A Native American joke...

remembering the first classes..........

Kamehameha was born in 1758, the year Halley’s Comet made an appearance over Hawaiian skies. Kamehameha was born in Paiea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kamehameha means “the lonely one.”  Hawaiian legends claimed that a great king would one day unite the islands, and that the sign of his birth would be a the comet. this one was visible from Hawaiʻi in 1758 and it is likely Kamehameha was born shortly after its appearance.
Kamehameha grew up in the court of his uncle, Kalaniopuu. When Kalaniopuu died in 1782, his power was divided between Kamehameha and Kalaniopuu’s natural son, Kiwalao, who inherited his father’s throne. Civil war broke out, however, and Kamehameha emerged as the Big Island’s ruler.
Many more battles ensued. During one raid in Puna, Kamehameha slipped and caught his foot in a crevice of lava. Seeing this, one of his fleeing opponents returned and beat him on the head with a canoe paddle until it broke. As a result, Kamehameha proclaimed Mamalahoe Kanawai, or “Law of the Splintered Paddle,” providing protection to unarmed noncombatants in war. “Let the aged, men and women, and little children, lie down safely in the road,” his law decreed.

The Hawaiian kingdom enjoyed a period of peace during Kamehameha’s reign. The king unified the legal system and used taxes to promote trade with the Americans and Europeans.

Kamehameha died in 1819, and his son, Liholiho, took the throne. Kamehameha’s bones were hidden by his kahuna. Today, his final resting place remains a mystery.

Oneness: A little preview...

Hey, Glassiators (?). Coni, Abigail, Joselyn and me will talk about Oneness in our presentation this monday. Maybe you ask: "What the *@#~ is Oneness". Well, it's a complex concept, but related with the feeling of beloging on the earth.


There is a poem which could helps us to understand the Oneness vision in the Native American context. It's called The Delight Song of Tsoai-talee. Let's see it!

I am a feather on the bright sky

I am the blue horse that runs on the plain

I am the fish that rolls, shining, in the water

I am the shadow that follows a child

I am the evening light, the lustre of meadows

I am an eagle playing with the wind

I am a cluster of bright beads

I am the farthest star

I am the cold of dawn

I am the roaring of the rain

I am the glitter of the crust of the snow

I am the long track of the moon in a lake

I am a flame of four colors

I am a deer standing away in the dusk

I am a field of sumac and the pomme blanche

I am an angle of geese in the winter sky

I am the hunger of a young wolf

I am the whole dream of these things

You see, I am alive, I am alive

I stand in good relation to the earth

I stand in good relation to the gods

I stand in good relation to all that is beautiful

I stand in good relation to the daughter of Tsen-tainte

You see, I am alive, I am alive.

If you wanna learn more about this beautiful concept, don't miss our presentation on Monday!


Greetings! Manrox.

I want to share with you this interview and give you some information about Sherman alexie.
His writings are meat to evoque sadness, ut at the same time he uses humor and pop culture . His influences for his literary works don’t trust only on traditional Indian forms but instead he blends elements of popular clture, Indian spirituality and the drudgery of poverty ridden reservation life to create his characters and the world they inhabit

Alaska Natives and Chileans : Something in common.

Well, I like to make a comparison between the Chilean and Alaska Natives. As you can see in our presentation, I said that the Alaska Natives passed down their stories from generation to generation. Well, this also happens in our country, especially in southern Chile, where this tradition is still preserved.




















I wanted to gather these two cultures because, despite being far away places, have a tradition in common, what makes one form or another, all have a cultural connection.

"SUNDAY BlOODY SUNDAY"

I´ve choose this song because is an important memory. The conflict between England and Ireland represents an ugly and a recent remembrance. The band "U2" wanted to make the people identify with the theme.  When the terrorist group IRA used to caused the panic between both nations.
I think the lyrics of this song reflect the feeling of Irish.
This conflicto knowing like "The Troubles"caused great loss of life during the second half of the twentieth century.
                                            Sunday Bloody Sunday
                                                
 Yes...

I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes 
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters 
Torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight... 
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday...

I want to show you this film for to do a reflexion about the convivence between the natives and the settlers. where both shared their indifference to the conflict that was happening in that time. England and France were disputing the Canadian territory. The focus of this history is "the last survivors of the Mohawk tribe". This film is based on the novel by James Fenimor Cooper, "The last of Mohawk". 

This is a good legend  of the Alaska Natives. You can see the relation between this story and a recent film " The Princes and the Frog". 
<sup>"Alaskan and Pacific Northwest Legends"

"Tlingit Frog Story"........ a story from the Cape Fox & Tongass Tlingit people ........
The Tlingit have a high regard for frogs believing that they bring good luck and fortune. One day a young woman saw a frog in her path and made a slighting remark about frogs. This was a serious offense which the Tlingit believed would be firmly punished. Soon afterward she met a handsome young man who asked her to marry him. (He was actually a frog but appeared to her in human form.) She agreed to meet him later at a certain lake in the woods. He told her he would take her to his home where his father was a chief. At the edge of the lake he instructed her to step on a patch of water lilies but she was afraid until he stepped on them. They followed a path and were soon in a large village. He took her to his father's house, though she did not know it was the frog's home beneath the lake.
Knowing that the young woman had offended the frogs, her relatives decided to give a feast to them in the hope that they would return her. An invitation was delivered to the lake and the feast prepared. Toward evening they saw the young woman with two frogs, a large male and a small one - her husband and child. They were sitting on a marshy spot in the middle of the lake but soon disappeared. Then her relatives drained the lake and recovered the young woman. She related her experiences but did not live long afterward.
It is said that those who live extremely pure lives may sometimes see her rise from the center of the lake. One must fast many days and follow strict taboos in order to see her, but great luck and riches will come to anyone who succeeds. She is most apt to be seen when the sun is shining on the water. Then her hair gleams with a bright luster.</sup>

Elizabeth, The golden age (By Romina Herrera)

The movie is full of powerfull dialogues, majestic outfits, character's building, music and a script made of romance, intrigue affairs, and treason.
This movie can be seen as a contribution to England's power because its facts are true and cure approved only the English Academy of History.
Shekhar Kapur made ​​a very subjective film that seeks to enlarge the image of England also only shows an image of Queen Elizabeth's maiden.

Education is the key against discrimination

“Education is the key against discrimination” by Diego Escobar C

Since I read the topic of the slavery in the south of the U.S.A, I started thinking about all the events based on racist ideas. These events have brought discrimination and segregation to many different societies and in most of the cases they have ended with many deaths as a result.

In the sixteenth century, in the U.S.A. black people were farmers’ slaves and even after the war in 1865, black people and white people did not share the same rights. Joseph Stalin was responsible for killing more than 40 million of Russians, Ukrainians and Czech people during the Soviet Union in Russia (www.historyplace.com). Something similar happened during the Second World War, when millions of Jew people were persecuted and exterminated during the Nazi Regime. Finally, Two months ago, one Chilean guy was murdered because of being homosexual. It seems that all along the history of  civilization in the world the fact of being different has brought pain to us, in spite of all the human, scientific and social advances it feels as it had never been solved.

Many countries and different kinds of associations have tried to end the problem of the segregation, discrimination and racism by creating new laws. On August 26, 1920, the 19^th Amendment to the constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. (www.history.com)

The RDA (The Racial Discrimination Act) has specific prohibitions which are Australia’s obligations. It is unlawful to discriminate in areas such as employment; land; housing and accommodation; provisions of food and services; access to places ; facilities for use by the public and also enhance the access of minority groups to justice, cultural expressions and other rights and freedoms. (Racial Discrimination Act, 1975)

In our country the famous law against discrimination or “Zamudio Law” has been approved by the parliament in order to end with the discrimination to the people of different sex. (www.bcn.cl)

Even though these advances have meant a big step in terms of giving end to discrimination to the minorities, I don’t think that by creating new laws we are going to end with segregation and discrimination. I believe they are helpful but they do not reach the core of the problem. According to Thoreau: “Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice” (Thoreau, 1848)

A study, carried out in Turkey, shows that Turks are prejudiced against the members of the minority communities but that prejudice is based on complete lack of knowledge. A total of 1,108 people around the country were questioned.

When asked who they would not like as a neighbor, 57% said an atheist family, 42% did not want Jews in the neighborhood and Christians followed at 35%. An interesting figure is that 76% admitted having no knowledge of Jews but they didn’t want them as neighbors. (http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com)

It has made me think a lot and I believe that many of the minorities which have been discriminated  against nowadays such as the Mapuches in our country or even the Chilean’s discrimination against the Peruvians or Bolivians are results of the lack of knowledge and the lack of education that affects our world.

We don’t need a new law that dictates: “Mapuches cannot be discriminated against  anymore”. As a society and as future educators, we have to educate people and make them aware of who their neighbors are, what religion or sex they have and why we have to respect them and also to respect them as autonomous minorities that share the same rights as we do.

I leave this trailer for a movie that I love and that is my favorite film director Tim Burton.
It is based on the novel Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions by Daniel Wallace.
The main element of Big Fish is the idea of reconciliation between a father and son.

It's a beautiful movie. See it only!

The Rabbit-Proof Fence's forced removal scene

by Constanza Catrilef

While I was watching the "Rabbit-Proof Fence" movie, there were many scenes that were extremely shocking and took my breath away (almost made me cry actually). Among them I can recall the escape scene, when the girls left Moore River after being there for just 2 nights. I can also remember when Gracie was waiting for the train at the station so she can go to Wiluna to see her mother, but Constable Riggs took her away once again.

In this written reflection I could have mentioned the many sad and breathtaking moments, but something else caught my eye, so instead I decided to focus on one particular part of the film, the instant when the three defenseless girls, Molly, Gracie and Daisy were abducted, forcibly removed from their mothers, and the actors and filming crew´s emotional reaction to that moment of the shooting.

Once I decided to start my reflection, I looked for information about this moment on the internet for a long time, but I could only find a YouTube video, part of a documentary about the movie and an interview. At first I thought of changing the subject, but later, when I watched the video, I decided to continue writing about this, because I realized that the crew reaction to the filming process was so strong that writing about it was worth it.

Before they started to shoot this scene, the director, Phillip Noyce, explained to the actors the context of the event, the part when Constable Riggs arrives to the village and said to Maude that the girls’ legal guardian was Mr. Neville, so he was going to take the children away. 

They started shooting the first half of the scene, from where the girls and their mothers see Riggs' car and starts running until Riggs gets out of the car.  Following this, there is a girl named Rachel, who is part of the filming crew, that prepares the little girls emotionally for the next frame, when Riggs takes the girls, put them in his car and starts driving away.

Noyce shouts action for the second part of this scene, they start shooting, it’s awfully quiet, except for the actresses who are screaming and crying on the scene. I could see in the YouTube video, as a result of this, how the whole crew was feeling the same heartache that the real Maude probably felt about eighty-two years ago, they were all crying inconsolably. It’s very intense and heartbreaking.

         We can see on the clip how the actresses are very affected by what they just filmed, the girls are crying and Ningali Lawford (Maude) says “These are girls that, you know, just started learning about the Stolen Generation now, you know, and here they are, actually reenacting that whole thing(…)and it’s great because they come in with this innocence and at the end of the film this innocence is gone”.

           On 2002 Phillip Noyce was interviewed by Wilson Morales from Blackfilm.com. The Cornell University graduate’s first question to Noyce was “What drew you to make this film?” and he answered “I had read many scripts in my long career as a filmmaker but I don’t think I had read one that was so emotionally compelling as this(…)It has three heroines who you immediately sympathize and empathize with.”         

If you just take the time to watch this beautiful movie, and the YoutTube video after that, you can see for yourself how emotional this movie is, and how hard it was to the whole filming crew to revive such sad and unfair period of time this people lived.

It’s impossible not to feel the pain and desperation Australian aborigines, especially the one that Maude as a mother felt, decades ago.

the indigenous people

the movie "Rabbit-proof fence "shows us what life was like for the indigenous people of Australia. They were separated from their children.

The most indigenous peoples have suffered oppression, violations of basic rights, why  happen this?

When I saw the movie, I thought of what happened in Chile with the Mapuche people,

all the injustices that continue to suffer. When will stop the violations of their rights?

Its interesting the way that native people were related. In most of cases, the domination of white man is almost a fact and they tried to make its own rules avoiding native culture and trends. The same way as Chilean native people: Spaniards came out and now, in 2012, many of its traditions are lost and few people can speak mapudungun, the languaje of the Mapuches.

Australia

I want to know if  you know : WHAT WERE THEY DOING  WITH THE CHILD AFTER TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS? I'm really curious about that ...

A classic Movie: Dances with wolves.

Well , I did like to see this movie with my classmates because I think that is really important to know about the American Indians, well we saw the Thunderheart is a good movie but my favorite is dances with wolves.

Dances with wolves is a 1990 epic western movie film directed, produced by, and starring Kevin Costner. It is a film adaptation of the 1988 book of the same name by Michael Blake and tells the story of the Union Army Lieutenant who travels to the American Frontier to find a military post, and his dealings with a group of Lakota Indians. It is credit as a leading influence for the revitalization of the Western genre of the filmmaking in Hollywood. In 2007, this movie was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Libarry of Congress as being " culturally, historically and aesthetically significant.

Its a very good movie , if you dont have the oportunity to see the movie , when you have time, you have to consider watch  one of the best movie in the United States that show us history, Indians people and learn about ours mistakes.

Its my favorite movie!

N.R.C  programs ( National Relief Charities) for natives americans

NCR  programs is an NGO dedicated to value, support and help the Native Americans and their communities throughout the United States, its mission is: "To help Native American people improve the quality of their lives by providing opportunities for them to bring about positive changes in their communities."
NRC has been serving Native Americans for 20 years. We are the only charity to work on over 75 reservations year-round. We have a network of nearly 900 partnerships with reservation programs. These are our Program Partners. NRC works through the Partners to bring much-needed relief to over 300,000 Native Americans who live in their reservation communities. The most important thing NRC brings to these communities is hope.

What they really do?
All of NRC's work centers around bringing material aid, educational support, and onsite services that afford immediate relief to economically-depressed reservations. Our service area is concentrated in nine priority states, which encompass Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Navajo, and over 75 reservations with a high need for basic necessities. To make a difference in such a wide service area, NRC relies on the generosity of concerned Americans, and also on businesses that are able to donate goods in bulk

In my opinion this is an excellent initiative, but I think that in Chile there is any of this program for help to mapuches or any ethnic groups, I would like to have programs like this in my country, for our ethnic groups obtain help and valorization

here I leave the website of this ONG, for you can see more examples that  the support for Indian communities, and some experiences of this people.

Education and Indian Boarding School.

After the Indian wars in the late 19th century, the United States established Native American boarding schools, initially run primarily by or affiliated with Christian missionaries. At this time American society thought that Native American children needed to be acculturated to the general society. The boarding school experience often proved traumatic to Native American children, who were forbidden to speak theirnative languages, taught Christianity and denied the right to practice their native religions, and in numerous other ways forced to abandon their Native American identities and adopt European-American culture. Since the twentieth century, investigations documented cases of sexual, physical and mental abuse occurring at such schools.While problems were documented as early as the 1920s, some of the schools continued into the 1960s. Since the rise of self-determination for Native Americans, they have generally emphasized education of their children at schools near where they live. In addition, many federally recognized tribes have taken over operations of such schools and added programs of language retention and revival to strengthen their cultures. Beginning in the 1970s, tribes have also foundedcolleges at their reservations, controlled and operated by Native Americans, to educate their young for jobs as well as to pass on their cultures.

Today, there are some programs for the Native Americans , one of them is National Reliefs Charities 

Is a nonprofit dedicated to quality of life for Native Americans living on remote and poverty-stricken reservations in the plains and southwest.

 There is so important to known about the history because American Indian People suffered a lot in those years. Every country must to respect the communities because they are part of our identity, history and life, we are all equal. We have to provide opportunities for them to bring about positive changes in their communities.

If you want to know more about National Reliefs Charities you visit http://www.nrcprograms.org

This video show us some opinions and experiences from Native American people. I hope you like it! :)

Native americans and their relationship with the U.S Government

with my co-worker we had to expose about the agreements and laws of the Native American and the U.S goverment, during the search for information on this subject I found a very good video of the Aljahzerah television network, and which in brief minutes explains and portrays the reality of the relationship of these tribes with the United States government, specifically with President Barack Obama.

As we can see this reality is very similar to our country, we could see that there are many similarities between Native Americans and our ethnic groups like the mapuches.

I think government action may have against its ethnic groups is essential, for the benefit of these people and also helps us to appreciate their traditions and legacies to future generations.

I hope the information will be helpful for you!

Here we can see the beauty of Hawaii, one of the most important tourist islands in the whole world. Every country has its own touristic places, but in this case, I recognize that Hawaii is incomparable.

I want to share with you a part of my written reflection

The Stolen Generation

Protection for Australians or "race problems"? 

The movie "Rabbit-Proof fence" shows us how was the time for aboriginal people of Australia, specially the mixed heritage kids, who where sons and doughters principally of aboriginal women with white men who worked in de rabbit.proof fence.

Aboriginal children were taken "legally" of the arms of their mothers 

Focusing on the movie, but in general, these kids were taken to "act as a white, to think as a white, to do everything as a white" but, with the pretext that they were going to have betters conditions and a better education. On the contrary in simple word they were taken to exterminate with the aboriginal blood, cause every mixed heritage child was sent to the Settlement River Moore, to prevent that the pure aboriginal race continued reproducing and reduce every time. They were trained to work as maids and farms laborers.

This "law" ran from 1910 to 1971. In 2008 Australia presented its apologies to the Stolen Generation, but that were "symbolic apologies" because Native People didn't received anything in compensation for sixty years of abuses and discrimination

The Chilean Mapuche-Proof Fence

The Chilean Mapuche-Proof Fence

The movie “Rabbit-Proof Fence” unveiled the injustices committed against aborigines in Australia by the white man, who until nowadays considers himself a superior human being. I found the scenes of the little girls trying to escape from a destiny of slavery very touching and made me think immediately of the following phrase: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948). It also reminded me of many similar examples through history and all around the world: The Spanish conquerors trying to turn aborigines to Catholicism, the Portuguese colonisation in Brazil, and the expansion of the British Empire to North America. All these events, including the one exposed in the movie, lead to an inevitable loss of identity. Chile is not the exception. We have continuously denied our roots because we feel ashamed of our ancestors who are still breathing the same air we breathe but they apparently don’t have the same rights a normal Chilean citizen has and suffer from discrimination by the society. Is it our fault to discriminate the Mapuche people or is it their fault because they are not synchronised with our “higher development level”?

            Now that most countries in the world are theoretically sovereign, we can compare the differences of aboriginal integration of countries of South America. For example, in Paraguay the “guaraní”, aboriginal language of their ancestors, is taught as a second language in schools, whereas in Chile the “mapudungún”, language of Mapuches has been nearly forgotten. If this people disappeared right now, this language would die with them since most Chileans are not really interested in learning it. But why is it so hard for the common Chilean citizen not to discriminate the Mapuches? According to Andrés Piqueras, “one of the processes of formation and transcendence of identity lies precisely in the fact that it is expressed as a contraposition of one another, establishing this way all the differences” (Piqueras, La identidad Valenciana. La difícil construcción de una identidad colectiva, 1996). Chile, as well as most countries in the world, has been living a globalisation process in which people tend to copy every foreign trend because they believe it is better than national trends. The advent of the technological era might have exacerbated this process. In this sense, the contrapositions to the foreign trends are the mapuches, who represent the ancestors of our country and the true Chilean tradition. They are seen as a burden, a group who does not contribute to the development, a counterproductive sector of the population, same as what happened to the aborigines in Australia. Michel Wieviorka even made a definition for this sector of the population; he named them the “primary identities”. The definition is the following: “The primary identities are, for example, the indigenous people in the three Americas, or the aborigines in Australia, peoples that already existed before the formation of nations and modern societies. At glance, these identities constitute what persists, what is fighting against modernity”. (Wieviorka, 2002).

            It is true that countries need to develop, but it is also true that a country without memory is a country without history, and we can’t just forget about our ancestors just because they don’t follow foreign trends. And it happens the other way round too. Mapuches don’t like Chileans. They are almost a different country within the Chilean territory. If someone had asked Caupolicán or Lautaro, two well-known mapuche “lonkos”, if they were Chileans, they would have probably answered with a “no”. The war they fought against the Spanish conquerors was called “Guerra de Arauco”. It lasted 347 years. (http://es.wikipedia.org). However, some representatives of the Mapuche nation say that this war is still being fought, and that the enemy now is the Chilean government. And they are probably right. It is not strange to see in the television how the police carry out raids in these communities and arrest them for no apparent reason. They also claim that their lands are being stolen. The construction of dams in their territory that supply with energy to multinational companies is also supported by the government. This is another reason for them to be mad at the authority, and so on.

            As a way of concluding this reflection and finding a proper answer for the questions presented at the beginning, we can say that the Mapuches and indigenous groups in general are not the ones to blame for the segregation process they lived or, in the Mapuche’s case, are still living. The white man is the one to blame since the indigenous represent the ancestors of the land and, therefore, they got here first. The least thing that the white man can do is treat them as equals and reinforce the integration policies for these sectors of the population. Although this tasks have been in the agenda of some of the last Chilean governments, they have not been carried out properly, hence the rejection of our ancestors to the government. Besides the government policies, which are very necessary, the change needs to be made by the Chilean citizen too. We need to start respecting our own people because that’s what they are, we come from them. A different and better country is possible and it’s up to us to decide whether we are willing to help constructing it or not.
