I've been so excited for this book, and now it's here, just in time for Thanksgiving! At last, a story of Thanksgiving written by a member of the Wampanoag people, telling real history in a way that is accessible to little ones. This book tells the often-fictionalized tale from a Native perspective, creating the character of Weeâchumun (corn) to tell the story, along with Nokomis (grandmother), who unfolds the events to her grandchildren. It shows the generosity and caring of the Wampanoag people, and the mixed feelings of welcoming and wariness they felt for the people who needed help, but did not listen to the land. It tells the accurate account of the "first Thanksgiving," where settlers prepared a feast and fired muskets into the air, which alerted the Wampanoag (they didn't invite them to the feast). It notes how for settlers, the day is called Thanksgiving, but for many native people, it is a day of mourning. Yet this book is not somber, but thoughtful, a prelude to learning more (the back matter is particularly helpful). I strongly recommend this to all teachers, parents, and anyone wanting to show kids a "true" Thanksgiving story. #socialstudies #keepunumuk #thanksgiving #kindergarten #wampanoag #firstnationspeople #firstpeople #nativeamericans #americanindian #thanksgiving2022 #americanindianheritagemonth #nativeamerican #nativeamericanheritagemonth #teachinghardhistory #teacherlibrarian #teachthetruth #teachtruth #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #librariansfollowlibrarians #librariansofinstagram #schoollibrarian #librarian #historyforkids #history #childrensbooks #ownvoices https://www.instagram.com/p/CkrjQryMd-q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m dedicating my new cycle of costal paintings to the memory of Ruth West Coombs and all ‘other’ islanders whose stories & histories yet remain to be told. I’ve spent most summers and many winters on Nantucket, over the past 27 years, and until very recently knew little if anything about these others’ histories. Hats off to @ACKhistory & @MAAHmuseum for attempting to re-integrate their stories back into the psyche of a culture that resides on their native land. Untitled (Ruth West Coombs), ink and acrylic on canvas, 12x12 ins, 2022, #HomaTaj. Nantucket-born Ruth West (1895–1964) was an artists - a singer and a concert pianist - who was descended from Martha’s Vineyard #Wampanoags at both Aquinnah and Chapaquiddick. “She was a member of the Federation of American Indians and performed around New England as Princess Red Feather, ‘the singing princess.’ According to her obituary, ‘She was a descendant of the Indian Chief Massasoit and was a pianist as well as a noted singer. She started piano lessons at the age of nine and when a young lady studied voice in New Bedford.’ She married Mashpee Wampanoag Darius Coombs, who moved to Nantucket with his brother Otis. They are all interred in a family plot in Prospect Hill Cemetery (text courtesy @ACK history).” More about Wapanoag First Nation Americans https://wampanoagtribe-nsn.gov/wampanoag-history #Nantucket #FirstNations #NativeAmericans #FirstPeople #IndianCountry (at Nantucket, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_sEXyuRXD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Awakening — The First Man

In the mythological times, humans were in the period of agricultural and pastoral civilization. As a result, male gods and male heroes dominated the myths. So god created man first and forgot that man would lose the meaning of life without a woman.

INDIGENOUS.  “If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys.” – Chief Dan George, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, British Columbia, Canada

Two Spirits

Two Spirits

Most Indigenous tribes were models of gender equality. This was not just for women rights, but also for the acceptance of gender fluidity. Many tribes had specific names for someone who did not fit the European idea of binary male/female. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers and missionaries used the word “Beradache” to describe Native Americans who did not fit into European gender norms. It was common for whites, especially Christian missionaries, to persecute and imprison Indigenous people who did not conform to their narrowly defined model of marriage and dating. Because of the word’s strong connection with abuse against Indigenous people, “beradache” is now considered offensive. In 1990, the third annual American Indian gay and lesbian conference in Winnepeg, Canada created the term “two-spirit”, an English translation of the Ojibwa (Chippewa) words “niizh manidoowag”. As a completely created modern term, it is not without criticism, and is not meant to replace historic native terms which vary from tribe to tribe.

Lozan (1840-1889) was a warrior, medicine person, mediator, and the sister of Bi-duyé (Chief Victorio) of the Chiricahua (Apache) tribe. She was respected for her fighting skills as well as her intelligence and cunning and even fought alongside Goyaałé (Geronimo). She is documented as having a long term relationship with a female partner, Dahteste (1860-1955), as both a friend and a lover. Dahteste was a skilled Apache warrior and translator. After Lozan died of tuberculosis, Dahteste did marry a man and have children but mourned the loss of Lozan for the rest of her life.

Hastiin Klah (also spelled Hosteen Klah, 1867-1937) is believed to have been born intersex. The Diné (Navajo) recognized four genders. Klah was considered a Nádleehi, "one who changes". He was a master sand painter, chanter, weaver, and healer. He developed a long term friendship with Mary Cabot Wheelwright, a wealthy anthropologist who valued Indigenous arts. He is considered to have saved traditional Navajo weaving arts and was instrumental in documenting the Diné religion and traditional ceremonies. Wheelwright and Klah founded the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He died shortly before the museum opened in 1937.

Osh-Tisch (1854-1929) was of the Apsáalooke (Crow) tribe which used the term “Badé” to describe a man who chooses to live as a woman. According to a rare interview with U.S. Army General Hugh Scott, Osh-Tisch said she was always inclined to be a woman for as long as she could remember. Her hide-tanning, lodge building, and healing skills were legendary. Despite being denounced by a Baptist minister, Osh-Tisch continued to cross-dress because she felt it was her path. Records indicate Osh-Tisch married a woman and adopted a child. When she eventually moved to a reservation, she became a skilled poker player and took up sewing in place of hide-tanning. She won several local sewing contests.

We’wha (1849-1896) was born into the Zuni tribe of New Mexico. The Zuni valued people like We’wha and called them “Lhamana”. They were believed to be linked to the duality of the spiritual world often described in traditional mythology. By all accounts We’wha was known for generosity and congeniality. She befriended Matilda Coxe Stevenson, an influential anthropologist, who invited We’wha to Washington, D.C. in 1886. Being fluent in English, and thought to be a cis gender woman, We’wha became a celebrity among Washingtonian society including meeting President Grover Cleveland. She returned to her people and remained on the reservation until her death in 1896.

Next Life

Welcome to the Preface of America in the making,

the part before the main part where we invented

our own history, crafting a narrative of destiny and

development sanitized of all those nasty, bloody parts

where we massacred innocent women and children,

broke treaties, seized land, poisoned populations out

of existence, and brokered in the purchasing of souls.

Those endless prairies of tall grass across the Dakotas

grow well in soil enriched with slaughter, but standing

there looking north towards the clouds, you would

never know what skeletons hide beneath, occasional

ribs poking through the turf, picked clean by crows.

Most have returned to the world as wolf, fox, raven,

and bear, churned through the entrails of history,

like a tossed glass bottle renewed to sand, saturated

through the silt into rivers, into salmon, into stone.

Maybe it is part of the larger circle within the circle,

and this is all preface to some other, greater vision.

The eyes of some see farther, backwards and forwards.
