How The Powwow Began...
"Powwow
was an Algonquin term, "pauwau" or "pauau", which referred to a gathering of
medicine men and spiritual leaders. "Pauwauing" referred to a religious
ceremony, usually one of curing. In the 1800's the European explorers
observing these religious gatherings and dances mispronounced the word as
powwow. (Jennings, The Invasion of America, p. 241.)
In 1646 the Massachusetts General Court decreed that “no Indian shall at any time pawwaw, or perform outward worship to their false gods, or to the devil....” (~From William Marder)
The two syllables pow and wow are not separated or hyphenated. The word appears as "powwow".
Native American ceremonies, commonly
known as powwows, have evolved from a formal ceremony of the past into a modern
blend of dance, family reunion, and festival. Powwows are famous for their
pageantry of colors and dance which have been adapted and changed since their
beginnings into a bright, fast, and exciting event geared towards Native
Americans and visitors alike.
Today powwows are held all across the North American continent, from small towns
such as White Eagle, Oklahoma, to some of the largest, such as Los Angeles,
California. They can take place anywhere from cow pastures to convention
centers, and occur year round. These festivals last only one weekend, but
usually draw Native Americans and visitors from hundreds and even thousands of
miles away.
GRANDMOTHER L. COTA NUPAH MAKAH SPEAKS

The Standing Nation (Trees) and the Giveaway Bird (Turkey) by L. Cota Nupah Makah
My daily walks take me along the river where there are still small areas of ice clinging to the cold rocks. Snow patches hide here and there in the awakening plants and trees. Soon the salmon and trout must make the journey up the small streams to spawn. But the main rivers run high and wild with the constant rain, making it impossible for this to happen.

Colorado Dreamin'
(Harrison, AR - July 30, 2009) I am back into the temple, where the waters comes out from the womb, it is so beautiful everywhere, felt good to come back home, to come into the mothers world.
I have been on top of the mountain in Colorado, where beauty is everywhere. I needed a new perspective. I needed to talk to the Father on top of the mountain. I needed to touch the heart of the many. We created such a beautiful space of love, it was so much that tears of happiness and beauty were everywhere. It happened in the temple of beautiful Sally where many hearts were touched. The bridges were there -- the beautiful sisters and brothers that are the bridge for the many. It all felt like April, a beautiful long awaited springtime when our hearts are cold. So my April was there, full of heart, full of beauty, creating the bridge, while the new Templars were awakened, as the witness, with all his heart.
GRANDMOTHER SELMA SPEAKS:
By Gram Selma Palmer, Ocali Nation
The Old Ways......
The ways of our ancestors, the way of tried and true traditions, the instructions Creator gave the people to prosper and be one with all living forms. Some elders hold that knowledge and they are the ones to seek out for counsel to learn, so the truths may be passed to the next generation.
Anytime in the Native American community at large, when an elder crosses over to the Creator and beyond our realm, we are filled with mixed emotions. We know in our heart that Creator would not have called them unless it was time to do so, and that even on this realm that calling has effects that ripple all over the world...to a greater or lesser degree. When an elder has been sick or ill for some time, we somewhat expect that crossing to be in the near future. But when tragedy strikes without warning and an elder is taken from this realm without warning we feel a loss that is beyond verbalization.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM VENEZUELA
Freedom: The First Fruit of Democracy
Moroco! Moroco! Moroco! (Awaken, Awaken, Awaken!) Brothers and Sisters of the North, Central and South!
At long last, after five hundred and seventeen years of deep slumber, the Condor of the South and the Eagle of the North, indigenous peoples everywhere have awakened and are now about to shake hands across the hemisphere.
The Creator, gods and goddesses, caretakers of the air, water, lands and forests, all are about to meet. The meeting place is Manataka!
As if by a brain wave or inspiration of the Great Spirit, some courageous Elders of the Imataka Mountain range, are making a pioneering trip to Manataka (Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA), a sacred site of all indigenous peoples of this hemisphere.
The Wheels of Evolution -- positive and negative impacts
Following the great land fall of Christopher Columbus on the shores of the New World, the Western Hemisphere. the discovery of gold changed the course of history of Mother Earth and her populations. Dying kingdoms of Western Europe were regenerated and converted into powerful empires. All aspects of European culture soared to its highest. As the quest for gold continued, a path of carnage was cut across the hemisphere; causing millions of gallons of indigenous blood to spill, while hundreds of tribes completely disappeared, thus reducing the population of the Red race to near extinction.
Colonialism and Christianity combined to curb the genocide, and to some degree, native peoples of the North, Central and South were able to lick their wounds and begin the slow process of recuperation. With the growth of colonialism and ever increasing populations of European immigrants, dominant society slowly turned to capitalism spurring growth of high technologies. Huge deposits of mineral resources laying deep in native territory soil were claimed by brute force, bribery, and extortion. As result, indigenous lands were confiscated by whatever Europeans / Americans stepped foot on the shores of the so-called New World.

No offense intended for any individuals or tribes.
An Osage lady just bought a new car with her headright money. She sent her Choctaw boyfriend to the back of the car to check out her turn signals. "Are they working?" she asked.
The Choctaw guy responded "Yes... No... Yes...No...".
"With one mind we address our acknowledgement, respect, and gratefulness to the sacred Cycle of Life. We, as humans, must remember to be humble and acknowledge the gifts we use so freely in our daily lives." --Audrey Shenandoah, Onodaga
The sacred Cycle of life - the baby, the youth, the adult, the Elder. Let us respect all directions, the four directions of the Grandfathers; let us respect their power. Let us remember we belong to the earth, the earth does not belong to us. Help us to be respectful to all the gifts You have given us.
Oh Great Spirit, help me this day to be humble.
Let me not attack anything in deed or in my thoughts.
Let my thoughts focus on the beauty You have created in all things.
The
role of Ghighua, or Beloved Woman, among the Cherokee was an
influential one indeed. The most noted of the Cherokee Beloved
Women was Nancy Ward, or Nan'yehi. Closely related to such
leaders as Old Hop, the emperor of the Cherokee nation in the
1750s, Attakullakulla, the Wise Councillor of the Cherokee, and
Osconostato, the Great Warrior of the Cherokee nation, Ward won
the honored title of Ghighua and her own leadership position
after displaying great bravery in battle. But Ward was not
merely a warrior. She spoke on behalf of her people with U.S.
representatives and wisely counseled the tribe against land
cession. She did not live to see her warnings become reality as
the Cherokee were dispossessed of their eastern lands.
Born about 1738 at Chota, a "Peace Town" or "Mother Town" in the Overhill region of the Cherokee Nation, Ward came into the world at the beginning of a crucial era in Cherokee history. Raised by her mother, Tame Deer, and her father, Fivekiller (who was also part Delaware or Lenni Lenap‚), Nan'yehi realized at a young age that her people were in turmoil. Missionaries, Moravians (Christians who seek to persuade others to accept their religion and follow the Bible as their rule of faith and morals) in particular, were trying to gain access to the Cherokee people in order to convert them. Still very conservative (resistant to change), preserving their traditional customs and religion, the Cherokees had a mixed reaction to the missionaries. Many regarded them as a threat, others saw them as a blessing.
One of those who straddled this fence was Nan'yehi's very influential maternal uncle, Attakullakulla ("Little Carpenter"). He eventually struck a deal allowing Moravians into Cherokee territory, but only if they would build schools to instruct Cherokee youth in English and the ways of the white man. Later critics would see this as evidence of Attakullakulla's desire for the Cherokee to accept European ways; others saw this as a tactic to teach the tribe more about their enemy. Like her uncle, Nan'yehi too would try to find the middle ground between tradition and innovation.

Adam (Queensland,
Australia) Adam is
Chippewa, adopted and brought to
Australia as a young boy with
his twin sister [now deceased].
He is feeling lost and alone
without his tribe around him,
nor his sister whom he loved
dearly. Adam is a wonderful
young man who's caught up in the
cycle of drinking and living on
the streets. He is not a bad
person, he is in great need of
much love, support, strength and
compassion. He asks for healing
and help that he may find the
inner and outer strength and
love to overcome his drinking so
that he can get himself together
so he can go home to Turtle
Island to reunite with his
people and his traditions, so he
can show his children the beauty
of the Chippewa. Lynn Guy

Evan, an Abused Child I
have been talking to another abused child at a
home of people I know who are the foster
parents. Two weeks ago he told me he had a
brother and sister he had not seen in a while as
his Dad had throwed the boy out. Another
brother, Jake that was older he saw asleep but
couldn't wake him. Last night I found out the
police found a grave in a backyard where Jake
(the sleeping boy) was in and the little
girl. Said to say just their bones left.
The other boy Dustin is still missing. The
boy in the foster home knows that the
missing kids were reported to the police and
every day he said no word yet.. The foster
parents don't know how to tell him the truth and
asked my advice. I am willing to tell him since
he told me first But I want the foster parents
there when i do This boy needs all the prayers
we can pray for him
UPDATE:
Evan found his brother and both were adopted by
a couple in PA. They are doing fine there.
Authorities are looking for the mother. Pray
they will find her soon and she will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Helen Redwing Vinson 06-02-09
Did you submit a prayer request above? If so, please

We are reluctant to remove anyone without knowing if more

August 1 at Van Community Center. Leo was born August 1, 1934 in

wife, Flora, eleven children, Pam Walker, Michael Causey, Linda Wilkes,
Darla Daniel, Karen Long, Cathey Causey, Teena Witt, Linda Harden,

Connie Mike Sample (Laughing Bear),
(Russellville, AR)
Crossed over June 6, 2009 at home with his sister, Barbara.
Connie was born on September 29, 1958 in
Dallas, Texas. Connie was loved by everyone who knew him. Connie was
a blessing to Barbara Ann Sample and the folks who attend purification lodge
ceremonies and dances in Russellville. Laughing
Bear was loved by all and he loved everyone as well. there was not a stranger to
be seen in his eyes and he loved to give bear sized hugs as well. Music
was in his heart and he loved to dance . and if there was a gathering dance
Brother Laughing Bear was the first to get in line. Laughing Bear worked at
Marva's Workshop in Russellville For 8 years and was a lifetime participant in
the Special Olympics. There was a Cross over Sweat in his honor June 10th.
During the third round the wind blew hard, the rain came down, the door keepers
were covered with pine needles. I believe it was Laughing Bear's spirit saying
he loved every one and the wind was one last hug, the rain, tears of the
elders not in sadness but in joy that such a special soul, was joining them.
A memorial service will be at the Journey Church, 3001 East H Street,
Russellville, Arkansas. at 5:30 p.m. June 22 ,2009 (located behind Lowes)
Please Keep His sister Barbra And family in your prayers as the go through the
transition of loss.
