What
is a dragonfly?
Living on every continent but Antarctica, these insects are
instantly recognizable by their large bodies; four long, horizontal
wings; and the way they hover and zip around. Dragonflies can
reach speeds of up to 35 miles an hour and fly just as gracefully
backward by lifting off vertically, helicopter style. Their
compound eyes are so large they nearly touch, and each one has
about 28,000 single eyes, or ommatidia.

Bdote
Memory Map
The Bdote Memory Map began as a part of the "City Indians"
multi-media installation at Ancient Traders Gallery on Franklin
Avenue in Minneapolis in 2005. (Learn more at http://www.alliesmediaart.com).
On one wall of the gallery a large, stylized, painted map of
the Minneapolis-St. Paul area (centered on the confluence of
the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers) invited visitors to add
their own written memories and stories of traditional Dakota
sites to the map. A small number of traditional sites were shown
on the map by Dakota name and historical photograph.

The
DELINE GOT’INE Government
The Deline Got’ine Government (DGG) is a major achievement
for the people of Deline. It is the first combined Indigenous/public
government in the Northwest Territories. A combined Indigenous/public
government is Treaty-based with self-governing authorities.
But unlike other self-governments, it represents and serves
not only Deline First Nation Citizens, but all residents of
Deline.

Indian
Pueblo Cultural Center
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is a world-class museum and
cultural center created as a place where Pueblo people can tell
their story. As the gateway to the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico,
the center is a necessary first stop for visitors to New Mexico,
providing an introduction for understanding the state’s
landscape, legacy, and story of continuance. The center hosts
cultural Native American dances every weekend year-round, and
offers an exciting schedule of cultural, educational, and community
activities.
