Fort Hood cemetery allows Native Americans to complete 'circle of life' by A.J. Coyne FORT HOOD, Texas, (Army News Service, Aug. 17, 1998) Hundreds of years agobefore Europeans landed in North America, before the United States existed, and before soldiers in armored tanks claimed the area as their ownthe land on which Fort Hood, Texas, now sits was home to a warrior of a different kind. Members of the Comanche and Tonkawa tribes roamed the Central Texas hill country, living their lives just as their ancestors had before them. Today, much of the Native American culture and lifestyle has been lost. But after decades of travel, many of these 18th and 19th century warriors have come to rest on an isolated patch of land in North Fort Hood. Although its existence is not well known to many in the local community, Native Americans from all over the country have traveled to Fort Hood to visit what is now the Comanche National Indian Cemetery at Fort Hood. Built in 1991, the cemetery is home to the repatriated remains of dozens of Native Americans from a number of different tribes. Bones and artifacts that were originally buried with the bodies have been brought to Fort Hood and returned to the earth to complete what Native Americans call "the circle of life." "Most of the remains are from this area," said Dortch E. Short, co-chairman of the cemetery. "But some of the remains come from as far away as Florida." They come from sources such as museums, universities, and private hands, he said.

Stereotypes of Native Americans We are all familar with the typical stereotypes of Native Americans. We display those promoted by our government prominantly on these pages. The portrait on the Indian Head nickel was largely responsible for the fact that Indians could not get jobs in Hollywood to play Indian parts. They did not look Indian enough! (See the essay by Joseph Marshall III, in On Behalf of the Wolf and the First Peoples , Two Left Moccasins: I Become a Member of the Cinema Tribe.) We are so used to seeing the Land o'Lakes Indian maiden, the various school mascots, mascots of professional sports teams, etc. that we forget what effect these images have on the ideas we have of the people they represent, or on the personal image of the children of these people as they must learn to live in this society. In this regard, we strongly suggest that you read the commentary on this issue by Paul D. Gonzales of San Ildefonso Pueblo. Here we present a reading list for those who would like to learn about real Native Americans, from Native American writers writing both fiction and non-fiction. We hope you will gain a far better sense of who the people who populated this continent before the invasion that began in 1492 occured. We will also include a page of links to Web sites which continue the long tradition of Native American stereotypes.

forgotten 2 The Peace Maker traveled among the Iroquois for many years, spreading his message of peace, unity and the power of the good mind. "Oral history says that it may have taken him forty some years to reach everyone. Born of a Huron woman who was still a virgin, the Peace Maker, grew rapidly and one day announced that he had to journey forth to deliver a message from the Creator. He selected a white stone canoe to carry him to the Iroquois as proof of the power of his message. But he was met with much skepticism and the men that he came across refused to listen to him. After Jikohnsaseh rejuvenated his spirit, he continued and was able to persuade fifty leaders to receive his message. He gathered them together and recited the passages of the Great Law of Peace. He assigned duties to each of the leaders. To honor the role of Jikohnsaseh, he selected women as the Clan Mothers, to lead the family clans and select the male chiefs......" Voices, at gatherings, teaching the young the ways of The People. But the voices can get drowned out in the calliope of the modern world. Sad, as for in these voices is a lesson for all , calling us to remembrance, of a debt of conscience. My first contact with Native Americas was by way of a statue in the park of the town I was born in. It was called "End of The Trail". It was a dying warrior on a horse, he was slumped down as was his horse yet pointed toward home. The point of the statue to me was no matter how hard to journey was, no matter what the damage was, he was going home. But as this country expanded; taking more away from those who felt it was not theirs to give, home moved further away, making the end of the trail a journey not unlike a Native American version of Sisyphus. Even the name Native American, or Indians, were titles foreign and meaningless to those forced to wear it.

During the first couple of meetings this month, no Native American participation was present. After contacting tribal members the attendance had expanded at the Grand Rapids and Park Rapids meetings in northern Minnesota. "We weren't notified about these meetings, many of us don't get the newspaper. We are concerned citizens that are worried for the protection of the wolf. We have a right to take part in these public hearings and take part in any state policy decisions that will affect our brother wolf", said Bob Shimek, a White Earth band member who is organizing efforts to protect the wolf. Many members of the Chippewa bands throughout the state and the country are members of the wolf clan. Many of these tribal clans exist in the White Earth reservation located southwest of Bemidji, as well as other tribal reservations. "The wolf is part of our heritage and has a cultural and spiritual relationship to our people", said Bill Bush, another White Earth Chippewa and wolf clan member.

"There is no simple strategy to solving the problems on our nation's Indian Reservations and Tribal Villages. We need to have all federal and local tribal agencies working together, with greater emphasis placed on private sector empowerment. It is important to remain bi-partisan while working together to ensure that federal programs are fully funded at the levels for which they are authorized. I am encouraged that we are taking steps in the right direction. We in Congress need to make issues affecting Native Americans one of our highest priorities and create opportunity for economic development.

The reservations and populations vary in size; however, most are large tribes, with land based economies. In general the major natural resource is the grassland which supports the ranching industry on most of the reservations. Farmland generates some revenues for the tribes and their members. The area has been experiencing problems with prairie dogs, noxious weed infestation, solid waste issues, and the potential for water management and water rights issues.

Not long ago I was working with children in a school on the east coast and told them I had just come from working with Indian children in North Dakota. They were sure I was telling another story since, they said, "There aren't any more Indians. We killed them all." Hard to believe such things in today's world of television and world wide communication, but I'm sure these children were not unique in their ignorance. Many studies of Indians leave students convinced that all Indians lived in tepees then and still do or that they were all wiped out, not that our ancestors didn't try.

- First Encounters - SITE GUIDE Introduction Mississippi Valley Prehistory Historic Native Americans European Explorers Frequently Asked Questions ... ORDER the CD! An Educational CD-ROM In 1492, Columbus opened the door between the Old and New Worlds, catalyzing major changes for cultures on both sides of the Atlantic. The first encounters between Native Americans and Europeans in the Mississippi Valley sparked conflict and cooperation as cultures from these two worlds struggled to understand and interact with each other. The fact that similar struggles are still going on in the 21st century proves that studying history is never irrelevant. The FIRST ENCOUNTERS CD provides a format for active learning across the curriculum in social studies, foreign language, anthropology, history, and geography classes at middle school, high school, and college levels. Students will explore a multicultural perspective on first encounters by learning to critically evaluate original historical sources, including texts, maps, artworks, and archeological finds, in three language tracks: English, French, and Spanish.

What to Teach Kids and Why by Dick Baugh Why It's Important Everyone finds it easy to complain about what is taught in our public schools but how many people take the opportunity to actually do something about it? I am fortunate enough to work for a large company, one of whose corporate objectives is to be a good citizen of the community. This is interpreted fairly broadly. In my case it means I take time off during my regular work hours to go into the local public schools and show students the material culture of everyone's stone age ancestors as well as that of the local Native Americans (Ohlone Tribe) of the San Francisco Bay area in California. I make up the lost work time whenever convenient. This article is not a "how to do it' but instead it is a "what you can do" or "what's possible". It assumes the reader is already skilled in some aspects of primitive living skills and is interested in passing them on to young people. Why do I teach primitive skills? With all the "practical" things that children need to learn to survive in the heart of Silicon Valley why should they learn all this primitive stuff? Lots of reasons: They live in a multi-cultural world.

57. Strategies For Teaching Native Americans they will take part although perhaps not to the extent of some nonnative americans. Uselots of examples and pictures in teach ing concepts to make sure they http://www.literacynet.org/lp/namericans/strategies.html

Some points to be considered when teaching Native Americans: Be aware of their background, knowledge, and experiences. Get to know each person. This may take time but once a relationship is established which involves trust then the individual is more receptive to learning and more willing to participate. He will do better with the understanding that his teacher cares. Trust is an integral part of the relationship. One-to-one help. At the beginning, some may be reluctant to ask questions but through the trust building relationship and time they will open up and be more willing to share and ask questions. Some may not be as verbal as non-Native Americans. When teaching concepts use examples that are relevant to their lifestyles and/or com munities. It helps to have some background information about the tribe(s) of the indi vidual. They come with varying backgrounds and experi ences. Use all modes (visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic) when teaching concepts and skills. Use visual aids, drawings, illustrations or demonstrations, and do not limit ac tivities to worksheets and lectures. Role playing can be utilized provided that the teacher feels comfortable in using it. At the beginning, students may appear shy and may not be willing or be hesitant to par ticipate, but with time they will take part although perhaps not to the extent of some non-Native Americans. This depends on the background of individuals. The person who is more acculturated may be more verbal than a more traditional student. Become familiar with and know your students, then they will be more apt to open up and participate.

The Internet: A Land To Settle Rather Than An Ocean To Surf And A New "Place" For School Reform through Community Development Margaret Riel InterLearn If it once took the whole village to raise a child, then can we expect a succession of isolated teachers to give students all the skills they need to productive members of society? Schools at present are more likely to exist on the outskirts rather than in the heart of communities. A "school" community is not rich enough to represent the skills and abilities of the "whole" village or villages of today. In fact, very few of us live our lives in a place that we would characterize as a "village." Diverse economic and social patterns fragment our geographic communities and it is often technology that drives us apart. Many see the electronic "global village" as an overused clich of techno-romantics who promote technology as the modern solution to all problems, the source of linear progress towards a better world. These skeptics view electronic communities as a misguided and perhaps even dangerous escape from the problems of the "real" world a silicon snake oil. Computers, they argue, can only led to further alienation. The possibility remains, however, that the landscape of the Internet will provide different common spaces that will challenge us to reexamine the way we relate to one another.
