Painting of Native-Americans

[news.verizon.net]

Hi. I'm hoping someone here can help me find a painting I once saw in an
issue of Newsweek. I'm looking to obtain a print, somehow.

The painting was of a tribe, forced ever westward by colonist expansion,
standing on a bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean. The chief was gazing at
the ocean, like he was contemplating their live along the shores. At his
feet, however, is a dog, looking back over his shoulder with a look of
terror in his eyes, like he knew there would never be a safe place for them.

The painting moved me on many levels. If anyone can help me with the
paintings name, or the artist, or maybe a lead to find such info, I'd really
appreciate it.

Thanks,

It is sad, Dave, that this newgroups site, supposedly devoted to Native
American Culture has absolutely none of the subject matter posted. Perhaps
the steriotypical native american picture is true and all indians are too
illiterate to use a computer. If there is a native american out there
willing to feed me authentic and correct information, please e-mail me or
post here.

it's not that most are too illiterate to use a computer, it's just that the
younger generations rarely care, in all societies even native ones, also
those who do are usually either old (it has been my experience that the
elderly usually do not interface well w/computers, not saying they are not
intelligent, just that there appears to be a compatibility problem) or don't
bother with the usenet groups anymore. Most of them are either dead or have
been taken over by spammers who for some reason think everyone needs a
bigger penis. Also there is a large problem w/the ppl who would know the
most, who live on reservations are typically very poor. Affording a comp is
a big hassle for me, and I even get off cheap b/c I can build one. Sometimes
poverty is quite the large reason not to have a computer at all. It costs
alot, then there's the electric bills and the internet service bills, maybe
back in the day when the free isp's abounded there were more ppl about, but
not nowadays.
My advice, if you're looking for authentic and correct info, go to a
pow-wow, there are tons of them in the states every year.

We do use computers. It's a shame alot stero type us as being poor with no
real eduction or technical education. IT really depnds on the individual and
the tribal nation.

I am Tsalagi (Cherokee) Ani-Waya (Wolf Clan). The cherokee people are much
like any group of people. We have great schools, a strong Tribal Nation
government, and work with many other groups to teach our language and
culture.

We do not all live on reservations all our life. Many of us go out and get
an education, teach our culture, and share it. We often return to the
reservation later and help it grow from what we learn.

Not all tribal groups are the same. Some still live in poverty and suffer,
but not all. I have spent alot of time visiting other groups and talking
with them about how they can progress and still maintain their culture.

For those of us who have moved off the reservation. We are lucky to now
remain connected via the internet. We can now see Tribal coucil meetings and
State of the Nation addresses from the Oklahoma reservation via the
internet.

The past wasn't glorious when we were forced off our homelands to
reservations. Yet mother earth is vast, and she as a whole is our land and
strength. We find our strength and move on. Drewling in hate from the past
will only prevent you from building a future and living life.
