Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?
By the age of 10, most children in the United States have been taught all 50 states that make up the country. But centuries ago, the land that is now the United States was a very different place. Over 20 million Native Americans dispersed across over 1,000 distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups populated the territory.
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy.

May the beauty in front of me keep me going.
May the beauty behind me keep me going.
May the beauty that is upon me keep me moving.
May the beauty beneath me push me forward.
May the beauty around me push me forward.
Kledze Hatal verse
May the beauty that is in front of me make me move forward.
May beauty be behind me make me move forward.
May the beauty that is above me move me forward.
May the beauty below me move me forward.
May the beauty that is around me move me forward.

SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR ...
Positivity changes a mind,
A kind word lifts many burdens,
A good deed makes a heart heal,
A gentle voice lifts many broken hearts,
Always say something nice,
Always say something with care,
Always say something in kindness,
Always say something genuine concern,
Always say something with compassion,
Always lift someone up,
Always give what you've got,
Always extend an out reached hand,
Always try to patch, mend broken hearts,
Always do something to heal shattered souls,
What goes around,
Eventually comes full circle,
What's unleashed is delivered,
Someday,
You might be needing,
To hear echoes of yourself ...

Loco (1823–2 February 1905) was a Copper Mines Mimbreño Apache chief who was known for seeking peace at all costs with the US Army, despite the outlook of his fellow Apaches like Victorio and Geronimo.
Name
Loco's Apache name was Jlin-tay-i-tith, "Stops His Horse". One theory suggested that he earned his nickname, "Loco", because he was 'crazy' enough to trust the white men." Yet, this view is not held by most historians. Bud Shapard, former chief of the Bureau of Research at the BIA from 1978 to 1987, points out that he got his name from his actions at a battle against the Mexicans, where he supposedly braved gunfire in order to save an injured warrior. Loco related this story to John Gregory Bourke in 1882 as well.
Time as chief
After the deaths of Cuchillo Negro, chief of the Warm Springs Tchihende, (1857) and Mangas Coloradas, chief of the Copper Mines Tchihende, (1863), the Copper Mines Mimbreños and the Warm Springs Mimbreños, under Pindah's pressure, were forced to leave the Pinos Altos area, near Santa Rita del Cobre, and try to concentrate in the Ojo Caliente area. Both of the tribe's bands after Delgadito's death in 1864 had dual chiefs: the Copper Mines Tchihende were under Loco and the Warm Springs Tchihende were under Victorio (who, already chosen as his son-in-law by Mangas Coloradas, was preferred to the older Nana).
The Mimbreños accepted to settle in a reservation at Ojo Caliente and later at Cañada Alamosa, but the Mimbreño reservation was abolished, and Victorio's and Loco's people was sent to the Mescalero reservation at Tularosa. When the Government stated to deport the Mimbreños to San Carlos, in 1877 Victorio and Loco led back their people to Ojo Caliente, but, in 1878, 9th Cavalry was sent to bring them back to San Carlos. Victorio took again the warpath, but Loco was arrested and could not join Victorio in his last war in 1879–1880, remaining in the San Carlos reservation.
In 1882, when a party of Apaches including Geronimo forced Loco to leave for Mexico, Loco instead waged guerilla warfare against the Chiricahuas. In 1886, Loco went to Washington, D.C. to negotiate; however, like Geronimo, he was made prisoner and sent to Florida.
Legacy
Unlike the militants Geronimo and Victorio, Loco was an advocate for peace.
Loco was a strong proponent of education and was the first chief to send his children to school while at San Carlos Agency in 1884. Another of his sons was the first to attend the Indian school in Alabama in 1889

“The true Indian does not set any price either on his property or on his labor. His generosity is only limited by his strength and ability. He considers it an honor to be chosen for difficult or dangerous service and would think it shameful to ask for a reward.
Teton Sioux Chief 1837 -1918
John Grass's English name came from the Dakota "Pezi," meaning "Field of Grass"; he also was sometimes called Mato Wtakpe (Charging Bear).
He was a son of Grass, a Sioux leader of the early nineteenth century.
He spoke a number of Dakota dialects as well as English, so he was one of the few peaople in the Dakotas who could communicate with nearly everyone else.
Indian agent Major James ("White Hair") McLaughlin set up Grass, Gall, and other Sioux as rival chiefs to Sitting Bull after the latter had surrendered in 1881, in an attempt to break Sitting Bull's influence over the Sioux.
Over Sitting Bull's objections, Grass signed an 1889 agreement that broke up the Great Sioux Reservation.
He probably was bowing to threats by Indian agent McLaughlin that the U.S. government would take the land with or without Sioux consent.
Even after the land was signed over, the government reduced the food allotments on Northern Plains reservations, intensifying poverty and suffering; this action increased tensions just before the massacre of Big Foot's people at Wounded Knee.
For more than three decades, Grass served as head judge in the Court of Indian Offenses of the Standing Rock Reservation.
He died at Standing Rock in 1918

𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥, 1905, wearing a raptor headdress. The Crow tribe of eastern Montana called themselves the Apsaalooke (Absaroka), said to mean children of the large-beaked bird. Before battles, Long Otter painted the back of his head red, his face yellow, and his body blue to attract the strongest challengers. His stunning leather shirt had intricate bead work and numerous danglers. Such finery would have been worn only for special occasions. Click photo to better see details.
The photo was featured on the cover of “Crow Indian Photographer: The Work of Richard Throssel.” Throssel was adopted into the Crow Nation in 1906 and lived on the reservation for some years.

LONG HAIR
Traditionally, long hair was always a symbol of masculinity. All of history's great warriors had long hair, from the Greeks (who wrote odes to their heroes' hair) to the Nordic, from the American Indians (famous for their long shiny hair) to the Japanese. And the longer and beautiful the hair was, the more manly the warrior was considered. Vikings flaunted their braids and samurai wore their long hair as a symbol of their honor (they cut their braid when they lose honor).
When a warrior was captured, his mane was cut to humiliate him, to take away his beauty. That custom resumed in what is today military service. There when new soldiers begin their training the first thing they do is cut their hair to undermine their self-esteem, make them submissive and make them see who's boss.
The Romans were the ones who "invented" short hair so to speak, between the 1st and 5th centuries AD.. In battles they believed this gave them defensive advantages, since their opponents couldn't grab them by the hair. This also helped them to recognize each other in the battlefield.
Short hair on men is a relatively new "invention" that has nothing to do with aesthetics.
But today we often see men being humiliated, sometimes called "gay" for wearing long hair, not knowing that short hair is actually the "anti-masculine" and is a repressive social imposition, while long hair symbolizes freedom
