Go Forward With Courage
When you are in doubt, be still, and wait; when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still; be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists -- as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota.
The largest sculpture in the world, Crazy Horse Memorial, is located about five miles north of Custer and seventeen miles from Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
It all began in 1939 when Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear asked sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski to carve a memorial to the spirit of Lakota leader Chief Crazy Horse and his culture.
“The red man has great heroes, also,” Chief Standing Bear said.

I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.

Corn
Although it’s now a common crop, corn was carefully cultivated by ancient farmers as far back as 10,000 years ago. Native Americans then taught European settlers how to grow it.
“Everybody knows about corn, but they don’t know that it’s a food that wouldn’t exist without human intervention,” De Gennaro points out.
Farmers in northern Guatemala and southern Mexico selectively bred teosinte, a wild grass, over many generations to enlarge the ear and create kernels soft enough for humans to eat. Once they’d developed the corn plant, this innovation spread throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Great photograph! ❤️.

Each line on a Native Americans face is a badge of honor, every line holds sacred knowledge from their experiences in this life. Like the tree that has lines in their inner trunk for every year it has existed and holds the knowledge of all those years, so does these lines show the knowledge amassed in these faces. For honor and respect were shown to these elders, and the more lines meant more knowledge to share. For these Elders usually had the last word for the most important decisions for the well being of their Nation. These lines had just as much stature as Eagle feathers collected and they were shown proudly. We did not see beauty as young appearance but saw beauty and gave reverance to these lines. Ekosi.

THE BUFFALO NICKEL, AND 'END OF THE TRAIL' SCULPTURE:
The most heartbreaking image in Native American history, is that of the lone warrior slumped over on his horse. Even the horse itself appears to be on the verge of collapse. The buffalo has long disappeared, along with the old ways. the Indian Wars are over, and this warrior has surrendered even in spirit. All has been lost. For him, there is nothing to live for.

Your daily reminder that Indigenous people predated Columbus in the “new world” by — wait for it — 23,000 years..

Image Description:
The picture is a black and white photograph of a young indigenous girl. She is looking directly into the camera with a relaxed expression. She is wearing a traditional shawl and beaded necklaces.
Her hair has been parted in the middle placed in large buns that fan out in an arch on either side of her head.
In a white text box in front of her, the quote says: "May the 4th be... A day where we give the land back to indigenous people" in black text. The hashtag StarWars Day is written beneath. There are small stars on either side of the text box

Yes they do 💯‼️Yes they do 💯‼️

Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?
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.

Oregon Indigenous. There are nine federally recognized tribes with reservation lands in Oregon. Those nine tribes have about 24,500 members, according to the latest figures.
Some prominent Indigenous tribes of Oregon include:
Chinook: This tribe primarily resided in the coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest and had a significant influence on the region's trade and language.
Kalapuya: This group inhabited central and western Oregon, with numerous branches and subdivisions.
Klamath: The Klamath tribe lived in the Klamath and Agency Lake regions in southern Oregon.
Modoc: This tribe lived in both Oregon and California, with a portion of their territory now situated in Klamath County, Oregon.
Nez Perce: While also present in Idaho and Washington, some Nez Perce tribal members resided in eastern Oregon.
Paiute: Among the largest Indigenous groups in Oregon, the Paiute people have numerous branches and subdivisions spread across the state.
They range in size from the Burns Paiute Tribe, with 349 members, to the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, with 5,200 members. There are smaller tribes not on the that list, including the Takelma Tribe, whose members lived in the Rogue Valley until they were forcibly moved to the Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations in northern Oregon in the 1800s. Some members of that tribe have returned to Southern Oregon, notably tribal spokeswoman Agnes Baker Pilgrim, the granddaughter of a Takelma chief. The estimated population of all Native Americans in Oregon — including tribal members, members of tribes without federal recognition and those who self-identify as American Indian or Alaskan Native — was 109,223 in the 2010 Census.
Here’s the list of the nine tribes with reservation lands, with the number of members, per the Blue Book: Burns Paiute Tribe, 349 members. Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw, 953 members. Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, 5,200 members. Confederated Tribes of Siletz, 4,677 members. Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, 2,893 members. Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation, 4,306 members. Coquille Indian Tribe, 963 members. Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe, 1,536 members. Klamath Tribes, 3,700 members.
These Indigenous tribes have rich cultural heritages and have historically played integral roles in shaping the region's history and identity. Despite facing significant challenges and disruptions due to colonization and historical injustices, they continue to preserve and honor their traditions, languages, and ways of life in contemporary society.

Every day is a memorial day for them
