We can only hope this information can be of help in understanding the many different First Nations and Tribes better and remember who they are and were. Some descendants still live in this modern-day world, and very sadly some complete communities and villages have since passed into time and history. But as we hope and pray never forgotten by mankind itself, as we here are trying to keep as much as possible preserved and written down. Just verbal passing of knowledge has also passed away, as people will read the talking leaves and believe more, than what is being said directly to them.
Although the first peoples of the woodlands and the plains from ocean to ocean, are being wrote out of the history books of our children's present day and taught there are no Indians truly left, we do still exist!
Very much alive and well, blended into modern day societies and urban communities not our own.
As we do work elbow to elbow with co-workers of today, who never give a thought of thinking of or looking at us like any of our ancestors who walked before us on this earth. Hunting and fishing and gathering food, making our clothes from what we could. Living in complete harmony and balance with nature and the world itself as was intended by the Great Spirit/Creator of the Universe.
Even when we do put on native heritage clothing and come together in the functions called pow-wows, we are looked at as just performers, actors and not real and still living. And what we do try to share for others to learn of us, is in their books and languages called a "Horse and Pony Show" because we are not the Indians that are remembered on the old westerns of television "they grew up with"..
If all races learned more about one another before hand then and now, they might just find that there is a richness far more valuable than any piece of land or trinket that they could and can possess.
It is the value of another human being and their life and history/cultures and their individual spirits and knowledge to share.
Enjoy this research and please pass on any and all information, so all is kept and not lost.
The Files will be loaded in PDF format and are free to be used for research and study. The Ownership of this information resides to the Elders of all the Peoples and any individual claiming such is misrepresenting the Heart of the People.
There will be more and more added along the way in time as the research will be continuous and will later be including other parts of the world of Indigenous First peoples all over the world. If anyone wishes to include and contribute a tribe or nation history to this ever growing list please email us with this information.
Please make sure folks, to scroll down completely to the bottom of each one, as there are on most very unique and most beautiful artworks that are included in the history of each.
