NATIVE AMERICAN SPIRITUALITY Click below to visit our sponsors. Quotations: " The culture, values and traditions of native people amount to more than crafts and carvings. Their respect for the wisdom of their elders, their concept of family responsibilities extending beyond the nuclear family to embrace a whole village, their respect for the environment, their willingness to share - all of these values persist within their own culture even though they have been under unremitting pressure to abandon them. " Mr. Justice Thomas Berger, Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, (aka the Berger Inquiry). " Rather than going to church, I attend a sweat lodge; rather than accepting bread and toast [sic] from the Holy Priest, I smoke a ceremonial pipe to come into Communion with the Great Spirit; and rather than kneeling with my hands placed together in prayer, I let sweetgrass be feathered over my entire being for spiritual cleansing and allow the smoke to carry my prayers into the heavens. I am a Mi'kmaq, and this is how we pray. " Noah Augustine, from his article "

ART IN THE CULTURE Artist unknown Coast Salish Rattle, Mountain sheep horn, mountain horn, mountain goat wool, wood, abalone shell unknown 94.0 x 47.0 no date Art pervaded all of Northwest Coast Indian culture. Even the most utilitarian objects such as spoons, fish clubs, and paddles were decorated. The two-dimensional art is founded on a system of rules which order design organization. Sculptural art demands that anatomical features be carved in certain ways, giving rise to distinct tribal styles. Hopefully those surfers wishing to explore the art further will gain some ability to reconcile regional, tribal and personal style as a result of this presentation. Art served two main purposes in coastal Indian life. On one hand it is a crest art- a totem pole, dancing headdress, house-frontal painting, or decorated blanket signaling the owner's mythic origins. this was most highly developed among the northwest tribes where inheritance was thorough the female line. Crest art was emphasized during potlatches and feasts and as such verified and validated the social system. On the other hand, art made the super natural world visible. The incredible array of creatures- human, animal and mythic that inhabit the minds and landscapes of Northwest Coast people are realized through the medium of dance dramas. The skill evident in plastic and graphic arts is only part of a continuum which extended into theater. Movement in dance can be likened to the flow of line in two-dimensional art. In flickering firelight, the bold sculptural planes of carvings alternately gathered shadow and reflected light as performers circled the dance floor. And it was the artist's role to render fantastic then creatures of both the real world and the mythic cosmos.

Native Peoples of Siberia This page presents links for information on the many native peoples of Siberia. The colors of this page are the same as the Siberian Flag and the flags of several Siberian nations. The green represents the Siberian taiga, the largest forest in the world, the white represents the snow of winter. The Siberian winter is from November to March, and is culturally as well as materially important for all Siberians, native or Russian. However, Siberia is not the frozen wasteland as some believe, but a very rich and diverse environment sheltering vast amounts of wildlife and plants, some of which are quite rare and valuable. The peoples of Siberia fall into three major ethno-linguistic groups: Uralic Altaic Paleo-Siberian The Buryat, the main group discussed at this website, are an Altaic nationality. Below you will find links grouped according to these three groups. In addition to this, please check out the Shamanism from Other Siberian Traditions page in order to view materials about the shamanism of these other native groups. This page also includes a section on native rights and environmental issues. Additional information will be found in the Relationship between Siberian and other native peoples page.

Its use here does NOT in any way imply that AAO or DMI endorse any scientific facts or religious beliefs discussed in these web pages. All humans are interested in their origins and try to account for their existence through creation stories. Creation stories commonly explain how people came into existence, how they came to be live where they do, how they acquired tools and customs, and why people should act, or not act, in certain ways. Most commonly creation stories contain fundamental conceptions of nature, society, and how people ought to relate to the world and to one another. All societies have such creation stories. Every native North American society has such stories recounting the actions and deeds of "power" in the past. Here are two such stories. Life . . . rests on five successive periods. Its first was...self-born. That was the divine spirit, the first cause, the desire to be. Then came the creation; the creation of being, the bringing into begin of material thingsthe starts of heaven, the elements of earth and atmosphere, life in its elemental form, the desire to live and survive.... The first earth's environment was one of mistsimmaterial, unformed. The second was of water, with land portions floating on it. During this period all sea life was conceived and developed. The third stage brought the coming of animals and bird life of many kinds along with elemental human types. The fourth stage was a time of earth wandering, a search by Navajo forebears for a durable home. This was found; the land of turquoise skies. The fifth has been of gradual advance...of the Navajo people.

Smithsonian Institution Paleoamerican Origins Recent discoveries in New World archaeology along with new scientific methods for analyzing data have led to new ideas regarding the origin of the first peoples of the Americas and their time of arrival. The traditional theory held that the first Americans crossed the land bridge from Siberia to Alaska around 11,500 years ago and followed an "ice-free corridor" between two large Canadian ice sheets (the Laurentide and Cordilleran) to reach unglaciated lands to the south. These first inhabitants, whose archaeological sites are scattered across North and South America, were called the Clovis people, named after the town in New Mexico where their fluted spear points used for hunting mammoth were first found in 1932. If the Clovis people were not here first, then who was? Clovis points are found in many sites in North and Central America with a significant early cluster in the southeastern United States. Points similar to Clovis but without fluting and dating more than 12,000 years ago have been found in stratified archaeological sites in the eastern United States, such the Cactus Hill, Virginia. These finds have occurred because archaeologists are no longer halting their digging at the bottom of the Clovis level. So far scientists have found no technological affinities to relate Clovis to the Asian Paleolithic. However, Europe may have possible lithic precursors to Clovis. The Solutrean culture of western Europe, dating between 24,000 and 16,500 years ago, shows a similar lithic technology to that used to produce Clovis tools. The two cultures also share bone-shaping techniques, pebble-decorating artistry, the unusual tradition of burying stone tools in caches filled with red ocher, and other traits.

Oklahoma valley near the Poteau river Following the War of 1812 (1812-1815) the U.S. government decided to move Native Americans west of the Mississippi River to open up new land for white settlers from the East. One of the nation’s most populous Native American regions covered western North and South Carolina, eastern Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi and was inhabited by the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee. Whites referred to these peoples collectively as the Five Civilized Tribes because they resembled European nations in organization and economy, and because they quickly incorporated many European imports, such as fruit trees, into their way of life. For generations these peoples had been powerful commercial and military allies of European colonial powers, and many had adopted white styles of dress, agricultural and commercial practices, and politics. Kerr running for Congress (later U.S. senator from Oklahoma) Acculturation, however, had not won them friendship with whites. Southern state governments and Southerners in the United States Congress regularly demanded that the federal government remove these peoples so that white farmers and planters could use their land. This was especially true after 1829, when gold was discovered on Cherokee land in Georgia. Osage tree ("bodark" - a hard wood from this tree used for many purposes)

Native Americans and John Wesley In England, John Wesley , Methodism's founder, was appalled by the atrocities Europeans committed against Native Americans. He poured out his moral outrage on European Christians, including the English colonists. In his sermon " A Caution Against Bigotry ," Wesley doesn't gloss over anything: Even cruelty and bloodshed, how little have the Christians come behind them! And not the Spaniards or the Portuguese alone, butchering thousands in South America: not the Dutch only in the East Indies, or the French in North America, following the Spaniards step by step: our own countrymen, too, have wantoned in blood, and exterminated whole nations; plainly proving thereby what spirit it is that dwells and works in the children of disobedience. Tragically few listened to Wesley. Warfare against Native Americans continued until the end of the nineteenth century as the United States moved westward. This expansion was inspired by the nation's " manifest destiny ." Manifest destiny was the belief that the United States was destined or chosen to occupy all the geographical territory between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This idea was very popular in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Native Americans were viewed as obstacles to "manifest destiny."

At the time of first contact with French and English explorers in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the Massachusetts were a populous, semi-sedentary people dependent on marine and estuarine resources, cultivated crops, and wild game. The Massachusetts were among the hardest hit of southern New England native peoples by the European-introduced epidemic of 1616-1619, which may have claimed up to 90 percent of their population. Like most of their neighbors, the Massachusetts were organized into political units known as sachemships, each led by a hereditary ruler, usually male, known as a sachem or sagamore. A complex and hierarchical social order was characteristic of these sachemships, with the sachem occupying the position of highest prestige. The sachem's responsibilities included the allocation of land, diplomacy, trade, and decisions concerning warfare. The sachem's advisers, sometimes called "nobles" by English settlers, shared the burdens of leadership as well. Warriors who underwent rigorous training also occupied positions of status within Massachusett society.

Their unique languages, colorful dances, distinct arts and crafts, and cultural stories and traditions handed down through the generations are intrinsic to the Land of Enchantment. The spiritual roots that sustain the state's various tribes, connecting them to the earth and sky, to wind and water, to sun and moon, and to their ancestors is a major tourism draw to New Mexico. Paulene Shebala welcomes you to the Land of Enchantment! Native American traditions affect many aspects of our modern lifestyles. Perhaps the most obvious is the architectural style of the typical pueblo village, which is imitated statewide and often combined with other traditional and modern building styles. Archaeologists theorize that New Mexico Native American groups began evolving from 12,000 to 30,000 years ago. During this span of time groups of prehistoric Indians wandered throughout what is now New Mexico and the Southwest, some possibly arriving from across the Bering Strait. Certain groups of these nomads developed farming skills and established some of the first agrarian communities, whose crops are still grown today on many of New Mexico's farmlands, including those on today's pueblos and reservations. The descendants of these early people today belong to as many as 22 distinct pueblos and tribes. Each maintains separate, sovereign governments and they take great care to preserve ancient traditions and language.

Thank you! Coyote Medicine by Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD Lewis Mehl-Madrona , as a doctor at the forefront of alternative medicine tells the enlightening story of his struggle to make doctors and their patients aware of the limitations of modern Western medicine. I have no Native American blood, but every page of this book awakened fresh awareness why many feel such despair in dealing with what is called "healing" among American practitioners of medicine. The author's approaches will grate on those who value dogma and replicable rigidity over substance and intuitive responses to the individual. [Further reviews are available here Coyote Healing: Miracles in Native Medicine by Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD Operating from the perspective of a shaman, Dr. Mehl-Madrona respects the patient's ability to cure himself... As he explains, "Activating the inner healer is the most important aspect of what I do..., but I recognize that the inner healer makes all these approaches work." Because of the success of his first book, many people seek him out, and we hear their stories. They have usually been told their cases were beyond hope. Working with the author, some patients do recover, others sadly, do not. But Dr. Mehl-Madrona refuses to speak of "failures," nor does he use cases to argue for or against shamanic or complementary approaches. Rather, he sees the healing process itself as the miracle.

Collection Posters The Native American Collection About the Donors Native American Cultures The Native American Home Page Basketry Collection: Beadwork Collection: Pottery Collection: Native American Cultures A knowledge of Native American art must encompass the great diversity of Native American cultures. It is impossible to formulate a single concept of the "average" Native American. At the time of the first contact between whites and native peoples, there was far more cultural and linguistic variety in North America than in Europe, and much of that diversity continues today. (Approximately 30 languages are still in use, classified into 6 major groups.) It is believed that as many as 600 distinct native cultures may have existed at one time or another on the North American continent. Just as they adapted their lives to their available resources, Native Americans employed these resources to create their art. Through this link, artifacts become mirrors that reflect the activities and environments of the native peoples who made them. But Native American art is far from static; many cultures continue to thrive. Today's artists pull from their rich history of tribal art, as well as the events and ideas of contemporary society, to produce vibrant and relevant art. An examination of Pomona's collection offers insight to the lives and creative processes of these artists, while it reveals the masterful craftsmanship of their superb works of art.
