TRIBAL NATIONS MAP

_{ANNOUNCING THE BRAND-NEW RELEASE OF THE TRIBAL NATIONS MAP}

_{FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE}

_{Ocboter 26th, 2012….Flagstaff, AZ}

_{Brand new Tribal Nations Map Released}

_{We officially announce today the release of the first-ever, newly-copy-written Tribal Nations Map:}

_{THE CONCEPT OF THE TRIBAL NATIONS MAP}

_{This map presents every documented, known Native American tribe that was here in the United States in Pre-Columbian times in approximately the year 1490. All of the tribal nations documented here are in their original locations before the European Invasion affected their movement and displacement. Most of the names of tribes are in their own language, and are not the names given to them either by the invading Europeans or even other tribes. For example, we correctly use the name Numinu for what most Americans would call the Comanche Nation. The Sioux are referred to here in their own language as the Lakota. Unfortunately, many of the tribes here are indeed listed by their given name. Their original names were lost in the War against the Indians which left many tribes numberless, or forced remnant bands to amalgamate into larger, stronger tribes. We seek here to honor those hundreds of tribal nations who existed in their respective territories for millennia unscathed until the encroachment of Europeans. This is a tribute to all of those forgotten tribes whose names had been lost to the wind, but who live in the hearts and minds of modern-day Native Americans who managed to survive the largest full-scale holocaust in Man's history. We also honor the Indigenous Nations of this land by giving them ownership of their own names for themselves.}

The daughter of a Winnipeg woman believed to be murdered has been given two platinum tickets to see pop star Justin Bieber in concert on Saturday.

The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs says the tickets came from Allan McLeod of Tribal Councils Investment Group.

It says McLeod saw Jasmine Nepinak talking about her mother, Tanya Nepinak, in a public service announcement about missing and murdered aboriginal women.

Police believe Nepinak -- who hasn't been seen or heard from since September 2011 -- was killed by alleged serial killer Shawn Lamb and that her remains are buried somewhere in Winnipeg's landfill.

The assembly also says McLeod is also donating two other tickets to the group, and it says will hold a random draw for the tickets to raise funds and awareness about missing and murdered women.
