CALL FOR STUDENT WRITING
The 28th Annual California Conference on American Indian Education is
approaching quickly and, once again, we wish to showcase the writings
of American Indian students from our state in a small booklet
(chapbook) available to each participant who attends the
conference. We are requesting poetry, short stories, and photography
from all K-12 American Indian youths who reside in California. This is
the fourth year we have requested photographs. If possible we would
prefer black and white photographs but will accept color.
All submissions should address the conference theme "Educating
Tomorrows Leaders." Photographs and writings that demonstrate the power
of intergenerational education, whether formal or cultural, are
especially welcome.
Please inform your youths about this opportunity to have their work
published and encourage them to submit their writings to:
American Indian Education Program
Copyright will remain with the authors. Works submitted for publication

EARLY INDIAN CULTURE PHOTO GALLERY

IF THERE APPEARS TO BE A BIAS TOWARDS THE OJIBWA PEOPLE,
THERE IS
THESE ARE MY DIRECT METIS ANCESTORS
EARLY INDIAN CULTURE Photo is of pictograph
before 6,000 B.C.
The early people hunted the Woods Bison (buffalo) and the Mastodon or
possibly a Mammoth?
VIKING EXPLORERPhoto is of Viking
about 1,000 A.D.
The Viking explored and settled in Canada. Some information suggests
they reached Manitoba via the Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes.
EARLY ALGONKIAN and WENDAT TRADING SITE Photo is of Indian trade site
17 century
This depicts a traditional Indian trading camp. During the early
European trading period, the Wendat (Huron) were the middlemen in the
Peoples trade with the Europeans.
INDIAN IN CANOEPhoto is of Indians in canoe
2,500 B.C. to modern times
The Algonkian were the canoe builders and were the main supplier to
the Iroquois Nations to the south of Canada. The canoe has been in
use from before 2,500 B.C.
OJIBWA DOMED LODGEPhoto is of OJIBWA DOMED LODGE
The Ojibwa lodge is of framed construction covered with Black Ash and
Birch Bark. It is noteworthy that frame construction was not used by
the European Canadians until much later. The domed construction
appears to be used by semi-sedentary peoples where as the tipi is used
by those engaged primarily in hunting.
OJIBWA SHAMANPhoto is of OJIBWA SHAMAN IN DOMED LODGE
The Ojibwa Shaman is in a domed lodge, you can see the framed
construction. The Shaman is using the sucking tube to withdraw the
cause of the illness. These tubes are also used to extract foreign
objects from his patients. These 'Shaman Medicine Men' had to
apprentice longer than the Medicine men of Europe.
1608 OJIBWA WILD RICE HARVESTPhoto is of Ojibwa harvesting wild rice
The Ojibwa are harvesting wild rice by knocking it into their canoe.
The rice heads are tied to protect against wind and wildfowl and are
looped in such a way that each family can identify its own rice.
Iroquois nations to the south are not known to harvest rice. Their
grain mainstay is corn.
1536 DOM AGAYA AND CARTIER Photo is Dom Agaya
Dom Agaya saved the French Cartier expedition in 1536

OJIBWA FISHING AT THE SAULTPhoto is of Sault Ste Marie
The Ojibwa and other nations gathered at the Sault (Sault Ste. Marie)
since about 1500 to fish the rapids.
1785 CREE AT TRADING POSTPhoto is of HBC TRADING POAST

TYPICAL PLAINS BUFFALO JUMPPhoto is of Indian buffalo jump
The Great Plains People used the same buffalo jump for thousands of
years. Great organization and leadership was required to co-ordinate
these extensive hunts on foot. Evidence suggests 150-200 People are
used to co-ordinate the hunt.
ALGONKIAN CARIBOU SKIN COATPhoto is of Indians coat
The people were very innovative and freely adopted other cultural
attributes that appealed to them. Most Natives attribute the
innovation of the decorative design to the Metis. The functional
design is a mix of European influence of fashion with Native influence
of practicality.
LAKE HURONPhoto is of INDIAN ENCAMPMENT
Indian encampment on Lake Huron. Lake Huron is named after the Wendat
People who occupied the area when the French penetrated into this
Region.

AEQ Book Review of Making Dictionaries: Preserving
Indigenous Languages of the Americas
From: George Lessard
Subject: AEQ Book Review of Making Dictionaries: Preserving
Indigenous Languages of the Americas
Frawley, William, Kenneth C. Hill, and Pamela Munro, eds. Making
Dictionaries: Preserving Indigenous Languages of the Americas.
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002. 450 pp. ISBN
0520229967, $34.95.
Reviewed for the Anthropology & Education Quarterly by
Catherine S. Fowler
This volume of papers provides fascinating perspectives on the
processes and practices of dictionary making by several contemporary
lexicographers, all of whom have struggled or are yet struggling to
develop these important tools for indigenous languages in North
America and Meso-America. Given that most of the 23 contributors are
well known for their work in theoretical and/or historical
linguistics, but also are actively involved in language preservation
and restoration efforts, their accounts of the complexities, time and
issues involved in developing dictionaries become even more important
and significant. As noted in the introduction by Fawley, Hill and
Munro, when one considers that a good dictionary "is a thousand pages
of ideas and history, a guide to the mind and world of a people" (p.
22), developed by a person (rarely persons) who is "simultaneously a
phonetician, morphologist, syntactician, and semanticist but also a
sociologist, anthropologist, biologist, diplomat, therapist,
mediator, and salesman" (p. 21), then the work and results deserve
much more consideration than they are often accorded. Indeed,
lexicographers are far from the "unfortunate drudges" that history
suggests, but rather heros to be celebrated and lauded for their
ultimate achievements. Readers of this volume will come away with
that impression, as well as a genuine feeling for the real work and
problems involved.
Subject: Sundance Institute's commitment to supporting Native Cinema
From: George Lessard
The Sundance Institute's commitment to supporting Native Cinema is
woven throughout the 23-year history of the Institute along with its
support for the artistic vitality of American Cinema. Rooted in the
recognition of a rich tradition of story telling and artistic
expression by Native Peoples, the Institute established a Native
Program as a means of supporting the development of Native filmmakers
and the exhibition of their work. The Sundance Institute has
supported nearly 45 Native writers and directors over the past 23
years, and showcased nearly 100 films by Native filmmakers. The
Sundance Film Festival's Native Forum is a gathering of Indigenous
filmmakers from around the world, and offers opportunities for them
to share their expertise and knowledge with each other and the
independent film community through workshops, panels, networking
events, and special screenings.

From Nov. 26, 2004 through Jan. 30, 2005, the Peabody Essex Museum
hosts Our Land: Contemporary Art from the Arctic, the first major
museum exhibition of contemporary art from Canada's newest territory,
Nunavut. The exhibition includes more than 50 artworks-from
sculpture, prints, and textile art to photography, video, and sound
installations-all created in the last half-century, a time of
burgeoning artistic and cultural awareness and pride among Canada's
Inuit. Our Land is a collaborative project of the Peabody Essex
Museum, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Nunavut.
Newspaper coverage
Our Land: Contemporary Art from the Arctic , has received financial
support from the Government of Nunavut's Department of Culture,
Language, Elders and Youth, the Government of Canada, the Constance
Killam Trust, and the Elizabeth Killam Rodgers Trust.

Nine years ago, brilliantly carved Tlingit artifacts linking the
Chilkat people with their ancestors were sold and removed from the
village of Klukwan. Since then, families, neighbors and lawyers have
fought bitterly over ownership. No one sees them now.

DAGGETT - A break-in discovered Christmas Day has robbed the museum in
this Mojave Desert town of its most prized
possessions, including antique dolls and American Indian artifacts on
loan from local families.
The thieves methodically cleared out glass display cases in the
Daggett Museum, said curator Beryl Bell, who discovered the
burglary when she went to feed her goldfish over the holiday.
"It's really heartbreaking for a small museum," Bell said Wednesday.
The stolen Native American artifacts include a basket appraised at
$3,500, a Navajo sash and two large clay Acoma pots that
had never been appraised but are very valuable, said Leslie Lloyd, the
president of the Daggett Historical Society, which
runs the museum.
The thieves also took antique dolls, model trains and other toys,
farming implements and examples of rocks from the area,
Lloyd said.
The thieves ignored the computers and copy machine in the office of a
local government agency that shares the low-slung
modular building with the museum, but they stole $2 in coins from
Lloyd's desk and a museum donation jar that contained
about $10, she said.
Despite the theft of the change, Lloyd believes the burglars were
experienced, as they left no fingerprints and took steps
to disable the alarm system -- even though it wasn't operational at
the time of the break-in.
"This appeared to be a very neat operation and it appeared they had a
shopping list," she said.
The historical society has notified the Antique Tribal Art Dealers
Association, which plans to post news of the break-in on
its Web site and will inform its 250 members.
The historical society is offering a $500 reward to anyone who can
provide information leading to the arrest and conviction.
Hero, Hawk, and Open Hand CHICAGO - A translucent, larger-than-life hand with long, tapering
fingers lends an air of mystery to a new exhibit of ancient and
little-known tribal art at the Art Institute of Chicago.
"Hero, Hawk, and Open Hand" opened Nov. 20 and runs through Jan. 30,
2005. It is scheduled to be shown at The St. Louis Art Museum from
March 4 to May 30, 2005, and at the Smithsonian National Museum of
Natural History from early July to late September.

Web Sites: Literacy in Indigenous Communities by L. David van Broekhuizen, Ph.D. (2000) Essay on the Zuni World View
Cushing also cited an
incidence where he showed a pole that accompanies a theodolite to an old Zuni
man and asked him what he thought the name of it was. In response the old man inquired as to the
use
of the
item. After briefly describing the
implementation of the device the old man provided a rather lengthy
sentence-word that Cushing translated as "heights of the world progressively
measuring stick". The next day Cushing
took the pole to the extreme corner of the pueblo and began "to flourish it
around" until a middle-aged man relented to curiosity and asked what it
was. Cushing then provided the Zuni
name he had learned the day before and the man promptly requested, "Can they
actually tell how far up and down journeying the world is?"

Indian band seeks to regain its birthright
Wintu Indians Costanoan Family
A linguistic family on the coast of central California. In 1877 Powell
(Cont. N. A. Ethnol., In, 535) established a family which he called
Mutsun,
extending from San Francisco to Soledad and from the sea inland to the
Sierras, and including an area in the Marin County peninsula, north of
San
Francisco bay, and gave vocabularies from various parts of this
territory.
In 1891 (7th Rep. B. A. E., 70, 92, map) Powell divided this area
between
two families, Moquelumnan and Costanoan. The Moquelumnan family
occupied the
portion of the old Mutsun territory east of San Joaquin river and north
of
San Francisco bay.
The territory of the Costanoan family extended from the Pacific ocean
to San
Joaquin river, and from the Golden Gate and Suisun bay on the north to
Pt
Sur on the coast and a point a short distance south of Soledad in the
Salinas valley on the south. Farther inland the south boundary is
uncertain,
though it was probably near Big Panoche creek. The Costanoan Indians
lived
mainly on vegetal products, especially acorns and seeds, though they
also
obtained fish and mussels, and captured deer and smaller game. Their
clothing was scant, the men going naked. Their houses were tule or
grass
huts, their boats balsas or rafts of tules. They made baskets, but no
pottery, and appear to have been as primitive as most of the tribes of
California. They burned the dead. The Rumsen of Monterey looked upon
the
eagle, the humming bird, and the coyote as the original Inhabitants of
the
world, and they venerated the redwood. Their languages were simple and
harmonious. Seven missions-San Carlos, Soledad, San Juan Bautista,
Santa
Cruz, Santa Clara, San Jose, and Dolores (San Francisco)-were
established in
Costanoan territory by the Franciscans subsequent to 1770, and
continued
until their confiscation by the Mexican government in 1834, when the
Indians
were scattered. The surviving individuals of Costanoan blood may number
today 25 or 30, most of them "Mexican" in life and manners rather than
Indian.
True tribes did not exist in Costanoan territory, the groups mentioned
below
being small and probably little more than village communities, without
political connection or even a name other than that of the locality
they
inhabited.
The following divisions or settlements have been recognized: Ahwaste,
Altahmo, Ansaime, Aulintac, Chalone, Costanos, Kalindaruk, Karkin,
Mutsun,
Olhon, Romonan, Rumsen, Saklan, Thomien, Tulomo, and Wacharon (?).
