Thanks for visiting with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs today. What native or indigenous people live in your area? How do they use natural resources? Do you work with them on your projects?

Hi All,
Although several Native American tribes lived in eastern Colorado, none live have tribal lands there now. I am moving to a town, Kiowa, named after a tribe. Our mascot is an Indian. I understand that the school has permission from the Kiowa people to use this name and mascot in a respectful manner. There are some native individuals who live on the eastern plains and are involved in education at places such as Bent's Fort.

Hello dear International Friends!!!!
In my home town Uruaoan, Mich, we have an amazing Indigenous group; Purepechas. They are famous for their tradition "the day of the dead" please look at www.inside-mexico.com/featuredead.htm - 32k.
Purepechas are very in touch with the nature and have Projects to do conservation and economical growth in trough the adequate natural resource management the area (please look at www.conafor.gob.mx)
see you there!!!
India has the largest population of tribal people in the world. Indian tribal groups are indigenous people largely untouched by the lifestyle of the modern world. In the state of West Bengal (my home state) the major tribal group is the Santhals. Santhals are the third largest tribe in India.
The Santhal tribe’s livelihood system is highly forest centered. They fulfill their basic needs from the trees and plants of the forests. Santhals also use the forest products, to create various musical instruments, mats, baskets and other handicrafts. They also collect herbs, shrubs and fruits from the forests for food and medicine, very similar to what we learned today from Rosemary.
The government of India has realized the importance of their participation in successful implementation of sustainable forest management. Through joint forest management (JFM) program the government has made these tribal groups partial stakeholders in the public forests in various pockets of the country. I have worked in this project with various tribal groups in West Bengal from 1996 to 2002. The success of JFM program in the tribal belts of West Bengal has been acknowledged by national and international agencies. However, there are still some caveats in this program which needs to be addressed …… well ….. a perfect solution is ever elusive.
The native people are called Germans or "Germanen". Their most important natural resource is beer.
IEI group take part in the museum and experience the culture, we have dinner together. they have a serouse culture according to the report. but it has been changed lots. How can protect the culture and maitain the sustainable development, which is important. this issue also appeared in China. Especially everyboday want to have a good life, but how can cooperate them together, nature, society, and economic. this culutre tour also teach us some.
WE visit the sawmile, I have never have this experience before, it is amzing for me to see the pole become the plate after a complicated processes. Almost all of them is controled by machine. otherwise, this factory pay more attention to the cycle, they use the bark to make electricity and do other things. GOod idea!
Tomorrow, we will leave this place and have another life---in the city. it maybe different, but after these days, we maybe have new idea......
In Baja California there are four native groups: Kumiai, Paipai, Kiliwa and Cucapa.
They live in rural communities in the arid land zone and use many natural resources like plants for medicine and food (Yucca, manzanita berries, agave, biznaga cactus, pinenuts, acorns).
I worked with their in several projects about of sustainable development and environmental education.
Tillamook was actually misnamed after a tribe called the Killamook that Robert Gray encountered when he "discovered" the area. There are very few natives left in the area, and to be honest, I don't even know how to contact them.
I grew up in North Dakota where the Sioux, Chippewa, Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara tribes are found. The most active in the Bismarck area were by far the Sioux. Originally they hunted on the plains and I'm not sure, but I think roots were an important part of the diet as well. I found a fairly good website for the reservations system currently in place.

I lived closest to the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, home of the the Lakota nation. My family and I had the pleasure of volunteering with a family from Spirit Lake during the centennial celebration. They were basket weavers (birch bark, I believe - they were incredible!) and also shared traditional song and dance with us.
I don't know the area of St. Helens yet, so I look forward to discovering the history!
The native people in my area are the same that we visited in Warm Springs. However, my parents live in a town called Florence on the Oregon coast. My father is a police officer with the confederated tribes in that area. Like we saw with Suzie, salmon is very important to the tribe. They have 2 seasons...Salmon season and NOT salmon season.
