    Never forget where you como from

    Many of us remember the touching television advertisemont where the actor Iron Eyes Cody sheds a tear over litter.Such Native images are often used to convey the idea of saving mother earth.People who accept this image fmd it difficult to bring together what they have seen of some reservations- shabby homes, broken cars, underfed dogs, weeds in winds, and coal strip mines.Those who most romanticize American Indians are the quickest to be disappointed and discover that things axe not as good as they have once believed.However, Indians' relationship with the land is much more complicated (复杂的) than those two black and white images which appeared in the telivision.

    Historically, tribal (部落的) people around the globe have had close ties with the earth.Lakota historian Vine Deloria, Jr., tells the story of the Ponca people who were taken from their range ver a century ago and transported against their will to Oklahoma.Otherwise healthy, many Ponca wasted and died from no other clear cause than separation from their home.As Cheryl Crazy Bull says in this isst "The land is our relative.Without land, tribal people lose their identity- the land along with langoat spiritual beliefs, and social systems distinguishes tribal people from others."

    To many people in the United States, the Indian reservation is an embarrassment.It represents American version of racial seperation--a prison without walls where the government confined Indians keep them apart fi'om other Americans.To Indian people the reservation is homo, regardless of wha looks like.They have spiritual, emotional, and family ties.Many of their relatives still live there or buried there, and their creation stories are centered there.

    Americans tend to pull up roots and separate from their birthplace, moving from city to city m times.Many of us non-Indians have never visited the places where our ancestors are buried or the hot where our parents were bom.Western nations use Earth in the same way, as if we can go to anol planet when the air and water becomo too dirty.On the other hand, tribes are very familiar with concept of limited resources.They cannot get another reservation if theirs becomes too polluted.
