Home Print Page STORE VENDORS ... WEDDING THEMES Native American Traditions Many Native Americans desire a wedding which reflects their Indian heritage. You must understand where relatives and ancestors may have originated from to plan the wedding reflecting your heritage. We have included certain traditions and customs that reflect specific tribes in the United States. Please feel free to contact us with your comments, and any other traditions which you would like us to include. Culture and Spirituality Music Expression ... Traditions Culture and Spirituality Native American culture is composed of many tribes, each with distinct traditions and customs. It is difficult to characterize any aspect of a wedding as being "Native American". Some traditions are common to many tribes, while others are unique. Most Native Americans believe that in the universe there exists the Great Spirit - a spiritual force that is the source of all life. The Great Spirit is not pictured as a man in the sky but it is believed to be formless and to exist throughout the universe. The sun is viewed as a manifestation of the power of the Great Spirit. Some Native American wedding ceremonies are informal, while others are quite formal. When they were not small and informal, they were solemnized with feasts and merrymaking. Evening is the traditional time for the ceremony to occur.

North American Sioux Indian Archery by Robert E. Kaiser, M.A. This article was first published in the Journal of the Society of Archer-Antiquaries, volume 24, 1981. Please read the notice! In the Museum of Westward Expansion, Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, under the Gateway-To-The-West Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, there is an excellent example of Sioux Indian archery, combining both original artifacts and authentic reproductions into one display. The Sioux Nation was one of the many native groups who inhabited the Great Plains of North America. The bow and arrows are reproductions, accurate in every detail; while the quiver and bow case are authentic, from the Ogalala, the largest of the seven tribes which formed the Nation. Together, the set is representative of Sioux Indian archery, circa 1870. Careful examination of these artifacts also reveals much about the culture and environment which determined their construction and use, Plate l. Plate 1: The complete set of Sioux archery equipment A nomadic people, the Sioux of the 1800's existed by hunting food and gathering materials off the land, living in close harmony with their environment. They inhabited a region covering the States of Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska South Dakota and Wyoming, with the Ogalala living in the South-west. Various animals which grazed the terrain provided the Indian with his food, clothing, tools, and transportation. For example, the buffalo provided not only meat but hides for lodgings (tepees) and clothing The animal's bones were used for scrapers, needles, and arrowheads. glue was made from the hoofs. Even the sinews were used for binding and wrapping. Interaction between the native and the environment was so dynamic that the tribe was often forced to divide into groups, whose size was dependent upon the availability of game in that area.

Bombs and Native America By WildHorse Tue Aug 2nd, 2005 at 04:04:30 PM EDT :: Native American The bombing started 63 years ago, ending 42 years ago. In the aftermath there was unexploded ordnance left littering the range. We aren't talking about some island away from civilization. We aren't talking about a foreign destination in the middle of nowhere. We are talking about the heart of America. The lands are sacred to one of America's largest Indian Nations. Welcome to the Badlands, home of the Oglala Sioux Nation. Estimates are 150 ordnances have been removed since 1999, at a cost of $20 million, $5 million more has been slated for this year's removal attempts. 534 square miles of Native America, unusable for 63 years, unsafe for generations of Natives living in the immediate area. The Oglala Nation wants to use the land; the people want a safe area for current and future generations.

Whether an NFL franchise is offensive to members of a community with the use of a name or the US government is seizing and abusing the land without proper compensation (much less mismanaging Indian moneys in a little trust fund debacle), the American Indian is constantly taking a beating. Of course the US government should move as expeditiously as possible to clean up the land and insure with money against claims from unexploded ordinane. To go one step further the government should pay all costs, including training for 20 years for the Oglala Sioux Nation to use the land as described. And this would be only a small portion of what is owed to only one Nation. These people are only asking for opportunity to be successfull. Of course the country should provide this opportunity. The country needs to stop taking and start enabling.

In the area we serve, unemployment is staggering 86 percent compared to the national average of 5.5 percent. Over 60 percent of the people live below the federal poverty level. Children and the elderly are most fragile. They’re extremely vulnerable to the effects of poverty, routinely suffer from hunger and nutrition-related illnesses, lack access to health care, and live in substandard housing. On the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, 59 percent of the homes are considered substandard: 39 percent of homes on the reservation do not have electricity, and 60 percent of families have no telephone. In addition, many residents do not have access to fresh water and must carry water from the local rivers to use in their homes. Sadly these conditions are not uncommon on most of the Sioux Reservations. Mr. Charging Crow shared with

Credit: Henry Franzoni I met Gayle Highpine, a Kootenai Indian, at a monthly meeting of the Western Bigfoot Society. She had published the following paper in a very early Track Record, and gave me permission to reprint it here on the conference. Gayle has traveled extensively among the various reservations and enclaves of North American Indians for the last 30 years. She was a member of A.I.M., the American Indian Movement, during the '70s. A female Indian who was always interested in the old ways, she was and is very interested in learning more about Sasquatch, and she has listened attentively to many medicine men's Sasquatch stories as she traveled from reservation to reservation. I think her paper gives a good basic survey of Native American thought on the subject, and I find her obervation of the apparent division between "Flesh and Blood", thinkers and "Spiritual/Mystical" thinkers highly enlightening. P.S. The Kootenai tribe's home basically is southeast British Columbia. Attitudes Toward Bigfoot in Many North American Cultures By Gayle Highpine "But, special being as he is, I have never heard anyone from a Northwestern tribe suggest that Bigfoot is anything other than a physical being, living in the same physical dimensions as humans and other animals. He eats, he sleeps, he poops, he cares for his family members. However, among many Indians elsewhere in North America... as widely separated at the Hopi, the Sioux, the Iroquois, and the Northern Athabascan Bigfoot is seen more as a sort of supernatural or spirit being, whose appearance to humans is always meant to convey some kind of message."

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians Religion The phenomena referred to by the term Native American religions For instance, among the Ni U Konska Some would argue that the so-called vision quest is evidence of the quintessential individualism of Plains Indian peoples. However, just the opposite can be argued, because in Plains cultures the individual is always in symbiotic relationship with the community. This ceremony involves personal sacrifice: rigorous fasting (no food or liquids) and prayer over several days (typically four to seven) in a location removed from the rest of the community. Yet in a typical rite of vigil or vision quest, the community or some part of the community assists the individual in preparing for the ceremony and then prays constantly on behalf of the individual throughout the ceremony. Thus by engaging in this ceremony, the individual acts on behalf of and for the good of the whole community. Even when an individual seeks personal power or assistance through such a ceremony, he or she is doing so for the ultimate benefit of the community. In God Is Red Indian peoples, then, tend to locate sacred power spatially—in terms of places or in terms of spatial configuration. This is in stark contrast to European and Euro-American religious traditions, which tend to express spirituality in terms of time: a regular hour on Sundays and a seasonal liturgical calendar that has become more and more distanced from any sense of the actual flow of seasons in particular places and is therefore both more abstract and more portable than Native American traditions. In the Southern Hemisphere, for instance, Christians celebrate Lent (named for springtime and the lengthening of the days) and Easter during the antipodean autumn. It would be an exaggeration to argue that Indian peoples have no sense of time or that Europeans have no sense of space. Rather, spatiality is a dominant category of existence for Native Americans whereas time is a subordinate category. Just the opposite is generally true for European peoples.
