Yes, once again ...... since I am using my other Harddrive on this one old computer, yes two on one:) I am in XP now so have FireFox ... the other harddrive is Windows 98.
So anyway have to go to FireFox to edit my spelling and put in missing pictures.
I need to find a free counter as AOLs keeps quiting on me ..... have no idea how many counts I have missed ....... Why a counter? Vain?;) Maybe a little but as my sites are info not my gossip and my silly me-sums ramblings... believe me they would be... I do not get many comments, so the counter shows me if there is any interest in what I am sharing as I do have my Main Home site at Spirit In The Wind;.......... so NAMoments and NativeArtsCulture my special friend's site are something extra on the side as I love to share info. I try to bring my findings all together. We are all so different, so it is educational for me also, to learn others ways of tribes, nations, bands, ranches and the differences in stories and art. Beautiful and Exciting really! I hope people enjoy and learn also. Thank you for stopping in to visit:)
LOL thanks D for counter and comment ! ;) Hope your day is better then mine! Not sure AOL will let me put in counter today the way it is going, but it is starting to be fun in a crazy way. LOL

"American Indian" or "Native American": Which Is Correct?
Bismarck, Follow the Stories: "American Indian" or "Native ...
... "I Am An American Indian, Not a Native American!," by Russell Means. From Bismarck,
North Dakota (2006). Read the Highlights. posted on 4.24.2006. ... PBS TV
Moreover, a large number of Indians actually strongly object to the term Native American for political reasons. In his 1998 essay "I Am An American Indian, Not a Native American!", Russell Means, a Lakota activist and a founder of the American Indian Movement (AIM), stated unequivocally, "I abhor the term 'Native American.'" He continues:
It is a generic government term used to describe all the indigenous prisoners of the United States. These are the American Samoans, the Micronesians, the Aleuts, the original Hawaiians, and the erroneously termed Eskimos, who are actually Upiks and Inupiaqs. And, of course, the American Indian.
I prefer the term American Indian because I know its origins. ... As an added distinction the American Indian is the only ethnic group in the United States with the American before our ethnicity.
At an international conference of Indians from the Americas held in Geneva, Switzerland, at the United Nations in 1977 we unanimously decided we would go under the term American Indian. "We were enslaved as American Indians, we were colonized as American Indians, and we will gain our freedom as American Indians and then we can call ourselves anything we damn please."
Yet others argue that neither term should be used, because they both blur the differences between various Indian peoples. In her essay "What's in a Name? Indians and Political Correctness," Christina Berry, a Cherokee writer, argues that people should avoid the terms Indian and Native American:
In the end, the term you choose to use (as an Indian or non-Indian) is your own personal choice. ... Very few Indians that I know care either way. The recommended method is to refer to a person by their tribe, if that information is known. The reason is that the Native peoples of North America are incredibly diverse. It would be like referring to both a Romanian and an Irishman as European. It's true that they are both from Europe, but their people have very different histories, cultures, and languages. The same is true of Indians. The Cherokee are vastly different from the Lakota, the Dine, the Kiowa, and the Cree, but they are all labeled Native American. So whenever possible an Indian would prefer to be called a Cherokee or a Lakota or whichever tribe they belong to. This shows respect because not only are the terms Indian, American Indian, and Native American an over simplification of a diverse ethnicity, but you also show that you listened when they told what tribe they belonged to. ... What matters in the long run is not which term is used but the intention with which it is used.
| The Harvest Moon Shines on Oct. 6 |
 The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon. At this time of year, the moon rises at about the same time each night, just after sunset, giving farmers extra hours of light to bring in the harvest. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. |
So beautiful...look sideways to the left to see the praying rocks.
