- 24.7%

- Mainstream
charitable grants over $10,000 to "Native American
Issues" has remained at about 1/20th of 1% of
all grants made in the U.S. for the last two decades;
- Some
mainstream charitable foundations that include 'diversity'
in their grantmaking priorities in the United States
still exclude Native Americans as a part of their
grantmaking interests or activities.

EPISODE
FOUR: Surviving on a shoe string
More than half of the nation's American Indians live
in cities. But only a fraction of federal funding for
native services goes to cities. The result is an under-served
population. A community where problems persist, even
among 3rd and 4th generation urban Indians, who know
no other life except the city. One group of adults is
trying to keep youth on the right track through an all-volunteer
basketball league. Their motto: "keep the kids on the
court, to keep them out of court." The group is now
trying to raise money to start a Native American Athletic
Association.Four 9-minute segments to air during NPR's

Arthur H. DeRosier Jr., CEO/Senior Fellow, Western Heritage
Center, Billings, BillingsGazette.com, MT
When
I came to the Western Heritage Center as senior fellow,
I brought an idea for a history project whose goal was
supporting Indian scholars researching and writing histories
of their tribes. Wouldn't it be nice if the millions
of tourists visiting our state during the 2004-2006
celebration were able to learn something about the tribes
that the Lewis and Clark expedition team met when they
entered Montana 200 years earlier? I visited with Sen.
Conrad Burns and his staff, and, with the help of friends
and supporters, convinced the senator of the idea's
worth, and he pledged his support. Lo and behold, it
was funded at the $1 million level and was approved
by the president. Without Burns' support and intervention,
the project would have remained a dream, possibly not
even funded the following year. He made the difference.
On behalf of all in the Western Heritage Center and
all who want a fuller history of the Yellowstone River
Valley, I thank Burns for his support of a project that
will make a difference in the arena of understanding
and appreciation of others.
The
$1 million was released in July 2003. Since then, a
project director, Francine Bear Don't Walk, has been
appointed, and we have hired talented field directors
for both the Crow and Northern Cheyenne tribes...more

Worth Sharing - Origins of 'powwow'
shared
by G.B. Starr-Bressette, Ojibwe - writings by Carl Masthay,
linguist/anthropologist
The
American Indian word most inconsistently spelled all
over North America is "powwow," which has a lower-case
p and no hyphen or space. It came from the Algonquian
Massachusett (formerly "Natick" and Wampanoag/Wôpanâak)
pauwau and Narragansett (in Rhode Island) powwaw and
means 'he dreams' in more ancient times but in more
recent times 'he uses divination', with the final -
w meaning a verbal 'he' or 'she', and so it has to be
an unbroken word, not Pow Wow or PowWow or Pow-Wow.
Back
in the mid-1970s this note was passed over to most of
the indigenous Amerindian newspapers, in which it was
published and adopted as houseword style from then on,
but as time passed and inconsistent use kept on resurfacing,
there is some need to restate this minor matter. - Carl
Masthay

Native
Americans at Stanford build community
...The
Stanford American Indian Organization (SAIO) and the
groups it encompasses have performed the incredible
feat of creating a strong community for the diverse
group of students at Stanford who identify themselves
as Native American. Moreover, they have done great things
- last November, the Stanford American Indian Science
and Engineering Society was named "Chapter of the Year"
at the Annual National AISES Conference.
But
while the Native American students at Stanford have,
for the most part, a solid understanding of one another
- despite their tribal differences - the community has
not entirely connected with the rest of Stanford. The
feeling of living in a bubble that many Stanford students
experience is doubly felt by Native students who, in
Stanford's microcosm of diversity and awareness, still
deal with a lack of understanding from their peers..."Sometimes
people will say we're the 'minority of the minorities,'"
Kjono said. "There a lot of things that people just
don't understand, and a lot of things that have been
made politically correct or incorrect for other minorities
that do not necessarily apply to Native Americans. I
guess that's kind of our job as a community: to educate
people."...more...including

with Rhode Island Foundation grants to nine artists.

Holiday
time brought increase in giving
by: David
Melmer, Indian Country Today, NY
PINE
RIDGE, S.D. - Some American Indian nations have difficulty
meeting daily needs and fall into financial difficulties
that often occur at the worst times of the year. Pine
Ridge is one of those tribes. More than 300 people were
laid off from government jobs before the holidays because
of a major shortfall in funds. But with the help of
others who found success in gaming there was hope this
holiday season. The National
Indian Gaming Association raised $30,000 for The
Oglala Lakota on Pine Ridge. The check was handed to
President John Yellow Bird Steele by Ernie Stevens Jr.,
president of NIGA.
"In the spirit of giving, which is a tradition among
all of our Native communities, NIGA and Pine Ridge have
organized this drive so that needy families will not
go without during this holiday season," said Stevens.
"Help is needed especially at Pine Ridge."
Contributions to the drive were from SODAK
Gaming, Inc., the Viejas
Band of Kumeyaay Indians, the San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the Mohegan
Tribe and Sycuan
Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. An additional $15,000
was also raised which will provide Christmas checks
to recently laid-off tribal employees at Pine Ridge...
The Shakopee
Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Minnesota also took
part in holiday giving. The Shakopee operate the very
successful Mystic Lake Casino Hotel just minutes south
of the Twin Cities.
SMSC holiday donations amounted to $141,800 for 29 service
agencies in the Twin Cities, Minnesota tribes and South
Dakota organizations and tribes...more
