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.

My mother had a kindness that embraced all life. This is the tradition of native women. Young people are the pioneers of new ways. Words to a Grandchild I have spoken.
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

Native American culture Perhaps no other group of people has quite the rich and storied culture as those of the Native Americans. They have a history rich in struggle, strife, and triumph. So many aspects of our modern life were adapted from the old Indian cultures practiced centuries ago. Many familiar symbols that we take for granted were originated by Native Americans. The teepee, totem pole, peace pipe, and moccasins are just a few examples, but each of these symbols were actually integral pieces of a larger picture that wove together the tapestry of Native American life. Everything from native plants and animals to housing to the weather became a part of the culture in Indian life. Totem poles were a very integral part of Native American culture.
