The SilverWolf Horse and Pack Animal Sanctuary is a division of the
Cherokee
River Indian Community while being a stand-alone 501c3 non-profit
corporation. All gifts to SilverWolf Horse Sanctuary are tax deductible
according to IRS rules. It is our desire not only to rescue horses and
pack
animals from poor/unsafe living conditions and to provide good homes to
animals that owners have outgrown but also to provide our Native young
people the opportunity to learn and better themselves in the Community.
The
Sanctuary provides many means for accomplishing this goal. We usually
pair
our Youth with our Elders, making a great team to help students learn
responsibility in caring for large animals; they also keep apprised of
opportunities for rescue over the World Wide Web. SilverWolf conducts
research on up to date horse care, training, feeding, communication,
veterinary care, and innovative equine maintenance techniques. Students
are
encouraged to participate in all areas of our rescue and adoption
programs.
SilverWolf has rescued 16 horses and burros and have successfully
adopted
out 11 horses, three horses died or were put down by our veterinarian
from
the extreme abuse they were subjected to by their owners and there are
two
that are of old age that will remain here at the Sanctuary to live out
their
lives in peace and comfort.
SilverWolf currently has on-staff two experienced horse trainers and an
equestrian magazine author who is active in Equestrian sports. These
staff
members and numerous volunteers put in unlimited hours as needed at the
sanctuary. Our three full time volunteer contribute an average 32 hours
each
a week. We also have many other volunteers including high school
students
that work at least once a week.
SilverWolf Sanctuary collaborates with T.E.A.R.S. an animal rescue
group in
Birmingham, AL.
SilverWolf's newest project is to acquire as many breeding ponies as
possible to try to save the ponies for our kids to ride. Most of these
animals were sold to killer buyers when the price of horsemeat was so
high a
few years back. We plan to raise and train the ponies and adopt them
out
just as we do our other animals.
Please contact this office for more information. If you need immediate
help
with a rescue and can not reach one of us call 911or your local
Sheriff's
Department.
SilverWolf Horse Sanctuary
A 501(c)3 non-profit charity

Donations are Tax deductible. We will mail you a tax-deductible
receipt.

"HOME: Native People in the Southwest" at the Heard Museum: The Heard ends a yearlong celebration of its 75th anniversary by opening a huge new gallery that houses a larger and improved exhibition of Southwestern Native American art. The new exhibition organizes 2,000 objects by tribe instead of type, includes maps of each tribe's ancestral and modern lands, information about their history, and excerpts of interviews with living members of the tribe. The result is that "HOME" feels less like a showcase of treasures amassed on the cheap by rich white people and more like an explanation of the still-living cultures that produced them. Through 2020. Heard Museum, 2301 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, 602-252-8848.

Creation of the World - Russian / Unangan
The Raven and his wife created the world. They made the cape of Uñi´sak
out
of a nose of an eider-duck (Somatheria spectabilis); the peninsula of
Alaska, of a long belt-knife; and the island Ima´lik (one of the
Diomedes),
of a button of the scabbard (with which it is clasped around the hip).
They
made reindeer of their hair, and dogs of their nails, and sea-water of
their
urine.
Told by Ñ?pe´wgi, an Asiatic Eskimo man, in the village of Uñi´sak, at
Indian Point, May, 1901.
Footnotes
p. 424
1 This fragment seems to include material from two different sources, -
one
belonging to the Raven cycle, and probably borrowed from the Chukchee;
the
other referring to the creation of Uñi´sak and Alaska, undoubtedly
Eskimo.

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.
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?"
