 A People Remembers
The Diné and the Bosque Redondo Memorial
Recently, my family and I visited Fort Sumner, New Mexico. We came in anticipation of the official establishment of a memorial to the Diné’s Long Walk and their Bosque Redondo experiences, which will take place in June 2005 (see “Happening,” May/June 2005). As we drove the two and half hours from Albuquerque, we were often silent, left with our own thoughts, imagining the trek on foot.

Petroforms
|
Throughout the ages, mankind has created relationships with the stars. Cultures wove their beliefs and traditions into stories told around campfires or inside their homes. While modern man typically considers this sharing process to have been mostly an oral tradition, perhaps some enterprising ancient North Americans also put their cosmology into a more permanent record. Instead of paper, they used the ground; instead of pens and pencils, they used colored stones.

Would you like a digital edition of Native Peoples magazine?
There are certainly pros and cons. Digital magazines can be downloaded at will and archived on disk. But, if you\'re on dial-up, that can take forever. For some, curling up in a favorite chair with a magazine is part of the experience.

The Art of Translation: Native American Theatre in the Global Community

By Rhiana Yazzie (Navajo)
As an emerging playwright, in the spring of 2004 I was fortunate to have the opportunity through the California Arts Council, for my one-act play, The Long Flight, to be translated into Spanish and given a staged reading for an international audience at the 30th International Theatre Institute’s World Congress in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The experience not only broadened my view of world theatre but also my understanding of the role theatre plays in specific communities.

Inuit Carving
 They have charmed visitors to the Arctic for centuries, and today stone carvings by the Inuit people of Canada are treasured by collectors worldwide. They come in a rich array of sizes and materials, and today in themes as well. While rooted in the ancient past of the Inuit, these modern works can stand beside any of the world’s finest contemporary art. Yet, almost all of the sculpture, even the most abstract and progressive, retains a distinctive look and feel that harks back...

 Sarah Winnemucca
Paiute Activist & Spokesperson
Sarah Winnemucca (1844–1891) was one of the most influential and charismatic Native American women in American history. Born near the Humboldt River Sink in Nevada to a legendary family of Paiute leaders at a time when the Paiutes’ homeland and way of life were increasingly threatened by the influx of Anglo settlers, Sarah later wrote that the white men “came like a lion, yes, like a roaring lion, and have continued so ever since.”

 Like

water, and the deeper songs of rocks and the earth itself...

Indianische Krippenszenen
Interkulturelles Weihnachten
Von Gussie Fauntleroy
Leitartikel in Native Peoples, November/Dezember 2007

Seit Jahrhunderten haben Künstler die Heilige Familie in Krippenszenen
oder auf Spanisch „nacimientos“ genannt, in Materialien und mit Figuren
dargestellt, entsprechend ihrer eigenen Kultur und der jeweiligen Zeit.
In den späten 1950er Jahren und frühen 1960er Jahren begannen
indianische Künstler aus New Mexico komplette Krippenszenen zu
gestalten mit der Heiligen Familie, Tieren und den Weisen Männern, die
Geschenke in Form von Mais, frittiertem Brot und Pueblo Gefäßen bei

lives of those long gone. You can view the altars used by long-dead
priests and see the bones of their sacrificial victims without a glass
