Reflections
on Native Realities: Who Stole the Tee Pee http://www.nmai.si.edu/exhibitions/who_stole_the_teepee/indexfla.htm
"Who stole the tee pee?" is a question posed by artist
George Littlechild. It's another way of asking, "What happened
to our traditions?" Missionaries, soldiers, teachers, government
officials, and social reformers took away much of what our ancestors
had. Did they steal the tee pee? Or did they create a situation
in which some of our relatives were more than willing to give it
up? |
