#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

[harvardfineartslib]

November is Native American Heritage Month.  We recognize and honor indigenous cultures and worldviews that focus on living in harmony with nature as a part of a shared ecosystem. In this post, we bring you a watercolor painting entitled "Butterfly Dance" by Fred Kabotie (c. 1900–1986) who was a celebrated Hopi painter, silversmith, illustrator, potter, author, curator and educator.

The Hopi Butterfly Dance takes place in late summer to early fall in northern Arizona’s Hopi villages. It is a two-day ceremony for the harvest, calling for rain, good health, and long life for all living things. The dance is performed by young and unmarried girls, a ritual to learn what it means to be a young Hopi woman and her purpose within Hopi culture. On the day of the ceremony, the dancer wears a kopatsoki (headdress) and ceremonial clothing with her feet painted yellow, symbolizing the eagle’s yellow feet, so that she can dance lightly throughout the day. (You can learn more about Butterfly Dance in the essay written by Gloria Lomahaftewa on the National Museum of the American Indian’s website.)

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, here is DeGrazia’s "Waiting for the Pow Wow” from his Navajo Collection painted in 1962. DeGrazia's early childhood experiences in Morenci, an ethnically diverse community, evolved into a lifelong appreciation of native cultures in the Sonoran Desert and a passion to create art depicting their lives and lore.

Something very few people know; Throughout World War I and World War II many Native Americans served as code talkers for the United States Army. These code talkers were from at least fourteen Native Nations including but not limited to the Comanche, Cherokee, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Chippewa, Choctaw, Cree, Crow, Sioux and more. These Soldiers went through basic combat training then developed and memorized a special military code using their language. They created two codes over time; the first code had 26 Navajo terms for each English letter so that words could be spelled and the second code had 211 terms and was later expanded to 411 so that they could translate more words from English to Navajo. In addition, they made a dictionary for military words that did not exist in Navajo. In World War I, the 142d Infantry served in France and utilized a company of Native Americans who spoke 26 different languages and dialects. Of these 26 languages only about 4 could be written. Once WWII began, the Army searched for a new code due to fears that the one from WWI had been studied. The 4th Signal Company of the Army’s 4th Infantry division assigned 16 Comanches as code talkers to transmit and receive messages. Then at Utah Beach at D-Day in France, Iwo Jima was taken in large part due to the Navajo code talkers. In 2001, Congressional medals were awarded to Code Talkers. #armyhistory #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeamericansoldiers #dosomethingpositive for your #futureself #dosomethingworthwatching #contactmenow 615-429-0932 #usarmyreserve #yourarmyreservecareercounselor #parttimejob #fulltimebenefits #usarmyreserve #globallypositioned #globallyengaged #parttimeservicefulltimebenefits #parttimeservicefulltimepride #parttimeservicefulltimesuccess #armyhistory Request Information | goarmy.com (at Middle Tennessee Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CllZG87OPpy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🐓BOOK REVIEW : Together we drum, our hearts beat as one - Willie Poll - Chief Lady Bird (Arsenal Pulp Press)

A young and determined Anishnaabe girl in search of adventure goes on a transformative journey into a forest on her traditional territory. As she faces dangers and is challenged by a monster named Hate, she receives strength from the matriarchs and her ancestors. Together they beat their drums in song and support, driving out doubt and fear.

Chief Lady Bird’s illustrations are very colorful and beautiful . Each detail was delicately created, offering hundreds of things to discover. Willie Poll ‘s words are poetic and mesmerizing. It is a powerful book about Indigenous resistance and ancestral connection. Family and ancestors are at the heart of the young heroine’s quest, as they give her courage and confidence to continue on her chosen path.

I've been so excited for this book, and now it's here, just in time for Thanksgiving! At last, a story of Thanksgiving written by a member of the Wampanoag people, telling real history in a way that is accessible to little ones. This book tells the often-fictionalized tale from a Native perspective, creating the character of Weeâchumun (corn) to tell the story, along with Nokomis (grandmother), who unfolds the events to her grandchildren. It shows the generosity and caring of the Wampanoag people, and the mixed feelings of welcoming and wariness they felt for the people who needed help, but did not listen to the land. It tells the accurate account of the "first Thanksgiving," where settlers prepared a feast and fired muskets into the air, which alerted the Wampanoag (they didn't invite them to the feast). It notes how for settlers, the day is called Thanksgiving, but for many native people, it is a day of mourning. Yet this book is not somber, but thoughtful, a prelude to learning more (the back matter is particularly helpful). I strongly recommend this to all teachers, parents, and anyone wanting to show kids a "true" Thanksgiving story. #socialstudies #keepunumuk #thanksgiving #kindergarten #wampanoag #firstnationspeople #firstpeople #nativeamericans #americanindian #thanksgiving2022 #americanindianheritagemonth #nativeamerican #nativeamericanheritagemonth #teachinghardhistory #teacherlibrarian #teachthetruth #teachtruth #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #librariansfollowlibrarians #librariansofinstagram #schoollibrarian #librarian #historyforkids #history #childrensbooks #ownvoices https://www.instagram.com/p/CkrjQryMd-q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
