To tell a friend about his site, click here RESPONSIBLE USE OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN THEME From the YMCA of the USA Introduction and Background Today, approximately one-third of YMCAs offer Y-Indian Guide programs. Y staff and participants tell countless stories of how the program has strengthened the bond between parent and child and changed lives. For example, a father ousted from a camp-out for violating the no alcohol policy saw this event as a turning point; he sought help and returned to a camp-out a year later boasting months of sobriety. He credited Y=Indian Guides for motivating him to overcome his alcohol problems. While the Indian Guide program was designed to honor American Indian values and culture, some people have found the use of the theme inappropriate and offensive. After all, over the years, Native Americans have been the victims of stereotypes. This victimization has prompted them to become a more active voice and a stronger advocate for their rights and beliefs, and the need to counter any inaccurate portrayals. No Y-Indian Guide staff person, volunteer or participant intentionally sets out to mock or denigrate Native Americans and yet, due to a lack of understanding and guidance, some of these individuals have made mistakes. This paper raises the issues, defines appropriate and inappropriate use of the theme, and suggests tips to make Y-Indian Guide programs more sensitive and authentic to the Native American culture.

89. Native American Culture And American Society I think it s great to read books about native American culture, go tomuseums, buy products that teach us about native American values. http://www.djmcadam.com/ojibwe.html

Native American Culture and American Society By D. J. McAdam Attitudes in the Past The attitudes of American society at large have changed drastically toward Native Americans during my lifetime, but I have a feeling that most of us who are not Native Americans still haven't gotten it right. When I was a boy, Native Americans - "Indians" - were the one-dimensional bad guys in cowboy vs. Indian movies. The plot was as predictable as it was lame: Indians would commit some atrocity on the nice white folks helpfully trying to bring civilization to an untamed land; romantically-portrayed cowboys would go settle the score, making the world safe for cattle-ranching and winning the undying love and admiration of the local schoolmarm in the process. The few deviations from this story line (such as the Lone Ranger's Indian sidekick) were notable for straying from the script. Still, we all wanted to be Indians. They were cool, knew how to survive in the woods, knew how to tread silently through a forest, dressed in loincloths, lived in tepees and carried tomahawks. And they played tom-toms.

90. Native American Language And Literacy | Literacy And Language Team This valuable resource book offers teachers an opportunity to learn andto teach about native American literatures in context. Starting http://www.nwrel.org/lld/nativelit.html

@import "supercss.css"; Native American Language and Literacy We have brought together some highly recommended resources for teachers, students, families and community members who are looking for good literature on or by Native Americans. There is a vast body of such literature, but it is often not readily available in school or public libraries outside of areas with large Native American populations. We hope to help make this literature and the resources that promote it more widely known and available. On these pages, we offer links to some outstanding on-line bibliographies, such as Oyate, as well as reprinted material from collections and annotated bibliographies, such as Through Indian Eyes and Roots and Branches . Almost all titles found in these bibliographies offer guidelines on appropriate grade level, subject area, and interdisciplinary applications. In addition, we have culled titles from two of these bibliographies and organized them according to subject area. We offer these titles as a means to gain them a wider audience both among Native peoples who seek good literature that reflects their experiences and among non-Natives who seek to learn the diversity and complexity of Native history and contemporary life. Publications Bibliographies Publications A compilation of work by Native parents, educators, poets, and writers, is for anyone interested in presenting non-biased material about indigenous peoples to children. It contains, from a Native perspective, essays and poetry, critical reviews of more than 100 children's books by and about Indian peoples, a guide to evaluating children's books for anti-Indian bias, a recommended bibliography, and a resource section of Native publishers and organizations.

Team Spirits: The Native American Mascots Controversy. C. Richard King and Charles Fruehling Springwood, eds. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2001. 356 pp. J OSEPH J. M ARTIN University of Arizona Since their point of arrival in the "new world" Europeans, and later Americans, have been mesmerized by illusions instead of striving for a truer understanding of American Indian individuals and communities. Historically, Americans have attempted to assume absolute authority and control over definitions of American Indian identity. Americans conveniently characterize Native Americans as an extinct or vanishing race. If the perceived "truth" is that Indians do not exist or are vanishing, then it is safe to assume that Indians cannot speak for themselves, creating a false sense of a right to speak for, and define, American Indians. One of the battlegrounds for reclaiming and truthfully defining Indian identity has been the Native American mascots controversy. The false perception that Americans know and understand Indians led to the belief that American Indian mascots could be imagined and created for the sole purpose of appealing to mainstream, Euro-American perceptions of Indianness. Team Spirits: The Native American Mascots Controversy is an invaluable collection of essays that thoroughly examine the American legacy of Native American mascots.

March/April 2000 Afterword Voices for a New Dawn Sallie Cuaresma Throughout this issue of we have gently invited you to become better acquainted with a community of people with distinct and diverse cultures. As associate for Native American issues in the Presbyterian Church's Racial Ethnic Ministries, and as Co-Content Editor of this issue of the magazine, I find I cannot close the book without speaking another word on what some people discount as unimportant, that is, the stereotyping of my people of me . I write this in the first-person voice as a Native American (thus the "I"), and I write knowing that few readers of are Native American (thus the "you"). In these pages we have touched on sovereignty, cultural preservation, stories, and identity. Reading about the location of Native populations may help interested people to start seeing Native Americans, to start being in dialog with us in our shared communities, and to start being community . While our number is not overwhelming, our visibility may be limited because of our diversity we do not meet stereotypical images. Actions of well-meaning people deny human dignity. Over and over we are told "It's an honor!" by those who use logos, mascots, and other symbols of Native Americans. No, it is not. The use of these symbols and mascots is not respectful to Native American culture; we consider it to be sacrilegious. No other race of people in America is used for mascots or nicknames for sports teams. As activists protest and call for change, they are often met with taunts to "chill out, get real, get a life, go back where you came from." This misbehavior of sports fans includes gestures insulting to a people with diverse cultures, languages, and physical characteristics.

What is Needed for Endowment Who Will Occupy the Native American Chair? American Indian teachers, writers, artists and scholars who have gained national stature in their field will fill this rotating Chair for one to three year terms. This includes American Indians who may not have terminal academic credentials but are renowned leaders in their own fields such as Louise Erdrich, James Welch, Alma Snell, Earl Old Person, Dennis Sun Rhodes, Dr. James Shanley, Dr. Janine Pease-Pretty On Top, and Wilma Mankiller. In the fall of 2000, the first holder of a Chair in Native American Studies in the history of the U.S. will begin to lecture, perform research, and publish in Native American Studies at MSU-Bozeman. The president's office of Montana State University has committed to funding any unmet need of the Chair for a two year period as the univeristy completes the last fund raising efforts in the year 2001. MSU is committed to starting the new millennium with the Chair in NAS in place and providing intellectual stimulus and leadership. Native American Leaders' Support This is a long-term effort which has gained the support of such individuals as Native American tribal college President Janine Pease-Pretty On Top, writers James Welch and Louise Erdrich, architect Dennis Sun Rhodes, and Bill Yellowtail. The time has come for American Indians to tell their own history and stories.

Related Sites Resource Guide: Native American History November: American Indian Heritage Month As the first people to inhabit North America, American Indians have frequently been overlooked in America American Indian Heritage Month is a time for all Americans to recognize the accomplishments , hardships and triumphs of the Native American spirit. This monthlong celebration began in the early 1900’s as American Indian Day, in which many I Americans celebrated this day as a way of recognizing the Native American community. The man responsible for setting aside this day is Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca Indian, who was also the director of Museum of Arts and Science in Rochester, N .Y. Dr. Parker, in 1915, asked the Boy Scouts of America to designate such a day for Native Americans, and the Congress of American Indian Associations soon approved a nationwide day of recognition, the second Saturday of May, as American Indian Day. New York state soon followed suit by recognizing this day, and many other states designated other days to celebrate Native American culture. In 1990, President George Bush approved a joint resolution designating November as American Indian Heritage Month.
