Extractions: Native American Names European explorers have asked this question since they found one group of Native Americans to ask about another. Unfortunately the answers were heavily influenced by confusion and expediency, so the names that Americans and Canadians use today for Native Americans often have little to do with how those peoples refer to themselves. For example, the "Thompson" Indians were named after the explorer who "found" their river and "Eskimo" might have been a southerly attempt at insult (it may mean "eaters of raw meat" in Algonkian). Many native communities have recently begun to use more meaningful and accurate names for themselves. Some of these changes are minor historical corrections, some are substantially different. Some of these changes are widely used in conversation and writing, while others have only been suggested. Older words may continue to be acceptable, or they might be totally offensive. Although long overdue, this process can cause some confusion, particularly if you attempt to relate older published works (in our bibliographies) with contemporary Internet resources (in our on-line resource pages). So I have begun to compile a list of these changes. The list does not include small changes in spelling or longstanding differences in nomenclature. Please send corrections or additions Abbreviations: s = singular; p = plural; l = language; "" = translation; der = derogatory; pr = pronounced.

"... 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)

Extractions: Aadizookaan means (in Anishinaabemowin , or Ojibwe language) "a traditional story", what anthros and others seem to like calling legends or myths. These are or in their original, were often sacred. Those represnt large themes of human existence: where we came from, how we should live, reconcilliation to the tragedies of life, thankfulness There are smaller stories: teaching, humorous, answering "Why?" questions about natural phenomena and behavior. Finally, traditional indigenous peoples had no TV, no books; stories were entertainment, too. TO THOSE WHO TRANSCRIBE NATIVE MYTHS: Our myths appear popular as NuAge web page fillers. Native myths, as opposed to tall tales and little stories for children, are not entertainment. It is important that you cite the source from which you transcribed it, the collector or non-Indian reteller-translator of the myth, and if given, the original teller. And, of course, the tribe. I think Native myths are meaningless removed from cultural context, but if there is any educational value to them, they must be identified with a specific people, time, and place. Some retellers are reliable. Others sanitize and restructure stories, making them worthless as a means to learn about a culture a kind of racism, where retellers believe Native myths (which are often owned by specific individuals or families) are merely primitive raw material for their own literary efforts, often crude and condescending. There are

Extractions: 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.
