Native American Pride

Anonymous asked: i've heard of another blackfoot tribe that was unofficial. i heard they were mixed with cherokee and choctaw and some tribal members with that + african blood mixed in. what do you know about this information? I answered a question sort of similar to this here . And I know that there is a Cherokee-Blackfeet community that isn’t recognized in the state of New York.

The tribal traditions of the Native American Rain Dance

When reading about the history of our country and in particular, the Native Americans many people have heard of a ceremonial tradition that is known as the Native American rain dance. The Native American rain dance was the most common among the Native American tribes in the southwest of America, since during the summers there they would have long droughts. The droughts could bring serious problems for the natives since having some rain was essential for their survival and their food crops.

Hey Everyone, I don't get over here to pearltrees as often as I wish I could. Busy life and all. When I've come around lately, I've found things have changed. If you're trying to join the team and I have not clicked you, my apologies! I've been clicking around in here this morning, trying to figure out how things work now. I hope I did it right. ~Best Regards; HG by hippiegal Mar 11

I like the term "The People" very much. by hippiegal Nov 23

Sometimes I use the terms American Indians and Asian Indians. But originally, they called themselves "The People". Somehow, that term, The People, gives them the honor they deserve.
I usually use the name of the tribe when talking about some specific group in an area. Like, Mikosukee or Seminole here in Florida. by marekalexi Nov 23

What if we use the names of the tribes? by terotoivanen Nov 23

I think 'Indians' and 'Indies' today are acceped as separate terms, and the difference is clear, no meter of that mistake in the past.
Personaly, I like term 'Indians'. Thise 'Native American' sounds somehow too general...it does not carry some mark of authentic culture or civilization which Indians for surely were.
Is there other term which Indians use for themselfs as we odhers use 'Indians'? by gluvarche Nov 23

Being from the South, we still often use the term "Indians". What I've been told is that when the boats landed on what is now called American Soil, they thought they were in India. Therefore they started calling the Native people "Indians". Of course, this was wrong but it stuck. Now, in the days of Political Correctness, the word Indian is no longer acceptable and has been replaced by Native Americans.
My great grandmother was 100% "Indian" or Native; and the term has never bothered me. But I'm not full blood Native so not sure if it is considered an insult nowdays. by hippiegal Nov 23

Why term 'Indians' is not used at all? by gluvarche Nov 23
