Bout damn time. His ass was scheming behind Westwin Resistance to get in the good graces of Westwin Element's CEO Kaleigh Long before we prevented them from moving forward with their full scale refinery, instead opting for Georgia. #kiowa #indigenouspolitics #WestwinResistance #oklahoma #lawton #lawtonOK #lawtonfortsill

Polynesians kept time by the moon; each lunar month had a particular name and meaning corresponding to the season in which it fell, but there was no real concept of years until Europeans came along.
The Kiowa appear to have been the opposite. They kept pictorial records of history, with standard symbols to indicate summer and winter, and a picture to represent the most significant event of the season: https://kiowacalendars.org/calendars

"Jacobson House, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is best known for being the hub for the Kiowa Six, a group of young Kiowa men who shaped Oklahoma Native art into what it is today. While historically important the house also stands as a continuing beacon in which modern Native art and artists thrive."

#Sundance2025 Lineup Highlights Powerful #Indigenous Stories, Including '#FreeLeonardPeltier’ and ‘#ElNorte'
By Kaili Berg, December 17, 2024
"The Sundance Institute recently unveiled the lineup for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, which will showcase 87 feature films and six episodic projects that promise daring storytelling and global perspectives.
"Among the films in this year’s lineup are powerful portrayals of Indigenous experiences, including El Norte and Free Leonard Peltier.
"Sundance Institute Senior Programmer Heidi Zwicker told Native News Online that the selection of films underscores diverse narratives in Native films.
"'The films that we have this year indicate how much you can’t define what an Indigenous film should be like,' Zwicker said. 'There’s such multiplicity in the stories and worlds these filmmakers present, even within a single community.'
"The Festival will take place from January 23 to February 2, 2025, with screenings in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as a curated online program accessible to audiences nationwide from January 30 to February 2.
"Free Leonard Peltier, co-directed by #JesseShortBull (#Oglala #Lakota) and #DavidFrance, is a documentary that dives into the life and legacy of Leonard Peltier, a leader of the #AmericanIndianMovement who has been imprisoned for 50 years following a controversial conviction.
"Zwicker described the film as 'rich, well-researched, and deeply emotional,' emphasizing its timeliness as Peltier’s case gains renewed attention in the fight for clemency.
"#GregoryNava’s El Norte follows Indigneous siblings Rosa and Enrique as they flee #Guatemala after their family is murdered in a government-led massacre during the #GuatemalanCivilWar. Their journey to the U.S. becomes a struggle for survival amid the realities of #immigrant life.
"Profits from ticket sales directly support Sundance Institute’s year-round initiatives, including labs, residencies, fellowships, and educational programs through Sundance Collab. These programs empower thousands of artists annually.
"Sundance’s Indigenous Program, led by #AdamPiron (#Kiowa / #Mohawk), is a vital part of this mission, providing ongoing support to #NativeFilmmakers."

Similarly, if you look at traditional #Cherokee and #Kiowa timekeeping, months and years are tracked entirely seperately. The cycles of the seasons are used for describing the grand stretch of history, while the turns of the moon are for smaller-scale, more personal reminiscences.
Thus, while the Assyrians did add intercalary months to keep the cycle of the moon approximately synchronised with that of the sun, they might have dated the start of the year directly from the equinox.

Sad news, but a life well lived.
I've been a fan of Momaday after reading "The Way to Rainy Mountain." I'm going to have to read it again in his honor.
Also --- I did not know that his mother was part #Cherokee.

The #AmericanBuffalo
A New Documentary from #KenBurns Now Streaming"The American #Buffalo, a new two-part, four-hour series, takes viewers on a journey through more than 10,000 years of North American history and across some of the continent’s most iconic landscapes, tracing the animal’s evolution, its significance to the #IndigenousPeople and landscape of the #GreatPlains, its near extinction, and the efforts to bring the magnificent mammals back from the brink.
"For thousands of generations, buffalo (species #bison bison) have evolved alongside #IndigenousPeople who relied on them for food and shelter, and, in exchange for killing them, revered the animal. The stories of Native people anchor the series, including the #Kiowa, #Comanche, and #Cheyenne of the Southern Plains; the #Lakota, #Salish, #Kootenai, #Mandan-#Hidatsa, and #Blackfeet from the Northern Plains; and others."
