United Native Americans of Central Florida Dedicated to promoting a better future through the traditions of the past May 2001 Newsletter Rex Comes in May Indigenous Info Trying to Find Your Roots? Try these... With My Eyes Closed...by Rex Begaye ... Return to Home Page Rex Comes in May The images of a full-blooded Dine' artist Rex A. Begaye speak of the universal connection of Mother Earth, Father Sky and man. Through his paintings, stories that have been passed down for generations by the Elders of many different nations are vividly brought to life. Rex's art celebrates the sacredness and discipline of the Dine' culture, lending a contemporary outlook to the ancient traditions. To see his paintings is to span from days of long ago to the edge of tomorrow. Ceremonies are the way of life for the Dine'. "In beauty before me, behind me, above me, all around me, I wander." Rex shares the beginning of prayers that "Stays within me and keeps me close to tradition." His harsh upbringing in the heart of Dinehtah (Navajoland) instilled in him the beauty and the richness of his culture. "DINE' I AM" Through his paintings, Rex shares with us the simple beauty of living in balance and harmony with Mother Earth. "To paint the way I feel, the meaningful way of life, the teaching of my people, the Native American."

In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Michigan Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Michigan, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. My name is Rose Edwards and I'm responsible for Native Genealogy in Michigan. Please contact me if you would like to contribute to this database. If you would like to host a Michigan county, please contact Joan Brausch World GenWeb Page US GenWeb Page Michigan GenWeb Genealogy Page ... United States Internet Genealogical Society Here is a little background of the "People of the Three Fires": There are three major tribal groups in Michigan today: the Chippewa (Ojibwe), the Ottawa, and the Potawatomi. They comprise what is called the Three Fires Council. Although these three tribes have similar cultures and share the same territory, there are still some differences.

Today the number is considerably less. While it is often difficult to trace Native ancestry it is not impossible.

NATIVE AMERICANS Articles have been found that prove that Indians lived here more than a thousand years ago. The Hopewell Indians left burial grounds which have been found at Hebron, Cedar Lake, Deep River, and at Indian Ridge, where there is a golf course today. After the Hopewells left the area, no one lived here for a long time. Then the Potawatomi Indians settled here. One of the Potawatomi Indian towns was near Deep River. Many relics have been found in the area, and some of these Indian treasures such as arrow heads, bowls, hammers, and other tools, may be seen in our local museum.

Indian Nations are sovereign governments, recognized in the U.S. Constitution and hundreds of treaties with the U.S. President. The history of this continent's original inhabitants encompasses a broad range of cultures and experiences. American Indians varied greatly from region to region, as did their reactions to European settlement. This website will delve into the vast and storied background of most tribes and seek to supply the visitors with as much knowledge as possible about the proud history of Native Americans . Please join us on this journey into the past, experience the present and dream about the future of the American Indian. When Columbus landed on the island of San Salvador in 1492 he was welcomed by a brown-skinned people whose physical appearance confirmed him in his opinion that he had at last reached India, and whom, therefore, he called Indios , Indians, a name which, however mistaken in its first application continued to hold its own, and has long since won general acceptance, except in strictly scientific writing, where the more exact term American is commonly used. As exploration was extended north and south it was found that the same race was spread over the whole continent, from the Arctic shores to Cape Horn, everywhere alike in the main physical characteristics, with the exception of the Eskimo in the extreme North, whose features suggest the Mongolian...

The Pomo were the most southerly Native Americans on the California coast not brought under the mission influence of the Franciscans in the early 18th and 19th cent. The Pomo have been especially noted for their basketry arts, and many of their works are now valued art objects in museums and private collections. Of these arts, the Pomo developed feather-covering, lattice-twining, checker-work, single-rod coiling, and several other specializations. They now occupy several reservations in N California; the reservation near Clearlake Oaks is the site of gambling casinos. In 1990 there were about 5,000 Pomo in the United States.

Native Americans have rich history in St. Joseph region Native American Student Union celebrating on campus Vanessa Kelleybrew Staff Writer November is Native American History Month and Greg Ballew, part of the Pokagon Band Potawatomi Indians and president of the Native American Student Union on the IUSB campus, is dedicated to educating people about the Native American Indian culture. Ballew says he realizes Native American Indians are stereotyped as people with dark complexions and long hair who dance around in leather, feathers, and furs while singing songs around a roaring fire. However, he also wants people to know that Native American Indians are so much more than that. They are a people with a story to tell. The Pokagon Band Potawatomis have lived in the St. Joe area for 800 years. Before the Potawatomis lived here, the Miami Indians lived in this area, which means that before Columbus sailed the ocean blue, they were already here in America. As a matter of fact, says Ballew, the word Indiana means Land of the Indians. When the European settlers came to America, they brought their culture and their customs along with guns and disease. The settlers started taking over and slowly we went from being the majority to being the minority, explains Ballew. "The government forced their education on us. They removed children from their homes and took them far away from their families. They cut their hair, made them wear uniforms and taught them not to act like Indians.
