What Did The Natives Ever Do For Us? 2010 Note Jack Weatherford has another book that tells the story of a man and a people that have been treated unfairly by history Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World http://www.challengingdestiny.com/editorials/editorial9.htm
Extractions: Editorials editorial by David M. Switzer 2010 Note: Jack Weatherford has another book that tells the story of a man and a people that have been treated unfairly by history: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World . In the words of the publisher, "Genghis Khan was a visionary leader whose conquests joined backward Europe with the flourishing cultures of Asia to trigger a global awakening, an unprecedented explosion of technologies, trade, and ideas." In Orson Scott Card's novel Pastwatch he asks the question: If you could change the past, what should you change if anything? Here's an alternate-reality scenario for you: What would have happened if the Native Americans had given deadly diseases to the Europeans instead of vice versa? You probably know that, in addition to being killed in wars, the Natives in the New World were killed by diseases that were brought over by the Europeans. You probably know that Natives generally acted in a very friendly manner towards the newcomers, at least until they realized what the Europeans intended to do to them and the land they had taken care of for millennia. You probably know that Natives acted as guides when the Europeans were exploring the New World. You probably know that corn, otherwise known as maize, was a Native crop. If you're in Canada, you've probably seen the TV commercial that informs you that the name for our country comes from a Native word for village. But did you know that English contains about 2200 words taken directly from Native languages? Did you know that the Natives gave the early colonists food, and also taught them how to hunt and what crops to grow?

A guide to causes of this as well as methods to help these kids. Sponsored Links Over the month of September millions of children returned to school. Yet, there were also a lot of children who stayed home instead. This is thanks to a growing movement among American Indian parents to home school their children. Do not fear! These children will still grow to become articulate, mature, and very well educated adults. For this reason, many people fully support the effort that is being made by home schooling parents. In fact many people even believe that home schooling does a better job than the tradition school system does when it comes to teaching children how to be both creative and independent. According to the Native American Home School Association (NAHSA) in Virginia, home schooling is becoming quite popular with Native American households because modern life is breaking down family ties. This started quite some time ago when the United States government started placing Native Americans on reservations in an attempt to break up tribal communities. At the same time, the government also began sending these children off to Christian boarding schools wherein abuse ran rampant. For this reason, Native families are now feeling empowered by the ability to home school their children since the curriculum will not interfere with their values and culture.

Teaching About Native American Religions Teaching Native American Religions The following is a series of discussions concerning the teaching of Indian religions outside of their own cultural context. http://puffin.creighton.edu/lakota/teaching.html
Extractions: The following is a series of discussions concerning the teaching of Indian religions outside of their own cultural context. Ron Grimes has also published an article on this topic in The American Indian Quarterly , Volume 20, Number 3 (1996), pages 433-450. The title of the article is: This May Be a Feud, But It Is Not a War: An Electronic, Interdisciplinary Dialogue on Teaching Native Religions From: Ron Grimes, U Colorado Boulder (at the time) I am submitting this query simultaneously to two electronic discussion groupsone on religious studies, the other on Native American issuesto invite reflection on three questions: 1. Should or should not European Americans be teaching courses on Native American religions? 2. If we should not, why not, and what would be the results of our deferral? 3. If we should, how best can we proceed? I am giving much thought these days to the question of cultural imperialism, especially in two of its forms, namely, religious and academic imperialism. While on leave, I have been asked by the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, to teach a very large, publicly visible introductory course on Native American religions. Vine Deloria teaches here. So does Sam Gill. So does Ward Churchill. So does Deward Walker. Even without David Carrasco, soon on his way to Princeton, this is an sizeable concentration of authorities, of various sorts, on indigenous cultures, politics, law, and religions. Ordinarily, I teach courses on indigenous religions at Wilfrid Laurier, a small Canadian university where I can do what I do in relative obscurity, that is, at considerable remove from indigenous populations of the American Southwest, where I do most of my field work, and at a considerable remove from high-profile scholars whose names are regularly associated with Native American studies.

Extractions: Native American Sacred Traditions and Western Culture (this icon and many others are available from Bridge Building Images Westerners confronting the limitations of our own dualistic culture regarding gender, often rush to appropriate Native "two-spirit" traditions ("berdache", etc) as examples of the acceptance and affirmation we long for in our own culture. Yet, in our excitement and ignorance, we often trample on the very same sacred traditions we are trying to honor. While usually unintentional, this trend is a modern form of racist imperialism Explore with joy but if you honor and value the traditions, then please take the time to engage and learn with respect... An article by a professor of religious studies discussing the need to listen carefully... In my culture we have people who dress half-man, half-woman. Winkte, we call them in our language, but gay people are dressing up as women in our dances, and that's not the way. ...If you are Winkte, that is an honorable term, and you are a special human being. And among my nation and all Plains people, we consider you a teacher of our children, and are proud of what and who you are. If you're going to sing my songs, and do my dances, then ask us. Quit butchering my songs, my dances, and the things that I am proud to wear. It means nothing now.
