I love to play sports, meet new people, and I love to make art. I am Cahuilla Indian. One of my great ancestors was called “FigTree John” because he was known for planting the first fig tree in the Coachella Valley. He was my grandmas great great great grandpa. His real name was John Razon. He was from the Torrez Martinez Indian Reservation. My autonym is Mau-Wal-Mah Su-Kutt Menyil,which is said to mean “among the palms, deer moon.
This is my first blog, I usually do video blog not blogging blogging. So I am a new person to Native Pipeline, my name is Shane John; I am from Shiprock, New Mexico. I come from a family of four including myself, I have three older sisters one of whom is adopted and one little brother. =D The place that I live is one of the biggest places to find Uranium and because of that, alot of companies try to get there hands on it. Sadly they do go to families that are struggling and get the land form them because they will give them cold hard cash. We have been asked a total of fives time within the past two years, but everything they come back they keep raising the prices. I mean it is tempting but we still say no…….

My name is amber and I’m Cherokee Indian. When I first started this program I had no knowledge of my history other than the famous Trail of Tears, hungry for more information, fortunately there are opportunities to learn about your culture.I hope to know all of you better by the end of this program and never stop learning.
Would like to start blogging often 😀 Seems top be a good opportunity to get to know people and collaborate our thought and expand our thoughts to others 😀

Hi my name is Christa and i am from the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. The reservation that my family is from is in Kansas, my grandma was born there and so was my mom but she only lived there for a few months and then moved to California. I was born in Covina, California and I am 16 years old. I am turning 17 on Thursday XD. I Have 2 brothers, Johnny who is 14 and Tommy who is 18.
Hmm, a story about my tribe is that if you look on a map you can see that there are 2 reservations for the Iowa Tribe, one in Kansas/Nebraska and another in Oklahoma. the Northern and Southern Tribe. The reason this is is because when settlers moved us from the state of Iowa to Oklahoma there were two chiefs. They were twin brothers named White Cloud and No Heart, White Cloud wanted to move back north to Iowa and No Heart wanted to stay put. The Tribe ended up splitting up and White Cloud moved North to Kansas and Nebraska because he got stopped half way there and was put on the reservation in the bottom right-hand corner of Kansas and the upper right-hand corner of Nebraska. Also my tribe’s name is the Ioway but you can also say Iowa.
Here is some little information about my tribe. GO crazy..! Click —–> 😀
