Acolapissa men limited themselves pretty much to a breechcloth, women a short skirt, and children ran nude until puberty. With so little clothing with which to adorn themselves, the Acolapissa were fond of decorating their entire bodies with tattoos. In cold weather a buffalo robe or feathered cloak was added for warmth.

Extractions: Native American Indian Prophecies Talk Given by Lee Brown 1986 Continental Indigenous Council Tanana Valley,Fairbanks,Alaska. At the beginning of this cycle of time, long ago, the Great Spirit came down and He made an appearance and gathered the peoples of this earth together "they say on an island which is now beneath the water" and He said to the human beings, "I'm going to send you to four directions and over time I'm going to change you to four colours, but I'm going to give you some teachings and you will call these the Original Teachings and when you come back together with each other you will share these so that you can live and have peace on earth, and a great civilization will come about." And He said "During the cycle of time I'm going to give each of you two stone tablets. When I give you those stone tablets, don't cast them on the ground. If any of the brothers and sisters of the four directions and the four colours cast their tablets on the ground, not only, will human beings have a hard time, but almost the earth itself will die." And so he gave each of us a responsibility and we call that the Guardianship. To the Indian people, the red people, he gave the Guardianship of the earth. We were to learn during this cycle of time the teachings of the earth, the plants that grow from the earth, the foods that you can eat, and the herbs that are healing so that when we came back together with the other brothers and sisters we could share this knowledge with them. Something good was to happen on the earth.
Native American that Muslims from the west coast of Africa had settled down in the Carribean, The truth of Islam and the truth of the native American culture is one http://ireland.iol.ie/~afifi/BICNews/Harbinger/harbinger24.htm
Extractions: Native American Before I begin this article, I would like to extend my thanks to the creators of the Internet. It was there that I found my research on the topic that follows, and it is to the people who wrote the various articles and references that credit for this article should go to. I merely put two and two together for the benefit of those reading this now. The history surrounding the followers of our proud faith is one of two shades; the truth and the lie. The lies surrounding our history have been spread to every corner of the globe; that we were and are (?) barbarians, no better than animals. The truth is that although there were certain parts of history that do show that some of our followers were ruthless and brutal (such as the Ottoman Empire), this is not unlike every nation and country in the world. And we have a much more worthy things to focus on. Before the West declared themselves the great scientists of the earth, before their own Renaissance, Muslims already were making discoveries in science that took the West hundreds of years to even begin to imagine. What a shame that people in Europe were being persecuted by the Church for their suppositions that the earth was round; they should have come to the Islamic world- an Afghan Muslim had proved that in 793 C.E.! However, the studying of the universe brought forth more questions, and more curiosity. The Muslims in West Africa were so intrigued by what was on the other side of the Great Sea, that they began their expeditions into the great unknown. Early reports of these travels are sketchy, but we can be sure that they crossed the Atlantic by 889 C.E.

Paiute and the Plateau tribes of the Coeur dÂ’Alene, Nez Perce and Kootenai. Today, IdahoÂ’s Native American heritage, their tribes and their chiefs are reflected in county names like Nez Perce, Benewah Shoshone, Bannock and Kootenai counties and the communities of Shoshone, Pocatello, Blackfoot, Nezperce, White Bird, Kamiah, Lapwai, Weippe, Kooskia, Picabo and Tendoy. Spanish explorers made trips to the Northwest beginning in 1592. Spaniards introduced pigs, horses, domestic fowl, tomatoes, beans, corn and garlic to the Native Americans of the Northwest. Lewis and Clark were the first Euro-Americans to set foot on what is now known as Idaho. They encountered Spanish-speaking Native Americans as well as those who spoke their tribal language. They were followed by French-Canadian fur trappers; resulting in names of communities like Coeur dÂ’Alene (French for "heart of an awl") and Boise (Le Bois-French for "the trees").

Extractions: Multi-Culturalism in America a Speech by David Bustamante, Public Affairs Officer, a Milan, October 25, 2004 I thank my hosts, Professor Franco Meli and Professor Anna Re, for this wonderful opportunity to speak with young people, who not only represent the future of Italy, but also half the future of the relationship between Italy and the United States. I studied in Bologna when I was in my 20s, and the impact of that encounter with Italy and the Italians has affected me ever since. I met my wife, Karen in Bologna and was subsequently posted in our Rome Embassy, where our son, Rob, was born. I know that the image of a typical American is a person whose ancestors arrived in the U.S. in the 1600s from Europe. Certainly, the first colonists of the eastern seaboard came to the U.S. under those circumstances, and to this day, the descendants of our Plymouth Pilgrims, Pennsylvania Quakers, New York Knickerbockers and Virginia gentlemen is the one that dominates when we think about the United States. But increasingly, Americans come from other backgrounds. My name is often mistaken for an Italian surname, but in fact, my great grandfather emigrated from Santander, in the North of Spain, to Mexico in the 1840s. He was a wine merchant who, along with his wife, died soon after the second of their two children was born. My grandfather, in the unrest of the Mexican Revolution, uprooted the family and brought them to Los Angeles, California in 1915.

Extractions: CARLISLE INDIAN SCHOOL The Carlisle Indian School football team ( 1905 ) for enlarged photo of above click here One of the legendary teams of intercollegiate football were the Indians of Carlisle. The tales of their feats, tricks and prowess are endless. The Indians pride and fierce determination enabled little Carlisle, for fifteen years, to take the measure of almost every big university football team. Victories included wins over the then powers of the day Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania and Princeton. An Army officer by the name of Lieutenant Pratt concieved the idea of a school in the East for Indian boys and girls. Here the Indians would be taught to read and write, speak English and learn a trade. Aided by Carl Schurz, Secretary of the Interior, he pursuaded the Washington authorities to grant use of the Carlisle Barracks located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Previously these had been used to protect early settlers from Indian attack and, during the Revolutinary War, as a prison for captured Hessian soldiers. In 1879 Richard Henry Pratt founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. Beginning play in 1894 they managed only one win against Harrisburg high school. In 1899 Colonel Pratt hired Glenn S. "Pop" Warner away from Cornell University as coach. Warner soon realized the Indians were exactly the kind of players had hoped to coach. He proclaimed to his wife one evening "This is a new kind of team. They're light but they're fast and tricky. Once they get into an open field, they're like acrobats, they're so hard to knock off their feet."

An Empire evening ballgown, "Rhinestone Creativity", showcases Quen's expert couture tailoring with a sleek black top and reams of white tulle skirting, festooned with fabric designer's Jocelyn Hines' black and red appliques, punctuated at the waist with a smart red stain ribbon. To achieve the precise custom fit that her couture clients like Tyra Banks, Paris Hilton, and Gina Davis demand, Colleen Quen creates a moulage, or "second skin" of the client's body from 36 measurements. A native of the Bay Area, her inspiration for this year's San Francisco fashion show is world travel and a continuing fascination with flowers' natural forms and movements.
Extractions: General Jesup was unable to defeat the Seminoles, who subjected his troops to punishing hit-and-run attacks, before disappearing into the wilderness. He negotiated an agreement whereby the blacks and Indians would emigrate west voluntarily, keeping their property and their weapons. But when the US government sold the black Seminoles, who had come in freely under the agreement, as slaves in order to pay off the war debt, Jesup and his troops refused, turning away the slave buyers at gun point, and defying their superiors. The soldiers feared that the black Seminoles would escape back into the wilderness and renew the fighting or, if enslaved, foment insurrections on the plantations. About 1840, the Army escorted the black Seminoles and their Indian comrades from Florida over 1,000 miles west to then unsettled territory, which is today the state of Oklahoma.

Navajo Nation water front and 2000 miles of shoreline more than the entire west coast! The Navajo Nation proudly sponsors the World s Largest American Indian http://www.americanwest.com/pages/navajo2.htm
Extractions: The Navajo Nation. Since the Long Walk in the 1860's, the Navajo Nation decimated to a population of only 8,000. It has increased to a stronghold of more than 210,000. About 60 percent of Navajos are 24 years old or younger. In its infancy, the Navajo Nation governed itself by a complex language and clan system. The discovery of oil in the early 1920's clarified the need for a more systematic form of government. So, in 1923, the Navajos established a tribal government; thus providing an entity to deal with American oil companies wishing to lease Navajoland for exploration. Today, the Navajo Nation Council has grown into the largest and most sophisticated American Indian government in the U.S.

WOW Museum: Western Women's Suffrage The Awakening Women of the American west led the nation and the world into Let us explore how and why women of the west ventured out to achieve voting http://www.autry-museum.org/explore/exhibits/suffrage/
Extractions: Women of the American West led the nation and the world into the struggle for female voting rights, known as the "suffrage movement." This remarkable suffrage success story began in 1869, when Wyoming Territory approved full and equal suffrage for scarcely one thousand women. Contagious excitement for women's rights spread quickly across the Rocky Mountain landscape. "This Shall be the Land for Women!" cheered western journalist Caroline Nichols Churchill upon Colorado's stunning victory by popular vote in 1893. Indeed, the West soon came to symbolize political equality and opportunity as a result of women's enfranchisementawakening the nation in its steady eastward march toward political freedom for women and all citizens. Today in the year 2000, most of the world's women enjoy the right to vote, yet a handful of nations still deny this basic right of citizenship.
The Buffalo Harvest Woven into the fabric of native American life for millennia, the buffalo was Into the Wilderness Dream Exploration Narratives of the American west, http://www.american.edu/projects/mandala/TED/ice/buffalo.htm
Extractions: CASE BACKGROUND ENVIRONMENT ASPECT CONFLICT ASPECT ENVIRONMENT OVERLAP CONFLICT ASPECT ... , by Wayne Wildcat Millions of buffalo once roamed North America, grazing the plains and prairies and populating the mountains. Historical documents around the time of Columbus's arrival describe the animals' importance to the indigenous people. According to early explorers, "the plains were black and appeared as if in motion" with buffalo herds. Woven into the fabric of Native American life for millennia, the buffalo was revered and honored. Some scholars argue that extermination of the buffalo was an official policy of the US government in order to achieve extermination of the Native Americans, particularly those living in the Western Plains. We will examine this theory, as well as the history of the settlement of the "American West". A. THE WEST Virtually every part of the United States except the Eastern Seabord has been "the West" at some point in American history, linked in popular imagination with the last frontier of American settlement. But it is especially that vast stretch of plains, mountains, and the desert west of the Mississippi that has loomed so large in American folklore, a region of cowboys, Indians, covered wagons, outlaws, prospectors, and a whole society operating outside the law. As with the other sections of the United States, regional boundaries are somewhat imprecise. The West of the cowboy and cattle drive covered many non-Western states, including Kansas and Nebraska. Much of the West's fiercest Indian fighting took place in the Dakotas, both of which are now considered to be part of the Middle West.
