| Sep 13 So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Tecumseh (1768-1813) Shawnee On this date in Native American history : The American have not yet defeated us by land ; neither are we sure that they have done so by water ; we therefore, wish to remain here, and fight our enemy, if they should make an appearance. If they defeat us, we will then retreat with our father. You have got the arms and ammunition which our great father sent for his red children. If you have an idea of going away, give them to us, and you may go and welcome. Tecumseh, Shawnee Speaking to Colonel Henry Proctor, who wanted Tecumseh and his people to retreat with the British into Canada. September 13, 1813. | |

Below are just a few alternative tribal names. Common name/Tribal name : Anadarko / Nadaco Cuyuga / Kweniogwen Cherokee / Tsalagi Crow / Absaroke Iowa / Paodja Kickapoo / Kiwigapawa Lumbee / Cheraw Navajo / Dineh Shawnee / Savannah | |

| Sep 16 Every part of this Earth is sacred to my people, every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect... Chief Seattle (Seathl) (1785-1866) Duwamish-Suquamish Did you know? Interested in attending a powwow? There are basic guidelines. Listen to the master ceremonies. Remove your hat, and stand when others do. Seats inside the circles are reserved for performers. Do not dress like an Indian or mimic the Native people. Do not touch a person's regalia (outfit) without permission. If you are asked to dance by elder, do so. Saying no is disrespectful. Pick up your trash. Support the people via donations or by purchasing items at vending areas. | |

| Sep 18 The entire creation still follows ...instructions of life. The tree, the fruits, they never fail. They never make a mistake to bring their fruits in their season. The animals never make a mistake. They still live as they were created. Among the creation...Life, the circle, a measurement with no beginning and no ending. Philip Deere Muskogee-Creek, 1977 | |

| September 20 : To "make medicine" is to engage upon a special period of fasting, thanksgiving, prayer and self denial, even of self torture. The procedure is entirely a devotional exercise. The purpose is to subdue the passions of the flesh and to improve the spiritual self. The bodily abstinence and the mental concentration upon lofty thoughts cleansers both the body and the soul and puts them into or keeps them in health. Then the individual mind gets closer toward conformity with the mind of the Great Medicine above us. Wooden Leg Cheyenne, late 19th century | |

Did you know? A sweat lodge is a ceremonial building made of twigs, animal hides, and / or tree bark, and is used for purification purposes.

| Sep 22 You say you are sent to instruct us how to worship the Great Spirit agreeably to his mind ; and if we do not take hold of the religion which you white people teach we shall be unhappy hereafter? You sAy that you are right, and we are lost. How do you know this to be true? We understand that your religion is written in a book. If it was intended for us as well for you, why has not the Great Spirit given it to us ; and not only to us, but why did he not give our forefathers the knowledge of that book, with the means of understanding it rightly? Red Jacket (Sagoyewatha) Seneca, about 1790 | |

"I don't know nearly as much as you men sitting around here, but I would like to offer my humble opinion...and then he will knock you down with logic and wisdom. Allen Quetone Kiowa, 1974 | |

| September 26 : The many moons and sunny days we have lived here will long be remembered by us. The Great Spirit has smiled upon us and made us glad. But we have agreed to go. We go to a country we know little of. Our home will be beyond a great river on the way to the setting sun. We will build our wigwams there in another land... The men we leave here in possession of these lands cannot say Keokuk or his people ever took up the tomahawk...In peace we bid you goodbye...If you come see us, we will gladly welcome you.

This speech was given when his people were told they would have to relocate west of the Mississippi River, September 26, 1833. | |

| September 28 We respected our old people above all others in the tribe. To live to be so old they must have been brave and strong, and good fighters, and we aspired to be like them. We never allowed our old people to want for anything...We looked upon our old people as demigods of a kind, we loved them deeply. They were all our fathers. Buffalo Child Long Lance (1890-1932) | |
