NATIVE AMERICA "My friend, I am going to tell you the story of my life, as you wish; and if it were only the story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow? So many other men have lived and shall live that story, to be grass upon the hills. It is the story of all life that is holy and is good to tell, and of us two-leggeds sharing in it with the four-leggeds and the wings of the air and all green things; for these are the children of one mother and their father is one Spirit. Black Elk, Holy Man of the Ogalala Sioux
The Native Americans
Note: It is my hope to bring, to you the reader, a better understanding of the Native Americans of the United States, through their culture, religion, schools, and art. If you have a particular tribe that you would like to see featured, please drop me an e-mail.
