The first volume appearing in 1907, ". . . the work was intended to show not only the inner life of the Church in organization, teaching, and practice, but also the manifold and far-reaching influence of Catholicism upon all that most deeply concerns mankind. Hence the introduction of many titles which are not specifically Catholic or even religious in the stricter sense, but under which some interest of the Church or some phase of its activity is recorded."

The message reverberating among the nation's 2.4 million Native Americans is that Senator John McCain is the candidate to bolster. PNS associate editor Koren L. Capozza writes on Native American affairs for New California Media's website www.NCMonline.com. T he word is spreading quickly through Indian country this is the year to come out for the primary vote. In Internet chat rooms, through e-mail mass mailings, and in informal conversations Native Americans are rallying their numbers for what is being hailed as a pivotal moment. And the message reverberating among the nation's 2.4 million Native Americans is that Senator John McCain is the candidate to bolster. "We are looking at an unprecedented turn-out from the native community for the primaries," says JoAnn Chase, executive director of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). Former Navajo President Peterson Zah drew national attention when he publicly switched from Democrat to Republican last August so that he could vote for McCain and against Gov. George W. Bush.

    http://www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/houses/hogan.html
    
    Extractions: Page buttons Blessingway Coyote got logs and instructions on how to build the hogan from the Beaver People. (Cottonwood trees were already found on this world when the people emerged from below.) The first hogan was the fork-stick hogan frame, a pyramid with 5 triangular faces. The first 2 logs are a fork-tipped log placed to the north and a straight male log to the south. The male log is joined into the female fork at the top, symbolizing a strong partnership between a man and a woman, husband and wife, in their future home. Another fork-tipped log is placed from the west (called "Sundown") Two logs are positioned for the open door frame in the east, two more logs placed over the door to frame the entrance, and a final log goes crosswise at the top of the chimney. This completes the original fork-stick hogan's framework, whose construction is described in the Blessingway sing. This is a male hogan. The Red Earth Indian Museum (Oklahoma) has a cutaway tabletop model of a fork-stick hogan. The straight male log (south) has its butt end to the front and the door (east) is on the left of the picture here. The straight log fits into the fork-tip of the female log, whose butt end is at the north (to the back of this model). The West (Sunset) log barely shows at the right edge of the cutaway. The doorframe and the two doorframe roof logs are at the left of the pictured model. Continuing the Blessingway first hogan instructions: Beaver told Coyote to sit on the ground facing east, holding his knees in both hands. This demonstrated to everyone that the fork-stick hogan was a model of a human being in this sitting position. The door curtain was made of dawn, so people may rise each morning and meet the dawn light. Precious turquoise, white shell beads, obsidian, jet, and abalone shell were placed on the frame with reed plants which had carried the people up to their emergence from the worlds below (some versions say the precious stones and shells were buried under the log framework). Songs were sung as it was built, to make it a very holy place.

    Extractions: The Future for Native Americans? Although Native Americans eventually gained citizenship, they received federal support for two more decades. In the 1950s, however, the Bureau of Indian Affairs terminated federal services and placed the responsibility for Native Americans on state governments. Between 1952 and 1956, the bureau also sold 1.6 million acres of Native American land to developers. Political protests by organizations such as the American Indian Movement (AIM) call attention to the chronic unemployment and political disenfranchisement of Native Americans. For example, twenty-five Native Americans gathered in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day 1970. The protesters wore traditional funeral clothes and convened in front of a statue of Massassoit, the Wampanoag Chief who aided colonists in 1621, and then buried Plymouth Rock under mounds of sand.

    Extractions: Teaching Kids the Wonderful Diversity of American Indians The awareness teachers and parents need to teach Head Start children about American Indians accurately and respectfully. By Bernhard Michaelis, Founder, Native Child This article is reprinted from Children and Families, Vol.XVI No.4 , Fall 1997, the journal of the National Head Start Association. Children and Families is published quarterly for NHSA members. For information on joining NHSA, please call (703) 739-0875. "Don't yell like a bunch of wild Indians!" shouts a mother trying to quiet her children in a supermarket in Cortez, Colorado. A long- time American Indian Head Start teacher from the Navajo Reservation is standing close by, feeling hurt and insulted. "We would never say that to our Head Start kids," the teacher explains. "But I hear things like that all the time when I go shopping off the Reservation." The teacher's frustration is understandable. Throughout our lives, we have been bombarded by stereotypical portrayals of American Indians. Books, television programs, movies, and toys tend to depict Native Americans as oversimplified feather-wearing characters. Inaccurate and often offensive representations of American Indians are deeply rooted in the American consciousness. As a result, we have become desensitized to terminology and imagery that is offensive to American Indians. For example, we might not think it's odd to ask our kids to line up Indian file. And we might not see any reason our kids shouldn't dress up and play Indians.

    Extractions: Diabetes in American Indians and Alaska Natives A publication of the National Institutes of Health Diabetes mellitus is one of the most serious health challenges facing American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States today. The disease is very common in many tribes, and morbidity and mortality from diabetes can be severe. This population includes all people who derive their origins from any of the original peoples of North America and who continue to maintain cultural identification through tribal affiliations or community recognition. Great diversity in culture, language, location, lifestyles, and genetic heritage exists among American Indians and Alaska Natives. More than 500 Native American tribal organizations, with many differences in language and culture, exist in the United States.

    Extractions: The New Deal, in contrast, promised Native Americans dramatic improvements. From the 1880s until the early 1930s, federal policy had contributed to the elimination of Native Americans as a distinctive population. The Dawes Act of 1887 had called for tribal lands to be broken up and allotted to individual owners in the hope that Indians would adopt the work habits of white farmers. But Native Americans had proved stubbornly loyal to their languages, religions, and other cultures. Few of them succeeded as farmers, and many of them lost land to white speculators. By 1933, nearly half of the Indians living on reservations whose land had been allotted were landless while many who retained allotments held land that was largely desert or semidesert. The shrinking land base in combination with a growing population deepened Native American poverty. The assimilationist pressures on Native Americans, meanwhile, reached a climax in the intolerant 1920s when the Bureau of Indian Affairs , prodded by Protestant missionaries, outlawed Indian religious ceremonies, forced children from tribal communities into federal boarding schools, banned polygamy, and imposed limits on the length of men’s hair. Government officials working in the Hoover administration began to question this draconian assimilationist policy, but its reversal had to await the New Deal and
