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
will not be returned, so please send copies only. Each youth who is
published will receive two free chapbooks from the Conference Planning
Committee. All works should be submitted for
review by Monday, March 7, 2005. Along with each submission, please
include the following information:
We are looking forward to publishing the writings and photographs of
our California Native American youths. If you have any questions,

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.
Hero, Hawk, and Open Hand CHICAGO - A translucent, larger-than-life hand with long, tapering

"Hero, Hawk, and Open Hand" 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 Coyote's Eyes - Pima
When Coyote was traveling about one day, he saw a small bird. The bird
was
hopping about contentedly and Coyote thought, "What a beautiful bird.
It
moves about so gracefully."
He drew nearer to the bird and asked, "What beautiful things are you
working
with?" but the bird could not understand Coyote. After a while the bird
took
out his two eyes and threw them straight up into the air, like two
stones.
It looked upward but had no eyes. Then the bird said,
"Come, my eyes. Come quickly, down into my head." The eyes fell down
into
the bird's head, just where they belonged, but were much brighter than
before.
Coyote thought he could brighten his eyes. He asked the bird to take
out his
eyes. The bird took out Coyote's eyes, held them for a moment in his
hands,
and threw them straight up into the air. Coyote looked up and called,
"Come
back, my eyes. Come quickly."
They at once fell back into his head and were much brighter than
before.
Coyote wanted to try it again, but the bird did not wish to. But Coyote
persisted.
Then the bird said, "Why should I work for you, Coyote? No, I will work
no
more for you." But Coyote still persisted, and the bird took out his
eyes
and threw them up.
Coyote cried, "Come, my eyes, come back to me."
But his eyes continued to rise into the air, and the bird began to go
away.
Coyote began to weep. But the bird was annoyed, and called back, "Go
away
now. I am tired of you. Go away and get other eyes."
But Coyote refused to go and entreated the bird to find eyes for him.
At
last the bird gathered gum from a pinon tree and rolled it between his
hands
and put it in Coyote's eye holes, so that he could see.
But his eyes had been black and very bright. His new eyes were yellow.
"Now," said the bird, it "go away. You cannot stay here any longer."
