We, the American Indians (Census Bureau) The first American immigrants, beginning more than 20,000 years ago, were intercontinental wanderers: hunters and their families following animal herds from Asia to America, across a land bridge where the Bering Strait is today. When Spain's Christopher Columbus "discovered" the New World in 1492, about 1.5 million Native Americans lived in what is now the continental United States, although estimates of the number vary greatly. Mistaking the place where he landed San Salvador in the Bahamas for the Indies, Columbus called the Native Americans "Indians."

From the maps below, you can determine if your area of interest should be further explored. Wind resource at a micro level can vary significantly; therefore, you should get a professional evaluation of your specific area of interest. Your regional Department of Energy Support Office will have contact information of local wind resource analysts. This map illustrates which states have newly-completed wind resource maps and which states have maps that are planned or are in progress.

Wind Energy Finance Calculator Clean Power Estimator Economic Development Benefits of Wind Power PDF 281 KB Download Acrobat Reader Wind Power Update PDF 1.4 MB Download Acrobat Reader There are more than 700 American Indian tribes and Native Alaskan villages and corporations located on 96 million acres in the United States. Many of these tribes and villages have excellent wind resources that could be commercially developed to meet their electricity needs or for electricity export. Changing national utility policy, a keen interest in economic development, environmental concerns, and availability of low-cost financing have kindled a strong interest in tribal wind development opportunities. However, several key issues need to be addressed, including lack of wind resource data, tribal utility policies, sovereignty, perceived developer risk, limited loads, investment capital, technical expertise, and especially transmission to markets. DOE's Wind Energy Program helps tribes by providing anemometers to measure wind resources, conducting workshops, and providing technical assistance to tribes on the wind development process and options, supporting pilot projects that demonstrate innovative reservation applications, and promoting the development of the green tags concept to green federal facilities.

    http://www.tolatsga.org/Compacts.html

    Over the past 500 years, the US government has negotiated literally hundreds of treaties and agreements with Native Americans. Some have to do with granting certain Native American nations sovereignty (the ability to have their own governance even though they are inside U.S. boundaries), some have to do with establishing Native American lands, some have to do with reparations (money the U.S. government gives to Native Americans in order to help “repay” them for the damage done to them by white settlers), etc. Of the hundreds of established treaties, nearly all of them have been broken or changed by the U.S. government. To learn more about some of these treaties, you can link to this website: http://digital.library.okstate.edu/kappler/ One of the greatest fallacies is that of the “Indian Giver,” a stereotype which makes it seem as though Native Americans are untrustworthy because they give things and then take them back. Given the long history of U.S. federal treaty policy toward Native Americans, it seems clear that the government has actually been the untrustworthy actor in this relationship and that this stereotype is unfair and inaccurate. (As are most stereotypes!)
    Native American culture has had a large influence on the greater culture of our society. Many of the agricultural and pharmacological practices that we still use are borrowed from Native American society. Even our political system is partially based on those first created by Native Americans, as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson both studied native democratic political governance before authoring the founding documents of American history. Much of the modern environmental movement, a social movement aimed at protecting our earth and environment, stems from Native American beliefs and practices as well. In fact, there is far too much of Native American culture that has become integrated in American society for us to even begin to cover. Check out the many links that we have provided for this purpose.

    Many Migwetches to Jonathan, who prefers that his last name not be used. This person, who is of Grand Portage Ojibwe heritage, had lost touch with his ancestral origins. He found some relevant info on this site, about Grand Portage and other Minnesota Ojibwe tribes and history that helped him and his kids get in touch with their Indian roots. He saw the problems I'd been having since the fire with hardware to replace not covered by insurance. So this man donated a 32 meg SIMM!!!! (computer memory). T hat's a really helpful kind of giveaway, an Indian tradition. As an individual, I cannot receive any funding. So I support this site (and the book reviews site) as best I can personally. Usually the only real heavy expense is phone. But losing a lot of equipment and software that has to be replaced is very hard. Help like this is really appreciated. It is so unusual I hardly know what to say except migwetch in every language, of which "Pidamaya!" "Thank-you!", "Merci beaucoup!" and "Dankeshoen" exhausts my linguistic knowledge. I was very happy to learn that materials gathered here either created locally or linked-to can help people to learn about their lost tribal heritage, and to find tribal contacts. Often I wonder if it is really of any use to anybody.

But he was heroic in doing that." Listen to the Legend of the White Buffalo Where Will Our Children Live...

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.

Several groups of Indians often shared the same CULTURE. A culture is the way of life of a group of people. Every group of people, including yours, has a culture. The language you speak, the clothes you wear, the food you eat, and the religion you believe in are all part of your culture. Indian groups that shared the same culture had the same way of finding food and building houses. They depended on the same natural resources and used them in the same way. For example, the Plains Indians shared the same land, dressed the same way, spoke the same language, hunted for food, and practiced religion in the same way. That is why they are considered to be their own culture group.

    The Indians of Texas
    For millennia, various tribes of native Americans occupied the region that is now Texas. They were as diverse in culture as the geography of Texas itself. The following is a very brief overview of the major tribes that existed at the time of the first European exploration:
    • The Caddos in east and northeast Texas were perhaps the most culturally developed. They were successful agriculturists who lived in permanent abodes. It was a group within this tribe that the early Spanish authorities called the Tejas, which is said to be the tribes's word for friend. From this origin, the name evolved to become the name for Mexican province, then the republic, and now the state.
    • The Karankawas ranged along the Gulf coast between present Galveston and Corpus Christi. They were loosly organized in a very primitive culture, and lived mostly fishermen.
    • The Coahuiltecan occupied the region along the lower Rio Grand. Members of this tribe eked out a sparse existance of nourished mainly by roots, herbs, and prickly pear cactus. Because of their location remote from the main settlements of early Texas, they had little contact with the Texans.
    • The Lipan, or Lipan-Apache, were among the more important subgroups of Apaches in Texas. They ranged the furthest eastward and had the most contact with the early Texas settlements. The Lipans fought the Texans, but on many occasions in the nineteenth century became allies of the Texans in campaigns against other Indians.
