  • When Does a Child Realize Her Ethnicity? I Never Saw Myself As Separate Or Different As a Child Growing up in Denver, Colorado
    BY PattY TALAHONGVA When does a child realize her ethnicity? I never saw myself as separate or different as a child growing up in Denver, Colorado. Perhaps it was because my classmates in Headstart were a diverse bunch. Perhaps it was because the powwows my family attended had both Native and non-Native people coming together. Perhaps it was because Denver was a mixed race city. I’m not sure. My family had moved to Denver under the U.S. Government’s relocation program that targeted the Hopi and Navajo people in Arizona, and many other tribes across the nation. The idea was to move the younger generation off the reservations and into cities where they could “assimilate” into mainstream society. The more sinister goal may have been to wipe out the reservation system and kill the Native cultures. The program gave the families money to move, $19 in my parents’ case, and set up host families in each city to help those relocated find a place to live and get jobs for the men. My father was hired at a bakery. We lived in Denver for nine years; my younger 24 expedition Volume 55 Number 3 sister and I were born there. Then my family moved back and I didn’t like being called a freckle. Image matters and I home to Arizona and closer to our reservation so we could reassured myself that I was “okay” even when boys pulled participate in our Native culture and religion. on my thick black braids and teased me about having In Arizona I was around more white people than ever “horse hair.” Yet, in my teens I was amused to see my peers before and that’s when I started to see some differences.

  • Pictures of Our Nobler Selves
    Pictures of Our Nobler Selves Mark N. Trahant 51 Pictures of Our Nobler Selves: A history of Native American contributions to news media. By Mark N. Trahant © 1995. The Freedom Forum First Amendment Center 1207 18th Avenue South Nashville, TN 37212 website: http://www.fac.org Publication number: 95-FO5 First Printing: October 1995 46 Foreword There is an old Sioux adage that goes: “A people without history is like wind on the buffalo grass.” Many citizens across the nation currently are upset because many American Indians deeply resent and protest against distorted depictions of them in the media. Residents of cities such as Atlanta and Cleveland and Kansas City don’t understand why members of most Native American tribes object to cartoon-like portrayals of them as Braves or Indians or Chiefs. Part of the answer, of course, is that Native Americans, having been stripped of identity, dignity and distinction for more than two centuries, are convinced that false media caricatures have helped rob them of their history. This report by Mark Trahant, the executive news editor of The Salt Lake Tri- bune, fills a large blank in that history and addresses in-depth, for the first time, a fascinating incongruity: the contributions made by Native Americans to the news media in the United States—a media that has played a key role in creating the flawed portrait. Trahant, a Shoshone-Bannock, worked as a scholar at The Freedom Forum First Amendment Center, researching and reporting on those contributions. His study documents them, ranging from the work of Elias Boudinot, who in 1827 became the founding editor of The Cherokee Phoenix, to Ora Eddleman Reed, a Cherokee who became the first Native American talk show host in 1924, to Hattie Kauffman, a Nez Perce journalist for ABC News who in 1989 was the first American Indian to report a news story on national television.
