| MAKAH |
The
Makah Nation -- On the Olympic Peninsula
We call ourselves "Kwih-dich-chuh-ahtx"
or "people who live by the rocks and seagulls". The name "Makah",
which was given to us by our neighboring tribes, means "Generous
with food". We have lived at the most northwestern point in what
is now the contiguous United States since the beginning of time. For
thousands of years we have hunted whales and seals, and fished in the
great waters which cradle our home.

Arikara
(Sáhniš) Language Program
Language Learning with Technology
A cooperative project between White Shield School District and Indiana
University
The number of elders who still speak Sáhniš,
our Arikara language, has reached a critical stage. Soon, there will
be none who can come into the classroom to teach. The problem for the
Arikara community, as it is for most Native American communities that
are losing their languages, is this: how can we preserve the voices
of our elders and perpetuate our language?

On the southern border of Mexico is the country
of Guatemala.
Guatemala has a very diverse landscape. The southern section of the
country is highly volcanic, with many dormant and active volcanoes.
The northern section is called the Peten. The Peten contains forests
and Mayan ruins. Most Guatemalans live in the southern sections of the
country, where the soil is more fertile than in the Peten.

Miami
Nation
This
page was created as a joint effort between the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma
and the Miami Nation of Indiana. Before 1846, the Miami People were
one people and therefore shared the same history, language, and culture.
After the 1846 removal the Miami became split into two distinct tribes.
Today the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma maintains offices in Ottawa County,
Oklahoma and the Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana maintains
offices in Peru, Indiana.
