November Is Native American History Month November is Native American History Month The idea to celebrate the first inhabitants of our land, started out as a celebration of American Indian week in 1986 and in 1990 was expanded to be the month of November. And although National Indigenous Peoples Day is on June 21, this month-long celebration recently updated its name to Native American Heritage Month. Native Americans, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians are all included in these celebrations as the US attempts to recognize their contributions to our shared history, heritage and culture. Indigenous Peoples have contributed to every part of our society, including literature, art, medicine, science, government, the military and many others (Library of Congress, 2020). Join our class as we continue our monthly recognition of the diversity of our society. Charles Curtis (Jan. 25, 1860-Feb. 8, 1936) Charles Curtis was born in Topeka, Kansa/Kaw territory, before it was known as Kansas Territory. His father was of European descent, and his mother of Potawatomi descent. Because of this, he was not given a traditional name. He lived with his maternal grandparents while his father went off to fight in the Civil war, and was taught French and Kaw by his mother before her death. He graduated from Topeka High School at the insistence of his grandparents. He worked as a janitor while studying law in 1879. He subsequently was admitted to the Kansas Bar in 1881 at the age of 21. Later on he went into politics, and served as a republican member of the house of representatives. He later moved to Congress as a senator, and was nominated for Vice President by Herbert Hoover. Curtis was the first person of color to become Vice President of the US, and under his term as Senator, the Kaw nation was legally disbanded. He was a major promoter of the assimilation of the native peoples to European/American culture. Curtis was also part of the team that finally gave women the right to vote.

He was a part of the Oglala Band of the Lakota Sioux Tribe. When he was a boy, he showed valiant courage during battle, which inspired his resistance against American colonists; his father acknowledged his courage during battle and gifted him the name Crazy Horse, his father’s original name. Crazy Horse also had names such as Curly Hair and Horse on Sight. Crazy Horse was raised in the traditional manner of the Lakotas, an important aspect of any tribe member’s adult life, because these games helped them develop defense tactics and learn how to find resources. Visions are important to Lakota warriors and are a symbol of success. He had a vision when he was a teenager, which shaped the way he participated in battle, because the person present in his vision told him not to participate in certain Lakota war traditions. His major influence was when he witnessed a battle in which Warriors of his tribe were killed in mere minutes. From this, he strove to preserve the land of the Lakota Sioux and do whatever it took to preserve that land, even if it involved war. Crazy Horse is an influential figure to this day. He led many rebellions against white colonists, who wished to use their territory for their own benefits. One of his most impactful feats was when he defeated General William Tecumseh Sherman in a series of attacks for gold. They came to an agreement that the natives would receive the Black Hills, areas West of Missouri, and part of Wyoming, and anyone who violated the treaty would be arrested. However, Crazy Horse decided to rebel yet again. He participated in many battles against European colonists, including the Battle of Rosebud and the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Even though he was eventually defeated through his arrest and death, he displays an example of true leadership. He inspires many to fight for causes which are dear to their hearts, and to never let Tashunka-Witko that love fade away. He is memorialized with the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills, an unfinished statue of himself. He died on September 5, 1877. (Crazy Horse) The photo seen at left is one of his memorial.

  • Plains Indians
    Your Name Keyboarding II xx Period Mr. Behling Current Date Plains Indians The American Plains Indians are among the best known of all Native Americans. These Indians played a significant role in shaping the history of the West. Some of the more noteworthy Plains Indians were Big Foot, Black Kettle, Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Spotted Tail. Big Foot Big Foot (?1825-1890) was also known as Spotted Elk. Born in the northern Great Plains, he eventually became a Minneconjou Teton Sioux chief. He was part of a tribal delegation that traveled to Washington, D. C., and worked to establish schools throughout the Sioux Territory. He was one of those massacred at Wounded Knee in December 1890 (Bowman, 1995, 63). Black Kettle Black Kettle (?1803-1868) was born near the Black Hills in present-day South Dakota. He was recognized as a Southern Cheyenne peace chief for his efforts to bring peace to the region. However, his attempts at accommodation were not successful, and his band was massacred at Sand Creek in 1864. Even though he continued to seek peace, he was killed with the remainder of his tribe in the Washita Valley of Oklahoma in 1868 (Bowman, 1995, 67). Crazy Horse Crazy Horse (?1842-1877) was also born near the Black Hills. His father was a medicine man; his mother was the sister of Spotted Tail. He was recognized as a skilled hunter and fighter. Crazy Horse believed he was immune from battle injury and took part in all the major Sioux battles to protect the Black Hills against white intrusion.

The information provided can be modified to fit most ages. Unit One: PERSONALITIES Unit Two: PLAINS INDIAN LIFE-WAYS Unit Three: CLASH OF CULTURES Unit Four: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 Unit Five: BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN Unit Six: IMPACT OF THE BATTLE In 1879 the land where The Battle of the Little Bighorn occurred was designated Custer Battlefield National Cemetery in order to protect the bodies of the men buried on the field of battle. With this designation, the land fell under the control of the United States War Department. It would remain under their control until 1940, when the land was turned over to the National Park Service. Custer Battlefield National Monument was established by Congress in 1946. The name was changed to Little Bighorn National Monument in 1991. This area was once the homeland of the Crow Indians who by the 1870s had been displaced by the Lakota and Cheyenne. The park consists of 765 acres on the east boundary of the Little Bighorn River: the larger north- ern section is known as Custer Battlefield, the smaller Reno-Benteen Battlefield is located on the bluffs over-looking the river five miles to the south. The park lies within the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, one mile east of I-90.

  • Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief
    Maria Tall Chief Maria Tall Chief (later changed to Tallchief) was born in Oklahoma in 1925. Her father was Osage Native American and her mother of Scotch-Irish descent. It had been an unrealized dream of her mom to study dance and music, so Maria and her sister Marjorie were enrolled early in dance and piano lessons. Maria was only three years old when she began dance classes. It wasn’t long before Maria and Marjorie were performing at local rodeos. When she was eight, Maria’s family moved to California with the hope finding an opportunity for the girls in show business. Her mother asked a pharmacist for a recommendation for a dance teacher and was referred to Ernest Belcher, who was Marge Champion’s father. Maria soon moved on to more noted classical teachers of dance, but was also continuing to study piano and saw herself as having a career as a classical pianist. However, she continued with dance and at 17 went to New York looking for a way into the classical world of dance. Tallchief was soon offered a place with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo where she performed for five years. It was there that she met George Balanchine. She eventually married Balanchine and returned to New York. Balanchine had just founded the New York City Ballet and Maria became its first prima ballerina. She was the first American woman and the first Native American to be recognized world wide as a prima ballerina. She was the first American invited to dance with the Bolshoi.
