The #WinnebagoTribe of #Nebraska is close to #ReclaimingLand from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, potentially ending a 50-year saga that saw the tribe’s holdings near the #MissouriRiver shrink.

#Winnebago tribe’s chairwoman says an act of #Congress needed to fix the problem is close to becoming law. It’s about 1,600 acres right along the Missouri River between #SiouxCity and #Sloan.

Don Patterson is 85-years-old, and he's never seen his tribe—the #TonkawaTribe—on the land they originated until now.

They finalized the purchased of #SugarloafMountain Tuesday afternoon at a ceremony.

The #Tonkawa tribe roamed the Central #Texas plains for hundreds of years, protecting their #SacredLands and serving as scouts with the #TexasRangers during the #IndianWars.

Listen to #Native #languages in their own voices from across #NorthAmerica .

For over 500 years, America's #FirstPeoples have fought to keep their languages alive. Now, though many of the approximately 170 languages spoken across the United States remain at risk, it is a time of hope.

The best of Aboriginal cinema on Mother Earth.

Dreamlike, realistic, striking: a cinema built in the heart of resilient cultures, a dive into the sacred and millenary universe of peoples whose survival defies the centuries.

The films of First Peoples’ Festival 2023.

Wow.
Beautiful interactive globe showing Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages of the world, along with many more resources.
(So far globe does not show India, China, Middle East, but i think they are coming.)

People are very tied to their language and don’t like change, especially when it #challenges a #PowerStructure . In #Winnipeg , Bishop Grandin, a symbol of #colonial power, is being #replaced by #languages of the #historically #oppressed : #Cree , #Ojibwe & #Métis . While this is precisely the point behind the change, it may make those uncertain about changing power structures uncomfortable.
