What is a Native
American Clan?
The word Clan is
relatively new in Indian country it, like so many things came along with first
contact, now everyone, including me, uses the word for ease of understanding.
Remember, up until the
end of the 1980's native people were a very small group and lived in villages
as tribes.
After this government
added some laws ( for a change trying to do good for our people) that made it a
little easier to get some of our land back, of course, like so many times in
the past, non natives found ways to corrupt the system.
Now instead of a hand
full of traditional people each tribe including ones that have long passed into
extinction, have thousands of people per tribe.
Now to your question
(Clans)!
As I have explained in
a past posting
Native American Occult.(06/30/2011
The word Clan came
along for a ride after this first contact.
First contact?
The first time the red
man was invaded by non native people.
Each country that came
to our shores carries with them many things, one of those was their culture,
Clans!
Each country was in one
way or another divided up into clans.
So now with so many
Native American and wannabee native Americans in a tribe this tribe became
divided into many clans, or families and groups of people.
Some, like the few
Traditional Native American tribes,(families or clans) is a good thing.
Some, like the Occult
tribes, or people only looking for a casino, not so good for the Traditional
tribes ( families, clans, culture and ceremonies).
