Native Americans: Tribes of the USA Native American peoples have always played a significant role in US history. Unfortunately, direct factual knowledge has been lost or misrepresented in many cases which has translated into only a vague inclusion of real Native American history into children's lessons. Below is a list of Tribal Nations that live and/or lived in what is today the contiguous US as well as some from the North and Pacific Northeast of the North American continent. I do not profess to be an expert on Native American culture and tradition, but I do think it important to include factual information when including them in our lesson plans. Use this list to help you do further research on the Tribal Nations of your area. Please Note: if you have a correction and/or addition to this list, please forward it to EFSNewsletter-owner@yahoogroups.com along with the recorded source of the addition/correction for verification. Some of the tribal names below are the most common English translations of the Native American dialect used by that tribe for themselves. You'll also see duplications if the Tribal lands extended over more than one state/area. This list is quite long with additional links at the bottom for further study and research.

Reporters' Notebook:
Native Americans Struggle,
Build Pride
For the second installment in the Education World series Lessons from Our Nation's Schools, editors Diane Weaver Dunne and Ellen R. Delisio traveled to rural Maine to visit two Native American reservation schools. They learned about Native American culture, learning styles, and the people who teach and learn at these schools. Included: Descriptions of how the relationship between Native Americans and the U.S. government evolved from enmity to separation.
Last spring, Education World editors Diane Weaver Dunne and Ellen R. Delisio visited two Native American reservation schools in northern Maine: Indian Island School on the Penobscot reservation north of Bangor and Beatrice Rafferty School on the Passamaquoddy reservation in Perry. Learn more about their visit in our five-part series. The five articles are detailed below. Click on any headline for a complete report. Teachers on Mission to Save Heritage
Native American students have responded eagerly to the introduction of native studies to the curriculums at Indian Island and Beatrice Rafferty schools. Tribal leaders are hopeful that the resurgence of native studies will help this generation recapture its now struggling culture.

Exploring Native Americans Across the Curriculum
Blast stereotypes with across-the-curriculum activities for students of all ages. Stereotypes of Native Americans abound in movies and on TV, in literature and in history books. "Teachers must provide accurate instruction not only about history but also about the contemporary lives of Native Americans," writes Debbie Reese in Teaching Young Children About Native Americans , a 1996 ERIC Digest. Reese is a Pueblo who studies and works in the field of early childhood education. Stereotype is a difficult issue to define in any culture, especially in the Native American culture. As noted in A Line in the Sand , a Web site dedicated to the debate surrounding Native American stereotypes and other issues: "We want to be careful to note that this 'line in the sand' will not lie at the same place for everyone," explains an introduction to the site. "We must recognize that not all Native American communities have had the same historical experience, either before or after 1492. For this reason, the members of these communities will have different opinions. There will be different opinions both between and within communities, just as there are in all human communities." That difference is illustrated in Teaching Young Children About Native Americans when Debbie Reese writes about the popular children's book

Creation stories teach that Native Americans have been where they are since the world was created. It is also thought that First Americans migrated from Siberia over the Bering Strait about 14,000 years ago, or perhaps even earlier. The land bridge was dry ground for several thousand years before the sea level rose again and stopped migration. The hunters would have followed the migrating herds of large mammals as they moved south. As the glaciers melted, the First Americans spread to the North American coasts and across the entire continent. Native Americans adapted to the climates and terrains in which they lived and used whatever natural resources were available. The arrival of the Europeans in the 1500's began a change in the lives of the Indian people that continued through the next centuries. Sometimes the changes were good. The horses brought by the Spanish made bison hunting much easier and safer. But Vikings, Spanish, English and French explorers, colonists and missionaries spread diseases, made slaves of the people, forced relocations, claimed ownership of natural resources and land, and tried to stamp out the native cultures. Some of the Indian people survived, but not without making drastic changes in their life styles.

    Easternmost Native Americans: Our Passamaquoddy neighbors share Route 190 with Eastport. They have a long and colorful history in this area. They were here to welcome the earliest white settlers and have been our good friends and neighbors for many years.
    A stop at the "Basket" sign to visit with Joseph Nichols (207-853-2840) is a must as you enter or leave Eastport at Sipayik, Pleasant Point. Not only can you buy some of the finest native baskets, but also you will likely receive an education in the Passamaquoddy heritage and language. The Waponahki Museum , (207-853-4001) just across the street, contains many Passamaquoddy treasures for your enjoyment and enlightenment.
    In early August, usually the second weekend, Sipayik comes alive with Indian Days: a Passamaquoddy Heritage Celebration. Tribal members gather to share their native dancing, drumming, canoe racing, customs, and meals. It's your opportunity to try moose meat, venison, and other native delicacies. It's one of the few times during the year when many Passamaquoddy dress in native garb. You won't see elaborate feathered headdresses. Those come from other tribes, but you will see intricate beadwork. A spectacular fireworks display can be enjoyed from the land or water. Most events are open to the public. A schedule of events will be found in The Quoddy Tides
    The Wigwam Gift Shop (207-853-4812), north on Route 1 in Perry, carries a selection of Passamaquoddy items, such as dream catchers, beadwork, baskets, and jewelry. Locally made moccasins are also available.

Sunday, September 2, 2001 Portland Press Herald Filling in a 'missing chunk' of Maine's past and present
By staff reportor Tess Nacelewicz © 2001 Blethen Maine Newspapers Merry Chapin, a teacher at Phippsburg Elementary School, will be teaching something new about Maine Colonial history this year: what life was like for Native Americans when the first Europeans arrived. Chapin teaches her fifth-graders about the Popham Colony, a group of English colonists who settled at the mouth of the Kennebec River in 1607. But Chapin said she'd always viewed the settlement from the perspective of the English settlers. Then, this summer, she heard Donna Loring, the Penobscot Nation's tribal representative in the Maine Legislature, speak about the profound impact the Europeans had on Maine's native people. Now, Chapin wants her students to learn about that other viewpoint too. "To really understand the whole history (of Maine), you can't leave out the Native American part," she said. "It would be like a puzzle that had a whole big chunk missing." Maine lawmakers earlier this year passed a bill sponsored by Loring that requires Maine schools to teach students about the culture, history and government of Maine's Native Americans — both past and present. Maine schools won't officially be required to comply with the law for a few years. But some teachers already are planning to incorporate such information in their classes this school year.

Native history, culture By Betsy A. Tannian Bangor Daily News Editorial Last weekend, CNN and the Bangor Daily News featured the Commission on Civil Rights’ recommendation for an end to using Indian names as mascots by non-Indian schools, colleges and universities. Although the commission does not carry the weight of the law, Cyd Crue, president of the Illinois chapter of the National Coalition of Racism in Sports and the Media, said, "I think it’s going to make a big difference." Donald Soctomah, Passamaquoddy representative and a co-sponsor of LD 291, stated that "School is the one public institution where all people meet and mix. Researchers agree that children are free from racial bias and easily adjust to one another if brought together in the elementary grades." How does this connect with LD 291? My answer is they both can make a big difference in honoring and understanding Native Americans and their culture. With this in mind, it is time to start in our education system and begin to make a big difference by replacing false stereotypes of Native Americans that have been grotesquely portrayed as school mascots across the nation with a mascot that does not represent any ethnic group. The next step in making a big difference is through history education in order to present a true picture of the proud Native American who has endured a long history of struggles of assimilation.

Title VI - Grants for Native Americans

Introduction
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Older Americans Act (OAA). In signing this important piece of legislation, President Lyndon Johnson described it as "seed corn" which would provide an "intelligent and constructive program of both services and opportunities for older citizens in every State and community." Because of the OAA and the work of the dedicated and talented national aging network, made up of state and area agencies on aging, Indian Tribal organizations, service providers, and volunteers, millions of older Americans are able to continue to contribute to their families, communities, and country. OAA Objectives Title I of the OAA sets out 10 broad national objectives to be achieved on behalf of older persons. These are:
  • the best possible physical and mental health;

Native Americans and
the Ste. Croix Celebrations
By Juliana L’Heureux
Back to Juliana's Writings "Are Native Americans invited to The Ste.-Croix 2004 Coordinating Committee?" asks Rhea Cote Robbins of Orono. Indeed, plans for the celebration of the 400 th anniversary of the French settlement on Ste. Croix Island near Calias-St. Stephens includes an invitation to Native Americans representing the Passamoquoddy groups whose ancestors saved the 39 out of 79 people who survived the 1604-05 winter. These survivors moved to Port Royal in Nova Scotia. "Ste. Croix was one of the first French-Native American contacts in North America,." says Stephanie Walsh, director of The Ste. Croix 2004 Coordinating Committee planning international celebrations to commemorate the settlement. Surely, all the French colonists would have perished during their first winter if a group of Native Americans did not save them in early March 1605, by providing the survivors with fresh food. Still, Walsh says there is reluctance by Native Americans asked to participate in the event. "Since its inception, the committee set aside a seat for the Native Americans to participate, but last winter the local Passamaquoddy Tribe governor indicated the tribe would no longer participate", says Walsh. Although the committee accepted the resignation, they to continue keeping the tribe informed by sending minutes of meetings to the Tribe’s governor. Nevertheless, Native Americans at the Pleasant Point reserve helped the committee to provide educational kits to schools whereby students can study the significance of the 1604 settlement and the importance of the French interaction with the Native community.

1991 State Legislation Relating to Native Americans
9-Page Document
NCSL State Legislative Report
December 1991 By James B. Reed
Introduction
States with Legislation
Alaska Minnesota Pennsylvania Arizona ... Oregon
Introduction
The volume of legislation in the states relating to Native American affairs has been on the rise. Many factors contribute to the increase. One is the tendency of the Supreme Court in recent years to render decisions unfavorable to tribal interests. An example is the Duro v. Reina case in which the Court ruled that Indian tribes did not have misdemeanor criminal jurisdiction over non-member Indians. Several states passed resolutions urging Congress to overturn this ruling. (Congress has temporarily redressed this issue with emergency legislation passed over the summer.) Unfavorable court decisions have forced tribes to turn to the political process and try to influence legislation at the state and federal levels. Another contributing factor is the increased number of state legislators of native American descent. Thirty Native Americans hold office in nine states. These legislators introduced the large majority of bills and resolutions related to Indian affairs. To increase their visibility and effectiveness in state political processes, the National Council of Native American Legislators was formed in June, 1991.
