"WE NATIVE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE PEOPLE OF PEACE AND RECONCILIATION" by Hyemeyohsts Storm
Author of "Seven Arrows" Dear Cody and Robin, (and Every one)
Please do not be afraid or saddened by the words of religious hate mongers. "Witch" hunts and Inquisitions, the spread of fear and hate is not the answer for my People. And I might quickly add that no three or four people with a violent chip on their shoulder represents the Sioux Nation.
People who ask for war are not people of peace. And a "Declaration of War Against Exploiters of Lakota Spirituality" would have to be first leveled against the Sioux themselves because it is the Sioux Peace Makers, who have encouraged people to Respect Sacred Mother Earth.
And, I might quickly add that it is again the Sioux who go out among the "white man" to speak of their traditions. Sioux Chiefs have taught people to pray in the "sweat lodge" and now that people pray in the "sweat lodge" they are condemned for it very strange.
And why is there a Them and Us? "Divide and conquer" methods are not all that fashionable in America. Fools Crow never preached that there was an Us and Them. He tried to bring Americans together with America.

Modern archaeological sites and modern Toronto are noted.
The tip of Southern Ontario is circled.
Modified from "Atlas of Ancient Archaeology", by Jacquetta Hawkes, Page 234 From the period about A.D. 600 until 1500, southern Ontario was on the fringe of the great Mississippian and South-Eastern agricultural civilizations. The ancestors of the Iroquoian peoples probably settled in this area at a very early period.
Ancient Ontarians: Economy and Culture
Copper was mined north of Lake Superior and in the interior of the province, and traded as far away as the American south and the Gulf of Mexico. Seashells from the Gulf have been found as far north as Ontario. Native peoples in Ontario farmed corn, beans and squash, and supplemented their diets with fish, shellfish, wild game and other foods. Though they had very large villages and towns, this area probably functioned as a distant fringe of the great Mid-American mound-building societies. The settlements of these ancient peoples in southern Ontario seem to have been fairly mobile. They would cut down a patch of forest for farming, and then move on. These ancient Ontarians left many remains all over the province. We know a lot about their settlement patterns. They often buried their dead in identifiably characteristic patterns. First, the bodies would be buried. Later, their bones would be re-interred in secondary graves, also called ossuaries. These are found all over southern Ontario. There are several earthen mound complexes in various parts of the province, as well, though their purposes are unknown.

The original native residents, who saw these areas as homelands and not frontiers, persisted and also contributed to the regional diversity. America
In America, despite devastation by war, disease, and land grabbing, Native Americans continued to exert a strong presence in the West. Western tribes ranged over a great diversity of landscapes and economies, from desert-dwelling farmers such as the Hopi to the numerous sea-faring, hunting, and fishing cultures of the Pacific Northwest to the great buffalo hunters of the plains, the Sioux. Some tribes also disappeared, or came to the brink of extinction, due to the pressures of colonization. The Yahi Indians of California, for example, were pushed from their lands, killed by white settlers, and finally disappeared when Ishi, the last Yahi, died of tuberculosis in 1916. Mexicans lived in large numbers in the Southwest before it became a part of the United States. In the nineteenth century, Mexicans and Mexican Americans often worked as cowboys. In the twentieth century, Mexicans became the largest ethnic minority among workers in the West. The high labor demands of extractive industries, especially farming, transportation, and mining, brought thousands of Mexicans north looking for economic opportunity.

Theories About The Bering Strait
By the late 1800s, most scholars had accepted a theory that people first migrated to the Americas from Asia across a "Bering Strait Land Bridge," and some believed this had occurred 4,000 to 6,000 years ago. The "land bridge" (a vast area now usually called Beringia) became available several times in the last 70,000 years due to huge drops in sea level during the Ice Age. Since the late 1950s, scholars have known through radiocarbon dating that people have been in the Americas for at least 11,500 years. The most recent research suggests that the times of entry were likely far earlier than 11,500 years ago.
This map shows the way the Americas appeared from 10,000 to 12,500 years ago, and the land connection, Beringia, between Asia and North America, as well as the location of important ancient archaeological sites that date from this period.

By Inez Ramsey
The Northern Maize (Corn) Area extended from southern New England and Maryland to the Lower Missouri River. These peoples practiced agriculture and were hunters and fishermen. Some tribes included the Iroquois [Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca Indians]; the Huron, the Lenni-Lenape [Delaware]. The Penobscots lived in the far northeastern corner of the United States [Maine, Vermont, etc.]. The Ojibwa, Winnebago, Algonquin and Potawatomi Indians lived in the north central part of the U.S. in the Great Lakes Area [Superior, Erie] The Fox, Sauk and Menomini tribes also lived in this area. Tribes in this area had wild rice as a staple in their diets.

At Home on the Earth
Using the word native My studies of the Celtic goddesses and myths of my own ancestral heritage have been rich. But a problem arose for me when I realized the obvious: that I don't live in the land of my ancestors. I live here, in North America. More specifically I live in the Pacific Northwest, the Cascadia Bioregion, part-time in an inland second-growth forest and part-time on an island in the San Juan archipelago. As I fell more and more in love with the land where I live, I learned the stories and myths of the first peoples who lived here. At the same time I began my naturalist studies. It became very meaningful to me to compare the myths of my Celtic heritage with the myths of the Northwest, especially the stories of the plants and animals who live in both places (like the magical hawthorn tree and the salmon of wisdom). How then, as non-indigenous peoples, do we become native to the land where we live?

THE DESERT TORTOISE
AND EARLY PEOPLES OF THE WESTERN DESERTS
Desert tortoises ( Gopherus Xerobates agassizii have been inhabitants of the Mojave and Colorado deserts of North America since Ice Age times.' When people arrived on the scene, they interacted with tortoises in several ways: they noted their way of life, they found household and ritual uses for them, and they ate them. The past and present importance of desert tortoises to native peoples is reflected in the many archaeological sites that contain the physical remains of tortoises (bones and shell fragments), in native languages and oral traditions, and in media of artistic and symbolic expression.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DESERT TORTOISES TO EARLY PEOPLES
Archaeological, ethnographic, and historical data, gathered from many sources, have allowed a reconstruction of the ways that desert tortoises were important to the early peoples of the deserts. The archaeological record indicates that tortoises were used as early as 9,500 years ago

It is impossible to formulate a single concept of the "average" Native American. At the time of the first contact between whites and native peoples, there was far more cultural and linguistic variety in North America than in Europe, and much of that diversity continues today. (Approximately 30 languages are still in use, classified into 6 major groups.) It is believed that as many as 600 distinct native cultures may have existed at one time or another on the North American continent. That Native American art reflects this great variety is immediately evident from a study of this collection. The hunting and gathering peoples of California produced a basketry art Just as they adapted their lives to their available resources, Native Americans employed these resources to create their art. Through this link, artifacts become mirrors that reflect the activities and environments of the native peoples who made them. But Native American art is far from static; many cultures continue to thrive. Today's artists pull from their rich history of tribal art, as well as the events and ideas of contemporary society, to produce vibrant and relevant art. An examination of Pomona's collection offers insight to the lives and creative processes of these artists, while it reveals the masterful craftsmanship of their superb works of art.

Exploring the Past: An archeological journey
Norman Chance
Still, archeologists have much to offer in interpreting these fragments of the human adventure. And we can utilize as well one of their guiding principles, cultural ecology and its correlary, adaptation . Without such a principle, these prehistoric detectives would simply be presenting us with a conglomeration of unrelated facts. With such a clarifying paradigm, we gain contextual meaning - an essential feature of any serious inquiry. This approach is especially germane to studies of the Circumpolar North, for as every North American school-age child knows, the Arctic has always served as a natural laboratory, testing the northerner's ability to survive in a severe environment. Given these environmental limitations, present day Inuit have met this challenge with ingenuity and skill. Yet they followed long after the first inhabitants of the region. These earlier humans entered the New World by way of Beringia, an intercontinental land 'bridge' half the width of the United States connecting the region of Bering Strait with Siberia. We know little of human antiquity in this northern sector of the Old World, although archeological remains from the Lake Baikal region of the Trans-Baikal date as far back as 13,000 to 25,000 years ago. The residents of the Russian steppe-tundra were not northern reminants of Ice Age neanderthals, but contemporary

75. KENNEWICK MAN:
As the ice gradually retreated northwards peoples living south of the ice would havemoved north at a far faster rate than anyone could have moved south
http://cougar.ucdavis.edu/nas/faculty/forbes/personal/kennwick.html
KENNEWICK MAN: In July 1996 a skeleton was found in the shallows of the Oregon (now Columbia) River near Kennewick, Washington. Tentatively dated at 9,200 bp (before the present), the remains represent one of the oldest Americans found thus far. We could call him "Ilip" (Elder) in the Chinook Intertribal Language of the Pacific Northwest, but since each nation has its own name let us stick with Kennewick. A great deal of misinformation has been circulated about Kennewick Man. Let us try to get at some facts of legal as well as ethical significance. First, it is virtually certain that Kennewick Man was an ancestor for most or all of us who are today known as Native Americans. It is normal for an adult person to have produced descendants. If Kennewick Man had descendants at the conservative rate of two per each generation, then this American Ancestor would have had some 64 million grandchildren (statistically speaking) within 650 years and 128 million by 675 years (if we figure each generation at a conservative 25 years and if each grandchild averaged two children). After 775 years Kennewick's descendants could number some 2 billion Americans, a number far exceeding any known estimate for the maximum population of Americans before 1492. What this means, of course, is that Kennewick's descendants intermarried with each other after a few centuries had elapsed. The number of Kennewick's descendants today could be astronomical, theoretically in the mega-trillions, thus virtually ensuring that all of us of indigenous American ancestry are descendants. (We are not necessarily descendants in the direct male or female lines, and thus we may not have the same DNA as Kennewick, nor will we necessarily resemble him since we will have had many other ancestors as well. As recently as the year 1480 I had 32,000 statistical ancestors, born of 64,000 parents born of 128,000 grandparents! Since our ancestors double statistically every 25 or so years, one can imagine how many ancestors each of us had 9,000 years ago, a number so great that it must statistically include every American Ancestor then living in the Americas! Of course, if our ancestors married other ancestors, then that number will be reduced).

    Section 1: Amerindians Narrative
    Amerindian Migration and Population Decline, 1500-1700
    The migration of the peoples of Europe and Africa to the Americas has been one of the defining elements of world history since 1500. People flowed across the Atlantic in a series of migrations great and small. The flow of people was strong in the sixteenth century, weaker in the middle of the seventeenth century, and, beginning in the late seventeenth century, so strong as to constitute a massive redistribution of the world's population in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Since 1500, over fifty million people have migrated to the Americas. Since these migrants forged the social, political, religious, and economic elements of the modern and, in some cases, powerful and influential nations in North, Central, and South America, this migration has made its effects felt the world over. As people migrate from the place of their birth to one or more new locations, they transport with them their beliefs, values, and habits, as well as their skills, foodstuffs, animals, and diseases. But migrants also change in the process of migration. Beliefs, values, and habits change, as do skills and the ways people interact with their environment. Moreover, peoples of different backgroundthe migrants and those the migrants encounter in their travelsor their resettlement, meet as people move around the globe. Such meetings have resulted both in cooperation and in conflict. A large portion of the population of the Americas in the late twentieth century is composed of the descendants of those who married or mated with members of different races or ethnic groups that encountered one another in the process of Atlantic migration.
