Hey Natives,
We hope all of you had a wonderful weekend, and best of luck to your second week of classes!! Do you want to start your week off right?
Then come to AISES's first meeting of the year. Come enjoy lunch (on us!) at the center at 12PM on Monday while learning what AISES (American Indian Science & Engineering Society) is all about.
You do not have to be an Engineer to come to our meetings, and you do not have to be Native. So don't be afraid to bring some of your friends on over.
If you want to have fun, meet awesome people, enjoy free food, and meet people who can land you an outstanding internship with companies like Google, JPL, and NASA then AISES is right for you.
We hope to see you there,
Wyatt and Laci

Atached are three 'oli that Hui would like to perform at the Indigenous People's Day candlight vigil. If you're interested in learning them, and/or performing with us, come to the NACC THIS WEDNESSDAY AT 8 PM We'll be going over the words, their meanings, and basic 'oli protocol. All are welcome!

Also known as Columbus Day...the day that Natives have taken back! There will be chalking on the 11th, the Sunrise Ceremony at Alcatraz Island, and a Candlelight Vigil that evening at White Plaza.
40 Years of Movement History. 517 Years of Indigenous Resistance. Annual Sunrise Ceremony on Alcatraz Island. Meet at 3:30AM to carpool to San Francisco to ferry to the island. Return to campus around Everyone is invited to participate! Contact your SAIO co-chairs or Janet Bill (chalking) for more information. Also keep a look out for emails for more information :)
My name is Kayla and I am a programming assistant at the Native American Cultural Center located in the first floor of the Old Union Clubhouse. One recurrent program is a Bi-weekly Speaker Series. We invite students, professors, department staff and outside guests to present on given topics at lunchtime.
It is usually held every other week once the quarter gets rolling at noon. A small lunch is usually provided, though we also encourage people to bring their own lunches given budget cuts to programming.
In the past we've invited students to present honors theses, give traditional craft demonstrations, or share their experiences from a program that range from informal to formal. The goals are to build community (we learn more about each other!), increase awareness of the awesome programs that are out there, and increase Native American community participation in those programs. We may be a smaller community, but our voices can be heard in many areas of the Stanford Community!
Please email me back at kaylarae@stanford.edu if you are interested. Also, if you have a particular suggestion for the small lunch, let me know. For example, students who went abroad to Italy did Italian food and organized their own potluck that wasn't as small.

Part of the Native American Cultural Center's Bi-Weekly Speaker Series, Fridays at noon!
15 students spent 3 weeks in the Western Desert with the Martu Aboriginal people. Come hear about their experiences!
They couldn't bring back any witchetty grubs or goanna (lizard) meat for you, but we will serve damper (the Martu version of frybread and billy tea!!
He:yung Kile' - Hello All!
My name is Kayla and I am a programming assistant at the Native American Cultural Center located in the first floor of the Old Union Clubhouse. One recurrent program is a Bi-weekly Speaker Series. We invite students, professors, department staff and outside guests to present on given topics at lunchtime.
In the past we've invited students to present honors theses, give traditional craft demonstrations, or share their experiences from a program that range from informal to formal. The goals are to build community (we learn more about each other!), increase awareness of the awesome programs that are out there, and increase Native American community participation in those programs. We may be a smaller community, but our voices can be heard in many areas of the Stanford Community!
Please email me back at kaylarae@stanford.edu if you are interested. Also, if you have a particular suggestion for the small lunch, let me know. For example, students who went abroad to Italy did Italian food and organized their own potluck that wasn't as small.

He:yung, Kile' -- Hello All :) from Kayla Carpenter
As you may know, its that time of year again when the native community welcomes First Nations' Futures Program Fellows to campus. Each year our community organizes a welcome with traditional components of song, dance, chant and language for these scholars and representatives of native communities at Jasper Ridge.
This year's welcome is Sunday the 18th, at 5 pm. This is two weeks from now. Dinner is provided.
http://www.indiginous-fellowship.org/web/guest/home
With all that goes with this welcome, I am writing to guage interest in two things ---
1) If you are California Native, would you be interested in helping form a welcome on behalf of the tribal people's we represent?
California is a massive state, with over 100+ tribal peoples and languages! But there are many common cultural threads that bind us, including styles of songs and instruments to keep time/beat with. If you are interested in sharing a song, or helping to sing a song, or in saying a welcome in your language, please email me back at kaylarae@stanford.edu and we can organize :)
2) Are you interested in forming a Cali Native Student Group?
I don't know if you've noticed, but our numbers are rising... Hit me back if you are interested in forming a group!!! Even if its just to cook up a salmon once in a while :)

Inca Pottery Replication
Imperial Inca pottery was an important symbolic marker to elites and commoners across the Andes beginning in the 1400s. It was known for the standardized forms, the richness of the color palette, perfection in execution of design motifs, and thoroughness of its firing method. After the Spanish Conquest of the 1530s, production of this highly prized pottery style ceased. No one since has been able to copy the skill or technology developed by these clay experts. Join us at the Archaeology Center as we use clay imported from an Inca pottery production site of Choquepukio in Cuzco, Peru and Inca potsherds from that same site to retrace the steps of imperial artists of the ancient Andes.
Using fuels that were available during the Inca period, all pots will be fired in a bonfire at the Gym dig site on Friday, Nov. 6, 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. (weather permitting) and removed at 5:00 p.m. (or before dark).
Melissa Chatfield received her Ph.D in Anthropology from UC Santa Barbara in 2007 and is currently a Research Fellow in Ceramic Geoarchaeology at the Archaeology Center. She has conducted research on Inca pottery and other styles from the Cuzco region of Peru for the last 15 years. Her work at Stanford examines innovation in clay technology and the transmission of that knowledge in prehistoric societies. The current replication event is the second in a series of six to be hosted on campus by the Stanford President's Fund for Innovation in the Humanities and by the Archaeology Center."

Yo Natives!!!
There has been a lot of talk this year about rebuilding and getting the community sweat lodge active again. With sweat lodge being a huge part of my life, I feel it is my duty to get it going again.
So this Sunday at 1:00, if you're interested in learning more, helping, or even just want to visit the sweat lodge meet at Muwekma. But before you do that, shoot me an email so I can get a feel of how many people are going and who might want to participate in the ceremonies. This is legit so meet up.
There's a list of things to do and a list of things we'll need for future ceremonies. I would like a ceremony done before the end of the quarter. And if you have ride especially a truck let me know. We're basically going to be hauling wood, cleaning out the tarps from mice, and other grounds work.

Using fuels that were available during the Inca period, all pots will be fired in a bonfire at the Gym dig site on Friday, Nov. 6, 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. (weather permitting) and removed at 5:00 p.m. (or before dark).
Melissa Chatfield received her Ph.D in Anthropology from UC Santa Barbara in 2007 and is currently a Research Fellow in Ceramic Geoarchaeology at the Archaeology Center. She has conducted research on Inca pottery and other styles from the Cuzco region of Peru for the last 15 years. Her work at Stanford examines innovation in clay technology and the transmission of that knowledge in prehistoric societies. The current replication event is the second in a series of six to be hosted on campus by the Stanford President's Fund for Innovation in the Humanities and by the Archaeology Center."

Inca Pottery Replication
Imperial Inca pottery was an important symbolic marker to elites and commoners across the Andes beginning in the 1400s. It was known for the standardized forms, the richness of the color palette, perfection in execution of design motifs, and thoroughness of its firing method. After the Spanish Conquest of the 1530s, production of this highly prized pottery style ceased. No one since has been able to copy the skill or technology developed by these clay experts.

From "Indian Country Today" 10/16/09
White House officials chose Columbus Day to announce a first-of-its-kind conference to be held with leaders from all federally recognized tribes. President Barack Obama will host a White House Tribal Nations Conference November 5 from 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Leaders of all 564 federally recognized tribes will be invited, an announcement said, adding that they will be given the opportunity to interact directly with the president and other top administration officials. Each federally recognized tribe can send one representative.
Invitations to tribal leaders were sent via e-mail and fax from the Domestic Policy Council and the Office of Public Engagement starting Oct. 12, according to Shin Inouye, a White House spokesman.
“I look forward to hearing directly from the leaders in Indian country about what my administration can do to not only meet their needs, but help improve their lives and the lives of their peoples,” Obama said. ...Obama had promised during his campaign that he would hold yearly tribal conferences.
The invitations note that the historic meeting will not be held in the White House, but at the nearby Sidney R. Yates Auditorium of the Department of the Interior.
In an effort to allow more tribal leaders and members to view the historic event, the Department of Interior is working with MyTribeTV, an Indian-owned business in Seattle, Washington, to provide online coverage of the conference. ...all or part of the event will be streamed at tribalsummit.mytribetv.com.

Part of the Native American Cultural Center's Bi-Weekly Speaker Series, Fridays at noon!
My name is Kayla and I am a programming assistant at the Native American Cultural Center located in the first floor of the Old Union Clubhouse. One recurrent program is a Bi-weekly Speaker Series. We invite students, professors, department staff and outside guests to present on given topics at lunchtime.
In the past we've invited students to present honors theses, give traditional craft demonstrations, or share their experiences from a program that range from informal to formal. The goals are to build community (we learn more about each other!), increase awareness of the awesome programs that are out there, and increase Native American community participation in those programs. We may be a smaller community, but our voices can be heard in many areas of the Stanford Community!
Please email me back at kaylarae@stanford.edu if you are interested. Also, if you have a particular suggestion for the small lunch, let me know. For example, students who went abroad to Italy did Italian food and organized their own potluck that wasn't as small.
