NATIVE AMERICANS Webquest by Jane Simon "Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children." Ancient Indian Proverb INTRODUCTION We believe that the original inhabitants of North America arrived thousands of years ago. Many names have been used to describe these people. We will refer to them as Native Americans or Indians. During the last several hundred years, these Native Americans have suffered many hard times, often, unfortunately, when coming into contact with the "newly" arrived European Immigrants. As you explore the various activities included in this webquest, try to get a sense of where the Indians were in their beliefs, what caused differences in their lifestyles, how important the earth and nature were to them, and their interactions with other groups of people. YOUR TASK During your Native American study you will explore various areas of the Indian culture from the past.

25. Glen Canyon Dam: Socio-cultural The Effects of the Glen Canyon Dam on the navajo indians the time came tobegin construction and many navajo native americans were hired for the job. http://www2.kenyon.edu/Projects/Dams/gsc05det.html

The Effects of the Glen Canyon Dam on the Navajo Indians Construction environmental changes that forced the Navajos to alter their way of living. Obstructing Religious Freedom The most striking cultural affect of the Glen Canyon Dam deals with the sacred Rainbow Bridge . This National monument, deemed on the great wonders of the world, has tremendous religious value to the Navajo Nation. Prior to the construction of the dam, the Rainbow bridge was isolated and visited by few non Native American tourists. However after the dam, and the subsequent formation of Lake Powell, there exists an easy and convenient access to the Monument. The Bureau of Reclamation and the Director of National Park Services both operate boats on the lake, to transport tourists back and forth from the bridge. In 1974, several Navajo tribal members filed a suit against the Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of Bureau of Reclamation and the Director of the National Parks services. The court case, Badoni vs. Higginson , illustrates the severe cultural conflict that was heightened with the presence of the dam. The Navajo members who filed suit were several medicine men who practice “spiritual healing.” The two major claims that these men made, articulate the astounding affects the dam has had on Navajo life. First, the operation of the dam violated first amendment rights explicit in the establishment clause, in two ways. They stated that the impounding of water to form lake Powell not only drowned several gods, but denied Navajos access to a prayer spot sacred to them. Also, by allowing tourists at Rainbow Bridge, the government permitted desecration of the sacred nature of the site and overall denied the plaintiffs the right to conduct religious ceremonies at the spot. The second claim was that environmental impact has had adversely affected Navajo life and culture.

fig. 7: Ah-Tra-Ah-Saun Bertha Thompson, Yurok by Emma B. Freeman, 1914 Women Photographers and the American Indian by Peter E. Palmquist Rendezvous Women who photographed Native Americans were often commercial photographers who photographed American Indians as they would any other subject matter (Benedicte Wrensted fits this classification). Others ranged from camera-toting "tourists," to fine-art photographers (many of whom also exploited their art commercially). We will probably never know when the "first" woman made a photographic likeness of a Native American. In the American West, such a photograph would most likely have been taken after 1850. In 1864, Mr. and Mrs. Larimer (commercial photographers), were part of a wagon train that was attacked by Sioux Indians. The husband was killed and Mrs. Larimer was taken captive. A first-hand description of the confrontation included this poignant passage: Her agitation was extreme. Her grief seemed to have reached its climax when she saw the Indians destroying her property, which consisted principally of such articles as belong to the daguerreian art. She had indulged in high hopes of fortune from the prosecution of this art among the mining towns of Idaho. As she saw her chemicals, picture cases, and other property pertaining to her calling, being destroyed, she uttered such a wild despairing cry as brought the chief of the band to us, who, with a gleaming knife, threatened to end all her further troubles in this world (Kelly 1872: 44-45).

Native American Spirituality Profile Beliefs Groups Native Americans and Christianity ... Bibliography I. Profile The diversity of American Indian tribes precludes a comprehensive examination of their religions and their belief systems. Anthropologists have compiled a huge trove of information detailing practices and beliefs of many different groups; this information remains isolated from popular culture. While there is a proliferation of popularized versions of Native American spirituality, these are often not the products of the tribes or their members. The beliefs and practices of many groups are sectarian derivatives of other native groups, and there is also a significant infusion of Christianity, and more recently, New Age beliefs and practices permeating these traditional beliefs. The origins of contemporary Native American religion, and that of their recent ancestors, can be traced back 30,000 to 60,000 years with the arrival of the first groups of people from northeast Asia. The religion of Native Americans has developed from the hunting taboos, animal ceremonialism, beliefs in spirits, and shamanism embraced by those early ancestors (Hultkrantz, 3, 12). Since these peoples settled in America slowly and in small groups over several thousand years, we still lack precise immigration knowledge. Beyond the directly inherited traditional Native American religions, a wide body of modified sects abounds. The Native American Church claims a membership of 250,000, which would constitute the largest of the Native American religious organizations. Though the church traces the sacramental use of the peyote cactus back ten thousand years, the Native American Church was only founded in 1918. Well into the reservation era, this organization was achieved with the help of a Smithsonian Institute anthropologist. The church incorporates generic Native American religious rites, Christianity, and the use of the peyote plant. The modern peyote ritual is comprised of four parts: praying, singing, eating peyote, and quietly contemplating (Smith, 167-173; Anderson, 41).

Native Americans have lived throughout North America for thousands of years. This was long before Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World and named them "Indians". He had mistakenly thought he had reached his destination of India. We are going to discover what our world, the Southwestern United States, looked like during the time of Native Americans. Come along on a journey where you will discover different cultures and learn to look at your home in a new way. Each tribe had a distinct culture yet shared many of the same beliefs. WHAT WILL I DO? You have the task to learn about the location of the tribes, types of homes, clothing, food, and beliefs and/or crafts of the Hopi, Navajo, Pueblo,Western Apache,and Zuni tribes. At the end of this unit you will have to decide to join a tribe and write about your life there. Which tribe would you like to join? Why? Activity 1 - Look at the map of the Southwestern United States. On this map you will find the locations of the 5 tribes you will be studying in this unit: Hopi, Navajo, Pueblo, Western Apache and Zuni. Click on the name of the tribe, a hand will appear, and read about the tribal ways of each tribe. When you finish reading about that tribe remember to use the BACK arrow to return to this page.
