"Honor Your Spirit, Protect The Children"
Winter & Christmas 2004 - Request for Donations
http://www.geocities.com/honoryourspirit/home.html

If you wish to make a difference and help children and elders through the harsh winter months in Montana, please take the time to read our request. On behalf of reliable Northern Cheyenne contacts from Lame Deer, we are once again collecting donations for those in need on the Northern Cheyenne reservation.
There is a large need especially for new and good quality used warm items, as well as toys.
List of useful donations :
- warm clothing such as knitted items for children of all ages from babies to teenagers, and for elders - jeans and T-shirts, all sizes - socks, gloves, boots, hats and scarves - blankets - toys for Christmas
Donations should be sent to the following address:
Honor Your Spirit - Protect the Children
% Sue Buck
PO Box 901
Great Falls, MT 59403-0901 (USA)
Please contact suemontana@mcn.net for mailing information other than regular US Mail service. (Also please include your name and address if you would like for us to acknowledge/confirm receipt of your donations.)
The toys will be distributed during the Christmas give away but the warm clothes and blankets will be distributed right away. During Montana winters, the temperature can drop to 30 or 40 degrees below zero so warm winter clothing and blankets can be lifesaving.
Our goal is to help the children, the elders, the single parent families, or families unable to make ends meet due to the high unemployment rate, the difficult conditions and the extreme poverty on the reservation.The children need all the help and encouragement they can get!
Other items that would also be appreciated: grooming supplies like toothpaste, tooth brushes,soaps and shampoos, combs, hair brushes, hair barrettes, rubber bands or other types of hair or pony tail holders. Last but not least : pampers diapers or pull-ups.
Thank you for being a part of this project and supporting it."
Respectfully,
Manuel Redwoman,
Northern Cheyenne/Lakota/Arapaho
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone for your support !

Arikara notes - Arikara
Signifying "horns," or "elk," and having reference to their ancient manner of wearing the hair with two pieces of bone standing up, one on each side of the crest; -ra is the plural suffix. Also called: A da ka' da ho, Hidatsa name. Ah-pen-ope-say, or A-pan-to'-pse, Crow name. Corn eaters, given as their own name. Ka'-nan-in, Arapaho name, meaning "people whose jaws break in pieces." O-no'-ni-o, Cheyenne name. Padani, Pani, applied to them by various tribes. Ree, abbreviation of Arikara. Sanish, "person," their own name, according to Gilmore (1927). S'guies'tshi, Salish name. Stâr-râh-he' [tstarahi], their own name, according to Lewis and Clark (1904-05). Tanish, their own name, meaning "the people," according to Hayden (1862). Perhaps a misprint of Sanish. Wa-zi'-ya-ta Pa-da'-nin, Yankton name, meaning "northern Pawnee." Connections. The Arikara belonged to the Caddoan linguistic stock and were a comparatively recent offshoot of the Skidi Pawnee. Location. In historic times they have occupied various points on the Missouri River between Cheyenne River, South Dakota, and Fort Berthold, North Dakota. (See also Montana and Nebraska.) Subdivisions and Villages The Arikara are sometimes spoken of as a confederacy of smaller tribes each occupying its own village, and one account mentions 10 of these, while Gilmore (1927) furnishes the names of 12, including 4 of major importance under which the others were grouped. These were as follows: Awahu, associated with which were Hokat and Scirihauk. Hukawirat, with which were associated Warihka and Nakarik. Tusatuk, with which were associated Tsininatak and Witauk. Tukstanu, with which were associated Nakanusts and Nisapst. Earlier sources give other names which do not agree with these: Hachepiriinu. Hia. Hosukhaunu, properly the name of a dance society. Hosukhaunukarerihu, properly the name of a dance society. Kaka. Lohoocat, the name of a town in the time of Lewis and Clark. Okos. Paushuk. Sukhutit. History. After parting from the Skidi in what is now Nebraska, the Arikara gradually pushed north to the Missouri River and on up that stream. In 1770 when French traders opened relations with them they were a little below Cheyenne River. Lesser and Weltfish (1932) suggest that they may have been the Harahey or Arahey of whom Coronado was told rather than the Pawnee. Lewis and Clark found them, reduced considerably in numbers, between Grand and Cannonball Rivers. In 1823 they attacked the boats of an American trader, killing 13 men and wounding others, and in consequence of this trouble they abandoned their country and went to live with the Skidi on Loup River. Two years later they returned to the Missouri, and by 1851 they had pushed as far north as Heart River. Meantime wars with the Dakota and the smallpox had reduced them so much that they were glad to open friendly relations with two other tribes, similarly reduced, the Hidatsa and Mandan. In 1862 they moved to Fort Berthold. In 1880 the Fort Berthold Reservation was created for the three tribes, and the Arikara have ever since lived upon it, though they are now allotted land in severalty, and on the approval of the allotments, July 10, 1900, they became citizens of the United States. Population. Mooney (1928) estimates that in 1780 there were about 3,000 Arikara. In 1804 Lewis and Clark gave 2,600. In 1871 they numbered 1,650; in 1888 only 500; and in 1904, 380. The census of 1910 returned 444 of whom 425 were in North Dakota. In 1923 the United States Indian Office gave 426. The census of 1930 returned 420, and the United States Indian Office in 1937, 616. Connection in which they have become noted. The Arikara are noted merely as the most northerly of the Caddoan tribes and from their probable influence in introducing a knowledge of agriculture to the people of the upper Missouri. Arickaree in Washington County, Colo., perpetuates the name

A Prophecy - Winnebago

Nothing is said of the provenience of this prophecy. It refers to a war against the Long Knives (white Americans) to take place a year later. Since defeat will presage enslavement, it is probably not an early war with the United States government, but something closer to the time when the Hotcâgara were expelled from their lands. This makes it likely that the prophet is the famous White Cloud, the Winnebago Prophet of the Black Hawk War. A year from this time, here when we attack the people who wear hats, shouting the war cry, as many as they are above shall become full; again the days as many as they are; again those who walk upon the light (birds), those possibly likewise; and again the things that move upon the earth as many as there are, and all four winds; again the white faced people whom we have seen above (stars?); all will help me. When this is done, the earth will shake. When this happens, even if the Long Knives aim their guns, they would not be able to fire them, no matter what, the guns will be just as they were (unfired). They will not be able to move. When this happens we need only knock them out. When this happens we need only make an end of them. When we ourselves alone move on the earth, we shall get along with our lives very well. For this purpose did I come here. If it happens that we fail, in time the whole earth will be fully occupied by the people who wear hats. If it is filled, in time we will fail even to have a place to live. If we should camp someplace we would have to ask permission, and we shall camp there only if they give us permission. Again if we were to cut a stick for a lodge frame, we shall have to ask permission to cut even one. Thus it will be. We would think that the land will not be filled, but in time it will be overcrowded.
