Native American History.. .

Love this change !

How I'm trying to pack my to-go plates this summer. 👌🏻

Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?
By the age of 10, most children in the United States have been taught all 50 states that make up the country. But centuries ago, the land that is now the United States was a very different place. Over 20 million Native Americans dispersed across over 1,000 distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups populated the territory.
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy.
❤️Thank you for taking some time to view my article!🔥

If the farmer doesn't work, we die of hunger, let's thank the farmers around the world.🙏❤️

"Vernon ""Silent Drum"" Lopez was a member of the Navajo Nation and a veteran of the Vietnam War. He was born on September 6, 1947, in a remote area of the Navajo reservation in New Mexico.
Lopez was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1968 and was trained as a helicopter mechanic. He was sent to Vietnam in 1969 and served as a crew chief on a UH-1 Huey helicopter. During his time in Vietnam, he flew over 300 combat missions, providing critical air support to ground troops.
Lopez was known for his bravery and his ability to remain calm under pressure. He earned the nickname ""Silent Drum"" because he was so quiet and focused during missions.
After returning from Vietnam, Lopez struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and turned to alcohol to cope with his trauma. However, he eventually sought treatment and became a counselor for other veterans suffering from PTSD.
Lopez was also an advocate for the Navajo language and culture. He worked to preserve the Navajo language and was a skilled traditional drummer. He passed away on July 30, 2015, at the age of 67, leaving behind a legacy of bravery, resilience, and cultural preservation."

Portrait of Iron White Man, a Sioux Native American, circa 1900.
In 1898 New York photographer Gertrude Käsebier (1852-1934) embarked on a deeply personal project, creating a set of prints that rank among the most compelling of her celebrated body of work. Käsebier was on the threshold of a career that would establish her as both the leading portraitist of her time and an extraordinary art photographer. Her new undertaking was inspired by viewing the grand parade of Buffalo Bill's Wild West troupe en route to Madison Square Garden for several weeks of performances.
Käsebier had spent her childhood on the Great Plains, and retained many vivid, happy memories of playing with nearby Native American children. She quickly sent a letter to William "Buffalo Bill" Cody (1846-1917), requesting permission to photograph in her studio the Sioux Indians traveling with the show. Within weeks, Käsebier began her unique and special project photographing the Indian men, women, and children, formally and informally. Friendships developed, and her photography of these Native Americans continued for more than a decade.Profile portrait of Iron White Man, who wears two strings of beads, a circular ring on his head, a tailored shirt, and a vest

How did the know American look like a turtle?

"I am an old woman now. The buffaloes and black-tail deer are gone, and our Indian ways are almost gone. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I ever lived them.
My little son grew up in the white man's school. He can read books, and he owns cattle and has a farm. He is a leader among our Hidatsa people, helping teach them to follow the white man's road.
He is kind to me. We no longer live in an earth lodge, but in a house with chimneys, and my son's wife cooks by a stove.
But for me, I cannot forget our old ways.
Often in summer I rise at daybreak and steal out to the corn fields, and as I hoe the corn I sing to it, as we did when I was young. No one cares for our corn songs now.
Sometimes in the evening I sit, looking out on the big Missouri. The sun sets, and dusk steals over the water. In the shadows I see again to see our Indian village, with smoke curling upward from the earth lodges, and in the river's roar I hear the yells of the warriors, and the laughter of little children of old.
It is but an old woman's dream. Then I see but shadows and hear only the roar of the river, and tears come into my eyes. Our Indian life, I know, is gone forever."
