| November 3 Happiness is not only good I itself but it. Is very beautiful. Hopi teaching A Native to know : Billy Mills, Oglala Sioux, was born June 30,1938, in South Dakota. He is known for his outstanding long distance running abilities and his accomplishments at the 1964 Summer Olympic games in Japan. Mills entered the 10,000 meter run, knowing that no American has ever won that race. Mills ran the 10,000 meter, won the gold, and stands today as the only Native American to do so. The 1984 movie Running Brave is based on this victory.

| November 4 All life is Wakan. So also is everything which exhibits power, whether in action, as the winds and drifting clouds, or in passive endurance, as the boulder by the wayside. For even the commonest sticks and stones have a spiritual essence which must be revered as a manifestation of the all pervading mysterious power that fills the universe. Francis Laflesche Osage

| November 7 Never be elevated above measure by success...nor delighted with the sweets of peace to suffer insults. Pushmataha (1764-1824) Choctaw tribal leader
On this date in Native American history : November 7, 1811. Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, and others were traveling through southern American Indian communities seeking an alliance of nations for his confederacy against the white takeover within their homelands. In his absence, his brother, Tenskwatawa was to care for the Shawnee people and was ordered by Tecumseh not to engage in battles with the whites. Knowing of Tecumseh's absence, William Henry Harrison and more than 1,000 of his men invaded the village and force Tenskwatawa into battle that devastates the Shawnee. Today this fight is called The Battle of Tippecanoe. | |

| November 8 We first knew you a feeble plant which wanted to grow. We gave it to you ; and afterward,when we could have trod you under our feet, we protected you ; and now you have green to be a mighty tree, whose top branches the clouds, and whose branches over spread the whole land, whilst we, who were the tall pines of the forest, have become a feeble plant and need your protection. Red Jacket (Sagoyewatha) c. 1752-1830 Seneca | |

| November 9 Those who know how to play can easily leap over the adversities of life. And one who knows how to sing and laugh never brew mischief. Iglulik proverb
On this date in Native American history : November 9, 1969. The occupation of Alcatraz, a defining moment in modern Native American history. In 1969, Indian activists, following the lead of the black civil rights movement, staged several protests. One of the most newsworthy was the occupation of Alcatraz Island, once the country's most notorious prison. The occupation, which helped American Indians achieve a visibility long denied them, was solidly based on treaty rights, and helped build a movement that continues to support members of the community to this day. | |

depression? http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERcrystal.htm depression is the state of mind in which dialog no longer is a finding mission. in which the foundation common to all is broken up like after an atomic explosion. in which our frequency patterns are no longer in harmony. in which all reality is deemed illusion. it's all in my mind only. i only look into mirrors. broken.. wholeness and individual "choice" between i and non-i without any distinction and appreciation, but indifference supposed to bridge that..? definitely non-i. knowing the reason, but left alone with it growing.. |

| lavender orchid, many thanks for sharing. I was not aware of the Nov 9th riots and injustices done. If I am may ask what ethnicity as well as religion do you follow? I ask because I see so much multi culturalism. It shouldn't make a difference. You do not have to answer if you don't wish. I am half Puerto Riccan & half Bellorussian. I am existentialist in my outlook, and disposition. | |

| lightsun:
conception in dark nights and tense silences sometimes lets you seek for all the questions that have escaped the answers not a choice made voluntary it remains a battle
vision quest is an ongoing one time experience religion not a performance skin and eye color another variation of flawed beauty perhaps and in dire need of healing rather than a production of mass perfections
welcome and belonging came before that iron age in days of lemuria remembered not transfixed in inevitable consequences... not ethnicity but cultures resonate with (my) being
your words sound a far-away none-the-less sweet consistence part of a lifeline it appears right now
(smiling at bello.... not far from bellevue) |

| Well thanks for answering. lavender I hang my head in shame, at not understanding at times, what it is you wish to share. It is as if, I have to decipher it. It is very frustrating. I ask a question, which I hope is reasonable and the answer is opaque and hard to decipher accurately. It is as if I have to guess. Much love. Much respect for you. Many blessings and I hope things get better. | |

| November 11 Try to do something that is brave. That man is most successful who is foremost. Jumping Bull Hunkpapa Sioux A Native to know : In early 1800, Sacagawea was kidnapped from her tribe, the Shoshone, by Crow Indians and sold to Mandans. She married a French trapper, and by the time she was 18, she had his child. She remained a captive until the fur trapper made a deal with Lewis and Clark that allowed Sacagawea to be the interpreter and guide they needed to lead them through the wild terrain. Sacagawea and her child made history when they embarked on the lengthy journey. She was eventually reunited with her Shoshone people. | |

| November 12 Brother, listen to us, your younger brothers. As we see something in your eyes that looks dissatisfaction, we now clear them. You have credited bad stories against us. We clean your ears, that you may hear better hereafter. We wish to remove every bad thing. from your heart, that you may be as good as your ancestors. We saw you coming with an uplifted tomahawk in your hand. We now take it from you, and throw it up to God. Brother, as you are a warrior, take hold of this chain of friendship, and let us think no more of war, in pity of our old men, women, and children. We, too, are warriors. (addressing British Colonel Henry Bouquet, November 12, 1764) Red Hawk Shawnee | |
