THE WOMEN/Edward S. Curtis
"THE WOMEN/Edward S. Curtis," by Christopher Cardozo; foreword by Louise Erdrich (Bulfinch Press, $35) — Cardozo, who lives in Minneapolis, is the world's foremost expert on, and collector of, photos of American Indians taken by turn-of-the-century photographer Edward S. Curtis. Cardozo went through 1,000 photos to find the 100 sepia-toned images in this book, which show the daily lives of American Indian women at a time when most were already on reservations. Minneapolis novelist and poet Erdrich discusses women's work in her foreword: " … although Edward Curtis believed that he was documenting a vanishing culture, it is in these humble arts that the strength of Native culture lives on."
The continuing adventures of little bear
A long time ago there was a warrior and his name is little bear and he was a storyteller each morning he arose and would tell a story to his village.
One day the village had some guests, they asked little bear if he would come to their villages and tell stories and he said that he would.
Soon he was telling the stories to many villages, he would rise before dawn and start to visit all of the villages at times he would arrive at his village way after his village had gone to sleep.
At first all of the villages thank him for doing this. Then they forgot to thank the story teller but he kept on telling stories to them.
After saying he was going to stop telling the stories the villages begged him to not to stop.
Now it is 2 years later and little bear is still doing his daily rounds. All this time his village suffered.
A now little bear is back at his fire in front of his lodge in his village. Here he tells the stories and the messengers went to all of the villages and told them if they wanted to learn the legends that needed to come to little bears village there he would continue to tell his stories.

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?"
