real native american stories

Do you mean myths or histories or modern stories?

I knew a few people from various Native Nations. I could tell you stories about them, but they'd be pretty boring stories.

Or the Curious could read Sherman Alexie..

You could always read what they did here recently:

Or watch the movie, Smoke Signals.

Damn curious poses, in a short time, something like 45 questions, apparently unrelated.
Is this some kind of spray test? Is curious capable of conversation?

I dunno, I kind of liked the range of questions Curious posted.

Seems like some kind of class survey...

Can you tell me more?

You should really track down the story of Tom Three Persons. The theme has been used in several movies, including The Outlaw Josie Wells.

That's very interesting, thanks for pointing me in that direction. I've already found some good reads.

I am not sure if this is what ossobuco meant but, you can read about it here

ossobuco,
If I am wrong, just yell at me

I liked this book



In 1854 Cheyenne Chief Little Wolf asked for 1,000 white women as brides for his warriors in exchange for 1,000 horses. Using this true incident, Fergus lets his imagination go wild and creates a journal of one of his ancestors who became one of those brides in 1875.

Yes, that's the guy, TTH.

Oh good. I didn't want to get yelled at, not that I have ever seen you yell at someone. I looked at the "Unanswered" posts and my face was like this
That is really damn curious, no pun intended btw.

plenty of good sources and stories and photos and facts here: http://www.leonardpeltier.net/documents/historywalk1/HistoryWalkEdited.htm

I do yell at people and mostly, though not always, I'm sorry afterward - not for the content, usually, but the way of expressing it.

We all are growing up, even some of us of added years.

1877

I WILL FIGHT NO MORE FOREVER

(Surrender Speech)

by Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce

I WILL FIGHT NO MORE FOREVER -

I am tired of fighting.

Our chiefs are killed.

Looking Glass is dead.

Toohulhulsote is dead.

The old men are all dead.

It is the young men who say no and yes.

He who led the young men is dead.

It is cold and we have no blankets.

The little children are freezing to death.

My people, some of them,

Have run away to the hills

And have no blankets, no food.

No one know where they are-

Perhaps they are freezing to death.

I want to have time to look for my children

And see how many of them I can find.

Maybe I shall find them among the dead.

Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired.

My heart is sad and sick.

From where the sun now stands

I will fight no more forever. - -

Very sad story.
