Cultural property belongs to the cultural group, rather than to an individual. As an individual has the right to control use of his/her property, the cultural group has the right to control the use of its property. Not all people recognize cultural property. As a result some individuals will use another group's cultural properties without permission; often that use is offensive to the cultural group, because their property is used in a way th Read More Go to Site

My name is Dawson Her Many Horses. I am a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe of south central South Dakota. I am a student at Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. New surroundings always take some time to get used to, and Amherst was no exception. South Dakota, except for the Black Hills, is, for all purposes, flat. Western Mass., on the other hand, is not. At times, I find myslef missing the flat horizons and open sky of South Dakota (when I first moved here, I had no sense of direction because of the trees).

A Millenia of Co-Existence The Dineh (Navajo) and Hopi have been the inhabitants of the Four Corners region since time immemorial. The Hopi way of life - living in pueblos atop the mesas and farming the arid land - was harmonious with the rhythms of the desert. Beyond the Hopi mesas Dineh sheepherders moved with the seasons between summer and winter settlements, living in accordance with ancient traditions. The Dineh and Hopi regularly interacted, exchanging food, weavings, pottery, and silver jewelry. Intermarriage between the peoples was not uncommon, all Read More Go to Site

		First Nations/First Peoples Issues ^Votes:0 NOTE: As of 12.96 the Editor of Indian Country Today has stated the following: "At Indian Country Today we use internet sources as potential leads for stories. We carefully check the sources and authenticate information. We do not consider much of the internet as a factual source. Indian Country Today will no longer visit the [First Nations] web site ... because of [its] continued proliferation of gossip, rumor and innuendo in their misguided attempt to support American Indian issues. ...misleading and misinformed sources may harm innocent people and cause others unnecessary anguish. " In light of the Editor's antipathy towards Leonard Peltier , AIM and Peter Matthiessen , and his support for the FBI , I consider his declaration an endorsement of this site's veracity. 12.17.96, J Read More Go to Site

		Frozen Diamonds and 350,000 Caribou ^Votes:0 FROZEN DIAMONDS by Jani Roberts c95 The caribou, the untamed reindeer of North America, walked the frozen lake from pine marked shores to iced horizon, heading north to the Arctic Ocean, while, beside me a black-haired Dene woman ignored the familiar sight of antlered deer to scrutinise a photo of uncut diamonds. She asked: "Is that what diamonds look like?" She went to a cabinet in the corner of her wooden home and brought out a glass container in which there were small stones. She sprinkled them on the table in front of me and her daughter reached out and picked up one. It was small, misty white, crystalline. "Is this a diamond?" she asked. I did not know. It did resemble some uncut stones I had seen in the diamond cutting workshops of New York's 47th Street and 5th A Read More Go to Site
