Culture-> Tribal Customs: Many Indians say, 'no thanks' to Thanksgiving
Posted on Thursday, November 22 @ 13:09:02 CST (4689 reads)
|
AUTHOR: Anju Kaur
Desiree Shelley's family has observed Thanksgiving for generations, but
that doesn't mean she doesn't understand the protests of fellow Indians who
don't.
A native of Baltimore, Shelley has roots in the Monacan tribe of Virginia.
Her father is part Monacan, a tribe that was "Christianized" shortly after
the Jamestown colonization in the early 1600s, she said.
"Even if some American Indians celebrate (the holiday), there is a
prevailing feeling of hurt for a lot of people," Shelley said. "We have all
been assimilated and colonized. We have lost our history, our language and
our culture. What do you expect?"

Culture-> Tribal Customs: The Mother Blessingway Ceremony
Posted on Tuesday, September 18 @ 00:13:26 CDT (6819 reads)
|
A Mother Blessing is one form of the Navajo Blessingway ceremony. It is a ritual for the expectant mother. A Mother Blessingway is a gathering of only women who get together, tell (positive) birth stories, give the expectant mother emotional support and pamper her a bit (brush her hair, wash her feet, massage her).
The tone, content, and intent of a blessingway can vary greatly, but generally, the modern event involves songs, food, and the giving of symbolic gifts and good wishes to the mother. In less spiritual practice, a blessing way is similar to a baby shower and is held for a pregnancy other than a woman’s first.

TNB->Souix Nation: Indian people knew the universe and followed the stars
Posted on Sunday, May 06 @ 19:03:23 CDT (5150 reads)
|
AUTHOR: Tim Giago
The so-called oral histories of many of the Indian tribes are often based on actual events, even those deemed as myths. If one takes the time to study the prophecies and the medicine of the Hopi, Lakota and other Indian nations, I believe they would be startled to find that so many of these predictions and cures are true.

AUTHOR: Jody Rave Lee of the Missoulian
When the nation's premier woolen company asked artist Jesse Henderson to
design a Pendleton blanket, he took it seriously.
“I was trying to be sensitive to my people,” said Henderson, a
Chippewa-Cree from the Rocky Boy's Reservation in northern Montana. “It's
not just another pretty blanket. I set out to show a good representation of
us.”
