PRIMA BALLERINA
Maria Tallchief, whose father was a member of the Osage Nation, dreamed of being a ballet dancer from the time she was a little girl. At 17, she moved to New York City to pursue a career as a ballerina but racism stood in her way. She was advised many times to change her last name so her Native American heritage wouldn’t be readily apparent, but Tallchief refused. Her hard work, talent, and unwavering persistence paid off. Maria Tallchief eventually broke barriers as the first American to dance with the Paris Opera Ballet and the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. She became the prima ballerina at the New York City Ballet and was regarded as one of the greatest
dancers in the world.
- Maria Tallchief (Osage family name: Ki He Kah Stah Tsa) struggled with discrimination against Native Americans throughout her life and career. She spoke out about the discrimination she and her family experienced as a result of their heritage throughout her career.

Why Thanksgiving Is Also a National Day of Mourning. It's important to know that for many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of mourning and protest since it commemorates the arrival of settlers in North America and the centuries of oppression and genocide that followed.

NOVEMBER
NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
Every year, news outlets and social media are a-buzz with Thanksgiving themes.
- There is little coverage of the fact that November is Native American Heritage Month or that the day after Thanksgiving, known to most as Black Friday, is Native American Heritage Day.

#native #americans #oil #protest
I was sent this book as a gift. I, along with others from Utah traveled to and from the North Dakota Reservation three times to join the protest. We brought supplies, and I volunteered in a Medical Tent. The brutality against peaceful, unarmed Native Americans was shocking, shameful, dangerous and terrible. The book awaits me. In the past I have posted some information, maps and photographs about Standing Rock. I may do so again.

BLACK SNAKE.
Information on the book.
"The controversial Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) made headlines around the world in 2016. Supporters called the pipeline key to safely transporting American oil from the Bakken oil fields of the northern plains to markets nationwide, essential to both national security and prosperity. Native activists named it the “black snake,” referring to an ancient prophecy about a terrible snake that would one day devour the earth. Activists rallied near the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota for months in opposition to DAPL, winning an unprecedented but temporary victory before the federal government ultimately permitted the pipeline. Oil began flowing on June 1, 2017."

"The water protector camps drew global support and united more than three hundred tribes in perhaps the largest Native alliance in U.S. history. While it faced violent opposition, the peaceful movement against DAPL has become one of the most crucial human rights movements of our time."

"Black Snake is the story of four leaders—LaDonna Allard, Jasilyn Charger, Lisa DeVille, and Kandi White—and their fight against the pipeline. It is the story of Native nations combating environmental injustice and longtime discrimination and rebuilding their communities. It is the story of a new generation of environmental activists, galvanized at Standing Rock, becoming the protectors of America’s natural resources."
