There are more than 7000 languages currently spoken in the world but many aren't recorded and don't have a written form. Unesco warns that by the end of this century, more than half of these are likely to disappear. One of those dying languages is Wichita - a native American tongue. Doris McLemore, 83, is the last fluent speaker of Wichita. Al-Jazeera's Rob Reynolds travelled to Taah-leqwah in Oklahoma to meet her. [14 May 2010]
Feb. 12, 2010 - Thank you everyone. The initial crisis is over! Electricity is back on in Eagle Butte and surrounding communities. I'd like to thank those who have helped spread the word, no one would have known without you! For "blsnet" who doesn't understand why this was declared a disaster area: This kind of situation has never-ever happened before on the reservation, even the elders were in shock. The power has gone out before, yes. However 2000 utility poles have never dropped like dominos, forcing 14000 modern residents to huddle for warmth around a gas stove for two weeks while polar winds whistled through the walls. Families and pets are still dealing with the after effects of carbon monoxide poisoning from the gas. And ice storms in particular "never" happen! Winter weather in this area is usually cold and dry, so dry that the snow blows and creates drifts, that's about it. Historically, Native Americans living on the plains were nomads, following the animal herds (their food source) they moved south for the winter. This area in the north was their summer stomping grounds, winter was never a problem until boundaries were set and reservations were established. Check your local libraries or wikipedia for more history. I know other communities across the states are also having a tough time, this winter has been hard on all Americans. I've even heard there was a blizzard in Texas! I just want to let everyone know how much we all have appreciated your help! As far as ...

Centuries of mistreatment at the hands of Washington have left most native Americans living on isolated reservations. According to the latest government figures, there are nearly three million native Americans living in the US. The vast majority live west of the Mississippi River. The Sioux nation in the state of South Dakota is America's fourth largest tribe. And now they're fighting to take back land which they say the US stole from them more than a century ago. Tom Ackerman has more from the Black Hills in the US state of South Dakota.

Sundancer; by Leonard Peltier together with Oliver Shanti Family & Friends. Lyrics by Leonard Peltier. Leonard Peltier also known as Tate Wikuwa is a human rights and ecological activist, member of the American Indian Movement. In a trial, which was called a disgrace for the American legal system by the former general attorney Ramsey Clark, he was falsely accused of murdering two FBI agents and sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment in 1976. Leonard Peltier is innocent! But the government wanted to brand him as a criminal and through him the Native American civil rights organisation AIM. Their 'crime'; to protest against the ongoing land-robbery and constant human rights violations committed by the US-government, the FBI and the mining-companies in the reservations of South-Dakota. At that time those companies tried by all means to lay their hands on the mineral resources (mainly uranium) of the Native American Territory. As a consequence of the uranium mining activities the drinking water was poisoned and the death rate among the Native Americans rose dramatically. Leonard Peltier, a Lakota-Ojibway native American, is a symbol for the justified struggle of his people and it's suffering. The vision of this man, unbroken to this day, is justice, a considerate relation towards Mother Earth and a peaceful co-existence of 'the white man and the red man' through a revival of Native American culture and traditions. This song carries his message into the world and hopefully help Leonard Peltier to finally obtain the right to spend the remainder of his life in freedom, instead of suffering the unspeakable injustice, he has endured until now up to the year 2041! Under US law he can be freed only by presendential pardon. Countless people have already stood up for his release, amongst them well known personalities as Mother Theresa, H.H. Dalai Lama, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Robert Redford, Harry Belafonte, Richard v. Weizsäcker, Rev. Jesse Jackson and many others. For more information on Leonard Peltier's case; www.freepeltier.org
