>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<< Lumbee Tribe Petition Please take just a minute to read this and at least famiarize yourself with the unjust treatment these people are recieving from the government . They are recognized by the State of North Carolina so why is it that Washington cant recognize these people as Lumbee Indians? >>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<< The following is a passage from my website I dedicate this website and weblink to my Lumbee Indian wife Phyllis A. Peterson/Hunt-Birthplace Fairmont,N.C. I think that it is time for Native American Indians from all across this land to do what they can do to support the recognition of the Lumbee Indians in their quest to be given the rights that all other Natives are receiving from the federal government. They have suffered in more ways than just the loss of their land. Their heritage was taken away from them. They did not choose to be forgotten. They choose not to forget who they are and continue their fight to be recognized and they are a proud people that are Indian and choose to remain so. They nor their elders should be left in this state. Should all Native Americans combine their support and lend it to the Lumbee Indians on their hard fought journey to be given full recognition and benefits by our federal government. Haven't they been hurt long enough, I ask? Talk about endangered species... they will not allow themselves to disappear. Now, I am not a spokesman for them nor am I a lawyer or politician but I am a person that believes that there time has come to be a whole part of the Indian community of these united states. The Lumbees are not wannabees. There is proud Native American blood flowing thru their veins and hearts. They are as much an Indian as the Cherokees, Navajo, Apache,Huron, Lakota, Cheyenne, Soiux,Choctaw,Iroquois,Chickasaw,Lenape,Ute,Shoshone,Cree,must I go on? I recently read about the Illiniwek Nation. These tribes of Native American Indians numbered over 20,000 in the late Seventeenth Century. Nowhere now does a single full-blood Illinois Indian exist. Your Lumbee brothers and sisters need your help! Just as the great chiefs fought together for their people to preserve their heritage and land in the Battle of the Greasy Grass ("Custer's Last Stand" to others), I urge the Chiefs of today to join together along with all their people and help your brothers and sisters of the Lumbee Tribe to gain back their equality with Native Americans throughout the land. Please contact the Lumbee Indians and please HELP! Maybe there are leaders amongst the many Indian Nations,Tribes, Bands,etc. that could rally for their own March to show what they believe in. Whom are willing to come together and show the Spirit of what the REAL Americans are about in celebration of their great great heritage. A POW WOW but one of such magnitude never seen before! A march of celebration...Not a "Trail of Tears". This land has seen one too many of them. Stand up and be counted! If this ever comes to be during my lifetime, I and my Lumbee wife and Son will be there to lend our support, I promise. This land is your land... your home...your legacy!!! Not long ago here in Philadelphia I saw the coming together of almost one million African American women marching for their cause. I was personally part of the millions that fought against the Agent Orange issue which I was affected by. I do know that if all band together and bring this issue of the Lumbee Indians to the forefront then you will force the government to giving these proud Lumbee people....your brothers and sisters the full recognition that they are rightfully due. Let the Congressmen, Senators, and the President know that the Native American Indians can show great strength and pride. Do not foresake these Lumbee people. What would your elders have done if faced with this issue...? Who are the present day Chiefs?? Which of them cares enough?? It is for them to decide!!Full Blooded aren't the only Indians...there are many Half- Breeded whom are INDIANS also! >>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<< You can learn still more about the Lumbee Indians by visiting their Homepage.

>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<< I leave you with this poem by an unknown author. What would happen if many were to do their part to help the Lumbee Brothers and Sisters? It Only Takes One!! One song can spark a moment, One flower can wake the dream. One tree can start a forest, One bird can herald the spring. One smile begins a friendship, One handclasp lifts a soul. One star can guide a ship at sea, One word can frame the goal. One vote can change a nation, One sunbeam lights a room. One candle wipes out darkness, One laugh will conquer gloom. One step must start each journey, One word must start each prayer. One hope will raise our spirits, One touch can show you care. One voice can speak with wisdom, One heart can know what's true. One life can make the difference, You see it's up to YOU! Author Unknown >>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<< I would like to thank all of you for reading my message. Thomas W. Peterson (RedHeart) email: redheart@gmail.com.com homepage: http://www.redheart213.com

Dear Mr Peterson -- I was doing a search on the Sioux Nation and came across your page. I was hoping you might be able to assist me with some very basic history which I have not been able to come across with the various sites I have searched thus far. In 1955, in Texas, a friend of mine was in the US Army and defended in a military legal issue a young soldier who ended up being dismissed of charges and who, according to his mother, was to have been next in line for leading the Sioux Nation. She came to my friend's quarters one day and said she was a daughter to Sitting Bull, and was quite concerned that if her son were to be disgraced due to the charges which were being brought by the military, then he would have no chance of assuming his rightful place as leader of his people. With the help of my friend, the boy was later dismissed from the military with no disgrace, and this friend wishes to find the woman to see what has happened in her life since that time. My friend is now in his late 60's and lives near Brownwood, Texas. Is there any way to find out who might have been leader anytime after 1955?? And which of those leaders would have had a daughter of Sitting Bull as his mother?? Not being Native American, I wish to apologize in advance if this request offends you in any way. It is just that my friend was deeply moved by this experiece 40 years ago, and upon seeing several historical sites of the Sioux in North Dakota recently, he has been moved once again to try to locate this woman and her son after so many years. Any information you could provide would be deeply appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you, and til the next time as always Take care Anne :-) Please contact Anne at--->ANNEDFW@aol.com if you can be of any help.

Subject (no subject) Date: Wed, 04 Feb 1998 22:56:38 -0600 From: cassman <cassman@ibm.net> To: "Thomas W. Peterson" <redheart@gmail.com> What we found at the Cheyenne River Green Grass Community was a group of people who are wanting a way to find self sufficiency and a method to use to feed the elderly and care for the youth and young children. A double wide mobile home had been purchased by the community to be used for what is called "The Lakota YMCA Youth Center" the building will also be used to provide the nutrition center for the elderly of the Green Grass Community. Essentially the building, once repaired and fully equiped will become a functioning Youth Center and Elderly Center, which the community has a great need for. The Cheyenne River Reservation does not have a casino on it to help support the needs of the children & elders. The Green Grass Community must find a way to support the needs of their families. They would like help with a head start to progress toward self sufficiency for their community. This is what we are asking for on behalf of the Chief and his people. This is part of what you can send your gift certificates for to help eliminate the shipping costs of gifts. The Lakota like any other people are proud people and do not like to let others know that they are in need of this assistance. A time has come where a need is to ask for help in a big way..the children and elders are suffering. Suicide rates have risen amongst the teenagers. The elderly are going without proper nutritions to survive the cold winters. The double wide that was brought in for the Youth Center is in dire need of repairs. It is basically a shell with no insulation, improper roofing, no kitchen facilities, no steps to even enter the building, Please be sure to sit down before you jump to the ground to get out of the building after you crawl up into the building, is how I best describe the situation. We took with us an electrical engineer who is a friend of ours here in Bismarck so that he could help us look at this building on behalf of the Chief and the people and help best with an estimation cost to get the YOUTH/Elder Center up and running full swing. Not counting the official supplies children need to use while learning at the Youth Center. Please be sure you are sitting down now, and keep in mind if any of you know of a way to assist with this need, please think deep and make all connections possible to help this community. The estimated cost to actually do the plumbing, electric, kitchen facility, flooring, furnance, roofing, walls, windows and the addition added on to accommodate the number of people who are all ready lined up to use the facilities, the bathroom..etc. $50,000.00 yes $50,000.00 it is almost appropriate to build new and fresh rather than to repair but the cost would still be the same. If in any way you know of a fund raiser potential and can pull one off by all means contact us to let us know. If you are in a position to donate money to have as a 501 (c) 3 tax right off, please send your checks for the Youth Center to The Lakota YMCA Youth Center c/o Gladys Looking Horse, Board member of the Youth Center. If any of you are associated with a YMCA Center off of the Reservations and know they can ask that YMCA to consider assisting this Lakota YMCA Youth Center please share this information with them so that they too can assist with this large, very large project. The Youth/Elder Center has five acres available to them at this time, they want to plant a sizable garden to feed many members who will work together to insure the outcome of a good growth. 86 and counting children and 30 and counting elderly will benefit from the food provisions grown and the use of the Youth Center. This is where your gift certificates come in, the community needs: 2 dozen each GARDEN RACKS, HOES, SHOVELS, GARDEN HOSES, SPRINKLERS, FENCING (and a scarecrow maybe) the tools to plant a garden are in absolute need. CANNING JARS WITH LIDS AND CANNING EQUIPMENT IS GREATLY NEEDED. VEGETABLE SEEDS OF Squash, carrots, watermelon, beans, pole beans, tomatoes, beets, turnips, pumpkin, lettuce, tomatoes, fruit trees of apples and peaches, marigolds for companion plantings for insects, sunflowers, cucumbers, peppers, lima beans. Are all being requested for food purposes. With the right equipment gardens are successful for year round food. The ladies can and would like to be able to sew more proficently for their families. They can earn income with their sewing skills. What is needed here again is a great starting opportunity. Sewing Machines, fabrics, threads, needles, beads, beading needles, patterns and the instructions as to how to complete the sewing and beading projects. Quilts are being made along with the clothing. The center is in great need of an industry size stove/oven appliance along with a refrigerator/freezer combination. Not to mention a proper toilet. The items that are needed inside of the finished building and also needed now until the building is complete, for the center is running out of a small log building located on the Chief's property at this time are: paper plates, regular dishes, large pots and pans to cook for many. silverware, towels, toilet paper, construction paper, crayons, pencils, paper supplies, two computers are needed, file cabinets, felt, threads, needles, paper towels, dish soap, hand soaps, black boards, art supplies (many strong artist have been seen amongst the youth) leather supplies and sports equipment such as baseballs, basket balls, kick balls, volley ball, horse shoes, bats and gloves, footballs, dolls for the girls, ribbons. (Not to mention brand new underwear needs are prevalent) Diapers, bottles, cribs, beds (children are sleeping on floors my friends) I have seen things that many do not want to see, and you can help change this condition for the better forever. Please consider what you have read here and contact us soon with your heart and your gifts. I would not be asking for these things had I not known and seen first hand the dire dire need that is on the reservations of South and North Dakota, I can only focus on one community at a time, and the Green Grass is in need to perserve the Traditional Spiritual Ways of a People of Peace. Again Thank you for reading this and for sharing this with your many friends and contacts. If anyone knows what they can do please do not hesitate to do such and help the children & elders of the Lakota, Green Grass Community.

Dear Sir: >From looking at various topics on your site I thought you may be the one to ask a specific question on Amer. Indian blood. Wannabee or not a Wannabee? I am 1/8th Florida Indian (it was either Mayaca or Creek). I have the photo of my gr. grandmother who was Indian, I also know of the possibility of two other mixed-bloods further back in our Florida history. So I may have other blood. Problem is, when I look in the mirror, I have my gr. grandmother's features. All my life other whites have treated me as though I was a minority and have asked me repeatedly what I am besides white. My father is darker but got his father's blonde hair and blue eyes and was spared all of this. It looks like it skipped a generation, but my brother is very dark and looks like he is at least half. My point being that the Indian blood can suddenly emerge very strongly with some siblings or generations and totally miss the parent to a certain extant. Other 'federally recognized' Indians do not accept us as Indians, we do not exist, we are wannabees. I want to know about my culture and be a part of it even though I am not registered with a tribe. If you look like an Indian, if other's including some Indians think you look like a 'strange white woman' and sense some Indian blood , yet you must live as a white. What is a person to do? I am tired of having to explain why my 1/8th Indian blood is important to me. My grandmother who is half, has grown up hiding it so long and saying she is just a dark Spaniard that she rejects me and refuses to acknowledge it. On applications for work they want you to check the box 'caucasian' or 'Native American', I always check caucasian obviously, but the Native American box makes me pause every time and the thought of my gr. grandmother's photo in Seminole-like dress always gives me the creeps. I feel as though I am torn and dishonoring her in some way. I feel like I am being forced to forget these ancestors who lived in FLorida for 12,000 years and did not exist. I guess the only solution is for American Indians to please stop intermarrying with whites. Down the road, maybe in just 3 or 4 generations, it will cause a lot of distress for your ancestors. I can feel what the Miami Nation of Indiana is going through trying to get recognition. But at least they get together culturally and are aware of each other and trying to form a 'tribe' of sorts. The rest of us are out there on the fringe of things; the whites dislikes us and other Indians think we are 'wannabees' if we aren't at least 1/2 or 3/4 Amer. Indian. The goofy thing is that at Dakota pow-wows I see very blonde haired, blue eyed Indian kids dancing. They were born on the res so they are tribally and governmentally recognized as Indian eventhough nowadays they may have less Indian blood than I have! I guess at some point you have to toss away that Indian ancestor's photo, because eventually the descendants will only be 1/500th Indian and again, they may know about it but you have to forget about it. If you still look like one though it can make life a little weird. Am I white or Indian? Who knows, thanks to my relatives assimilating. But other whites don't care for me when I go on trips to N. Florida or the Dakotas or Montana. They seem to enjoy reminding me that I am white skinned but I got "a little darky in there" as they like to say. If you know of anyone with these experiences and how they should 'come out'...white or Indian. Let me know. Thanks for reading my long letter. ---------Robin There must be some "Indians" out ther that recognize how truely beautiful this one-eighth Native American Indian really is. Send her an e-mail and let her know it! Robin is an INDIAN!!! Please e-mail Robin at --->ISLANDERR@aol.com

*********Buffalo Nations Alert******** Department of Livestock "inspectors" came to West Yellowstone last week and were immediately greeted in the field by three of our volunteers. Within 10 minutes a dozen backup volunteers, including members of the Inter-Tribal Bison Cooperative, were on the scene to ensure the bison's protection. Two of the members of our response team came into the field with a video camera and attempted to haze the bison away from the DOL, whose motives were as yet unclear. The DOL brandished guns loaded with apparent blanks and chased the bison in pick-up trucks. They later claimed their only intention was to haze the bison. The bison eventually crossed over into the park. Volunteers have been canvassing the local community and have put up over 40 bright pink signs on people's land which say "Bison Safe Zone: No Shooting or Harassing Bison Permitted by Order of Landowner". We are constantly heartened by the positive response of people who love the bison and want to help us. Some of our best support comes from our neighbors around our cabin, six of whom regularly go out on patrols with us. Their help allows us to have an effective presence in the field. In a lawsuit filed by the Inter-Tribal Bison Cooperative on Dec.16th, U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell (notoriously pro-cattle industry) announced that he would only allow 100 bison to be killed this year before they must return to court for more slaughter approval. As writer and grizzly bear expert Doug Peacock says, "That's 100 too many." The other complication with this "solution" is that the D.O.L. would still be able to capture and hold the bison in unnatural confinement for 5 months or more. Buffalo Nations is concerned that this is a public relations ploy which will make little positive difference in the long run for the future of the bison and may lead to their domestication. Before the hearing, Inter-Tribal Bison Cooperative Executive Director Mark Heckert, Vice President Carl Tsosie, and Spiritual Advisor Rocky Afraid of Hawk visited our office. The ITBC represents over 44 tribes and advocates that buffalo in excess of the Yellowstone ecosystem carrying capacity be sent to reservations instead of being shot or shipped to slaughter. The visitors from ITBC shared prayers and honored us with a pipe ceremony. They expressed their solidarity and support for our work here. We are still feeling strong here, and everyone feels very positive about our commitment to ensure that not one buffalo is killed this winter.

NO NUCLEAR DUMP!" Needles, CA -- Joined by 200 supporters, Tribal leaders and Elders of the Colorado River Native Nations Alliance yesterday challenged President Clinton to stop the proposed Ward Valley radioactive waste dump now. As the U.S. Department of Interior's February 13th deadline for closure of Ward Valley expired, hundreds of tribal members and supporters joined the occupation of the proposed dump site. Indian Elders set up their camp directly at ground zero, the site Interior Department officials have ordered to be vacated. "We have been forced into this position, and we have no other options," said President Michael Jackson of the Quechan Indian Nation. "This is a serious direct action, and firm commitments have been made by Indian Nations and the Save Ward Valley Coalition that we will not be moved," said Steve Lopez, speaking for the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe. "I will do this for my people and my children, even if it means giving up my life." Paddy McGuire of the U.S. Department of Interior heard the pleas of the Tribal leaders and Elders and agreed to relay their request that President Clinton meet directly with them. The Indian Nations are asking President Clinton to act now to stop the dump and uphold Executive Orders, mandates and statutes protecting Indian people and sacred areas. Proposed tritium test drilling would desecrate sacred Indian lands and destroy critical habitat for the threatened desert tortoise, a species in trouble that is also sacred to the Tribes. Ignoring environmental and Indian spiritual concerns, the Interior Department has given the tests a green light.

Dolphins, Whales and Low Frequency Active Sonar

Unknown impact on Hawaii's marine life and eco-tourist industry
Background:
The US Navy, beginning on February 25, 1998, is planning to conduct sound
experiments in excess of 195 decibels in the waters of the Big Island and
Kauai. This will have unpredictable, yet major effects on whales, dolphins,
humans, and all marine life.
Public objections include:

Adverse economic implications for the eco-tourist industry, including

divers, snorkelers, fishermen, and whale watchers.
Indiscriminate and destructive impact on our marine ecosystem.

Disruptive experimentation on endangered species during birthing.

Disorientation of whales' and dolphins' primary sensory system necessary

for communication, navigation, and social structure.
Unknown traumatic effects on human health.

We have grave concerns about the premature initiation of these experiments
without due consideration of the far-reaching impacts on the environment.
Public Hearing Petition:
Before these experiments begin, I/We _______________________ date____________
request further public hearings to explore the opinions, concerns and choices
of the People of Hawaii.

Prayer & Resource Needs

World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People September 5-13, 1998 Rapid City, South Dakota, U.S.A. Hosted by First Nations People of North America Uniting Under the Chief Shepherd - Jesus Christ

For the first time in the history of North America, First Nations Christian people from around the world will gather on the sacred homeland of the Lakota/Sioux Nation, the Black Hills of South Dakota. The first such gathering took place in November 1996 in New Zealand (Rotorua City), where the Maori people gave their traditional haka welcome during opening ceremonies.

The Creator's redemptive purpose is emerging among the tribal peoples of the earth. The cultural expressions which have been suppressed and forbidden by the Church through centuries are now being revitalized by the grace of the Almighty God through Jesus Christ to be used again in the Creator's loving design for the Nations.

The WCGIP is a time when indigenous people can bring their songs, dances, languages, regalia and stories as offerings of praise and worship to Jesus Christ, our Chief Shepherd. God is ever longing for people who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Cultural revitalization is a part of the healing process associated with a regained freedom of expression.

Our first call is to the Christian Indigenous people of the world to come and join with thousands of their Maori, Aborigine, Sioux, Saami, Inca, Zulu, Eskimo, and other brothers and sisters in Christ. The Gathering also welcomes all Natives and others to join in the celebration.

The planning committee members hosting the event hope to make it one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of your life. We look forward to meeting you in Rapid City during a coming together time of participants from the tribes, languages, peoples and nations of the Earth.
