Traditional Food, Health and Nutrition	Anishinaabe	US - Northeast	18226
What we eat -- where it comes from, how it is raised, processed, cooked -- affects our health in many ways. Traditional native diets in those few places in the world where people still mostly eat what they raise, hunt, gather, fish -- have been found to promote health and long life, for reasons only gradually coming to be understood.
Native American Music		United States	18079
The album "American Holocaust" is dedicated to one of Jessup's most passionately held causes--the plight of the American Indian. Using the term 'Holocaust' in the album title generated some serious backlash to the singer's business aspirations, but it is a term used thoughtfully, respectfully, and accurately. The album highlights the plight of many Native Americans Georgie saw during her lengthy stay on a Lakota Reservation, where she sought spiritual guidance from Chief Frank Fools Crow.

Cherokee History in Georgia	Cherokee	US - Southeast	9346
Today, some argue, we are at the dawn of a new era, one that will change the core of our society. Instances of cultural change on a societal level are rare in the history of the world. Europeans begin such a change in the 1400's, fueled by the ink of Gutenburg's printing press. Yet no society makes a change comparable to the dramatic cultural shift that the Cherokee accomplish in North Georgia from 1794 to 1835.

Individuals who left the "Trail of Tears" did not maintain their tribal status in most cases

The Ripoff of Native American Spirituality			7993
This page is to discuss the borrowing of Native American spiritual rituals. This issue has become a grave and very sensitive issue to many of us. They say that imitation the sincerest form of flattery, but we don't view it this way. While I feel that learning about others views is a good thing, borrowing from our beliefs or otherwise bastardizing them is a very insulting and bad thing to do.

African - Native Genealogy Homepage			7612
Researching Black Indian Genealogy of the Five Civilized Tribes It is known that many Africans intermarried with Native Americans. Less widely known is the fact that many Native Americans also owned African slaves, and fathered children with African slave women. In addition there were smaller numbers Free People of Color who lived in many of the nations and who also lived and married persons from the same nations, and whose descendants claim ancestry from the Oklahoma Black Indian people. As a result, thousands of Americans have African and Indian ancestry.

Blackfoot Man's Shirt and Leggings	Blackfoot	US - West	7140
The Blackfoot owner of this striking garment must have been not only an outstanding warrior but also an ambitious man of great wealth -- wealth that he lavished on the pursuit of sacred blessings and social prestige. In Blackfoot society certain costumes associated with the spiritual patrons of warriors conferred these benefits. This costume is unique in combining the distinctive insignia of three patrons -- the sun, the weasel and the bear. - The Canadian Museum of Civilization.
Education of Little Tree and Forrest Carter: What Is Known? What Is Knowable?	Cherokee	US - Southeast	7111
by Amy Kallio Bollman "Today, we can say a great deal more about Carter and his book, The Education of Little Tree, than we could in the past. It is not autobiographical--at least not as we conventionally utilize the term. While the aesthetic value of the book is arguable, it contains messages which are thinly veiled pro-white supremacist and which are, perhaps unintentionally, anti-Native American." This essay by Amy Bollman is an important teaching resource.

Athapaskan women's costumes and ornaments	Athabascan	Canada - Western	6663
Treasures Gallery - In ancient times the Athapaskans (Dene), who lived in northwestern Canada and Alaska, observed strict rituals and taboos to ensure their safety and well-being. Some of those affecting women are illustrated here. The Athapaskans believed that menstrual blood offended animal spirits and that contamination would adversely affect hunting success. At the onset of menses, girls were secluded in huts for long periods, during which they wore fringed hoods like the one here. The hood was to prevent them looking on the faces of hunters; it was believed that, if they were to do so, the hunt would be unsuccessful and members of their lineage might become ill or be killed by vengeful spirits. They drank only from drinking tubes, which might have a grease bag attached; smearing grease on the mouth was intended to reduce the need for food. A necklace like the one at lower left and the collar to its right indicated that a girl was ready for marriage. The weighted ornament at upper left was attached at the back of the head to stimulate hair growth.

1492 exhibit- Incursions in North America		US - Southeast	5566
Incursions in North America The French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English arrived in North America in the 16th century, sporadically and in small numbers. Fishermen plied their trade off the Newfoundland coast from around 1500. Some Europeans hoped to find an alternative route to Asia (the Northwest Passage), wealthy civilizations, or precious metals, but few found what they sought. They did not however, confront an untamed wilderness but rather people who often lived in villages and towns. [(16th century) Library of Congress]

Lately, while down in the land of the Seminole, I ran across what is, to me, an entirely new style of moccasin; a very simple style and probably the most primitive form of moccasin used by the American Indian. It is still in use by a few of the Seminole Indians in the swamp and lakelands of Florida. This form of foot covering, one of which I now have in hand, can be of little protection against thorns or snake bites.

They have existed as a sovereign nation long before the arrival of Columbus and the European settlers (approximately 1300 years). The Mohawks taught the European settlers how to survive the northern climate, how to live off the land and new ways of governing themselves democratically.
Lenap� Food	Lenape		5015
The Native American domesticated more plants than any other race of man. Among these were corn, potatoes, coffee, beans, squash (pumpkins), strawberries, peas, tomatoes, cranberries, grapes, plums and apples. Without these domesticated plants, the permanent settling of the continent would have been much more difficult. Eventually these crops impacted cultures all over the world. The potato alone kept generations of Europeans from starvation. According to reports of the time, Lenap� women were unsurpassed as cooks. They cooked two meal a day, but generally kept something on the fire throughout the day. Their diet was rich and varied. Corn was by far the main staple, but was fixed in a variety of ways. In addition to their crops there were wild nuts and berries. They tapped the maple trees and boiled the sap for sugar and syrup.

Of all the incidents in recent American Indian history, the Ghost Dance of 1890 is probably without equal in evocative power. From the ecstatic dancing, the mysteriously patterned clothing, to the bloody snows of Wounded Knee, the Ghost Dance is pervaded with visually powerful images. But because they are so powerful, those images must be constantly examined; one must see as well as look.

Chickasaw Nation Lineage Information Request Form	Chickasaw		4509
You will need to know the name, roll number and tribal affiliation of your nearest enrolled blood ancestor in order to apply for your Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB). Indians that moved to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) were enrolled on the Dawes Commission Rolls of 1898- 1906. If your ancestors did not come to Indian Territory, or were not living here during that time period, they were probably not enrolled with any tribe. In order for you to be issued a CDIB, you must know this person's name and tribal affiliation. You may submit four names to be researched to determine their tribal affiliation, to see if they were enrolled and/or to receive copies of the census cards on which their names appeared.

A list of all Navajo Clans, spelled in Navajo, with its English meaning. When a Navajo baby is born, he or she belongs to the clan of the mother. The clan name passes on through her to her children. When a young man marries, it must be to someone completely outside of his clan. Even though people in his clan are not all blood-related, it is considered inappropriate to marry within one's own clan. This rule is strictly observed. Should it occur, it would be considered as "incest" to the Navajo people.
