Canku Ota (Many Paths) An Online Newsletter Celebrating Native America December 2, 2000 - Issue 24 Native Americans Teach Students About Ways of Life By Chris Bender Gazette staff writer photos of actual Catawba pottery A Catawba Native American couple visited fourth and fifth grade art classes at Coosa Elementary this week to teach them about the ancient craft of pottery. The couple came as part of the Artists in Residence program, which is funded by the state and allows schools to bring in artists to teach classes. Coosa art teacher Donna Sams said having the artists this week was a good tie-in, because November is also Native American History month. The students made pottery using the same methods the Catawba Indians did thousands of years ago. The Catawbas were a tribe that inhabited the Southeastern United States. Now they live on a reservation near Rock Hill, still making hand-crafted pottery the way their ancestors did. "Pottery has been the primary livelihood of the Catawba tribe," said Warren Sanders, one of the artists. "It's what the Catawba used to trade with other people." Cheryl Harris Sanders said the students used the pinch method to create the pots.

Streaming video presentations: "Truth and Lies" and "Honor and Pain" Appropriate Methods When Teaching About Native American Peoples: indicates link to related site Understand the term "Native American" includes all peoples indigenous to the Western Hemisphere. Present Native American Peoples as appropriate role models to children. Native American students should not be singled out and asked to describe their families' traditions or their peoples' culture(s). Avoid the assumption there are no Native American students in your class. Use books and materials which are written and illustrated by Native American people as primary source materials: speeches, songs, poems, and writings, which show the linguistic skill of a people who have come from an oral tradition. When teaching ABC's, avoid "I is for Indian" and "E is for Eskimo." Avoid rhymes or songs that use Native Americans as counting devices, i.e. "One little, two little, three little..." Research the traditions and histories, oral and written, of Native Americans before attempting to teach these.

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.

Not long ago I was working with children in a school on the east coast and told them I had just come from working with Indian children in North Dakota. They were sure I was telling another story since, they said, "There aren't any more Indians. We killed them all." Hard to believe such things in today's world of television and world wide communication, but I'm sure these children were not unique in their ignorance. Many studies of Indians leave students convinced that all Indians lived in tepees then and still do or that they were all wiped out, not that our ancestors didn't try.

Native Americans on the Oregon Trail Relationships The first section of the Oregon Trail bisected two major Native American tribesthe Cheyenne to the north and the Pawnee to the south. The emigrants worried about both. But the expected attacks did not come. In fact, there were many instances of Native American kindnesshelping pull out stuck wagons; rescuing drowning emigrants; even rounding up lost cattle Most of the encounters with Native Americans were simple business transactions. The emigrants offered clothes, tobacco or rifles, in exchange for Native American horses or food. Within a few years, the emigrants had overgrazed the prairie grasses, burned all the available firewood, and depleted the buffalo . Soon many tribes along the Platte were impoverished. The emigrants worried a great deal about possible Native American attacks, but very few were ever actually killed by the native tribes.

What Not to Teach About Native Americans June Sark Heinrich recently directed an alternative school for Native American children in Chicago. Through her experiences she revealed many inadequacies in the way teachers present the history and heritage of the Native American people. As a result, she offers the following ideas to assist elementary school teachers in correcting the most common errors made in presenting Native American subject matter: Don't use alphabet cards that say A is for apple, B is for ball, and I is for Indian. This idea may seem small and trivial, but if you want your students to develop respect for Native Americans, don't start them out equating Indians with things like apples and balls. Don't talk about Indians as though they belong in the past. The fact is that about 800,000 Native Americans live in the United States, many on reservations and many in cities and towns. Don't talk about "them" and "us". Doing this reflects extreme insensitivity, as well as a misconception of historical facts. Actually, "they" are more truly "us" than anyone else.

Some Teaching Ideas About How to Positively Present the Native American People Teaching students about Native Americans will be a task that will require a little bit of work on our part. We will have to go out and do some research, and come up with some authentic lessons and activities, rather than relying on materials that are already out there. It is probably recommened NOT to use most of those commercially prepared teaching materials that are currently out there, because several present a very generalized image of Native American people totally disregarding any individuality. During our research we stumbled upon some wonderful ideas relating to how to correctly teach young children about Native Americans in an article titled, "Teaching Young Children about Native Americans" by Debbie Reese (ERIC DIGEST, 1996). Here are some of the suggestions that she made: Make sure to provide present-day knowledge about Native Americans to balace the historical information. If you teach from only a historical point of view the children may come up with the idea that they only existed in the past.

11. Native American Children And Home School These people would surely be amazed at how these native americans take theirchildren into the woods and teach them to respect the environment. http://nj.essortment.com/nativeamerican_rlhh.htm

Native American children and home school There are a lot of Native American children being home schooled this year. Discover some reasons behind this occurrence. Over the month of September millions of children returned to school. Yet, there were also a lot of children who stayed home instead. This is thanks to a growing movement among American Indian parents to home school their children. Do not fear! These children will still grow to become articulate, mature, and very well educated adults. For this reason, many people fully support the effort that is being made by home schooling parents. In fact many people even believe that home schooling does a better job than the tradition school system does when it comes to teaching children how to be both creative and independent. According to the Native American Home School Association (NAHSA) in Virginia, home schooling is becoming quite popular with Native American households because modern life is breaking down family ties. This started quite some time ago when the United States government started placing Native Americans on reservations in an attempt to break up tribal communities. At the same time, the government also began sending these children off to Christian boarding schools wherein abuse ran rampant. For this reason, Native families are now feeling empowered by the ability to home school their children since the curriculum will not interfere with their values and culture. bodyOffer(32231) Many Native Americans feel strongly about this since they are able to remember how embarrassed they were, as children, to admit that they were Native American because of what they were being taught in history classes. Unfortunately, these classes were teaching them that they were savage Indians. This caused a real sense of shame in many of these children, even though their families took great pride in their culture. It was just that since these history classes were teaching them that they were savages, they really did not want anyone to know that they were Native American which is a shame.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" A L L A M E R I C A N S T O R Y (In the Immigrant Style) When people first reached the deserts of America's southwest they were hungry! As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but dry, barren land punctuated with a few plants covered in thorns or sharp spines. Sometimes people would see long-eared jackrabbits, but even the tiniest hare knew how to run fast and hide away in the desert, so for a long time, people just looked at all that land and wondered how they could ever live in a desert! America's first "fast food" was the answer. When someone with an handful of seeds sits very still, as soon as a ground squirrel smells the seeds it will run up to get them. Sometimes, a very hungry squirrel will run right up your leg to get those seeds, but the squirrel's razor-sharp claws usually cause an instant reaction which scares the squirrel away. But Native Americans were hungry, so they caught the little squirrels, tossed them on the fire until the fur singed off, then popped the juicy meat into their mouths and chewed away with grateful sighs of: Ground squirrels are often mistaken for prairie dogs, so some people think ground squirrels were really the very first great American "hot" dog!

In fact, Native Peoples inhabited the continent tens of thousands of years before the arrival of settlers from Europe and the Far East. By the 16th century, the Native Peoples of North America had evolved into widely different cultures. Notable tribes around the Great Lakes included people we now call the Chippewa, Fox, Huron, Iroquois, Ottawa, Potawatomi and Sioux. Click for larger map! Approximately 120 bands of Native Peoples have occupied the Great Lakes basin over the course of history. In the United States, Native Peoples are also referred to as American Indians or Native Americans. In Canada, tribes are called First Nations. In the Ontario region alone, more than 75 bands of First Nations are reported. A band is based on kinship and family affiliation. A nuclear family is part of a clan (cousins), a clan is part of a band (aunts, uncles, extended cousins), and a collection of bands make up a tribe. Tribes are traditionally highly organized, politically autonomous groups.

Native American Languages Act of 1990 P.L. 101-477 (October 30, 1990) This federal policy statement recognizing the language rights of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders was quietly enacted in the waning hours of the 101st Congress. Sponsored by Senator Daniel Inouye, Democrat of Hawaii, the bill passed on a voice vote in both House and Senate without hearings or any vocal opposition. It authorizes no new programs for Native Americans, nor additional funding for existing ones, but is expected to facilitate efforts to preserve indigenous languages. SHORT TITLE SEC. 101. This title may be cited as the "Native American Languages Act." FINDINGS SEC. 102. The Congress finds that— (1) the status of the cultures and languages of Native Americans is unique and the United States has the responsibility to act together with Native Americans to ensure the survival of these unique cultures and languages; (2) special status is accorded Native Americans in the United States, a status that recognizes distinct cultural and political rights, including the right to continue separate identities; (3) the traditional languages of Native Americans are an integral part of their cultures and identities and form the basic medium for the transmission, and thus survival, of Native American cultures, literatures, histories, religions, political institutions, and values;
