Welcome City
Campbell California
Before going any
further I need to point out a few important thing so please bear with me?
While looking for
your information you came to only two
sites looking for the answer.
Native American Name
Giving Ceremony?
You are in the
California side of Indian country, any more west and you go for a swim in the
Pacific Ocean.
you came to one of
our sites in the eastern part of Indian country, any more east and you swim in
the Atlantic Ocean.
The next and last
site I am not sure about?
An Educational
Resource Site for Teachers and Homeschoolers
My point and thank
you so much for the chance to once again teach about our people.
Traditional tribes
in your area have their culture and ceremonies and this is good.
Traditional tribes
in our area also have our culture and ceremonies that we also believe to be
good, how be it might be a little different?
Traditional tribes
written about in that 2nd site also have their culture and ceremonies and one
would guess that they would explain to children a lot different?
All teachers should
teach to children in ways that the child could understand and elders in a
native tribe are no different.
We all would use our
words, then the words children understand because this is the reason to teach?
The 2nd site you
looked into might be written by non-natives for schooling?
No matter the good
intention this site leads you away from a traditional culture and ceremony.
Traditional Elder
Teachers have a problem with this because it opens the door to bad information
about both the tribe and the children, all three tribes, actually four tribes
because it writes about two and one is misspelled, three would be tribes in your
area and four would be out people.
You see, we do not
have Ritual Song, tents, priest, ritualistic phrases or anything else
non-native?
