A Native American Prayer. NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN (HOPI) PROPHECIES. Talk Given by Lee Brown, 1986 Continental Indigenous Council, Tanana Valley Fairgrounds, Fairbanks, Alaska There was the cycle of the mineral, the rock. There was the cycle of the plant. And now we re in the cycle of the animal coming to the end of that and beginning the cycle of the human being. When we get into the cycle of the human being, the highest and greatest powers that we have will be released to us. At the beginning of this cycle of time, long ago, the Great Spirit came down and He made an appearance and He gathered the peoples of this earth together they say on an island which is now beneath the water and He said to the human beings, "I'm going to send you to four directions and over time I'm going to change you to four colors, but I'm going to give you some teachings and you will call these the Original Teachings and when you come back together with each other you will share these so that you can live and have peace on earth, and a great civilization will come about.

NativeLore: Seek Your Father. Two legends, related by Esquire Johnson, an old Seneca Chief. He described the origin of the twins Good and Evil, and said the Sun was made by the Good-minded twin out of the face of his dead mother, the first earth-woman, who was the daughter of the Sky-woman. Another version of this Seneca legend, dated 1876, tells practically the same story, but names the Sky-woman as having borne first a daughter, who, without any knowledge of a man, became that earth-mother of the twins Good and Evil. That daughter died giving birth to the twins, and she was buried by her mother, the Sky-woman.
Sky-woman said to her grandson the good-mined-spirit, "Now you must go and seek your father. When you find him, you must ask him to give you power. " She pointed to the East and said to him, "He lives in that direction. "Your father is the Sun, and through you, he is also the father of mankind, because of your earthly origin from my daughter. " Stonee's Buffalo Part II. Buffalo, the Life and Spirit of the American Indian's The buffalo meant a lot of different things to most of America's Native People's. They were food and clothing, tools and utinsels, and most of all a Spirit Being blessing the peoples with everything they needed to survive.
Here on this page I will try to give you understanding on just how important the buffalo were to our Native Americans, first with my dilog and then with links to other pages on buffalo inculding place's to buy meat, robes, and other things of the buffalo. Understandably, then a major part of Indian life was oriented in and around the buffalo herds. They moved with them during all but the winter months. There are several matters of magnitude to be considered about the Indians and the buffalo: First, there is the matter of the buffalo's place in the sphere of Indian religion. Third, as one ponders the uses made of the bison, he inevitably wants to know how the Indians themselves were able to make so much of it.

I am Chief Spirit Shadow of the The Three Spirit Clan of Free Cherokee. I have not always been known by that name. I was born and raised in the hills of southeast Ohio in the land of the beautiful river. My ancestors crossed that river into this part of the state of Ohio. Like many migrating Cherokee, they took on white names that represented the four directions or some other common term - last names like North, South and Newman. From certain people in my family, I learned about my native heritage and about living off the land as native people have done for millennia.
Like the Cherokee of the 19th century, these people assimilated into society as it existed in the early settlement days. Even as a child I knew there was something different about me. I was raised in white society and in a Christian religion. We eventually became part of a Native American clan nearby and for years participated in ceremony. Our clan is like an extended family. We have welcomed many into our clan. Welcome to Indigenous Peoples Literature. Native American Wisdom & Beauty.

Native Americans today who excel at NASA and in the arts have made their achievements against great odds, but remain modest.
Some carry on ancient traditions but also hold high positions at NASA. Many work to preserve their Native languages in grass roots communities. Native American people have also invented lunar modules and have received medals for their work that brought Apollo 13 back from its aborted space mission. They win Academy Awards, and make you laugh in comedy clubs, and enchant you as artists and actors and writers and athletes, and still do hundreds of cool things that now you too can finally study in school.

What is The Red Road? To walk the Red Road is to know sacrifice, suffering. Who Will Sing My Name. When I see the eagle no more, Will you call my name? When the end of my path is reached, Will you sing my name in prayer? The Old Ones fade and are no more, And no one calls their names. Our People vanish and come to ashes, And no one sings the prayers. We were once strong and many, I call the names of those before. Those who remain have no knowing, For them I sing my prayer. But when I am gone, who follows me, Who will call my name? When I have given up my breath, Who will sing my name in prayer? Author Unknown. Chief Dan George, My Heart Soars. His essay comes to join others on Oliveleaf about indigenous peoples , on all our Continents, who have a wisdom and a legitimacy we, as culturally-displaced conquerors, have to deny. And that denial becomes their illness and our own. Ethnic abuse, ethnic perpetration. We invite more such essays. Barbara Stanton, an Alaskan Godfriend, back in 2001, sent this book to us for the Biblioteca Fioretta Mazzei , and that very day a Canadian couple visited the cemetery and the library who had actually known and worked with Chief Dan George, a quarter of a century ago.
This book was published by Saanichton, British Columbia: Hancock House Publishers, 1979. It deserves re-publication, and to be in every school library.
