Extractions: The Totem Pole For thousands of years, Native American women have made beautiful and functional clothing for their families. They used their skills to prepare hides and to cut and sew tailored clothing which would protect their families from harsh weather. In making and decorating clothing, women also expressed values central to Native American societies: industry, generosity, and especially kinship. The garments on display in the North American clothing case (near the totem pole) were labours of love and skill. It takes about 40 hours of hard physical work to prepare a hide properly so it can be used for clothing: the hide must be carefully removed from the animal, scraped of flesh, and preparations rubbed into it to prevent it from rotting. It then needs to be stretched and rubbed to soften it, and then evenly smoked to a beautiful tan colour. Native women had very high standards for the preparation of hides, and would notice if someone's hides were poorly prepared. Cutting and sewing a hide shirt, dress, or coat also involved very skilled work. Garments were cut to take advantage of the natural shape of hides. The leather was cut using flint blades, and later, scissors or steel knives traded from Europeans. Seams were sewn with thread made from sinew, the long muscles along the back of a hoofed mammal, which was carefully dried and split into even lengths. Even after European contact, women preferred to use sinew for sewing, which they simply passed through a hole in the hide made with an awl. Steel awls were very efficient, and could be made out of scraps of items traded from Europeans set into bone handles; Plains women wore awl cases as accessories on their belts much as European women wore "chatelaines" with scissors.

Extractions: by Ana Carrigan It is 6:00 am on the beach at Puerto Cabezas on Nicaraguas Atlantic coast. Every morning at this hour 100 or so townspeople gather to watch the fishermen haul their nets to shore with the nights catch. The scene has a Biblical timelessness about it: this is how they might have fished on the shores of Lake Galilee. For someone fresh off the plane from Managua that over-worked phrase culture-shock takes on fresh meaning. This curious part of Central America still retains the feeling of a remote Caribbean island - one that has become involved in a social revolution as if by accident.

Extractions: Whether you are doing historical or genealogical research, please note that "Iroquois" is a non-Native term. The term is used to represent the six aboriginal nations who united to form a confederacy. The result was what some people call "The Iroquois Confederacy." The correct designation should be Haudenosaunee, or the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. It is an unfortunate fact that most of the names the native tribes are known by today, were actually words given to those tribes by their enemies. It was not the name the tribe, (or group, in the case of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy), gave themselves. The word "Iroquois" is a French variation of an Abenaki word which meant "rattlesnake." It is my hope that by using the word "Iroquois" here and there on my website, someone may stop by and pass the correct information on to others. The people who make up the nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy will thank you. The six nations who formed the Haudenosaunee Confederacy are: the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk, and Tuscarora. Each nation is a separate group with their own government, land base, and membership.
