TO ALL READERS OF THIS FORUM: BE ADVISED THAT THE SELF PROCLAIMED "COX OSCEOLA INDIAN RESERVATION" IS NOT A NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBE, NATION OR COMMUNITY. The "Cox Osceola Indian Reservation" has at different times tried to submit application for federal recognition as the Band of Southeast Cherokee Confederacy -1980, the Crow-Cherokee Tribe 1980-1988, the Oklawaha Band of Seminole Indians 1988-1995, and last but not least, the Yamassee Seminole Tribe 1995-present. Each of these applications has met with the same response. NO WAY! Cox_Osceola.doc My response to the Cox commune's advertisement of their "Pow Wow". (word 5.1 doc) Cox_Peyote_Scam.doc What can happen when these fraudulent groups go unchecked. (word 5.1 doc) FYI: THE SEVEN CRITERIA FOR FEDERAL RECOGNITION 1) Evidentiary proof that the entity has existed from 1783 to the present on a continuous basis as an American Indian political, social, and cultural entity-a petitioner shall not fail to satisfy this criteria due to fluctuations in tribe/nation activity directly related or due to a causality of war or termination policies. 2) Evidence that a substantial portion of the petitioning group lives in a specific area or community viewed as, and distinct as American Indian from other populations and its members are descendants of an American Indian tribe that historically inhabited that area.

Free Web site hosting - Freeservers.com Issue 1 Welcome to the first issue of Spirit Path! I have decided to begin at the beginning. Sounds simple, yet it is really quite difficult! I am going to endeavor to explain American Indian Spirituality basics in order to provide you all with the foundation of everything that is to come. There are hundreds of different American Indian cultures. Some are government-recognized Tribes, some are not. Each and every different group has it's own spiritual beliefs. Their origin beliefs are different, their ceremonies and rituals are different... it is like all the religions in the world! There is a difference between how the Catholics worship the Creator and how the Baptists worship, or the Buddhists, and yet they are all worshiping the same Creator. No difference here. However, there are some fundamental similarities that are universal to virtually all American Indian cultures. These similarities are what I am going to do my best to outline here. Indigenous people were here in North America for thousands of years before Lief Erikson or Columbus happened upon them. They had evolved into different cultures, and yet they all had a basic belief in a single Creator. The single biggest difference between their beliefs and the beliefs of the European invaders was that American Indian cultures have no concept of the idea of an organized 'religion'.

http://members.aol.com/porchthree/nativeam.htm - Native Americans Interfaith Religion and Beliefs for an Internet Generation PORCH NUS The E-Zine of The Front Porch Religions of the World Native American Spirituality Native American Spirituality might be defined as the indigenous religious traditions of the many peoples who inhabited the Americas prior to contact with Europeans from 1492 onward. The customs, rituals and iconography varied tremendously throughout the Americas. Attempting to compare them with the formalized written traditions of Asia, Europe and the Middle East is an exercise in futility. Native American Spirituality was (and is, for those still practicing it) part and parcel of living. It involved a relationship with the natural world as opposed to a weekly or daily schedule of worship services. With few exceptions there was no priesthood or system of temples. Above all, there was no written record and, but for a very few cases, no inscriptions or monuments. Foreword to Soul of the Indian © 1911 by Charles Alexander Eastman Full Electronic Text at University of Virginia "WE also have a religion which was given to our forefathers, and has been handed down to us their children. It teaches us to be thankful, to be united, and to love one another! We never quarrel about religion."

Their respect for the wisdom of their elders, their concept of family responsibilities extending beyond the nuclear family to embrace a whole village, their respect for the environment, their willingness to share - all of these values persist within their own culture even though they have been under unremitting pressure to abandon them. " Mr. Justice Thomas Berger, Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, (aka the Berger Inquiry). " Rather than going to church, I attend a sweat lodge; rather than accepting bread and toast [sic] from the Holy Priest, I smoke a ceremonial pipe to come into Communion with the Great Spirit; and rather than kneeling with my hands placed together in prayer, I let sweetgrass be feathered over my entire being for spiritual cleansing and allow the smoke to carry my prayers into the heavens. I am a Mi'kmaq, and this is how we pray. " Noah Augustine, from his article "

In testimony before the world conference, Indian rights advocate Lenny Foster said that not only does racism exist, it is actually endorsed by state and federal governments, especially in the American prison systems. Foster is Dineh, and founded the Navajo Prison Project in an attempt to ensure religious rights of Indian prisoner in the United States. “ A paramount Native American human rights problem in the United States...is religious intolerance, the denial of the right to practice Native American tribal religion,” Foster testified in Geneva on May 4. He was part of a delegation from the International Indian Treaty Council consisting of Alberto Saldamando, general counsel for the IITC, former director of California Rural legal Assistance and a member of the Mission Band of California Indians; Esteban Castro, of the Kuna people of Panama; Mario Ibarra, a Mapuche from Chile, and Don Barnes, a Upit from Alaska.

After European Contact With the coming of Europeans to North America, Native Americans experienced a series of dislocations from which they are still struggling to recover. Foreign invaders overran their territories and claimed sovereignty over their communities, diseases ravaged their populations, and their environments were drastically altered. In many cases, Native Americans were forcibly removed from their aboriginal homelands and livelihoods, with the result that indigenous cultures underwent rapid change. In the midst of these crises, as Native Americans turned to their own religious traditions to understand and ease their plight, missionaries attempted to convert them from their traditional religions to Christianity.
