Navajo HOGAN: North American Native American Indian Pre-Contact Housing
panIndian (intertribal) native American (Peyote) church, to which more than 30,000 reservation navajos belong. The hogan is for traditional navajo ceremonies
http://www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/houses/hogan.html

Extractions: Page buttons Blessingway Coyote got logs and instructions on how to build the hogan from the Beaver People. (Cottonwood trees were already found on this world when the people emerged from below.) The first hogan was the fork-stick hogan frame, a pyramid with 5 triangular faces. The first 2 logs are a fork-tipped log placed to the north and a straight male log to the south. The male log is joined into the female fork at the top, symbolizing a strong partnership between a man and a woman, husband and wife, in their future home. Another fork-tipped log is placed from the west (called "Sundown") Two logs are positioned for the open door frame in the east, two more logs placed over the door to frame the entrance, and a final log goes crosswise at the top of the chimney. This completes the original fork-stick hogan's framework, whose construction is described in the Blessingway sing. This is a male hogan. The Red Earth Indian Museum (Oklahoma) has a cutaway tabletop model of a fork-stick hogan. The straight male log (south) has its butt end to the front and the door (east) is on the left of the picture here. The straight log fits into the fork-tip of the female log, whose butt end is at the north (to the back of this model). The West (Sunset) log barely shows at the right edge of the cutaway. The doorframe and the two doorframe roof logs are at the left of the pictured model. Continuing the Blessingway first hogan instructions: Beaver told Coyote to sit on the ground facing east, holding his knees in both hands. This demonstrated to everyone that the fork-stick hogan was a model of a human being in this sitting position. The door curtain was made of dawn, so people may rise each morning and meet the dawn light. Precious turquoise, white shell beads, obsidian, jet, and abalone shell were placed on the frame with reed plants which had carried the people up to their emergence from the worlds below (some versions say the precious stones and shells were buried under the log framework). Songs were sung as it was built, to make it a very holy place.

Canadian cartography grad student collects some basic explanations of GIS and what some tribes are doing (mostly finding out they can't afford it; been seeing the wrong consultants!) GIS is what I'm doing in a small way here. Best current example of how an info-magagement GIS works will be found in MINNESOTA. (1/23). What is GIS? ESRI, an engineering-consulting firm that specializes in GIS, provides the full scoop. ESRI has about 20 tribal customers, including the Navajo Nation. GIS is expensive, but they'll also help a Native Nation get started with grants of the (very expensive) ArcInfo software, training scholarships and extensive help and if need be, a Big Mac and the special scanner needed for the biggest effort, which is the time and efforts required to digitize the local data for a real GIS. A good way for tribes to get started may be through conservation management, using the easier (and much cheaper!) ArcView. ESRI has a conservation program offering get-started grants and training, that they'd like to see more Native Nations and Indian environmental groups get involved in.
Southwest
This meant that the indians could not depend on hunting to find food. Some important Southwest Culture tribes are the Anasazi, Hopi, Pueblo, and navajo.
http://www.germantown.k12.il.us/html/southwest.html

Extractions: Grade 3 Indian Project The Southwest Culture was very different from the Plains Culture. The climate of the Southwest is very dry. Much of the land is a desert . A desert is a very dry place where few plants will grow. Water was a precious natural resource in this culture. The Indians in this culture had strict rules about the use of water. Even the very young children were taught to be careful with the water they used. There were very few animals in the desert. This meant that the Indians could not depend on hunting to find food. They had to find other ways to get food. They became farmers. Some important Southwest Culture tribes are the Anasazi, Hopi, Pueblo , and Navajo. The Anasazi Indians lived over 1,000 years ago. The Anasazi built their homes in a special place. The land in the Southwest was very different from the Great Plains. Instead of wide open land, the Southwest is made of uneven land with canyons and mesas (ma' suz).

Extractions: This document covers the ancient and modern history of the Anasazi, Hopi, Navajo, and neighboring peoples of the Four Corners region, with information on the cultures and environment of the Southwestern Colorado Plateau. As with many other pages, it will be perpetually under construction, so bookmark it and plan to return if you see things you like. The intention is to add, build, and improve over time. Plans for the future include additional topics, more graphics, and additional links. The graphics on this page have been kept minimal and simple, for the time being, to reduce load times, and in consideration of a friend who has a browser (developed by Gutenberg himself, we suspect) that only supports text. However, as more material becomes available, items like the following photo strip of the Black Mesa, on the horizon, bathed in sun on a dark and stormy afternoon, are being added. The document has been formatted as a series of modest-sized pages to allow flexibility in choosing pages to load, to speed load times, and for ease of printing

Native American Arts and Crafts We get a fair amount of mail asking us to recommend websites where people can buy authentic American Indian arts and crafts. There are a lot of imitations of Native American artwork out there, and it can be hard to tell the wheat from the chaff. It doesn't help that most Native American artists don't have websites, whereas every marketer of Chinese-made dreamcatcher knockoffs has at least twenty different URLs trying to sell their stuff. So if you're looking for arts and crafts that were actually made by Native Americans, either because it's important to you to have the real thing or because you want to support native people with your purchase, here is a list of some American Indian artists whose work is available online. This list is by no means completeplease email us if you have a website of Native American art (traditional, contemporary, or mixed) for us to add. We will gladly advertise any individual native artist or native-owned art business here free of charge. We do not link to arts or crafts which are not made by tribally recognized American Indian, Inuit, or First Nations artists, so please do not ask us to.

Extractions: Native American Languages Native American Tribes What's new on our site today! American Indian Jewelry Jewelry styles were different in every American Indian tribe, but the differences were less marked than with other arts and crafts, because jewelry and the materials used for making it (beads, shells, copper and silver, ivory, amber, turquoise and other stones) were major trade items long before European arrival in America. After colonization, Native American jewelry-making traditions remained strong, incorporating, rather than being replaced by, new materials and techniques such as glass beads and more advanced metalworking techniques. There are two very general categories of Native American jewelry Native American beadwork page for more information and pictures about different beading arts.

Extractions: For more than a week now, Native people across the United States and Canada have expressed their outrage over the stereotyped Outkast performance at the 46th Grammy Awards. The Native media did an admirable job of covering the controversy, but in contrast to the wall-to-wall coverage generated by Janet Jackson's halftime show, the Outkast performance has raised barely a whisper among the mainstream media. Native people again find themselves out of sight, out of mind. The Radio-Television News Directors Association and UNITY: Journalists of Color convened an historic meeting in New York on Friday, January 9, 2004, to examine the disturbing decline in racial and ethnic representation in the nations local broadcast newsrooms. In attendance were the presidents of four network news divisions and senior executives of major television and radio ownership groups, as well as representatives of RTNDA, UNITY and its four partner organizations representing journalists of color. On Nov 21, 2003, the governing council for the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) passed a resolution supporting a Free and Independent Native Press. The resolution, sponsored by Lisa and Frank King III, encourages all tribal nations to adopt policies, which ensure Freedom of the Press and further calls upon all tribal governments to pass similar policies that allow the unrestricted flow of information concerning news and news events. As an active member of the Native American Journalists Association, Frank King, said the resolution was a perfect fit for NAJAs ongoing efforts in the fight for a free and unfettered press in Indian country.
