The Meaning O 'Native Unity'!

To understand the meaning of “Native Unity”, one has to know the meaning of unity. My dictionary describes “unity” as 1. The state or fact of being one. 2. Something that is wholly united and complete within itself. 3. A state or quality of general accord and mutual understanding, harmony, agreement. 4. The harmonious agreement of parts or elements into one united whole.

Not any easy thing to accomplish when it comes to solidifying the Native American population in the U.S. There are more than 320 Federally Recognized Tribes in the in this country, alone. Each tribe has its own customs and culture, encompassing some 2,475,956 members (4,119.301 people of mixed-race) according to the 2000 census.

But unification among the Native Peoples can be accomplished. In fact, it has to be done if we are to see the “People” make any impact upon the social, economic and political structure in this country.

We, here, on the Native Unity blog can help to make a difference, one step at a time. Many thanks to Annie, Native Celebs, founder of this blog site and her dedicated support to the well-being and welfare of the American Indian.

Hopefully, the blogs, (thoughts, opinions and ideas of the writer) that appear on this site will promote the concept of Native Unity. Keep in mind the old saying, “United we stand – Divided we fall.”
