Is there any good learning apps to fully learn the Seneca Language?
Hi there, can anybody suggest me any publisher that is only focused on Native American Writers? Or, which is helpful as well, some books (both fiction and non-fiction, proses or poems, anything is fine to me) or Native American Writers? I already read Natalie Diaz and I woud like to know more.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS! <3
I'm in Treaty 6 territory in Saskatchewan. Many bands are finally getting there "Cows n Plows". Any other treaty territories getting there's yet? Anybody more educated on the subject like to clarify and expand upon the Agricultural Benefit Settlement some bands are getting?
Hi all, i am a white man and I recently watched this movie and read the book, but I couldn’t help but wondering if Native American tribe members think they got everything they deserve. This movie was made for 200 million and is currently starting to make money. Do Native American people think they should get a cut of this money? Are they happy with the portrayal? I just found the story and movie somewhat ironic. White men come to the native Americans, learn from the native Americans, take what they learn, then try to make money off it while not cutting the Native American tribes into the money. In someways the movie is doing the same thing. I was interested in hearing a native Americans take on how they felt after the movie. I really appreciate it!
I bought a dagger made from a deer bone when I was 11, which I considered to be the coolest thing ever at the time. Sadly, I somehow lost it when my family and I moved (hate when you lose things while moving). But it was still super cool.
This is just a question that popped in my head today (65 year old white woman) that I’ve never heard addressed, in my education. I think it takes a fair amount of time to tan hides and assemble garments. And, from what I’ve read, Native Americans tended to have fewer children than the white people who came to the West. So my question is, did Native American moms trade articles of clothing with each other, as their kids out grew a size? And for adults, did one set of clothes last for many years, (I’m thinking leather) or did people expect to make a new outfit every couple of years? Thank you!
Okay so I did one half of a drum making workshop. Here are the factors involved:
The teacher is Native, but unable to get her papers since her family either lost them or never got them
She was taught by Native people to teach others to make drums
However, she also kept bringing up her part travels as a missionary, kind of as if she thought it was cool?
She kinda did the "The Great Spirit, or God, or the energy, or however you want to call it" thing, which vibed with me wrong
Are these issues? If so, any suggestions on courses of action for the birthing ceremony? The drum so far is beautiful; any suggestions on what to do with it?
Any questions I'm happy to answer, if it's relevant I didn't seek this out myself, my dad wanted me to do it with him. I tried my best to be respectful and fully engaged with the spiritual aspects, and I have Native family but they're married in and never taught me much (I've felt awkward about asking).
Thank you for your time, I hope I'm not intruding.
Naw (hello in my language),
I just created a subreddit for Coastal Salish people and for anyone who wants to learn about our beautiful culture and community. Remember that the Coastal Salish is a large linguistic/cultural group of tribes and First Nations from the PNW: WA, OR, and BC. Feel free to post art, stories, knowledge, and anything you feel is appropriate to share. Make sure your posts are appropriate and inclusive (this is a learning environment).

How long did the marriage last?
