For example, if alphabet cards say, "A is for apple, B is for ball, .... I is for Indian," pick a different word so that Indian people are not presented as objects.

Extractions: Violence Against Native Women Rural women living on reservations face unique challenges when dealing with violence. Not only are there generally a limited number of police officers to respond to calls that cover vast distances, but on tribal lands there are often unresolved jurisdictional issues about who will respond to the calls. Many tribes do not have jails, so there is very little they can do to enforce laws. In addition to these complicated jurisdictional barriers, many Native women have limited access to telephones, transportation, emergency services, or accessible roads, especially in in climate weather.

Response On Native American Issues
MSU President Geoff Gamble's Response to native american issues June21, 2002 to The New York Times June 21, 2001. Mr. Howell
http://www.montana.edu/prescomm/na-response.html

Extractions: Dear Mr. Raines, I write because of comments made in a recent New York Times article, "Off-Field Hurdles Stymie Indian Athletes" (6/17/01) that included quotes from the men's basketball coach at Montana State University, where I serve as president. I would like to make it clear that the comments do not reflect the attitudes nor the perceptions of myself or the administration at Montana State University, nor does it mirror the experience of American Indian students on this campus. For several decades, Montana State University has worked diligently to provide a supportive environment for American Indian students. With about 60,000 American Indians living in Montana, or six percent of the state's population, it is the largest minority in both our institution and in our state. Part of our university's mission is to serve the American Indians of our state. Our successes are many. One of the most respected members of our faculty is a respected American Indian scholar and the endowed chair in our very healthy Native American Studies department. One of the most honored students in our recent graduating class was an American Indian woman who is on her way to medical school. American Indian athletes have been successful participants in our track, football, and basketball programs for many years. In fact, one of the most successful members of our current basketball team is American Indian.

Extractions: FORWARD This workshop/information is designed to assist well-meaning and committed instructors who teach Native American (NA) students and share our concern for their success. I have not worked long with traditional Native Americans (TNA). However, in the three short years I have lived in Cortez, Colorado, I have come to appreciate the culture shared by many different NA tribes and to recognize the crying need for educators to learn to teach concepts in a way that NA students can readily grasp them. I have also come to realize that many of the approaches that help NA students learn are the same that I have adopted for the last thirty years as an educator working with other minority-culture groups. OBJECTIVES By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to

Extractions: NATIVE AMERICAN ISSUES IN THE CHURCH As we approach the general conference for The United Methodist Church, the Native American International Caucus will be presenting various issues as they relate to our church. First and foremost for the caucus is the issue of "Chief Wahoo." "Chief Wahoo" The Cleveland Native American community has been fighting this issue for over three decades now. This issue became an official concern of The United Methodist Church when a resolution was passed at the 1996 General Conference, entitled "Concerning Demeaning Names to Native Americans." In 1998 the East Ohio Annual Conference tried to pass a resolution denouncing "Chief Wahoo," but was rebuffed by many "Chief Wahoo" fans, who were also United Methodist. In 1999 the annual conference met again at Lakeside, Ohio, and this time passed a resolution calling for. This is not an isolated issue. All across America, communities are re-examining their sports teams, both professional and scholastic. Names such as "Redskins" and "Squaws" have been removed. Read about the "Redskins" issue a Boston-area community has had regarding that racist name by linking below. Another link is available for you to read the Billings Gazette where the state passed House bill 412 renaming "Squaw Gulch" to "Wakina Sky Gulch." These are just two examples that are recent (this year of 2000). Boston Globe story: " Mascot debate divides school communities Billings Gazette story: " Committee recommends changing Squaw Gulch to Wakina Sky Gulch The Native American International Caucus has presented a resolution to the general conference asking that the church be pro-active in helping the Cleveland community as well as the ownership of the Cleveland Indians understand the harm that racial stereotypical mascots perpetuate. We ask for dialogue and education between all parties. This resolution will be presented during the first week of conference, May 2-8, 2000 at the Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
