Chickasaw Summer Arts Academy announced
ADA - Students across the Chickasaw Nation are signing up for two weeks of exploration into the arts. Participants will benefit from instruction by professional composers, dancers, artists, performers and writers during the first Chickasaw Summer Arts Academy. The academy, conducted from June 13-24, will be on the campus of East Central University.
Operated by the Chickasaw Nation Division of Arts and Humanities, the academy offers classes in visual arts, drama, dance, literary arts and music. Component sessions will enable students, 10-19 years of age, to explore the myriad of different opportunities in the fields of art.
The music component features a young composer class instructed by Jerod Impichaachaaha Tate, Chickasaw citizen. Tate is dedicated to the development of American Indian classical compositions and is currently Composer-In-Residence for the Grand Canyon Music Festival's Native American Composer Apprentice Program.

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 Proves Himself A Cannibal - Apache
Owl was the one who had arrows. He had a club also with which he killed men whom he ate. "Up at the low gap I am watching for men, wu hwu wo," he sang. Coyote came walking along in front of him. " Wu hwu wo," sang Owl, " I am looking for men in the low gap." The two came face to face there. "Now," said Owl, "the one who vomits human flesh will kill men." "Very well," said Coyote, "shut your eyes." Owl shut his eyes. When he vomited, Coyote put his hand under and took the meat. The grasshoppers which Coyote vomited he put in Owl's hand.
"Now open your eyes," said Coyote. Owl looked and saw the grasshoppers lying in his hand. Coyote showed him the meat. "What did I tell you," said Coyote, "this is the meat I threw up." "Where did I drink in the grasshoppers?" said Owl.
Coyote ran all around Owl. "Because I run fast like this I eat people," said Coyote. "These legs of yours are too large, I will fix them for you. Shut your eyes." Coyote cut Owl's leg, trimming away the meat. He broke his leg with a stone and took the arrows away leaving him only the club.
Coyote ran around Owl who threw his club at him. He would say, "Come back, my club," and it would come back to him. He threw it again. "Come here, my club," he called. He hit him with it. Coyote said, "Wherever a stick falls when one throws it there it will lie." The club did not return to Owl.
"Now you will live right here in the canyon where many arrows will be in front of you. Somebody might kill you," Coyote told him. Owl hitched himself along into the canyon. "Arrows painted black may kill you," said Coyote. Coyote went around in front of him and shot him with his own (Owl's) arrows.
After that everybody was afraid of Coyote, who went around killing off the people.

Coyote Reads the Letter As He Sits - Apache / White Mountain
All the shamans were holding a council at the Sun's house. They were all there. When they were through holding the council, they got a paper from above. On it were written words, just like a letter. The shamans wanted to read the letter and know what it said. One of them said he would try. They had a chair there and they told him to sit in it and take the paper. The shaman sat down and took the paper. He looked it all over, but could not read it. Then another shaman sat down and tried, but without success. One after another they sat in the chair and tried to read the paper, but could not. Finally Coyote, who was a shaman, was the only one left They said, "You ought to be able to read this paper. Coyote." Coyote sat down in the chair and took the paper. He looked at it a while and then started to read it. He rested his head on one hand and held the paper before him with the other hand. Coyote read the paper right off without trouble. He knew how.

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?"
[105].
Prayer at sunrise

Your long life, (yam onaya naka)
Your old age, (yam lha shiaka)
Your waters, (yam kashima)
Your seeds, (yam towashonane)
Your riches, (yam u/tenane)
Your power, (yam sawanikia)

All these to me may you grant, (temlha hom to anikchiana).
