indian is a term my grandmother used. she self identified as an indian. the reason i prefer indian -- where were you born? >> i was born in darby, pennsylvania. >> so you're born in american. i tell people if you were born in north, central, south america, you're a native american. the goal is this, we all own the history. if we don't own that you're a native, indian history isn't your history. if you claim to be a native, then the history of the indian world is also your history. >>> thank you for that, and amen. we're going to take a break on mosaic and we'll be back with mosaic. if you have fourth graders in the house, wake them up, because that mission project is something he can help them with. ,,,,,,,, >>> welcome back to mosaic. today, we're here with andy galvin. andy's heart and soul and beginnings are in the california vision. he is the curator for mission delores in san francisco and he is going to tell us about so much more about the mission. you -- tell us about this pilgrimage. i don't think we know about the many opportunities there are and

i'd like to do that so i'm an indian. and then some spanish family, who they're related to, will not have a proper heir, and lose the estate. they're saying, no, you're spaniard now. so these incredibly fluid social categories. that's the same as what these people like laman which he who was a mayan woman -- she learned mayan but was originally from another area, and this is becoming part spanish, her third identity. >> that's some flexibility -- remember, there's an essay where they talk about difficulty flying from new york to california, how long the six-hour flight seemed, and then she remembered that her ancestors trekked across the great plains and died or didn't by the time they reached the rockies, and she wonders whether she has the capacity of -- for that kind of physical bravery, but i would even argue for that kind of -- that flexibility of self-hood. most of us are wedded to concepts of self-that are really rather static than as fluid as you're suggesting. >> we're not in those situations. who knows what woul

the two majority populations here was african and indian. the europeans had a minor role in purely demographic terms, and you think, well, how could that have been forgotten? >> you know, i think that a big part of that, and this is just a guess 1 that when there's a great wave of european immigration started by the irish in the 1840s and then again in the 1880s and 1890, a pulse of europeans who come over, and for the first time there becomes a demographic presence, and that's in addition to the slave trade. who do they see? they see people like themselves. they land and go to communities with people like themselves, and you get this idea that this must be what's theirs. >> it's almost too as though grammar traps us after awhile, the words are not helpful separating us from our own reality. >> right. reality during here was a big jumble. >> it was of north america, that's unacceptable socially, but if -- [inaudible] the whole language of blackness and indianness becomes inadmissible in a polite way. >> right. even though, at the same time,

i am an indian first and a jew second. when mr. shimon peres came here -- >> reporter: that's the president of israel. >> the president of israel. i was asked by the bbc and the media, what is your feeling about israel and india? and i said that israel is in my heart but india is in my blood. >> reporter: but those who call themselves indian and jewish are fewer and fewer. one of malekar's sad tasks is to tend the cemetery whose census now exceeds the congregation in the synagogue next door. >> this is the last place, where we go to the divine. >> reporter: on a happier note, malekar will soon preside over his daughter, shulamit's wedding, which will be a historic event in delhi's jewish community. >> i don't remember even after 1956 there has been a single wedding in the synagogue. >> at 66, malekar will finally witness a marriage here between two indian jews, leaving only the worry about who from the handful of young congregants might be willing to take over from him. for "religion and ethics newsweekly" this is fred de sam lazar

(playing flute) so now that you have a little bit of powwow and a little bit of cedar flute in your ears, i would like to invite two guests up to perform for you, two arrangements which i made especially for today. first, rita lindall, rita and i are both in the same cohort as the music program at uc berkley and we've been saying for 4 years, we need to play music. so we finally made it happen. so, rita lindall, and then masuro koga. mas and i have been playing together for a very long time, so much so that we wore the same shirt without having to talk to each other about it. mas is in high demand both as a teacher and as a session side man, having played with everybody

we're not anti-indian or pro-indian. we're fair to all concerned. >> i think, you know, in the states on behalf of the tribes, i think that covers it, but if we want to be recognized as tribal governments appropriately under the law. >> that's beyond the scope of the poker bill, i think. i play poker at indian casino in oklahoma, so i'm with you, and i'm 132ndcher key, so i'm 132ndwith you there on that. [laughter] >> well, sure, i'm a full blood from wisconsin who used to engage in new york state and, you know, under the jay treaty, we're encouraged to do commerce to the just with other indian tribes, but other regions and across into our friends in the first nations from canada. >> they may be larger than the scope of this bill, but we're not trying to treat indian tribes for poker playing any differently than anybody else. senator, do you think there's any technical issues in terms of addressing andrew age poker players in this situation. we have the technology now, mr. congressman, to deal certainly with underage, ce

one such group is the kenaitze indian tribe. they are dena'ina people-- a branch of the athabaskan native americans. it was his job to teach me to hunt. i was born in kenai right here in 1923-- born and raised here. [narrator] clare swan is chairperson of the tribe. i just looked back at my roots and began to put them together and realized really how much of that was important to me, and i had tried to, like everyone else, change that because in order to fit-- there was a time when it wasn't fashionable to be native. you were lucky if you were blond and you were light enough that you could pass. no one was allowed to speak the dena'ina language. they didn't allow it in schools, and a lot of the women had married non-native men, and the men said, "you're american now, so you can't speak the language." so we became invisible in the community, invisible to each other, and then because we couldn't speak the language-- what happens when you can't speak your own language is that you have to think with someone else's words, and that's

some of his neighbors had seen vermont during the french indian wars. colonel thomas chittenden head of the militia in litchfield county connecticut decided to move with his clan into the one iski river valley up near burlington vermont. now, to do this ethan allen became a land speculator and investor. at first it was very small pieces of land. his timing could not have been worse. at exactly that time in 1770 the old problem of who owns the land flared. new hampshire's royal governor then bennie wentworth had sold charters for 170 townships in new hampshire and vermont. now who bought the charters? i did a little digging. for example williston vermont is named after sam willis, who is a merchant and hempstead long island who made a lot of money from the british supplied during the french and indian wars and like his merchant friends who wanted to lay some of it off and land in vermont. so willis and his friends came up with 40 shillings in silver and atlanta governor wentworth for granting the papers to set up a township five miles by five miles. will

it is really clear reasons why indian films are trying to be like american films. many people are watching the films. the danger is that the more you try to compete with hollywood, the more you end up losing the thing that people love about indian films in the first place. the british location science- fiction is different but that formula, the family drama, the songs and dancing, does make an appearance. for an audience this devoted, it can only go so far. >> what is not to love about that? today's show to ay close to the can get constant updates on our website, bbc.com. for all of us that "bbc world news america," see you tomorrow. >> funding was made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. union bank. and shell. >> this is kim - about to feel one of his favorite sensations. at shell, we're developing more efficient fuels in countries like malaysia that can help us get the most from our energy resources. let's use energy more efficiently. let's go. >> union bank has put its global expertise to work fo

this woman is an american indian and found this incredibly offensive. that they were using the navajo word to describe all of these items that were not made by navajo indians. >> is her problem because they are inaccurate navajo prints and they used the word "navajo." ? >> the problem is the use of the term "navajo" to describe something that is not made by american indians. she sent a letter to urban outfitters. in the letter, she states why this kind of apparel is illegal. and she cite as law. there's the indian arts and crafts act of 1990, that prohibits selling products through marketing that falsely suggest that they were made by american indians. >> i think a lot of people would walk in and say, those shoes are really cool-looking, i lke the pattern ontnd i'm goin tluron, public relations for urban outfitters said they have no current plans to modify or discontinue the line. >> you can see her argument, i can see both sides. but i also think that the average shopper at urban outfitters doesn't walk in there and think that these were made by navajo
