As in all aspects of their lives, Native Americans used materials from Nature in ingenious ways to make weapons for hunting, protection, butchering and other daily tasks of living, and war. Various weapons were designed for various tasks: striking, cutting, piercing, and, sometimes, even poisoning. These weapons, as with the clothing, housing, and other artifacts they created, also had rich symbolism and, some were elaborately decorated. Native Americans also created defensive armor in the forms
As Africans, we are familiar with the experience of Colonial conquest.

Unpacks the twenty-one most common myths and misconceptions about Native Americans In this enlightening book, scholars and activists Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker tackle a wide range of myths about Native American culture and history that have misinformed generations. Tracing how these ideas evolved, and drawing from history, the authors disrupt long-held and enduring myths such as: "Columbus Discovered America" "Thanksgiving Proves the Indians Welcomed Pilgrims" "Indians Were Savage and Warlike" "Europeans Brought Civilization to Backward Indians" "The United States Did Not Have a Policy of Genocide" "Sports Mascots Honor Native Americans" "Most Indians Are on Government Welfare" "Indian Casinos Make Them All Rich" "Indians Are Naturally Predisposed to Alcohol" Each chapter deftly shows how these myths are rooted in the fears and prejudice of European settlers and in the larger political agendas of a settler state aimed at acquiring Indigenous land and tied to narratives of erasure and disappearance. Accessibly written and revelatory, "All the Real Indians Died Off" challenges readers to rethink what they have been taught about Native Americans and history.

A warrior poses during the batlle re-enactment at the San Jacinto Battlefield near Lynchburg Texas. The leader of the Texans, Sam Houston, had a long history as a friend to many native American tribes particularly the Cherokees. At the age of 16, Sam, unhappy with farming and storekeeping, ran away from home to live with the Cherokees on Hiwasee Island in the Tennessee River near present-day Dayton, Tennessee. A year later in 1810 Sam returned to his family for a short period before returning to live with the Cherokees. There, he was adopted by Chief Oo-Loo-Te-Ka and is given the Indian name, "The Raven." Because of his knowledge of the Cherokee ways, in 1816, while serving under Andrew Jackson in the Military, Houston was named an Indian sub-agent in Tennessee. In February 1818, Houston led a delegation of Cherokees to Washington, D.C. to meet with Secretary of War John C. Calhoun and President James Monroe. While there he was reprimanded by Secretary Calhoun for wearing Indian dress. In the Summer of 1829 Houston attended a green corn dance and talk at Maynard Bayou, in the Cherokee nation, as John Jolly's representative. There he probably met Tiana Rogers, who would become his wife. Houston becomes very ill with malaria and was treated with Cherokee medicine while staying with Chief Oolooteka (John Jolly), his adopted father. Houston becomes a Cherokee citizen by admission letter issued at Tahlontuskee, Indian Territory. During Mid-December 1829 Houston leaves for Washington to represent the Cherokee Nation. In the summer of 1830-Houston marries Tiana Rogers in a Cherokee Indian ceremony. Houston represented or worked with the Cherokees, Osage, Choctaw and Creeks during his life. They were his friends, family and inlaws; so in the 1830’s when Houston moved to Texas they were often his guests at his homes in Texas, much to dismay of certain other frontiersmen and settlers. Much of the information above comes from the Houston Museum website: www.samhouston.org/ The re-enactor pictured here is an Apache.

These vibrant cultures were slaying their fashion game long before the runway was invented.
I've always loved wild Western films, fascinated by the beauty of the landscapes and the close-to-nature lifestyle of the Indians. For me, there was something romantic about that era. Sadly, almost everyone has forgotten that we are part of this living machine, this almost innumerable life. We siphon everything off, we exploit everything. Back then, these peoples and tribes lived in harmony with their environment. I am fascinated!!! So I thought I would make a series about them. I hope you will all like them!

Most of us head indoors and turn up the furnace when frigid weather hits, stacking in a good supply of wood for the stove or plugging in the old electric throw blanket — and praying that the power doesn’t go out! For the native people of this land, however, they had none of those luxuries. ...
