Field trip to the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge and Cathlapotle Plankhouse. We harvested nettle, had tea, went on a nature walk, saw a great blue heron, and learned about some of our ancestors. I looked up how to say thank you in Chinuk Wawa and taught the students. A chorus of kids saying "Masi!" to the folks showing us around was precious! #ndneducation #chinukwawa #grandronde #siletz

Full Show: American Indians Confront āSavage Anxietiesā
December 26, 2014
Earlier this month, as part of the $585 billion defense bill for 2015,Ā Congress passed a measure that would giveĀ lands sacred to American IndiansĀ in Arizona to a foreign company. The deal gives the Australian-English mining firm Rio Tinto 2,400 acres of the Tonto National Forest in exchange for several other parcels so it can mine a massive copper deposit.
This week, Bill speaks withĀ Robert A. Williams Jr., a professor specializing in American Indian law, about how deals such as the one with Rio Tinto are a part of American Indianās tragic history of dispossession. āVery much like African-Americans, the history of America is taking away resources, whether itās labor or whether itās land from one racial group to give them to the dominate racial group,ā Williams, who is of Lumbee Indian heritage, says.
He adds that the Arizona land set to become the ālargest copper mine in the worldā is one of the most sacred places of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. āThese are folks that have been fighting the federal government over their land rights and cultural rights for a long time,ā adding, āand here you have this little, small tribe of Apaches, one of the poorest tribesā¦ trying to stop this.ā
Perspectives on Tribal TANF (click link to access document)Ā
Federally recognized Indian tribes can apply for funding to administer and operate their own TANF programs. This option is described under section 412 of the Social Security Act, as amended by Pub.L.104-193. As of October 1, 2012, there are 68 approved Tribal TANF programs. These programs serve 299 federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native Villages.Ā
TANF gives federally recognized Indian tribes flexibility in the design of welfare programs that promote work and responsibility and strengthen families. Similar to states, they receive block grants to design and operate programs that accomplish one of the four purposes of the TANF program.
The four purposes of the TANF program are:
Provide assistance to needy families so that children can be cared for in their own homes
Reduce the dependency of needy parents by promoting job preparation, work and marriage
Prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies
Encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families
Indian tribes are required to submit a three-year Tribal TANF plan to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) for review and approval. The approved Tribal TANF programs then receive a portion of the state TANF block grant from the state where the tribe is located.

A 25 Year Retrospective of the Native American Response to AIDS through Poster Art
First-Annual National Native (American Indian, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian) HIV/AIDS Awareness Day - MARCH 21, 2007 The NorthEast Two- Spirit Society is brought it to New York on the first-ever National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day to highlight the historical and evolving Native response to HIV/AIDS through the art created by Native activists, care providers and people living with AIDS throughout this health crisis. The evening was a one of a kind presentation of culturally appropriate art work used for the last 25 years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Native American communities to prevent the spread of the virus and to enhance community access to treatment.
