Languages and traditions are threatened with extinction. When this happens, unique knowledge, beliefs and histories are wiped out. First Peoples understand well the challenges and tensions that can erode a sense of self and belonging. Yet, they have shown remarkable resilience in both preserving ancient identities and forging new ones. Whether building on the rich textures of the past or fearlessly transforming contemporary fashion, First Nations, Inuit and Métis use clothing to communicate the strength and meaning of their lives. An exploration of First Peoples dress is a compelling and emotional experience – one that must follow interwoven threads of community and spirituality, resistance and accommodation, history and innovation.

Several million years ago a long arm of the Pacific Ocean extended from the Gulf of California though the present Imperial and Coachella valleys, then northwesterly through the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. Mountain ranges rose on either side of this great inland sea, and the whole area came up out of the water. Oyster beds in the San Felipe Mountains, on the west side of Imperial Valley are located many hundreds of feet above present sea level.

    United States Department of the Interior Washingron, DC 20240 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OCT 1 5 2020 The Honorable Bill Anoatubby Governor, Chickasaw Nation Post Office Box 1548 Ada, Oklahoma 74821 Dear Governor Anoatubby: In 2016, the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma (Nation) submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) an application to transfer into trust two parcels of lands, totaling approximately 61.63 acres and collectively known as the Kingston Property, near the City of Kingston, Marshall County, Oklahoma (Site) for gaming and other purposes.1 Nation also requested a determination of eligibility to conduct gaming on the Site. The Nation seeks to develop a casino-resort (Proposed Project). We have completed our review of the Nation's request and the documentation in the record. As discussed below, it is my determination that the Site will be transferred into trust for the benefit of the Nation pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. § 5108. Once transferred into trust, the Nation may conduct gaming on the Site pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, 25 U.S.C. § 2719. Background The Nation historically occupied its homelands in what are today Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky. In 1832, following a series of land cessions, the Nation ultimately ceded the remainder of its lands in exchange for land west of the Mississippi River.2 The United States established the boundaries of the Nation's reservation in Oklahoma in the Treaty of 1855.3 In 1897, under the authority of the General Allotment Act, the Nation joined the Choctaw Nation in negotiations with the Dawes Commission.

NEW TITLES The Generous Fish BY JACQUELINE JULES, ILLUSTRATED BY FRANCES TYRRELL Inspired by Jewish folklore, The Generous Fish is the story of a young boy named Reuven who takes a verse from scripture to “cast your bread upon the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1) quite literally. The result of his daily act is a giant talking fish with golden scales! Boy and fish spend idyllic days together until the villagers realize those scales are real gold. Every villager has good reason to ask for one. Devorah needs clothes for her children. Old Joseph needs money for a cane. The fish says he has plenty to share. But he grows weak from giving away too much, too fast. Can Reuven stand up to the village and save his friend? Jacqueline Jules is the author of forty books for young readers, including the award-winning Zapato Power series, Never Say a Mean Word Again: A Tale from Medieval Spain, and Feathers for Peacock. A former school librarian and teacher, Jacqueline enjoys visiting schools to share her passion for reading and writing. She is a word person, who loves rearranging words on the page, the same way people have fun fitting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together. Jacqueline lives in Arlington, Virginia.
