**********************************
Native American Stereotype
**********************************

Stereotypes can be erased by raising awareness
The world of contemporary American and European infants and young children is saturated with inappropriate images of Native Americans.
It is to be expected, that young children who continuously assimilate the stereotyped portrayal of Native Americans in their schools , books, mascots, television programs, movies and toys eventually develop attitudes toward them that are not only unrealistic but also negative.
Native American Children who frequently encounter stereotyped images of Indians are hindered in developing a feeling of pride in their heritage and in developing a healthy self-image and racial identity.

Early Native American Clothing

Native American clothing was usually made by brain tanning animal skins and was decorated with feathers , beads , shells, porcupine quills, colorful stones, and paints or dyes, It often reflected the cultural preferences and environmental conditions found in different regions. Both the style and the materials used varied and it was sometimes adorned with elaborate designs and colorful motifs that would often serve to identify the tribal group and the time period it was manufactured.

Native American Poem
**********************************
Submitted by: CM, Red Willow
"Honor The Grass"
In the generations that pass
as the grass surely does grow
We have an obligation to those gone before us to know.
What were their thoughts and their ways
How did they pass their time, their days.

What guided them through their lives
And allowed them always to hold their heads up high,
Was it legend, the smell of Great Earth,
Or was it all that they had learned early on from birth.

What has happend to our world in which there are few rituals,
And young people do not know how to pass,
Through life's many stages...
Or simply to honor the grass.

**********************************
***** An Indian Prayer *****
**********************************
Geronimo
"While living I want to live well.
I know I have to die sometime,
but even if the heavens were to fall on me
I want to do what is right.

There is only one God looking down on us all.
We are all children of the one God.
God is listening to me.
The sun,
the darkness,
the winds,
all are listening
to what we now say..."

**********************************
Native American Humor
**********************************
The Devil had gone down to the Rez. He came with fire and brimstone.
All Hell broke loose and all the people were running 'n' screaming, trying to get away from the Devil. Except for one old man.

"Aren't you afraid?" the Devil asked. The old man replied, "Heck no. I been married to your sister for a long time now."
