Hello,
I will be creating a power point presentation for my undergraduate
ethnic studies class that will provide a visual awareness of the
blatant discrimination of Indigenous People's Images in Sports; i.e.
mascots. If anyone would like me to send them a copy of this, please
email me at tstrickl@calpoly.edu and I'd be happy to send it - or if
anyone has any pictures/information that would be helpful in
creating it I'd appreciate that too.

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. Subject: Tlingit Whale House Series
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 17:02:28 -0700
From: George Lessard
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.

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, Iktome and the Rock - Lakota / White River
Coyote was walking with his friend Iktome. Along their path stood Iya,
the
rock. This was not just any rock; it was special. It had those spidery
lines
of green moss all over it, the kind that tell a story. Iya had power.
Coyote said: "Why, this is a nice-looking rock. I think it has power."
Coyote took off the thick blanket he was wearing and put it on the
rock.
"Here, Iya, take this as a present. Take this blanket, friend rock, to
keep
you from freezing. You must feel cold."
"Wow, a giveaway!" said Iktome. "You sure are in a giving mood today,
friend."
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm always giving things away. Iya looks real nice
in my
blanket."
"His blanket, now," said Iktome.
The two friends went on. Pretty soon a cold rain started. The rain
turned to
hail. The hail turned to slush. Coyote and Iktome took refuge in a
cave,
which was cold and wet. Iktome was all right; he had his thick buffalo
robe.
Coyote only had his shirt, and he was shivering. He was freezing. His
teeth
were chattering.
"Kola, friend of mine," Coyote said to Iktome, "go back and get me my
fine
blanket. I need it, and that rock has no use for it. He's been getting
along
without a blanket for ages. Hurry; I'm freezing!"
Iktome went back to Iya, saying; "Can I have that blanket back,
please?"
The rock said: "No, I like it. What is given is given."
Iktome returned and told Coyote: "He won't give it back."
"That no-good, ungrateful rock!" said Coyote. "Has he paid for the
blanket?
Has he worked for it? I'll go get it myself."
"Friend," said Iktome, "Tunka, Iya, the rock-there's a lot of power
there!
Maybe you should let him keep it."
"Are you crazy? This is an expensive blanket of many colors and great
thickness. I'll go talk to him."
Coyote went back and told Iya: "Hey, rock! What's the meaning of this?
What
do you need a blanket for? Let me have it back right now!"
"No," said the rock, "what is given is given."
"You're a bad rock! Don't you care that I'm freezing to death? That
I'll
catch a cold? Coyote jerked the blanket away from Iya and put it on.
"So
there, that's the end of it."
"By no means the end," said the rock.
Coyote went back to the cave. The rain and hail stopped and the sun
came out
again, so Coyote and Iktome sat before the cave, sunning themselves,
eating
pemmican and fry-bread and wojapi, berry soup. After eating, they took
out
their pipes and had a smoke.
All of a sudden Iktome said: "What's that noise?"
"What noise? I don't hear anything."
"A crushing, a rumble far off."
"Yes, friend, I hear it now."
"Friend Coyote, its getting stronger and nearer, like thunder or an
earthquake."
"Its rather strong and loud, I wonder what it can be."
"I have a pretty good idea, friend," said Iktome.
Then they saw the great rock. It was Iya, rolling, thundering, crashing
upon
them.
"Friend, let's run for it!" cried Iktome; "Iya means to kill us!"
The two ran as fast as they could while the rock rolled after them,
coming
closer and closer.
"Friend, let's swim the river. The rock is so heavy, he sure can't
swim!"
cried Iktome. So they swam the river, but Iya, the great rock, also
swam
over the river as if he had been made of wood.
"Friend, into the timber, among the big trees," cried Coyote. "That big
rock
surely can't get through this thick forest." They ran among the trees,
but
the huge Iya came rolling along after them, shivering and splintering
the
big pine trees, left and right.
The two came out onto the flats. "Oh! oh!" cried Iktome, Spider Man.
"Friend
Coyote, this is really not my quarrel. I just remembered, I have
pressing
business to attend to. So long!" Iktome rolled himself into a tiny ball
and
became a spider. He disappeared into a mousehole.
Coyote ran on and on, the big rock thundering close at his heels. Then
Iya,
the big rock, rolled right over Coyote, flattening him out altogether.
Iya took the blanket and rolled back to his own place, saying: "So
there!"
A wasichu rancher riding along saw Coyote lying there all flattened
out.
"What a nice rug!" said the rancher, picking Coyote up, and he took the
rug
home.
The rancher put Coyote right in front of his fireplace. Whenever Coyote
is
killed, he can make himself come to life again, but it took him the
whole
night to put himself up into his usual shape. In the morning the
rancher's
wife told her husband: "I just saw your rug running away."
Friends hear this: always be generous to heart. If you have something
to
give, give it forever.
Told by Jenny Leading Cloud in White River, Rosebud Indian Reservation,
South Dakota, 1967. Recorded by Richard Erdoes.

http://groups.msn.com/KeeperofStories Coyote's Daughter [Becomes] His Wife - Apache / White Mountain
Coyote had a black belt with red fringes. He also had a turkey feather
cap
with two eagle feathers sticking up. He was traveling with his
daughter.
They came to a river and started across, wading. Coyote said to his
daughter, "Your dress will get wet, so lift it up a little way." The
girl
did this. Pretty soon Coyote said again, "Lift your dress a little
higher,
it will get wet," and the girl did so.
Then he kept on telling her to lift it a little higher until she had
the
dress up to her belly. Then Coyote looked and saw his own . She looked
pretty good to him. When they got across the river, they went on to
Coyote's
camp.
Then Coyote pretended to get sick. He lay down as if he was in a very
bad
way. Then he made believe he was going to die. This was all in one day.
He
said to his wife, "I am dying now. Over where they are playing hoop and
poles there will be a man standing, right at one end of the course. He
will
be dressed just as I am now. That is the man I want my daughter to
marry.
After I am dead, wait and destroy the wickiup over me. I was always
afraid
of rocks.[ Probably refers to burial under rocks, the customary way.]
Then
leave some red paint beside me." When he got through talking, he made
believe he died. His children started to cry for him. They destroyed
the
wickiup on top of him and went off leaving him there.
Just as soon as they had left. Coyote jumped up, crawled out from under
the
wickiup and ran to the place where they were playing hoop and poles and
stood there. He got there before his family did. Then he saw his wife
and
children coming. His wife talked with her daughter. "There is the man
you
are to marry " she said, "Go and fix up a new wickiup for yourselves "
So
they went and fixed up a new wickiup for the man and the girl That
evening
the man and the girl went to the wickiup and lay down together. That
way
Coyote lay with his own daughter all night He was married to her now.
Next day his wife said she was going to wash him up with yucca. Coyote
had
some lice in his hair and he told her to look for them Coyote also had
a
mole on the back of his head. He laid his head on his daughter's knees
and
she started to pick off lice. After a while Coyote fell asleep there.
Then
the girl came to the mole on the back of his head. When she saw this,
she
thought, "This is my father. She slipped herself out from under Coyote
quietly so as not to waken him, and then stepped easily over to her
mother's
camp. When she got there, she said, "My mother, that man I have been
married
to is my father. I know because of that mole on the back of his head."
Then
the old woman got mad all right. She said He was dead over there a long
time
ago." She took up a big rock and went over to where Coyote was lying
asleep.
Just before she got ready to throw the rock on him, he jumped up. "It
seems
to me you are not glad to see me, my mother-in-law," he said to his own
real
wife. What's the matter, mother-in-law, what are you trying to do? His
old
wife said, "You were dead long ago over there, and now. Coyote, you
marry
with your own daughter. You had better not stay around here any longer.
Go
some other place!"
Coyote started off and came to another camp where they were playing
hoop and
poles. "Look, here comes the man who married his own daughter," they
said.
Coyote turned around and started off in another direction. The next
camp he
came to they said, Mere comes the man who married his own daughter,"
and
Coyote turned around again. Then he went a very long way to a camp far
off.
When they saw him, they said, "There is that man who married his own
daughter," and Coyote turned back. Then Coyote started to wonder who it
was
who was telling everyone about him. "Wind, you're the one who is
talking
about me," he said. Then he climbed up a hill where wind was blowing.
When
he got there he put his hand back and spread his backside apart with
his
finger. The wind blew inside it and he closed it again. Then Coyote
traveled
on to another camp and no one said anything to him. He said to himself,
"I
knew you were the one doing this, Wind." [Listeners often exclaimed in
disgust over Coyote's incestuousness.]
