East face of Devils Tower. See the Native American face with head dress?To everyone asking exactly where this is, when you look through the pipe at the ladder go to your right around the corner. There’s a bench sitting right across where it is. I was sitting there admiring the beauty and saw the face.

Please be reminded during ceremony season: There is a difference between male and female sage. Male sage is most commonly used in tradional ways. Female sage is also used but not as much. Sage is becoming Scarce in places it has commonly grown. If you do not need it leave the female sage. It has the seeds to produce next year''s crop. If you clean a whole patch of female sage there is no sage for next year in this area. without female sage there will be no male sage to pick.. picking seeded male sage means no more sage also... is sad when they are both being picked because some day... there might be none.

Sacheen Littlefeather who refused to accept an Oscar On Marlon Brando behalf in 1973 has finally received and apology from The Academy.When she stepped on stage at the Oscar’s this is what she said.
“Hello. My name is Sacheen Littlefeather. I'm Apache and I am president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee. I'm representing Marlon Brando this evening and he has asked me to tell you in a very long speech, which I cannot share with you presently because of time but I will be glad to share with the press afterwards, that he very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry – excuse me – and on television in movie reruns, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee. I beg at this time that I have not intruded upon this evening and that we will in the future, our hearts and our understandings will meet with love and generosity. Thank you on behalf of Marlon Brando.”
Despite the boos and jeers coming from the audience, she maintained her composure. John Wayne attempted to physically attack her as she exited the platform and had to be restrained by security. By claiming that he was giving the medal on behalf of "all the cowboys shot in all the John Ford Westerns," Clint Eastwood made fun of her. Littlefeather was thereafter put on a Hollywood blacklist and never again engaged in the film business.
On September 17, 2022, Littlefeather will return to the Academy once again as a guest of honor.

The bedrock of Comanche community life was the woman. The strength as well as the industriousness of Comanche women allowed the needs of the village to be met. Daily tasks, taking care of the children, the preparation of food, the making of clothing, and the building of shelter were wonderfully done for her family.Of marriage in her tribe, the Kwahada Comanche Rhoda Asenap shared that Comanche women liked to marry a warrior for his name and for his wealth of horses. In her case, her father's name of Pahdopony was a popular one. The English translation of the name is "See How Deep the Water Is". The well-known warrior Pahdopony had around four wives. Rhoda was born from the last wife of her father. With regard to the many capabilities of Comanche women, Rhoda added that the women even went on raids but not on the most strenuous ones. And that the women could shoot bows and arrows.

THE OGLALA LAKOTA STEVEN GARCIA, WITH DAUGHTER CHEYENNE:They are seen here on the Pine Ridge, Indian Reservation, South Dakota. Pine Ridge is the poorest community in America. Unlike many other tribes, Pine Ridge has resisted casinos and maintains a firm grip on their culture and traditions. This is Billy Mills' and Russell Means' tribe. Quite a few more Indian Country heavyweights came out of Pine Ridge. Like the Bronx is New York's hardest hard, Pine Ridge is Indian Country's hardest hard.Photo Courtesy~MarilynAngelWyn

American Indian Veterans National MemorialService and sacrifice spanning more than three centuries are honored in the first and only known national memorial to American Indian veterans of many conflicts.
The Memorial, located outside the Collector’s Room of the Heard Museum Shop, consists of several sizable sculptures by acclaimed Native artists Chiricahua Apache sculptor Allan Houser (1914-1994)
and Michael Naranjo (Santa Clara Pueblo).
The 10-foot sculpture Unconquered II is the last sculpture created by Houser.
Naranjo is a Vietnam War veteran who suffered an injury that rendered him blind.
Naranjo has been carving his meant-to-be-touched sculptures by feel ever since.

A Hidatsa woman named Waheenee, born around 1839, made it her mission to ensure her tribe's ancient gardening techniques were never forgotten. 🌱Between 1907 and 1918, she shared her people's deep knowledge of agriculture, cooking, and daily life with an ethnographer.
Her incredible wisdom was published in 1917 in a book called "Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden," creating a permanent record of a fading way of life.
She wasn't alone in this vital work of preservation.
Around the same time, an ethnologist named Frances Densmore traveled the United States with a wax cylinder phonograph.
Over several decades, she recorded over 2,000 songs from various tribes, preserving their musical heritage for all time. 📖
Meanwhile, in Connecticut, a Mohegan woman named Gladys Tantaquidgeon dedicated her life to documenting traditional medicine and ancient healing practices.
Her detailed work not only preserved Mohegan culture but was instrumental in helping her tribe achieve federal recognition in 1994.
These women understood the importance of their heritage and worked tirelessly to create a bridge for future generations to connect with their past.
