Maize's Native American Q&A thread
I'm taking a class this semester on the Native People of North America. I had my first class meeting last night and it looks like it's going to be a great class, but lots of work outside class. So I thought I'd start a thread just for me to ask specific questions that may (probably) will come up throughout the semester, just so I can keep them all in one place.
Let me start off my telling you what I'll be reading in this class: Intro to Native People of North America by Mark Sutton (textbook) Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown Lakota Woman by Mary Crow Dog (mom had this one, I don't have to buy it)  Anyone read any of these?

I've read Bury my Heart... -- Disturbing.
In the same vein, I'd recommend the classic Black Elk Speaks, By John G. Neihardt.

here is a book you might find interesting...
"American Indian Contributions to the World" it is filled with wonderful information on the things that we take for granted that came from or were indipendantly developed as well by the First nations. http://www.kporterfield.com/aicttw/ such things as chewing gum, parkas, modern contraceptives and the constitution of the USA. wa:do

I have to do an Annotated Bibliography for this class, based on one of the topics, events, or people in Dee Brown's, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. I have chosen to do the Ghost Dance and need peer-reviewed journal articles for this. I am planning on visiting the library for an afternoon someday soon, but thought I'd ask you guys if you have any favorite or good articles on this subject. I can use books as well, but would prefer articles. Thanks.

Yes , those are his words .
Having had a Vision where he visited " the center of the Universe ", one of his last request was to visit the mountian in his Vision . Asking Neihardt to go with him , he added that anywhere is the center of the universe .... Take that as you will . A Vision is a very powerful and personal thing . Perhaps he felt that he was saying too much , or perhaps he honestly believed that ? I can't say .
