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.
