shared by Nancy Lecompte on 27 Dec 12 - No Cached
  • old family stories that are handed down aren't always the whole truth
  • These old stories, even if they are greatly embellished, usually hold clues so they are valuable to the researcher.
  • So there are two points to be made. 1) Record all of the old family stories as told to preserve them and 2) Don't be surprised if the stories aren't exactly the complete truth.

  • These books are helpful in giving an overview of the family and supplying dates and places not otherwise easily available. Unfortunately, few of this type of book were written when the academic standards included adding source citations for the information contained in the book.
  • The detail of the information given lends credence to the contents, but the lack of source citations is frustrating when even a minimal amount of research begins to reveal discrepancies and inconsistencies
  • If you are fortunate enough to find and use a surname book, a word to the wise, use the information with discretion.

  • any transmitted story should be checked against the known facts and preserved as a "story" and not as history. If there is substantiation of all or part of the story, then a citation to a source should be provided. Simply copying and repeating traditionally held stories is not history

    A very interesting article (if you ignore the white superior Christian attitude of the writer) describing the life of the Montagnais. I especially enjoyed the description of the inside of a wigwam full of people and all their worldly possessions.

  • Prior to the 1930s and 1940s, adoption was a very informal process.
  • Sometimes, especially in the case of a child whose parent(s) have died, there may be some official paperwork.
  • Quite often, however, these arrangements were completely unofficial.

Thoughts from Polly's Granddaughter: Call to Action - Proposed Changes to the Indian Ar... - 0 views

  • If we want to protect the integrity of our authentic Indian made arts and crafts, it is urgent that everyone contact their Congress people and insist they stop these changes.
  • there are other fakes out there today
  • They are also claiming tribes mentioned in history books no one has heard from in 200 years. These fakes join together to form fake tribes and several states have granted recognition to them without one iota of authenticity. The fakes sell art as Indian made, teach a bastardized Indian culture in schools and to the public.
  • Nancy Lecompte on 10 Apr 13
     
    Ne-Do-Ba encourages our followers to get involved and stop the state created fake tribes and various culture clubs claiming to be tribes from selling their crafts as authentic Native crafts. This practice represents yet another way for non-Natives to continue taking from the Native People of America. It is time for the non-Natives of this continent to stop taking things that don't belong to them. Having a Native ancestor a number of generations in the past does not make you Native or entitle you to special privileges. Your ancestors gave up those rights when they left their Native communities and assimilated into non-Native culture. Everyone should respect your ancestors and the choices they made even if you don't approve. If they had made a different choice - YOU would not be here today!
