American Indians—What Does Their Future Hold?

Wow, from the Jehovah witness.

Reasonably accurate description of the history of American Native, but did not really propose any affirmative actions to help the American Native to preserve their culture. It appears to me that it is a matter of time of American Native together with their culture will be drowned by the White culture.

However, I think the American Natives are optimistic themselves:

WASHINGTON - They were days to sit back and let the big drumbeats roll through the bloodstream, as they have for thousands of years in American Indian communities. The National Museum of the American Indian National Powwow came to Washington Aug. 10 - 12, drawing tens of thousands of spectators and participants to the air-conditioned Verizon Center during a weekend of relentless heat. It was still plenty warm for the dancers as they stepped through Grass dances, Traditional dances, Jingle Dress and Fancy Shawl dances, and the less familiar but captivating Haudenosaunee Smoke Dance, a modern variation on the War Dance of the Iroquois Confederacy.

Even though faced with so much hardship:

BROWNING, Mont. - A steadily growing wildfire that has consumed more than 40,000 acres of timber and grassland moved into the Blackfeet reservation and burned nearly 10,000 acres. Lightning started the fire, called the Skyland fire, in mid-July on the southeastern edge of Glacier National Park. It is only one of 23 large wildfires in Montana and Idaho that had not been contained as of Aug. 14

OKLAHOMA CITY - When E.W. Marland drilled for oil in close proximity to a Ponca tribal graveyard near Ponca City in 1911, it was the beginning of many things for Marland - the rise and fall of an oil empire that would eventually become Conoco, as well as terms as Oklahoma congressman and governor.

BERKELEY, Calif. - A group of Natives is protesting a recent move by the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology to eliminate a department that helped tribal members prove their right to ownership of collection items. The University of California - Berkeley museum houses the second largest Native collection in the nation, after the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.
