Here are a couple. I'm sure there are more.\n\nFr. Paul Ojibway: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1141/is_n12_v31/ai_16518775\n\nBishop Donald Pelotte of the Diocese of Gallup, the first Native American bishop: http://www.dioceseofgallup.org/bishop/\n\nWith love in Christ.

Hm mm your first mistake was in going to a governmental agency.  go to an attorney who handles job related suits.  \n\nIt goes even further than you have found.  My mother and father were both half Native American.  My grandmother's  older brother grew up on a reservation.  I can remember my uncle trying to teach me to speak some native language.  BUT in the US I am not recognized as Native American because I don't have  Blood Degree.  \n\nHammy  ... I thought native Americans were a race  not a political affiliation?\n\nIf I put down Native American it is discounted because I can't produce a Blood Degree.  BUT if I put down that I am Afro-American no one will question it.  \n\nAt any rate go see the proper attorney.  it may take you a while to find the right kind of attorney.  Very few specialize in the filed you need.  And you have to have proof that they did the same thing  PROOF.  it i snot an attorney's job to find proof.  it is yours.\n\nGood luck!

The Native American Tribe you are refering to is the Osage Indian Tribe.\n\n"the Ingalls family encounters a French-speaking Osage chief, Soldat du Chene. The Indian tribes who lived in the territory the Ingalls and other white settlers were occupying had decided to make war on the settlers. Soldat du Chene and his tribe came to plead with the other tribes not to kill the white people. He told the tribes that if they began to massacre the settlers, he and his strong Osage would fight them. This persuaded the other tribes to go away peacefully. Soldat du Chene thus saved the Ingalls family's lives."

Who lives like they used to?  How many grandmothers still go to a creek to fetch the day's water here in America?\n\nSome Native Americans live on reservations and many don't; others have chosen varying degrees of assimilation. \n\nIt's unlikely that any entire group speaks with one voice,  except that they may be unified in wanting non-indigenous people to leave the Americas.  Then perhaps the first of them that arrived across the land bridge will want the second group that arrived that way to leave, too.\n\nProbably there is enough reservation land to accommodate those who would like to live like they used to; they could choose environmental policies to foster herds of bison, and streams full of fish and assume the ways of their ancestors.\n\nI am 1/8 Indian, my children are 1/4.  We only found out after the deaths of our parents on both sides. Obviously, assimilation took place many years ago, and while we might like to experience some of what our ancestors did to live, it would not be forever.

Are you talking about people from India or Native Americans

Not in Bible. I thought the Catholics stopped that practice on the 60's? Maybe some still do? They are not consistent from place to place-but who else is.

Here's another list. This one is on wiki, and is pretty easy to use.  Each link takes you to more detailed information for each reservation including what tribe(s) inhabits the reservation.  I think it includes all of the Indian Reservations in the US and there are links to some info on Canadian Indian 'Reserves'. It also comes with a high-res map from the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_reservations_in_the_United_States\n\n(1/16th Native American. Haven't determined which nation, yet. Still working through family history for that.)

There is quite an elaborate and wonderful story that mormons relate about the native americans.  I don't know if they are right, but it sure is interesting and probably one of the kinder forms of christianity that I've seen.  You should read some of their stuff, it's not bad!\n\nbtw:  if they are right... I will be in the terrestial kingdom (third level heaven) with all my friends... picture bourbon street!\n\nNot a bad option!

Here is what I was able to find out about the Karankawa -\nwho were an Indian tribe in Texas.\nhttp://www.texas-our-texas.com/Cultgrps2.html\n\nThe person you might be thinking of is Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, one of the early Spanish explorers. Apparently he had Moorish roots, so he would have had dark skin, and he was held as a slave by the native Americans.\n\nHere is some info:\nBorn around 1490 in a tiny Andalusian town called Jérez de la Frontera to Francisco de Vera and Teresa Cabeza de Vaca, Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca is remembered as being the first European to see and explore the southwestern United States. Cabeza de Vaca’s name, which means "head of a cow," comes from his mother’s side of the family. In 1212, during the Spanish reconquest, one of Teresa’s ancestors, Martín Alhajahad, marked an unguarded mountain pass with a cow skull. The Spanish Christians attacked the Moors and won the battle "Las Navas de Tolosa." King Sancho of Navarre honored Alhajahad and his descendents with the name "Cabeza de Vaca." Although Alvar could have chosen to use his father’s surname, he preferred his mother’s surname and used it throughout his life.\nCabeza de Vaca spent his youth in Jérez and later joined the military where he was sent to Italy to fight in the battle of Ravenna in 1512. Although the battle was won by the French, Cabeza de Vaca was still promoted to the rank of alferez (ensign) for bravery. In 1513 he served as an aide to the Duke of Medina, Sidonia. He then fought in behalf of King Charles I (Emperor Charles V) during the Comuneros revolt. His loyalty obviously captured the king’s attention, for at age forty, Cabeza de Vaca received the appointment that would not only change his life but also the future of the New World. In 1527, Cabeza de Vaca was appointed as treasurer of a royal expedition to Florida led by Pánfilo de Narváez. As treasurer, Cabeza de Vaca was second in command.

Native Americans make up about 1% of the U.S. population.  This includes Alaskan Inuits (Eskimos).

Read the Book of Mormon. It's not only another testament of Jesus Christ it also contains a history of the Native Americans. -An outstanding book!

Louis Sockalexis, a Penobscot Indian, was believed to be the first Native American in the major leagues, signed in 1897 by the Cleveland Spiders, later the Cleveland Indians.\nJim Thorpe was also a native american and played in the MLB for 6 years.\n\n\nThis is the only thing that I could find:   Dr. Jeffrey Powers-Beck's, The American Indian Integration of Baseball, detailing the entrance of Native Americans in Major League Baseball
