Coastal West Coast :: Along The California Coast The revivalists tents and camps later grew into the west coast Originally hometo native americans, the land here was later part of Mission San Juan http://www.roadtripusa.com/coastal_west_coast/california_coast.html
Extractions: The northernmost of the great redwood groves, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park covers nearly 10,000 acres of virgin forest along the banks of the Smith River. Stretching east of US-101, and most easily accessible from US-199, the park offers over 30 miles of usually uncrowded hiking trails through the pristine wilderness, and is considered by many to be the most perfect of all the redwood forests. One of the most enjoyable trails leads through Stout Grove The county seat and largest city in Del Norte County, Crescent City (pop. 4,006) is best treated as a base from which to explore the surrounding wilderness. The foggy weather that helps the redwoods thrive makes the city fairly depressing and gray, and what character it developed since its founding in 1853 has been further eroded by storms; a giant tidal wave, caused by the 1964 earthquake off Alaska, destroyed nearly the entire city.

Extractions: Native Americans: Tribes of the USA Native American peoples have always played a significant role in US history. Unfortunately, direct factual knowledge has been lost or misrepresented in many cases which has translated into only a vague inclusion of real Native American history into children's lessons. Below is a list of Tribal Nations that live and/or lived in what is today the contiguous US as well as some from the North and Pacific Northeast of the North American continent. I do not profess to be an expert on Native American culture and tradition, but I do think it important to include factual information when including them in our lesson plans. Use this list to help you do further research on the Tribal Nations of your area. Please Note: if you have a correction and/or addition to this list, please forward it to EFSNewsletter-owner@yahoogroups.com along with the recorded source of the addition/correction for verification. Some of the tribal names below are the most common English translations of the Native American dialect used by that tribe for themselves. You'll also see duplications if the Tribal lands extended over more than one state/area. This list is quite long with additional links at the bottom for further study and research.

Extractions: The policy was to "kill the Indian and keep the man." The aim of a boarding school system established by U.S.officials in the 19th century was to assimilate Native American children into the dominant White society, speakers told a panel discussion at the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on May 12. That meant forbidding their languages, clothing, hair stylestheir culture, in factusing as much violence as was needed, they said.

More By Blake Gopnik Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, July 24, 2005; Page N01 The Venice Biennale is the world's oldest and most important survey of contemporary art. When artists have been chosen for the Biennale, you know they've truly arrived. This year, two native North Americans had prominent spots in the exhibition. Does this mean that native art in general has reached a new level of art-world recognition? Or is it a fluke, or even the kind of tokenism that could disappear again? James Luna, a Luiseno Indian from Southern California and a leading native artist, was featured in a Biennale project organized by the Smithsonian's new National Museum of the American Indian. Rebecca Belmore, a member of Ontario's Anishinabekwe native group, was chosen to represent Canada in its national pavilion. The two artists answered questions about their Venice experience, and the current state of native art, in a recent conference call. Highlights from that conversation are printed below.
US Lacrosse -- History of native American Lacrosse. By Thomas Vennum Jr. their late datebrings into question any widespread diffusion of the sport on the west coast. http://www.lacrosse.org/museum/history.phtml
Extractions: Lacrosse was one of many varieties of indigenous stickball games being played by American Indians at the time of European contact. Almost exclusively a male team sport, it is distinguished from the others, such as field hockey or shinny, by the use of a netted racquet with which to pick the ball off the ground, throw, catch and convey it into or past a goal to score a point. The cardinal rule in all varieties of lacrosse was that the ball, with few exceptions, must not be touched with the hands. Early data on lacrosse, from missionaries such as French Jesuits in Huron country in the 1630s and English explorers, such as Jonathan Carver in the mid-eighteenth century Great Lakes area, are scant and often conflicting. They inform us mostly about team size, equipment used, the duration of games and length of playing fields but tell us almost nothing about stickhandling, game strategy, or the rules of play. The oldest surviving sticks date only from the first quarter of the nineteenth century, and the first detailed reports on Indian lacrosse are even later. George Beers provided good information on Mohawk playing techniques in his Lacrosse (1869), while James Mooney in the
Native American Displacement Amid U.S. Expansion Many of the people who went into the west became native American pioneers. The usMexican War was one of a series of American expansions that took place http://www.pbs.org/kera/usmexicanwar/dialogues/prelude/manifest/d2deng.html
Extractions: University of Texas at Dallas There is an interesting symbolic portrayal of Manifest Destiny that shows "Columbia," the great American angel or woman, floating over the plains. Ahead of her, in the West, is a great darkness populated by wild animals. There are bears and wolves and Indian people, who are fleeing her light. In her wake come farms, villages and homesteads and in the back are cities and railroads. As the figure progresses across the land, the light of civilization dispels the darkness of ignorance and barbarity. In this painting, Native American people are portrayed along with the animals and the darkness. They have to be removed before Columbia can bring the prosperity promised to the United States. It's an interesting portrayal and, I think, very symbolic of the thinking of many Americans during the mid-19th century. Another interesting symbol of Manifest Destiny shows a railroad train coming out of the east with smoke billowing out of its boiler. It's moving west, bringing technological enlightenment into the wilderness. Americans in the 19th century and ever since, have equated civilization with technological development, no matter what the cost, particularly in terms of spirit or morality.

Native American Jewelry Information about traditional and contemporary native American jewelry, the east coast in Great Lakes beadwork or abalone shells from the west coast in http://www.native-languages.org/jewelry.htm
Extractions: Native American Art > Native American Jewelry Native American Languages Native American Tribes What's new on our site today! American Indian Jewelry Jewelry styles were different in every American Indian tribe, but the differences were less marked than with other arts and crafts, because jewelry and the materials used for making it (beads, shells, copper and silver, ivory, amber, turquoise and other stones) were major trade items long before European arrival in America. After colonization, Native American jewelry-making traditions remained strong, incorporating, rather than being replaced by, new materials and techniques such as glass beads and more advanced metalworking techniques. There are two very general categories of Native American jewelry metalwork, and beadwork. Before Europeans came native metalwork was fairly simple, consisting primarily of hammering and etching copper into pendants or earrings and fashioning copper and silver into beads. After Navajo, Hopi and Pueblo artists learned silversmithing from the Spanish in the 1800's, metal jewelry arts blossomed in the Southwest, and distinctive native jewelry like the squash blossom necklace , Hopi silver overlay bracelets, and Navajo turquoise inlay rings developed from the fusion of the new techniques with traditional designs. Native beadwork, on the other hand, was already extremely advanced in pre-Columbian times, including the fine grinding of turquoise, coral, and shell beads into smooth heishi necklaces, the delicate carving of individual wood and bone beads, the soaking and piecing of porcupine quills, and the intricate stitching of thousands of beads together. Porcupine quillwork has nearly died out (though some young artists are taking a renewed interest in it) but all of these other forms of beadwork are still going strong, though imported Czech seed beads have been the favored medium among many Indian artists for centuries now. You can see our

Native American Beadwork leather (usually clothing, moccasins, or containers) and beaded strands (usually used for jewelry, but sometimes also as ornamental covering to wrap around a gourd or other ceremonial or art object) For beaded leather arts, Indian craftspeople sew each bead onto a leather backing (or cloth, today). A related craft, quillwork , involved softening and dying stiff porcupine quills and affixing them to leather, to birchbark, or to other crafts. Indian quillwork largely died out as an art form when seed beads became available to the northern and Plains tribes, but today some native artists are taking a renewed interest in quilling. As for beaded strands, Indian craftspeople stitch the beads together into strings or a mesh, using sinew, thread or wire. Beading strands and beading onto leather are both very complicated, time-consuming and delicate tasks which require many years of practice to do well. If you are looking to buy beaded art that was actually made by Native Americanseither because it's important to you to have the real thing or because you want to support native people with your purchasethen here is our list of American Indian beaders whose artwork is available online.
