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,
please contact James Graham at (530)749-6196.
Thank you,
The 28th Annual California Conference on American Indian Education
From: "ghwelker" 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. 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.

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 Cottontail Boy and Snowshoe Rabbit - Nez Perce
There were Cottontail Boy [hayu' xtshatswal] and his friend Snowshoe
Rabbit
[palxts]. It was cold, very cold. Cottontail Boy lived by the river, in
its
warmth, and there he would say, "I wonder what my friend Snowshoe
Rabbit
could be doing there far yonder where the gray coldness looms?"
But there Snowshoe Rabbit was saying the same, "I wonder what my friend
Cottontail Boy could be doing there where the blue haze of warmth
looms?"
One day they met. "So, my friend, we meet." Is it that you are in good
health?"
"Eh! I should be asked when you are the one! I used to think about you,
'What things can my friend be doing there where the blue haze of warmth
looms?' "
"Is that so? Well, I am just living very, very comfortably," Cottontail
Boy
said to him. "Here I have such a good, very warm lodge under a
beautiful
overhanging cliff. There I kick up a hackberry bush by the roots, and I
bring this home to bum. This burns so well; and then I take some root
food
over which I pour water, and the water is absorbed instantly. I recline
comfortably there and eat very heartily, so heartily. But I thought of
you
often, and I would say to myself, 'What can my friend be doing there
where
the gray coldness looms?' "
"Oh, I, too, just live comfortably from day to day," Snowshoe Rabbit
told
him. I have a very comfortable living place. There is a big growth on a
pine
tree, and my home is there at the root. Here I kick apart fallen chunks
of
wood to bum. Oh, how this bums to coals and ashes. Then I take fatty
dried-meat and toast it somewhat, just to a red crispness. There I lean
back
and eat so heartily, eat until I feel a complete and happy gustatory
contentment."
"Yes, it seems that both of us are living very well." Then they said to
each
other, "Farewell. We will meet again sometime."

Cottontail (Rabbit) and his old mother lived in a house in Saline
Valley.
One day Cottontail went out to kill Sun. He took all the arrows he
could
carry. He started off toward the east and slept on a hillside that
night.
When Sun came up next morning, it poked Cottontail on his back to tease
him.
That is why Cottontail's back is yellow.
Cottontail saw that Sun had come up on a mountain farther to the east.
He
went over there. Next day he saw that Sun had come up on a mountain
still
farther to the east. He went over there. In this way Cottontail
continued to
go toward the east until he came to the edge of the ocean. He saw that
Sun
came up from the ocean and jumped up into a tree.
Cottontail went to the tree, and stayed under it to watch for Sun. He
looked
around for wood that would not burn (presumably to make his arrows). He
was
afraid that he would get burned and made a hole to hide in. Then he
killed
Sun with his bow and arrow, and jumped into his hole. When Sun fell to
the
earth, everything was burned.
After awhile, Cottontail reached out and felt the ground. It was still
hot.
He said, "tcuwa, tcuwa" and went back into his hole. He stayed there a
long
time.
When the ground was cool, Cottontail came out. He killed Sun, took its
gall
out, and threw it high up in the air. As Cottontail traveled home,
people
would tease him and say, "Look at Cottontail. He is a big man. He has
killed
Sun." They laughed at him. This made Cottontail so angry that he killed
everyone he met.
Cottontail walked for many days and finally arrived home in Saline
Valley
where his mother was waiting for him. They lived in a big brown rock
which
today is called "Cottontail's house."
