"Many will become sick,
others will lose their strength,
yet others will no longer be able
to dream and have visions.
Man will start waging war
against his fellow man for no reason,
he will prove incapable of telling the truth
and treating his brother with honesty.
Furthermore, he will no longer be able to survive
on his land,
his life will be filled with resentment and sadness. Gradually, in the end, man will poison himself and everything he touches.
All of this has been foretold."
Dakota Yanktonwan Canupa

In the final months before his surrender in 1877, Crazy Horse retreated alone to the Powder River country and pleaded for a vision that would show him how to preserve his people and their homeland.
Compounding the Lakota war chief’s grief during that long winter was the ill health of his wife, Black Shawl. As he fasted and prayed in the hills near the present-day Montana-Wyoming line, a red-tailed hawk, his spirit helper, descended with an eagle.
Crazy Horse took the eagle’s message to holy men and together they created a healing ceremony. Although Crazy Horse was killed within months of his surrender, Black Shawl — thought at the time to have tuberculosis — lived to be an old woman.
The eagle, chief of birds — the one who could fly the highest and carry messages to and from First Maker — was intricately woven into life on the Northern Plains.
Two Leggins, a chief of the River Crow in the last of the buffalo days, was protected by the medicine of an eagle feather painted with six white spots. It gave him the power to direct the wind, he said in his dictated autobiography.
“After the proper ceremony, the wind would blow from the direction pointed by the feather in my hair,” he said. “The six spots meant the owner could cause a sudden hailstorm between myself and a pursuing enemy. Later I used the feather many times and it always worked.”
Who could doubt the spiritual power of such a magnificent bird?
Once, on a hunting trip in the Bighorn Mountains, Cheyenne warrior Wooden Leg watched as an eagle swooped down on a buffalo calf and carried it far up a cliff to its nest.
“Ordinarily a capturing eagle would drop its prey from high in the air, so that it would be killed by the fall to the ground,” Wooden Leg told his biographer Thomas Marquis. “But this did not happen in this case. As long as we stayed there watching, we could see the buffalo calf standing up there on the cliff and wiggling its tail.”
In 1875, at the end of his grueling vision quest on Otter Creek in southeastern Montana, the 17-year-old warrior was presented with an eagle wing bone flute by his father.
“It was to be worn about my neck, suspended at the mid-breast by a buckskin thong during times of danger,” Wooden Leg said. “If I were threatened with imminent harm I had but to put it to my lips and cause it to send out its soothing notes. That would ward off every evil design upon me. It was my mystic protector. It was my medicine.”
Warriors sought the courage and protection of the eagle in battle and wore eagle feathers as a testimony of honors earned. Each tribal group had its own traditions.
“An eagle’s feather worn in the hair was a mark of distinction and told the world that the wearer had counted coups,” Crow Chief Plenty Coups said in his biography by Frank Linderman.
If a Crow warrior was wounded counting coups — a lesser honor than returning from the field of battle without a scratch — the feather would be painted red to show that he bled, Plenty Coups said.
Four eagle feathers were attached to the shield given to Sitting Bull by his father after exploits against the Crow at Powder River. The four feathers boasted of his success in all four directions.
Warriors couldn’t just claim to have counted coups. The deeds had to be witnessed and attested before the right to wear an eagle feather was earned.
Even after intertribal warfare ceased and tribes have been relegated to reservations, the eagle continues to hold its power.
Joseph Medicine Crow, a Crow historian and World War II veteran, wrote in “Counting Coups” that before he went to war, a Shoshone sun dance chief gave him a white eagle feather. When battle loomed, he stuffed it inside his helmet. He credits the feather with protecting him during the bloody invasion of Germany.
Then he passed the feather on to one of his cousins.
It was carried by members of Medicine Crow’s family to Africa, Germany, Italy and later to Korea.

Red Eagle or William Weatherford (1780 or 1781 - March 24, 1824) was a Creek chief. One of many mixed-race descendants of Southeast Indians who intermarried with European traders and later colonial settlers. Red Eagle was of mixed Creek, French and Scots ancestry.
He was raised as a Creek in the matrilineal nation and achieved his power in it, through his mother's prominent Wind Clan, as well as his father's trading connections. After showing his skill as a warrior, he was given the war name of Hopnicafutsahia. The Creek War (1813-1814), also known as the Red Stick War and the Creek Civil War, was a regional war between opposing Creek factions, European empires, and the United States, taking place largely in Alabama and along the Gulf Coast.
Red Eagle became increasingly concerned about the influx of European Americans onto Creek land and eventually led a group known as “Red Sticks,” bent on protecting their land, their way of life, and their people from intruders.
Eventually the smaller forces of Red Sticks and the larger opposing forces led by General Andrew Jackson came against each other. The conflict ended in the decisive defeat of the Red Sticks at The Battle of Horseshoe Bend, near modern-day Dadeville, Alabama. Terms were drawn up that provided far less land than the Creek tribe had previously held.
The quote attributed to Chief Red Eagle reads, "Angry people want you to see how powerful they are.
Loving people want you to see how powerful YOU are."-End ID

By the age of 10, most children in the United States have been taught all 50 states that make up the country. But centuries ago, the land that is now the United States was a very different place. Over 20 million Native Americans dispersed across over 1,000 distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups populated the territory. History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy.

Tsianina Redfeather Blackstone (December 13, 1882 – January 10, 1985) was a Muscogee singer, performer, and Native American activist, born in Eufaula, Oklahoma, then within the Muscogee Nation. She was born to Cherokee and Creek parents and stood out from her 9 siblings musically. From 1908 she toured regularly with Charles Wakefield Cadman, a composer and pianist who gave lectures about Native American music that were accompanied by his compositions and her singing. He composed classically based works associated with the Indianist movement. They toured in the United States and Europe.
She collaborated with him and Nelle Richmond Eberhart on the libretto of the opera Shanewis (or "The Robin Woman," 1918), which was based on her semi-autobiographical stories and contemporary issues for Native Americans. It premiered at the Metropolitan Opera. Redfeather sang the title role when the opera was on tour, making her debut when the work was performed in Denver in 1924, and also performing in it in Los Angeles in 1926.
After her performing career, she worked as an activist on Indian education, co-founding the American Indian Education Foundation. She also supported Native American archeology and ethnology, serving on the Board of Managers for the School of American Research founded in Santa Fe by Alice Cunningham Fletcher.

NATIVE AMERICANS – THE FIRST OWNERS OF AMERICA
Native Americans, or the indigenous peoples of the Americas, are the pre-Columbian inhabitants of North and South America and their descendants. Those who live within the boundaries of the present-day United States are composed of numerous, distinct tribes, bands and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact, sovereign nations.
Most authorities agree that the first evidence of people inhabiting North America indicates that they migrated here from Eurasia over 13,000 years ago, most likely crossing along the Bering Land Bridge, which was in existence during the Ice Age. However, some historians believe that people had migrated into the Americas much earlier, up to 40,000 years ago. These early Paleo-Indians spread throughout the Americas, diversifying into many hundreds of culturally distinct nations and tribes.
Application of the term “Indian” originated with Christopher Columbus, who, in his search for Asia, thought that he had arrived in the East Indies. However, there is considerable evidence in support of successful explorations which led to Norse settlement of Greenland, the L’Anse aux Meadows settlement in Newfoundland, and potentially others some 500 years prior to Columbus landing in the Bahamas. From the Native American aspect, many tribes’ oral histories indicate they have been living here since their genesis, as described by a wide range of creation myths.
By the time European adventurers arrived in the 15th century, scholars estimate that more than 50 million people were already living in the Americas. Of these, some 10 million lived in the region that would later become the United States. As time passed, these migrants and their descendants pushed south and east, adapting as they went. With these new arrivals came centuries of conflict and adjustment between Old and New World societies. Today, Native Americans account for about 1.5 percent of the United States population, many of whom continue to take pride in their ancestral traditions — still practicing the music, art, and ceremonies that took place many years ago.

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.

“He is 85 and insists on taking his wife’s hand everywhere they go. When he was asked why his wife kept looking away, he responded, “because she has Alzheimer's”. Then he was asked, will your wife worry if you let her go? He then replied, ′′she doesn't remember anything, she doesn't know who I am anymore, she hasn't recognized me for years.” Surprised, I said, “and you have continued to guide her every single day even though she doesn't recognize you?" 💞
The elderly man smiled and looked into my eyes and said, ′′she may not know who I am, but I know who she is, and she is the love of my life…”

𝐉𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 (born Harold Jay Smith; May 26, 1912 – March 5, 1980) was an Indigenous Canadian actor and athlete. He was well known for his role as Tonto, the Native American companion of the Lone Ranger in the American Western television series The Lone Ranger.
Jay Silverheels was born on Canada's Six Nation's Reserve and was one of 10 children. He was a star lacrosse player and a boxer before he entered films as a stuntman in 1938. He worked in a number of films through the 1940s before gaining notice as the Osceola brother in a Humphrey Bogart film Key Largo (1948). Most of Silverheels' roles consisted of bit parts as an Indian character. In 1949, he worked in the movie The Cowboy and the Indians (1949) with another "B movie" actor Clayton Moore. Later that year, Silverheels was hired to play the faithful Indian companion, Tonto, in the TV series The Lone Ranger (1949) series, which brought him the fame that his motion picture career never did.
Silverheels recreated the role of Tonto in two big-screen color movies with Moore,The Lone Ranger (1956) and The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold (1958). After the TV series ended in 1957, Silverheels could not escape the typecasting of Tonto. He would continue to appear in an occasional film and television show but became a spokesperson to improve the portrayal of Indians in the media.
Familiar Canadian Indian actor who shot to fame as Tonto, the faithful Indian companion of the masked man on the US television series The Lone Ranger (1949). A member of the Mohawk tribe of Canada's Six Nations Reserve, Silverheels excelled at wrestling, horse racing, football, boxing, and hockey, and became a renowned lacrosse player.
With the help of actor Joe E. Brown,Silverheels obtained work as a stuntman and extra in Hollywood films. Following military service in World War II, Silverheels returned to film and landed small, often stereotypical roles as Indian warriors in Westerns. John Huston cast him as one of the fugitive Osceola brothers in Key Largo (1948), and Silverheels followed with the two roles that would define his career, Tonto and the Apache leader Geronimo, whom he would play several times beginning with the Western classic Broken Arrow (1950). Silverheels' enormous fame as Tonto overshadowed everything else, although it did not prevent him from playing other prominent roles. Even after completing The Lone Ranger (1949)series, Silverheels continued to reprise Tonto for commercials, comic guest spots, and spoofs.
Silverheels became an outspoken activist for Indian rights and a respected teacher within the Indian acting community. He appeared on talk and variety shows performing his own poetry. In later years, he began a second career as a harness racer. His health failed in the 1970s, and he died of a stroke in 1980, a beloved figure to the Baby Boom generation America. His son, Jay Silverheels Jr. has acted in television as well.

Sylvester Stallone (real name Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone; born July 6, 1946) is an American actor, screenwriter, director, and film producer. He has won 24 awards and 25 nominations, including 2 Oscars.
It was 1971, 25-year-old Sylvester Stallone had to sell his dog named Butkus for $40 to buy food. A few years later, after the huge success of his movie "Rocky" (1976), he bought back Butkus but for $15,000.
"We were both hungry and lived in a hostel on top of a subway stop. When things got worse, I had to sell it for $40 in front of a 7-eleven store because I couldn't afford to buy food. Then, like a modern day miracle, the Rocky script sold and I was able to buy it again, but the new owner knew I was desperate and charged me $15,000... worth every penny! ”
Stallone won an Oscar for 'Rocky' and Butkus starred in the first two films before passing away in 1981❤️

Entre las historias de España que no se enseñan está la del tercio sur de EE.UU. que fue suyo casi siempre en pacífica convivencia con los indios, al contrario que la violenta conquista posterior anglosajona. Gerónimo hablaba español y que conozca siquiera aproximadamente la verdadera historia de este apache y los bendokes, su tribu; de Cochise y los chiricaguas, de Mangas Coloradas, Victorio, Pósito Moragas, Irigoyen, Ponce… Todos ellos jefes indios en las guerras apaches contra Estados Unidos, uno de los conflictos más sangrientos en la historia de este país en su conquista del Oeste. Aunque en realidad la insurrección apache había comenzado antes, tras la independencia de México. Parece que en la época virreinal no hay conflictos destacables y que los apaches vivían razonablemente integrados dentro del imperio.
Estados Unidos fue en algún momento de su historia parte del imperio español. Estados Unidos ocupó en 1848 el 52% del territorio mexicano. Estamos hablando de más de dos millones de kilómetros cuadrados, o sea, la superficie de España multiplicada por cuatro. En esa franja aproximadamente estaba la Apachería, que es como se denomina la región en la que se asentaron los apaches cuando atravesaron las fronteras del imperio español en el siglo XVIII buscando protección frente a las feroces incursiones de los comanches. Es una pena, pero el paraíso indígena no ha existido nunca más que en los libros. El primer documento que menciona la existencia de los apaches se escribió en Taos en 1702. En 1720 llega allí una embajada apache solicitando permiso para asentarse en el territorio, permiso que es concedido por el gobernador español. Sigue un largo y difícil proceso para acomodar a los apaches en una región donde ya había otros pueblos que no sentían mucha simpatía hacia ellos (El silencio tiene un precio, E. Roca, Revista de Occidente, septiembre de 2018).
Todo esto va dicho para explicar que la puesta en escena mil veces repetida en el wéstern según la cual los blancos avanzan con sus carretas desde el oeste, por territorio inexplorado y habitado por tribus hostiles que nunca han tenido contacto con el hombre blanco, es completamente falsa, porque obvia la existencia de la verdadera realidad con la que el blanco protestante se tropezó conforme ocupaba la mayor parte de los territorios: un mundo hispano mestizó donde había pueblos y se hablaba español, entre otras lenguas. Más o menos lo mismo que había en Arizpe (hoy, en el Estado mexicano de Sonora), donde Gerónimo nació el 1 de junio de 1821. La localidad fue fundada por el jesuita Jerónimo del Canal, por eso el nombre era frecuente entre los bendokes. Estaban bautizados Gerónimo y sus padres, y se conservan las partidas de bautismo recientemente descubiertas (Apaches. Fantasmas de Sierra Madre, M. Rojas, 2008). Eran sedentarios y productivos, es decir, no se dedicaban a las correrías de predatorias. Eso vino después, cuando entre las autoridades mexicanas y las estadounidenses no les dejaron otra opción para sobrevivir.
Puede parecer una exageración considerar que el wéstern forma parte de la leyenda negra, pero con ella comparte dos características esenciales. Primeramente falsifica la realidad histórica por medio de la ficción literaria (cinematográfica en este caso) y la propaganda, y además oculta lo que verdaderamente sucedió operando una gigantesca maniobra de distracción. En realidad, la leyenda negra es eso: una maniobra de distracción, simplona, pero tremendamente eficaz. En este sentido el wéstern conecta con lo que está sucediendo en California, donde le quitan las estatuas a Colón y destrozan las de fray Junípero Serra, una maniobra de distracción WASP (blanco, anglosajón, protestante, por sus siglas en inglés) para tapar a los verdaderos responsables del exterminio de las poblaciones nativas, que no fueron ni Colón ni fray Junípero ni los españoles, como prueba de manera irrefutable una investigación que acaba de ser publicada en la Universidad de Yale (An American Genocide. The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe [Un genocidio americano. Los Estados Unidos y la catástrofe india de California], Benjamin Madley, 2016). El trabajo de Madley es demoledor. Los grandes hombres cuya memoria se venera y se enseña a respetar en las escuelas son los verdaderos culpables. Al día siguiente de haberse incorporado a California a la Unión, el coronel John Frémont, uno de los padres del Estado californiano (tiene calle, plazas, escuelas y hasta una ciudad a la que nadie le quitará el nombre), presentó ante el Senado de Estados Unidos 10 proyectos legales cuyo objetivo era “transferir vastas extensiones de terreno californiano indio a no indios y al nuevo Gobierno estatal” y declaró allí (y así está registrado en el correspondiente diario de sesiones): “La ley española, de manera clara y absoluta, aseguraba a los indios sedentarios derechos de propiedad sobre la tierra que ocupaban. Esto está más allá de lo que este Gobierno puede permitir en sus relaciones con nuestras tribus domésticas”
Sus antepasados rara vez habían peleado contra los españoles, con los que además de conservar sus tierras obtenían protección alrededor de las misiones y cuarteles frente a anglos y tribus norteñas más guerreras. Gerónimo es un héroe, heredero de una colonización española que llenó el territorio de misiones y escuelas, aportó conocimientos agrícolas, ganaderos, incluidos sus imprescindibles caballos, y convivió con los nativos hasta que unos y otros fueron aplastados por los anglos y sus séptimos de caballería.

Janee' Kassanavoid (born January 19, 1995) is an Native American track and field athlete who specializes in the hammer throw.
Professional career
Kassanavoid set her personal best of 78.00 m (255 ft 10 in) on April 30, 2022, in Tucson, Arizona. On July 17, 2022, at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, Kassanavoid won the bronze medal with a distance of 74.86 m. She is Native American—a member of the Comanche Nation—making her the first Native American woman to win a medal at the World Athletics Championships

The territory of the Penateka band of Comanches possessed rich hunting grounds. The talented horsemanship of that band allowed them to dominate their region of the Southern Great Plains. The lands of the southernmost Comanches reached from the headwaters of the central rivers of Texas clear down to the Edwards Plateau.
The well-respected Comanche elder Quassyah shared that the various bands had names. Although the Penateka band has been noted as Honey Eaters, Quassyah voiced that they were like wasps. The powerful warriors raided and suddenly vanished. The Penateka appeared to sting you right now and then fade from sight.
The notable Penateka Comanche Chief Tosahwi (White Knife) was a signer of the Confederate Treaty of 1861 and the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty of 1867.
With a delegation of tribal leaders along with Captain Henry Alvard, the group went to Washington, D. C. in 1872. Chief Tosahwi, his wife Onaweah, and his daughter traveled with other Comanches such as Yamparika Chief Ten Bears.
The delegation met President Grant, his cabinet, and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Francis Walker. Afterward, Commissioner Walker advised that the tribes must live and be within a ten mile distance of Fort Sill or tribal people would be considered to be hostile.

Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: To be a good person.
Keanu Reeves' father is of Native Hawaiian descent
