A VERY WORTHY READ!
Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: To be a good person.
Keanu Reeves’ father is of Native Hawaiian descent

Chef Joseph ( Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt )
1840 - 1904
Chef des Nez Percés
"Nos pères nous ont transmis de nombreuses lois, qu'ils avaient apprises eux-mêmes de leur pères. Elles disaient de traiter les hommes comme ils nous traitent, que nous ne devions jamais rompre un accord les premiers, que c'était une honte de dire des mensonges, que seule la vérité devait être dite." Chef Joseph ❤
La tribu des Nez Percés était une nation pacifique, qui s'étendait de l'Idaho au nord de l'État de Washington. Elle a maintenu de bonnes relations avec les blancs après l'expédition de Lewis et Clark. Joseph a passé la majeure partie de son enfance dans une mission tenue par les missionnaires Chrétiens.
En 1855, le père de Chef Joseph,
Old Joseph, signa un traité avec le gouvernement, qui autorisait son peuple à rester sur les terres de leurs ancêtres. En 1863, un autre traité réduisait la surface allouée, mais Old Joseph ignora volontairement ce traité.
Young Joseph Chef Joseph succéda à son père comme chef en 1873. Les Nez Percés vivaient en bonne entente avec les blancs avant 1877.
Chef Joseph, fut connu pour sa résistance face aux tentatives du gouvernement de forcer sa tribu des Nez Percés à se rendre dans les réserves. L'épreuve de force commença en 1877.
Cette entente fut compromise à la suite de la découverte d'or sur leur terrrain de chasse dans l'Oregon. Les blancs voulurent renégocier le traité de 1863 pour prendre davantage de terre aux Indiens et les confiner dans une réserve exigüe. Il s'en suivi une guerre entre blancs et Nez Percés. Obligés de quitter "Wallowa Valley" pour une réserve dans l'Idaho. Bien entendu les Indiens furent obligés de se rendre mais après une formidable leçon de courage pour qui connaît cette histoire : environ 800 d'entre eux fuirent devant l'avancée yankee et parcoururent près de 1700 km. A la fin de cette longue fuite, Chef Joseph fut contraint de signer avec le colonel Nelson Miles la réddition de son peuple, à seulement 30 miles (48km) de la

Russell Charles Means (November 10, 1939 – October 22, 2012) was an Oglala Lakota activist for the rights of Natives, libertarian political activist, actor, writer and musician, who became a prominent member of the American Indian Movement (AIM) after joining the organization in 1968 and helped organize notable events that attracted national and international media coverage.
Means was active in international issues of indigenous people, including working with groups in Central and South America and with the United Nations for recognition of their rights. He was active in politics at his native Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and at the state and national level.
Beginning an acting career in 1992, he appeared on numerous television series and in several films, including "The Last of the Mohicans" and released his own music CD. He published his autobiography "Where White Men Fear to Tread" in 1995.
In August 2011, Means was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. His doctors told him his condition was inoperable. He told the Associated Press that he was rejecting "mainstream medical treatments in favor of traditional Native remedies and alternative treatments away from his home on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation". In late September, Means reported that through tomotherapy, the tumor had diminished greatly. Later, he said that his tumor was "95% gone." On December 5 of that year, Means stated that he "beat cancer," that he had beat "the death penalty."
The following year, however, his health continued to decline and he died on October 22, 2012, less than a month before his 73rd birthday. A family statement said, "Our dad and husband now walks among our ancestors."

Canadian national clothing was formed under the influence of Native Indians (who lived on these lands for centuries) and colonizers from Europe (who came to Canada in 17-18th century). Also traditional garments in Canada correspond with the weather conditions and climate in this part of the world. That's why traditional Canadian pieces of clothing are: parkas, tuques, ojibwa shirts, mittens, ear muffs and so on.

Dakota - Little Brave & the Medicine Woman
A village of Natives moved out of winter camp and pitched their tents in a circle on high land overlooking a lake. A little way down the declivity was a grave. Chokecherries had grown up, hiding the grave from view. But as the ground had sunk somewhat, the grave was marked by a slight hollow.
One of the villagers going out to hunt took a shortcut through the chokecherry bushes. As he pushed them aside he saw the hollow grave but thought it was a washout made by the rain. But as he essayed to step over it, to his great surprise he stumbled and fell. Made curious by his mishap, he drew back and tried again, but again he fell. When he came back to the village he told the old men what had happened to him. They remembered then that a long time before there had been buried there was a medicine woman or conjurer. Doubtless, it was her medicine that made him stumble.
The story of the villager’s adventure spread through the camp and made many curious to see the grave. Among others were six little boys who were, however, rather timid, for they were in great awe of the dead medicine woman. But they had a little playmate named Brave, a mischievous little rogue, whose hair was always unkempt and tossed about and who was never quiet for a moment.
“Let us ask Brave to go with us,” they said; and they went in a body to see him.
“All right,” said Brave; “I will go with you. But I have something to do first. You go on around the hill that way, and I will hasten around this way, and meet you a little later near the grave.”
So the six little boys went on as bidden until they came to a place near the grave. There they halted.
“Where is Brave?” they asked.
Now Brave, full of mischief, had thought to play a jest on his little friends. As soon as they were well out of sight he had sped around the hill to the shore of the lake and sticking his hands in the mud rubbed it over his face, plastered it in his hair, and soiled his hands until he looked l

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐃𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 ❤.
Chief Dan George was actually a chief of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation in British Columbia, Canada from 1951 to 1963. Also an author and poet, George achieved his first acting job at the age of 60, appearing in the Canadian TV show, Caribou Country. But George’s acting career didn’t peak until 1970 when he starred in Little Big Man, a role for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Another great role for George was the part of Lone Watie in The Outlaw Josie Wales (1976), often considered one of the best American Westerns. And George’s performance in this American classic could be considered Oscar-worthy as well. George also appeared on TV shows such as Kung Fu. During George’s writing career, he was credited with fostering understanding between non-native and Native Americans, particularly with the release of his book, My Heart Soars .........

Spotted Elk, nicknamed Big Foot (Si Thanka), born about 1826 and died on December 29, 1890, is a Native American leader of the Sioux Lakota Miniconjous tribe.
Big Foot and his people live on the Cheyenne River Reserve, and were the most excited believers of the Ghost Dance ceremony. Famine and misery they found in their reserve, during their final defeat in 1889, led the Lakotas to find refuge in the Ghost Dance Messianic Renewal message. The movement rapidly swept through the entire camp, alerting local Indian agents. Several dancers were removed, others recalled by troops.
At the Standing Rock Reservation, where Sitting Bull was suspected of encouraging Ghost Dance to provoke an uprising, bloodshed broke out when Indian police killed Sitting Bull during his arrest. Many men from the late old chief's tribe then escape to Big Foot.
The latter decided to lead his people away from the violence he encountered in Standing Rock and fled south to Pine Ridge, hoping to find safety. Sick, Big Foot was out of war, and was carrying a white flag when military patrols captured them on December 28, 1890. That night Big Foot and his tribe camped out by Wounded Knee cove, surrounded by soldiers.
The next morning, soldiers set up machine guns around the camp and began confiscating weapons from the Indians. When gunfire accidentally started, soldiers opened fire, and within minutes, killed more than 370 Lakota. Then they chased the women and children, to kill them several miles away from the site of the first confrontation.

Jim Thorpe was amazing
If you’re a sports fan, chances are you’ve heard of Jim Thorpe. Thorpe was a member of the Sac and Fox nation and while you might know him for making Olympic history as the first Native American to win a gold medal (he actually won two, for the pentathlon and decathlon), you might be surprised to learn he also played professional football, baseball, and basketball. In college, he also played lacrosse and won a ballroom dancing championship. It’s no wonder many consider Jim Thorpe to be the greatest athlete of all time.
