My Native
Wisdom -- Stereotype Images
"My people, Native American Indians, have among the non-Indian
American people, almost as many stereotypes as we have tribes: the
stoic, the drunk, the savage, the noble red man, the meek "squaw",
the proud princess, the pathetic Indian; all of these types drawn
against the image of a nickel Indian profile or dreamworld valiant
Pocahontas."

Newene
Sogobi Mava'a Mia 2002
(Walk On The Sacred Land)
We will be walking and running for the Western
Shoshone people – for our land rights – to take back Shoshone
land that our grandmothers and grandfathers once took care of with
their footsteps. Step by step they went from place to place to hunt
and gather where food was found and where doctoring took place. Most
of all, Shoshone people are buried here, and their spirits are with
us. When we pray and sing there will be happiness, joy and love in
our hearts as we stand strong for our ancestors.
