. You see, what most anti-smoking crusaders fail to acknowledge˜and what ultimately hurts their credibility in the world of smokerdom˜is that even though smoking can kill a person, it does have its good points. The matter isn,t black and white, but gray as ash. A NEW TOBACCO WAY „This call may be monitored for quality assurance,‰ the automated attendant at the „Montana‰ Tobacco Quit Line said into my phone receiver. „To listen to information about tobacco use and Native Americans, please press 1. To speak with a Quit Line counselor, please press 2.‰ This time, I pressed 1 and heard a different recording. „A basic understanding from which we can start our dialogue is that tobacco can both give life and take lifeŽOf all the contributions Native Americans have given the world, tobacco is probably the best known. However, when most people think of tobacco today, they don,t consider the depths of its story, or the unique role this powerful plant has had throughout our story.‰ My curiosity was aroused, and so a few days later, I jumped at the opportunity to learn more about the unique relationship between American Indians and tobacco. On Sept. 25 I sat in a conference room in Big Mountain,s Outpost Building in Whitefish while Lawrence Shorty, a member of the Navajo Nation and a tobacco prevention coordinator at the University of North Carolina, held up a large, yellowish-orange leaf. „What has been done to our sacred plant?‰ Shorty asked an audience of about 100 American Indian youth, tobacco prevention workers and tribal leaders. It was a tobacco leaf that he held. Dramatically, Shorty twisted the leaf over his head again and again, almost with rage. „Realize that the tobacco industry has twisted our plant into something that causes addiction,‰ he said. Shorty was the keynote speaker at a two-day, University of Montana-sponsored American Indian conference on fighting tobacco abuse titled, „Many Voices, One Message: Keep Tobacco Sacred.‰ Though tobacco was the subject at hand, my smoking urges were controllable; since I was taking notes most of the time, I had something to do with my hands. „My grandfather grew tobacco,‰ Shorty continued. „He saw it as a way to bridge the gap between Indian folks, white folks and black folks.‰ Instantly, I knew this was going to be a different kind of tobacco-prevention conference. If Shorty,s talk didn,t make that clear, the fact that the conference began with a ceremonial tobacco ceremony where tribal elders passed a pipe to the male youths did. As the pipe made its way around the circle, Danny Vollin, a tribal elder and education specialist at UM,s Center for Technical Assistance and Training, said, „If you pay attention, you can see the difference between what we do here and smoking a cigarette. There, you can see the chemicals coming out.‰ Of course, all tobacco is addictive, chemical additives or not. For Smoker Mike, it was tempting to think that perhaps if I just used this kind of tobacco, all would be right, but Nonsmoker Mike quickly reprimanded his mischievous counterpart. All my phony bargaining would lead to nothing but the fomentation of an American Spirit brand loyalist, who may not be ingesting all the extra chemicals, but who is nonetheless a prisoner of addiction. Still, for the first time, I saw that there was a completely different tobacco ideology than I had previously been exposed to. Unlike most of the world, which basically uses tobacco solely as a drug, Indian tribes have several uses for the plant. It is sometimes hung on a wall to suck up bad talk and sickness, Vollin said. Theda New Breast, a Blackfeet leader, stated that it could be used to change the spirit of a place. „Bring it to a hotel to get rid of the bad dreams of the old white guy that stayed in the room last night,‰ she said. Tobacco is also used as an offering to help the dead pass over and make the journey to the spirit world. Lois Ellen Frank, author of Foods of the Southwest Indian Nations, added that „Whenever food comes into being, we make an offering with tobacco.‰ Vollin, whose face was partially masked by thick glasses and a baseball cap, said that tobacco has˜like many aspects of native culture˜been taken out of context and distorted. „The tobacco companies are making people nothing more than a profit,‰ Vollin said. And profiting they are, not just with American Indians, but with all smokers of commercial tobacco. According the U.S. Department of Agriculture,s National Network for Health, more than 50 million Americans spend more than $38 billion on tobacco each year, creating a $45 billion a year industry in the United States, according to Mother Jones. In addition to profiting from the slow death of millions of Americans, activists charge big tobacco with environmental degradation stemming from the use of chemical pesticides on tobacco plants. The damage doesn,t stop with humans, either; RJR Nabisco has drawn the ire of animal rights activists including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals by forcing test baboons to smoke cocaine through the company,s Premier brand cigarettes while the company was researching the brand,s performance as a delivery system for nicotine. For these reasons and many others, Lori New Breast, director of the Blackfeet Prevention Program, a Blackfeet tribal member and sister to Theda, told those at the conference that it,s time for some changes. „Our relationship to tobacco is not static,‰ New Breast said. „If yo u heard what Danny [Vollin] said this morning, you,re talking about reforming the traditional relationship. The destruction of commercial tobacco will lead to a new tobacco way. For the Blackfeet here today, we,re already in the midst of a new tobacco way.‰ That way includes using tobacco only for sacred purposes. After two days of nonstop tobacco talk, I wondered if I could cultivate my own sacred relationship with tobacco, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this was probably just Smoker Mike looking for another taste of his old reward. Even if I started out with good intentions, I knew I,d ultimately wind up smoking a „sacred‰ cigarett e to celebrate the spirit of a laundromat parking lot. I,d just have to accept the fact that I,d been raised in a culture where tobacco is not sacred. Any attempt to change my outlook on it at this point would be addled addict,s logic. The next morning, the conference continued as the sun gradually rose over the dew-covered spruce trees of Big Mountain. I listened to Bob Cardinal, a member of the Cree Nation from the Enoch Reserve in British Columbia. Cardinal is a soft-spoken elder who delights in the mystery of the stories passed down to him by his ancestors, and he described the path of the smoker not as a mistake, but as „learning pains.‰ Then he handed out rocks that had been blessed in a sweat lodge from a leather pouch. The one he offered me was smooth, and green as the spruce. „If you ever want to smoke,‰ Cardinal said, „just hold that rock clo se to your heart.‰ As the conference came to a close with drumming and song, I watched as everyone locked hands and arms and danced in a circle, slumping down and then quickly popping up with each beat of the drum while working their ways around a conference room that definitely wasn,t designed for circle dances. I was putting my notebook away when a young woman grabbed my hand. „Come on,‰ she said. And then I was dancing too. In a strange way, I felt as though my joining the circle was important. Smokers, when engaging in their defining activity in a pack, will often stand in a circle. Now I saw that there were other circles to join. It became clear to me then that what I had liked most about smoking˜the communal aspect of it˜could be found elsewhere, and was limited only by one,s own hesitancy to join the circle. Most circles don,t even care if you don,t have a lighter. CONSTANT CRAVINGS I haven,t smoked since that day of the circle dance, even though I,ve gone to a bar since. In fact, the day after the conference, I met Traci Gulledge, the Flathead city-county health promotion specialist, at the Great Northern bar in Whitefish. We talked about her work in promoting a tobacco-free lifestyle in the local schools, about how movies often make smoking look cool, about how my girlfriend will probably be excited to no longer have to deal with the „licking an ashtray‰ sensation that occurs when a nonsmoker kisses a smoker. We spent a good deal of time on whether kids might be more affected by straight facts or by some of the scare tactics she,s tried, such as a black pig,s lung preserved in a ba g of formaldehyde or a prop called „Mr. Gross Mouth.‰ As perverse as it might sound to the nonsmoker, even all this „icky‰ smoking talk made me want to light up. We had just finished our second beer when the urge became lip-bitingly strong. As my craving reached its zenith, I wondered aloud if I might be one of those people who will always be addicted to something. Lately, my cigarette withdrawal has led to an astronomical consumption of Jolly Rancher candies, which sometimes makes me feel as though I,ve merely shifted myself from the fast track to lung cancer to the fast track to tooth decay. „Maybe I should just be like Robert Palmer and be ŒAddicted to Love, ,‰ I said, instantly realizing that if I had a cigarette in my mouth this unfortunate sentence never would have come out. I dug into my pocket and found the shiny green rock that Bob Cardinal had given me. My fingertips worked over the smooth texture of that stone for the next 45 minutes until eventually I didn,t want a cigarette anymore. At long last, I had found something to do with my hands. American Express used to market its credit cards with the slogan „Don ,t leave home without it.‰ For many years, however, it was cigarettes that I wouldn,t leave home without. Sometimes I still think I feel a pack in my pocket when it,s not there, like a recent amputee who has lost his legs but yet still feels phantom pains. But now, it,s that rock I don,t leave home without˜a green stone that stays in my wallet for when I need it, like I did that night at the Great Northern. Two days later I came home from work to find a Tobacco Cessation Guide from the „Montana‰ Tobacco Quit Line in my mailbox. The booklet feature s photos of smiling people holding pets and going for hikes. I wanted to be like these people, not the guy who swears at NBC public service announcements and scares strangers on the street. On the first page of text, the brochure asked if I knew that tobacco is „the only legal product that is deadly when used as intended.‰ I thought back to the morning tobacco ceremony at the Big Mountain conference, the pipe that was passed with traditional song from Bob Cardinal to Danny Vollin, then to a group of respectful young boys, each inhaling a small puff or two amid the prayers. And then I wondered who gets to define what tobacco was „intended‰ for . As for my own definition, it,s not complete just yet. I know Smoker Mike would tell you that nicotine is the most alluring stimulant ever created. Nonsmoker MikeŽwell, he,d probably say the same thing. That ,s why he had to give it up. mike@missoulanews.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 16:06:35 -0700 From: Andre Cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Census Data (community) --Apple-Mail-31-857995396 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed U.S. Census Bureau Facts for Features: American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month (November) 10/6/2004 2:15:00 PM To: National Desk Contact: U.S. Census Bureau, 301-763-3030 or pio@census.gov WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month originated in 1915 when the president of the Congress of American Indian Associations issued a proclamation declaring the second Saturday in May of each year as American Indian Day.

I really need some ideas on what kind of foods I should give them for breakfast. Any suggestions? Signed a Concerned Parent Dear Parent: Thanks for such an easy question. Breakfast should be a taste delight to start off the day in a good way. I recommend a hearty breakfast cereal with lots of sugar for a days worth of energy. If there is not enough out of the box feel free to add honey or brown sugar for a lip-smacking delicacy. Some fruity snack is always important so try a breakfast toaster treat with lots of icing. If that is not available balloon bread and jam is a good alternative. Don,t forget Breakfast is one of the three most important meals of the day. Reasonable Health Practioners Response: Breakfast is very important, as it will help your children focus on the days events. A low sugar, high-energy meal will give them the nutrition they need. Oatmeal with raisins or a whole wheat Farina warm cereal is a great start to the day. Avoid high sugar cereals as they will add unneeded calories and the sugar rush can cause a let down later in the day (not to mention problems with diabetes). Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter is a wholesome treat that will energize them for the long day ahead. You can also try eggs with cheese and spices, fresh fruit, warmed up pizza yogurt, string cheese or a whole-wheat bagel with light cream cheese to tempt them in the morning. Be creative but remember they need whole foods to give them all day brainpower and oomph.

The Navajo Nation has not taken an official position in the case,= but Shirley said it may be time to move toward a settlement. Two of the= attorneys in the lawsuit, Dennis Gingold and associate Keith Harper, told a= standing room only crowd at the Nageezi Chapter House on Monday that they= would push forward with the case. They contended federal officials don't= want the lawsuit to proceed to a judgment because it will force open the= record of incompetence, mismanagement and stealing of the past 117 years. = Cobell's attorneys maintain a complete and thorough accounting, which is= standard in non-Indian trusts, has never been given.

All Rights= Reserved. =20 [=93St. Louis - A decision that may have a nationwide ripple effect to= uphold tribal sovereignty favored the Prairie Band Potawatomi and allows= the tribe to collect its own motor fuel taxes at a reservation business.=20 The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the lower United= States District Court of Kansas finding for the state of Kansas. The= court considered tribal sovereignty and the unique relationship between= tribes and federal government and had to decide in whose best interest the= collection of the motor fuel tax was greater, the state or the tribe. The= court opinion favored the tribe. The written opinion stated: =91The= Nation's interests are particularly strong. Tribes have a recognized= interest in raising revenues for essential government programs, that= interest is strongest when the revenues are derived from value generated on= the reservation by activities involving the tribes and when the taxpayer is= the recipient of the tribal services.'=92 =20 The Nation Station, as it is called, is located next to the tribal casino= and most of the patrons that purchase fuel are casino customers and tribal= members. Seventy-three percent of the fuel customers are casino patrons or= casino employees and another 11 percent live or work elsewhere on the= reservation. The court determined that the tribe did not advertise= discount motor fuel to attract customers and that the station was not= located where it would attract passersby. The cost of the fuel is just two= cents lower than most other motor fuel operations and the tribe imposes its= own tax. =91'The tribe is collecting $200,000 to $300,000 per year in= taxes. The nation's tax is 20 cents for gasoline and 22 cents for diesel.= The state tax is 23 and 25 cents,=92 said David Prager, attorney for the= Prairie Band Potawatomi. =91'This decision supports compacts for all= tribes with full tax credit if it is used for government purposes. This is= a nationwide decision,'=92 Prager said. =20 The motor fuel tax collected by the nation is used for road and bridge= construction and repair. The tribe maintains about two thirds of the road= system on the 121-square-mile reservation while the county maintains the= remainder. No funds are given to the county for road maintenance. The= state argued that is lost revenue because the nation did not collect the= taxes. The state collects approximately $300 million in motor fuel taxes= each year.=94] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -= -=20 FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN= staff.

Because the NMAI, as well as the events surrounding the opening of the museum, are of overwhelming significance, this issue welcomes submissions on all aspects of the museum and the opening. Topics can include, but are not limited to critical analyses of the following: (1) the context and overall significance in terms of cultural sovereignty; (2) the choice the NMAI made not to focus on genocide and US/Tribal relations in favor of an emphasis on peopleness and continuance and the implications of that choice; (3) the opening ceremony, procession, speeches and related events; (4) the building design, landscape, placement on the mall, and overall use of space; (5) the three major exhibits, "Our Universes," "Our Peoples," and "Our Lives;" (6) the NMAI film by Santa Clara filmmaker, Beverly Singer; (7) the NMAI as a sacred or semi-sacred site; (8) the NMAI and international Indigenous issues (9) the NMAI as cultural tourism and the marketing of the museum; (10) the media coverage of the opening; (11) and finally, and most importantly, Native responses to the NMAI and opening. Due to the timeliness of this topic, the deadline for submissions is December 1, 2004. The issue is expected to appear in vol. 29 #3 (2005).

Please forward and print (one copy or many) of this questionnaire and distribute as widely as possible. Have your children hand it to their teachers, post it on the bulletin board at your community center, discuss it with your friends and neighbors, mail a copy to your Mayor, City Council and House Representatives, Senators, Governor and President -- why are politicians neglecting to do something about this absurd & abominable holy day (that IS what holiday means) that only serves the purpose of rubbing salt into some of the old, festering wounds of so many in our multi-cultural society. WHY DO WE CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY? What is the meaning of this day to each of us, or is there any meaning at all? Please, bring this up as a topic of discussion with others, and let me know what kind of responses you hear. Questions To Ponder As Columbus Day nears 1. Columbus sailed into the Caribbean and never even set foot in what is now known as the United States. So, why do we, in the United States, give him one of our 8 Federal holidays? 2. Why would Columbus be given credit for "discovering" the Americas anyway, when we all know those lands were already inhabited and had been for thousands of years? Didn't the inhabitants of those lands discover them? Look at any map of the US and see the many, many, many states, cities and towns that all bear the Native American names of people and peoples who once populated those regions: Illinois, Oklahoma, Cheyene, Nantuckett, Milwaukee, Yuma, Omaha, Witchita, Tallahassee, Mississippi, Muskogee, Tennessee, Allegheny, Missouri, Kentucky, Huron, Tuscalloosa and on and on and on...... 3. Knowing that Native Americans were already here, and Columbus never was here, why does anyone go along with the myth that "Columbus Discovered America", when we all know it is not true? 4. Why aren't we taught the whole truth about Columbus' actions and the devastating consequences of those actions? Why are we only told about Columbus, who as a boy who always wanted to sail and then when he got older Spain provided him three ships & he sailed across the ocean and DISCOVERED A NEW WORLD! (where millions of Taino had lived for thousands of years and which we now call the Caribbean). Why are we only taught about that FIRST voyage, and not the other 3 voyages, when all hell broke loose? Why aren't we taught about how on the second voyage, unlike the first when Columbus only had 3 small old ships, Columbus was given 17 large ships and 1,500 armed men eagerly signed up for the chance to go to the "New World" with hopes of getting rich quick on the gold to be found there? Also, why aren't we taught about the greed and brutality of the Spaniards against the Taino (who have been remembered as "naked savages" in our history books, if at all), and how the Taino were murdered and enslaved on that second voyage? Why are we not taught about the third voyage & how when King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella of Spain heard about Columbus' actions in the "New World" he was sent back to Spain in chains to stand trial for his crimes, was convicted and stripped of his titles? Or, how the Spaniards tricked 80 of the Taino leaders into a hut and burned them alive? Isn't to omit the ugly part of the truth considered LYING BY OMISSION? Then, that is what our schools are doing when they only teach about the first voyage, they are lying by omission to our students, and we as a improperly educated country have a holiday for an evil, greedy, slave-trading, murderer. 5. Some people say he is worthy of the honor of a holiday for his nautical genius, but the Vikings sailed across the ocean to North America 500 years before, Marco Polo sailed to China & India 300 years prior and the Chinese set foot upon the very shores that Columbus did 71 years prior to the arrival of Columbus, the difference being, Columbus "claimed" the land and cites the Papal Bulls with giving him the authority to do so if no one disputes the action, and Columbus according to his journal, was careful to add that no one disputed it at the time, while admitting at the same time that they could not understand each other, so how could they be expected to understand what his flag-planting and pronunciations meant? 6. Many people will argue that Columbus brought Western Civilization to what is now known as the United States, and that is the reason the US bestows upon him the honor of a holiday. But how can we make that correlation when Columbus, working for Spain, came in 1492 and the European colonizers who came here TWO HUNDRED years later, came from England? If Columbus is worthy of being given credit for this "achievement", wouldn't it have happened 200 years earlier and wouldn't we all be speaking Spanish now as the countries he invaded do? 7. Some people will argue that Columbus Day is a day for recognition of Italians, an Italian Pride Day. Are Italians more worthy of recognition than other ethnic groups in this country we have proudly (?) nicknamed "The Melting Pot"? I have heard Italians say that Germans have Oktoberfest, the Irish have St. Patrick's Day and Mexicans have Cinco de Mayo, but none of those are FEDERAL holidays. The only two ethnic groups worthy of recognition for their contributions and sacrifice in this land are those who were ALREADY HERE when the Europeans came and those who the Europeans BROUGHT HERE IN CHAINS. All other ethnic groups came here voluntarily. It was long overdue but African Americans finally got their holiday - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January.... but Native Americans still don't have a holiday (urge your congressmen and women to support House Bill #167). 8. Some people think he is deserving of the honor because he proved the world was round, but this was already a widely accepted belief by educated people at the time as Ptolemy, the ancient astronomer and geographer from Egypt, declared that the Earth was spherical in the second century. 7. Why do 17 states refuse to recognize and/or celebrate Columbus Day? 8. Why do protestors gather and march at every Columbus Day Parade? 9. And, WHY is Columbus honored with one of our 8 federal holidays in the US when, a. He didn't "discover" us, or anything previously undiscovered or uninhabited b. He never set foot on what is now U.S. soil. c. His legacy is greed, theft, destruction, brutality, slave-trading and murder d. It is offensive to Latin American, African American and Native Americans e. Native Americans, who were here and are worthy of a holiday, still don't have one 10.And why have the Taino people of the Caribbean and those in the US, whose ancestors have paid such a huge price for the misfortune of being "discovered", been erroneously declared extinct and are therefore denied legal recognition by the government?

The contents were made possible by the American Indian Civics Project (AICP), a project initially funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Native American Higher Education Initiative. The Project operated from the 1997-98 through the 2000-01 academic years. The primary goal of the AICP was to provide educators with the tools to educate secondary students - Indian and non-native alike - about the historical and contemporary political, economic, and social characteristics of sovereign tribal nations throughout the United States. The technological expertise, design, and ongoing maintenance of this web site was made possible by the Center for Indian Community Development (CICD) at Humboldt State University (HSU) - a four-year institution in the California State University (CSU) system located in Northern California. Goals: The primary goals of this web site are threefold: 1. To create an on-going educational collaboration between the university community and the secondary education communities - a collaboration that engages both communities in an academic dialogue about materials and lesson plans related to American Indians. 2. To create a series of educational resources which secondary educators and students may use when studying the historical and contemporary relationship between the US government and American Indians. 3. To collaboratively design and create secondary lesson plans related to the above historical and contemporary relationship - lesson plans which can be integrated into existing social science courses and which are compatible with requirements in the California History-Social Studies Standards. Contents: The web site consists of the following sections: 1. Historical Overview. This narrative discusses the relationship between the many Indian nations on the North American continent, first with the British colonial governments and later, with the United States government. This section is specifically designed to supplement the lesson plans in this web site and, as such, will be helpful to teachers as well as students who wish to learn more about the topic. 2. Chronology. This chronology provides an annotated listing of the major federal laws and activities, US Supreme Court decision, key treaties, and military battles between American Indians and the evolving American government from 1787 to the present. Additionally, it includes major Indian efforts to retain their ancestral land, as well as maintain and regain tribal sovereignty. 3.Annotated Resources. This section includes two types of annotated resources: Videos/Movie Resources Bibliographical Resources Each of these resources were personally reviewed and annotated by at least one person who helped with the development of the web site. Additionally, they are reviewed and updated by web site authors several times a year. The primary criterion for determining whether to include a resource is whether it is applicable, appropriate, and accessible for use by secondary and post-secondary educators and students. Because extensive hot links to useful Internet resources are included in every section of this web site, we have not included a specific resource section for Internet sites. 4. Unit Lesson Plans. This section contains two comprehensive and standards-based lesson plans collaboratively designed by secondary and post-secondary educators in Humboldt County. Sovereignty or Dependency? American Indian Nations and their Relationship with the Federal Government, 1776 - 1900 is designed for 8th graders in conjunction with - but not limited to - California's Eighth Grade History-Social Science Standards. This 10-day lesson plan was tested in Spring 1999 in the eighth grade class of Anne Hartline, a teacher at McKinleyville Middle School. Based upon the strengths and weaknesses as identified by the participating educators and students, this lesson plan was revised as it currently appears on-line. "Red Power" - The Civil Rights Movement and the American Indian is designed for 11th graders in conjunction with - but not limited to - California's Eleventh Grade History-Social Science Standards. The first week of this two-week lesson plan was tested in the eleventh grade class of Jack Bareilles at Arcata High School and taught by his student teacher, Sophie Huntington. Based upon participating educator and student input, this lesson plan was revised as it currently appears on-line. While each lesson was designed to be incorporated into a history course, each is interdisciplinary through the inclusion of language arts, geographical, political, and economic components. The core of the lesson plans is a broad-based lecture/discussion which relies heavily upon overheads, maps, illustrations, and primary documentation. Both include ideas for small group and class discussion topics; various short-term and long-term reading and geography assignments; related vocabulary words, terms, and phrases; a series of Internet assignments; and a suggested final assessment tool. 5. Mini-Lessons. This section includes five mini-lessons on special topics that have historical and contemporary significance within Indian Country. Each lesson is presented in two formats - in a narrative form for student reading either online or in hard copy; and a teacher's guide that provides teachers with a teachable theme, discussion questions, an evaluation tool, and a listing of all the 8th, 11th, and 12th grade standards addressed in the lesson. By clicking on the topics below, you will access the narrative form for each paper. Indian Mascots, Symbols, and Names in Sports: A Brief History of the Controversy and the Struggle for Change. This study examines the controversy surrounding the use of Indian mascots in American sports, focusing especially on the origins of the controversy which run deep throughout the American past, present, and future. Indian Boarding Schools: Tools of Forced Assimilation, 1870-1934. This study examines the goals, activities, and consequences of the Indian boarding schools that were created in the late nineteenth century and persisted throughout much of the twentieth. Indians in Northern California: A Case Study of Federal, State, and Vigilante Intervention, 1850-1860. This study examines the federal, state, and civilian interventions into the lives of Indian Peoples of Northern California between 1850-1860, as well as the genocidal consequences of such actions. American Indian Tribal Gaming: A Brief History of its Evolution and the Political Debate. This paper examines the recent popularity of tribal gaming by focusing on the political debate between tribal governments, state governments, and the federal government. A case study of gaming in California provides an excellent analysis of the political issues surrounding tribal gaming in the 21st Century. American Indians in the 21st Century: Survivors within a Genocidal Context. This paper examines the contemporary status of American Indians in the United States by focusing on the theme that despite 400 years of genocidal policies, Indian People at the turn of the 21st Century had survived and retained many of their cultural, spiritual, economic, and political traditions.

The contents were made possible by the American Indian Civics Project (AICP), a project initially funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Native American Higher Education Initiative. The Project operated from the 1997-98 through the 2000-01 academic years. The primary goal of the AICP was to provide educators with the tools to educate secondary students - Indian and non-native alike - about the historical and contemporary political, economic, and social characteristics of sovereign tribal nations throughout the United States. The technological expertise, design, and ongoing maintenance of this web site was made possible by the Center for Indian Community Development (CICD) at Humboldt State University (HSU) - a four-year institution in the California State University (CSU) system located in Northern California. Goals: The primary goals of this web site are threefold: 1. To create an on-going educational collaboration between the university community and the secondary education communities - a collaboration that engages both communities in an academic dialogue about materials and lesson plans related to American Indians. 2. To create a series of educational resources which secondary educators and students may use when studying the historical and contemporary relationship between the US government and American Indians. 3. To collaboratively design and create secondary lesson plans related to the above historical and contemporary relationship - lesson plans which can be integrated into existing social science courses and which are compatible with requirements in the California History-Social Studies Standards. Contents: The web site consists of the following sections: 1. Historical Overview. This narrative discusses the relationship between the many Indian nations on the North American continent, first with the British colonial governments and later, with the United States government. This section is specifically designed to supplement the lesson plans in this web site and, as such, will be helpful to teachers as well as students who wish to learn more about the topic. 2. Chronology. This chronology provides an annotated listing of the major federal laws and activities, US Supreme Court decision, key treaties, and military battles between American Indians and the evolving American government from 1787 to the present. Additionally, it includes major Indian efforts to retain their ancestral land, as well as maintain and regain tribal sovereignty. 3.Annotated Resources. This section includes two types of annotated resources: Videos/Movie Resources Bibliographical Resources Each of these resources were personally reviewed and annotated by at least one person who helped with the development of the web site. Additionally, they are reviewed and updated by web site authors several times a year. The primary criterion for determining whether to include a resource is whether it is applicable, appropriate, and accessible for use by secondary and post-secondary educators and students. Because extensive hot links to useful Internet resources are included in every section of this web site, we have not included a specific resource section for Internet sites. 4. Unit Lesson Plans. This section contains two comprehensive and standards-based lesson plans collaboratively designed by secondary and post-secondary educators in Humboldt County. Sovereignty or Dependency? American Indian Nations and their Relationship with the Federal Government, 1776 - 1900 is designed for 8th graders in conjunction with - but not limited to - California's Eighth Grade History-Social Science Standards. This 10-day lesson plan was tested in Spring 1999 in the eighth grade class of Anne Hartline, a teacher at McKinleyville Middle School. Based upon the strengths and weaknesses as identified by the participating educators and students, this lesson plan was revised as it currently appears on-line. "Red Power" - The Civil Rights Movement and the American Indian is designed for 11th graders in conjunction with - but not limited to - California's Eleventh Grade History-Social Science Standards. The first week of this two-week lesson plan was tested in the eleventh grade class of Jack Bareilles at Arcata High School and taught by his student teacher, Sophie Huntington. Based upon participating educator and student input, this lesson plan was revised as it currently appears on-line. While each lesson was designed to be incorporated into a history course, each is interdisciplinary through the inclusion of language arts, geographical, political, and economic components. The core of the lesson plans is a broad-based lecture/discussion which relies heavily upon overheads, maps, illustrations, and primary documentation. Both include ideas for small group and class discussion topics; various short-term and long-term reading and geography assignments; related vocabulary words, terms, and phrases; a series of Internet assignments; and a suggested final assessment tool. 5. Mini-Lessons. This section includes five mini-lessons on special topics that have historical and contemporary significance within Indian Country. Each lesson is presented in two formats - in a narrative form for student reading either online or in hard copy; and a teacher's guide that provides teachers with a teachable theme, discussion questions, an evaluation tool, and a listing of all the 8th, 11th, and 12th grade standards addressed in the lesson. By clicking on the topics below, you will access the narrative form for each paper. Indian Mascots, Symbols, and Names in Sports: A Brief History of the Controversy and the Struggle for Change. This study examines the controversy surrounding the use of Indian mascots in American sports, focusing especially on the origins of the controversy which run deep throughout the American past, present, and future. Indian Boarding Schools: Tools of Forced Assimilation, 1870-1934. This study examines the goals, activities, and consequences of the Indian boarding schools that were created in the late nineteenth century and persisted throughout much of the twentieth. Indians in Northern California: A Case Study of Federal, State, and Vigilante Intervention, 1850-1860. This study examines the federal, state, and civilian interventions into the lives of Indian Peoples of Northern California between 1850-1860, as well as the genocidal consequences of such actions. American Indian Tribal Gaming: A Brief History of its Evolution and the Political Debate. This paper examines the recent popularity of tribal gaming by focusing on the political debate between tribal governments, state governments, and the federal government. A case study of gaming in California provides an excellent analysis of the political issues surrounding tribal gaming in the 21st Century. American Indians in the 21st Century: Survivors within a Genocidal Context. This paper examines the contemporary status of American Indians in the United States by focusing on the theme that despite 400 years of genocidal policies, Indian People at the turn of the 21st Century had survived and retained many of their cultural, spiritual, economic, and political traditions.

Hypoglycemia is a potentially serious side effect of diabetes management that can occur in diabetics when taking oral medications and or insulin. It results when the level of glucose in the blood falls to an abnormally low level. Mild hypoglycemia occurs when the diabetes patients is able to recognize the symptoms of a falling blood glucose level and treat them. More severe hypoglycemia can occur suddenly, causing unconsciousness or seizures. This type of hypoglycemia is a medical emergency. The following signs and symptoms often accompany mild hypoglycemia: Anxiety Tremors or shaky feelings Sweating or warm feeling inside Hunger Nausea Rapidly beating heart Mental confusion or difficulty concentrating Dizziness Headache The following signs and symptoms often accompany more severe hypoglycemia: Slurred speech Disorientation Confusion and irrational behavior Loss of consciousness Seizures The treatment for hypoglycemia is glucose. Glucose is necessary to raise the blood sugar to a normal level. If the patient is awake and alert, he or she can ingest a food or drink that contains about 15 to 20 grams of carbohydrate. Good choices would include 6 ounces of fruit juice or cola product, about 7 lifesaver candies, 14 ounces of milk, or 4 glucose tablets. After ingesting one of these foods, it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the blood glucose level to rise. Severe hypoglycemia, that renders a diabetes patient unconscious, must be treated with an injectable form of glucose. Some people carry an injectable form of glucose called glucagon. Glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose. A family member or friend can give this injection at home, or wherever the reaction occurs. If the patient does not respond (wake up) to the glucagon, the paramedics must be called to transport the person to a hospital. If glucagon is not available, or does not raise the blood sugar enough, emergency personnel will administer an intravenous injection of concentrated glucose. This will result in a rapid rise in blood sugar. References American Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Recommendations 2000. Diabetes Care, Vol. 23, Supplement 1, January 2000.

It's good that student numbers are up on campus. It's good that the count of American Indian students has increased, too - to 411, to be exact. It's fall on campus and the beginning of a new year - a new page for these students. Unfortunately, an old issue - the Fighting Sioux mascot and logo - is haunting incoming students. Thursday afternoon, I attended the "welcome-back" picnic for American Indian students. It was well attended, with President Charles Kupchella, his wife, Adele; Robert Boyd, vice president for student affairs; UND professors and staff; and friends and even candidates running for political offices. The majority of the attendees at the picnic, however, were the new and returning Indian students. People roamed University Park's picnic area, visiting as if it were a "wing- ding" at some posh Washington, D.C., establishment. But instead of having a glass of wine in hand, we wandered with plastic foam cups of lemonade. Students were calling to each other across picnic tables. It was, perhaps, the first time they'd seen this or that friend since May. It was good to see. But I was disappointed to hear that some of the students were feeling more uncomfortable with each passing day. Why? Students have been approached about the issue of the Fighting Sioux name. The Indian students were asked, why isn't the name honoring? Some of the new students weren't aware of the issue and couldn't respond, but they felt intimidated, I was told. Mikki Kozel, a staff person for Indian programs, said students who are visibly Indian seemed to be targeted - not only on the campus, but in classes. If they are the only Indian student in the class, they are asked to explain or talk about the Fighting Sioux issue, she said. They are uncomfortable. I understand what it's like to be sought out to answer questions about Indians. I am visible, so people ask me questions - any and all questions - about Indians. I try to answer them. I always feel that if they are asking, they really want to know and are looking for understanding and connection. I am a columnist, however, and I see that as one of my roles in the community. Indian students are in Grand Forks to attend the university for an education. Questions about the "Fighting Sioux issue" probably should be addressed to veterans of that "mascot war" and in the appropriate setting. If the atmosphere is tainted and uncomfortable, why is there a growth in the number of students? Why don't Indian students attend, say, North Dakota State University in Fargo, for example, where they could rally behind the Bison? I asked Mikki. NDSU has only about 133 Indian students sprinkled amid almost the same total enrollment as UND. In spite of the nickname issue, she said, UND is a good school. The university has more than 26 programs for Indians - programs in which students are eligible for cultural diversity waivers, stipends and other aids. "We have an Indian center full of people who are dedicated to helping students" - something not available at many other universities, she said. Also, students at UND don't get lost in the shuffle. When they come from a reservation and are, perhaps, lacking in some academic area, they can get tutorial help and certainly staff support. "We make all efforts to retain students they have recruited," Kozel said. Also, UND has a history of providing education for Indian students, she said. There are a lot of students here who came to UND because their parents graduated from here. They want to follow in their parents' footsteps. My sister - she is a new doctorate student at UND - told me that the campus atmosphere has changed since she attended classes and worked at UND. It was during her time that the "Sammy Sioux" logo was changed to a geometric style. So, there was progress toward less racism at that time, but that movement now seems to have stalled, she said. When Ned Hill, a consultant hired by the Knight Foundation to study Grand Forks' strengths and weaknesses, was here in 2002, one of the issues he identified was the logo of the university. As we all know, the issue has received national attention, too. At this time, however, we are bound by things we cannot change - at least not now. We can't change the name at this time, nor can we erase the number of Indian heads in Ralph Engelstad Arena. Yet, it is possible for our community, including the university, to deal with the issue in other ways. Here are some ways: encourage respect for Indian people and our culture, provide education about Indians, instigate discussions, find ways to connect the community and talk about racism and prejudice openly. The university is a good place to start. After all, isn't it the role of a university to grapple with thorny issues and, perhaps, find answers? Yellow Bird writes columns Tuesdays and Saturdays.

H-WEST Digest - 7 Oct 2004 to 8 Oct 2004 (#2004-98)	There are 3 messages totalling 366 lines in this issue. Topics of the day: 1. FYI: Study of Longterm Western Drought 2. Website: BLM Photos 3. NCH WASHINGTON UPDATE (Vol. 10, #40; 8 October 2004) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 09:23:57 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: FYI: Study of Longterm Western Drought Friends, Below is a news item from my university, based on a recent publication by my friend David Stahle, a specialist in dendrochronology. I thought you might find it interesting. Elliott West, Co-Moderator *********** Tree Rings Point to Historic, Long-Term Aridity in Western United States FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - While the Western states remain gripped in a severe drought, a group of researchers has studied the tree ring record and found that the current dry spell pales in comparison to the aridity of the same region during medieval times. The researchers believe that the drought patterns outlined in the tree rings could indicate a long-term increase in drought over Western North America. "The data show that the 20th century has been relatively wet, despite the drought calamities that have befallen us," said David Stahle, professor of geosciences at the University of Arkansas. Stahle, Edward R. Cook of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Connie Woodhouse and C. Mark Eakin of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center, and David M. Meko of the Laboratory of Tree Ring Research, University of Arizona, report their findings in the current online issue of Science Express. Science Express is an electronic publication that highlights selected upcoming papers that will appear in the journal Science. The researchers examined 602 tree ring chronologies from the Western United States, with the tree rings representing the past 245 to 2,000 years. Scientists have calibrated the tree-ring chronologies with the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), a water balance model based on precipitation and temperature using modern-day instrumentation that dates back to the early 20th century. The PDSI is based on grid points located at weather stations throughout the United States. This calibration has allowed researchers to reconstruct past rainfall using tree rings. In this instance, the researchers looked at the tree-ring records dating back 1,200 years. Stahle and his colleagues used the Drought Area Index (DAI) to examine the incidence of drought during that time period. The index is a count of PDSI grid point reconstructions that indicates either a wet or dry year. Their results show that, when compared to other time periods in the last 1,200 years, the West has enjoyed a relatively wet time period in the 20th century. The most arid times were centered around AD 936, 1034, 1150 and 1253, a 400-year span that corresponds to a period called the "Medieval Warm Period" (MWP), a European phenomenon. Shortly after 1300, things began to get wetter again, until about 1920. From 1300 to 1920, the times with the moistest conditions centered around 1321, 1613, 1829 and 1915. Since that time, overall drought conditions have increased to a level not seen for several hundred years, but still wetter than the climate of the MWP. The researchers point out that the western North American drought conditions during medieval times corresponded with a well-documented warming period in Europe, indicating a possible link between warmer temperatures and drier weather in the West. If the global temperatures continue to rise, it could lead to a long-term increase of drought conditions in western North America. "The evidence is speculative, but sobering," Stahle said. "We have engineered a water supply system in the West that is resilient. But a return to prolonged drought would challenge even the massive water supply systems of the West." If drought conditions become more persistent, Western states will need to re-think their water usage in order to preserve it as an essential commodity, he said. To put their findings in context, the researchers also looked at other biological and geological records that indicate climate change, including fire scars, charcoal levels, lake salinity and sand dune activity, all of which provide paleoclimatologists with evidence of precipitation conditions from the past. These records supported the evidence for the existence of a megadrought during the AD 900 to 1300 era. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 10:33:51 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: Website: BLM Photos Friends, From The Scout Report, University of Wisconsin: Bureau of Land Management Historical Photographs http://www.photos.blm.gov/hist_index.html While some of those U.S residents who never venture west of the mighty Mississippi River may be unfamiliar with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), most Westerners know this governmental agency quite well. The agency has been in existence in one form or another for more than a century, and is responsible for managing 262 million surface areas of America's public lands and their natural resources. The BLM recently made an ambitious effort to make some of the agency's vast historical images available to the Web- browsing public, and this nice online archive is the result of those labors. The archive contains close to 3500 images, dating back to the early 1890s all the way up to the 1980s. Visitors are advised to use the search engine, which will allow them the ability to look up images by keyword, state, date, or photographer. The site will definitely warrant a couple of extended visits, as there's everything here from photos of sluicing equipment in the Rockies from the early 1920s to grazing cattle in Nevada.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS -- FOR THE TIME BEING AT LEAST Both the House and Senate are scheduled to adjourn Friday 8 October without addressing outstanding appropriations issues, a battery of authorizing bills, and pending nominations, including that of Allen Weinstein to become Archivist of the United States. Congress has opted to postpone action on all these concerns until after the elections. Some may well be addressed during the Lame Duck Congress, others may simply die when the second session of the 108th Congress adjourns sometime before the end of the year. Last week the Republican leadership decided to put off consideration of the remaining appropriation bills until later. A Continuing Resolution (CR) presently authorizes federal agencies to operate at last fiscal years funding levels until 20 November at which time Congress must either conclude work on appropriations or pass yet another CR. With the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee focusing its attention on the 9/11 Commission recommendations and the Intelligence reform bill, no action has been taken on the nomination of Allen Weinstein to become the next Archivist of the United States. Hill insiders report that while the nomination remains pending,there are no plans to advance the nomination out of committee until after the elections. While the White House has responded to the request of the committee to explain the administrations motivation behind asking Carlin to step down in favor of Weinstein, certain questions regarding the nomination remain unresolved. At least one Democratic senator has again written the White House asking for a clarification of why Carlins resignation was requested. 2. DEBATE OVER HISTORY TEXTS CONTINUES The debate over what information goes into history textbooks remains an ongoing concern. Currently, politicians, special interest groups, and some historians believe that history textbooks do not include the appropriate material necessary to educate the nations youth. Following recent trends in the profession, authors of history texts often place emphasis on a social history approach to their subject matter. But critics complain that this trend tends to water down the achievements of the individual. Some also believe that this approach also makes history books too politically correct. One group that is suspicious of the current trend in textbook writing is the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, a conservative group. Late last year, during a conference focusing on history texts, the institute charged, "In most U.S. schools, the serious study of history and civics has been replaced by a nebulous, content-light, and morally shaky "social studies" curriculum." Another problem the group charges, is that since social history focuses on ordinary figures and groups and not prominent figures, students are not adequately exposed to the exemplary works of great Americans who founded and shaped our nation. The institute argues that this trend has led to the current situation of American school children knowing little "about our nation's founding principles, how the government functions or what our forebears had to overcome the past two centuries to establish and preserve freedom." One example of this is the debate over the minimalcoverage George Washington receives in some history texts. According to Matthew Spalding, director of the Heritage Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, "There is a general decline in teaching about dead, white, 18th-century males. That's where we are today, and, as a result, Washington has really suffered. On the other hand, others complain that current textbooks downplay or outright misrepresent the important roles of ordinary people who made history. This last week, for example, a mother of a third-grader in Fayetteville, Georgia, asked the state board of education to ban a state history book because it says that African slaves were brought to America to "help" others. The book in question, The Story of Our Georgia Community," was approved for statewide use and has been in classrooms for about two years. This past May, the Library Congress (LC) held a symposium on the future of the history textbook (for access to a LC webcast, tap into: <http://www.loc.gov/loc/kluge/storiesofournations.html>http://www.loc.gov/loc/ kluge/storiesofournations.html). The speakers at this symposium took a view somewhat contrary to those held by conservative history text critics. Speakers at the LC conference stated that publishers generally are keeping up-to-date on historical scholarship and that texts reflect the current trends in historical thinking. However, during the conference some questioned the emphasis of texts. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN), for example, stated that history and civics teachers and texts should do more to focus on "American exceptionalism" and teach students "what it means to be an American." There is no end in sight to the ongoing debate over the quality and content of history texts. For the last couple of years, Congress has been devoting millions of dollars to history education through such programs as the National Endowment for the Humanities We the Peopleinitiative and the Department of Educations Teaching American History. So far, little of this money has been directed toward assessing let alone improving history texts. New legislation slotted to be introduced in the 109th Congress is expected to focus even more governmental funding on teacher training. With Congress devoting ever increasing resources to history education, the hope is that increased spending will result in improvements in student test scores. Whether this goal will be achieved without universally addressing the issue of history texts remains an issue for further discussion. 3. SENATE APPROVES NEW DECLASSIFICATION REVIEW BOARD This last week the Senate approved the creation of an Independent National Security Classification Board which is designed to build on and supersede the Public Interest Declassification Board (PIDB). That board, which was created four years ago (see Title 7, Section 703 of P.L. 106-567) has never actually convened, though the White House recently named five members to serve on it (see White House Names Members to Declassification Boardin NCH WASHINGTON UPDATE, Vol. 10, #37; 16 September 2004). Creation of the new board was accomplished through an amendment tacked on to the Senate version of the Intelligence reform bill (S. 2845). It closely resembles a free-standing bill (S. 2672) introduced in July by senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Trent Lott (R-MS). The language in the amendment combines aspects of both the Wyden/Lott bill and the existing PIDB law. As was the case with the PIDB, the new board will be made up of nine members. But the board is to be granted new powers to review contested classification decisions and to recommend to the president that a particular document be declassified. While the president would not be obliged to accept the recommendation, if he rejects the board's decision to declassify a specific document, he is obliged to provide a written justification of his decision to Congress. The new board also would expedite the declassification of material used in reports that Congress wants to make public. Meanwhile, this week the House is slotted to take up its version of the Intelligence reform bill. House rules make it impossible to amend the pending bill to include the Senate language. Several House Democrats, however, have introduced a free standing companion bill (H.R. 4855) to the Wyden/Lott bill. Hill insiders anticipate that the new board will be a topic that will be addressed in the intelligence reform act conference that is anticipated to take place during the Lame Duck session after the election. 4. ARTS GROUP TO LAUNCH ADVOCACY INITIATIVE On 4 October 2004, Americans for Arts, an advocacy group that supports increased funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, announced that it will spend $1 million, a part of the $120 million dollar gift from pharmaceutical heiress Ruth Lilly, to create a new citizens action movement for the arts. The new entity -- Americans for Arts Action Fund -- will be a membership group that will adopt the fundraising and lobbying tactics of the Sierra Club and the League of Women Voters in an effort to build support for arts and arts education. Right now, there is no equivalent organization established for the support of the humanities. Americans for Arts is creating this fund because over the years financial support for the arts from the public and private sectors has dwindled. Governmental funding, through the National Endowments for Arts and Humanities, has inched up recently, but neither has returned to the more generous highs of decades past. Many states continue to slash funding for arts and humanities and corporate and foundation support has also been shrinking due to the condition of the economy. The fund is designed to expand support for the arts at the grass-roots level. The first major action of the new fund will take place on 14 November 2004 when the organization will launch a direct-mail appeal asking people to buttonhole their elected officials and demand more government support for the arts. According to Robert L. Lynch, president of Americans for the Arts, We have done a good job collectively raising the consciousness of citizens...but [for] policy makers...their positions havent caught up with the people who say arts are important.In FY 2005, both the Arts and Humanities endowments are slotted to receive less than the president had requested. 5. BITS AND BYTES Item # 1 -- New California Archives Law: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed legislation (A.B. 2719), amending the state code enabling previously restrictedrecords in the California State Archives to become public after 75 years. Introduced by Assembly Member John Laird last February, the legislation provides for researchers and historians a set date for the opening of all archival records in the state of California. The legislation had the strong support of the archival community. The National Coalition for History also weighed in and expressed its support of the legislation to both the state legislature and governor. Item # 2 -- Historian Wins FOIA Access Suit: On 28 September 2004, U.S. District Judge Robert Takasugi gave University of California at Irvine historian Jonathan Wiener a significant win when he ordered the FBI to turn over the remaining 10 pages of the secret files on Beatle John Lennon to Wiener. Judge Takasugi rejected government arguments that releasing the last 10 pages of Weiners request would pose a national security risk because a foreign government secretly provided the information (the government that provided the information was not publicly identified though Great Britain is obviously the most likely source). The battle for the Lennon records started in 1983, when Wiener sued the Department of Justice under the Freedom of Information Act. Through a settlement in 1997, Wiener received 248 pages of the Lennon records. These files, which were gathered from 1971 to 1972, included memos detailing Lennon's donations to a group planning to demonstrate at the 1972 Republican National Convention. The Justice department is considering whether to appeal the District Court decision. 6.

They complained that the exhibits presented an unevaluated hodge-podge, with little or no attempt to explain the meaning of the objects, or even to label them. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2114> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Landfill fight in North County a costly proposition The fight over a proposed landfill in a little-known North County canyon is a battle of titans that will rank as the most expensive ballot measure in county history.

The two sides have spent a total of $2.8 million so far, according to the most recent campaign financial statements, and more spending is certain.

These protestors denounce Columbus as comparable to Adolf Hitler for launching the mass enslavement and murder of Indians by Europeans. In 1991 protests grew so violent that Columbus Day parades ended for most of a decade. When Italian-Americans insisted on marching again in 2000, Denver,s Democrat Mayor and the politically-correct administration of President Bill Clinton tried to strong-arm the marchers into a secret deal to quietly erase the name of the Genoese explorer accused of genocide as a condition of being granted a parade permit. Proud Italian-Americans refused to go along with this violation of their rights as Americans. What followed in 2000 were leftist threats, violence and disruption. Protestors carried signs that reportedly read „Mafia scum,‰ „Sons of Italy, Sons of Bitches,‰ and other expressions reflecting their commitment to love and light. Police arrested 147 protestors for blocking the parade route with their bodies. But with the departure of this leftist Mayor and the end of Democratic control over the White House, these racist protests have calmed. Last year only seven protestors against the Columbus Day Parade were arrested. This past weekend, reported the liberal Denver Post, Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman chose not to arrest protestors who illegally moved a barricade because he „didn,t want the situation to escalate. ‰ Whitman assigned 600 of his city,s 1,400 police to work the parade. Protestors also found other channels for their anger. In 2001 they began alternative parades such as the Four Directions, All Nations March, which aims to turn this national holiday into a celebration for all nationalities, ethnicities and races. Columbus, they apparently hope, will become lost and forgotten by such dilution of his holiday. The star of this counter-parade on Friday was an Italian-American, Richard Castaldo, who was turned into a paraplegic by the student shooters who shot up Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in 1999. Was Columbine named for Columbus? No, but the names are linked. The columbine flower was said by 13th Century gardeners to resemble a group of doves, thereby acquiring the Latin name Columbinus, „dove-like.‰ (Th e Rocky Mountain Columbine is Colorado,s state flower, its blue, gold and silver hues reflected in the design of the Colorado state flag.) Columbus, Italian name Cristoforo Colombo, too, apparently comes from these gentle birds that since the biblical story of Noah have symbolized the spirit of divine harmony and peace. What if these Denver leftists succeed in erasing the name Columbus from this parade and start a national effort to purge all use of this dead white European male (DWEM) name from our culture? Just such revision of history was depicted in George Orwell,s novel 1984, where feeble hero Winston Smith toiled constantly to re-write the past to show that Big Brother had always been correct. At least a dozen American cities are named Columbus, including Ohio,s capital. We can imagine Colorado,s ruling academic leftists (whose virtual monopoly of power on many state campuses is now being challenged by David Horowitz and others) offering their favored new names for these cities San Fidel, Marxotopia, Che City, Maotropolis, Clintonia. At least a dozen more American cities mirror some variant of Columbus. Columbia is the capital of South Carolina. The District of Columbia is the capital of the United States. The politically correct will also insist on replacing a host of other names, public and private, including the Pacific Northwest,s Columbia River, Columbia University (the school that hired Al Gore), the song „Columbia the Gem of the Ocean,‰ Columbia Records (Bob Dylan,s record label), and its corporate kin and home of Lefty Dan Rather the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). The history re-writers will also demand that we rename at least one nation, Colombia in South America, and one Canadian province, British Columbia. The crusade to purge this hated name from every organization, such as the Roman Catholic service group the Knights of Columbus, and every hill, valley, creek and corporation, such as Columbia Pictures, will go on and on. But this must be done, because every such use of Columbus, name honors a man they regard as evil. The Politically Correct history taught by such professors is that the New World was an earthly paradise in 1491, and that the arrival of Columbus plunged it into hell and horror with the arrival of slavery, genocide and „white man,s diseases‰ like swine flu and smallpox. This history contains much truth, but as only half-truth. The larger truth, e.g., as Alfred W. Crosby, Jr., documents in his classic history The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492, is that Columbus and those who followed him brought diseases. But they also caught diseases from Native Americans and took these back to Europe including, argues Crosby, syphilis. Europeans acquired a whole new universe of foods, including tomatoes and potatoes, from New World farmers, as Jack Weatherford documents in Indian Givers: How The Indians of the Americas Transformed the World. But Europeans also acquired from Native American farmers crops that do harm on a huge scale, such as cancer-causing addictive tobacco, overweight from sugarcane, and a plague of alcoholic harm from easily distilled corn whisky and sugar rum. The New York Times Magazine, perhaps unconsciously, chose Columbus Day Weekend to publish an article about how a crop developed from primitive weed by Native Americans corn or Indian Maize today plays a major role in the obesity that scientists now say could shorten the lifespans of our younger generations. The benefits and harm from this exchange of cultures has been mutual, not entirely one-sided. „They made [Columbus] a saint, but he massacred thousands of people,‰ said Anthony Zapata, identified by the Denver Post as „a dancer with the Aztec dance group Tlaloc who marched with the protestors Saturday.‰ But the warlike, imperialistic Aztecs also massacred and enslaved hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions, of their fellow Native Americans in surrounding tribes. They sent war parties as far north as New Mexico and Arizona to demand tribute, part of which was in the form of young men to be sacrificed to the Aztec gods. One reason Cortes was able to conquer the Aztecs with only a handful of conquistadors is that he had the help of Aztec-enslaved tribes, many of whom greeted him as a liberator. All was not utopian sweetness and light before Columbus arrived, and all was not hell afterwards. What happened was a mixed bag of blessings and curses. As to the charge of genocide as did happen in Cuba, and as Castro,s Marxist allies attempted to carry out against the Moskito Indians in Nicaragua if it had happened in Mexico or elsewhere there would be no Native Americans left to protest. Instead their genes live on, by some estimates, in more than 30 million Americans ranging from Secretary of State Colin Powell (who under the racist Clinton-Gore census rules is actually defined as an Indian, not an African-American) to Wayne Newton and Elvis Presley. And scientists, much to the horror of the politically correct, have found fragments of evidence suggesting that the ancestors of today,s Native Americans actually committed genocide against the original white-skinned inhabitants of North America and the original black-skinned inhabitants of South America. If this is so, then Columbus was merely reclaiming land stolen by Native Americans from others of his European ancestry. It,s easy to see why leftists such as Bill Clinton and their politically correct ilk continue efforts to suppress all such evidence. But instead of concocting historical re-writes, fictional half-truth dramas in which one side wears white hats and the other black hats, and instead of trying to erase the very name Columbus, why can,t we all just get along? Let Italian-Americans take pride in their parade, and let others have parades of their own, too. The ancestors of all human beings include brutal killers and tender lovers. On Saturday, the protestors in Denver were content to protest semi-silently, lining the Columbus Day Parade with their backs turned to the marchers. If the name Columbus is not purged by next year, say some, they will stage „teach-ins‰ on local college campuses and find other ways to make their anger felt by the community. As my Comanche colleague David Yeagley righteously suggests, Columbus should, after more than five centuries of conflict and melding, now be acknowledged as a part of Native American heritage, too. Columbus, with all the good and bad lessons he can teach us, has become the common heritage of mankind. As technology rapidly progresses, we will again be seek and perhaps find new worlds and civilizations in outer space. By studying Columbus honestly, we prepare ourselves for this future and for close encounters with others who embody life. Happy Columbus Day to all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Mr. Ponte hosts national radio talk show Monday through Friday Noon-2 PM Eastern Time (9-11 AM Pacific Time) as well as on Saturdays 6-9 PM Eastern Time (3-6 PM Pacific Time) and on Sundays 9 PM-Midnight Eastern Time (6-9 PM Pacific Time) on the Talk America network .

That is the original meaning of "education." And that is exactly what was not given to the American Indians after colonization. Formal education for the indigenous people had nothing to do with them, their history, languages, cultures and values. It was an imposition. The more they were exposed to formal education, the further they got from themselves. Formal education was not a way for the Indian people to "think" for themselves, but a system of indoctrination based on "what to think." Under this education, Indians were not in touch with their lives, their cultures and history, but with the perspective and ideology of their invaders. The psychological dimension of this process was violence towards the self. It was trauma. Not surprisingly, Indians who wanted to get in touch with themselves and their heritage rid themselves of these artificial concepts that had nothing to do with their reality. In order to reclaim a certain degree of sanity and sort out their own emotions and thoughts, they questioned the view that was imposed on them as universal. The only way they could do this was by finding their own view and reclaiming their own heritage. Formal education was set against their own perspective. Indians then discovered that they were not meant to have survived. Formal education didn't even consider them. They were invisible. Their only merit was that they could become part of the new system. The sooner they could leave behind the vestiges of the past, the easier it would be for them to learn the new ways. The purpose of formal education was then to "de-Indianize the Indians." What was the message for the Indian? That the more educated I am, the less Indian I become. The lesson was that it is not good to be Indian at all. So, don't look Indian, don't speak Indian, and above all, don't think Indian. This historical experience has much to do with the current indifference professed towards formal education in Indian country. While this is understandable it is quite unfortunate. Formal education can go both ways. It can lead us away from ourselves, but it can also lead us towards ourselves. Education can have a positive dimension. Education can be a means for liberation. How can education have a positive dimension in Indian country? There are at least 10 elements that can contribute to this process: 1. First of all, education has to be rooted in the experience of the Indian people. 2. Formal education has to be based on the Indian perspective not just the mainstream perspective. 3. Education has to lead the student towards himself and not away from himself: It must be a process not only of discovering the world but also of self-discovery. 4. Education has to be rooted in Indian history. 5. The learning process has to be consistent with the cultural wisdom of the Indian people. 6. Formal education will put us in touch with our ancestors and their contributions to us and the world. 7. The form and content of the process of education will be based on Indian experience. 8. Formal education will be used to preserve Indian heritage. 9. Indian education will be applied to expand the sphere of justice and cultural affirmation for Indian country. 10. The contextual elements of the learning process must include non- formal practices of education preserved by the Indian people - such as oral tradition, application, imitation and community consultation, rather than the memorization of basic information. We believe that in nature, as in society, diversity is not the problem: Diversity is the solution.

It is not necessary for eagles to be crows." - Sitting Bull, Teton Lakota (Sioux) Roberto Dansie is a clinical psychologist.

(humor) Why Did The Native Chicken Cross The Trail? GRASSROOT INDIAN: If the darn chiggens need to get across the road, let 'em cross the darn road! COLONIZED INDIAN: Chiggens should never cross the roads that white men built before the great white father crosses it first. If the white father crosses it, it is good. We must then follow. AMERICANIZED INDIAN: We must have roads. We must cross the roads that the white man built for us. We have to be thankful to the white man for this. I don't know why you Indians are always complaining. You embarrass us. Chickens are good for us. REPUBLICAN INDIAN: It's true that that white man built those roads for us. We are merely chickens. We will always be chickens until we learn to build those roads ourselves - for profit. DEMOCRATIC INDIAN: The chicken crossed the road because he didn't have enough funding. TRADITIONAL INDIAN: Those chiggens weren't traditional because what they heck were they doing trying to cross the road, when they were supposed to be on it - not crossing it!

Ethnobotanic: Iris makes some of the finest cordage. The fibers are particularly strong, flexible, and fine like silk. Only two fibers can be taken from each iris leaf margin. Huge bunches of leaves were harvested in the fall and stored until needed. Iris cordage was used for fishing nets, string, rope, snares, hairnets, and regalia. The men knotted the fishing nets from iris fibers. Animals were captured with iris rope. A deer rope is nearly 20 feet long with a lasso at one end, and about half an inch in diameter. A loop was set over a deer trail to catch the head or antlers. Within the loop positioned over a trail a delicate network of the same material was spread to draw in the loop. One Indian stated that "it takes nearly six weeks to make a rope twelve feet long." In spite of the tremendous labor of preparing this material, the iris fiber was one of the most generally employed in northwestern California. The threads and cords of this fiber were used to make fishing nets, camping bags and snares for catching game. Since iris is fine and can be bent at sharp angles, it makes an excellent starting knot in coiled baskets. The Pomo placed acorn meal in a shallow pit and covered the meal with iris leaves before pouring water over the meal to leach out tannic acid. The Monache and the Southern Yokuts in California make flour from iris seed. A poultice of the raw rhizome is especially effective against staph sores. Used externally, iris is successfully used for infected wounds, ulcers, fistulas, and to take away freckles. Only the dry root should be used internally. Iris is active as a cathartic; has a stimulating effect on the production of both pancreatic enzymes and bile; is a strong diuretic; and will stimulate both saliva and sweat. This is a useful drug plant, but in general, should be used with care and preferably in combinations where less energetic plants form the bulk of a medicinal formula. Landscaping & Wildlife: The blossoms lend themselves to landscaping, where they require minimal maintenance. Native irises are free flowering, most are long lived, require very little attention, and provide an abundance of seeds. Iris flowers attract insects and birds. Irises provide both nectar and insects to hummingbirds. Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant,s current status, such as, state noxious status and wetland indicator values. Description General: Iris Family (Iridaceae). Purdy,s iris has leaves that are shiny green on top, gray-green and glaucous underneath. Stems and leaves are stained a brilliant mahogany red or cerise pink. There are two flowers on the tall (12") stem. It has pale cream-yellow flowers with prominent, brownish purple veins or whitish with lavender tinges. Flowers bloom in May and June. The rhizomes are 4-6 mm in diameter. Distribution For current distribution, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. Purdy,s iris is common is open to shady places, in redwood, north coastal coniferous and mixed evergreen forest communities, and grows at elevations below 1200m. It occurs in the north coast of California in the Klamath Ranges and outer North Coast Ranges, from Sonoma to Humboldt and Trinity Counties. Establishment This iris does not form clumps, must be grown from seed, and is a sparse grower. The native irises are excellent in shade situations, even dense shade of walls and fences (Schmidt 1980). They will tolerate sun for most of the day in mild areas, and should have afternoon shade and ample water in the interior regions. These plants are intolerant of frequent summer water; they should not be planted near lawns or other moisture-loving plants. These plants require excellent drainage; therefore, compacted or other water-holding soils may need to be modified. Fertilization increases biomass and seed production. Irises start growing with the first cool weather and rains in fall, reaching the height of their growth in spring and early summer. Propagation by Plant Division: Purdy,s iris is not densely rhizomatous, and it is recommended that the plants be started from seed. However, this iris is still clonal, radiating in growth outward from the center of the plant. This iris can be propagated from plant division, in fall or winter after the first new roots are established but before the flowers form. Native irises in the wild tend to produce only a small, dry rhizome with stringy roots which is difficult to dig. Vigorous garden or greenhouse plants produce firm, white, growing roots especially in winter and spring growing seasons, and clumps are easily divided at those time. Remove a new fan with fleshy roots set in a prepared site, water it, and provide shade for a few days if the plant is placed in full sun. Frequent division appears to keep the plants vigorous, as well as being the best method of increasing the supply of superior forms. Propagation by Seed: Iris seed is easily collected from the large capsules. The seedpods from Purdy,s iris are sometimes right on the ground, almost like a peanut. The capsules turn from green to brown and open at the top when they are ripe. You have to watch them carefully, because they split very rapidly and two days later the seed is dispersed. Collect capsules carefully to avoid spilling seeds; each capsule has from 20 to 80 seeds. Store seeds in paper envelopes at room temperature until they are planted. Seeds will keep up to 10 years at room temperature. Plant seeds in 6-inch pots, using a combination of leaf mold and peat moss. Cover seeds with 1/2 inch of same material. Any good potting soil that's acidic is good for seed germination. After planting, over-winter the pots outdoors in November or December. They will come up in 2-3 months, depending on the weather. Germination increases the second year, because there's always a percentage of hard seeds that won't germinate the first year. Part of the seed won,t germinate until the second year, to increase the probability for good weather conditions and optimize germination success. Plant the seedlings in May, when the young plants are usually 3 to 6 inches tall or even taller. Plants are likely to require watering the first year while roots are being established. Plant from 6 inches to one-foot spacing. If a natural look is desired, scatter and clump the plantings. Plants will begin to bloom by their second year if growth has been continuous. Direct seeding is possible in places that can be left undisturbed, as among shrubs, or among low perennials where the seedlings can be sheltered. If planting seeds in the ground, autumn is the best time for seeding; germination begins in two or three months and often continues beyond that time. A friable seed mixture of sand, loam, and either peat or screened leaf mold is best, covering the seed with sphagnum moss to aid in preventing damping-off of seedlings. Management In autumn, old leaves should be removed from the center of large clumps, the foliage cut back, and a mulch applied, especially if the irises are being naturalized in a semi-dry area. Traditional resource management included harvesting huge bunches of iris leaves in the fall, and storing these leaves until needed. The fibers are then harvested from the leaves. This naturally accomplished the pruning and mulching that modern horticulturists practice to maintain iris beds. The PCI borer (Amphipoea americana var. pacifica ) and iris borer are serious pests of iris. The iris borer stays in the rhizome through the winter, then metamorphose, coming out sometime in the spring as a nocturnal moth. Controlling the moth when its flying, to prevent it from laying its eggs on the iris, would control the borer. At this time, it is recommended to dig the infected plant out entirely, put it a plastic bag, and put them in the garbage can to avoid contamination of other plants. Milkweed (Asclepias species) and dogbane (Apocynum cannibinum ) were traditionally burned by native people in the fall to maintain vigorous plant production, to stimulate plant growth, to optimize long and abundant fiber production from leaves and stalks, and to stimulate seed production. It is probable that iris was burned for the same reasons. Cultivars, Improved and Selected Materials (and area of origin) IRPU is readily available from native plant nurseries and seed companies within its range. Please check the Vendor Database, expected to be on-line through the PLANTS Web site in 2001 by clicking on Plant Materials. Seeds and plants of selected iris cultivars are available from many nurseries. It is best to plant species from your local area, adapted to the specific site conditions where the plants are to be grown. References American Iris Society. SPCNI. 4333 Oak Hill Road.

FAS is a lifelong yet completely preventable set of physical, mental and neurobehavioral birth defects associated with alcohol consumption during pregnancy. FAS is the leading known cause of mental retardation and birth defects. What are Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND) and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD)? Prenatal alcohol exposure does not always result in FAS˜although there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Most individuals affected by alcohol exposure before birth do not have the characteristic facial abnormalities and growth retardation identified with FAS, yet they have brain and other impairments that are just as significant. Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND) describes the functional or mental impairments linked to prenatal alcohol exposure, and Alcohol-Related Birth Defects (ARBD) describes malformations in the skeletal and major organ systems. What are the Primary Characteristics of FAS, ARND and ARBD? Individuals with FAS have a distinct pattern of facial abnormalities, growth deficiency and evidence of central nervous system dysfunction. In addition to mental retardation, individuals with FAS, ARND and ARBD may have other neurological deficits such as poor motor skills and hand-eye coordination. They may also have a complex pattern of behavioral and learning problems, including difficulties with memory, attention and judgment. How often do FAS, ARND and ARBD Occur? As many as 12,000 infants are born each year with FAS and three times as many have ARND or ARBD. FAS, ARND and ARBD affect more newborns every year than Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, spina bifida and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome combined. How can Alcohol-Related Effects be prevented? FAS, ARND and ARBD are 100% preventable when a woman completely abstains from alcohol during her pregnancy. NOFAS prevents alcohol-related effects through public awareness and education, and by increasing access to prenatal health care. Another key to prevention is to screen all women of reproductive age for alcohol problems and to use appropriate strategies, such as treatment for alcohol problems, to eliminate drinking before conception. How does a mother,s drinking affect her unborn child? When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her baby; through the blood vessels in the placenta, the mother,s blood supplies the developing baby with nourishment and oxygen. If the mother drinks alcohol, the alcohol enters her blood stream and then, through the placenta, enters the blood supply of the growing baby. Alcohol is a teratogen, a substance known to be toxic to human development. Depending on the amount, timing and pattern of use, if alcohol reaches the growing baby,s blood supply, it can interfere with healthy development. If a woman drinks wine, beer or liquor when she is pregnant, her baby could be born with FAS. There is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy. What if I am pregnant and have been drinking? If you consumed alcohol before you knew you were pregnant, stop drinking now. Abstaining from alcohol for the remainder of your pregnancy can have a beneficial effect even on functions that might have been affected by earlier drinking. The sooner you stop drinking, the better the chance of having a healthy baby. You could be pregnant and not know it. So if you are trying to get pregnant or are sexually active and not using contraception, don,t drink alcohol. The following summary is excerpted from the 10th Special Report to the U.S. Congress on Alcohol and Health produced by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The passage further describes FAS and the issues associated with prenatal alcohol exposure and serves as an introduction to the report,s comprehensive chapter on the subject. To view the full report, visit the NIAAA Web site at www.niaaa.nih.gov. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a set of birth defects caused by maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. At birth, children with FAS can be recognized by growth deficiency and a characteristic set of minor facial traits that tend to become more normal as the child matures. Less evident at birth˜but far more devastating to FAS children and their families˜are the lifelong effects of alcohol-induced damage to the developing brain. FAS is considered the most common nonhereditary cause of mental retardation. In addition to deficits in general intellectual functioning, individuals with FAS often demonstrate difficulties with learning, memory, attention, and problem solving as well as problems with mental health and social interactions. Thus these individuals and their families face persistent hardships in virtually every aspect of life. Estimates of FAS prevalence vary from 0.5 to 3 per 1,000 live births in most populations, with much higher rates in some communities (Stratton et al. 1996). However, the diagnosis of FAS identifies only a relatively small proportion of children affected by alcohol exposure before birth. Children with significant prenatal alcohol exposure can lack the characteristic facial defects and growth deficiency of FAS but still have alcohol-induced mental impairments that are just as serious, if not more so, than in children with FAS. The term "alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder" (ARND) has been developed to describe this condition. In addition, prenatally exposed children without FAS facial features can have other alcohol-related physical abnormalities of the skeleton and certain organ systems; these are known as alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD). Because the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the developing brain appear to be especially long lasting and debilitating, a significant proportion of research has concentrated on brain malformations as well as cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. In this chapter, the section on "Prenatal Alcohol Exposure: Effects on Brain Structure and Function" describes research using neuroimaging techniques to provide precise pictures of brain abnormalities found in persons exposed to alcohol before birth. The studies strongly support the notion that alcohol has specific, rather than global, effects on the developing brain. The section also describes current research on the many behavioral manifestations of this structural brain damage, including problems with cognitive and motor functions as well as mental health and psychosocial behavior. It is unlikely that a single mechanism can explain all of the deleterious effects that result from alcohol exposure during pregnancy. As described in the section "Underlying Mechanisms of Alcohol-Induced Damage to the Fetus," alcohol exerts its effects on the developing fetus through multiple actions at different sites. In the developing brain, for example, alcohol has been shown to interfere with the development, function, migration, and survival of nerve cells. Also, in the embryonic cell layer that develops into the bones and cartilage of the head and face, alcohol exposure at critical stages of development induces premature cell death that is thought to be linked to the FAS facial defects. These actions of alcohol have provided scientists with numerous paths for pursuing possible biochemical mechanisms for these actions. Better understanding of the mechanisms may point to pharmacologic approaches for intervening or for preventing alcohol-related fetal injury. Although research in animals and humans is continuing to provide details about alcohol-induced deficits, efforts to prevent these problems are not nearly so advanced. The section "Issues in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Prevention" notes that numerous strategies to prevent FAS have been implemented in recent years, but that rigorous analysis of the effectiveness of these approaches is in its infancy. The section summarizes major reviews of FAS prevention efforts, presents issues related to research methods and evaluations, and describes research on prevention approaches targeted to women at different levels of risk. Recent research underscores an intensifying need for effective prevention strategies. One study found that although alcohol use among pregnant women decreased between 1988 and 1992 (from 22.5 to 9.5 percent), by 1995 it had increased to 15.3 percent (Ebrahim et al. 1998). Moreover, binge drinking (defined in the study as five or more drinks per occasion) among pregnant women, a particularly hazardous drinking pattern in terms of FAS risk, increased significantly between 1991 and 1995 (from 0.7 to 2.9 percent of pregnant women) (Ebrahim et al. 1999). In light of these unsettling findings, and because FAS and other adverse effects of drinking during pregnancy are completely preventable, the need for a solid research base to guide prevention program developers is critical.

Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìThe Stockbridge-Munsee Indian Tribe says it will appeal a federal court decision that reduced its Shawano County reservation by about three-quarters, to about 15,000 acres. ëIt is such a complicated matter that the court ruling was 147 pages long,í Tribal president Bob Chicks said of last week's decision by U.S. Magistrate Patricia Gorence. ëWe are taking our time to review all of the details. We believe in the merits of our case and will continue to persevere.í Chicks said the ruling would be appealed to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The state went to court in 1998 after the tribe began operating slot machines at its Pine Hills Golf Course, on land the state claimed was ceded in the last century. The tribe claimed much larger borders for its reservation and had argued that there was no explicit, unequivocal, or substantial and compelling evidence that its boundaries did not include all of the towns of Red Springs and Bartelme. The tribe contended that because the tribally owned golf course was on property it considered to be within its reservation boundaries, it could legally operate the gambling devices. But the federal court issued an injunction a short time later ordering the tribe to stop operating the slots at Pine Hills. In her summary judgment ruling, Gorence said the Act of 1871 diminished the two-township Stockbridge-Munsee reservation to 18 continuous sections, or about 15,000 acres. In that act, Congress authorized the sale of 54 sections, or three-quarters of the reservation, to lumber barons. The ruling did not give an acreage for those sections. Chicks and the tribe contended that Stockbridge-Munsee lands were taken in 1871 without the knowledge of most tribal members.î] [2] ìSouth Dakota GOP Digs Up Old Charges Of Voter Irregularities, But No Evidence,î Indian Country Today, October 6, 2004. Copyright 2004 Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News and Indian Country Today, All Rights Reserved. [ìRAPID CITY, SD-- A fund-raising letter to the GOP faithful has dredged up allegations of voter irregularities in the state that many thought had been set straight. The letter from Randy Frederick, South Dakota GOP chairman, referenced irregularities in the 2002 election that some claim stole a Senate seat away from the Rep. John Thune. ëWe must do everything we can in these last nine and a half weeks to get our supporters to the polls on election day-- and prevent the voter irregularities that stole the 2002 election from us by 524 votes,í Frederick wrote. That sentence dredged up unpleasant memories of perceived intimidation toward American Indian voters who were conducting active Get Out the Vote campaigns. Immediately the Democratic Party and Sen. Tom Daschle issued a statement that said the Republicans and John Thune were turning away from Indian country with such a statement. The fundraiser was to help Republican John Thune's campaign against Sen. Daschle. The Republican Party was cited as the source of many accusations after the 2002 election over voter fraud. Democratic Sen. Johnson retained his seat by 524 votes over Thune. Frederick said there was no reference in the letter to American Indian reservations, and he is right. ëDid I ever say on Indian reservations? Some of the things prosecuted were not on Indian reservations. Daschle's people are trying to bring up racial issues I'm not,í Frederick said. Daschle and Thune are now in a dead-heat race for Daschle's Senate seat. Indian country votes are credited with keeping Sen. Tim Johnson in the Senate by 524 votes over Thune in 2002 and both parties are campaigning actively in Indian country.î] [3] ìMohawk Land Deal In The Works; Plan Said To Include $100 Million, Hundreds Of Acres Of Property,î James M. Odato, The Times Union (Albany, NY), October 6, 2004. Copyright 2004 The Hearst Corporation, All Rights Reserved. [ìMohawk tribal leaders met with Gov. George Pataki on Tuesday to complete a proposed land claim settlement important to a plan to create a casino in the Catskills. Tribal officials declined to provide details before a news conference today on the Franklin County reservation. But sources familiar with the deal said it improves on a 2003 agreement that later collapsed after the election of a new tribal government. The deal, sources said, includes $100 million for the Mohawks, with $30 million coming from the state and $70 million from the New York Power Authority; 215 acres along the St. Lawrence River; Long Sault and Croil islands; low-cost power from the state authority; and the right to buy thousands more acres. The talks included three Mohawk groups: the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Council, the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne. A tribal spokesman, Brendan White, said the deal could be put to a tribal referendum around Thanksgiving. But Steven Tullberg, a Mohawk lawyer who was at the meeting with Pataki, said negotiations may not be over. ëI would not say that negotiations were concluded,í Tullberg said. ëThere's ongoing settlement work that needs to be done.í The deal would have to be approved by Congress and that could take at least a year. Mohawk chiefs have a deal with Caesars Entertainment to build a $500 million casino in Monticello. Pataki has said he opposes granting gaming compacts to tribes until land claims are settled.î] [4] ìOneida Spoken Here; Eight Taking Classes In Tribeís Language To Keep It Alive,î Glenn Coin, The Post-Standard (Syracuse, NY), October 6, 2004. Copyright 2004 The Post-Standard, All Rights Reserved. [ìWhen Oneida Indian Nation leaders decided last year to team up with Berlitz, a language company, to teach the Oneida language, they ran into a problem: No one in the New York tribe spoke it fluently. So the nation imported two teachers from the Oneida tribe in Ontario, Canada, who have been passing on the language to eight New York Oneidas in a 40-hour-a-week class that began in February. The hope is that those eight- who graduate Oct.22- will teach the language to others and keep it alive. ëI don't want to see it die, and it's dying,í said Sheri Beglen, one of the Oneidas taking the Berlitz course. ëIt's a dire situation for the language, probably more than anyone realizes.í ëThere's no one left,í adds fellow student Penny Raymond. ëThe only way to keep it going is for us to step in and learn it and teach it.í The course is the nation's biggest effort so far to preserve the Oneida language. Scattered classes over the years have taught some Oneidas some words, but not enough for them to become fluent. ëWe could teach you 10,000 words, but if you don't know how to put them in a sentence, it doesn't matter,í said Ray George, one of two teachers brought in from the Oneida of the Thames reservation in Ontario. To teach the language, the nation contacted Berlitz in late 2002 for help. The worldwide language company, known for its conversational approach to teaching, has worked with the Lakota tribe in South Dakota. The Oneida project is far more extensive, said Deniz Ghrewati, Berlitz's district director for New England. ëIt was everything from learning the language to teaching the techniques to providing the materials,í Ghrewati said. ëIt's a total program.íî] [5] ìMattaponi Tribe Appeals To State High Court Over Reservoir,î Associated Press, October 6, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìThe Mattaponi Indian tribe has asked the state's highest court to review lower court rulings allowing the construction of a 12.2 billion-gallon reservoir that it claims violates a 17th-century treaty. In its appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, the tribe said the King William Reservoir, which proposes to siphon water from the Mattaponi River, would flood cultural sites near its 150-acre reservation and imperil the health of the shad fishery that has sustained its people for centuries. The state Water Control Board has granted a permit to the city of Newport News for construction of the reservoir. The tribe argues that the intake infrastructure for the reservoir is within a 3- mile boundary of the Mattaponi reservation- an area that the treaty between Virginia and American Indians designates as off-limits to non-Indian development. The tribe's attorneys believe it is the first time a Virginia Indian tribe has tried to assert its treaty rights in a postcolonial courtroom. Carl T. Custalow, chief of the Mattaponi, did not immediately respond to a telephone message left Wednesday. The tribe has lost lawsuits filed against the reservoir in Newport News Circuit Court and the state Court of Appeals. Most recently, on Aug. 31 the appeals court ejected the tribe's claims against the reservoir on environmental grounds. But the court transferred the tribe's treaty rights claims- which had been rejected by lower courts- to the Virginia Supreme Court. Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for the state attorney general's office, said the state will again raise arguments it successfully made in opposing the Mattaponi's suits and appeals in lower courts. The land in the Cohoke Mill Creek Valley that the reservoir will flood is not covered by the 1677 treaty, Murtaugh said. Even if the tribe had rights to the property, those were waived years ago when the Mattaponi failed to object to other development on land within three miles of the reservation, he said. In a separate petition, the tribe's attorneys argue against a 2003 ruling in Newport News Circuit Court that it had no jurisdiction to review the Mattaponi's treaty. Attorney David Bailey said the ruling contradicts federal Indian law. If the trial court's rulings are allowed to stand, Bailey wrote, it will leave the ëCommonwealth's courts bereft of the tools necessary to interpret Indian documents, close the doors of the Commonwealth's courts to her tribes and forever preclude the Mattaponi Indian Tribe from asserting its Treaty rights in opposition to this... permit.í The state has three weeks to respond to the petitions and the Supreme Court will then decide whether it will hear the case. The tribe's appeal was filed last week.î] [6] ìOregon Tribes To Join Proposed Environmental Harm Lawsuit Against DOE,î Annette Cary, Tri-City Herald, October 6, 2004. Copyright 2004 Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News and Tri-City Herald, All Rights Reserved. [ìThe Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation has notified the Department of Energy that it intends to join a suit proposed by the states of Washington and Oregon. In July the two states notified the federal government that they intended to sue DOE if it does not assess environmental harm caused by past plutonium production at Hanford. The states were required to give DOE 60 days notice before filing suit but have not sued yet. ëWe have had discussions with Energy and have not waived any of our options at the moment,í said Gary Larson, spokesman for the Washington State Office of the Attorney General. The federal Superfund law covering sites where hazardous wastes have been released requires that an assessment of harm to natural resources be completed. The tribes ëare not asking for money damages,í said Armand Minthorn, a member of the board that governs the tribes, in a prepared statement. ëWe are asking the court to order the Department of Energy to openly assess the environmental harm at Hanford.í Only when the extent of damage to plants and animals from Hanford pollution is known, can plans be developed to restore resources, he said. The states agree that a thorough assessment of damages would help make better decisions about cleanup work. But DOE has argued that damages should not be assessed while it still is cleaning up the nuclear reservation. For more than 40 years, radioactive materials were released to the air, the Columbia River and to shallow ponds on the Hanford site, say the confederated tribes, which include the Umatilla, Cayuse and Walla Walla people. Scientists for the tribes believe contamination of the Columbia River with radioactive waste and other hazardous substances from Hanford could be contributing to the decline in Northwest salmon populations. The tribes say they own treaty rights to use natural resources on Hanford and other historic tribal lands, including fishing, hunting and gathering traditional foods and medicines. The Yakama Nation filed a similar suit in federal court in 2002. The suit proposed by Washington, Oregon and the tribes could be joined with the Yakama suit.î] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

"Burying The Past Legacy of The Mountain Meadows Massacre" THURSDAY, OCT. 14 at 2:00 P.M. In Royale Skybox 209 at The Riviera On September 11, 1857, a wagon train of 120 men, women, and children bound for California were slaughtered under a white flag by Utah Mormons and their Indian Allies in one of the worst massacres in American history. Through the actual testimony of a young girl who survived, interviews with descendants, and forensic investigations, this compelling film breaks through decades of coverup to expose a story kept out of the history books. Descendants of the massacre, haunted by the tragedy to this day, struggle to find forgiveness and healing. Director's Statement "Burying The Past" has taken me six years to complete. I came upon the idea when I saw an article in the Salt Lake Tribune about these age-old enemies who were attempting to forgive each other. With all of these warring factions in the world today and the cycle of vengeance they perpetuate, it was inspiring to me to see an attempt at reconciliation. It was the humanity of the story which I found in the descendants of the massacre that I was drawn to, and wanted to bring out. I think that the film shows how difficult it is for opposing cultural groups to come together. I feel very strongly that this is a story that deserves to be told. Many people have never learned of this tragic event. It is an event that has been kept out of history books, that is not taught to children in schools, even though it is the biggest massacre of White Americans by other White Americans before Oklahoma City, and one of the most despicable crimes in the history of the American West. What took place at Mountain Meadows is still shrouded in controversy, and many people would prefer that the massacre remain forgotten. It was a difficult and risky film to make in Utah, balancing between the Church and the State, and the many people that had vested interests its outcome. The truth of what happened has been obscured by the Mormon Church's cover up, but events unfold in the film revealing evidence that is hard to deny. I'm very proud that the film captures some of the most powerful, documented evidence of what really happened at Mountain Meadows one hundred and forty seven years ago. This last year has been quite a journey with the film. I have traveled to many film festivals and have been fortunate to show the film to some of the descendants of the victims. On September 11, 2004 - the anniversary of the massacre, I had a chance to take the film back to Harrison, Arkansas where the wagon train party originated from. When these people respond so emotionally to the film it makes me feel like I really accomplished something. It was very important to me to show the point of view of the Arkansas people in that wagon train, and I think for these people, the film has given them a voice that has never been seen or heard before. In the end, however, the story of how these two groups came together in a spirit of reconciliation was at the core I why I made the film in the first place. And I hope you find the story as fascinating as I have while making it.

Supporters of a ballot measure that would give slot machines to a collection of California racetracks and card rooms conceded defeat Wednesday, 27 days before the Nov. 2 election and $24 million into a campaign that went nowhere. "No matter how much money we invest and no matter how many ads that we run ... there's not enough time to clarify these issues for the voters," said Rick Baedeker, president of the Hollywood Park racetrack and chairman of the Yes on Proposition 68 coalition. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2109> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Tribes place their bets on Prop. 70 There are 55 Indian casinos in California - and at least that many opinions among casino tribes when it comes to expanding their businesses. Some, such as the Rumsey Band of Wintun Indians in Yolo County or the United Auburn Indian Community in Placer County, have chosen the give-and-take of negotiations with the governor in order to grow. Others, like the Jackson Rancheria of Miwuk Indians in Amador County, are content to stand pat with what they've got.

I started to paste one of them on my car because of course I support all my relatives, friends and other brave men and women in the military. Then I thought, who does not support our troops? After all, they are our friends and part of our community. So why the yellow ribbon campaign? We are in a complicated time in our history. We went to war with Osama bin Laden and his terrorists. We didn't stop bin Laden. He's still there giving orders and filling his country and surrounding countries with hate. We were, however, like the alpha wolf - and with one enemy and problem seemingly addressed, we turned, teeth bared, to look for the next attacker. There in the alpha's yellow-eyed sight was our old enemy, Saddam Hussein. It was understandable. We had just been blindsided. So get Hussein before he gets us, we thought - and the wolf jumped into the fray without much support of the rest of the "pack," meaning the world. I realize that our basic instincts to protect were flaming and raw. I remember the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon Sept. 11. That attack pitched our fears to the highest level. I was driving to work at the Herald that day when the radio broke into regular programming for the terrible news. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. As soon as I got to the office, I headed for the newsroom and the television. There on the screen, the unbelievable was being played out. Inside I could feel a sickening squirm in my stomach: Would attack planes come to North Dakota next? I held my breath and stared at the screen as the towers came down in a huge cloud of white; flurries of white papers dancing over the crashing debris. Where do you hide in Armageddon? I wondered. I realized I was hundreds of miles away from New York and Washington, D.C., yet the fear that the terrorists had instilled in us was real to me. The nation scrambled to stand upright and launched an attack against the criminals. That is a natural reaction. That done, off we went into another country, taking with us thousands of our National Guard and military people and putting them in harm's way - this time, with little support from the rest of the world. When we found no weapons but only Saddam Hussein hiding in a hole, and when the war continued to take its toll on our military, a growing group of people said stop - war isn't always the answer. But they didn't put blame on the troops or our military. I doubt if anyone would say that we don't support the men and women who put their lives at risk every day. We have lost over a thousand men and women to date. Native nations have a lot at stake. We have a large percentage of men and women fighting in Iraq; we support them and honor them when they come home. But that doesn't mean we support war. It is the war and those who make the leadership decisions that need to be carefully thought through. War should be turned to only after we have exhausted every peaceful means, turned over every stone and tried everything possible to find another way to end the fighting. With that done and only with that done, war would be an answer. Thanks for the yellow ribbon, which rallies support for our troops - and I will stick a yellow ribbon on my car. But I need to say that my support for our TROOPS goes without saying. Yellow Bird writes columns Tuesdays and Saturdays.

When the boats landed, indigenous people walked towards the west carrying their sacred instruments, looking for a safe place to honor the gifts that the creator blessed them with. When the Mayflower came into view of our Turtle Island, the ancestors who carried the vision for this Red Road were at the western gate, where the Chumash people lived, by the rainbow bridge on the west coast. In 1805, when Lewis and Clark traveled to the Pacific Ocean, the sickness of greed reached our ancestors on the west coast; again, they moved to a safer place to honor the gifts that the Creator blessed them with. Today, in the ceremonies, when I look inside, I see the safe place that our ancestors found to honor the gifts that the creator blessed them with. When you stop for a little while on that Red Road that you are walking on and turn around and take a good hard look at what you are walking on, you'll see the reason why the old people call it the RED Road. For hundreds of years, people walked, ran, and even crawled on their hands and knees when they had to; they continued to walk on this path, carrying the medicine ways for the future generations that are walking behind us. The bleeding, the physical pain, the mental suffering, and the spiritual battles that our relatives went through to keep these ceremonies alive is what you'll see and feel when you take the time to look back on this Red Road that you are walking on. Spirit remembers and knows what it took for our ancestors to lay the foundation that this Red Road is built on. For me, with each step I take on this Red Road, I remember how so many people have died to keep this way of connecting to Creator alive, how so many nations were wiped away without a trace of their existence. Their medicine ways can still be felt in the wind, water, earth, and fire. I remember the invasion and the early resistance to this melting pot, from the Taino people on the eastern islands to the Iroquois confederacy, the eastern woodland peoples, the plains and prairie peoples, all the way to the fishing peoples of the pacific northwest. I remember the murdering and suffering that was done to our people in the name of GOD. These memories have been kept alive from all the way back, from when the eastern people who survived fled towards the west. Even when they could no longer walk or run, they crawled on their hands and knees, keeping their gifts and memories to pass on down to us. Remember: The Trail of Tears, the Sand Creek Massacre, the Wounded Knee Massacre, and all the countless times when our people were thrown to the ground and beaten, killed and butchered, just because they were free to walk on this road of life that the Creator gifted us with. I remember the suffering, the pain, and all the blood that was spilled onto our Mother Earth from the systematic killing of our people, and the resulting destruction of our nations, by the European people infected with the conquering wasicu mindset .

This election cycle marks the 80th anniversary of the year that Congress extended American citizenship to Indians. The year was 1924, four years after women got the vote. But few Indians actually exercise their rights, some because they never knew they could vote and others because they never thought their votes mattered. The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) is working to change that as it helps coordinate the grassroots Native Vote 2004 campaign. Posters and buttons declare „They Couldn,t!

Historically low turnout Indian voters have always turned out for tribal elections, at rates as high as 90 percent, according to Tex Hall, president of the NCAI. But for state and federal elections held separately, turnout typically nosedives to around 20 percent. This year, through „get out the vote‰ training and voter registration , the group hopes to turn out 1 million or more Indian voters. There are about 2.7 million registered Indian voters nationwide. Mildred Holmes is helping coordinate Bois Forte,s campaign to register voters and said they,ve already signed up 100 new voters this year. Holmes said there are about 700 eligible voters in the Bois Forte Band but fewer than 200 were registered in the 2002 election. She blames apathy for the poor turnout, but said Indians can,t afford to be apathetic when it comes to their future. Cheryl Day-Earley, who is assisting with the voter registration effort, said issues at both the state and federal level have a significant impact on American Indians. Key concerns include potential cuts in health and education spending. „There,s not going to be any new monies and they,re saying that the re might even be reductions,‰ said Day-Earley. „Tribes are supposed to find creative ways to do more with less.

She said part of their voter registration effort is aimed at Fortune Bay,s 450 employees, many of whom are non-Indian. The voter registration effort also targets youth, who traditionally don,t participate in elections. Day-Earley said a gaming night, featuring free food and a drawing for prizes, is scheduled Thursday, Oct. 7, at 6 p.m. at the Nett Lake Visitor Center. The event is geared toward attracting young adults who will have an opportunity to register to vote. Minnesota campaign Similar efforts are underway across Minnesota where voter registration is tied into pow wows or other community gatherings. Bois Forte also distributed free T-shirts as part of its voter registration effort. Minnesota,s effort started last May when heads of the Mille Lacs Band and Prairie Island Community invited representatives from the state,s 11 reservations to a training session. Judy Hanks, project development coordinator for the Mille Lacs Band and coordinator for the statewide Get Out the Native Vote campaign, noted that the effort is nonpartisan. Although the campaign won,t make endorsements, Hanks said candidates, stands on the issues will be provided so people can make informed decisions when they go to the polls. The impact could be significant. Although American Indians represent a small portion of the voting population in the nation at large, Northeastern Minnesota is one of several sites identified as a high-density focus district by the NCAI. Six reservations ˜ Bois Forte, Grand Portage, Leech Lake, Mille Lacs, Sandy Lake and a portion of Fond du Lac ˜ sit inside congressional District 8. According to NCAI, there are 12,076 eligible American Indian voters on and off reservations in the district and they account for 2.6 percent of the total vote. With a potential 33,000 voters statewide, Hanks noted that Indians can make a real difference in Minnesota ˜ especially in one of the battleground states for the presidential election. The Indian vote already has had an impact in other states. Thanks to registration drives in South Dakota, the number of Indians voting in some primary elections increased nearly 300 percent over 2002 numbers. Meanwhile, Arizona,s Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano credits an unusally large American Indian turnout for her victory. „Without the Native Americans, I wouldn,t be standing here today,‰ she said in July at the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

This election cycle marks the 80th anniversary of the year that Congress extended American citizenship to Indians. The year was 1924, four years after women got the vote.

Copyright 2004 Canada NewsWire Ltd., All Rights Reserved. [ìAssembly of First Nations National Chief Phil Fontaine and Chief Maureen Chapman, the chair of the AFN's Women's Council, expressed support for the Amnesty International report Stolen Sisters: Discrimination and Violence Against Indigenous Women in Canada, which was officially released today. ëThis report highlights, in national and international frames of reference, the violence First Nations and other Aboriginal women face and the need for a more comprehensive and effective response from governments, law enforcement and social service agencies,í said National Chief Fontaine. ëWe have seen far too many examples of violence against First Nations women, who face five times the likelihood of violent death between the ages of 25 and 44 than the average Canadian woman, a fact highlighted in this report.í Chief Chapman of the AFN Women's Council pointed out that the AFN Women's Council has created a portfolio system that includes, among others, a file on violence against First Nations women. However, she added that resources are necessary to support efforts aimed at reducing the marginalization of First Nations women in Canada. ëExternal policies and legislation that have been imposed on our people, such as the Indian Act, which discriminates against First Nations women, create impacts on all aspects of women's lives,í said Chief Chapman. ëThese policies have led to serious negative attitudes about First Nations women in Canada and we must work to improve the situation.í ëThis work covers a broad spectrum of issues,í said National Chief Fontaine. ëIt is not simply a matter of changing law enforcement policies, although that is part of it. It will involve a commitment by the government of Canada and our own First Nations governments to find and support solutions to protect First Nations and other Aboriginal women.íî] [2] ìPark Officials Hope Mound Can Be Saved From Erosion; Archaeologist Wants To Excavate Artifacts From Hopewell Site,î Kristy Eckert, Columbus Dispatch, October 4, 2004. Copyright 2004 Columbus Dispatch, All Rights Reserved. [ìArchaeologists have long-known more about how the Hopewells died than about how they lived. Now, some worry that the clues needed to unearth details of the mysterious people are being washed away. The North Fork of Paint Creek, winding near a mound in the Hopewell Culture National Historic Park, is slowly chiseling its way to the buried artifacts that historians hope will help tell the story. ëThis is part of our heritage,í said Dean Alexander, superintendent of the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. The park last year acquired the land where the erosion has occurred. Now, Alexander is working with engineers to decide how to best fix the problem. Rather than spend more than $1 million building a wall to stop the erosion, which also would have ruined part of the land, Alexander has requested $360,000 from the government to excavate before the artifacts are swept away. The cost will be worth the knowledge, Alexander said. Not a lot is known about the Hopewells, ëbut we know that these people did some pretty amazing things,í he said. The park, about 50 miles south of Columbus, includes many of the largest earthworks by various ancient cultures scattered between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. Archaeologists say American Indians created the dirt mounds about 2,000 years ago. At the Hopewell Mound group, a 5-mile wall encircles more than 20 mounds in an area large enough to hold more than 100 football fields. Its largest mound at one point was more than 30 feet high. The mounds were used as ceremonial burial grounds, and human remains have been found inside. Other materials brought from all over what is now the United States have been discovered there as well, including effigy pipes and copper carved into bird shapes, shark teeth from Florida and volcanic glass from the Yellowstone National Park region. But while archaeologists know a lot about the burial grounds-- in particular, how the Hopewells cared for them- ëTheir daily life away from the earthworks remains a mystery,í said Kathy Brady-Rawlins, an archaeologist at the park. The park may yield clues.î] [3] ìOne Badlands Tourist Center Now Run By Tribe,î Associated Press, October 4, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [Members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe staffed the visitor center in the Badlands National Park's south unit from August until the close of the season last week. The tribe hopes to take over the south unit's management. Jimmy Sam, tribal parks department director, said road improvements and new buildings could attract more than 500,000 people to the reservation. ëThis is actually history in the making,í he said. There is a change in the way the tribe and its members look at outsiders. ëTourism is not necessarily a bad word. You don't base your culture on it, but at the same time, it's a means of economic development.í That vision is years away, but visitors to the south unit last week already noticed a difference. ëIt's a real treat to be able to talk to a real Native American and hear the real story,í said Wendell Fenton of Chadds Ford, Penn. He and his wife had just come from Wounded Knee. ëA majority of the people that come through, come through wanting to hear about life on the reservation,í said Tony Wounded Head, who staffed the center last week. But many also exhibit stereotypes. He said one visitor asked him, ëWhat's wrong with you? Where's your long hair?í A Lakota Heritage and Education Center is planned for Red Shirt, in the northwest part of the reservation, Sam said. It has been in the works since the 1970s but awaits funding from Congress. The money is not in the 2005 U.S. Park Service budget, said William Supernaugh, Badlands National Park superintendent. Also, the tribe wants to pave BIA Highway 2 and build a ëworld- class fossil repositoryí near its intersection with Highway 41, according to Sam. The fossil building could resolve a dispute between the tribe and paleontologists, he said. The researchers want access to the south unit's fossils, but tribal members protested in 2002 and halted fossil collecting. Both sides agree the fossils should be preserved, but the tribe sees them as its responsibility, Sam said. Building a fossil center, with curators appointed by the tribe, could save the fossils and keep them in tribal hands, he said. ëThat's a goal we could support,í Supernaugh said, ëbut it's one that is not likely to occur quickly because at the present time, there is not a tribal facility or trained paleontologist-curator.í The tribe's tourism goal is lofty and would require roads, gas stations, hotels and attractions such as the cultural center and fossil facility, Supernaugh said. ëYou could probably get a quarter of a million people fairly easily.í The White River Visitor Center management transfer has worked so far, he said. ëIt allowed the tribe to develop a cadre of people who, with training and experience, are able to tell the Lakota story on Lakota land.í The center now attracts several thousand visitors a year. More than 1 million people a year visit the Badlands' north unit center.î] [4] ìTribe Says It Will Sue Lobbyists Over Huge Fees,î Associated Press, October 4, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìLeaders of the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana say they plan to sue Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff and public relations consultant Mike Scanlon to get back $32 million the tribe paid them for lobbying. Coushatta Tribal Council chairman Lovelin Poncho and council members William G. Worfel and Leonard Battise made the comment in a two-page statement released Saturday. Last week, the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs held hearings into huge fees that tribes paid Abramoff and Scanlon, a former aide to U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas. Abramoff appeared before the committee but asserted his Fifth Amendment right when questioned. Scanlon did not appear before the committee. Records indicate six tribes, including the Coushattas, paid Abramoff and Scanlon more than $66 million in three years. The Coushattas alone paid Abramoff and Scanlon more than $32 million. Coushatta spokesman Roy Fletcher said Coushatta tribal leaders ëwere repulsedí by the revelations of ëracial and derogatory communicationsí by lobbyists who worked for the tribe. Those comments were made in e-mails sent by Abramoff to Scanlon, in which clients were referred to as ëmonkeys,í ëstupidí and ëidiots.í ëIt is now obvious that these so-called professionals had absolutely no respect for the people, heritage and culture of their Native American clients,í Worfel said. Abramoff and Scanlon were hired by the tribal council because of ëserious competitive threats to their gaming business,í Worfel said. Fletcher said Kent Hance, an Austin, Texas attorney hired by the Coushatta leadership, has been working with federal authorities who are investigating Abramoff and Scanlon's activities. He said neither an internal tribal investigation nor the committee investigation uncovered any wrongdoing by the tribe or the council in their dealings with Abramoff and Scanlon.î] [5] ìTribal Leaders Say Michigan's American Indians Becoming More Involved In Politics,î Associated Press, October 4, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìTribal leaders say American Indians in Michigan are becoming more involved in the political scene. ëI see a lot more interest,í said Robert Kewaygoshkum, chairman of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. ëThere's more of our people running for tribal offices, more people getting registered (to vote) and getting involved in local issues, too.í Angela McGrath, who spends most of her time raising eight children in the growing American Indian community of Leelanau County's Peshawbestown, said she is paying closer attention to both national and state candidates and issues this election year. McGrath said a turning point for her was the terror attacks of Sept. 11. ëI think that 9/11 changed things for me,í McGrath, a member of the Bay Mills Indian Community, told the Traverse City Record-Eagle for a story Sunday. ëIt made me think about how things are being run in this country.... I think it opened up everybody's eyes a little bit more.í Even with the growing economic and political clout of tribes like the Grand Traverse Band, tribal officials say it still is an uphill fight to protect their sovereignty from state and federal intervention. Leaders say both political parties make overtures during the campaign season about improving relations and advancing tribal issues. But interest typically fades after election day, they say. ëI don't think they're focused on our issues... only at election time when they need the votes,í said George Bennett, a tribal councilor and former chairman who is known in political circles in Lansing and Washington. He gives most lawmakers poor marks on dealing with American Indian concerns. The Grand Traverse Band gave $25,000 this year to the Democratic National Committee. But its political money flows to both sides of the aisle. It also donated up to $2,000 to U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Midland and fellow GOP Rep. J.D. Hayworth of Arizona. Prominent Democrats receiving financial support from the band include Reps. Charles Rangel of New York and Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island. ëAs Indian tribes we look far more to the individual and their positions than we look to their party affiliation,í said Frank Ettawageshik, chairman of the Petoskey-based Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. ëA good deal of the issues for tribes are really nonpartisan issues.í Ettawageshik said there's also growing enthusiasm in his tribe for this year's elections. He said more members are taking part in tribal elections, and their interest is expanding beyond local politics.î] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

Copley News Service [=93Sacramento, CA: The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider a= legal challenge aimed squarely at the multibillion-dollar monopoly that= California Indian tribes enjoy on slot machines and Nevada-style casinos. = The lawsuit brought by a group of San Francisco Bay area card clubs argued= that federal law prohibits California from giving tribes an exclusive right= to conduct forms of gambling that are otherwise illegal in the state. . .= .The court declined without comment to review the case, Artichoke Joe's v.= Norton.

The lawsuit brought by a group of San Francisco-area card clubs argued that federal law prohibits California from giving tribes an exclusive right to conduct forms of gambling that are otherwise illegal in the state. The card clubs also argued that gambling agreements between the state and more than 60 tribes including 14 in San Diego County clearly violate equal protection guarantees in the U.S. Constitution. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2101> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> More news can be found at Kumeyaay.com <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news.html?catid=1> Latest News <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> San Diego State University Department of American Indian Studies School and Community Retreat At the Mission Trails Park Visitor Center Saturday, November 13 9:00- 3:00 San Diego State University Department of American Indian Studies Please come and be part of: *Helping SDSU to develop a stronger American Indian educational community network *Sharing ideas for educational projects and goals *Developing a major in American Indian Studies at SDSU *And more! <http://kumeyaay.com/news/events.html?month=11&year=2004&day=13&tid =1> Read the entire event >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> More events can be found at Kumeyaay.com <http://kumeyaay.com/news/events.html?month=10&year=2004&tid=1&sm= 1> Events Calendar <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/pixel.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/daily_news/news_bugbee.gif> Richard Bugbee is a Payoomkawichum (Luiseño) Indian from northern San Diego County.

The visual image helps explain why "Indian people - voters - can be apathetic about their issues," said University of Alaska Anchorage's Director of Native Studies and Associate Professor of History, Dr. Jeanne Eder. "If you study federal Indian policies, you'll find the ones that promote tribal integrity mirror liberal administrations - those are the ones at the top of the zigzag. Conversely when the conservatives are in control, the sovereignty and rights of Native people tend to come under fire," Eder, who is a member of the Dakota-Lakota Sioux tribe, continued. "And because people's memories are short, when we're coming out of a conservative era like we are now, Indians can be so alienated that they can't imagine how voting would do any good. It's the same when the liberals are in power, Indians can get lulled into thinking their battles are won. That's where history comes in. It shows how cyclical the political system is, and how important vigilance is. How important it is for Indians to come together and use the political process as a force for change." <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2105> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Rockin' out the Native vote - 'Rez Rock the Vote' airs on PBS Navajo punk rockers Blackfire are headlining the Navajo Get Out The Vote concert tour on the Navajo Nation.

In 1954 Linton became the first member of a California Indian tribe to attend college, an accomplishment she achieved after growing up on the Morongo Reservation in Southern California, a place she recalls as „scary‰ yet „comfortable.‰ <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2102> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Self-governance - it's not just for white folks anymore In Indian country, we should probably insist, first off, that our ancestors have never gotten the credit they deserve from this country for surviving. Survival wasn't as easy then as it seems now, and they never would have made it if they'd spent centuries wandering in a daze until they came across a dead buffalo beside a cold spring, with a lightning strike for fire somewhere in the background. To the contrary, tribes cooperated with and among each other on everything from buffalo hunts to the fish catch and crop harvests, none of which could have happened if our tribes had not known all about self-governance. But assuming the president isn't going to have too much time for Indian history, let's move right along to the second point we should make about the potential for self-governance of brown-skinned peoples - namely, that Indians too can govern themselves, and all the better if the federal government would permit as much and provide reasonable means (little enough to ask in view of our treaties). Instead, we get a federal Indian affairs bureaucracy whose salaried legions have spent almost every waking moment, at least since the 1975 passage of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, figuring out how to delay the day when they hand off authority to tribes. <http://kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2107> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> More news can be found at Kumeyaay.com <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news.html?catid=1> Latest News <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Events can be found at Kumeyaay.com <http://kumeyaay.com/news/events.html?month=10&year=2004&tid=1&sm= 1> Events Calendar <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/pixel.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/daily_news/news_bugbee.gif> Richard Bugbee is a Payoomkawichum (Luiseño) Indian from northern San Diego County.

After 15 years of development and $219 million in costs, Washington, D.C. introduced a museum on the National Mall Tuesday that recognizes the historic contributions of Native Americans. Ironically, say a wide range of religious, civil rights and Native American, organizations, long after the hoopla of the unveiling dies down, the most resounding roar rising out of Washington will be the praises lifted to a degrading icon. „ŒRedskins, is the most derogatory name our people can be called‰ tantamount to calling an African American a nigger, a Latino a spic or a Caucasian a honkie says Suzan Harjo, who heads the Morning Star Institute, a national Indian rights organization. Most people believe that the term „Redskins‰ relates to the color of Native Americans, skin, which is derogatory enough, but the moniker has a far more nefarious connotation Harjo says. She points to government-sanctioned bounties that White men put on Indians that could be collected by producing the dead bodies of her ancestors. As it became increasingly difficult to store and transport heaps of putrid, rotting corpses, colonial governors, and subsequently U.S. officials, agreed to pay for Indians, scalps and skins, which were crammed into sacks. Colonists often scalped Indians and stripped the corpses of skin, says Dartmouth College historian Colin Calloway. Tina Holder, whose origins are Blackfoot, Cherokee and Choctaw, is a longtime opponent of the „Redskins‰ name. She offers the following description: „Back not so long ago, when there was a bounty on the heads of the Indian people... the trappers would bring in Indian scalps along with the other skins that they had managed to trap or shoot,‰ says Holder, whose arguments were included in a recent court filing in support of Harjo's claim. „Trappers and hunters began using the term Œredskin, ...they would tell the owner that they had bearskin, deerskins...and Œredskins., The term came from the bloody mess that one saw when looking at the scalp ...thus the term Œred,...skin... So, you see when we see or hear that term...we don't see a football team... we don't see a game being played...we don't see any Œhonor,...we see the bloody pieces of scalps that were hacked off of our men, women and even our children... we hear the screams as our people were killed...and Œskinned, just like animals. So, yes, ...you can safely say that the term is considered extremely offensive.‰ Holder is not alone. There are more than 500 Native groups, hundreds of tribes and tens of thousands of signatures calling for the retirement of the more than 3,000 Indian-name mascots currently in use. The United States Commission on Civil Rights, chaired by Elsie Meeks, a highly respected Lakota woman, has urged public schools to cease with such names. In 1992, the NAACP issued a resolution stating that Indian logos undermine „self-determination and dignity of Indian people‰ and urged all teams to change their names; for athletes, particularly Black athletes, to use their influence to effect change; and for everyone to stop purchasing items with racist logos. Others standing against Indian-name teams include the National Education Association, the United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association In 1999, after seven years of litigation, Harjo, with the support of many of these groups, convinced a three-judge appeals board of the federal Patent and Trademark Office to cancel the Washington pro football club,s moniker on the grounds that the name disparages Native Americans, which is a violation of federal law. Four years later, however, a lone federal District Court judge overturned the decision, saying that the decision was not supported by the record and that challengers had waited too long to file their claims. Now Harjo is asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to reinstate the original decision. The court will hear oral arguments Nov. 23. In August, Indian and religious organizations filed friend-of-the-court briefs on behalf of Harjo. They include the National Congress of American Indians, representing two-thirds of the 327 federally recognized tribes; the National Indian Youth Council, the largest Indian youth organization; the Tulsa Indian Coalition Against Racism, founded by 39 Indian Nations; and the Religious Interfaith Council of the Washington Metropolitan area. One group that could be more supportive, says Harjo and others, is the African American community, who know firsthand the pain and degradation of racist labeling. It wasn,t that long ago that one could go into a store and purchase „Nigger Head Oysters‰ or a jet-black, red-lipped Aunt Jemima pancake box or buffoonish „Sambo‰ and „Black-Mammy‰ knick-knacks. Black people with their relatively newfound political power and consumer clout could now insist that society tear down its derogatory images and lower its rebel flags from state capitals. They could even demand that presidential candidates show up at their churches on Sunday morning. In addition, during this nation,s infancy, Blacks fleeing slavery often found the Indian Nations their only refuge, and Blacks frequently ascended to the highest ranks of Native American culture. Many African Americans can trace their roots to Native American tribes. In fact, during the mid-19th century at least 13 Indian tribes had so many Blacks that the federal government wanted to reclassify them as Negro. Still, some of the Blackest cities in America boast teams with names like „ Redskins,‰ „Indians,‰ „Chiefs,‰ „Braves,‰ and „Seminoles. ‰ „What,s happening to us is very similar to what happened to Black people,‰ says Harjo, noting that the NAACP has made no public comment since issuing its proclamation 12 years ago. „During your struggle, we all pitched in and didn ,t ask why. We have a common history. For all those reasons, we need to help each other out. This is a dignity and justice issue, and it is heartbreaking that we are not supported by Black people. We would never support blatant kinds of racism.‰ When contacted by BET.com, the NAACP declined comment, referring this reporter to the resolution it issued in 1992. A spokeswoman for D.C.'s Black mayor, Anthony Williams, said she could not remember any recent position by the mayor, who was unavailable for comment. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), an African American, told BET.com that the name should be changed because anything so offensive "is unacceptable." Councilwoman Carol Swartz (R), a White woman, has also been vocal in her opposition to the name. Indians need help, says Harjo, because the U.S. government was so successful in its multi-tiered, multi-century plan to exterminate Native peoples that a Million Indian March is an unlikely scenario. According to the 16th-century historian Bartolome de las Casas, between 1492, when Christopher Columbus arrived in the western hemisphere, and 1560, some 40 million Indians had either been slaughtered by Europeans or died from the White man,s disease. Methods to get rid of Indians included hanging them en masse, roasting them on spits, hacking their children into pieces to be used as dog food, and a long list of even more horrendous practices, las Casas wrote. A number of modern-era historians agree that there were between 50 million to 100 million Indians in the so-called New World before Europeans arrived, and that 90 percent to 95 percent of those were eliminated over the next few centuries. „The decline of Native American populations was rapid and severe, probably the greatest demographic disaster ever,‰ writes University of Wisconsin Professor William M. Denevan in his The Pristine Myth: The Landscape of the Americas in 1492. „An overall drop from 53.9 million in 1492 to 5.6 million in 1650 amounts to an 89 percent reduction.‰ And the White man,s policies to rid the American landscape of Indians continued throughout the 19th century. But many sports fans say that focusing on America,s bloody past misses the point that Indian names honor Native Americans. Others say concentrating on a team,s name is a waste of time. „We got high unemployment in the Black community, little girls and boys being taken out by stray bullets, and people trying to figure out how to pay the gas bill,‰ said Dar,rell Claxton of Northeast Washington, D.C. „Worry ing about whether a team is called the ŒRedskins, or the ŒBlackskins, i s wasted motion.‰ Karl Swanson, the Redskins, vice president for communications, says that team officials „have no plans to change the name,‰ even though „we ,d make a lot of money if we changed the name because we could re-sell everything everybody already bought. As far as I can see, the name will last forever. „We, like them, have the freedom of our belief about what these things stand for, what they represent," he continued. "If [they] think it,s offensive, does that, per se, mean it is? It is pretty well established that there are words that have come to take on meanings beyond the actual word itself. Not to be trite, but when kids say things are Œcool,, that doesn,t mean it ,s cold; when they say something,s Œthe bomb,, that doesn,t mean it will explode. It, s pretty well understood that in football, the Washington Redskins stands for a tradition that honors Native Americans.‰ Says Harjo: „How can we be honored by the name of the Washington football team, a name that reminds us of the heinous and horrible things that have been done to us? Why must we constantly be reminded of the terrible things in our past? If you want to help us, help us address the problems of diabetes; help us with problems of poor housing. We,re at the bottom of the ladder in so many different categories. We need help, but we don,t need a name that hurts us.‰ Even some longtime fans acknowledge that it might be time to abandon a mascot that has proved to be hurtful to such a significant segment of society. „I,ve been a supporter of the Washington Redskins since I got to D.C. over 28 years ago,‰ says Mason Bennett, a retired dentist. „But I,ve thou ght about this issue a lot over the past couple of years, and I don,t think I,d stop routing for them just because they changed the name. „A friend of mine said something that makes more sense every time I hear it: ŒWhat kind of person would go up to a Native American and say, Hey Redskin? You,d have to be either a racist or just plain insensitive not to understand how wrong that would be.‰ Related Stories _Historic Dialogue between Indigenous Groups_ (http://news.pacificnews.org/news/view_article.html? article_id=067873a3ad5b9d7c59291649b1beb72b) _California Tribes Push for Higher Profile in Water Wars, Salmon Debates_ (http://news.pacificnews.org/news/view_article.html? article_id=acbb86fc9008a8c966 08354a3890a90a) _Native Youth on Outkast's Grammy Performance_ (http://youthoutlook.org/news/view_article.html? article_id=7497735b4c528abd9e6f9f728871a778) _Outkast Wins One for Hip Hop: So, what if they dressed like Indians?_ (http://www.youthoutlook.org/news/view_article.html? article_id=72531093d4bf2c61ccacf 98f1dd92786) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 14:04:46 -0700 From: Andre Cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: FWD: Anniversary (event) --Apple-Mail-2-505085568 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Next year is the "100th" anniversary of the first Columbus Day parade held on Turtle Island which was here in Colorado.

Coacoochee was born in Florida ca. 1812 and died in Coahuila in 1857. He= first emerges in the documentary record as a brilliant military strategist= during the Second Seminole War (1835-42). After Removal to the Indian= Territory, he assumed the important role of speaker, making public= pronouncements on behalf of the _micco_ (principal chief) of the Seminoles.= Although he had a claim to the succession, Coacoochee's cousin became= micco in 1849. Coacoochee and his town, along with a band of maroons, then= removed to Mexico. There, with a band of Southern Kickapoos, they= established a military colony at El Nacimiento, near Musquiz, Coahuila, and= engaged in expeditions against _Indios Barbaros_. Coacoochee died of= smallpox in 1857, and his family members and Seminole followers returned to= the Indian Territory in 1859 and 1861. _Coacoochee's Bones_ is the culmination of a lifetime of interest in the= Seminole leader. Miller comes from a family of Seminole historians,= educators, and curators, and learned about Coacoochee as a child. She= studied and wrote about him for both her Master's thesis and her Ph.D.= dissertation, but this work represents the pinnacle of her scholarship to= date. It is a provocative book. Miller is angry at the _hutke_ (white) historians= who have treated Coacoochee as a "minor and aberrant figure" (p. xi), a= "joker" (p. 20), or a gaily-attired, drunken lush (pp. 38-42). She is also= angry at the long and continuing history of hutke meddling in western= Seminole affairs. Her preface amounts to a manifesto: "This book is a= contribution towards the decolonization of my tribe's western history"(p.= xii). Miller uses Seminole terms without italics ("the foreign language= here is English"), indigenous names instead of forms familiar to American= readers, and the first person, because "some passages require my personal= voice"(pp. xii-xiii). At times, she can appear condescending, as in,= "Here, then, is a short course in Seminole culture and history" (p. 1). = Elsewhere, she comes across as both humorous and opinionated, as in a= header for a section on the assassination of a Seminole agent: "Wiley= Thompson Had It Coming" (p. 34). Miller has pursued Coacoochee's history for twenty-two years in archives in= Oklahoma, Texas, Coahuila, Mexico City, Connecticut, Harlem, and= Washington, D.C. She also has combed the published and unpublished= literature, visited historic sites associated with Coacoochee, and= interviewed his descendants and other Seminoles and maroons for nuggets of= information that would throw light upon the character, motives, and actions= of this fascinating but elusive man. Yet because of deficiencies in the= documentary record, much about Coacoochee remains unknown. I have followed= the same research trail as Miller, and I know this to be true. When sources dry up, Miller applies the work of anthropologists John R.= Swanton and Richard A. Sattler, and her own extensive first-hand knowledge= of Seminole culture and society, to fill gaps in the record. By tracing= his lineage, kinship relations, clan and town affiliations, role within the= Seminole hierarchy, and claims to hereditary leadership, she paints a more= complete portrait of Coacoochee. Miller is not afraid to speculate. She= scales her speculations according to her level of conviction, from "might= have been," through "would have been," to "must have been." Some= historians will feel discomfort with a statement like: "Assuming that= Coacoochee's town persisted in the practices that are known from other= Seminole communities, we can speculate about some of the activities in his= town at El Nacimiento" (p. 163). Yet she typically uses such speculation= to excellent effect, as in her presentation of the Seminole Ceremonial= Calendar, which derives from tabulations of "probable" annual cycles in= Florida and Mexico (Tables 1, 5, pp. 157, 159). Miller's work ultimately= leads to new and significant conclusions, such as, "The Mexican Seminoles= had been two separate groups all along" (p. 182). Miller has a keen appreciation of the importance of physical geography in= explaining Seminole migrations and settlement patterns. Never before has= there been such a thorough mapping of the places Coacoochee visited or= inhabited in the Indian Territory, Texas, and Mexico. She also does a= masterful job of describing the rich ethnic diversity of the Little River= country of the 1840s. Nowhere, though, is she better than in describing= the intrigue surrounding Coacoochee's proposed and actual settlement in= Mexico. On Miller's beautifully written pages, frontier characters come to= life, plots thicken, and history unfolds as drama.=20 Miller pulls no punches in attacking the American historian Kenneth W.= Porter, accusing him of an "ethnocentric misunderstanding of the Seminole= people and an exaggerated estimation of the importance of Africans to the= Seminole government" (p. 64). While she has grounds for this charge,= Miller underestimates the diplomatic clout wielded by prominent maroons,= and the extent of their influence upon Seminole leaders like Coacoochee. = She also argues that Porter's "interpretation forms a model that subsequent= scholars have adopted without testing" (p. 64). But a more accurate= generalization would be that Porter's has become the interpretation of= choice in the popular media. In place of this hutke history, Miller constructs a Seminole centered= ethnohistory of Coacoochee, leading to a more "sensible understanding of= him" (p. 21). From composite Seminole knowledge emerges "the image of a= gifted man of elite lineage who moved within an indigenous family network= and community within an indigenous cosmos, and it makes sense of him as an= indigenous leader in extreme times" (p. 21). Some might take issue with= her methods, arguments, opinions, and attacks, but few would dispute that= she has produced the definitive biography of Coacoochee. By placing him= squarely within his indigenous context, she brings new methodology,= understanding, and insight to Seminole history. Hopefully, Miller will go= on to produce more work in this vein, and others will follow her lead. Copyright 2004 by H-Net, all rights reserved.

Wanted: suggestions for course texts on 20th cent. West ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 09:02:28 -0500 From: ewest <ewest@UARK.EDU> Subject: Workshop: Shifting Borders The University of Kansas, in Partnership with Haskell Indian Nations University, Presents Workshop on November 4-5, 2004 Lawrence, Kansas The University of Kansas (KU), in partnership with Haskell Indian Nations University, is pleased to announce the second workshop sponsored by the Ford Foundation project Shifting Borders of Race and Identity. Activities for day one will be held on KU's main campus in Alderson Auditorium located on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Lunch will be served for all participants in the Centennial Room located on the sixty floor. After the workshop, the History Department will co-host a reception in the Mallott Room also located in the Union. Day two of the workshop will be held on the campus of Haskell Indian Nations University at the Haskell Cultural Center. The focus of the second workshop in this series is "The Role of Research in Building Communities." The intent of the workshop is to advance scholarship that focuses on social action, collaboration, and community building with African Americans and First Nations Peoples. Specific topics of interest include historical and contemporary conceptions of identity; oral memory, folklore and literature; curricular research and interdisciplinary approaches for working in communities of color. Distinguished historian and interdisciplinary scholar James F. Brooks will provide the keynote address for this workshop. Brooks is the author of several books and articles that focus on intercultural borderlands and relationships between African Americans and First Nations. These include Captives and Cousins: Slavery, Kinship and Community in the Southwest Borderlands and Confounding the Color Line: The Indian-Black Experience in North America. In 2003 Captives and Cousins won the Frederick Jackson Turner Award, the Bancroft Prize, the Parkman Prize, the Frederick Douglas Prize, the Wheeler-Voegelin Prize, and the Caroline Bancroft Honor Book Award. His book in preparation, Nations, Tribes and Colors: Borderland Peoples and a History for the Twenty-first Century, is under contract with Harvard University Press. A limited number of travel scholarships will also be available for participating scholars working in this area. While there is no fee to attend the workshop, pre-registration is requested by Wednesday, October 20,2004.

AB 858 (Goldberg) update	Begin forwarded message: From: "Natalie Stites" <natstites@hotmail.com> Date: October 3, 2004 7:40:30 PM PDT Subject: AB 858 (Goldberg) update FYI. Natalie Stites '07 J.D./M.A. Candidate in Law & American Indian Studies Program in Public Interest Law & Policy UCLA School of Law ------------------------- Dear ALLARM Member: On September 21, 2004, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the historic civil rights bill AB 858 (Goldberg). His veto message: I am returning Assembly Bill 858 without my signature: Existing statute already affords local school boards general control over all aspects of their interscholastic athletic policies, programs, and activities. Decisions regarding athletic team names, nicknames or mascots should be retained at the local level. At a time when we should all be working together to increase the academic achievement of all California's students, adding another non-academic state administrative requirement for schools to comply with takes more focus away from getting kids to learn at the highest levels. For these reasons, I am unable to support this legislation. Although we are disappointed in the governor's decision, we have no intention of abandoning our cause. Our position, supported by academic research, educators, civil rights organizations and tribes throughout the nation, is that all "Indian" mascots make academic achievement more difficult for Native American students. It is only a matter of time before officially-sanctioned racism is eliminated in California's public schools, and the academic achievement of all students is valued by our state and local governments. We hope this legislation can be used by local groups demanding respect and dignity in their public schools, despite the Governor's veto. The California Legislature no longer supports "redskins" images in public schools, and local school boards need to take heed that their use of racist imagery is no longer acceptable public policy in California. No other state Legislature has taken this unprecedented step before, and we respectfully thank the California Legislature for the passage of this legislation. ALLARM's Steering Committee would also like to thank every ALLARM member, Assemblymember Jackie Goldberg and her staff, the National Conference for Community and Justice, Hoopa Tribal Council and Youth Council, the State Assembly for Youth, MALDEF, NAACP, ACLU, Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante, Senator Richard Alarcon, Senator Edward Vincent, Senator Kevin Murray, Senator Gil Cedillo, Senator Wesley Chesbro, Senator Sheila Kuehl, Assemblymember Judy Chu, Assemblymember John Longville, Assemblymember George Nakano, Assemblymember Marco Firebaugh, the California Nations Indian Gaming Association, our advisors and supporters: Anita Garcia, Susan Shown Harjo, Cornell Pewewardy, Barb and Bob Munson, Sylvia Machamer, Stephanie Fryberg, Ilona Turner, Michael Pipe, Victor Rocha; Joel Kirsch, Chairman Lyle Marshall, Delanna Studi, Lisa Sueki, Hillary Basset, Ben Wright, Fran Spears, Joann Willis-Newton and all of our allies who helped get this legislation through the Legislature and to the Governor's desk. With your help, we will continue to fight this battle at the local and state level. Please urge others to become ALLARM members, and become part of this movement. They can sign up easily at http://www.allarm.org.

Copyright 2004, All Rights Reserved. [ìWashington: As he labors to deliver Florida for President Bush in the November election, Ralph Reed, the campaign's Southeast chairman, is being shadowed by a lobbying scandal. With a grand jury investigation under way and the first of what promises to be a series of contentious congressional hearings last week, Reed, former Georgia Republican Party chairman, remains a tangential figure in the alleged scheme by two prominent Washington operatives involving an Indian casino in Texas. Reed has acknowledged that his consulting firm, Century Strategies, was hired in late 2001 by lobbyist Jack Abramoff to help close the Speaking Rock Casino in El Paso. Abramoff, with public relations consultant Michael Scanlon, had been hired by tribes with competing casinos in Mississippi and Louisiana to push for the closure of the El Paso casino, which was owned by the Tigua tribe. Reed was paid at least $4 million to help mobilize public and political sentiment in favor of closing the casino. Investigators now say that after the casino closed, Abramoff and Scanlon convinced the Tigua tribe --- which didn't know of the pair's role in the closing --- to hire them to help reopen it. Abramoff refused to answer questions before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee last week, citing his Fifth Amendment right to avoid making statements that might prove self-incrimina- ting. Scanlon didn't show at the hearing. U.S. marshals said they couldn't find him to serve his subpoena. Reed has said he knew nothing about Abramoff and Scanlon's activities after the closing of the casino. But two congressmen sent a letter to President Bush last week calling it ëtroublingí that Reed was continuing to play a high-profile role in Bush's re-election campaign despite the ongoing investigations. Rep. Mark Udall (D- Colo.) and Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) asked Bush to clarify what role, if any, Reed is playing in shaping federal policy concerning Indian tribes. The lawmakers acknowledged Reed's involvement in the casino deal ëis as yet unclear.í But, they wrote, ëIn light of Mr. Reed's involvement in these questionable financial transactions, it is troubling that he has such a prominent position in a presidential campaign.í Reed Dickens, a spokesman for Bush's campaign, said Reed advises the campaign on political communication matters, not policy.î] [2] ìAmerican Indian Inmate Sues to Gain Native Religious Rights, Associated Press writer, October 3, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press & Local Wire, All Rights Reserved. [ìLincoln, Neb. An American Indian inmate serving a life sentence for murder has sued the state, claiming Nebraska is violating federal law by not allowing Indians behind bars to practice their native religion. Richard Walker, a 57- year-old Winnebago, filed the lawsuit, saying he is frustrated by the inability of Indian inmates to meet as a group and have their own club at the Nebraska State Penitentiary. ëYes, they do have the right to keep us locked up here,í Walker told the Lincoln Journal Star. ëBut still, we have rights as human beings.í Walker said he and other tribal members in the prison must meet in secret, because they're not allowed to gather as a group. During one such secret meeting in the prison's yard to pray and honor the spirits of loved ones, they were spotted by a guard who summons other guards to break up the meeting. ëAll we're asking them to do is pray,í Walker said. ëWe don't know why they're so vehemently opposed to us praying.í Walker filed the lawsuit more than a year ago, saying the state was in contempt of a 1974 U.S. District Court consent decree that guaranteed Indian inmates religious rights.î] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

Superior Renewable Energy says it plans to erect at least 38 large wind turbines by 2006 on the Campo and Ewiiaapaayp reservations. Each three-blade turbine would be taller than a 20-story building and generate up to two megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 2,000 homes. Pending approval by state and federal authorities, the $80 million project would create the nation's largest wind farm on Indian land, said Superior CEO John Calaway. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2097> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Cabrillo Festival anchored in history; Explorer sailed into S.D.

Ronan, S.J., 1914-2004," by ROBERT BIRELEY, S.J. Charles E. Ronan, S.J., emeritus professor of history at Loyola University, Chicago, died on 8 April 2004, in Chicago, Illinois. He was born on Chicago's West Side on 4 June 1914, and, shortly thereafter, his family moved to west suburban St. Charles. Following graduation from the Fox Valley Catholic High School in Aurora, he entered the Jesuit Order at Milford, Ohio, in February 1932. Tuberculosis overtook him during his early years in the seminary; for many months, he lay in bed and eventually lost one lung. No one would have predicted the long life before him. After his ordination to the priesthood in 1945, he studied at the University of Havana in Cuba from 1946-1947 and then had the opportunity to travel widely in South America. Upon his return to Chicago, he completed a master's degree at Loyola University while teaching part-time at Loyola Academy.

"The Portuguese Community of Seventeenth-Century Parral, Nueva Vizcaya," by RICK HENDRICKS and GERALD MANDELL When Captain Juan Gomes de Paiva, a citizen of Lisbon and an internation= al slave trader, arrived in Mexico City in 1638, there were already several dozen Portuguese residing in Parral and its satellite communities of San Diego, Santa B=E1rbara, and San Bartolom=E9. While many of these men were merchants, a handful were silver miners, and others were tailors, mine guards, charcoal makers, ranchers, and priests. Men like Sim=F3n Mart=EDnez [Martins], Captain Domingo Gonz=E1lez [Gon=E7alves], and their compatriots were integral components of a distinctly Portuguese community in Parral that formed a part of an economic and social network that tied Parral to Mexico City, Portugal, and the Portuguese possessions. Portuguese merchants in Parral maintained business relationships with countrymen in other northern provinces. At the same time, members of this Portuguese community became well integrated into Spanish society, so much so that subsequent generations lost their separate Portuguese identity. Before that amalgamation took place, however, the Portuguese of Parral formed a remarkably interwoven community and attained a notable measure of success. "Juan Ignacio Molina's Elegy, "De peste variolarum," and the Chilean Smallpox Plague of 1761: A Personal Account," edited by CHARLES E. RONAN, S.J. The author of this Latin elegy on smallpox, "De peste variolarum an. 176= 1" (Concerning the smallpox disease in the year 1761), is Chilean Jesuit Juan Ignacio Molina (1740-1829), classicist and noted historian, who composed it at the age of twenty-one. The elegy itself, which until now has never been published in a complete translation into English, is a very unique, personal story of the young seminarian's struggle with smallpox, the deadly disease that was claiming thousands of lives at that time all over the world. Molina's bout with smallpox was benign, lasting for twenty-three days, from 1 May to 23 May 1761. The elegy, however, is truly remarkable in that it is the only account, so far as is known, by a smallpox victim who recorded, in verse or in prose, his own encounter and experience with the malady. Hence, Molina has been rightfully cited not only as the founder of Chilean pathography (writings on Chilean diseases) but also as the founder of Chilean autopathography (writings on Chilean diseases by the people with the disease themselves).

His veto message: I am returning Assembly Bill 858 without my signature: Existing statute already affords local school boards general control over all aspects of their interscholastic athletic policies, programs, and activities. Decisions regarding athletic team names, nicknames or mascots should be retained at the local level. At a time when we should all be working together to increase the academic achievement of all California's students, adding another non-academic state administrative requirement for schools to comply with takes more focus away from getting kids to learn at the highest levels. For these reasons, I am unable to support this legislation. Although we are disappointed in the governor's decision, we have no intention of abandoning our cause. Our position, supported by academic research, educators, civil rights organizations and tribes throughout the nation, is that all "Indian" mascots make academic achievement more difficult for Native American students. It is only a matter of time before officially-sanctioned racism is eliminated in California's public schools, and the academic achievement of all students is valued by our state and local governments. We hope this legislation can be used by local groups demanding respect and dignity in their public schools, despite the Governor's veto. The California Legislature no longer supports "redskins" images in public schools, and local school boards need to take heed that their use of racist imagery is no longer acceptable public policy in California. No other state Legislature has taken this unprecedented step before, and we respectfully thank the California Legislature for the passage of this legislation.

And yet loving our past adds great meaning to our lives. Our ancestry, our connections with the past, and our commitment to notions of cultural continuity are what it's all about, in my opinion--pretty heavy stuff to be considering over morning coffee. In the old days northwestern California Indian women tattooed their chins. There doesn't appear to be any single purpose or reason for the tattooing. Among the reasons I've heard are: "It was for the young girls when they became women" and "It was for their beauty." A more common answer was "When you get old, a man and woman look the same." This was true; a widow cropped her hair after her husband's passing, and historical photos reveal old men and women looking indistinguishable from one another except for their tattoos. Recently an elderly Yurok woman related another reason (paraphrased here by me), told to her by her grandmother, who had had the tattoos: "When you go to [Indian Heaven] your tattoos are emblematic of a good Indian life and you are ushered in." I recall another statement about the old days that also explains the purpose of tattoos: there was an unwritten law that women were not to be killed during our infrequent intertribal wars, a rule that made the distinguishing marks an advantage in the heat of battle. At one time, chin tattoos on Indian women were an everyday sight in the tribes of our region and throughout the state. Tattooing as a common practice ceased abruptly at the turn of the twentieth century, however. The last few tattooed women from this area passed in the 1960s. These women had been regarded as the "A-list" of traditional women for the Yurok, Hupa, Karuk, Tolowa, and Wiyot tribes. They were our queens, a term that signifies they were "living according to Indian laws" or were "people of unquestioned dignity." For us they were the increasingly tenuous link we had with our cultural past and the old ways. An important part of our identity was lost forever with their passing. That is, until 1990 when Bertha Peters (Yurok) and Beverly Nix (Yurok) traveled to Berkeley to tattoo their chins. Since then other women have tattooed their chins as well. The "Bommelyn boys," Pyuwa and Gylish, became the first males to get traditional tattoos called "banker's marks," a series of dots and lines on their hands and upper arms used to measure dentalium shell, our traditional currency. Locally, thirteen people (ten women and three men) now have traditional tattoos. (Since I started writing this article, nine more women have gotten the chin tattoos called "one-elevens," and several more have committed to tattooing later in the year.) Teresa Hendrix Wright's Story The impetus for this article came when Teresa Hendrix Wright (Yurok) called to tell me about her recent trip to New Zealand, where she had learned the traditional Maori form of tattooing. Over the phone she made it clear that in the future she hoped to enable Indian women to have another Indian woman tattoo them according to their own traditions. This statement suddenly turned a perfectly good human-interest story into something much, much bigger. My curiousity was piqued. We decided to meet about a month later, when her whole family would be making a trip north to attend the Humboldt State Powwow. Teresa is a youngish Yurok woman living at Pyramid Lake, in Nevada, with her husband, Mervin, and their three children: Amos, Lena, and Nikwich. Her Yurok families, Hendrix and Hodge, are from Chee-go-law, "where the foam stops," near present-day Pekwan and Wohtek (Johnson's) on the Klamath River. She is literally related to everyone from her area on the lower Klamath, a fairly common occurrence in the Indian world. Lyn Risling (Karuk/Yurok/Hupa), my life partner, asked Teresa to explain her interest in tattooing. As she was answering I recognized a scene that I'd witnessed several times during the last 25 years: a Native person undergoes a life-changing experience and as a result his or her traditional calling is revealed. Nowadays a great singer, language expert, or regalia maker is made by a life-changing experience that is sometimes subtle, sometimes overt. The person may ultimately accept the centrality of culture into his or her life or feel torn between the traditional way and continuing life in the modern world. Those who accept their new jobs begin by interning within the community until the community accepts and trusts them. These chosen ones are few and far between. Occasionally we will lose one to impatience or contrariness, but usually they stay with it and eventually (sometimes years later) become teachers themselves. Teresa's words clearly revealed that she was going to stay with it. She saw a future perpetuating culture rather than taking from it. For her, tattooing was a way to make the Indian world a better place, a means to help promote Native belief, practice, and knowledge. Most telling to me was her ever-present smile and laugh; her culture makes her happy. The Change Even before her trip to New Zealand, it was Teresa's trip to Hawaii with the all-woman intertribal drum group the Mankillers that set her new calling into motion. She intended to have the painted design on her grandfather's sinew-backed bow tattooed to her wrist and a feather designed by Shoshone artist Jack Malotte, her husband's cousin, tattooed on her shoulder. Before leaving for Hawaii Teresa also decided to get the "one-eleven" chin tattoos. From the very beginning this decision was an important one. She discussed the matter with her Yurok aunts and dad and several ceremonial leaders, friends she respected for their knowledge of traditional ways. What did they think? she asked. Was it appropriate for her to get one-elevens? Several of the Mankiller members planned to get tattoos (non-traditional "tats") on the trip as well. They decided to visit the shop of famous tattoo artist Gary Tadao, a Hawaiian-born Japanese man. He was more than happy to create the ornamental tats, but he refused to tattoo Teresa's chin, even after she made numerous trips to his shop to try to persuade him. There was a law at the time forbidding tattooing above the neck, a law that has apparently been rescinded. Teresa returned home without the one-elevens, feeling dejected but also determined. To her the law amounted to cultural bias and even prejudice. "No Indian woman should have to feel the way I felt," she said. (As we were to discover, Teresa believes the word "no" means to try again and again.) During the year after returning home she spoke with Tadao often on the telephone. He finally agreed to tattoo her one-elevens using his machine. She returned to Hawaii, this time travelling with her cousins Sherri and Nichole Provolt, and became the twelfth local woman to have the one-elevens. Upon her return, she proceeded on her path to become a tattoo artist herself. Teresa bought a tattoo machine and enlisted Tadao's help in learning to use it. Via telephone and e-mail he advised her on techniques for using the machine. Her husband's arms and legs became her canvas as she practiced with the gun. She created a wide array of pictorial tattoos, from local basketry designs to Bugs Bunny in full regalia! She progressed nicely--for a while. Then she realized that being self-taught could only get her so far; she needed help. That's when she learned of the Tattoo the Earth conference, an international gathering of the world's best tattooists. Teresa attended the gathering in search of "more in-depth [machine] techniques." She found that the big-league tattoo world was loud and aggressive, with most inhabitants hailing from the fringes of society; skinheads and paramilitary types were everywhere. Nevertheless she wandered down the aisles in a little bubble of idealism looking for a friendly place to light. "I didn't know these people were the best tattooists in the world," she said, later giggling at her naivete. She took another look at the list of artists in attendance and saw there was a tattooist from the Canary Islands and another from New Zealand. She located their booths and, behold, they welcomed her as a fellow indigenous person. The Canary Islander, Jordi Marques, invited her to watch as he tattooed his clients using the tattoo machine, suggesting that she ask him questions about technique as he worked. The tattooist from New Zealand was Inia Taylor. Besides being a world-class machine tat-tooist, Inia practiced the traditional Polynesian tat-too technique called tapping. Teresa was fascinated with the traditional technique; there was no machine! They discussed the possibility of an apprenticeship and before she left the conference Teresa had decided that absolutely and without a doubt she must travel to New Zealand to study with Inia. The traditional tapping technique resonated with her. Plus, it was indigenous (the all-important overriding fact). She traveled home happy to have learned new machine techniques and elated that she might be able to learn a traditional form of tattooing. A week later she met with Inia in Modesto to set a time when she might travel to New Zealand and also to introduce him to her husband and family. A date was set and she undertook a grassroots fundraising effort to collect the several thousand dollars needed for a round-trip ticket and room and board. It was a frenzied time of bake sales, raffles, and donations until January 2003, when she finally found herself in Auckland, a large port city in New Zealand. A month later Teresa, Lyn, and I sat around our kitchen table to look over photographs from her trip. Aotearoa (New Zealand's name in the language of the indigenous Maori) is a landscape of rolling hills and lush green pasturelands dotted with idyllic white cottages under blue, blue skies. The shore is amazingly similar to Humboldt County's own craggy shore, with its human-looking seastacks and open beaches. Teresa remarked that even the climate was similar (we were having a slight heat wave that weekend). We met the main characters of her story through her photographs: the Maori tattooist Inia, his wife, Alene, and an English tattooist named Dan Stone. Teresa stayed in New Zealand for two weeks and learned the basics of the Maori tattoo tradition. She met Inia's family, stayed at his house, and underwent a short apprenticeship in his shop, Moko Ink. It was a hectic place with people coming to tattoo, to be tattooed, or to talk tattoos. Inia helped Teresa make a set of tools from a special wood they gathered together. The wood was made into the tapper and anvil sticks, the basic tools for Polynesian tattooing. She also fashioned several flat blades from boars' teeth. The blades are made thin by grinding them against a stone until they are thinner than an X-Acto knife blade. Small, extremely sharp teeth are filed into one end of the blade. The finished blade is then lashed securely to the end of one of the sticks at a perpendicular angle. A second stick is used as the tapper to push the blade's teeth into the skin when tattooing. The thin blade is dipped into a specially prepared black ink. The blade must draw blood when tapped into the skin in order for the ink to be released properly. An assistant stretches the skin taut and keeps the area clean using witch hazel and a soft cloth as the tattooist taps in the design. Teresa stretched the skin for Inia and observed as he tapped his clients. After a period of learning to stretch the skin and tap, she tapped Dan, the English tattooist. Her first victim! Teresa left the island with a renewed appreciation of machine techniques (since much of Inia's work was done with a machine) but her induction into the traditional Maori form of tattooing cemented her resolve to pursue the traditional path. At one point in her story she lovingly opened a buckskin-wrapped set of tattoo tools. She went through each piece, describing to Lyn and me its use and how and where she went to collect the wood. She never showed us her tattoo machine, and we never asked to see it. Like hers, our interest was with the traditional way. We were fascinated. Teresa still uses the machine, but in her heart exploring the traditional methods is her focus. She continues working toward the goal of enabling tribal women to have their one-elevens done by a traditional method and by a Native woman. For our part, Lyn and I were inspired by Teresa's story and the traditional form of tattooing. We talked often about the implications of Teresa's trip and the technique she had learned. And then Lyn confided to me that she used to think about getting the one-elevens but that she had given up on the idea for various reasons. Teresa's visit had rekindled the thought. "What do you think about my getting the one-elevens," she asked, "by Teresa, the traditional way?" It was a moment that was too strange but too good, a moment that made perfect sense. Lyn met with Teresa soon after our little talk, at a statewide basketweavers gathering. She told Teresa that her story had been inspirational and that, as a result, she wanted to get the one-eleven tattoos. She asked Teresa if she might consider tattooing the one-elevens using the Maori technique she was learning. Teresa agreed enthusiastically. Lyn beamed as she told me that Teresa had said "Yes!" As fate would have it, a tattoo workshop was being scheduled by the United Indian Health Service (UIHS), the Native health clinic in Arcata. Due to the growing trend of jail-style tattooing, folks at the clinic felt it was important to educate community members about the associated dangers of contracting hepatitis and AIDS, as well as to demonstrate proper sterilizing techniques and encourage safe tattooing practices. The clinic invited Native Hawaiian traditional tattooist Keone Nunes to conduct the workshop. He was to share not only his expertise in safety measures, but also his knowledge and experience concerning traditional Hawaiian and Samoan tattooing techniques. Lyn's tattooing was planned to coincide with UIHS's upcoming workshop. They contacted Keone to ask if he would be willing to participate in the tattooing after his presentation at the clinic. It would be, after all, Teresa's (and Lyn's) first one-eleven tattoo. The chin is known to be a very sensitive area, a fact well known by Teresa since she had the one-elevens herself. Keone said he would be happy to attend. The level of excitement grew each day. Lyn told her kids, parents, sisters, and brother about her plan. Our relatives and close friends were all contacted. Final preparations were tended to as the time drew near. We were so busy that we did not attend the Brush Dance ceremony being held that weekend at the mouth of the Klamath River. Teresa, Lyn, Keone, me, Lyn's daughter Geneva, two of her friends, some of our closest friends--the Bommelyns, Tuttles, Tripps, and Allens, Bertha Peters (who had gotten the tattoos in 1991), Pyuwa and Gylish (the young men with the banker's marks tattoos), and Tony Sylvia, who had invited Keone Nunes to UIHS--all came to our house after the UIHS gathering. Tony arranged with Keone to add the "heads" (small triangular marks at the upper corner of the mouth) to Bertha's one-elevens. I was to have three horizontal bars tattooed on each cheek, a Karuk man's tattoo. Keone tattooed us first before Teresa tattooed Lyn's one-elevens. Under the watchful eye of Keone, the expert, Teresa began by tapping in lines to demarcate the three wide bars of the one-elevens. The job of filling in the lines was turned over to Keone, with Teresa doing the stretching of the skin. Blessings were asked of the Earth prior to the tattooing, and these continued while those present filled the room with beautiful ceremonial singing. As the tattoo slowly spread across Lyn's chin we all felt the exact moment when the transformation occurred. It was a startling and beautiful moment that brought tears to our eyes. The shared pain and joy reminded us all of a birth. The painful and bloody time had passed and now there was a new person in our midst. She resembled us but was possessed of her own unique beauty. A full-grown baby! Sounds funny, but that's how it was. "Yaamach" (it's pretty) was heard all around. Hugs and tears concluded the ceremony. When all of the friends and family left it was just the three of us: Lyn, Teresa, and me. Both Lyn and Teresa were exhausted in a blissful way. A first chapter in Teresa's story had come to a climactic and surprising ending. I listened as they considered Teresa's next step. Keone's encouragement for us to tattoo according to our own tradition using the quartz rock or obsidian confirmed our own decision to discover the long-unused process. We marveled at the turn of events. To coin an old Karuk phrase: ayu'aach ka'iruu, which means something like "indubitably." And Now, Considering One-elevens were the old way for northwestern California Indian women. The tattoos marked these women as people who had a deep connection to and understanding of our most important cultural knowledge. Our great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers descended from tattooed women living years and years ago. In an ideal world we, too, would be connected to these women directly, to their knowledge and beliefs. But history has altered this connection for us. When Bertha Peters and Beverly Nix tattooed their chins they brought a change to the Native community, a return to a revered tradition not practiced for several generations. In subsequent years other women also received the tattoos. Questioning and consternation accompanied the first few tattooings. And then the community took a position of benign acceptance of the practice. In traditional communities, change often brings controversy. Even a rather small change can easily threaten a community's equilibrium. Those responsible for the maintenance of ceremonies are forced to act, to make decisions, to seek the balance. We are essentially a conservative people and substantial periods of time are needed to wrap our collective cultural mind around instances of "traditions being returned." Imagine our surprise when news circulated recently that nine new women (Hupa and Yurok) had received one-elevens in Hoopa, all within one week. Faced with such a huge change, the Indian grapevine buzzed like a beehive: WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?, and most ominous of all, WHY? At the head of our concern is, I believe, fear. Not fear of life but fear of loss, fear of setting harmful precedents for the generations to come. We fear that our tradition has become, or will become, a fad free for the taking by every race, creed, and marketing demographic without regard for its spiritual origin. Our traditions, no matter how long they might have gone unused, were not left by us to languish but saved and revered for us to use in the future. We hold on to visions of our ideal worlds (there are many) where the universe is coherent and in balance. Finding ourselves faced with nine women getting one-elevens in one week caused anxiety and, for some, a sense of dread. As answers to the questions concerning the new tattooees slowly came back there was an audible sigh of relief from many quarters of the community. Hurray! We will not be going crazy! We will not find ourselves swept up in a tidal wave of fads and silliness. We know the nine women who were tattooed in Hoopa, and they are committed to our way, to who we, as Indian people, believe ourselves to be. They are committed to the ceremonial and spiritual health of our communities. This mass tattooing in Hoopa was just a case of new sticks being added to a basket that was started years ago. Our journey as Klamath, Salmon, Smith, Trinity, and Eel River Indians proceeds. As our story continues, each new chapter contains echoes of the drama and emotion that came before.

Teresa left the island with a renewed appreciation of machine techniques (since much of Inia's work was done with a machine) but her induction into the traditional Maori form of tattooing cemented her resolve to pursue the traditional path. At one point in her story she lovingly opened a buckskin-wrapped set of tattoo tools. She went through each piece, describing to Lyn and me its use and how and where she went to collect the wood. She never showed us her tattoo machine, and we never asked to see it. Like hers, our interest was with the traditional way. We were fascinated. Teresa still uses the machine, but in her heart exploring the traditional methods is her focus. She continues working toward the goal of enabling tribal women to have their one-elevens done by a traditional method and by a Native woman. For our part, Lyn and I were inspired by Teresa's story and the traditional form of tattooing. We talked often about the implications of Teresa's trip and the technique she had learned. And then Lyn confided to me that she used to think about getting the one-elevens but that she had given up on the idea for various reasons. Teresa's visit had rekindled the thought. "What do you think about my getting the one-elevens," she asked, "by Teresa, the traditional way?" It was a moment that was too strange but too good, a moment that made perfect sense. Lyn met with Teresa soon after our little talk, at a statewide basketweavers gathering. She told Teresa that her story had been inspirational and that, as a result, she wanted to get the one-eleven tattoos. She asked Teresa if she might consider tattooing the one-elevens using the Maori technique she was learning. Teresa agreed enthusiastically. Lyn beamed as she told me that Teresa had said "Yes!" As fate would have it, a tattoo workshop was being scheduled by the United Indian Health Service (UIHS), the Native health clinic in Arcata. Due to the growing trend of jail-style tattooing, folks at the clinic felt it was important to educate community members about the associated dangers of contracting hepatitis and AIDS, as well as to demonstrate proper sterilizing techniques and encourage safe tattooing practices. The clinic invited Native Hawaiian traditional tattooist Keone Nunes to conduct the workshop. He was to share not only his expertise in safety measures, but also his knowledge and experience concerning traditional Hawaiian and Samoan tattooing techniques. Lyn's tattooing was planned to coincide with UIHS's upcoming workshop. They contacted Keone to ask if he would be willing to participate in the tattooing after his presentation at the clinic. It would be, after all, Teresa's (and Lyn's) first one-eleven tattoo. The chin is known to be a very sensitive area, a fact well known by Teresa since she had the one-elevens herself. Keone said he would be happy to attend. The level of excitement grew each day. Lyn told her kids, parents, sisters, and brother about her plan. Our relatives and close friends were all contacted. Final preparations were tended to as the time drew near. We were so busy that we did not attend the Brush Dance ceremony being held that weekend at the mouth of the Klamath River. Teresa, Lyn, Keone, me, Lyn's daughter Geneva, two of her friends, some of our closest friends--the Bommelyns, Tuttles, Tripps, and Allens, Bertha Peters (who had gotten the tattoos in 1991), Pyuwa and Gylish (the young men with the banker's marks tattoos), and Tony Sylvia, who had invited Keone Nunes to UIHS--all came to our house after the UIHS gathering. Tony arranged with Keone to add the "heads" (small triangular marks at the upper corner of the mouth) to Bertha's one-elevens. I was to have three horizontal bars tattooed on each cheek, a Karuk man's tattoo. Keone tattooed us first before Teresa tattooed Lyn's one-elevens. Under the watchful eye of Keone, the expert, Teresa began by tapping in lines to demarcate the three wide bars of the one-elevens. The job of filling in the lines was turned over to Keone, with Teresa doing the stretching of the skin. Blessings were asked of the Earth prior to the tattooing, and these continued while those present filled the room with beautiful ceremonial singing. As the tattoo slowly spread across Lyn's chin we all felt the exact moment when the transformation occurred. It was a startling and beautiful moment that brought tears to our eyes. The shared pain and joy reminded us all of a birth. The painful and bloody time had passed and now there was a new person in our midst. She resembled us but was possessed of her own unique beauty. A full-grown baby! Sounds funny, but that's how it was. "Yaamach" (it's pretty) was heard all around. Hugs and tears concluded the ceremony. When all of the friends and family left it was just the three of us: Lyn, Teresa, and me. Both Lyn and Teresa were exhausted in a blissful way. A first chapter in Teresa's story had come to a climactic and surprising ending. I listened as they considered Teresa's next step. Keone's encouragement for us to tattoo according to our own tradition using the quartz rock or obsidian confirmed our own decision to discover the long-unused process. We marveled at the turn of events. To coin an old Karuk phrase: ayu'aach ka'iruu, which means something like "indubitably." And Now, Considering One-elevens were the old way for northwestern California Indian women. The tattoos marked these women as people who had a deep connection to and understanding of our most important cultural knowledge. Our great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers descended from tattooed women living years and years ago. In an ideal world we, too, would be connected to these women directly, to their knowledge and beliefs. But history has altered this connection for us. When Bertha Peters and Beverly Nix tattooed their chins they brought a change to the Native community, a return to a revered tradition not practiced for several generations. In subsequent years other women also received the tattoos. Questioning and consternation accompanied the first few tattooings. And then the community took a position of benign acceptance of the practice. In traditional communities, change often brings controversy. Even a rather small change can easily threaten a community's equilibrium. Those responsible for the maintenance of ceremonies are forced to act, to make decisions, to seek the balance. We are essentially a conservative people and substantial periods of time are needed to wrap our collective cultural mind around instances of "traditions being returned." Imagine our surprise when news circulated recently that nine new women (Hupa and Yurok) had received one-elevens in Hoopa, all within one week. Faced with such a huge change, the Indian grapevine buzzed like a beehive: WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?, and most ominous of all, WHY? At the head of our concern is, I believe, fear. Not fear of life but fear of loss, fear of setting harmful precedents for the generations to come. We fear that our tradition has become, or will become, a fad free for the taking by every race, creed, and marketing demographic without regard for its spiritual origin. Our traditions, no matter how long they might have gone unused, were not left by us to languish but saved and revered for us to use in the future. We hold on to visions of our ideal worlds (there are many) where the universe is coherent and in balance. Finding ourselves faced with nine women getting one-elevens in one week caused anxiety and, for some, a sense of dread. As answers to the questions concerning the new tattooees slowly came back there was an audible sigh of relief from many quarters of the community. Hurray! We will not be going crazy! We will not find ourselves swept up in a tidal wave of fads and silliness. We know the nine women who were tattooed in Hoopa, and they are committed to our way, to who we, as Indian people, believe ourselves to be. They are committed to the ceremonial and spiritual health of our communities. This mass tattooing in Hoopa was just a case of new sticks being added to a basket that was started years ago. Our journey as Klamath, Salmon, Smith, Trinity, and Eel River Indians proceeds. As our story continues, each new chapter contains echoes of the drama and emotion that came before.

PUBLISHERS SUE GOVERNMENT OVER LIMITS ON EDITING On 27 September 2004, several publishers' and authors' organizations sued the U.S. government over procedures currently in place relating to governmental regulation of articles produced by scholars in embargoed countries. The suit, filed by the Association of American Publishers' Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division, the Association of American University Presses, the PEN American Center, and Arcade Publishing focuses on recent actions of the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) which enforces U.S. trade embargoes. The plaintiffs assert that OFAC is unduly restricting works by authors who live and work in embargoed countries and that the agencys interpretation of law violates the First Amendment and other acts of Congress. (For the complaint and some twenty-five other relevant documents, tap into: http://www.aaupnet.org/ofac/.) The lawsuit asks for an immediate injunction against OFAC's enforcement of regulations that requires publishers to obtain a government license to edit articles and books by authors in embargoed countries. The suit also asks the court to strike down recent regulations issued by OFAC. OFAC maintains that the agency is doing its job by enforcing provisions in law that require that editing the papers and books of foreign authors materially improves these works and hence violates American trade embargoes. In 1988, Congress exempted certain types of information and informational materials from embargoes. However, OFAC claims the law only exempts informational materials that were "fully created" by authors from embargoed countries and that such works are not altered by editors in the United States. In December, 2002 OFAC issued a ruling to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. OFAC ruled that peer-reviewing and editing journal articles were subject to trade embargo restrictions. In September 2003, however, the agency modified that position when it found that certain types of copy editing and style editing "do not constitute substantive or artistic alteration or enhancement of the informational material" and therefore such materials do not require a government license. Publishers were left confused and somewhat dismayed by what they consider the infringements of their rights as publishers. The suit will be heard in a federal court in New York. 2. CONTROVERSY AT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL This last week, Washington Post columnist Al Kamen reported on an emerging controversy over the release of a new version of a video presentation at the Lincoln Memorial. According to Kamen, last year, the National Park Service (NPS), under pressure from conservative religious groups, announced that a video presentation shown to visitors at the memorial would be modified to create a more "politically balanced" version. The old eight-minute video presentation that had been screened since 1995, opens with Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream Speech" and President Abraham Lincoln's condemnation of slavery. However, the video also shows demonstrations at the memorial against the Vietnam War and others favoring abortion, gay, and women's rights. Conservative groups objected and thought the video presentation needed a better balance of Republican presidents and inclusion of footage of pro-Gulf-War demonstrations that also took place at the memorial. Kamen reports that the NPS has now spent almost $200,000 to make two new versions of this video. However, neither version has been released yet. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), an NPS watchdog group, claims that NPS is withholding the release of the new version until after the Presidential election in November to avoid controversy. According to Jeff Ruch, PEER executive director, the first version was finish months ago but it failed to meet the standards of higher up officials, so a second version was created; it also is being withheld from release. Ruch suspects that it most likely "slashes feminists, war protesters and gays from American history." The NPS, however, is claiming that this is not the case. NPS spokesperson Bill Line states there is "no basis in fact" to the allegation of electoral shenanigans. According to Lane, the final version is still not finished..."When it's ready, we'll let people know." 3. CLINTON PAPERS RELEASE MAY BE DELAYED In accordance with provisions of the Presidential Records Act (PRA), former president Bill Clinton will have to receive President Bush's approval to release his presidential records before his library can release them to the public. Clinton would like to make available some 100,000 documents concerning his administration's domestic policies when his presidential library opens this November. According to library officials, there may be a delay though officials declared, "we're going to make every effort to open as much as we can." Under provisions of the PRA, records of a president are closed a minimum of five years. (Under certain circumstances select types of records can remain closed for up to twelve years or even longer depending on whether they pertain to national security.) One PRA stipulation requires that the current president approve the release of any record before the five year minimum has elapsed. Clinton's Presidential Library is slated to open on 18 November 2004, only four years after his presidency ended. At this juncture, when the library opens, the only records that definitely will be available to researchers are the 500,000 pages collected by the health care task force headed by the then first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. These records include closed-door meetings relating to the task forces proposal for a universal health care system. According to Library officials some 20,000 searchable pages of Clinton's public utterances are already posted on the web. While Clinton hopes to see the records of his administration opened quickly, there are no plans to release documents relating to the Clinton's legal defense in the Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, and Paula Jones investigations. 4. BILLS PASSED: CIVIL WAR SESQUICENTENNIAL COMMISSION ACT; HUDSON-FULTON-CHAMPLAIN COMMISSION ACT Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission Act On 22 September 2004 the House of Representatives passed the Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission Act (H.R. 2449). The bill establishes a 25-member commission that will plan, develop, and carry out programs and activities that commemorate the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. The commission is charged to cooperate and assist states and national organizations to ensure a suitable national observance of the sesquicentennial. The bill authorizes an expenditure of up to $200,000 a year through 2016. There is also a special provision authorizing $3.5 million to the National Endowment for the Humanities for grants to universities, museums, and academic programs with a national scope "that sponsor multi-disciplinary projects, including those that concentrate on the role of African Americans in the Civil War." Hudson-Fulton-Champlain 400th Commemoration Commission Act On 22 September 2004, the House passed the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain 400th Commemoration Commission Act 2004 (H.R. 2528). This legislation seeks to establish a 31-member commission charged to ensure a suitable national observance of the 400th anniversary of the voyage of Henry Hudson, the 200th anniversary of the voyage of Robert Fulton, and the 400th anniversary of the voyage of Samuel de Champlain. To achieve this goal, the commission would coordinate activities with state commemoration commissions from New York, New Jersey, and Vermont and with appropriate Federal government agencies. To help ensure the success of this act, an appropriation of $500,000 for each of fiscal years 2005 through 2011 would be authorized. 5. THE HISTORY CHANNEL TO AWARD $250,000 IN GRANTS TO HISTORICAL ORGANIZATIONS On 24 September 2004, the History Channel announced the first year of its "Save Our History" national grant program. This year, some $250,000 in grants will be awarded to historical organizations that partner with educators on unique, rewarding projects that help students learn about and appreciate the history of their local communities. Beginning 29 September and running through 3 December 2004, historical societies, preservation organizations, museums, historic sites and other groups that partner with schools, may apply for grant funding. Awards will be announced during a ceremony to be held in Washington, D.C. in May 2005. For application guidelines and judging criteria tap intohttp//www.saveourhistory.com . History organizations that apply but do not receive a "Save Our History" grant will still be eligible for The Save Our History National Awards Competition. Organizations that do not wish to apply for a Save Our Historygrant are still encouraged to submit an entry for one of several other national awards. Submissions can be made until 8 April 2005. For additional information, tap into: http://www.saveourhistory.com/. 6. GAO TO REVIEW CLASSIFICATIONS OF SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS According to the Washington Times, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) will act on a congressional request to review the classification procedures used by the Department of Homeland Security. Representatives. David R. Obey (D-WI), ranking member of the Appropriations Committee and Martin O. Sabo (D-MN), ranking member of the homeland security subcommittee, initiated the request. These members of Congress are concerned that documents generated by the Department of Homeland Security are increasingly being labeled "For Official Use Only," "Sensitive Security Information," and "Sensitive but Unclassified." Allegedly, one homeland security agency is excessively classifying documents in order to limit public access. According to Rick Blum of the government watchdog group Openthegovernment.org, the GAO review is "long overdue." Blum also notes that last year the government declassified 43 million pages of documents at a fraction of the cost spent ($6.5 billion) to classify 14 million new documents. 7. BITS AND BYTES Item #1 -- State Department FRUS Volume: On 23 September 2004, The Department of State released the Foreign Relations of the United States, 1964-1968, Volume XXXI, South and Central America; Mexico.

San Diego Mayor Dick Murphy,s special representative Councilperson Donna Frye presented Jane Dumas, Kumeyaay with a well-earned proclamation. (A presentation ceremony at Tecolote Park was attended by special guests: Ron and Virginia Christman, and Vicky Gambala, San Diego Indian Education Director also Mara Peters and Jane,s daughter Dalene with her husband David.) Jane Dumas is a very special Native American. She is a lineal descendent of Chief, Manuel Hatam. For thousands upon thousands of years Kumeyaay people lived all over this San Diego coastal area: Tecolote Canyon, Florida Canyon, Indian Point, Balboa Park and Chollas Creek. If we were to ask ourselves, where are the Indians today? The answer is, right here in the City and greater San Diego area! That is correct! There are hundreds of tribal people still living near to their original Tribal locations. Many more have been scattered by modern events: historical, political or military. Too often sickness and the pressures of modern life have taken the greater toll on the local Kumeyaay populations. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2091> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) needs your support For the past 18 years, I have had the pleasure and honor of working with you helping to make higher education a reality for Chicano, African-American, Native-American, and low income students a reality.

Do these and other stories I've heard about this so-called myth have any credibility? It seems so. Some of the Nez Perce people made me think there may be truth to the tales of Sasquatch. It seemed no matter where I went during my trip to Idaho, the Corps of Discovery - Lewis and Clark - had left their mark on that part of the region. The Nez Perce, for example, are the Nimi'ipuu, which means "the real people," but they were given the name "Nez Perce" in 1805 by interpreters of Lewis and Clark. Apparently the interpretation means "Pierced Nose." (They say this was not a common practice among their people.) When I stayed with my adopted Nez Perce relatives, we spent a lot of time visiting. They are storytellers - tellers of real-life stories. This is one of their Sasquatch accounts. When Muriel and her father, Allen, were driving to work a few years ago, they came upon an unexpected sight. They were heading for a nearby town some 60 miles west of Kamiah, Idaho, where they live, she said. This is mountainous country. On a large mountainlike hill next to the road, Muriel, who was on the passenger side of the car, said she saw a large animal on the hillside. At first she thought it was a cow grazing, she said. It was bending over and suddenly stood up. It looked like a giant, hairy man. It turned its body toward them and looked human. When it saw them, it ran. With only a few strides, it was over this steep hill. They stopped and walked to the spot where they saw what they assume was Bigfoot or Sasquatch. They found the spot and it looked as though the creature had been digging roots. There are roots on the reservations that the Nez Perce harvest and use for eating, making mats and so on. They measured its footprints on the ground. The prints looked like those of human feet, except much, much bigger. Muriel covered the same ground over the hill, following the footprints it made in the ground. The beast made it in three or four strides. It took her at least 5 minutes to cover the same ground. There have been many reports of Bigfoot or Sasquatch in that area, but people often don't feel comfortable telling their story because the public doesn't believe them. A spiritual leader who also was hearing that story said it is true, there are indeed these manlike beasts. He also has seen, heard and smelled them. This was on the West Coast, he said. It was a place where the Sasquatch frequently are seen. He was taken to the place by people who wanted him to see them. They know where the Bigfoot is and keep that home a secret, he said. He and his friends waited for the chance to see them. I don't think that at that point, he was convinced Sasquatch was real. But while he was waiting, he heard noises in the trees, he said. And before he heard them, he could smell them. They smelled awful. And when they came into view, they were as people had reported: large, hairy beasts with long arms, but not gorillas, he said. The creatures made low guttural sounds as if they were talking, but the spiritual leader couldn't understand any of the words. He got a good look. When these manlike beasts had left, this man and his friends examined the area where they had been. They found footprints that were three times the size of a human's. The footprints were shaped like a human foot, he said. They also didn't report their sightings to anyone. They are best left alone he said. I believe there are many things beyond our understanding. I believe my grandmother was right when she told her grandchildren, "it is a fool who thinks they know everything and have seen everything." There are things that are strange to us because we aren't familiar with them, but that doesn't mean they're make-believe. Perhaps way up there in those dense mountain ranges, these man-like creatures have thrived. Or, perhaps not. Yellow Bird writes columns Tuesday and Saturday.

The technical study would include detailed engineering and cost analysis, further discussions with First Nations, as well as a more detailed analysis on overall project economics. ëThis project has potential benefits for both provinces, and that's why we are moving forward to the next phase, said Dwight Duncan, Ontario's Minister of Energy. Clean energy from Manitoba has the potential to provide Ontarians with 1,500 megawatts of clean, renewable and reliable hydroelectric power, enough to power 1 million homes in Ontario.í ëThe Clean Energy Transfer would enhance national energy security and grid reliability and would be an important nation-building project,í said Tim Sale, Manitoba's Minister of Energy, Science and Technology."] [2] "Stop Logging Our Island, Innu Demand: Kruger Inc.

["OHSWEKEN: Roy Romanow is calling a plan for more aboriginal doctors in Ontario a ground-breaking proposal to help solve the ëdisgracefulí health status of Canada's First Nations. The wide gap between the health of aboriginals and that of most Canadians is simply unconscionable in a country like ours,í said Romanow, the former Saskatchewan premier who headed the royal commission two years ago on reforming Canada's health system. Canada's First Nations have much higher rates of tuberculosis, diabetes, infant mortality, alcoholism, smoking and suicide. Romanow said they are far worse off than even Canada's poor who also suffer more health problems than other Canadians. Ontario only has 12 practicing aboriginal doctors, but needs at least 375. There are only 16 aboriginal medical students in Ontario (eight at McMaster University), but the need is for at least 44."] [4] "Senate Opens Hearings On Lobbyists For Tribes," Michael Janofsky; Kristen Lee contributed reporting for this article, The New York Times, September 30, 2004, 26. Copyright 2004 The New York Times Company The New York Times. ["WASHINGTON: A Senate committee on Wednesday began untangling the financial relationship between six Indian tribes and two Washington insiders who Congressional investigators say charged the tribes more than $66 million in less than four years for minimal work. The two -- Jack Abramoff, a Republican lobbyist, and Michael S. Scanlon, a public relations specialist and former aide to Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the House majority leader -- sold themselves to the tribes as influential Washington operatives whose experience and relationships would reap great rewards for Native Americans. But as details of their work became public through reports in The Washington Post and other newspapers, the government began asking questions. Now, the men are under investigation by the Justice Department, other federal agencies and Congress, all examining the possibility of criminal violations. In addition, Mr. Abramoff is being investigated by his former law firm, Greenberg Traurig, for possible billing improprieties. He was forced to resign from the firm six months ago as a result of his work with the tribes. The hearing on Wednesday before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee provided the first public discussion of Mr. Abramoff's and Mr. Scanlon's activities, drawing on a long trail of subpoenaed documents that suggest the two manipulated the tribes, even their elections, to win contracts worth tens of millions of dollars. Documents cited also showed that the men dropped the names of high-powered Congressional leaders like Mr. DeLay to help persuade the tribes to contribute large sums to Republican organizations like Americans for Tax Reform, as well as to obscure groups like the Capital Athletic Foundation, a Washington group that Mr. Abramoff controlled. ëThe accounts in the newspapers were not accurate,í Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Republican of Colorado, the committee chairman and the Senate's only Native American, said. ëThe truth is, it's much worse than that.í"] To see more of The New York Times, or to subscribe to the newspaper, go to http://www.nytimes.com [5] "Analysis: Coca War Looms In Bolivia," Martin Arostegui, United Press International, September 30, 2004. Copyright 2004 U.P.I. United Press International. ["LA PAZ, Bolivia: The death of a coca grower during violent clashes between farmers and national security services this week threatens to wreck a fragile peace that has prevailed in Bolivia since last July's referendum on nationalizing gas. In a move to defuse growing tensions, President Carlos Mesa ordered a four-day suspension in coca eradication late on Wednesday. Coca is a traditional crop in Bolivia, and chewing coca leaves is part of the indigenous culture. Also, farmers have relied on it as a crop, and it is an important source of income. However, when refined it goes on the international market as cocaine. Escalating confrontations in the coca growing region of Chapare during the past week have strained relations between the Movement To Socialism -- known by its Spanish initials, MAS -- which is supported by the coca growers syndicate, and Mesa, who is trying to comply with a U.S.- assisted drug eradication program. Mesa met with MAS leader Evo Morales on Wednesday to try to smooth over differences as coca bosses called for a ëwar against the government.í ëMesa has said that if there was one death he would resign, and we are holding him to it,í Morales told reporters during an impromptu press conference at his congressional offices in La Paz. He seemed nervous following reports about the death of Juan Choque, a father of five, and the wounding of nine other supporters by army gunfire on Tuesday. Morales had made personal efforts to mediate the conflict during previous days and blamed the renewed clashes on ëopen provocation by the government.í Government reticence to use lethal force against road blockades and other disruptive protests staged by leftist-led indigenous movements in past months is widely attributed to informal deal making between Morales and Mesa."] [6] "Scientists Protest Campbell's Bill To Protect Ancient Skeleton," Matthew Daly, The Associated Press State & Local Wire, September 30, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press All Rights Reserved. ["WASHINGTON: Scientists hoping to study the ancient skeleton known as Kennewick Man are protesting a bill by Colorado Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell that they say could block their efforts. A two-word amendment would change an Indian graves-protection law to allow federally recognized tribes to claim ancient remains even if they cannot prove a link to a current tribe. Scientists say the bill, if enacted, could have the effect of overturning a federal appeals court ruling that allowed them to study the 9,300-year-old bones. The skeleton was discovered in 1996 along the Columbia River near Kennewick, Wash., and has been the focus of a bitter eight-year fight. Four Northwest tribes claimed they were entitled to the bones under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, or NAGPRA. The tribes wanted to have the bones reburied without any scientific studies."] To see more information on the bill, S. 2843, go to http://thomas.loc.gov/ [7] "Calif.

Tribes praised the decision and said it was a victory in a battle to preserve cultural resources. The bill, which becomes effective March 1 and extends to both federally recognized and unrecognized tribes, also requires local governments to notify tribes about possible future development.

Indian gaming interests gave 65 percent to Democrats in the past two years, compared to 79 percent in the 2000 election cycle, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Wealthy tribes who mainly make their money in casino gaming used several events surrounding last week's opening of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian to build on the $4.86 million they already have poured into the 2004 campaigns.

Copyright 2004 Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News and Indian Country Today, All Rights Reserved. [ìNOGALES, Ariz.-- The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights heard reports of the abuse of indigenous peoples by U.S. Border Patrol agents, now under Homeland Security, and the climate of fear in America that has increased militarization, intimidation and racial profiling at the international border. ëPersonally my life is in danger for making this statement,í Ofelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham, told the U.S. Civil Rights Commission's Arizona State Advisory Committee during two days of hearings in Nogales. Because there is a swarm of tribal and federal agents around O'odham, Rivas said O'odham fear for their lives when coming forward with the truth. ëMany of the tribal members will not report abuse because of the fear of reprisal.í Describing a climate of oppression on Tohono O'odham lands in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, Rivas said O'odham are denied unrestricted free passage across the international border, which dissects O'odham lands. O'odham are halted while attending annual ceremonies in Mexico and the United States, during pilgrimages to sacred sites for offerings and when collecting ceremonial items. Forced to carry documents and subjected to frequent stops, searches and the threat of deportation, she said O'odham cannot freely collect medicinal plants or conduct personal business. Rivas said O'odham civil rights and religious rights are violated by U.S. Border Patrol agents on traditional routes crossing this border. She said military-issue spikes have been embedded in the road and have caused tire damage. She displayed three- inch metal spikes found in O'odham territory, just south of the border, in Sonora, Mexico, on July 18. ëThe Border Patrol, as well as the Mexican military, is well aware that the O'odham use these traditional routes. Yet, she said, O'odham find metal spikes in their road and are threatened with physical and verbal abuse as they cross in their ancestral homeland.î] [2] Judge Orders Interior To Keep Indians Informed Of Lawsuit,î John Heilprin, Associated Press, September 29, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìA federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Interior Department to keep American Indians informed about a giant class-action lawsuit anytime they try to sell or exchange their lands or other assets. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that all communications must advise Indians of their ëright to consult with class counsel before making any decisionsí that could affect their interests in the lawsuit, and provide enough time for that to happen. The ruling is meant to ensure that Indians are not making decisions about whether to sell their land or other assets without knowing about the lawsuit. The suit, filed in 1996 for more than 300,000 American Indians, accuses the department of mismanaging, misplacing or stealing billions of dollars from those royalties. Lamberth also found the department violated his order in December 2002 that it must not communicate with Indians in any way that interferes with their rights under the lawsuit. ëThe Department of the Interior has not yet been able to review this order and is unable to comment,í spokesman Dan DuBray said. Lamberth has previously ordered the department to account by 2007 for the royalties from oil, gas, timber and grazing on American Indian lands since 1887. Congress created the Indian trust fund that year to manage revenues from parcels designated to each tribal member, but the money was often uncollected, lost or stolen. Lamberth wrote, ëIt is clear trust beneficiaries ought not have to make the decision to sell trust assets without access to all the relevant information.í The department acknowledges there have been major problems with the trust, but that it has spent more than $600 million since 1996 fixing it based on instructions from Lamberth and Congress. Accounting problems persist, however, partly because records are scattered.î] [3] Schwarzenegger Vetoes Bill To Ban Term 'Redskins' From California Schools,î James May, Indian Country Today, September 29, 2004. Copyright 2004 Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News and Indian Country Today, All Rights Reserved. [ìSACRAMENTO, CA-- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that sought to ban the use of the name ëRedskiní from California schools on Sept. 21. ëExisting statute already affords local school boards general control over all aspects of their interscholastic athletic policies, programs and activities. Decisions regarding athletic team names, nicknames or mascots should be retained at the local level,í read part of the text in the governor's veto. Though only five schools statewide would be affected by the ban it would have been the first bill of its kind. Though other states such as New York and Minnesota have officially discouraged the use of American Indian mascots, no state has made it legally binding. The bill's journey through the legislature has been nothing short of an odyssey and has led to some strange moments on the legislative floor. First introduced by Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg, D-Los Angeles, in 2002, the bill originally tried to ban the use of any American Indian mascot name for schools. However, this proved problematic for tribal schools that used the name and did not garner much support from the California Indian community. On the second try, these and a few other problems were ironed out and the bill garnered more widespread support including the California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) who issued a statement of their support for the second version of the bill. Several emotional hearings were held in the various legislative committees including a memorable Senate Education Committee meeting in which several American Indian high school students wore bright blue T-shirts that proclaimed ëI am not a mascot.í A contentious debate was held on the Assembly floor in which Assemblyman Tim Leslie, R- Tahoe City, actually sang the fight song of his alma mater, Arcadia High School in Southern California, whose mascot is the Apache. Eventually Goldberg had to relent on the scope of her bill when it became apparent that it could not pass. Goldberg said that she asked several of the Indians in attendance that day which mascot name was most offensive and whittled it down to ëRedskins,í which did pass the Assembly. It later passed the Senate. With some exceptions, votes have largely been along party lines with Democrats in favor and Republicans against. The primary sources of legislative opposition came from those members, of both parties, who had a school with the ëRedskinsí mascot in their district. Goldberg staffer Curtis Notsineh, a White Mountain Apache, has worked on the bill over the past few years and said that he is disheartened. ëI'm shocked that [Gov. Schwarzenegger] touted himself as a moderate Republican during his campaign last year. A moderate Republican is supposed to be good on civil rights issues, but I guess we were wrong,í said Notsineh. Goldberg takes exception to the idea used by opponents and cited in the governor's veto of ëlocal control.í ëIf local control is what you count on every civil rights issue we'd still have slavery in America,í said Goldberg. Local control, contends Goldberg, makes it more difficult to enact change because, like slavery in the pre-civil rights south, local sentiment might trump a greater wrong. Goldberg vows she will introduce the bill for a third time when the new legislative session convenes in December. She said she will try to ëengage the governorí during the legislative process, something she claims did not happen this time. Schwarzenegger's office would not comment beyond his veto message.î] [4] Alaskan Tribes Coordinate Fight Against Bush Effort To Drill In Arctic Refuge,î Brenda Norrell, Indian Country Today, September 29, 2004. Copyright 2004 Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News and Indian Country Today, All Rights Reserved. [ìANCHORAGE, Alaska-- Alaska Natives gathered to counter anti-Indian legislation aimed at eroding tribal sovereignty and toward termination, as Gwich'in vowed to protect the Arctic Refuge from energy development in the pristine wilderness. ëWe are under attack as federally recognized tribes from members of the Alaska Congressional Delegation, in particular Senator Ted Stevens,í Gwich'in Chief Evon Peter told Indian Country Today. ëStevens is attaching riders to unrelated Congressional legislation that is slowly stripping Alaska tribes of federal funding and altering our government-to- government relationship. He is carrying out this attack on our tribes without any tribal consultation or negotiation.í Peter, from Arctic Village, is chief of the Neetsaii Gwich'in in northeastern Alaska and chairman of the Native Movement. He was among the Alaska tribal leaders who gathered in Anchorage in August to draft a position and develop strategy to counter attacks on tribal sovereignty. Peter said the Gwich'in struggle will continue whether George Bush or John Kerry is elected president this fall. ëGeorge W. Bush pursued, as did Bush Sr., opening of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in his term. Even though there was a Republican President and a Republican-controlled Congress, we succeeded in defeating the efforts of George Bush and the oil industry. Peter said this makes it clear that even among the Republican Party, there are those that understand it makes no sense to develop the Arctic Refuge. ëThe Arctic Refuge has become a symbol of hope for protecting the last pristine ecosystem in North America and respecting the human rights of an indigenous people,í Peter said. ëThe oil industry and George Bush pursue the agenda of development because it is a symbol and it would open the door to exploiting other protected lands and continued oppression of indigenous peoples. They are well aware that even with best estimates, development of this area would not make any significant difference in domestic oil prices or supply.í The same amount of oil, as potentially is in the Arctic Refuge, could be saved in a year by simple methods, such as properly inflating car tires or increasing gas mileage standards. He said it makes no sense to open the Arctic Refuge to oil exploration and development. ëIf Bush is elected to a second term we will have to continue using all our strength and passion to prevent him and the oil industry from accessing the Arctic Refuge. If John Kerry is elected president we can expand our approach to push for stronger protection on the Arctic Refuge than is already in place, such as designating it as a Wilderness Area. We can never let our guard down in this political struggle for our way of life.íî] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

Tribes praised the decision and said it was a victory in a battle to preserve cultural resources. The bill, which becomes effective March 1 and extends to both federally recognized and unrecognized tribes, also requires local governments to notify tribes about possible future development. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2087> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Scientists Protest Kennewick Man Bill Scientists hoping to study the ancient skeleton known as Kennewick Man are protesting a bill by Colorado Sen.

Digest for IndigenousNewsNetwork@topica.com, issue 374	-- Topica Digest -- Adopted Relatives (Yellow Bird) By andrekar@ncidc.org Travesty (musings) By andrekar@ncidc.org Show (arts) By andrekar@ncidc.org ------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 12:11:49 -0700 From: Andre Cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Adopted Relatives (Yellow Bird) --Apple-Mail-13-66309109 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed DORREEN YELLOW BIRD COLUMN: Journey to Nez Perce country proves exciting As I sat in front of my computer Thursday, blurry-eyed and tired, I wondered if my treks across the Plains were becoming too trying for my age. I had just traveled more than 2,700 miles from Grand Forks to Kamiah, Idaho, to visit adopted Nez Perce relatives on their reservation. As I journeyed west last week, I constantly was reminded by signs scattered across my route that 200 years ago, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark made a similar journey. This is the third time I've made that journey. My first time was with my aunt, Agnes Plenty Chief. She and my uncle were adopted by the Nez Perce and did ceremonies and healing. She was a spry woman, but the switchbacks and duration of the trip left her exhausted. She passed away a few years ago. The topography across North Dakota pretty much is those wonderful rolling Plains. That's what Montana is like, too, at first. Then, suddenly, black mountains with white caps jut out of the land. We began the climbing and descending - first the Absaroka range, then the Rocky Mountains and the Bitterroots. Big 18-wheelers either were barreling down from behind like they were going to go right over the top of us or chugging slowly up steep roads, breathing hard like horses pulling a heavy load. Once we reach Lolo Pass, we crossed into Idaho and the beginning of the real mountain roads. The switchbacks whipped the car back and forth until I felt dizzy. I wasn't driving. It is a beautiful drive if you can keep your eyes on the scenery and don't look at the steep drop off beside the road. At times, the car was thousands of feet above the clear, running Lochsa River. The mountainsides were covered with cedar trees. In some places, the mountains were bare from fire, yet you could see small green sprouts that were beginning a new age - beginning to grow into a new forest. The smell of the cedar and green was intoxicating. You couldn't fill your lungs full enough of that sweet air. The switchback driving lasted for almost two hours. It was so long that I forgot the beauty of the landscape and wished for a convenience store and the smell of car exhaust. The sun on the western side of the mountain was bright. The temperature stayed in the upper 90s during our visit to the Nez Perce reservation. The Nez Perce are fine people. They not only are friendly and hospitable but also a handsome nation. My adopted relatives live on the mountainside. As we sat in the shade of the trees at their house and talked before ceremony, they told us stories. I must admit they are right up on the top as good storytellers. Through their hand gestures, I could almost see the giant elk in one of their stories turn toward the hunters. Mountain lions or cougars have gotten a couple of their dogs in the last few months, they told me. "We tell our children," said Hodge, an adopted relative, "to stay indoors after dark. But sometimes, they don't listen." They told us they've seen bear in their back yard and elk on the mountainside. So that evening, when I walked from the car to the house, I kept an eye out for anything moving and remembered how naive I was four years ago when I was here and strolled into the mountains for roots. They are people of the earth, Hodge told me. Their prized food is salmon from the river running through their reservation. They have a storehouse full of roots and plants from their mountains and hillsides that are used for food or medicines. When the days were finished, we were treated to a traditional Nez Perce meal; and just as the sun was setting, we turned the car east and headed back up the mountain. It was dark by the time we reached Lolo Pass. Over the tops of the mountain we saw a bright light. It was so bright I thought it might be something in Missoula, Mont., a few miles away. But it was the full moon. At dusk the next day, we were out of the mountains and full into the Plains. One of the most awesome sights of our trip was seeing a full, blood-red moon sitting on the horizon of the treeless Plains. We were struck by the beauty of the moon that seemed to smile and welcome us back to the Plains. Even though the trip is long and arduous, I plan to visit my adopted relatives in Nez Perce country again one day. They are people who stay in my mind - people you want to visit again and again.

By Timothy Noah Posted Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2004, at 8:24 AM PT Last week's opening of the National Museum of the American Indian is shaping up to be the museum world's gaudiest belly flop since the disastrous 1964 debut of Huntington Hartford's anti-modernist Gallery of Modern Art. Edward Rothstein of the New York Times scorned its "self-celebratory romance." Paul Richard of the Washington Post lamented, "The museum doesn't nourish thought." Post city columnist Marc Fisher was blunter, calling the museum "an exercise in intellectual timidity and a sorry abrogation of the Smithsonian's obligation to explore America's history and culture." The mere fact that Washington, D.C., persists in calling its favorite sports team the Redskins is reason enough to put a National Museum of the American Indian on the Mall. The case becomes overwhelming when you note further that the monuments and museums of Washington, collectively, presume to tell a reasonably complete story about this country; that the Native Americans settled this continent long before anyone else; that they were subjected by later arrivals to mistreatment that we can plausibly label genocide; and that most Americans today have little or no familiarity with the various Native American cultures. I'm glad we finally have a National Museum of the American Indian. But why did it have to be this one? The new museum stubbornly refuses to impose any recognizable standard of scholarship, or even value, on the items in its galleries. Precious artifacts are mingled with present-day kitsch, with few if any clues provided about what makes them significant. The museum's curators regard the very notion of a Native American cultural heritage as anathema because it clashes with the museum's boosterish message that Native American culture is as vibrant today as it ever was. This isn't a museum; it's a public service announcement. Among the inaugural exhibitions is "The Jewelry of Ben Nighthorse." If the name sounds familiar, that's because the artist is a Republican senator from Colorado, where they call him Ben Nighthorse Campbell. In 1989, Campbell, who was then a House member (and a Democrat), sponsored the legislation that created the National Museum of the American Indian; he later helped provide necessary federal funds as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The exhibit itself is laughably amateurish. There is a 2004 portrait of Campbell in Cheyenne tribal dress and a glass case full of ribbons and trophies that Campbell has won for his jewelry. The rings, bracelets, tie-clasps, and other tchotchkes displayed reverently are indistinguishable from anything you might buy at a roadside stand in Boulder. What establishes Campbell's bona fides as an artist of national renown? An informational pillar explains that "Nighthorse was among 20 artists selected by Arizona Highways magazine for a contemporary jewelry issue." The exhibit has caused a minor ethical stink for Campbell back in Colorado, but it ought to cause a bigger one in Washington. It's a straightforward declaration that the National Museum of the American Indian will sell gallery space to the highest bidder. For this alone, the museum's Native American director, W. Richard West Jr., ought to be fired immediately. I don't pretend to know anything about Native American jewelry; you couldn't fill a thimble with my more general knowledge of Native American culture and history. But museums are supposed to impart knowledge. They're supposed to grab you by the lapel and say, Here is something you must see, and here is why it's important. The National Museum of the American Indian is so indifferent to this imperative that it doesn't even bother to label many of the objects on display. Here is a beautiful curved display case full of various forms of beadwork. What am I looking at? To find out, I have to wait my turn at one of the display case's four electronic touch screens. Clicking from one menu to the next, I learn that this bear-claw necklace was made in Iowa in 1860, while that breastplate and choker were made in Oklahoma in 1972. What are the marks of fine craftsmanship that led to their display? None of my business, apparently. Does each have a particular ceremonial role? Nothing on that, either. If an item described on one of the touch screen menus sounds intriguing, I can, in theory, look up at the display case and find it. But to locate one item, Where's Waldo?-style, inside this crowded panorama is too much like helping my 8-year-old find the socks she tossed onto the floor or the jacket she forgot to hang up. No thank you. Underneath the glass case are several rows of drawers, most of which are marked, "Temporarily locked." I open one that isn't and see, behind a glass case, a brightly illuminated head garment of some sort˜identifiable as such because there's a photograph beside it of a woman wearing one. But what is it? Maybe I can go back to the touch screen and find out. But now somebody else is using it. Oh, the hell with it. Granted, the task of the National Museum of the American Indian is not easy. The term "Native American" describes not one culture but a multitude of cultures that share the superficial connection of having evolved in the Western Hemisphere before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The disciplines necessary to understand these cultures include art, history, and anthropology. Most people visiting the museum can be expected to have little or no background knowledge of the topics explored therein. The challenge is a large one. But there are ways to overcome such challenges. On a family trip to England a few weeks ago, I happened to visit the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, whose principle task is to explain to hordes of scientifically illiterate tourists how Britons used timekeeping and celestial navigation to establish the international standard for measuring longitude during the 18th century. Talk about challenges! But the museum did a splendid job of walking you through each step of the problem and its solution, displaying the tools used along the way. That's what great museums do. (For an interactive tour of the Royal Observatory, click here.) The National Museum of the American Indian has no apparent desire to do anything like this. Thomas Sweeney, a museum spokesman, actually boasted to the Washington Post that nowhere in the museum will you learn the prevailing scientific theory that Native Americans migrated from Asia to North America by crossing a strip of land that later gave way to the Bering Strait. Instead, visitors learn a legend from Arizona's Tohono O'odham: When time began, two gods named Earth Medicine Man and I'itoi created the world pretty much the way it is now and plopped the Tohono O'odham into it. Folkore and religious belief are certainly legitimate topics for a museum to explore, but to present such beliefs in a vacuum constitutes Native American creationism. It's like visiting Salem's Witch Museum and being told that Bridget Bishop, hanged in June 1692, had it coming. The National Museum of the American Indian is backed into this corner by its mission of "survivance," a term (invented 10 years ago by an Anishinaabe scholar named Gerald Vizenor) that elevates the survival of ancient culture from the realm of fact to that of dogma. Survivance, as defined in the museum's exhibit, "Our Lives: Contemporary Lives and Identities," requires "doing what is necessary to keep our cultures alive." At the museum, that means willing into being an unchanging continuum between past and present that doesn't really exist. Yes, many beliefs and practices of these tribal cultures survive to this day. But it's absurd to suggest that, even with recent improvements in tribal economies˜many of them achieved without building casinos˜Native Americans live the same way in the 21st century as they did in the 16th. I'm not aware that any aboriginal culture in the world can plausibly make that claim at this late date. The continuum message is also condescending to the many Native Americans who revere their cultural inheritance but nonetheless live the way the rest of us do, surfing the Web, shopping at Wal-Mart, and so on. Modernity is no longer the "white man's ways." It's multicultural, and I can't imagine any Native American responding kindly if told he didn't belong. The museum didn't have to be like this. Its satellite branch in Lower Manhattan, which opened in 1994, labels its artifacts conscientiously. The permanent collection on which the new museum draws is apparently quite vast and impressive, and the building itself is a beauty. (Regrettably, its distinguished Native American architect, Douglas Cardinal, was fired before he completed the job, and today he says the Smithsonian treated him like "Tonto.") One wishes that the curators would treat the older work with the same ease and frankness they treat recent work, like its exhibit on Native Modernism, which takes the trouble to provide some context for sculptures by two bona fide artists, George Morrison and Alan Houser. I have to believe that those responsible for the museum's botched debut have felt the sting of public opprobrium and will make changes that encourage the public to take it more seriously. Experienced museum directors (West is not one; previously, he was a law partner in the Washington office of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson) seek legitimacy among scholars, and we can probably expect quiet changes in that direction over the next few years. Native Americans, too, will likely chafe over the museum's amateurishness˜if not now, then after the achievement of getting it built fades into memory. But why should we have to wait? The Smithsonian should have gotten it right the first time. Slate intern Louisa Herron Thomas provided research assistance for this article. Timothy Noah writes "Chatterbox" for Slate.

The Associated Press State & Local Wire. Copyright 2004 Associated= Press. All Rights Reserved. [=93Tigua tribal leaders are angry about the alleged duplicity of two= consultants accused of working behind the scenes to shut down the tribe's= casino and then taking $4.2 million from the Indians in an unsuccessful= attempt to reopen it. =91There's outrage,=92 Tigua Gov. Art Senclair told= the El Paso Times in its Tuesday edition. =91You can sense it among tribal= members who are asking, =93How could this happen?=94=92 Tom Diamond, an= attorney representing the Tiguas, told the Associated Press on Tuesday he= couldn't comment on the tribe's dealings with lobbyist Jack Abramoff and= political consultant Michael Scanlon because of an FBI investigation. The= U.S. Senate Indian Affairs Committee also is holding hearings on the= matter, which involves other tribes. Abbe Lowell, attorney for Jack= Abramoff, said leaks to the media tell only part of the story. =91The= complete facts would show that the work performed by Mr. Abramoff was= consistent with the interests of all of his clients,=92 Lowell said Tuesday= in a statement. Calls from the AP seeking comment from attorneys= representing Scanlon weren't immediately returned Tuesday. A call for= Scanlon also wasn't answered. Senclair said the Tiguas hired Abramoff and= Scanlon because of their previous track records and standing in the= nation's capital. Scanlon was press secretary for House Majority Leader= Tom DeLay, R-Texas, and Abramoff, a Republican lobbyist, had a longtime= friendship with the congressman. A spokesman for DeLay on Tuesday referred= to statements the congressman made earlier this year when the matter was= first reported in the media. DeLay said he wasn't aware of Abramoff's or= Scanlon's operation, and added that trading on his name to get clients or= money is wrong and anyone doing it should stop. According to a Sunday= Washington Post story based on e-mail communications, the two paid= conservative religious activist Ralph Reed and his company $4 million to= mount a campaign opposing several Indian casinos in the South. Abramoff and Scanlon at the time were representing tribes in Louisiana and= Mississippi that were attempting to block competing tribal casinos in= Texas, Louisiana and Alabama, the Post reported. Federal courts in= February 2002 sided with then-Texas Attorney General John Cornyn's argument= that the gambling operation violated the state's anti-gambling laws and= ordered the Speaking Rock Casino closed. As the casino was closed,= Abramoff and Scanlon approached the Tiguas, who were desperately trying to= find a way to reopen the business that had been generating about $60= million a year. Abramoff wrote a tribal representative that he would get= Republicans in Congress to fix the =91gross indignity perpetuated by Texas= state authorities.=92 He assured the representative that he had lined up a= =91couple of senators willing to ram this through,=92 according to the= Post. In March 2002, the Tiguas sent three checks to Scanlon's firm= totaling $4.2 million to help with their case in Congress. A check for half= that amount was sent a month later from another Scanlon company to a= company formed by Abramoff, the Post reported. It's not clear what the= money was used for and the efforts didn't get the casino reopened. = Abramoff, according to the Post, sent Reed an e-mail on Feb. 11, 2002, that= said: =91I wish those moronic Tiguas were smarter in their political= contributions. I'd love to get our mitts on that moolah!! Oh well, stupid= folks get wiped out.=92 A month after hiring Scanlon and Abramoff, the= Tiguas began sending hefty contributions to Republican candidates and GOP= national committees. At least $150,000 of the tribe's $176,000 in federal= contributions that year went to Republicans, according to an El Paso Times= review of Federal Election Commission records. According to the Post, a= grand jury is investigating at least $50 million the two collected in= lobbying and public relations fees from tribes that were operating gambling= casinos. And the FBI and a federal task force are investigating whether= tribal funds were misused and the nature of campaign contributions the two= directed the tribes to make to members of Congress.

Despite these interventions, indigenous women and feminist issues remain undertheorized within contemporary feminist critical theory. Although presumed to fall within normative definitions of women of colour and postcolonial feminism, indigenous feminism remains an important site of gender struggle that also engages the crucial issues of cultural identity, nationalism, and decolonization. At the same time, the growing legal recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples to cultural and political autonomy has made increasingly important questions of indigenous women and their work on behalf of civil rights and sovereignty. With such intersections in mind, we invite paper and round table proposals for an international, interdisciplinary conference focused on indigenous feminism and its defining goals and features. Papers will be no more than twenty minutes in length. Submissions for round table and panel presentations should include an abstract for each paper. Please send 250 word proposals by electronic submission to <mailto:csuzack@ualberta.ca <mailto:csuzack@ualberta.ca%3ecsuzack@ualberta.ca> >csuzack@ualberta.ca. Deadline for submissions is October 15, 2004.

At Futures for Children, the mission is to ensure that American Indian children receive a quality education and learn leadership skills. The overwhelmingly positive response to Futures programs from more than 2000 current students inspires the organization to research and implement new and innovative educational techniques, as well as reach out to increasing numbers of American Indian students and communities. Futures for Children is experiencing a higher rate of success in implementing programs and services today than ever before in the 35 year history. Unlike the dismal drop out rates for Arizona and New Mexico American Indian students at between 50-60%... 97% of Futures mentored students graduated or were promoted this year, a majority of students consider post secondary institutions, and Futures mentors vigorously advocate their involvement in the Friendship program increasing to nearly 1800 this past year. In a nutshell, the Futures for Children Friendship program provides American Indian K-12 students with vitally-needed one-to-one encouragement to stay in school and succeed academically. Students are matched with caring mentors outside the reservation. Through letters, phone calls, and e-mail, an individual or family mentor a student and encourage him/her to complete high school and pursue post-secondary educational opportunities. The often cross-cultural relationships that are forged between mentors and their students create opportunities to build true friendships, valuable communication skills and frequently last a lifetime. In a nutshell, Futures for Children is looking for good mentors, folks who are interested in providing educational encouragement to American Indian students and in developing a positive relationship. Mentors choose the grade level (K-12), gender and Tribal affiliation. Futures for Children works with more than 95 Navajo, Hopi and NM Pueblo tribal communities of Cochiti, Jemez, Santo Domingo, San Felipe, Tesuque, Santa Ana, Zia, and Zuni. This is your chance to strengthen educational access for American Indian students today.

Opponents, now led by the Pala Band of Mission Indians, have raised one argument after another for why the canyon was ill-suited for a dump. There were the garbage trucks on a two-lane highway; an invasion of birds and rodents; the damage to sacred Indian land; and the habitat for a wide range of animals. Now, the landfill's potential to pollute North County water supplies has become the rallying cry for Proposition B. If approved by voters countywide next month, it could be the death knell for the landfill, proposed for a canyon about three miles east of where Interstate 15 and state Route 76 intersect. <http://www.kumeyaay.com/news/news_detail.html?id=2084> Read the entire story >> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> <http://www.kumeyaay.com/images/footer1.gif> Elouise Cobell: Justice for Indian trust fund Elouise Cobell of the Blackfeet Nation of Montana is the lead plaintiff in the Indian Indian Money (IIM) trust fund lawsuit.

Thank you for inviting me here today. When I was asked to speak to you, I was told you are interested in hearing about the improvements we are making on the Mille Lacs Reservation, and about our investment of casino dollars back into our community through schools, health care facilities, and other services. And I do want to talk to you about these things, because they are tremendously important, and I am very proud of them. But before I do, I want to take a few minutes to talk to you about something else, something I'm not asked about very often. I want to talk to you about what it means to be Indian. About how my people experience the world. About the fundamental way in which our culture differs from yours. And about why you should care about all this. The differences between Indians and non-Indians have created a lot of controversy lately. Casinos, treaty rights, tribal sovereignty - these issues have stirred such anger and bitterness. I believe the accusations against us are made out of ignorance. The vast majority of non-Indians do not understand how my people view the world, what we value, what motivates us. They do not know these things for one simple reason: they've never heard us talk about them. For many years, the only stories that non-Indians heard about my people came from other non-Indians. As a result, the picture you got of us was fanciful, or distorted, or so shadowy, it hardly existed at all. It's time for Indian voices to tell Indian stories. Now, I'm sure at least a few of you are wondering, "Why do I need to hear these stories? Why should I care about what Indian people think, and feel, and believe?" I think the most eloquent answer I can give you comes from the namesake of this university, St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Thomas wrote that dialogue is the struggle to learn from each other. This struggle, he said, is like Jacob wrestling the angel - it leaves one wounded and blessed at the same time. Indian people know this struggle very well. The wounds we've suffered in our dialogue with non-Indians are well-documented; I don't need to give you a laundry list of complaints. We also know some of the blessings of this struggle. As American Indians, we live in two worlds - ours, and yours. In the 500 years since you first came to our lands, we have struggled to learn how to take the best of what your culture has to offer in arts, science, technology and more, and then weave them into the fabric of our traditional ways. But for non-Indians, the struggle is new. Now that our people have begun to achieve success, now that we are in business and in the headlines, you are starting to wrestle with understanding us. Your wounds from this struggle are fresh, and the pain might make it hard for you to see beyond them. But if you try, you'll begin to see the blessings as well - the blessings of what a deepened knowledge of Indian culture can bring to you. I'd like to share a few of those blessings with you today. Earlier I mentioned that there is a fundamental difference between the way Indians and non-Indians experience the world. This difference goes all the way back to the bible, and Genesis. In Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, God creates man in his own image. Then God says, "be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and conquer it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of the heaven, and all living animals on the earth." Masters. Conquer. Nothing, nothing could be further from the way Indian people view the world and our place in it. Here are the words of the great nineteenth century Chief Seattle: "You are a part of the earth, and the earth is a part of you. You did not weave the web of life, you are merely a strand in it. Whatever you do to the web, you do to yourself." In our tradition, there is no mastery. There is no conquering. Instead, there is kinship among all creation-humans, animals, birds, plants, even rocks. We are all part of the sacred hoop of the world, and we must all live in harmony with each other if that hoop is to remain unbroken. When you begin to see the world this way - through Indian eyes - you will begin to understand our view of land, and treaties, very differently. You will begin to understand that when we speak of Father Sun and Mother Earth, these are not new-age catchwords - they are very real terms of respect for very real beings. And when you understand this, then you will understand that our fight for treaty rights is not just about hunting deer or catching fish. It is about teaching our children to honor Mother Earth and Father Sun. It is about teaching them to respectfully receive the gifts these loving parents offer us in return for the care we give them. And it is about teaching this generation and the generations yet to come about their place in the web of life. Our culture and the fish, our values and the deer, the lessons we learn and the rice we harvest- everything is tied together. You can no more separate one from the other than you can divide a person's spirit from his body. When you understand how we view the world and our place in it, it's easier to appreciate why our casinos are so important to us. The reason we defend our businesses so fiercely isn't because we want to have something that others don't. The reason is because these businesses allow us to give back to others - to our People, our communities, and the Creator. I'd like to take a minute and mention just a few of the ways we've already given back: We've opened new schools, new health care facilities, and new community centers where our children get a better education, where our elders get better medical care, and where our families can gather to socialize and keep our traditions alive. We've built new ceremonial buildings, and new powwow and celebration grounds. We've renovated an elderly center, and plan to build three culturally sensitive assisted living facilities for our elders. We've created programs to teach and preserve our language and cultural traditions. We've created a Small Business Development Program to help band members start their own businesses. We've created more than twenty-eight hundred jobs for band members, people from other tribes, and non-Indians. We've spurred the development of more than one thousand jobs in other local businesses. We've generated more than fifty million dollars in federal taxes, and more than fifteen million dollars in state taxes through wages paid to employees. And we've given back more than two million dollars in charitable donations. The list goes on and on. But rather than flood you with more numbers, I'll tell you a story that sums up how my people view business through the lens of our traditional values. Last year, the Woodlands National Bank, which is owned and operated by the Mille Lacs Band, was approached by the city of Onamia and asked to forgive a mortgage on a building in the downtown area. The building had been abandoned and was an eyesore on Main Street. The city planned to renovate and sell the building, and return it to the tax rolls. Although the band would lose money by forgiving the mortgage, our business leaders could see the wisdom in improving the community. The opportunity to help our neighbors was an opportunity to strengthen the web of life. So we forgave the mortgage. Now, I know this is not a decision everyone would agree with. Some people feel that in business, you have to look out for number one. But my people feel that in business - and in life - you have to look out for every one. And this, I believe, is one of the blessings that Indian culture has to offer you and other non-Indians. We have a different perspective on so many things, from caring for the environment, to healing the body, mind and soul. But if our culture disappears, if the Indian ways are swallowed up by the dominant American culture, no one will be able to learn from them. Not Indian children. Not your children. No one. All that knowledge, all that wisdom, will be lost forever. The struggle of dialogue will be over. Yes, there will be no more wounds. But there will also be no more blessings. There is still so much we have to learn from each other, and we have already wasted so much time. Our world grows smaller every day. And every day, more of our unsettling, surprising, wonderful differences vanish. And when that happens, part of each of us vanishes, too. I'd like to end with one of my favorite stories. It's a funny little story about Indians and non-Indians, but its message is serious: you can see something differently if you are willing to learn from those around you. This is the story: Years ago, white settlers came to this area and built the first European-style homes. When Indian People walked by these homes and saw see-through things in the walls, they looked through them to see what the strangers inside were doing. The settlers were shocked, but it makes sense when you think about it: windows are made to be looked through from both sides. Since then, my people have spent many years looking at the world through your window. I hope today I've given you a reason to look at it through ours.

I had just traveled more than 2,700 miles from Grand Forks to Kamiah, Idaho, to visit adopted Nez Perce relatives on their reservation. As I journeyed west last week, I constantly was reminded by signs scattered across my route that 200 years ago, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark made a similar journey. This is the third time I've made that journey. My first time was with my aunt, Agnes Plenty Chief. She and my uncle were adopted by the Nez Perce and did ceremonies and healing. She was a spry woman, but the switchbacks and duration of the trip left her exhausted. She passed away a few years ago. The topography across North Dakota pretty much is those wonderful rolling Plains. That's what Montana is like, too, at first. Then, suddenly, black mountains with white caps jut out of the land. We began the climbing and descending - first the Absaroka range, then the Rocky Mountains and the Bitterroots. Big 18-wheelers either were barreling down from behind like they were going to go right over the top of us or chugging slowly up steep roads, breathing hard like horses pulling a heavy load. Once we reach Lolo Pass, we crossed into Idaho and the beginning of the real mountain roads. The switchbacks whipped the car back and forth until I felt dizzy. I wasn't driving. It is a beautiful drive if you can keep your eyes on the scenery and don't look at the steep drop off beside the road. At times, the car was thousands of feet above the clear, running Lochsa River. The mountainsides were covered with cedar trees. In some places, the mountains were bare from fire, yet you could see small green sprouts that were beginning a new age - beginning to grow into a new forest. The smell of the cedar and green was intoxicating. You couldn't fill your lungs full enough of that sweet air. The switchback driving lasted for almost two hours. It was so long that I forgot the beauty of the landscape and wished for a convenience store and the smell of car exhaust. The sun on the western side of the mountain was bright. The temperature stayed in the upper 90s during our visit to the Nez Perce reservation. The Nez Perce are fine people. They not only are friendly and hospitable but also a handsome nation. My adopted relatives live on the mountainside. As we sat in the shade of the trees at their house and talked before ceremony, they told us stories. I must admit they are right up on the top as good storytellers. Through their hand gestures, I could almost see the giant elk in one of their stories turn toward the hunters. Mountain lions or cougars have gotten a couple of their dogs in the last few months, they told me. "We tell our children," said Hodge, an adopted relative, "to stay indoors after dark. But sometimes, they don't listen." They told us they've seen bear in their back yard and elk on the mountainside. So that evening, when I walked from the car to the house, I kept an eye out for anything moving and remembered how naive I was four years ago when I was here and strolled into the mountains for roots. They are people of the earth, Hodge told me. Their prized food is salmon from the river running through their reservation. They have a storehouse full of roots and plants from their mountains and hillsides that are used for food or medicines. When the days were finished, we were treated to a traditional Nez Perce meal; and just as the sun was setting, we turned the car east and headed back up the mountain. It was dark by the time we reached Lolo Pass. Over the tops of the mountain we saw a bright light. It was so bright I thought it might be something in Missoula, Mont., a few miles away. But it was the full moon. At dusk the next day, we were out of the mountains and full into the Plains. One of the most awesome sights of our trip was seeing a full, blood-red moon sitting on the horizon of the treeless Plains. We were struck by the beauty of the moon that seemed to smile and welcome us back to the Plains. Even though the trip is long and arduous, I plan to visit my adopted relatives in Nez Perce country again one day. They are people who stay in my mind - people you want to visit again and again.

By N'Gai Croal Newsweek International Oct. 4 issue - A stitch in time saves nine. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. And videogames will rot your brain. Conventional wisdom? Maybe, but psychologist Dominic Greco is determined to prove that at least one of those sayings is not true. Greco, the 52-year-old founder of CyberLearning Technology, uses neurofeedback-enhanced versions of off-the-shelf videogames like Ratchet & Clank to help treat children and adolescents with attention-deficit disorder or cognitive-processing difficulties. If that sounds likefuturistic, space-age technology, you're not far off; CyberLearning Technology has built its system, dubbed S.M.A.R.T. Brain Games, around a neurofeedback patent it obtained exclusively from NASA. Here's how S.M.A.R.T. Brain Games work. A normal human brain, when awake and focused on an activity, produces a lot of fast brain waves. But people with cognitive-processing or learning disabilities produce large amounts of slower brain waves˜like the ones generated when we're sleeping or daydreaming. That makes staying focused extremely difficult. S.M.A.R.T. Brain Games use specially designed headgear, with built-in sensors, to monitor the player's brain waves. The child or adolescent operates a regular videogame console like the PlayStation 2, but with a controller that has been modified by CyberLearning Technology. If the player remains focused while speeding through the streets of Tokyo in a racing game like Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, he or she will be able to drive unimpeded. But the moment the youngster's attention wanders, the system steadily reduces the top speed available to the player, causes the controller to rumble and produces atonal sounds, letting the child know that he or she must refocus. Once the kid does, the sounds disappear, the rumble goes away and the child can once again achieve top speed. "We're exercising the brain to a higher level of processing and attention," says Greco, who's been using neurofeedback to work with children since 1990. Though neurofeedback hasn't been studied as extensively as drug therapy, it has fewer side effects, and many families swear by it. Dr. Ali Hashemi of the California-based Attention and Achievement Center cautions that while the principles of neurofeedback are well established, as yet there are no peer-reviewed studies of Greco's methods (though one is expected by the year-end). Adults can benefit from neurofeedback as well. The Wild Divine Project has released a CD-ROM for Mac and PC called Journey to the Wild Divine, which uses sensors attached to the fingers to monitor skin conductance and heart-rate variability via the computer's USB port. The story-based game teaches things ranging from yogic breathing to meditation through lush visuals that respond to your actions, like lighting a virtual fire by exhaling calmly and smoothly. "I was always frustrated by how boring biofeedback was," says Corwin Bell, Wild Divine's 40-year-old designer. "Raise a bar, make a face smile. It wasn't very entertaining. The challenge for me and my team was to bring in a visual metaphor." Mission accomplished. © 2004 Newsweek, Inc.

(issue) September 26, 2004 A Continuing Shame Native Americans came in great numbers to Washington last week, partly to celebrate, partly to correct a historic injustice. The occasion was the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian on the National Mall - a vivid reminder of the profound cultural and symbolic legacy of America's indigenous peoples. In the background, however, was a continuing lawsuit, whose purpose is to restore to the Indians assets and revenues that are rightfully theirs. Specifically, the suit seeks a proper accounting of a huge trust established more than a century ago when Congress broke up reservation lands into individual allotments. The trust was intended to manage the revenues owed to individual Indians from oil leases, timber leases and other activities. Yet a century of disarray and dishonesty by the federal government, particularly the Interior Department, whose job it is to administer the trust, has shortchanged generations of Indians and threatens to shortchange some half million more - the present beneficiaries of the trust. Many of the beneficiaries hold minutely fractionated interests in land that has been passed down from generation to generation. But no one really grasps the true dimensions of the trust because the value of those leases and royalties is unclear, and because there has never been a real accounting of the money paid into or out of it. What has become clear is that Indians were often paid far less for leases on their property than whites were for comparable property. Those who examine the trust - including members of Congress - come away stunned by how badly and how fraudulently it has been handled. Records have been lost and purposely destroyed. Even a conservative guess of the amount owed to Indians from the trust runs as high as the tens of billions of dollars. Ineffectual plans to reform the trust have been drawn up by the Interior Department. But instead of working to provide a historical accounting of the trust, as required, Interior officials point to concern in Congress that the cost of an accounting is likely to reach $3 billion, with no guarantee that it will actually find anything. In other words, the department wants to conclude in advance that very little is likely to be owed to anyone. The plaintiffs have won in court every step of the way. Interior officials have repeatedly been placed under sanctions for misconduct and malfeasance. So far Interior has worked as hard to discredit the judge in the case, Royce Lamberth, as it has to actually fix the problem. The department essentially argues that the judiciary has no business telling the executive branch how to do its business. But the department has had more than a century to get this right. These are not abstract issues. This is a case about real money owed to real people. The central question is simply: Who has profited from economic activity on the individual Indian trust lands? Certainly not the Indians who owned them. The only real reason to block a historical accounting of this trust - and real reform - is to block the real answer to that question. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 16:14:20 -0700 From: Andre Cramblit <andrekar@ncidc.org> Subject: Italians & Columbus (holidaze) --Apple-Mail-1--91940468 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed Not All Italians Love Columbus By Mickey Z., AlterNet October 12, 2003 America is a nation built upon myth (starting with its "discovery") but the greatest myth of all is that the land of the free is gonna last forever.

You start to recognize individual head of livestock and give them names. 2. You mourn road-kill dogs like they were close friends. 3. Your idea of a great place to go out to dinner on your first date is the snack bar at the gas station just downa road. 4. Every day seems like every other day. 5. You don't mind driving to McDonald's for breakfast, even though it's 60 miles away in the nearest village. 6. You can tell the difference between dogs barking at cattle, dogs barking at horses, and dogs barking at things that go bump in the night. 7. Your pick-up truck has a "Fry Bread Power" or "Got Fry Bread?" bumper sticker. 8. You think that BBQ sheep entrails make a great bed time snack. 9. You notice that everything for sale in the grocery store is stale dated and/or the rebate offers expired four years ago. 10. You come to accept that an appointment on "Monday at 3:00 PM" means "Some time this week. Or maybe next week." (See #4, above.) 11. You can discern the type of grazing land by the taste of the mutton. 12. You wait until it goes on sale to buy your monthly supply of Spam. 13. You know which roads are the most dangerous for running over horses and cows. (And when you know who Don Yellow is because he runs over more livestock than anyone else.) 14. You can find your way around even though there are no street or road signs or house numbers. 15. Everybody knows who you are. And what you're doing. And how much money you have in your pocket. And who you're dating. And what kind of beer is hidden in your closet. 16. You know NOT to go to the store on "payday" (when the social security and general assistance checks come out). 17. You stop pointing with your index finger and start pointing with your lips. 18. You know (and use) the Navajo "mating call." 19. You come to accept that traffic jams at rush hour are due to herds of livestock crossing the highway. You know that livestock have the right-of-way. 20. You avoid having emergencies or injuries because "Emergency Responses" by the police and ambulance services take at least two hours and could take longer on paydays. 21. You no longer consider it "quaint" or "unusual" when you see someone ride up to the trading post on a horse to collect their mail. 22. You know where all the potholes, washouts, quicksand pits, and washboards are in the roads. 23. You know where "Batman" the 230 pound billy-goat lives and avoid him. 24. You think that a Spam and fried potato burrito is a good choice for brunch. 25. You'll drive 38 miles to see the only mailbox on the side of the road in an area of 5,600 square miles. 26. You spot a single hogan who has posted a "Neighborhood Watch" sign and the nearest neighbor is ten miles away. 27. Your new name is "Sh'ew!" and you find out a lot of people have that name. (Roughly the Navajo equivalent of "hey, you.") 28. You go to a sweat lodge and know what that little piece of string is for. 29. You take your lunch break at the local flea market. 30. No work gets done because it's another Tribal holiday (not Columbus Day). 31. Your name appears in the "credit" book at the trading post. 32. You no longer consider yourself a "full blooded Indian" after donating at the blood bank. 33. You believe a Pow-wow was originated by the Navajo. 34. You no longer fear going to hell when you die because Kit Carson and George Custer are there and they won't let Indians or sympathizers in. 35. You hang eagle feathers from your rear-view mirror to ward off the evil resulting from a coyote crossing the road in front of you. 36. You say you're "going to town" and everybody knows you're driving to Gallup, NM, 95 miles away on a two lane road. 37. You want a Navajo Cadillac; a late model one-ton capacity king- cab pick-up truck of any kind with dual rear wheels, a fifth-wheel hitch, and three bales of hay in the back. 38. You do your own haircuts. 39. You hear Ben Begay in the a conversation, it is not about rubbing cream on your sore muscles. --Apple-Mail-4--89935900 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=US-ASCII <fontfamily><param>Times</param>You know you've been on the Navajo REZ too long when... 1.

Copyright 2004 CanWest Interactive, a division of CanWest Global Communications Corp., All Rights Reserved. [ìTwo dozen aboriginal elders walked gingerly Sunday over the asphalt, concrete and grass under which most of the founding mothers and fathers of Edmonton are buried. As they strolled briefly through early Edmonton's oldest graveyard, they pondered some challenging questions they have gathered this weekend to wrestle with and find consensus on. The city has shut down Rossdale Road at a cost of about $1 million and is creating a memorial graveyard beside the Epcor power plant, just south of downtown, near Telus Field. That leaves the elders with some crucial decisions to make about the memorial, said aboriginal activist, Phillip Coutu. First, they must determine how to re-bury the remains of approximately 10 people found at the site in the past that are currently stored in the coroner's office, and six more in the custody of University of Alberta researchers. They are also expected to reach an agreement about whether to re-bury at Rossdale another 10 people, from other city cemeteries. ëWe have been given differing opinions on that issue from different stake-holders,í said city project manager Dave Schneider. ëWe're hoping the elders can give us an answer.í The elders, who represent a variety of First Nations and Metis peoples, were given a tour of the proposed memorial location Sunday afternoon, plus the best available information about where the remains are. They will continue meeting at a west-end hotel until they reach a decision about which way to proceed. They are also trying to develop a protocol to deal with any future cases in which ancient burial grounds are discovered. ëNow that Rossdale Road is closed, the ancestors can really rest in peace,í said Coutu, who has worked on a settlement with the city for four years. The people whose remains lie under the road and power plant include Tte Feather, a famous Blackfoot chief and man of peace, and early European explorers, such as Jack Ward and Michael Boulard. There are also many Metis people, such as Louise Humperville, wife of John Rowland, the chief factor at Fort Edmonton. Historical records also show that Francoise Lucier and John Baptiste Bruneau, two of the hunters that supplied the garrison at Fort Edmonton, were also buried in Rossdale, he says. D'Arcy Green, an archeologist, who has worked on the project for nearly a year, is working with city officials to see the remains are disturbed as little as possible when the changes are made to Rossdale Road. Traffic will be rerouted around the burial site. The city hopes to officially open the memorial next June, but heavy rains this summer have delayed construction and may push the opening back a month or two.î] [2] ìAbenaki Expect State Legislation Granting Recognition,î Associated Press, September 27, 2004. Copyright 2004 Associated Press, All Rights Reserved. [ìA proposal is expected in the next session of the Legislature that would grant state recognition to the Abenaki tribe. Jeff Benay, chairman of the governor's commission on Native American Affairs, said he expected a bipartisan bill to be introduced and he suggested it might give Abenaki the state recognition they need as leverage to obtain federal recognition. Benay would not say who might sponsor or co-sponsor any recognition bill. ëIt will come to the forefront,í he said. ëIt's something that we'll see in the foreseeable future. There was a buzz created over the summer, and we'll see more after the elections in November.í During a September 2002 debate in St. Albans City, Gov. Jim Douglas said that he would consider state recognition for the Abenaki- but cautiously. When he met with the commission last spring, Douglas said he would not take a stance on recognition for the Abenaki, but assured tribal leaders they could continue their work in Vermont while they awaited a decision from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. ëI think we can move forward with the goals of the commission,í Douglas said at the time, ëbut I don't plan to get involved one way or the other.í The Abenaki first applied for federal recognition in 1980 but pulled their application in 1985 after learning the state had obtained the application from the BIA and was using it in court cases. The process began again after the BIA assured the Abenaki no information from their petition would be shared. The Abenaki reapplied in 1992 and should receive a decision within the next two years. The Abenaki have also charged the Vermont attorney general's office with trying to thwart the process by making claims that the tribe lacks continuity in its genealogy.î] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FYI: News Items of Interest is a daily resource compiled by the H-AMINDIAN staff.

Some local K-12 schools, some larger universities. Another is Cal State U. San Marcos, and I am fuzzy on the details about it anymore, also I think they have since changed the mascot, but there is some demand (including from NDN students/community) I believe to bring it back as a way of honoring the gift of the mascot that was originally made. This was with the Luisenos and/or some individual who was Luiseno. There might be more info about that on CSU San Marcos website...also I would suggest trying organizations such as ALLARM (Alliance Against Racial Mascots) who backed the anti-mascot legislation in CA that the Governator just terminated....they would definitely know of other such schools and there probably exists already a list of schools in that situation. I seem to recall reading about a public off-rez high school and a tribal high school (possibly in Colorado??) that had an agreement that the public off-rez school could use a tribal-specific and approved mascot in exchange for a cultural exchange/education program between the schools, consisting of assemblies, etc. Try a newspaper search maybe, as well as checking out some of the many works by academics and activists regarding the larger Am. Ind. mascot issue, I have seen multiple accounts of these "tribal-approved mascots" published.....they are out there. good luck kirsten meyer uc davis native american studies [2] Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 16:17:25 -0400 (EDT) From: <jtucker@starband.net> Subject: Re: Query: Mascot issue The problem with the Florida State University "permission" is that there is also the Great Western Band Seminole of Oklahoma, who do not have an "agreement".

At one point in 1834, Asher Bliss, a minister under the auspices of the ABCFM, has a discussion with an old woman and non church-member. She claimed that all ministers would go to hell, because they did not take care of the children and talked with sugar on their mouths. Has anyone ever come across this reference to sugar on the mouth in regards to other missionaries and perhaps can help me shed light on the meaning of this phrase? Thanks Mark A.
