Indigenous American History, Thu Quyên, Bayan Nur (2026)

In Memory of Graham Greene (1952–2023)
Graham Greene was more than an actor.
He was a storyteller, a cultural bridge, and a quiet guardian of Native American identity.
Through his roles, he gave Indigenous characters something Hollywood had long denied them — depth, dignity, and humanity.
He refused stereotypes. He chose truth.
Whether portraying elders, warriors, fathers, or healers, Graham Greene carried Native presence with respect — reminding the world that Indigenous people are not relics of the past, but living cultures with voices, values, and wisdom.
Beyond the screen, he represented pride without anger, strength without noise, and resistance through integrity.
For many Native youth, seeing him meant seeing themselves — not as myths, but as real, resilient people.
His legacy is not only in films and awards.
It lives in every story told honestly,
every culture represented with care,
and every future generation that knows their identity matters.
Thank you, Graham Greene,
for honoring the ancestors,
for protecting the stories,
and for reminding the world that Native voices belong — yesterday, today, and always.
🪶 Rest in honor.

"A Native American legend says: 'When a human being dies, there is a bridge they must cross to enter paradise. At the end of the bridge, every animal the person encountered during their life awaits them. The animals, based on what they know of this person, decide which humans can cross the bridge... and which will be turned away.'

In 1961, Your mother Holt married bank manager Gilbert LaPiere, who adopted Cher (under the name Cheryl LaPiere) and Georganne, and enrolled them at Montclair College Preparatory School, a private school in Encino, whose students were mostly from affluent families. The school's upper-class environment presented a challenge for Cher; biographer Connie Berman wrote, "[she] stood out from the others in both her striking appearance and outgoing personality." A former classmate commented, "I'll never forget seeing Cher for the first time. She was so special ... She was like a movie star, right then and there ... She said she was going to be a movie star and we knew she would." Despite not being an excellent student, Cher was intelligent and creative, according to Berman. She earned high grades, excelling in French and English classes. As an adult, she discovered that she had dyslexia. Cher's unconventional behavior stood out: she performed songs for students during the lunch hours and surprised peers when she wore a midriff-baring top.She later recalled, "I was never really in school. I was always thinking about when I was grown up and famous.

Why isn't this map in history books?
Before 1492, the Americas were far from "empty."
Over 70 million indigenous people lived on the continent, with hundreds of tribes, thousands of languages, each with its own territory and culture.
The map below shows North America before the invasion – when the indigenous tribes were at their peak.
After 1492, war, disease, and forced displacement wiped out much of those civilizations.
This is more than just a map.
This is a forgotten history.
❤️ If you haven't seen this map before, take a moment to look again.

🎉 Happy 80th Birthday, Danny Trejo! 🎉
Born on May 16, 1944, in Los Angeles, Danny Trejo is living proof of the power of change.
From a turbulent childhood, years in prison, and a past of addiction, he rose above it all—becoming a legendary Hollywood actor, a prison boxer, and an inspiration to millions.
With his unmistakable face, Trejo made his mark through films like Desperado, Heat, From Dusk Till Dawn, Machete… but what earned him even more respect was his real-life persona:
a successful businessman, the founder of Trejo’s Tacos & Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts,
and a powerful voice for those struggling with addiction and marginalized life.
Proud of his Mexican heritage, Danny Trejo has always used his fame to celebrate indigenous culture, defend the Latino community, and support the marginalized. He is not just a cinematic icon — but also an icon of resilience, identity, and compassion.
🔥 A true legend. A real-life warrior.

The Inuit people can''t be imagined without their signature parkas, fashioned from fur and hide of the local wildlife. One of the many reasons why early European voyages into the Arctic circle failed is because they were underprepared for the extreme weather conditions of the north. They wore wool clothing, which kept them hot on the inside, but made them sweat a lot, which made their clothing freeze in the extreme temperatures. The Inuit never faced this problem, as they have been making their parkas from caribou deer or seal hide from as early as 22,000 BC (Siberia). The production of these parkas took weeks, and the tradition of making them was passed down from mother to daughter, taking years to master. Depending on the geographical location of the tribes, the design of the parkas varied according to the types of animals available. Beadwork, fringes and pendants frequently decorated the clothing. Roald Amundsen was the first explorer who outfitted his crew with Inuit clothing, which enabled him to successfully circumvent the North-West Passage in 1906. In the 20th century the use of traditional Inuit clothing declined, but it has seen a recent resurgence, as the Inuit strive to preserve their culture.

Missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new movie at one of the clubs in New York.
He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.
No one recognized him.
The club owner said: “I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to get in - he didn't say anything to anyone.”
"He travels by public transport."
"He easily communicates with homeless people on the streets and helps them."
- He was only 60 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can only eat hot dogs in the park, sitting among normal people.
- After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skills.
- He gave up most of the salaries of the costume designers and computer scientists who drew the special effects on "The Matrix" - deciding that their share of the film's budget was assessed short.
- He reduced his salary for the movie "The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.
- Almost at the same time his best friend passed away; His girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister suffered from leukemia.
Keanu didn't fail: he donated $5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to be filmed (to be with her), and founded the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant amounts from each fee for the movie.
You may have been born a man, but stay a man..

Chief Wolf Robe wearing the Benjamin Harrison Peace Medal, 1899
Wolf Robe was the leader of the Cheyenne tribe. In his role as their leader, he earned the Benjamin Harrison Peace Medal in 1890 for his role in the Cherokee Commission. It was a committee of three people who worked together to legally buy land that was occupied by the Cherokee Nation and several other tribes in the Oklahoma Territory so that it may be used by non-indigenous people.
Wolf Robe was also one of the most respected individuals of the Cheyenne tribe, due to his ability to remain calm under extreme pressure, as well as protect the interests of his fellow people.
