"Crowfoot stood and watched as the white man spread many one dollar bills on the ground.“This is what the white man trades with; this is his buffalo robe. Just as you trade skins, we trade with these pieces of paper.”When the white chief had laid all his money on the ground and shown how much he would give if the Indians would sign a treaty, Crowfoot took a handful of clay, made a ball out of it and put it on the fire.
It did not crack.
Then he said to the white man, Now put your money on the fire and see if it will last as long as the clay.
The white man said, No….my money will burn because it is made of paper.
With an amused gleam in his eyes the old chief said, Oh, your money is not as good as our land, is it?
The wind will blow it away; the fire will burn it; water will rot it. But nothing will destroy our land.
You don’t make a very good trade.
Then with a smile, Crowfoot picked up a handful of sand from the river bank, handed it to the white man and said, You count the grains of sand in that while I count the money you give for the land.
The white man said, I would not live long enough to count this, but you can count the money in a few minutes.
Very well, said the wise Crowfoot, our land is more valuable than your money. It will last forever.
It will not perish as long as the sun shines and the water flows, and through all the years it will give life to men and animals, and therefore we cannot sell the land.
It was put there by the Great Spirit and we cannot sell it because it does not really belong to us.
You can count your money and burn it with a nod of a buffalo’s head, but only the Great Spirit can count the grains of sand and the blades of grass on these plains.
As a present we will give you anything you can take with you, but we cannot give you the land.

Nanye-hi (Nancy Ward): Beloved Woman of the Cherokee
Nanye-hi was born into the Cherokee Wolf clan circa 1738. In 1755, she stood by her husband during a fight against the Creeks, chewing the lead for bullets in order to provide his ammunition with deadly ridges. When her husband was fatally shot, Nanye-hi grabbed a rifle, rallied her fellow fighters and entered the battle herself. With her on their side, the Cherokee won the day.
These actions led to Nanye-hi being named Ghighau (Beloved Woman) of the Cherokee, a powerful position whose duties included leading the Women’s Council and sitting on the Council of Chiefs. Nanye-hi also took part in treaty talks (to the surprise of male colonists when they were on the other side of the bargaining table).
As the years progressed, some Cherokee wanted to fight the Europeans who continued to crowd into their land. But Nanye-hi, who likely realized the Cherokee couldn’t win against the numerous and well-supplied colonists, thought the two sides needed to learn to live together (she practiced coexistence herself, marrying an Englishman, Bryant Ward, in the late 1750s, which led to her being known as Nancy Ward). At a 1781 treaty conference, Nanye-hi declared, “Our cry is all for peace; let it continue. This peace must last forever.”
Seeking peace didn’t stop Nanye-hi from recognizing the dangers of ceding Cherokee territory — in 1817, she made an unsuccessful plea not to give up more land. When she died in 1822, she’d spent years trying to help her people acclimate to a changing world.

Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?
Native Tribes of North America Mapped
🛒 Order poster from here🧡✊⤵️
https://actorteesprint.com/native-maps
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.

Lakota Leadership:
There was a chief who had a younger wife. He also had a Tahansi - Cousin, who kept messing around with his wife. So this chief said to his wife, (Hecun Sni Yo! - Don't Do That). He said to her, I'm chief here in this village. Don't Do That. You'll make it look bad for yourself. In this way he warned her three times. The third time he said, Hecun Sni Yo Ogna Ksuye Nici Yinkte! - Don't do that, you'll only hurt yourself, so remember. Then his wife and his Tahansi ran off. They both left their village. Then the people watched him to see what he would do. He was suppose to be a brave warrior, a great leader, so he might go after them, might shoot both of them. So the people watched him, but he went about his business normally, maintained his home, his horses, and his village, just went about his business. Then, all of a sudden, one day his woman - at that time they didn't say wife, came back. She went back to his Tipi. He said, Come In, so she went in. The people were watching, just wondering. They thought there would be a real big fight in that Tip, that the Tipi would be bulging here and there, things would get thrown around, but nothing happened. It was quite. So the next day they still watched him but he went about his business normally. The only thing he said to his wife was, Are You Happy Now? You did all this and now you're back. She said Yes. He said Iyo Nicipe Hwo? Are You Happy? She said Yes. So he went about his business. Then one day, his Tahansi - cousin, came back to the village to his parent's Tip. Again the people watched the Chief. They figured that he might get Canzeka - Angry or Nawazi - Jealous and go over there and do something violent. He was the leader, so he might even kick the whole family out. But he didn't do anything unusual.
Then one day he caught two of his best horses, the one he went to war on and the one he caught buffalo with and he put his wife on the best one and piled everything that belonged to his wife and even own things on. He got ready and he sang a song for himself, went all around camp and came up to his Tahansi - cousins Tipi. Right away everybody came out saying Oh-Oh Big trouble! He went up to that Tipi, he sang that song and he Woglake, told his exploits, what he had done, what his life had been like. He called his Leksi na Tunwin - Uncle & Aunt out, and his Tahansi - cousin too. Then he said, Tahansi - cousin, I thought you were my relative, and I thought you were a man that could go out and earn those honors so that you could go pick any available woman in the village, and pick yourself a wife. But you couldn't do it, so I'll give you my other horse I kill buffalo with. I'll honor you because you can't earn these honors for yourself. You've been after my woman, so I'll give her to you. From this day fourth, she's your woman, he said. That Tipi over there, with everything that's in it, that's your new home. You can not do it yourself, you can not go and kill buffalo and get enough hides and build that home for your woman, so you have to take mine. I'm a man, so I'll start a new home. I have enough honor so I can find myself a new woman. Then he gave his wife and everything away. That was a leader.
