The American Indian artists in the show — a mother-daughter-cousin-team from the Santa Clara pueblo which is famous for its pottery — proposed creating a line of clay running through the show to connect different works. “It could be a pot at one point or crumbles at another” said Nora Naranjo-Morse the mother. “ur tradition has this idea that energy comes from the belly button. We’d like to reach out to different sections of the show and bring them together into a center. ”By this point one of the artists had placed brown-sugar packets in the white foam-core model of the exhibition space to mark the mud floor of Mr.

First Nations assails census results
Toronto Star – Jan 27, 2008
Last-minute changes made Jan. 15 just before those numbers were released did not fix the problem says Dan Wilson a special adviser to the assembly. He was incensed to learn early that day that the agency had once again based its on-reserve figures on how many people "identify" as being North American Indian. That initially led StatsCan to say that 60 per cent of First Nations live off reserve while 40 per cent live on. Minutes before reporters filed related stories census staff suddenly clarified they should refer more specifically to status Indians and said 55 per cent live off reserve while 45 per cent live on. In Wilson’s view both sets of figures were wrong and could potentially affect funding to cash-strapped First Nations. "This world-class organization that runs on its image and its supposed professionalism had four different numbers within the same half-hour" he said.
In More Cases Combat Trauma Is Taking the Stand

This the prosecutor said led to Mr. Gregg spinning the wheels of his truck and spraying gravel on a car belonging to James Fallis 26 a former high school football lineman who grew up performing American Indian dances on what is called the powwow circuit.

Fairness n the Ballot
Washington Post – Jan 27, 2008
The conventions that govern America’s racial discourse derive from the odious "one drop" rule. According to it anyone with any admixture of black ancestry — one drop of black "blood" — is black. So Connerly is an African American. ne of his grandparents was of African descent one was Irish a third was Irish and American Indian and the fourth was French Canadian. Two of the grandchildren of Connerly and his Irish wife have a Vietnamese mother. Are these grandchildren African Americans?Will the superstitions surrounding race ever fade away? Not before governance is cleansed of the sort of race-based policies opposed by Connerly who intimately knows the increasing absurdity of racial classifications and the folly of government preferences based on them.
Tribes seeking return of remains
San Diego Union Tribune – Jan 27, 2008
“We don't know anything about these people other than they lived on the coast and they were fishermen. ” The remains which a UC consultant says have been dated between 9590 and 9920 years old make them older than Kennewick Man – skeletal remains found on the banks of the Columbia River in 1996. That collection which is at the center of a years-long legal battle between American Indian tribes and archaeologists – dates back 9300 years scientists say. Kennewick Man now rests in The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Washington state while the case is being litigated. The Kumeyaay don't care how old the remains are. They simply want to put what they say are their ancestors to rest. Getting in the way they say are garrulous explanations and bureaucracy.
