Subscribe Shop Advertise Commerce ... big issues : Without Reservations: Native American Lesbians Struggle to Find Their Way Without Reservations: Native American Lesbians Struggle to Find Their Way Written by: Diane Anderson-Minshall Beverly Little Thunder has been issued a death sentence. Not by the government; by one of her own. Leonard Crow Dog, a Native American* activist, has sworn to kill the 55-year-old Lakota nurse for performing the Sun Dance, one of the most important — and grueling — ceremonies for Plains Indian tribes. Participants dance for four days, eight hours a day, without food or water, as a ritual of sacrifice, renewal and strengthening. The U.S. government outlawed the dance in 1904 as a way to squelch Indian gatherings, but Little Thunder has danced the Sun Dance since she was 19 years old. Years ago, at South Dakota’s Standing Rock Reservation, she got a rude awakening: “I was told that women like me were taken out and shot. I was not permitted to participate in the ceremonies.” Elderly women pulled Little Thunder aside and suggested she create a ceremony for her “own kind,” saying that if the Lakota people remembered their traditions they’d be honored to have her dance.

Marie Chippewa from Michigan, knows three distinct historical accounts of an 1820 treaty that affected the fishing grounds of his ancestors. But Khalil, a well-spoken teen in a Bob Marley T-shirt, is fuzzy on the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized student loans. Sally Champagne, senior admissions and financial aid officer for Harvard College, explains that subsidized Stafford and Perkins loans don't accrue interest while Khalil is in college. Unsubsidized loans, she tells him, "are OK but not the best loans."

Visionary Cactus Guide THE NATIVE AMERICAN CHURCH Peyote is considered to be divine by the Indians, a messenger that allows the faithful to communicate with God without the need of a priest. History from 1870's to present. Peyote use was more or less unknown North of the Rio Grande until around the Civil War. During the war, some white soldiers, and even some federal marshals had a chance to try this new "green whiskey". By the wars end, and into the 1870's, increased contact between American and Mexican Indians helped to spread the Peyote cult Northward. It was during this time period that the last of the free plains Indians were being herded on to reservations. Their population was decimated by starvation and disease, the great herds that they depended on for their very survival were just a sad memory. The few Indians that had survived to this point were hungry and impoverished, with absolutely no hope, no future. They were totally at the mercy of the white Christian oppressors, they were as unwanted slaves in their own lands. This was the time of the Ghost Dance, the only futile hope for a future that the Indian had known in many years. The ghost dance was a form of worship that spread like wild fire in the 1880's. Basically it was a belief that if one was pure, obeyed certain rituals, and prayed hard enough, that the souls of all of the ancestors would be reborn and would destroy the white enslaver. It was also thought that the dance would bring back the game and the buffalo, so the Indians would no longer go hungry. This obviously did not sit well with the paranoid whites, particularly those close to the reservations. This was the time of the horrible massacre at wounded knee.

Streaming video presentations: "Truth and Lies" and "Honor and Pain" Appropriate Methods When Teaching About Native American Peoples: indicates link to related site Understand the term "Native American" includes all peoples indigenous to the Western Hemisphere. Present Native American Peoples as appropriate role models to children. Native American students should not be singled out and asked to describe their families' traditions or their peoples' culture(s). Avoid the assumption there are no Native American students in your class. Use books and materials which are written and illustrated by Native American people as primary source materials: speeches, songs, poems, and writings, which show the linguistic skill of a people who have come from an oral tradition. When teaching ABC's, avoid "I is for Indian" and "E is for Eskimo." Avoid rhymes or songs that use Native Americans as counting devices, i.e. "One little, two little, three little..." Research the traditions and histories, oral and written, of Native Americans before attempting to teach these.
