Nebraska Chapter

 

My name is Stephanie Pauline Parker and I am a proud member of the Omaha Nation of Nebraska /Iowa. I come from the small bird clan (Tha’Ta’Da) my mother came from the Elk Clan (wezhiste') whom were the hereditary Chiefs and keepers of the tent of war. I was raised within the teachings of my families’ responsibilities and as an adult I carry this on. For many years I have collectively gathered and stored history of my tribe so I could preserve this for many generations to come. I have witnessed racism and seen the hardships this brings all natives throughout Native lands. At a young age I decided I would not be a conformist and I would not be a Christian. This has brought me to where I am today. I will always stand up to what I feel is wrong. I will continue to help the ones who don't have a voice or can't express themselves. As a chapter leader of the "United Urban Warrior Society " I stand beside all who will unite as one to oppose all who threaten the Indigenous , Native and First Nations way of lives and beliefs , those who capitalize off our natural resources and exploits our sacred items and places of worship . I also graduated with my AA degree of American Indian Studies. Which gave me the knowledge of federal Indian law and Policies.
