We Are Here to Heal
We are the hands that mend the land,
Not fists that strike or burn the sand.
Our songs are prayers, our breath is peace,
We walk with earth - our sacred lease.
We are the heart that love sustains,
The voice that soothes another’s pains.
Not made to hate, nor made to fight,
But born to guard the sacred light.
The trees remember, the rivers know,
That healing is the way we grow.
For every wound the world has cried,
Our spirit stands - unbroken, tied.
We are here to heal, not harm,
To love, not hate, to calm the storm.
To build, not break - our truth, our core,
We are the peace this world longs for.

During the filming of *Dances with Wolves* (1990), Floyd Westerman brought a deeply personal connection to his portrayal of Ten Bears, the wise Lakota elder. Growing up on the Lake Traverse Reservation, Westerman infused the role with authenticity, blending his own life experiences with the character’s cultural depth. His standout moment came during the scene where Ten Bears examines John Dunbar’s journal, where his subtle but powerful performance conveyed trust, skepticism, and wisdom with minimal dialogue. Westerman’s background as a musician and Native American activist added another layer of depth to the role, making him an ideal choice for portraying Ten Bears, as it was about more than just acting—it was about honoring the spirit of the Lakota people.
Westerman’s dedication to cultural authenticity was evident in his preparation for the role. He spent weeks learning the Lakota language, ensuring he delivered every line with fluency and respect. On set, he served as a cultural guide, educating the cast and crew about Lakota traditions and history, even offering advice on portraying sacred rituals, such as the buffalo hunt scene. His contributions extended beyond his acting, as he also suggested ways to make Ten Bears' environment more realistic, such as the arrangement of buffalo hides in his tipi. Westerman's commitment to authenticity, along with his ability to convey complex emotions through minimal words, made his portrayal of Ten Bears unforgettable. His legacy lives on, as his performance remains one of the film’s most powerful and culturally significant element

This map should be included in every history book...
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy.

By the age of 10, most children in the United States have been taught all 50 states that make up the country. But centuries ago, the land that is now the United States was a very different place. Over 20 million Native Americans dispersed across over 1,000 distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups populated the territory.
The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in North America about 15 thousand years ago. As a result, a wide diversity of communities, societies, and cultures finally developed on the continent over the millennia.The population figure for Indigenous peoples in the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus was 70 million or more.
About 562 tribes inhabited the contiguous U.S. territory. Ten largest North American Indian tribes: Arikara, Cherokee, Iroquois, Pawnee, Sioux, Apache, Eskimo, Comanche, Choctaw, Cree, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Navajo, Seminole, Hope, Shoshone, Mohican, Shawnee, Mi’kmaq, Paiute, Wampanoag, Ho-Chunk, Chumash, Haida.
Below is the tribal map of Pre-European North America.
The old map below gives a Native American perspective by placing the tribes in full flower ~ the “Glory Days.” It is pre-contact from across the eastern sea or, at least, before that contact seriously affected change. Stretching over 400 years, the time of contact was quite different from tribe to tribe. For instance, the “Glory Days” of the Maya and Aztec came to an end very long before the interior tribes of other areas, with some still resisting almost until the 20th Century.
At one time, numbering in the millions, the native peoples spoke close to 4,000 languages.
The Americas’ European conquest, which began in 1492, ended in a sharp drop in the Native American population through epidemics, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, and slavery.
When the United States was founded, established Native American tribes were viewed as semi-independent nations, as they commonly lived in communities separate from white immigrants.
“The Map That Should Have Been in Every Book”
This map breathes —
not ink on paper,
but bloodlines and voices
woven through rivers and roots.
Before borders carved the earth,
these lands had names that sang:
Navajo, Haida, Lakota,
Carib, Maya, Shawnee.
Every mountain had a memory,
every lake, a legend;
the wind itself spoke
in a thousand mother tongues.
Yet the classrooms stayed silent,
and the children learned
that discovery began with ships—
not with hearts that already belonged.
If only this map hung
in every school, every home,
perhaps the world would remember
who first called this land Mother.
Let them see the colors of the tribes,
the stories drawn in smoke and soil,
and know:
the map was never lost —
only hidden.

The True Wealth
We were not poor beneath the sky,
Though coins and castles passed us by.
Our riches ran through earth and stream,
A living, breathing, sacred dream.
We found our happiness in things
That nature gives and freely brings.
The running deer, the mountain air,
The wisdom that the elders share.
Our hands took only what they must,
A life of balance and deep trust.
The forest floor was our domain,
We held our honor, not for gain.
For contentment is the purest gold,
A story the new world left untold

Quanah Parker was the last Chief of the Commanches and never lost a battle to the white man. His tribe roamed over the area where Pampas stands. He was never captured by the Army, but decided to surrender and lead his tribe into the white man's culture, only when he saw that there was no alternative.
His was the last tribe in the Staked Plains to come into the reservation system.
Quanah, meaning "fragrant," was born about 1850, son of Comanche Chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white girl taken captive during the 1836 raid on Parker's Fort, Texas. Cynthia Ann Parker was recaptured, along with her daughter, during an 1860 raid on the Pease River in northwest Texas. She had spent 24 years among the Comanche, however, and thus never readjusted to living with the whites again.
She died in Anderson County, Texas, in 1864 shortly after the death of her daughter, Prairie Flower. Ironically, Cynthia Ann's son would adjust remarkably well to living among the white men. But first he would lead a bloody war against them.
Quanah and the Quahada Comanche, of whom his father, Peta Nocona had been chief, refused to accept the provisions of the 1867 Treaty of Medicine Lodge, which confined the southern Plains Indians to a reservation, promising to clothe the Indians and turn them into farmers in imitation of the white settlers.
Knowing of past lies and deceptive treaties of the "White man", Quanah decided to remain on the warpath, raiding in Texas and Mexico and out maneuvering Army Colonel Ronald S. Mackenzie and others. He was almost killed during the attack on buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. The U.S. Army was relentless in its Red River campaign of 1874-75. Quanah's allies, the Quahada were weary and starving.
Mackenzie sent Jacob J. Sturm, a physician and post interpreter, to solicit the Quahada's surrender. Sturm found Quanah, whom he called "a young man of much influence with his people," and pleaded his case. Quanah rode to a mesa, where he saw a wolf come toward him, howl and trot away to the northeast. Overhead, an eagle "glided lazily and then whipped his wings in the direction of Fort Sill," in the words of Jacob Sturm. This was a sign, Quanah thought, and on June 2, 1875, he and his band surrendered at Fort Sill in present-day Oklahoma

American Horse – A Shrewd Sioux Chief
One of the wittiest and shrewdest of the Sioux chiefs was American Horse, who succeeded to the name and position of an uncle, killed in the battle of Slim Buttes in 1876. The younger American Horse was born a little before the encroachments of the whites upon the Sioux country became serious and their methods aggressive, and his early manhood brought him into that most trying and critical period of our history. He had been tutored by his uncle since his own father was killed in battle while he was still very young. The American Horse band was closely attached to a trading post, and its members, in consequence, were inclined to be friendly with the whites, a policy closely adhered to by their leader.
When he was born, his old grandfather said: “Put him out in the sun! Let him ask his great-grandfather, the Sun, for the warm blood of a warrior!” And he had warm blood. He was a genial man, liking notoriety and excitement. He always seized an opportunity to leap into the center of the arena.
In early life, he was a clownish sort of boy among the boys —an expert mimic and impersonator. This talent made him popular and in his way a leader. He was a natural actor, and early showed marked ability as a speaker.
American Horse was about ten years old when he was attacked by three Crow warriors while driving a herd of ponies to water. Here he displayed native cunning and initiative. It seemed he had scarcely a chance to escape, for the enemy was near. He yelled frantically at the ponies to start them toward home, while he dropped off into a thicket of willows and hid there.
A part of the herd was caught in sight of the camp and there was a counter chase, but the Crows got away with the ponies. Of course, his mother was frantic, believing her boy had been killed or captured; but after the excitement was over, he appeared in camp unhurt. When questioned about his escape, he remarked: “I knew they would not take the time to hunt for small game when there was so much bigger close by.”

10/27/2025

The Native American boarding school system — a decades-long effort to assimilate Indigenous people before they ever reached adulthood — robbed children of their culture, family bonds and sometimes their lives.
For more than 150 years, spurred by federal assimilation policies beginning in the early 19th century, hundreds of thousands of Native American children were sent to boarding schools across the country. In many cases, they were forcibly removed from their homes.
Until recently, incomplete records and scant federal attention kept even the number of schools - let alone more details about how they functioned - unknown. A new accounting, the most comprehensive to date, shows that at least 523 institutions were part of the sprawling network in the U.S. system.
Many children faced beatings, malnutrition, hard labor and other forms of neglect and abuse. Some never returned to their families. Hundreds are known to have died, a toll expected to grow as research continues.
Wherever they were located or whoever ran them, the schools largely shared the mission of assimilating Indigenous students by erasing their culture. Children’s hair was cut off; their clothes were burned; they were given new, English names and were required to attend Christian religious services; and they were forced to perform manual labor, both on school premises and on surrounding farms. Those who dared to keep speaking their ancestral languages or observing their religious practices were often beaten.
While the boarding school era might seem like distant history, aging survivors, many in their 70s and 80s, are striving to ensure the harm that was done is remembered.”
