Happy Native Christmas!
“In addition, the holidays are a time of giving and this is not a foreign concept to Native cultures.
All throughout the year, many Native American cultures celebrate special occasions and events with giveaways .
Such generosity in Native cultures is a sign of a giving heart, with spiritual as well as social value.
So, the concept of holiday giving easily coincides with traditional Native American beliefs.
Both the Winter Solstice and Christmas are a time to look forward to what is coming in the new year, a time when hope abounds."
" This is also a time when our organization is focusing on services for those that perhaps need a little boost of hope and cheer.
In addition to providing services such as winter fuel for Elders to heat their homes, staple foods for senior centers
and Thanksgiving meals for Elders and their families, each year we help brighten the holidays for tens of thousands of Native Americans
through our Holiday gift and meal programs.
Native children, teens, families and Elders alike enjoy the gifts and the opportunity to celebrate the holiday season in the same ways as other Americans.”
"Weihnachten ist kein Zeitpunkt und keine Jahreszeit,
sondern eine Gefühlslage.
Frieden und Wohlwollen in seinem Herzen zu halten,
freigiebig mit Barmherzigkeit zu sein,
das heißt, den wahren Geist von Weihnachten in sich zu tragen."
Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933), amerik. Politiker, 30. Präs. d. USA (1923-29)
