Tribes Clothing Craft Projects FamousPeople Legends Recipes Songs, Dances, Games Creation stories teach that Native Americans have been where they are since the world was created. It is also thought that First Americans migrated from Siberia over the Bering Strait about 14,000 years ago, or perhaps even earlier. The land bridge was dry ground for several thousand years before the sea level rose again and stopped migration. The hunters would have followed the migrating herds of large mammals as they moved south. As the glaciers melted, the First Americans spread to the North American coasts and across the entire continent. Native Americans adapted to the climates and terrains in which they lived and used whatever natural resources were available. The arrival of the Europeans in the 1500's began a change in the lives of the Indian people that continued through the next centuries. Sometimes the changes were good. The horses brought by the Spanish made bison hunting much easier and safer. But Vikings, Spanish, English and French explorers, colonists and missionaries spread diseases, made slaves of the people, forced relocations, claimed ownership of natural resources and land, and tried to stamp out the native cultures. Some of the Indian people survived, but not without making drastic changes in their life styles.

27. Zuni And Hopi Native Americans Kachinas of the hopi and Zuni native american tribes of the Kachina, or katsina,is a Southwestern Pueblo Indian word meaning spirit father or life. http://mn.essortment.com/hopizunikachin_rjpe.htm

Zuni and Hopi Native Americans Kachinas of the Hopi and Zuni native american tribes of the Southwest function as protective spirits of nature who bring people rain and good fortune. Kachina, or katsina, is a Southwestern Pueblo Indian word meaning spirit father or life. Kachinas represent the spirit of the gods who personify nature: clouds, sky, storms, trees, etc. They function as protective supernatural beings who can help humans if they are asked properly. They also represent the spirits of good people who die and become clouds, bringing much-needed rain. They serve as entertainers and discipliners of children. Kachinas look after the interests of humans, serve as intermediaries to the gods, and can bestow good fortune, such as fertility, power, and long life. The Hopis possess the largest number of kachinas, which can number in the hundreds at any one time, and are constantly changing. If a specific kachina doesn't perform the job it is requested to do, it is abandoned and a new kachina is added to the pantheon. About thirty "mong" or chief kachinas perform specific annual ceremonies, including Sotuqnang-u, the god of the sky; Masao, the god of the earth, Kwanitaqa, the one-horned god and guardian of the Underworld; and Alosaka, the two-horned god of reproduction. There are also clown, racerunner, parade, and numerous dance kachinas. bodyOffer(31084) Kachinas visit Hopi villages every year beginning in February after descending from their home on top of the San Francisco Mountains near Flagstaff, Arizona. The Powamu, or Bean Dance Ceremony, is designed to ask for plenty of water, good weather, abundant crops, and peaceful, prosperous lives; the Kachina Spirits serve as intermediaries to the Creator. The kachinas remain in the villages until July, after the Ninman or Going Home Ceremony.

34. Sasquatch And Native Americans Bigfoot much in the same way the hopi do, as of Bigfoot is taken for granted throughoutNative North America of times that I have heard elder Indian people say http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bz050/HomePage.bfna.html

Credit: Henry Franzoni I met Gayle Highpine, a Kootenai Indian, at a monthly meeting of the Western Bigfoot Society. She had published the following paper in a very early Track Record, and gave me permission to reprint it here on the conference. Gayle has traveled extensively among the various reservations and enclaves of North American Indians for the last 30 years. She was a member of A.I.M., the American Indian Movement, during the '70s. A female Indian who was always interested in the old ways, she was and is very interested in learning more about Sasquatch, and she has listened attentively to many medicine men's Sasquatch stories as she traveled from reservation to reservation. I think her paper gives a good basic survey of Native American thought on the subject, and I find her obervation of the apparent division between "Flesh and Blood", thinkers and "Spiritual/Mystical" thinkers highly enlightening. P.S. The Kootenai tribe's home basically is southeast British Columbia. Attitudes Toward Bigfoot in Many North American Cultures By Gayle Highpine "But, special being as he is, I have never heard anyone from a Northwestern tribe suggest that Bigfoot is anything other than a physical being, living in the same physical dimensions as humans and other animals. He eats, he sleeps, he poops, he cares for his family members. However, among many Indians elsewhere in North America... as widely separated at the Hopi, the Sioux, the Iroquois, and the Northern Athabascan Bigfoot is seen more as a sort of supernatural or spirit being, whose appearance to humans is always meant to convey some kind of message."

40. Indian Jewelry Collection At Indian Summer Native American Art Most hopi Indian jewelry is void of any stones since the concentration is on thevery All of our Indian\ jewelry is handmade by native americans using only http://www.indiansummer.com/jewelry.htm

Indian Summer Jewelry Established 1996 ~ The original and still the best! Click on any photo for a larger image photos are located above descriptions W e have a tasteful selection of Indian jewelry for you to choose from. Each item is a hand made one of a kind piece. If we ever feature items that look similar, being handmade, there will always be slight differences. No two items are ever identical. Currently, we offer only Indian jewelry which does not require trying on to know if it fits. We don't want anyone disappointed with a bracelet or ring that is too small or too large. Our necklaces should work well for anyone. Each necklace shown will have length printed next to it. We also carry belt buckles, earrings, and bolos. All of our work is set in sterling silver. Each tribe has their own style or technique that is traditional, however, today as with every craft, they all tend to borrow ideas and designs from each other! N avajo work is usually bold in design. The Navajo silversmith tends to pick a stone and build around it. Some will do a simple sterling braid, while others will do elaborate feathers, leaves, flowers, scrolls, etc. The Navajo do some inlay work, however, most pieces tend to concentrate on a single or several high quality stones along with the silver work. Z uni Pueblo work is obtained by us from the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. The Zuni people are known for their delicate, intricate work with stones. They spend hours cutting down stones into small needlepoint and "petit point" shapes as well as doing intricate inlay and channel inlay work. The inlay work is rather like a mosaic where all pieces have been cut to fit together and form a pattern or design. The Zuni are also well known for their hand carved "fetish" necklaces. These are necklaces containing spiritual animals such as bears, turtles, wolves, foxes, etc. which are believed to have the power to bring you strength, heal, and generally guide you to a better life when the fetishes are properly cared for.
