The Indian Journal
December 23, 2011 18:01:30The media has never been fair and balanced when it comes to serving Indian people and reporting on events which impact Indian lives. Many Indian leaders have felt that it is critical for Indians to have media which they control. One example of Indian media can be seen in The Indian Journal, a newspaper born in Indian Territory (later known as Oklahoma).
In 1876, Cherokee leader William Potter Ross began publication of the Indian Journal at Muskogee, Indian Territory. However, a... - [Read more] |
"The Christmas Coat: Memories of Sioux Childhood"
December 22, 2011 03:18:55"The frigid gale blew sideways across the South Dakota prairie, and cold rain lashed the childrens bare faces. They leaned into it to stay upright on the reservation road to school."

Suppressing Indian Journalism
December 18, 2011 06:33:22While reservations were lands which were initially reserved for exclusive Indian use, the United States has often administered these lands with the intention of assimilating the Indians into American culture. In dealing with the Indian nations, which the Constitution and the Supreme Court had declared to be sovereign entities known as "domestic dependent nations," the United States government preferred to establish totalitarian dictatorships and to destroy any remnant of aboriginal democracy.... - [Read more] |
A Yavapai Messiah
December 15, 2011 17:40:24When cultures are under stress, particularly when that stress is coming from forced change outside of the control of the people in the culture, a messiah or prophet may emerge who will provide a religious solution to the problems. In 1875, the Yavapai were forced by the United States government to walk from their homelands to the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona, a distance of nearly 200 miles. San Carlos had been established as a reservation for the Apache and the United States mistakenly... - [Read more] |
The Yavapai and Initial Contact with the Americans
December 13, 2011 17:12:23In 1851, the U.S. Army sent out an exploratory party into northern Arizona. The Yavapai response to this party was to flee and stay out of sight. In one instance, the American scouts surprised a Yavapai party gathering piñon nuts. The Indians immediately fled and then watched from a distant hill as the invaders plundered their camp. When the Americans encountered a second abandoned camp, they left a tobacco offering instead of looting it.
Two years later, an American group... - [Read more] |
The Earthlodge
September 20, 2011 15:24:44A common stereotype is that American Indians lived in tipis. In fact, relatively few Indian nations utilized this type of housing: it was a type of housing found primarily in the Great Plains. Among the Indian nations who live along the Missouri River in the Dakotas, the primary form of housing was the earthlodge.

American Deception in California
September 18, 2011 01:33:54United States military forces occupied California during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). In 1850 California was admitted to the Union as a free state, that is, a state in which slavery was supposedly prohibited. However, the concept of free did not apply to the Indians who lived in the state and they soon encountered American deception at both the federal and state levels.
