The People

Stateline 1007

Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and he belives the power of the world always works in circles.  In the old days, Indian people's power came from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people flourished.  Colonization and conquest broke the hoop.

Nearly every Indian tribe traditionally refers to itself as "The People" or "The Humans."  This month, Stateline explores efforts in Oklahoma to preserve languages and culture--the identity of The People.
