TOURNAMENT CONCLUDES
Schedule subject to change without notice. Updated 04/30/05
POD Productions first event debuted on July 11- 13, 2003 at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona with Nike and Phoenix Suns as presenting sponsors. The vision of NABI tournament was to provide a spark that ignited Native American youth to set their sights higher, make the most of their potential and reach their dreams through sports and educational opportunities. The tournament featured 24 teams from across the U.S. and Canada.
Many of Indian Country's most influential people spoke and inspired the young people participating in the tournament. "The coaches at Haskell (Indian College) and the people who I met through basketball saved my life" said Ernie Stevens, chairman National Indian Gaming Association. Tex Hall, President, National Congress of American Indians: Shared, "I came from an era where we jumped in a beat-up car and played on worthless Courts. This tournament should show you there are people willing to invest in you" (Jessie Stomski, Native Voice)
Sam McCracken became the Manager of Native American Business at Nike in the year 2000, a position he created with the support of the "powers that be" at the sports apparel giant. As McCracken explains, "My position here at Nike is to be a face of the community. It needs a real person that can make real connections. One of my goals is to heighten the awareness of Native Americans in sports, to support Native athletes." (Lise Balk King and Jessie Stomski, Native Voice)
NABI's goal of receiving national attention from colleges that can provide scholarship opportunities to the Native Americans youth who participated was reached in our inaugural year. The tournament also positioned it self as being a quality national recognized Native American tournament in which youth and tribes have a desire to be part of in years to come. With the goal of being NCAA sanctioned by 2005. http://discover.npr.org/features/feature.jhtml?wfId=1385520
In addition, the desire of the team at POD Productions is to inspire and meet the needs of Native American youth by not only being a part of an exciting event that gives youth an opportunity to showcase their skills and provide educational opportunities but, by being part of their future and to build an on going relationship that encourages and supports their dreams.Because of this desire, the NABI Foundation was founded. The Foundation will help with the needs of Native American athletes by establishing a college mentoring program to encourage Native American youth to further their education. POD Productions goal is to grow The NABI Foundation, governed by Native leaders, into a national Foundation within our first five years.
NABI will be the catalyst to catapult Native athletes into the college level of play and with the NABI Foundation, work with colleges to create mentor programs to help the students deal with the stresses of leaving the reservations with the hopes of creating life time career opportunities and Native Americans athletes having a consistent presence in the NBA and other pro sports.

Coyote places the stars - Wasco
One time there were five wolves, all brothers, who traveled together. Whatever meat they got when they were hunting they would share with Coyote. One evening Coyote saw the wolves looking up at the sky. "What are you looking at up there, my brothers?" asked Coyote. "Oh, nothing," said the oldest wolf. Next evening Coyote saw they were all looking up in the sky at something. He asked the next oldest wolf what they were looking at, but he wouldn't say. It went on like this for three or four nights. No one wanted to tell Coyote what they were looking at because they thought he would want to interfere.
One night Coyote asked the youngest wolf brother to tell him, and the youngest wolf said to the other wolves, "Let's tell Coyote what we see up there. He won't do anything.
"So they told him. "We see two animals up there. Way up there, where we cannot get to them." "Let's go up and see them," said Coyote. "Well, how can we do that?" "Oh, I can do that easy," said Coyote. "I can show you how to get up there without any trouble at all." Coyote gathered a great number of arrows and then began shooting them into the sky.
The first arrow stuck in the sky and the second arrow stuck in the first. Each arrow stuck in the end of the one before it like that until there was a ladder reaching down to the earth. "We can climb up now," said Coyote. The oldest wolf took his dog with him, and then the other four wolf brothers came, and then Coyote. They climbed all day and into the night.
All the next day they climbed. For many days and nights they climbed, until finally they reached the sky. They stood in the sky and looked over at the two animals the wolves had seen from below. They were two grizzly bears.
"Don't go near them," said Coyote. "They will tear you apart." But the two youngest wolves were already headed over. And the next two youngest wolves followed them. Only the oldest wolf held back. The wolves sat down and looked at the bears, and the bears sat there looking at the wolves. The oldest wolf, when he saw it was safe, came over to his dog and sat down with them.
Coyote wouldn't come over. He didn't trust the bears. "That makes a nice picture, though," thought Coyote. "They all look pretty good sitting there like that. I think I'll leave it that way for everyone to see. Then when people look at them in the sky they will say, 'There's a story about that picture,' and they will tell a story about me." So Coyote left it that way. He took out the arrows as he descended so there was no way for anyone to get back. From down on the earth Coyote admired the arrangement he had left up there.
Today they still look the same. They call those stars Big Dipper now. If you look up there you'll see that three wolves make up the handle and the oldest wolf, the one in the middle, still has his dog with him. The two youngest wolves make up the part of the bowl under the handle, and the two grizzlies make up the other side, the one that points toward the North Star. When Coyote saw how they looked, he wanted to put up a lot of stars. He arranged stars all over the sky in pictures and then made the Big Road across the sky with the stars he had left over. When Coyote was finished he called Meadowlark over.
"My brother," he said, "When I am gone, tell everyone that when they look up into the sky and see the stars arranged this way, I was the one who did that. That is my work."
Now Meadowlark tells that story about Coyote.
Told by Barry Lopez in 1977.

Literacy in Indigenous Communities by L. David van Broekhuizen, Ph.D. (2000)
HTML Format (70K)
PDF Format(117K)
Literacy in first languages in indigenous communities is a complex
topic that generates lively discussion. This research synthesis
explores the notions of national, mother-tongue, multiple, and
biliteracies. It presents important information pertaining to
threatened languages, language shift, and language loss. Examples of
culturally relevant uses of literacy in indigenous communities and
issues related to first-language literacy instruction are also
provided.
Essay on the Zuni World View
Excerpt(Complete article is available in PDF)
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?"
