We Are Still Here Every day is the right time to honor Native culture, strength and fortitude. Every day is an opportunity to tell the world: We are here. We are still here.

And there is much cause for celebration.

Rise with the Sun

Arms lifted to the breaking sky,
She calls not for herself,
But for the earth beneath her feet,
For the rivers, for the flowers in bloom.

The sun answers in colors—
Red, gold, violet, flame—
A promise that the land lives on,
As long as hearts remember.

Birds spiral in light,
Messengers of hope,
Carrying her song across the hills,
Across the cactus and stone.

No battle cry, no war drums—
Only quiet strength rising like dawn:
We are still here.
We will always be here.

Atsina Warriors 1908

The A’aninin are Algonquian-speaking people of the Northern Plains, closely related to the Arapaho. Originally part of the same group, they separated centuries ago and became distinct, developing their own identity, language, and territory.

They hunted buffalo across the vast grasslands of what is now Montana and Alberta, living in tipis, practicing the Sun Dance, and maintaining a strong warrior tradition. They were once allies of the Blackfoot Confederacy, but eventually became their enemies due to shifting territorial claims and intertribal conflicts.

The French called them “Gros Ventre”, meaning big belly, after a misinterpreted hand gesture used in Plains Indian Sign Language. But among themselves, they are A’aninin, or White Clay People, named after the light-colored earth found in their ancestral lands.

By the late 1800s, disease, warfare, and U.S. expansion drastically reduced their numbers. Survivors were relocated to the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana, where they were placed alongside the Assiniboine (Nakoda) people.

When I was just a small child, my mother and grandparents taught me something powerful.
If all the green plants disappeared from the earth, life wouldn’t survive.
If all the animals with four legs vanished, life would be in danger.
If all the birds were gone, life would struggle.
If all the creatures that crawl, swim, or live in the earth disappeared, there would be no life left.
But if all the human beings disappeared… life on earth would actually thrive.
That’s how small and unimportant we really are compared to nature."
— Russell Means, Oglala Lakota Nation
