Navajo Code Talkers
This Navajo Code Talkers monument is located in Window Rock, Ariz. The monument pays tribute to the Navajo Code Talkers, a small band of warriors who created an unbreakable code from their Native language and changed the course of modern history.

This is Jim Thorpe, the first Native American to win an Olympic gold medal for his country. Looking closely at this photo, you can see he wear different socks and shoes. Not because of his fashion sense. This photo was taken in 1912, when Jim, a Native American from Oklahoma, represented the United States in athletics at the Olympics that summer.
On the morning of the match, his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim found two different shoes in a trash can. Those are the two shoes he is wearing in the photo. But one of those shoes was a little too big, so he had to put on a few more socks.
Wearing these clunky shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day. The person who stole the shoes must have not expected that instead of causing him to fail, they would bring him glory. This is a reminder to all of us that we can overcome any difficulty in life if we try.

Portrait of Joseph Two Bulls, Dakota Sioux, ca 1900
This photo marks the first in a series of photos I've made of Indigenous and First Nations people who lived a century ago in America. I hope you look forward to the next 19 days!
Lakȟóta or Dakhóta translates to mean "friend" or "ally" referring to the alliances between the bands. “Sioux” is a term that refers to the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Oceti Sakowin) meaning “Seven Council Fires”. They are the confederacy of Great Plains Tribes.
The name "Sioux" was adopted in English by the 1760s from French. In the early 1700s French fur trappers moved further inland toward the west where they came upon a new group of natives whom they did not know previously, so upon their return to the east they asked Chippewa natives who spoke Ojibwe if they knew what these new people were. The Ojibwe response was that they were the “Nadowessi”, meaning “little snakes”. Being French, they added the plural suffix -oux to their name which turned into “Nadouessioux”, later shortened to just “Sioux”. The Ojibwe were enemies of the Sioux at the time.
In recent times the term “Sioux” is falling out of favour and some of the tribes have formally or informally reclaimed their traditional names.
Today the seven nations that comprise the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ are as follows, native spelling first, transliteration in parenthesis, English translation in quotes:
Lakȟóta/Teton:
▸Thítȟuŋwaŋ (Teton) possibly "dwellers on the prairie"
Santee-Sisseton "knife camp" or Eastern Dakota/Dakhóta:
▸ Bdewákaŋthuŋwaŋ (Mdewakanton) "Spirit Lake Village" or "people of the mystic lake"
▸Waȟpékhute (Wahpekute) "Leaf Archers"
▸Sisíthuŋwaŋ (Sisseton) "swamp/lake/fish scale village"
▸Waȟpéthuŋwaŋ (Wahpeton) "Leaf Village"
Yankton/Yanktonai or Western Dakota:
▸ Iháŋkthuŋwaŋ (Yankton) "Village-at-the-end"
▸ Iháŋkthuŋwaŋna (Yanktonai) "Little village-at-the-end"
