Brf Public Schools
BRF PUBLIC SCHOOLS HISTORY CURRICULUM RELATED TO AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES GRADES 8-12 COMPONENT The following materials represent ongoing work related to the infusion of American Indian history into the History curriculum of the Black River Falls Public Schools. Our efforts in this area have been ongoing for over 20 years and reflect the spirit of Wisconsin Act 31. SEPTEMBER 2011 UPDATE Paul S Rykken Michael Shepard US History and Politics US History BRFHS BRF Middle School Infusion Applications 1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The Infusion Task Force was established in December of 2009 for the purpose of improving our efforts regarding the infusion of American Indian history and cultural awareness throughout the BRF Public School K-12 Social Studies Curriculum. This action occurred within the context of several other factors, including the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ho-chunk Nation and the School District and the establishment of a Ho-chunk language offering at BRFHS. Our infusion efforts go back to the early 1990s and were originally spurred by the Wisconsin Legislature’s passage of Act 31 related to the teaching of Native American history and culture within Wisconsin’s public schools. The following link will take you to a paper that more fully explains our approach since the early 1990s: http://www.brf.org/sites/default/files/users/u123/InfusionUpdate09.pdf THE 8-12 COMPONENT As with any curriculum-related project, what follows is not the final word. We do our work in an ever- changing environment. The lessons and information included here, however, reflect the most recent (and complete) record of what we are doing within our 8-12 curriculum. -

Isern Chair John K. Cox Kelly Sassi Clifford Canku Approved: 10/21/2019 Mark Harvey Date Department Chair ABSTRACT The Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fires; “Great Sioux Nation”) occupied an area from the woodlands to the Great Plains. The landscape and the wind influenced their language and culture in a way that suggests a long occupation. Major landmarks like Ȟesápa (Black Hills), Matȟó Thípila (Bear Lodge; “Devils Tower”), Pahá Makȟáska (White Earth Butte; White Butte, ND), and Oǧúǧa Owápi (Images Burned Into The Stone; Jeffers Petroglyphs, MN) were woven into the cultural identity of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ. The pictographic record, traditional song, and oral tradition recall events like first contact with the horse at the Čhaŋsáŋsaŋ Ožáte (White Birch Fork), or the James River-Missouri River confluence in C.E. 1692. The historical pictographic record, oral tradition, and occupation will be examined in this paper to support the idea that Očhéthi Šakówiŋ have a cultural occupation of the Great Plains that long predates the European record. -

Ryan Zinke, Secretary Attn: Tara Sweeney, Assistant Secretary U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C St., N.W. Washington, DC 20240 Via email: [email protected] Re: Comments on Land-Into-Trust Regulations (25 C.F.R. Part 151) Dear Secretary Zinke and Assistant Secretary Sweeney: The Oglala Sioux Tribe is a Federally recognized Indian tribe, one of the constituent tribes of the Great Sioux Nation, and a signatory to the 1851 Treaty between the United States and the Sioux Nation and the 1868 Treaty between the United States and the Great Sioux Nation. The Oglala Sioux Tribe submits these comments on the BIA outreach meetings on acquisition of Indian trust land by the Secretary of the Interior: No regulatory amendments are required at the present time. The Secretary should restore authority to the BIA Regions to acquire land into trust on behalf of Indian tribes and individual Indians. The Secretary should mandate that the BIA Regional Directors prioritize and expedite the acquisition of Indian trust lands for Indian tribes and individuals to enhance restorative justice, promote Indian self-determination, support self- government, encourage economic development, and foster cultural survival and community wellness. BACKGROUND: 1851 AND 1868 TREATIES Under the 1851 and 1868 Treaties, the Great Sioux Nation reserved 21 million acres of western South Dakota from the low water mark on the east bank of the Missouri River as our “permanent home” and 44 million acres of land in Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota as unceded Indian territory from among our original Lakota, Nakota, and Dakota territory. -

Overview The Oglala Sioux Tribe (“Tribe”) appreciates the opportunity to submit these comments regarding tribal input on federal infrastructure decision-making. The United States’ consistent failure to obtain our informed consent prior to approving infrastructure projects that impact our lands, waters, and cultural resources, is a direct violation of our rights under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie and the 1868 Sioux Nation Treaty as well as an abdication of the federal government’s trust responsibilities. The processes for evaluating environmental and historical impacts and for seeking tribal input are broken, leading to stand offs such as the one currently occurring at Standing Rock. In the absence of meaningful tribal consultation, major federal infrastructure projects can pose unique threats to tribes. The lands and resources upon which our cultures, spirituality, and subsistence depend can be altered forever or completely destroyed. In the context of large-scale infrastructure development or extractive industries, the federal government can and must do a better job of consulting with tribes. If the federal government is taking action that impacts our lands, resources, or rights, then it needs to obtain our informed consent. Purely procedural consultation requirements with little oversight, “check the box consultation,” or downright skirting consultation requirements have been wholly insufficient for protecting tribal interests. -

My sisters and I were so used to packing up and hitting the road in the family station wagon (later a minivan), that our childhood trips blur together. Oftentimes we visited our paternal grandparents in Sidney, Nebraska, or our maternal grandparents in Lincoln, Nebraska. But on special occasions we would take lengthy road trips that ended with destinations in the Appalachian Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, and Myrtle Beach. As an ―East River‖ South Dakotan, driving six hours west to visit the Black Hills was hardly as exciting as going to the beach. -

Cheyenne River Agency (See Also Upper Platte Agency)
Cheyenne River Agency (see also Upper Platte Agency) Established in 1869, this agency is sometimes called the Cheyenne Agency. The agency was located on the west bank of the Missouri River below the mouth of the Big Cheyenne River, about six miles from Fort Sully. The following Lakota bands settled at Cheyenne Agency: Miniconjou, Sihasapa, Oohenunpa, and Itazipco. Headmen at this agency included: Lone Horn, Red Shirt, White Swan, Duck, and Big Foot of the Miniconjou; Tall Mandan, Four Bears, and Rattling Ribs of the Oohenunpa; and Burnt Face, Charger, Spotted Eagle, and Bull Eagle of the Itazipco. Today the reservation is located in north-central South Dakota in Dewey and Ziebach counties. The tribal land base is 1.4 million acres with the eastern boundary being the Missouri River. Major communities include Cherry Creek, Dupree, Eagle Butte, Green Grass, Iron Lightning, Lantry, LaPlant, Red Scaffold, Ridgeview, Thunder Butte, and White Horse. Arvol Looking Horse, 19th generation keeper of the Sacred Pipe of the Great Sioux Nation, lives at Green Grass.

SBCC-Report Revised
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The 730-acre property at Sitting Bull Crystal Caverns (SBCC) is of great significance to the geological history of the Black Hills, as well as the histories of South Dakota tourism and, most importantly, of the Oceti Sakowin (“Great Sioux Nation”). Located about ten miles south of downtown Rapid City on Highway 16, the property sits in the heart of the sacred Black Hills (Paha Sapa), which are the creation place of the Lakota people. The Sitting Bull Cave system—named after the famed Hunkpapa leader, who is said to have camped on the property in the late 1800s—is located in the “Pahasapa limestone,” a ring of sedimentary rock on the inner edges of the “Racetrack” described in Lakota oral traditions. There are three caves in the system. The deepest, “Sitting Bull Cave,” boasts some of the largest pyramid-shaped “dog tooth spar” calcite crystals anywhere in the world. The cave opened to tourists after significant excavation in 1934 and operated almost continuously until 2015. It was among the most successful early tourist attractions in the Black Hills, due to the cave’s stunning beauty and the property’s prime location on the highway that connects Rapid City to Mount Rushmore. 2. The Duhamel Sioux Indian Pageant was created by Oglala Holy Man Nicholas Black Elk and held on the SBCC grounds from 1934 to 1957. Black Elk was a well-known Oglala Lakota whose prolific life extended from his experience at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 to the publication of Black Elk Speaks in 1932 and beyond. -
