Inexpensive
yet durable and warm straw-bail housing is built by volunteers to help Native
Americans in need.
Ticci Man Project - Nonprofit
Native American Housing
Of the 2 million Native Americans living in the US, as many as 300,000 are
homeless!
Hundreds of tribal elders freeze to death every year on reservations because
they lack livable housing. It's almost never reported in the mainstream
news---and you wonder why we are raising the issue of discrimination and racism
in the media---yeah, right!!

Not only is the Ticci Man Project drawing attention to this issue, but we are
supporting efforts to fund future homes for those in need in Native America with
our charity event proceeds.

*Terminology We
use the term Native People (NP) in the purely anthropological sense to
denote "aboriginal people of the world, which includes a
wide variety of self-descriptive nomenclatures, including Canada's First Nations
People, Native Americans, and many others of the American continents and Pacific Island
groups and places of the world. When
more specific descriptions are used, they will include current country of origin
or commonly known tribal names (i.e. Mohawks of the Bay of
Quinte, Dine, etc.). |
