Giant Indian Mound under construction at the American Indian Cultural Center & Museum

Much of the planned museum and cultural center remains under heavy construction, but August 26, 2008 officials were ready to celebrate their first milestone with the dedication of the monolithic earthen mound.

The towering mound, which was inspired by ancient earthworks constructed across Oklahoma and in eastern North America, was built using 1.7 billion pounds of red earth brought to the site by 42,000 dump truck loads.

Standing before the "big earthwork” Tuesday, Gena Timberman, executive director of the Native American Cultural and Educational Authority, said the question a lot of people were probably asking was, "Why build it?”

"From all across this continent, cultures indigenous to this land have experienced a continuous uprooting and dislocating of our people. We refer to these as ‘times of moving fires,'” Timberman said. "Well, if you look around and you see the construction and what's happening around the state, you see that the fires still burn. The progressive act of building something this challenging in today's world ... is proof that our cultures do endure.”]]>

The Keeper of the Plains is a 44-foot Cor-Ten steel sculpture by Kiowa-Comanche artist Blackbear Bosin. It sits at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers in Wichita, Kansas. The sculpture, commissioned by the city and private organizations to mark the United States Bicentennial, was erected in 1974. It has since become one of Wichita's most recognized and beloved symbols.

A Spring/Summer 2006 project elevated the sculpture on a 30-foot rock promontory so it could be seen from farther away (see photo at right). Surrounding the base of the statue are multiple displays which describe the local tribes that used to inhabit this area, as well as several fire pits which sometimes light up to illuminate the statue at night.

"The Keeper of the Plains" was mentioned by Christian musician Rich Mullins in his 1991 song "Calling Out Your Name" (from the album "The World as Best as I Remember It, Volume One")

A profile image of this statue comprises the motif adopted by the 22nd Air Refueling Wing, a U.S. Air Force flying unit which is based at nearby McConnell Air Force Base. From 1993 through 2004, an image of the statue, along with the words "Keeper of the Plains," appeared on the tails of Boeing KC-135 air refueling tankers assigned to the 22nd ARW.]]>

These are the bluffs where Geronimo as the story says, while on horseback jumped off while being pursued by soldiers. He is said to yell out his name "Geronimoooooo" in defiance as he made the jump down the bluffs. This is the reason why US paratroopers yell out the same when jumping out of airplanes. A tradition that has been around for a long time. Along with this story it is also said that an hawk or eagle was the only thing seen when the soldiers approached the edge looking for Geronimo.]]>

Ulm Pishkun State Park (Prehistoric Bison Kill Site)
[Info] [GM] [LM] [YM]
By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2006-04-12 00:39:33
From visitmt.com:

The word ‘Ulm' is German; ‘Pishkun' is from the Blackfoot meaning ‘deep blood kettle'. This archaeological site is possibly the largest bison cliff jump in North America. Native peoples used this site for at least two thousand years prior to Lewis and Clark's expedition through Montana. The kill site consists of a mile long sandstone cliff; there are remnants of drive lines on top of the cliff and the remains of millions of ‘processed' bison below. The park has an interpretive trail, shelters, picnic tables, fireplaces, and a protected black tailed prairie dog town to help the visitor better understand the epic history of hunting on the high plains.

In an effort to pay homage to the buffalo and the people who honor this mighty animal, Ulm Pishkun State Park has a new on-site education center. Of more than 300 bison kill sites in Montana, Ulm Pishkun will be the first of its kind. The 6,000 square foot center offers visitors buffalo culture exhibits, a storytelling circle, classroom, gallery and bookstore. A pow wow area and demonstration site are featured outdoors.]]>

The Fair Lawn/Paterson fish weir spans the Passaic River approximately 180 meters (200 yards) north of the Fair Lawn Avenue bridge, straddling the Borough of Fair Lawn (in Bergen County) and the City of Paterson (in Passaic County), in New Jersey. It consists of a "V"-shaped wall of river cobbles and boulders, with its point oriented downstream. The structure spans the entire width of the Passaic River, which at that point is approximately 80 meters (260 feet) wide. Fish weirs (traps), many built by native Americans prior to European settlement, once abounded on the Passaic River and elsewhere in the northeast U.S.]]>

Site of the second Fort Abraham Lincoln. Many buildings built between 1900 and 1910. During World War II this was an internment camp for German and Japanese aliens.

It is a nonprofit corporation chartered by the State of North Dakota and operated by the five tribes wholly or in part in North Dakota. Those tribes are the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Nation, the Spirit Lake Tribe, the Sisseton Wahpeton Sioux Tribe, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. The college is home to the annual United Tribes International Powwow (www.unitedtribespowwow.com.)]]>
