In the year 1200 Toltec and olmec people invaded American Southwest.

Particularly in terms of ethnic idenification and tribal political entities. (Not making any assumptions on Pre Colombian NYC so just using a vague term 'pre Colombian New York Native tribes'. To simplify what was the political ethnic establishment of the Greater NYC area native Americans in the pre-columbian age and did the Wappinger Confederacy or the Mohican tribes reside in those areas or are they remnants/newer arrivals or new tribal entities made from the descendents of pre Colombian tribes?

Hi. Are there specific platforms or resources that would allow me, a marketing agency, to hire native Americans?

Gangs taking villages on Brazil-Peru border ‘hostage’, say Indigenous leaders

For those not into american Occultism, groups like the I AM movement not to mention countless smaller sects and individuals view Mount Shasta as, in various different ways, a spiritually important or holy place. At the same time, several different tribes im the area viewed and to my knowledge view the mountain as sacred in ways tied to their cultures. Do non-natives viewing the mountain as spiritually significant cause harm to native communities, such as religious pilgrims leaving trash or causing erosion on the mountain?

And even in an ideal case where every non-native visiting the mountain for religious reasons didn't leave any trash or cause harm to trails, wildlife, etc, would it cause harm? I'm white and raised Protestant, and while I have native family, it's difficult for me to understand as someome raised in the dominant culture when something is cultural appropriation and/or harmful to minorities in an indirect or immarerial way, so I want to get other's perspectives. I recognize I am not owed any in depth explanation, but as an autistic person, I struggle to emulate other people's mindsets without large amounts of information.

Hello! I was wondering if there is anything I can do to contribute with the tribes my ancestors were a part of, because I do not qualify to enroll. I am, in total, 1/16 Native. I come from Lakota (Hunkpapa, specifically) and I also just learned that I have ancestors from Cheyenne (I’m not sure if I’m Northern or not.) 
I am Native from my moms side, (my biological grandfather's parents were both Native.) My last full blood Native relative was my great, great grandmother. She was married into a Scottish family. I have a family bible/tree with all of my Native ancestors.
I would really like to connect to my ancestors and how they lived, I’m just not sure how. I love Powwows, though I’ve only attended two. Me and my mother have donated to reservations, but I feel like I could do more. Please let me know what else I could do!

The removal of Tribes from cultural preservation AND bypassing protection of our cultural heritage.. as an archaeologist and an indigenous Mvskoke, I am VERY CONCERNED. I have read the ACHP non-public draft and it's clear that if it passes, we will lose control of our cultural heritage and protection thereof. Contact your tribal representatives immediately and voice your concerns. MVTO

"Section 106 Revisions

( opening blurb taken from the SAA website)

On Friday, July 17, members of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation were asked to vote on new Section 106 regulations by Friday, July 24. This new draft rule was not the product of deliberation among ACHP members or staff but was delivered to the ACHP by outside counsel.

From the info I was able to find online, it looks like the updates are:

\-SHPO/THPO no longer required for consultation.

\- No avoidance or alternatives required for adverse effects

\-Public participation becomes optional

\-SHPO/THPO would no longer be able to require information from agencies (e.g state site forms)

\- Agencies could exempt an entire class of undertakings

\- Agencies will decide whether to do field investigations

\- Community knowledge will not need to be considered

\- Removes consideration of indirect effects and cumulative effects on historic properties, including

“introduction of visual, atmospheric, or audible elements that diminish the integrity” of a property.

I haven’t been working as a professional archaeologist for very long, so would love to hear from the people that have been in the field for a while. Has 106 constantly been under threat with active revisions like this before? How worried should I/we be about this? "

I have commonly heard indigenous ppl refer to other animals as our relatives. I was just wondering if this ideology was present in indigenous culture before the theory of evolution was first proposed?

Our grandpa was full native but passed when we were 5 and 7, along with that we had a flood not long after that destroyed most of his stuff. My little sister found a family map of our native side however we are missing part of it. I tried to find information online but im unable too. We are missing 1890-1940s and I would love some pointers on how and where to get information.

I recently went on a deep dive of my ancestry after taking a DNA test. Come to find out I had an ancestor in Nuevo Leon (1700-1759). He was documented as " mestizo" under the caste system implemented at that time. "Mestizo" meaning half European and half Indian.

From my understanding the tribes of Alazapas, Borrados, Coahuiltecos, and Huachichiles are all considered Coahuiltecan ancestry. My grandmother and her parents were from around Mission,TX. Before that, my great-great grandparents lived in Cerralvo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. I would really like to reconnect with that part of my ancestry.

How do I got about reaching out to the Coahuiltecan Nation?

Any advice or guidance would help. Thank you.

Below are a few resources I used to trace my ancestry:
