Encyclopedia Delaware u u r] Pronunciation Key Delaware , English name given several closely related Native American groups of the Algonquian branch of the Algonquian-Wakashan linguistic stock (see Native American languages ). In the 17th cent., they lived in what is now New Jersey, Delaware, E Pennsylvania, and SE New York. They called themselves the Lenni-Lenape or the Lenape and were given the name Delaware by the settlers because they lived in the vicinity of the Delaware River. The Delaware evolved into a loose confederacy of three major divisions: the Munsee (wolf), the Unalachtigo (turkey), and the Unami (turtle). They occupied the territory from which most of the Algonquian tribes had originated and were accorded the respectful title of grandfather by these tribes. They traded with the Dutch early in the 17th cent., sold much of their land, and began moving inland to the Susquehanna valley. In 1682 they made a treaty of friendship with William Penn, which he did his best to honor. In 1720 the Delaware fell victim to Iroquois attack and were forced to move into what is now Ohio.

http://members.aol.com/porchthree/nativeam.htm - Native Americans Interfaith Religion and Beliefs for an Internet Generation PORCH NUS The E-Zine of The Front Porch Religions of the World Native American Spirituality Native American Spirituality might be defined as the indigenous religious traditions of the many peoples who inhabited the Americas prior to contact with Europeans from 1492 onward. The customs, rituals and iconography varied tremendously throughout the Americas. Attempting to compare them with the formalized written traditions of Asia, Europe and the Middle East is an exercise in futility. Native American Spirituality was (and is, for those still practicing it) part and parcel of living. It involved a relationship with the natural world as opposed to a weekly or daily schedule of worship services. With few exceptions there was no priesthood or system of temples. Above all, there was no written record and, but for a very few cases, no inscriptions or monuments. Foreword to Soul of the Indian © 1911 by Charles Alexander Eastman Full Electronic Text at University of Virginia "WE also have a religion which was given to our forefathers, and has been handed down to us their children. It teaches us to be thankful, to be united, and to love one another! We never quarrel about religion."

(London: Gaia Books Ltd, 1990. Some of what follows was written by representatives of indigenous peoples; some was provided by non-indigenous people. Julian Burger explains that there is no universally agreed name for the peoples he describes as first peoples: "... because their ancestors were the original inhabitants of the lands, since colonized by foreigners. Many territories continue to be so invaded. The book also calls them indigenous, a term widely accepted by the peoples themselves, and now adopted by the United Nations." (BURGER, p.16) `Fourth World' is a term used by the World Council of Indigenous Peoples to distinguish the way of life of indigenous peoples from those of the First (highly industrialized), Second (Socialist bloc) and Third (developing) worlds. The First, Second and Third Worlds believe that `the land belongs to the people'; the Fourth World believes that `the people belong to the land. (BURGER, p.18) A PORTRAIT OF THE FIRST PEOPLES First peoples see existence as a living blend of spirits, nature and people. All are one, inseparable and interdependent a holistic vision

Proposed Legislation in the United States In July, 2002 sacred land protection legislation was introduced both at the federal level and in California. The Sacred Lands Protection Act (H.R. 5155) , was introduced on July 18, 2002 by Congressman Nick Rahall (D, WV) and never moved out of committee, though S.B. 1828, The Native American Sacred Sites Protection Act , sponsored by California State Senator John Burton (D, San Francisco), was passed by both the state Assembly and Senate before being vetoed by Governor Gray Davis. Read an insightful critique of these two proposed pieces of legislation by cultural resources expert Thomas F. King, and California on September 30, 2002. On June 11, 2003 Rep. Nick Rahall (D, WV) re-introduced a revised Native American Sacred Lands Act (H.R. 2419) . In contrast, Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R, CO), Chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, has introduced the Indian Contracting and Federal Land Management Demonstration Project Act (S 288) Essential Elements of Public Policy to Protect Native Sacred Places (SD-02-027) S.B. 18, ...

Guestbook IV. After European Contact With the coming of Europeans to North America, Native Americans experienced a series of dislocations from which they are still struggling to recover. Foreign invaders overran their territories and claimed sovereignty over their communities, diseases ravaged their populations, and their environments were drastically altered. In many cases, Native Americans were forcibly removed from their aboriginal homelands and livelihoods, with the result that indigenous cultures underwent rapid change. In the midst of these crises, as Native Americans turned to their own religious traditions to understand and ease their plight, missionaries attempted to convert them from their traditional religions to Christianity.

In 1889 a Paiute prophet named Wovoka foretold the imminent end of the current world order. Casting himself in a messianic role that seemed to be influenced by Christian imagery, Wovoka promised that if Native Americans would conduct a ceremony known as the Ghost Dance, depleted animal populations and deceased relatives would be restored. For several years, many indigenous peoples in the western part of North America performed the ceremony, even after United States Army troops massacred Sioux ghost dancers at Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota in 1890.

Native American Religions I. Introduction Native American Religions , beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes of the indigenous peoples of North America concerning the spiritual forces of the cosmos. These beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes remained an integral part of indigenous North American cultures until the European settlement of North America was completed at the end of the 19th century. Beginning in the mid-20th century, Native American religions underwent a revival, particularly among the Plains peoples. (For additional information on Native American cultures, see Native Americans.) II. Origins and Development From their arrival on the continent at least 15,000 years ago until their encounter with Europeans, the indigenous peoples of North America lived primarily as hunters and gatherers. Until the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago, the peoples of North America shared a common culture with other Arctic peoples. They were, for the most part, nomadic hunters who tracked large mammals of the late Pleistocene Epoch and foraged for wild plant foods. As the ice caps retreated and the ecosystems of North America began to take on their present characteristics, indigenous peoples spread out across the continent and settled in various environmental niches. These groups established
