Osiyo, ("Osiyo" is a Cherokee greeting. It means "hello," a good hello. The kind of hello that says things are going well with me, with you, and with others). Great Spirit Guide Us Grandfather, Great Spirit you have been always, And before you nothing has been. There is no one to pray to but you. The star nations all over the heavens are yours, And yours are the grasses of the earth. Grandfather, Great Spirit, fill us with the light. Teach us to walk the soft earth as relatives to all that live. Help us, for without you we are nothing. - Black Elk Language of Native American Baskets from the Weaver's View (Smithsonian) http://www.nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/baskets/ "Baskets accompanied Indian people throughout their lives. Babies were carried in baskets, meals were prepared and cooked in them, worldly goods were stored in them, and people were buried in them. Today, baskets serve as markers of cultural pride and inheritance. Basketry is a living art. To help illustrate continuity from past to present, each weaver chose four baskets from the Smithsonian collections and paired them with baskets from their own or other Native basket-makers’ contemporary works. These juxtapositions and the weavers’ thoughts on what they tell us, are presented in “The Weavers’ View.” Links on the top navigation bar and side navigation bars lead to a wealth of information and lots of images of baskets. From the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian."

CensusDiggins.com Native American Ancestry Native American Ancestry Just about every family has a story about a ggggrandma or gggrandpa who was a full blooded Choctaw, Cherokee, Apache or some other tribe of American Indian. Is there any truth in it? In many cases, yes. In some, it is a romantic tale. I have found that tracing this heritage is most difficult at best. It is a terrible shame, that so many of our Native American ancestors had to hide their heritage to survive. After the trail of tears, they had much to lose by admitting the truth of their forebears..... so for many, the stories and heritage was taboo, never to be spoken of. In this fashion, the records became scarce and thus, that much more difficult for genealogists to follow the footsteps of these proud peoples. I have attempted to round up some links to sites and articles on the subject to help those of you who are searching for your Native American ancestry and heritage.

In this month's issue... Pueblos and Reservations Acoma Pueblo Isleta Pueblo ... Zuni Pueblo Native Americans Pueblo Cultural Center, Albuquerque Nearly everything about New Mexico's diverse Native American people is legendary, from their distinct lifestyles and traditions to their beliefs and architecture to their arts and food. In fact, there isn't one corner of the state that isn't influenced by Native American history and culture. Indian cultural traditions permeate many aspects of contemporary life in the state. Perhaps the most obvious is the architectural style of the typical pueblo village, which is routinely imitated statewide and often combined with other historic and contemporary building styles. The mystique of New Mexico's various tribes is powerful. Their unique dialects, colorful dances, unparalleled arts and crafts, and cultural stories and traditions handed down through scores of generations are like that of no other human group on the planet. Archaeologists believe this distinct blend of Native Americana began evolving from 12,000 to 30,000 years ago, when many bands of prehistoric Indians wandered throughout New Mexico, some possibly from across the Bering Strait. Some of these nomads developed into farmers and began this region's first agrarian communities, whose fruits and labors still thrive today on many of New Mexico's farmlands. The descendants of these early people belong to as many as 22 distinct pueblos and tribes, each of which maintains separate, sovereign governments and makes it a high priority to preserve ancient traditions and language.

Native American Herbal Remedies Asthma Skunk Cabbage. Used by the Winnebago and Dakota tribes to stimulate the removal of phlegm in asthma. The rootstock was official in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia from 1820 to 1882 when it was used in respiratory and nervous disorders and in rheumatism and dropsy. Mullein. Introduced by Europeans. The Menominees smoked the pulverized, dried root for respiratory complaints while the Forest Potawatomis, the Mohegans, and the Penobscots smoked the dried leaves to relieve asthma. The Catawba Indians used a sweetened syrup from the boiled root, which they gave to their children for coughs. Backache Arnica. The Catawba Indians used a tea of arnica roots for treating back pains. The Dispensary of the United States (22nd edition) states this drug can be dangerous if taken internally and that it has caused severe and even fatal poisoning. Also used as a wash to treat sprains and bruises. Gentian. The Catawba Indians steeped the roots in hot water and applied the hot fluid on aching backs. Horsemint.

Related resources: American Indian Medal of Honor Winners Navajo Code Talkers in World War II: A Bibliography Navajo Code Talker Dictionary Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima: the Navajo code talkers took part in every assault the U.S. Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native language a code that the Japanese never broke. The idea to use Navajo for secure communications came from Philip Johnston, the son of a missionary to the Navajos and one of the few non-Navajos who spoke their language fluently. Johnston, reared on the Navajo reservation, was a World War I veteran who knew of the military's search for a code that would withstand all attempts to decipher it. He also knew that Native American languagesnotably Choctawhad been used in World War I to encode messages. Johnston believed Navajo answered the military requirement for an undecipherable code because Navajo is an unwritten language of extreme complexity. Its syntax and tonal qualities, not to mention dialects, make it unintelligible to anyone without extensive exposure and training. It has no alphabet or symbols, and is spoken only on the Navajo lands of the American Southwest. One estimate indicates that less than 30 non-Navajos, none of them Japanese, could understand the language at the outbreak of World War II.

The Navajo Nation. Since the Long Walk in the 1860's, the Navajo Nation decimated to a population of only 8,000. It has increased to a stronghold of more than 210,000. About 60 percent of Navajos are 24 years old or younger. In its infancy, the Navajo Nation governed itself by a complex language and clan system. The discovery of oil in the early 1920's clarified the need for a more systematic form of government. So, in 1923, the Navajos established a tribal government; thus providing an entity to deal with American oil companies wishing to lease Navajoland for exploration. A Navajo elder, Thelma Nez , in traditional dress is preparing to tend to her daily livestock chores. Today, the Navajo Nation Council has grown into the largest and most sophisticated American Indian government in the U.S.
