a general principle an Indian is a person who is of some degree Indian blood and is recognized as an Indian by a tribe/village and/or the United States. There exists no universally accepted rule for establishing a person's identity as an Indian. The criteria for tribal membership differs from one tribe to the next. To determine a particular tribe's criteria, one must contact that tribe directly. For its own purposes, the Bureau of the Census counts anyone an Indian who declares to be such.

The Central Asia Dog in fact is not very common in Italy, while the Caucasian Mountain Dog is present with a very remarkable number of subjects (only in 1998 more than 600 have been registered to the genealogical registers). Both the breeds anyway are very ancient and have the undeniable advantage that they have not been manipulated too much by man. They are fascinating and mysterious breeds that hide in their eyes a millennial history.

They have much in common: sacred circles, the honouring of the directions, a deep reverence for the natural world, a belief in animal guides, and an abiding sense that the land itself is sacred. There is even evidence that the Druids worked in sweat-lodges and we know that birds' feathers were used in ceremonial clothing and headdress.

With the exception of the Indian Health Service, ATSDR spends a greater percentage of its budgeted funding on the health of American Indian/Alaska Natives than any other federal agency. In FY 2002, ATSDR's support to tribes allowed the development of needs assessments for seven tribes impacted by release of radiation at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, development of environmental public health curricula at four tribal colleges, and support for the Alaska Traditional Diet Project (ATDP).

Artifacts have the potential to tell many things about the way people lived in the past. By carefully examining their shape, evidence is collected on their manufacture, age, and uses. Archeologists can also conduct replicative experiments to gain a better understanding of how tools were made and used, or how shelters were built. Physical and chemical tests provide detailed information on the age of organic materials, and the types of residues left on tools.

Artifacts from public land are the property of the state or federal government and cannot be collected or excavated without a valid permit. Artifacts from private land are the property of the landowner. Collecting or excavating at these is trespassing and/or vandalism without the express permission of the owner. The only exception is human burials. These are protected by law in the entire state. No one may knowingly disturb a grave or excavate it without a permit.

The term common area is generally used to describe all elements within the community that are owned and maintained by the association, and dedicated to shared use and enjoyment of all owners

Most Native American tribes have traditions about health and illness. These traditions are not based on western science. Instead, they come from the tribe's beliefs about how individuals fit in the web of life. This web includes the tribe, all humanity, the earth, and the universe. Many healing traditions focus on harmony. Healing occurs when someone is restored to harmony and connected to universal powers. Traditional healing is "holistic". It does not focus on symptoms or diseases.

you look at the people you encounter day to day, you are sure to be impressed by the tremendous diversity in the shapes of faces and bodies you see. Families tend to share a range of physical characteristics, and differ from other families. Ethnic groups also tend to have distinctive physical characteristics because they are more closely related to each other and share more genes than do persons comprising other ethnic groups.

Go to one of our language pages, scroll down to the "Dictionaries and Glossaries" section, open one of the dictionaries, and look up the word "dog" (or cat, or horse, or snake, depending on the species of your pet). If you don't like it or can't pronounce it, try another language. Repeat as necessary. Be aware, housecats are not native to the Americas, so most Indian words for them are borrowed from European languages. If you have a cat, maybe you should try a Middle Eastern language instead.

That depends on what you mean by a "Native American name." If you want a medicine name for your child, you will have to arrange a naming ceremony with an elder from your family's tribe. No one can do this for you over the Internet, and anybody who claims they can is taking advantage of you.

For Native American ancestry, we use the Maternal Roots and Paternal Roots tests depending on if you want to look at your direct maternal lineage or direct paternal lineage.
