A legend of Devil's TowerBruleOut of the plains of Wyoming rises Devil's Tower. It is really a rock, visible for hundreds of miles around, an immense cone of basalt which seems to touch the clouds. It sticks out of the flat prairie as if someone had pushed it up from underground.Of course, Devil's Tower is a white man's name. We have no devil in our beliefs and got along well all these many centuries without him. You people invented the devil and, as far as I'm concerned, you can keep him. But everybody these days knows that towering rock by this name, so Devil's Tower it is.
No use telling you its Indian name. Most tribes call it bear rock. There is a reason for that - if you see it, you will notice on its sheer sides many, many streaks and gashes running straight up and down, like scratches made by giant claws.
Well, long, long ago, two young Indian boys found themselves lost in the prairie. You know how it is. They had played shinny ball and whacked it a few hundred yards out of the village. And then they had shot their toy bows still farther out into the sagebrush. And then they had heard a small animal make a noise and had gone to investigate.
They had come to a stream with many colorful pebbles and followed that for a while. They had come to a hill and wanted to see what was on the other side. On the other side they saw a herd of antelope and, of course, had to track them for a while.
When they got hungry and thought it was time to go home, the two boys found that they didn't know where they were. They started off in the direction where they thought their village was, but only got farther and farther away from it. At last they curled up beneath a tree and went to sleep.
They got up the next morning and walked some more, still headed the wrong way. They ate some wild berries and dug up wild turnips, found some chokecherries, and drank water from streams. For three days they walked toward the west. They were footsore, but they survived.
Oh, how they wished that their parents, or aunts or uncles, or elder brothers and sisters would find them. But nobody did.
On the fourth day the boys suddenly had a feeling that they were being followed. They looked around and in the distance saw Mato, the bear. This was no ordinary bear, but a giant grizzly so huge that the two boys would only make a small mouthful for him, but he had smelled the boys and wanted that mouthful. He kept coming close, and the earth trembled as he gathered speed.
The boys started running, looking for a place to hide, but there was no such place and the grizzly was much much faster than they. They stumbled, and the bear was almost upon them. They could see his red, wide-open jaws full of enormous, wicked teeth. They could smell his hot, evil breath. The boys were old enough to have learned to pray, and they called upon Wakan Tanka, the Creator:
"Tunkashila, Grandfather, have pity, save us."
All at once the earth shook and began to rise. The boys rose with it. Out of the earth came a cone of rock going up, up until it was more than a thousand feet high. And the boys were on top of it. Mato the bear was disappointed to see his meal disappearing into the clouds.
Have I said he was a giant bear? This grizzly was so huge that he could almost reach to the top of the rock, trying to get up, trying to get those boys. As he did so, he made big scratches in the sides of the towering rock. But the stone was too slippery; Mato could not get up. He tried every spot, every side. He scratched up the rock all around, but it was no use. The boys watched him wearing himself out, getting tired, giving up. They finally saw him going away, a huge, growling, grunting mountain of fur disappearing over the horizon.
The boys were saved. Or were they? How were they to get down? They were humans, not birds who could fly.
Some ten years ago, mountain climbers tried to conquer Devil's Tower. They had ropes, and iron hooks called pitons to nail themselves to the rockface, and they managed to get up. But they couldn't get down. They were marooned on that giant basalt cone, and they had to be taken off in a helicopter. In the long-ago days the Indians had no helicopters.
So how did the two boys get down? The legend does not tell us, but we can be sure that the Great Spirit didn't save those boys only to let them perish of hunger and thirst on the top of the rock.
Well, Wanblee, the eagle, has always been a friend to our people. So it must have been the eagle that let the boys grab hold of him and carried them safely back to their village.
Or do you know another way?

Lily Gladstone support ✔✔
The first Native American actress to win a Golden Globe

Lily Gladstone - who plays "Killers of the Flower Moon" - once wanted to quit acting, before director Martin Scorsese invited her to act with Leonardo DiCaprio.
At the Golden Globe Awards ceremony , Lily Gladstone won the trophy for Best Actress in a Drama Movie, the first time she was nominated. According to Hollywood Reporter , the award helped her become the first NATIVE AMERICAN actor (of Native American ethnicity) to win at the Golden Globe, for the role of Mollie Burkhart - film Killers of the Flower Moon directed by Martin Scorsese.
On The Wrap , Gladstone hopes to create opportunities for global audiences to see images of indigenous people on screen. "I hope there are many works that expand the audience's perspective, placing viewers in historical moments. I hope the film creates a new precedent for filmmakers who want to work with historical materials and with communities." indigenous community," the artist said.
This message of hers was also conveyed in her speech in the language of the Blackfeet Indians - a tribe living in the state of Montana (USA):
"I am very grateful to be able to speak a little of my mother tongue, a language that I am not fluent in, on this stage. This is a historic victory, not just mine, but also for those who actors who play my mother and sisters in the film. This award is for every little indigenous child out there who has a dream and is represented in a story told by an indigenous person in their own voice."
Before accepting the role in Martin Scorsese's film, there was a time when Lily Gladstone wanted to quit acting. In 2012, Gladstone first appeared in the movie Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian in a supporting role. It wasn't until four years later that the actress's name became known to the audience when she appeared in Certain Women (2016), directed by Kelly Reichardt. The work earned Gladstone the Outstanding Supporting Actress trophy at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and the Boston Film Critics Association Awards...

In 1871, Fort Sill Indian School was founded as a Quaker boarding school. In 1891, the school was no longer affiliated with any certain religious denomination. It continued to be nonsectarian until the school adjacent to Lawton, Oklahoma was closed in 1980.
In it's early history, strict discipline and authority was a daily part of the school. Government issued clothing, and numbers were given out to the students. Additionally, the boys and girls spent a half day in the classroom and then a half day working in a vocation. The boys helped on the school's farm as well as chopping wood.
With the consent of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1890, contractors soon built a two story frame school building. Different from the earlier Quaker school, U. S. government employees ran the institution under government rules. Girl students were the first occupants of the new building. The school had 23 Comanches and 19 Kiowas listed on the initial student roster. In 1892, a dormitory for boys and a stone school building were built on the campus. By 1896, a kindergarten teacher became employed at the school. In 1899, the school had added vocational training for blacksmithing, carpentry, wagon making, and harness making.
Through various physical activities and sports at Fort Sill Indian School, the Comanche student Eldridge "Hume" Fuller, who was born in 1904, shared the following:

"We had a good baseball team. We won the district plumb to Concho. We went to Concho and won baseball, and Anadarko, and Riverside. In April they have them field meets. Schley Tahkofper played first base and them Chebata boys, one pitched and one caught, Boy, was they good!"

Crazy Horse, of the Oglala Lakota tribe, played an integral role in the Battle of Little Bighorn, also known as Custer’s Last Stand. His likeness is now carved into a Black Hills mountain at The Crazy Horse Memorial. The famous leader resisted having his photograph taken, often responding to picture requests with “would you imprison my shadow too?” The memorial sculptor created his likeness based on descriptions from those who knew him. The grand visage, cut into granite, intends to honor the Native American values that Crazy Horse fought for and defended...!❤️ Thank you for reading and liking the article

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.
The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in North America about 15 thousand years ago. As a result, a wide diversity of communities, societies, and cultures finally developed on the continent over the millennia.The population figure for Indigenous peoples in the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus was 70 million or more.
About 562 tribes inhabited the contiguous U.S. territory. Ten largest North American Indian tribes: Arikara, Cherokee, Iroquois, Pawnee, Sioux, Apache, Eskimo, Comanche, Choctaw, Cree, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Navajo, Seminole, Hope, Shoshone, Mohican, Shawnee, Mi’kmaq, Paiute, Wampanoag, Ho-Chunk, Chumash, Haida.
Below is the tribal map of Pre-European North America.
The old map below gives a Native American perspective by placing the tribes in full flower ~ the “Glory Days.” It is pre-contact from across the eastern sea or, at least, before that contact seriously affected change. Stretching over 400 years, the time of contact was quite different from tribe to tribe. For instance, the “Glory Days” of the Maya and Aztec came to an end very long before the interior tribes of other areas, with some still resisting almost until the 20th Century.
At one time, numbering in the millions, the native peoples spoke close to 4,000 languages.
The Americas’ European conquest, which began in 1492, ended in a sharp drop in the Native American population through epidemics, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, and slavery.
When the United States was founded, established Native American tribes were viewed as semi-independent nations, as they commonly lived in communities separate from white immigrants.
