Many work headdresses made of eagle feathers. Depends on the tribe; the person's clan, etc. A famous picture taken by Edward S. Curtis, depicted a warrior from wearing a buffalo headdress. This link should take you to that picture. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...<br>Reply:it was called a totem -witch depends on the Indian them self they could be what ever animal they chose to be from a bird to a cat to an eagel to a wild dog i forget what you call them -depends on the totem they choose<br>Reply:which tribe?<br>Reply:Native American Indian Feather Headdress<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The Golden Eagle feather was a prized mark of a honored warrior in many Native American cultures. This was not a decoration that could be bought. It was earned through hardship, loyalty and strength. To the Native Americans, the eagle was a messenger from God, and was often called the "thunderbird". The ultimate aim for most Indian boys was to prove himself brave enough and worthy enough to earn the right to wear an Eagle feather in his hair. This prized badge of honor was treasured and the feather would be cared for with as much attention as a a prized family heirloom.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In some tribes, earning a feather was a necessary act before the man could then take part in tribal councils or marry and have children. Even if a man participated in a heroic act to save his tribesmates, the feather was not just handed to him. If the act was determined to be significant enough, he first had to prepare himself for the honor of receiving the feather. This could involve several days of fasting and meditation before the actual feather acquisition.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Native Americans were extremely in tune with nature and would never waste any aspect of it. The warrior would explore his lands until he found a suitable nest with an adult eagle in it. He would then trap the eagle without harming it, and remove a single feather. He would then release the eagle back into the wild, thanking it for the gift.<br><br /><br />Read more at http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art1...<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/name3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Sheryllhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04054005666266456009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99141561145719406.post-70708704022624935382011-11-20T20:43:00.004-08:002011-11-20T20:43:44.466-08:00Here is the question for native American English speakers: which syllable is stressed in the name Isabel?I pronounce it IS-ah-bell so the stressed syllable is the first one.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/name1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Here is the question for native American English speakers: which syllable is stressed in the name Isabel?<br>in english:<br><br /><br />IS-a-bel<br><br /><br />in spanish:<br><br /><br />is-a-BEL<br>Reply:General (American) it's Pronounced iz ah bell , Stress on the IZ part.<br><br /><br />YES i said 'american' since we don't really speak english here.

Get it while you can.<br>Reply:It's a slap in the face for two reasons.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1. The Indians weren't just kicked off the land, they were rounded up and beaten, starved, raped, tortured, scalped and executed outright. This massacre lasted much longer than the holocaust and met with much less worldwide outrage.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />2. The land was and still is being ruined by industrial destruction of life including (but not limited to) deforestation, desertification, senseless hunting like fur trading and buffalo slaughter, monoculture, strip mining, oil drilling and "development".<br>Reply:Humans have a habit of naming that which they build, after that which they destroyed to build it.<br><br /><br />Look at the names of subdividisions and malls.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If it has the name of White oaks, Pine, Maple, or something else, you can pretty much imagine what was there before it turned into a mass of concrete.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If they named it for what it really was, fewer people would want to see it occur. If you named a subdividions "Rich People Who Hate Each Other Hollow", you probably woud see less of them being built.<br>Reply:I think it honors the memory.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Take Illinois for instance. Chief Black Hawk and his band of Salk murdered over a million people from the Mound building cultures like the Eastern Shoshone and the Illini. The Illini would be completely forgotten if it wasn't for the State being named after them.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The Alabama is another tribe that was almost forgotten. They only recently got recognized as a tribe, even though the State was named after them.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It is always a good thing to honor the past. Good or bad you can't change what happened but you can learn from it.<br>Reply:I think we have done to much for them by twisting history and making them look like peace loving people who were abused by the evil white man when in fact they were a savage and backward people<br><br /><br />They did not even have the wheel an did a fine job of killing each other long before the ''evil white'' came<br><br /><br />You well not find many of these peace loving people in northern Mexico as they were just shoot on sight<br><br /><br />Sean I'm sure you have met some blacks who claim that they are part Indian and they might be On the trail of tears there were over 2000 black slaves as the Indians would not do women's work and work the fields Just toke what they wanted If they like your women and they could they just toke her<br>Reply:It was meant in a complimentary way. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Those who read American history and think the relations between Whites and Native Americans were always bad are misinformed. It was simply a clash of cultures, and the White culture was more technologically advanced, so it won the day.<br>Reply:No, the terminology for particular swaths of geography and geomorphic features was adopted by the Europeans from the years of traditional usage of those terms.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The same is true for the nomenclature in Mexico, Central America and South America, albeit with some spelling changes...<br>Reply:It would cost millions to rename everything in Minnesota... Many of the lakes and features in the state are named after the Indian language name for them because thats what the explorers first learned the lake or feature as.<br>Reply:Both the US took all of Native land by the way for real as the reservation is not treated as an independent nation despite the references in the Constitution making them as such.<br>Reply:A lot of them were already named before the US took over those territories. I don't think it was the other way around. Mississippi is "great Water" in Native American... I think Iroquios.<br>Reply:i wouldn't be to worried about some tribes.they are having the last laugh.casinos are popping up everywhere.<br>Reply:More like doing it to suit themselves. That's like Santa Fe style being considered hip. As long as the tribes keep making big wampum off ignorant palefaces in their casinos, I doubt they care.<br>Reply:An odd measure of respect after so much disrespect? Wierd, for sure.

The Land O' Lakes package was central to a prank practiced among American school children for many decades. First, the lower three sides of the box which the Indian girl holds in front of her are incised with a sharp knife, so as to make a flap which can be lifted. Then the lower part of the box can be rolled up so that the knees show through the opening, or the knees can be cut off of another image of the maiden (each box bore several images) then pasted to the reverse side of the first, cut-out image. When the flap is lifted, it appears that the girl's breasts are exposed. This was sometimes called the "Indian butter trick." <br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/name1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Does the native-american woman on the front of land-o-lakes butter have a name?<br>The now-famous Indian maiden was created during the search for a brand name and trademark. Because the regions of Minnesota and Wisconsin were the legendary land of Hiawatha and Minnehaha, the idea of an Indian maiden took form. In 1928, Land O'Lakes received a painting of an Indian maiden facing the viewer and holding a butter carton. <br>Reply:There is no name yet. The Land O Lake Inc is having a contest to come up with a name.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://www.landolakesinc.com/corporate/h...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In the early 1920s, a cooperative was formed that had new ideas about making butter. In those days, most butter was made from sour cream and sold in tubs. This new cooperative made butter from fresh, sweet cream and sold it in one-pound packages with individually wrapped sticks. It soon became the standard for butter quality and helped implement grading regulations for the industry.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />That cooperative was Land O鈥橪akes. The organization was incorporated on July 8,1921 as the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association. In 1924, as the fledgling organization set its sights on market expansion, it realized it needed a brand name and trademark for its butter. So a contest was held to choose a name. The prize? $500 in gold, reflecting the golden color of butter.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Two contestants, Mrs. E.B. Foss and Mr. George L. Swift, created the winning name 鈥?Land O鈥橪akes, a tribute to Minnesota鈥檚 sparkling lakes. The name became so popular that in 1926 the cooperative changed its corporate name to Land O鈥橪akes Creameries, Inc., and later to Land O鈥橪akes, Inc.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Birth of the Indian Maiden<br><br /><br />The now-famous Indian maiden began as a painting in 1928. Reflecting the Native American heritage of the Upper Midwest, it showed an Indian maiden facing the viewer and holding a butter carton and surrounded by lakes, pines, flowers and grazing cows. That painting inspired a new design for the butter carton, and remained until the spring of 1939, when it was simplified and modernized by Jess Betlach, a nationally recognized illustrator.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Decades later, with only minor changes, his design continues to capture the goodness and quality of LAND O LAKES庐 brand dairy products from butter to cheese, deli cheese to foodservice sauces, school-lunch macaroni and cheese to dairy ingredients for other food processors.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Butter was just the beginning<br><br /><br />Dedicated to helping its members produce top-quality milk, eggs, meat and crops, almost from the start, Land O鈥橪akes began providing them with feed, animal milk replacers, seed and crop nutrients and crop protection products. This was done primarily through a network of farmer-owned local agricultural cooperatives throughout rural America.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Not only did Land O鈥橪akes provide excellent products, it also provided some of the finest livestock and crop production expertise available. Its ag products and services are backed by extensive research and development at its facilities near St. Louis, Mo., and Fort Dodge, Iowa.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Since those early days, Land O鈥橪akes has grown to be the largest feed company in North America, the world leader in animal milk replacers and alfalfa seed and the largest distributor of agronomy products in the United States.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Despite this growth, Land O鈥橪akes remains committed to helping America鈥檚 farmers and ranchers produce the best milk, livestock and crops through research and development, one-on-one consultation and the finest crop and livestock production products on the market.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> Privacy Statement P.O.

I hope that you can find the information you seek! I would suggest looking at the link from the University of Virginia first, however, as this takes you to a huge, extensive, gigantic database with an unbelievable amount of information on all sorts of topics. They have a whole bunch of full text e-books and some even are regular books that have been scanned in, even some rare historical documents.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In any case, the link to my compiled list is below under "Sources".

They had to call it something.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/name1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>If the name America is European, what does American Indian really mean? or Native American?<br>I'll answer your question with a quote from an Indian.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />As an Indian - a direct descendant of the Comanche warrior Bad Eagle, 1839-1906 - I’ve always been fascinated with foreigners. I’ve admired their great courage and determination. They made a perilous journey from their homeland. They learned a new language, and new ways, all in a new land.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />(“Indian”? Naturally, most tribes prefer their own name. But that’s in their own language, and no one but themselves would know of whom they speak. There is no collective name for “Indians” in any tribal language. The modern term "Native American," created in the 1970s by leftists, is ambiguous. Most Indian people don't use it - only what I call the "university tribe," college-educated Indians led by white radical professors; and the would-be politically correct media. The name we first held, in the white man's eyes, was "Indian." That's what we have been since Columbus. That's what our most famous warriors were called. Believe me, Indians prefer the name “Indian.” It is historically specific, whatever its origin. The name holds the emotional, psychological associations of the warrior. The Left, of course, wants to remove that. Hey, call me savage!)<br>Reply:America was named after Amerigo Vespucci, The Spanish called the inhabitants " Indians" ,As they thought they were in the East Indies,<br><br /><br />Native Americans was a politically correct name for the People that were here when the Europeans came, I don't think many were asked any questions before being shot.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Edit,<br><br /><br />Dr . David A Yeagley, is an enrolled member of the Comanche Tribe, because his Adoptive mother is Comanche, And he enrolled because she was named as his Mother.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Yeagley The Indian Apple!<br><br /><br />http://www.bluecorncomics.com/yeagley.ht...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />What real Comanches think about him.<br>Reply:that early sailors had sucky compuses<br>Reply:The Lakota people I know would rather be called Lakota, or by the specific tribe. Just a guess, but probably similar for others as well.<br>Reply:swd<br>Reply:They don't call themselves that. We call them that. They call themselves by their nation or, for lack of a better word, tribe.. such as Sioux, Cherokee, Algonquin, Shawnee, Cree....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The indigineous people to this land weren't united in one huge confederacy. There separate nations and tribes spread all over the place. Current borders meant nothign then, they did not exist.<br>Reply:A nation and a tribe are different. Each nation had a name for there territory. There wasn't a name for the whole United States.<br>Reply:The answer may be that the settlers have succeeded in subjugating them. But the settlers qualify themselves as well.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It means that there are two types of "American", that is - qualified Americans and Americans.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The qualified Americans include:<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Native Americans; African Americans; Irish Americans; English Americans; Muslim Americans; Scottish Americans; Asian Americans; Anglo Americans ["Americans" plus English people, but not Welsh, Scottish nor Irish people?]; Italian Americans; Chinese Americans; Greek Americans and so on...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The Americans, of course always include the "real Americans" who qualify the other type. Some of them contribute to Yahoo! Answers in a stereotyped style which seems to devalue what the USA is asserted to stand for.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />There is no perfect resolution of all this, and the issue exists in the UK of GB and NI as well. Nobody should feel inclined nor obliged to apply nor accept such qualification anywhere in the world. My country is of relatively ancient origin compared to the USA and has itself a shameful history of imperial English expansion within the British Isles.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The United Kingdom could be described as essentially an English empire which perpetrated over millennia the same type of crimes as the settlers in the New World have perfected more recently.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />So maybe qualified Americans are much happier when distinguishing themselves from the oppressors - but they should be respected and allowed to use there own names for themselves and not any imposed by European immigrants and their descendants.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In truth the description of people as Americans has to include the people of the the whole of the north and south American continents. José Martí (my hero) called that "our America".<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Usanian might be a less racist description for the people of the USA. As might be Ukanian for the people of the UK of GB and NI?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/name3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Sheryllhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04054005666266456009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99141561145719406.post-415477502878640712011-11-20T20:40:00.002-08:002011-11-20T20:40:40.166-08:00I'm looking for the name of print .

I think there were a lot of treaties back in the day, so if there were more than one that's okay, I just want to know some names. Thanks!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/name2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>What is the name of the treaty that gives Native Americans money each month?<br>"Contrary to popular belief, Indians do not receive payments from the Federal Government simply because they have Indian blood. Funds distributed to a person of Indian descent may represent income from his/her own property collected for him/her by an agent of the United States government. Other disbursements to individuals may represent compensation for lands taken in connection with governmental projects, comparable to payments made to non-Indians for the acquisition of land for governmental purposes. Some Indian tribes receive income from the utilization of tribal timber and other reservation resources, a percentage of which may be distributed as per capita among the tribe's members. Individual tribal members also share in the money paid to the tribes by the Federal Government in fulfillment of treaty obligations. Money available for payments belongs either to the tribe or to an individual and is held in trust by the Federal Government. In this event, the Federal Government issues checks in making payment to individuals or to the tribes." <br><br /><br />http://www.bia.edu/bie/faq/scholar_info....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Here's an interesting site on payments made in cloth<br><br /><br />http://www.onondagalakepeacefestival.org...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />an interesting court case regarding payments<br><br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seminole_Na...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"Contrary to popular belief, people do not receive a special payment from the Federal Government merely because they have Indian blood. Money received by a person of Indian blood may represent income from his own property collected for him by an agent of the United States. Alternately funds may have been paid as a disbursement from a compensation decision by the Indian Claims Commission or the Court of Claims on a tribal claim for fair payment for lands taken many years ago or in connection with more recent governmental projects comparable to payments made to non-Indians for taking land for governmental purposes. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Some Indian tribes receive income from the use of tribal timber and other reservation resources, a percentage of which may be distributed per capita among the tribal members. Individual tribal members also share in the money paid and material furnished to tribes by the United States Government, in fulfillment of treaty obligations. Money available for payments belongs either to the tribe or to the individual and is held in trust by the United States Government. Therefore, government checks are issued in making the payment even though the money does not belong to the United States. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />To be eligible for payments from tribal funds, a person -- in addition to possessing Indian blood -- must be a recognized member of an Indian tribe whose money is being distributed. Generally, the responsibility for establishing this membership lies with the individual. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Eligibility may depend upon proof of blood relationship to a parent, but sometimes requires tracing relationship to a grandparent, or great grandparent whose name appeared on a membership or census roll of the tribe or on a payment roll used in making a previous per capita distribution of money to its members."<br><br /><br />http://www.gregathcompany.com/indianance...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br>Reply:It is called casinos, known as the ka-ching-ga act. <br><br /><br />I do not believe there is such an act. They are considered sovereign nations which I think is what you are actually referring to. They also get funding as they have their own government, fire, police and other services but I still don't think they individually get money from the government. If they got money, I would think they would be living better than what they are doing now.<br>Reply:The mistake in your question is the wrong assumption that all indians are one. Each separate tribe would have had a separate or allied peace treaty with the US Government so that there is not 1 treaty to look up, but hundreds.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />One example of such a treaty would be the Treaty of Greenville, which was signed in 1795 after US forces under General Anthony Wayne defeated a coalition of Indian tribes which secured the rights of US settlers to homestead in the Ohio Country in exchange for goods in the amount of $20,000.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Other examples include:<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Treaty of Fort Laramie <br><br /><br />Treaty of Chicago<br><br /><br />Treaty of Prairie du Chien<br><br /><br />Treaty of Vincennes<br><br /><br />Treaty of Tippecanoe<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />whale<br>Reply:first of all the government doesn't give us money. there are treaties that exchange education and health care and mineral and other rights from resources on the lands for lands ceeded to the government. unfortunately most people forget that the usa has never ever kept the terms to even one treaty although they are very good at keeping the parts where they get the land. when it comes to giving native people the payment part...they have a million excuses and crooks who "loose" billions of dollars of indian money.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />its time americans get their history and facts straight.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />oh and for those who love to rant about native owned casinos, stop being hypocrits. close down atlantic city and las vegas and stop going to all casinos.<br>Reply:Damn, which tribe is that? MAybe they'll adopt me, because my tribe gets SQUAT. Perhaps you should write an essay about how the government rarely holds up their end of any of the treaties? Research the Boldt decision, it was one of the most influential in West Coast NAtive American history. A non-native supremem court judge actually sided with my tribe on a treaty rights issue! Montana though...hmm..contact a local tribe there. Here, I'll give you the phone number for one if you'll give me a minute...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />the blackfeet were the first to pop into my mind (they have a really hott lawyer who visits my tribe from time to time...hehe) http://www.blackfeetnation.com/<br>Reply:There isn't one specific treaty. Each tribe has been treated differently and many don't get much. Since tribes also hold land in common on a reservation, individual members rarely benefit from either tribe or federal assistance. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br>Reply:we're giving them money ???<br>Reply:Where did you ever get an idea like that? When you find the name of that treaty, please email it to me. I have never gotten a check and the govt. must owe me a bunch of money!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/name3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>Sheryllhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04054005666266456009noreply@blogger.com0
