Native American Spirituality Profile Beliefs Groups Native Americans and Christianity ... Bibliography I. Profile The diversity of American Indian tribes precludes a comprehensive examination of their religions and their belief systems. Anthropologists have compiled a huge trove of information detailing practices and beliefs of many different groups; this information remains isolated from popular culture. While there is a proliferation of popularized versions of Native American spirituality, these are often not the products of the tribes or their members. The beliefs and practices of many groups are sectarian derivatives of other native groups, and there is also a significant infusion of Christianity, and more recently, New Age beliefs and practices permeating these traditional beliefs. The origins of contemporary Native American religion, and that of their recent ancestors, can be traced back 30,000 to 60,000 years with the arrival of the first groups of people from northeast Asia. The religion of Native Americans has developed from the hunting taboos, animal ceremonialism, beliefs in spirits, and shamanism embraced by those early ancestors (Hultkrantz, 3, 12). Since these peoples settled in America slowly and in small groups over several thousand years, we still lack precise immigration knowledge. Beyond the directly inherited traditional Native American religions, a wide body of modified sects abounds. The Native American Church claims a membership of 250,000, which would constitute the largest of the Native American religious organizations. Though the church traces the sacramental use of the peyote cactus back ten thousand years, the Native American Church was only founded in 1918. Well into the reservation era, this organization was achieved with the help of a Smithsonian Institute anthropologist. The church incorporates generic Native American religious rites, Christianity, and the use of the peyote plant. The modern peyote ritual is comprised of four parts: praying, singing, eating peyote, and quietly contemplating (Smith, 167-173; Anderson, 41).

106. _The Animals Came Dancing_ -- Native American And European Rationalizations For January 10, 2003. In The Animals Came Dancing, Howard Harrod surveyed native american mythology regarding the relationship between animals and humans. http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande/wildlf24.htm

_The Animals Came Dancing_ Native American and European Rationalizations for Killing Wildlife Do the Animals Really Care?! Michael J. Vandeman, Ph.D. mjvande@pacbell.net http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande January 10, 2003 The Animals Came Dancing , Howard Harrod surveyed Native American mythology regarding the relationship between animals and humans. It is usually asserted that native peoples and modern societies are worlds apart, and Harrod seems to take that view. Come on ! If we are really as similar to animals as we believe (and can now prove scientifically), then they must also be like us in not wanting to die! And in not wanting to donate their bodies to other organisms as food! Surely, people so close to nature as they should be able to see the raw fear in the animals' eyes, and translate their cries into an awareness of pain! we cannot justify it through any rational argument ! Our "instincts" (i.e., genes) impel us to eat, and therefore to kill, but every organism that we contemplate killing is a relative of ours (we are 98.6% genetically identical to a chimpanzee, but also some 30% identical to a fungus)! And besides, it has its own plans, desires, and goals for its life, none of which include being eaten by us! (I think that humans are, by far, the greatest rationalizers in the world!)

ORAU Diversity/EEO Council Celebrating National Native American Heritage Month Totem Test The Wow of Powwows A Quick History Lesson: Some Native American Tribes Take a Totem Test! 1. True or False? Totem poles were an important part of the Potlatch ceremony. True. Carved from mature cedar trees by the Native people of the Northwest Pacific coast, full-size totem poles are outgrowths of the region's aboriginal art forms. They were originally an important part of the Potlatch ceremony, a feast with deep meaning to coastal First Nations. Totem poles were once carved and raised to represent a family-clan, its kinship system, its dignity, and its accomplishments. A totem pole served, in essence, as the emblem of a family or clan and often as a reminder of its ancestry. 2. True or False? Totems were once worshiped. False. They are emblems, not icons, and have never been worshiped. 3. True or False? Totem poles are solemn and always very serious. False. Sometimes there are jokes woven into totem poles, such as figures "accidentally" carved upside down. Tricks are sometimes played on the pole's sponsor. If the person paying for the pole annoys the carvers too much, he might be portrayed on the pole a little too naked (!). A touch of carved-in amusement is part of the tradition. 4. True or False? Totem poles all use the same symbols.

Pow Wow Etiquette Maryland Events Links Search Guest Page I often receive requests from web travelers about other native American Indian pow wows and festivals in our home state of Maryland. There are plenty of web sites which maintain a calendar of pow wow events. The difficulty is that the job can be so overwhelming, since there is no central database, they must rely on organizers and participants to submit updated information. As a result, most listings are incomplete or outdated. By limiting this page to the small state of Maryland, I hope to stay as current as possible by using a 12-month rolling calendar. To facilitate accuracy, I use a link to the organizer's web site whenever possible, rather than reproducing information here. I personally verify all dates with the event organizers at the time of posting and personally compose the descriptions on this page.

118. Native American BEADS -- History, Cultural Values Since the passage of the 1990 native american Arts and Crafts Act Beads are a manyfaceted part of native history in a duplicate of one their daughter dances in http://www.kstrom.net/isk/art/beads/art_bead.html

H ISTORY, C ULTURAL V ALUES OF B EADS Page Buttons C hoctaw beadwork artist Marcus Amerman created as a beadwork magazine cover the entire portrait of 19th century Crow leader, Medicine Crow, magazine title lettering and all, for the Fall, 1992, issue of Native Peoples magazine. His beadwork portrait was photographed for the cover. Amerman has mastered shading with bands and areas of beads, and has essentially created a new art form. E veryone has seen Native American watchbands, cigarette lighter-holders, belts, purses and other small items. S ince the 1960's, this "modern" beadwork has been imitated in oriental factories and imported very cheaply. It competes with high-quality beadwork of native craftspeople. A U.S. General Accounting Office study done in the mid-80's indicated that native craftspeople have lost tens of millions of dollars in potential sales (over an 8-year period) to such fakes. Since the passage of the 1990 Native American Arts and Crafts Act, [18 USC Sec. 1159, 1993] it is a federal felony to offer imitations as the product of Indian craftspeople. B eads are a many-faceted part of native history in north America and Canada. The 6-strand turquoise necklace at the left was made by the Joe Garcia family, Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico, in 1984. It's a duplicate of one their daughter dances in. The beads are so carefully size-graduated there seems no break between them. Pink spondylus shell (whose use in ornament is very ancient and shows that there were trade routes from the Pacific all over North America) covers the ends of the strands. The necklace is similar to some that were made thousands of years ago.

Native American Indians Indians or Native Americans? Our Native American inhabitants were incorrectly called Indians by early European explorers who mistakenly believed that they had reached India. Unfortunately, the mistake persists to this day, and many people still refer to all Native Americans as Indians. Even some Native Americans call themselves Indians, but most of them prefer using their legitimate tribal names. To avoid offending, you should ask a Native American if he or she minds being called Indian. I am using the term here to avoid confusing our non-American readers, and I mean no offense to my Native American neighbors. The terms Native American and Indian are both misleading, as they suggest a homogeneous population. The original inhabitants of the United States at the time of the European invasion were composed of hundreds of different tribes. Many of the tribes did not share a common language or similar culture. In fact, some of the tribes were constantly at war with each other. Perhaps that is why many Native Americans today do not call themselves Indians or Native Americans, but prefer to say for example, "We are the Lakota people. Some call us the Sioux." Ceremonial Costume There are many diverse tribes When the first European explorers arrived in this land, Native American tribes populated every part of the continent. Early settlers found the Delawares, Iroquois, Seneca, Cayuga, Mohawk, Algonquin and other tribes in the northeastern part of the USA. They met Seminoles, Cherokees and Miccusuki in the south. The Spanish explorers in California encountered the Shoshone, Paiute, Cahuilla, and Mewuk and additional tribes. By the nineteenth century, the European invaders began to migrate westward and to push the Native American tribes off of their traditional homelands. This was the period of our shameful western Indian wars against the Apache, Sioux, Comanches and others. Superior numbers and advanced technology soon prevailed, and the few surviving natives were forcibly restricted to small areas known as Indian reservations.
