Đền Xám - Di tích quốc gia đặc biệt tại phường Hồng Quang, tỉnh Ninh Bình đang xuống cấp nghiêm trọng do nhiều năm chưa được tu bổ tổng thể. Các hạng mục công trình bị hư hỏng, bào mòn theo thời gian, đe dọa đến giá trị văn hóa, lịch sử của di tích. Đề nghị các cơ quan chức năng sớm có biện pháp bảo tồn, trùng tu để gìn giữ di sản quý cho thế hệ tương lai.

#NativeAmericaCalling: Language teachers celebrate success on #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Monday, October 13, 2025

"After an intensive two-year adult immersion program, the number of fluent #SpokaneSalish language speakers nearly doubled.

"The success represents the work of the #SpokaneLanguageHouse, a non-profit that is funded and supported by the #Spokane Tribe in #WashingtonState. Now, some of the immersion program graduates will be hired on as full-time language teaching staff as the tribe expands its language revitalization efforts.

"Meanwhile, the #YuchiTribe in #Oklahoma has established the #YuchiLanguageProject. As part of the work, the tribe developed a unique partnership with an #AustralianAboriginal nation to exchange ideas for revitalizing both of their endangered languages.

"Tune into Native America Calling to hear about these two recent Native language success stories.

"Also, hear about a five-part talk show, '#RematriatedVoices', centered on #Haudenosaunee culture and principles. The first episode airs on Indigenous Peoples Day on New York #PBS affiliate #WCNY.

"Guests on Native America Calling
#SulustuBarryMoses (Spokane Tribe of Indians), program manager for adult fluency training and executive director of the Spokane Language House

"#RichardGrounds (Yuchi and #Seminole), executive director of the Yuchi Language Project

"#MichelleSchenandoah (#Oneida), founder and executive lead of Rematriation"

#NativeAmericaCalling: Protecting #SacredSites in urban areas

Tuesday, October 7, 2025

"Protecting sacred sites in urban areas
Sacred sites sometimes get lost in urban settings as cities prioritize the needs of non-Native residents and commercial interests over the historical and spiritual value for Native Americans.

"But tribes and Native organizations are having some success connecting with city officials to see that sacred spaces are protected and accessible. After years of restoration work, what were known as the #IndianMounds in #SaintPaulMN, have a whole new look, a new #Dakota name — #Wicaḣapi — and an educational #CulturalCenter.

"Over in St. Louis, Missouri, the city just solidified a transfer of property that signifies its first-ever recognition of #TribalSovereignty. The sacred #SugarloafMound is being returned to the care of the #OsageNation, whose people were removed from the land.

"Tune into Native America Calling to talk about the difficult work to recognize and preserve sacred places in population centers."

We're Still Here: Why It's Still a Good Day to Be #Indigenous

By Levi Rickert, October 13, 2025

"Opinion. It’s a good day to be Indigenous.

Yes, even now. Even after what we witnessed this past week when the White House issued a proclamation for Columbus Day and failed to acknowledge #IndigenousPeoples’ Day. Even with the return of a presidential administration that has made no secret of its disdain for diversity, equity and inclusion (#DEI) efforts. And even though white nationalists continue to grumble at the idea of honoring Indigenous peoples at all—yes, it is still a good day to be Indigenous.

Being Indigenous doesn’t depend on who sits in the Oval Office. It doesn’t hinge on whether a president utters the words “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” or if federal websites decide to scrub Native achievements from their pages. Our strength is not defined by visibility in colonial spaces. Our strength comes from something much older, deeper, and more enduring.

We are still here.

Let’s talk about what happened. This past Thursday, the White House only released a proclamation for Columbus Day — nothing for Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which has now been recognized in some form by more than 20 states and over 130 cities and towns. That silence was loud. But it wasn’t surprising.

After all, this is the same administration that stormed back into office declaring war on DEI initiatives. Federal agencies began purging mentions of contributions by people of color. Even the Defense Department — prior to renaming itself the Department of War — removed references to the #NavajoCodeTalkers from its website. It took serious backlash from Indian Country for them to quietly restore those mentions.

And just last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he would not rescind the Medals of Honor awarded to soldiers who killed as many as 300 Lakota people — most of them unarmed women, children and elders — at the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre. The pattern is clear: This administration will honor those who committed atrocities against Native peoples while erasing the contributions of those who served with distinction.

So no, we weren’t shocked when Indigenous Peoples’ Day was erased at the federal level. But we’re also not deterred. We’ve always had to fight to be seen. And we’ve never needed permission to celebrate ourselves."

#Kahkewistahaw #FirstNation holds 1st #TeaDance in 80 years

The First Nation invited Cree lodge keeper Ken Saddleback from Maskwacis, Alta., to teach the community about the tea dance during a traditional gathering this month.

August 12, 2025

"It's been 80 years since the Cree community of Kahkewistahaw First Nation held a tea dance so this year they decided to include it in their week-long traditional gathering earlier this month.

Tea dance leader and lodge (ceremonies) keeper Ken Saddleback, a member of Samson Cree Nation from Maskwacis, Alta., drove almost 1,000 kilometres to the community about 170 kilometres east of Regina, and brought along some of his family, to help teach about the old dance.

Saddleback said back in the day they used to call it the drunk dance.

"You can act crazy and dance any style. It's just to make people laugh," said Saddleback.

Saddleback said long ago, a grandmother had a vision that showed her a sickness would come after new people arrived on their lands and millions would be wiped out.

By doing the dance, people hoped the sickness would think they were crazy and pass over them, said Saddleback, and in his home community they have two to three tea dances a week, sometimes even every day."

Another 2025 #Nihkaniyane honoree -#BrianneLolar!

"Brianne Lolar is one of three individuals honored by the #WabanakiAlliance at the 2025 Nihkaniyane event. A citizen of the #PenobscotNation, Lolar is a beloved elementary school teacher who left the classroom four years ago to begin doing equally important work as the first #WabanakiStudies Specialist for the Maine Department of Education. In that work she is bringing voice and representation to the Wabanaki people through partnerships with Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators and organizations who’ve been working together to achieve unmet goals and objectives of the 2001 requiring that #WabanakiHistory and culture be taught and integrated into the K-12 curriculum.

"A 2022 report from the Wabanaki Alliance, #AbbeMuseum, #ACLU of Maine, and Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission noted the law has not been implemented meaningfully across the state. Those findings and the work of a task force leading up to the report are what led Lolar to leave her 'happy place' of teaching in the classroom and enter the challenging give-and-take realm of state government where she’s been working on year-to-year contracts to help teachers and school districts fulfill the goals of the 2001 law.

" 'I knew I can’t complain about nothing being done if I’m not going to step up and sacrifice,' she says. 'My thinking was ‘It’s just a year and I’ll go back to teaching. It could go away again at any time. So I need to make the most of this opportunity.'

"Her sense of urgency motivated a 'can-do' approach that made sure yearly progress was being made to create a solid foundation for Wabanaki studies being taught across the entire state."
