AN ODE TO ARIZONA INDIAN YOUTH Through a glass we all see but dimly; The mind cannot fathom ail truth,. Yet now we see some things more 'clearly In regard to America's youth. We have leaned of the Hopi and Pima; We have read of the shrewd Navajo; We have listened to brilliant toitihave; We have touched on the shy Papago. We have read of the warlike Apache; We have read of the Havasupai; We have heard of the few Chemehuevi, And we've read of the far Waiapai. The baskets and rugs we have studied By picture and by actual display; We have learned of symbolic Kachinas And of pottery made from the clay. We have learned of ttle dances and beadwork; We have learned of the cattle and sheep; We have learned of-the clans and the mysteries That these people continue to keep. We have !earned of their life in the present; We have learned of their life in the past; Of Nature -- her whims and her fancies. Truly, their knowledge was vast. We have listened to personal stories; We hove listened to those that know much; We have listened to teachers and students; We have listened to judges and such. Now, why have we read all these pages? And why have we seen all these shows? Why hove we had all these speakers? Has this just been asummer school pose? No, the purpose is really deep-seated. It stems from the wish to serve all. Not only to help our own children. Have we followed the teacher's stern call. By understanding and kindly perception We can serve all the;roes of mani Our special desire in thh workshop Was to learn all theways that we can. We thank our director and helpers. They have listened and helped-and advised; They have aided, sujgested, encouraged-- No effort has been minimized. Perhaps still through the glasswe see dimly; And we still have not fathomed all truth; But we do see some things muchmore clearly In regard to the Indian Youth, By: CYNTHIA FLSON Mesa Public Schools Mesa, Arizona 1957 INDIAN EDUCATION WORKSHOP A.

Shorthair Director Communications & Public Affairs Office Gila River Indian Community P: 520-562-9851 C: 520-610-6218 [email protected] For Immediate Release August 6, 2018 GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY APPLAUDS FEDERAL APPEALS COURT DISMISSAL OF GOLDWATER INSTITUTE LAWSUIT ATTACKING THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT (Sacaton, Arizona) In a victory for Arizona’s Indian tribes, the federal United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled today that the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute’s challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act must be dismissed because the lawsuit was determined to be moot. The lawsuit, filed in Arizona federal court in 2015, challenged the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act, a federal law which requires state courts to apply certain standards to dependency and adoption cases involving Indian children. Although children from the Community and Navajo Nation were identified in the lawsuit, the Goldwater Institute attempted to block the participation of both tribes in the case. The tribes were eventually permitted to intervene in the lawsuit and join in arguments seeking dismissal of the case. The federal court ruled against the Goldwater Institute and the lawsuit was dismissed by the federal court in March of 2017, after which Goldwater appealed to the Ninth Circuit. Today’s decision also dismisses the case. Child welfare experts often refer to ICWA as the “gold standard” of child welfare laws. ICWA was enacted because Native American children were being removed from Indian homes at alarming rates and often without notice to immediate family members, close relatives or tribal authorities.

  • ARIZONA INDIAN GAMING ASSOCIATION • ANNUAL REPORT FY 2006 Letter from the Chairwoman
    ARIZONA INDIAN GAMING ASSOCIATION • ANNUAL REPORT FY 2006 Letter From The Chairwoman It is our pleasure to present the third Annual Report for the Arizona Indian Gaming Association (AIGA). This report celebrates the contributions that gaming tribes are making for all Arizonans. Native people have a tradition of sharing with the community, whether we are sharing our knowledge and wisdom, artistic heritage or our natural or manmade resources. This tradition of cooperation and sharing is common to all tribes and is part of our culture. In Arizona, for example, in the 1800s, when the Pima people saw the needs of the military and settlers, they willingly shared their water and food with them. Sharing is a tradition that repeats throughout our history. With the passage of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) and the subsequent agree- ments reached with the state of Arizona for tribes to establish and continue gaming on their lands, we are now sharing the benefits from our successful enterprises with our own people and with others throughout our state. The magnitude of sharing represents a remarkable change in a very short time frame. Twenty-five years ago, no one could have imagined that Arizona tribes, always the poorest of the poor, would be contributing millions of dollars every year to support education, health care, conservation and tourism to the state of Arizona. Or 1 that hundreds of charities would be helped every year by generous grants and donations from individual tribes. While this report is a celebration of sharing, it is also a call to action.

  • The 239 Year Timeline of America's Involvement in Military Conflict
    The 239 Year Timeline Of America’s Involvement in Military Conflict By Isaac Davis Region: USA Global Research, December 20, 2015 Theme: History, US NATO War Agenda Activist Post 18 December 2015 I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one. – President Theodore Roosevelt The American public and the world have long since been warned of the dangers of allowing the military industrial complex to become such an integral part of our economic survival. The United States is the self-proclaimed angel of democracy in the world, but just as George Orwell warned, war is the health of the state, and in the language of newspeak, democracy is the term we use to hide the reality of the nature of our warfare state. In truth, the United States of America has been engaged in some kind of war during 218 out of the nation’s total 239 years of existence. Put another way, in the entire span of US history, this country has only experienced 21 years without conflict. For a sense of perspective on this sobering statistic, consider these4 facts about the history of US involvement in military conflict: Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year. No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” The U.S. has never gone a decade without war. The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.

From that first muster to serving as the acting Guard of Honor for President Woodrow Wilson during the treaty negotiations ending World War I to the 158th “Bushmasters” being recognized by General Douglas MacArthur as “No greater fighting combat team has ever deployed for battle” to our recent deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, the Arizona National Guard has established a long and distinguished history of service to Arizona and our nation.

  • Diet and Health Among Native American Peoples
    DIET AND HEALTH AMONG NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLES: USING THE PAST TO COMBAT THE PRESENT THREAT OF TYPE II DIABETES Submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Chelsea Robertson Miami University Oxford, Ohio May 2009 Abstract Type II diabetes is a significant problem among many Native American communities. Incorporating elements of prehistoric diets, said to be much lower in fats and sugars than the ubiquitous processed foods of contemporary times, holds some promise in mitigating indigenous peoples’ predisposition to the condition. These diets were usually much more varied and plant-based than those of today, and first-hand collection and processing of foods expended more energy than a trip to the grocery store. A look at prehistoric health also reveals that agriculture was, like the industrial production of food is today, a significant event for human health, making food more accessible but less healthy. Diabetes is high in Native Americans for genetic, cultural, and socio-economic reasons; it originated in abrupt and often forced transitions to processed low-cost foods. The Indian Health Service, the health organization that serves many American Indians and Alaska Natives, is increasingly addressing diabetes, but its power is limited by funding shortages and cultural differences between the biomedical realm it inhabits and Native American cultures. Community organization and grassroots programs, as well as increased tribal control over health facilities, may make diabetes treatment and prevention programs more effective. Native American efforts to curb the diabetes epidemic may also provide models for other groups facing rising diabetes rates, mostly in supporting the tailoring of programs and diabetes education to people with specific histories and identities.

    This file was created by scanning the printed publication. Errors identified by the software have been corrected; however, some errors may remain. Tribal experiences and lessons learned in riparian ecosystem restoration Ronald K. Miller’, James E. Enote*, and Cameron L. Martinez3 Abstract.-Riparian ecosystems have been part of the culture of land use of native peoples in the Southwest United States for thousands of years. The experiences of tribal riparian initiatives to incorporate modern elements of environment and development with cultural needs are relatively few. This paper describes tribal case examples and approaches in riparian manage- ment which may advance discussions of cultural values in resource manage- ment for rural and developing communities such as those on tribal lands in the United States. INTRODUCTION For many tribes in the arid Southwest, rivers, streams, and springs were, and continue to be, the “Mastamho drove a willow stick into the ground and “center of existence.” Neither the people, nor the drew out the water that became the Colorado River unique cultures that developed, could survive and with it came the fish and ducks.
