MARDI GRAS INDIANS

"If I had a heart attack at 92, I'd still mask. In New Orleans, you don't need a reason to do what you do, you do it because that's the way it is!" - Larry Bannock, President, New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian Council

The History of Mardi Gras

Just the name Mardi Gras conjures up images of drunken, bead-wearing revelers dancing through the streets of New Orleans. But how, and when, did this huge mid-winter party get started? Here's a look at the history of Mardi Gras throughout the ages and across the nations.

Historians tell us that the ancient Romans probably kicked off the Mardi Gras celebrations. Their mid-February festival known as Lupercalia honored the god Lupercus, alternately known as the god of fertility and the god of… Continue

COYOTE DANCES WITH THE STARS







Because the Great Mystery Power had given Coyote much of his medicine,

Coyote himself grew very powerful and conceited.

There was nothing, he believed, that he couldn't do.

He even thought he was more powerful than the Great Mystery,

for Coyote was sometimes wise but also a fool.

One day long ago, it came into his mind to dance with a… Continue

Black bird, red wing

Black bird, red wing

by Nickole Brown



So this is where the last year

of the Mayan calendar begins—

5,000 birds falling on Beebe,

Arkansas, a state that could smooth

out with the sway of the plains

but instead sputters the silence

of the first syllable like a pothole

that hits before you're off the

on ramp—say it—

ar-

-can-saw—

ending with that blade

of rusted teeth to chew

through the last of what's left

Moving History: The Evolution of the Powwow

Moving History: The Evolution of the Powwow

“Powwows are a celebration of being Indian!”

By Dennis W. Zotigh

Powwows celebrate being Indian. These events inspire cultural and personal pride in

American Indians. They allow Indian tribes, families, and individuals to come together

for the purpose of feasting, hearing their languages spoken, exchanging arts and crafts,

Tribes Work with Feds on Eagle Feather Ceremonial Use

By Carol Berry January 31, 2011

DENVER—The eagle, cultural icon to Native Americans and the U.S. alike, is becoming emblematic of something else too: the effort to balance the ceremonial use of threatened animals with federal law.



Tribal representatives are gearing up for a second round of meetings with officials from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to discuss the issues surrounding the ceremonial use of eagles in Indian country. Although the bird was removed from the… Continue

Scientists Suggest a Native Woman Travelled to Europe a Thousand Years Ago

By ICTMN Staff February 1, 2011

This bold theory is based on the genetic research by Agnar Helgason, a scholar at Iceland’s deCODE Genetics and an associate research professor at the University of Iceland. According to an article published on the Time Magazine website, Helgason was researching the origin of the Icelandic population when he discovered that a small group of Icelanders —… Continue

Bill Miller’s List of 10 Essential Songs for Native Musicians (THIS LIST SURPRISED ME!)

Bill Miller is driving across Iowa, talking on his cell phone about the songs he loves, many of which he first heard on his car radio in the 1970s.



Miller, who is Mohican from the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin, is a three-time Grammy winner and his work spans symphonies, traditional and popular music in a Native key. He has made his home in Nashville; a city that he notes is on the route of the Trail of Tears and was a hub in the civil-rights movement. To Miller it was a… Continue

Snowed In: Preparing Food for Winter Hardship

By Dale Carson January 28, 2011



As ‘the white stuff’ piles a foot deep or more in New England, I begin to wonder how our ancestors survived winters like this two to four hundred years ago.



One thing they did was “prepare”—a tradition I try to carry on. When tribes or bands traveled to the coastline in summer to enjoy clams, oysters, scallops, crabs, lobsters, herring, shad and more, they not only ate the species daily by the sea, but dried or smoked them to bring back to… Continue
