MARCH IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH:

Te Ata Thompson Fisher - Chickasaw Storyteller:

Te Ata Thompson Fisher, whose name means “Bearer of the Dawn,” was born Dec. 3, 1895, near Emet, Okla. A citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, Te Ata was an accomplished actor and teller of Native American stories.

Her career as an actor and storyteller spanned more than 60 years. During the prime of her career, she performed in England and Scandinavia, at the White House for President Franklin Roosevelt, for the King and Queen of Great Britain, and on stages across the United States.
Although Te Ata worked as an actor and drama instructor, she is best known for her artistic interpretations of Indian folklore, and for her children's book she co-authored on the subject.
Her world-renown talent has won her several honors including induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1957, being named The Ladies’ Home Journal Woman of the Year in 1976, being named Oklahoma's Official State Treasure in 1987, and having a lake near Bear Mountain in New York named in her honor.

She is also the subject of a video, God's Drum, the proceeds of which have supported the Te Ata Scholarship Fund for Indian students at her alma mater, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in Chickasha, Okla.

Te Ata died Oct. 26, 1995 in Oklahoma City, though her legacy and influence on the Native American storytelling traditions continues to this day.

#ExeterChiefs to ditch #NativeAmerican #branding after consulting fans | #Exeter | The Guardian

This my local team. I always found it incongruous that a team in the south west of England adopted a name based on #American #IndigenousPeople. I think it started out as just a marketing ploy like the Sharks, Tigers and so on. But as it's a collection of humans rather than other animals, it could with some justification be seen as insensitive #CulturalAppropriation. So, I think it's the right decision.

Why did the National Socialists consider the Sioux as Aryan? (Part IV [Preceding Here])

There is also no doubt that racial, moral and cultural reasons, although perhaps most important, were not the only ones for which the National Socialists saw the Sioux as Aryans. Undoubtedly, political and propaganda motives, about which F. Usbeck writes, were also at stake. Labeling the Sioux and Mexicans as Aryans was obviously intended to ensure friendly relations between these peoples and the German Reich, which was important in view of the anticipated conflict with the United States. In 1942, German propaganda predicted that there would soon be an Indian uprising in the United States and that the Indians would not fight alongside the Americans on the fronts of World War II. Joseph Goebbels was convinced that the Indians would never stand alongside their oppressors, from whom they had suffered so much harm over the centuries. As Timothy C. Downing emphasizes, the Germans also spent a considerable amount of their time and money trying to win the support of the Indians for the cause they fought for, and even promised to return the expropriated land to the Native Americans after winning the war.

These actions had some effect. The American Indian Federation (AIF), one of the largest political Indian organizations in the 1930s, was openly pro-German and anti-Jewish, and its members strongly criticized President Roosevelt's New Deal policy. Prominent members of this organization, such as Elwood A. Towner, an attorney from Portland and the leader of the Hupa Indians, incorporated the symbolism and ideology of National Socialism into their political agitation. In his speeches, he always appeared to the public wearing a traditional Indian costume with a swastika band, which he compared to the ancient symbol of the Indians - the Thunderbird. In his July 9, 1939 speech, Towner accused the Jews, whom he described as "chuck-na-gin", which in Indian language meant "children of Satan". He claimed that the Indians had to unite with good Christians in order to fight the Communist bug-infested administration of President Roosevelt, which he described as "evil forces". He told his listeners that the American government was under Jewish control and that President Roosevelt himself was a crypto-Jew who was in fact supposed to be called Rosenfelt. He concluded by saying that it would be a wise decision for the Native Americans to accept the ideals of National Socialism.
