***It would be nice if some of the money went towards The One And Only Tribal College In California D-Q University***
DQU is a Best Described as a "Dog With Fleas" The Number One Issue is Accountability. The Board of Trustees has a History of Corruption. Even Now with GSA Ready to Set In and Take Back the 643 Acres of Land, No One In Indian Country Wants To Roll up their Sleeves and Help Rebuild this Sacred Place. Most People are Unaware of The Fact That DQU is The Home of The Longest Walk 1978, Which Saved ALL 389 Treaties From Being Abrogated. We Would Not Even Have Casinos' or The MONEYS That CASINOS' Bring To Our Communities Today if Not For DQU and The Longest Walk 1978. It's Sad that We Have Lost Over a BILLION ACRES OF Our Own LAND Across Turtle Island, And These Greedy Gaming Officials Here In California Don't Want To Invest In Our Peoples Decolonization. They Would Rather Control Our People With a Monthly Check To Sit On Their Butts and Drink Their Lives Away.
I Think it's Time JUSTICE is Served Out at DQU. We Must Clear DQU's Name By Serving Indian Justice. I Think it's Time "WE" The Indian Community set up an Indian Tribunal to Hold All The Peoples Who Have Hurt DQU's GOOD NAME Throughout the Year's Accountable For Their Actions. Then and Only Then Will DQU Be Able to Move Forward to a Brighter Future.
Respectfully, Quanah Parker Brightman
Feb. 1, 2008 protest at Sacramento California. A group of Native American Activists from different coalitions got to together to protest several matters effecting Native people of California like, Prop. 94, 95, 96, 97, disenrollment and why rich gaming casino tribes in California are not backing D.Q. University, a tribal college located just outside of Davis California.
The groups included Poor Magazine, D.Q. Students,United Native Americans,Inc and other local Indian people.
Group of Native American people gathered to make their concerns heard about the fact that a few rich gaming casino tribes should be funding Native American Indian colleges and universities like D.Q. University, which is located just outside of Davis California. Some Native people are protesting disenrollment in California. Many rich gaming tribes with casinos have disenrolled many members and disenrolling is a weapon used on tribal members to quell their freedom of speech and freedom to keep tribal governments free from corruption. Disenrolling is major tool used by many corrupt tribal leaders.

Everyone talks about being like the ancestors....but they diden't exept, or use Christianity, religion, voting, or politics, drinking, or doing other drugs, lie, hurt others, cheat, steal, or blame. Not even one of those traits could enter the hearts of them, because they knew those things would grow into a reality of destruction, spiritually, and physically, a place, and thing called being "american".
We mare not our ancestors, but their descendants, if we want to be them, then lets start with that check list, and make sure we dont activate any of those Weendigo's ways, our culture is disapearing in the matter of 500 years. The poisons are strong, so our medicine must be stronger. One way to know an NDN is lost...is if they are christians, like it or not!

Father Sky is gray
As the new light appears
And the laughter of the birds is still
the clouds shed their tears
and the land drinks of this heavenly dew
puddles replace the dust
irresistible temptations for little feet
Turning my face to the sky
and feeling the gentleness of the mist
washing away my cares
filling my heart with happiness
Lifting my spirits
like the quenching of the crops
Raising my arms
I turn to the four winds
and give thanks for this
gentle…Summer Rain.

Mother’s is likes no others Mother’s is likes no others She is always compassion kind and thinking about what is best for the child. She is the first God the child can look up too. She will wiped the tears from the child eyes, just to found out what’s wrong with the child. She would mend that bruise knee with a bandage, hoping that the scar was on her knee instead of your knee. She would feed you when you were hungry, She would clothe you when you were naked. She would do all that for you to tell you that she love you. Nobody can take her place here on earth. She is the salt of the earth for the family. She is the seasoning for the family. She makes everything all right. So if you have a living mother you have something to thank God for. Because she is the first to pray for her child if it gets into trouble. She wouldn’t turn her back on her child. Because she deserved the flower that she received. So children gave her flower why she is living. Mother is likes no Others 2009-May 10th, Sunday - Mothers day The work in being a mother is not an easy job, therefore, much love and respect to you on that day!
DAWN-ANGELS (by A. Mary F. Robinson) All night I watched awake for morning, At last the East grew all a flame, The birds for welcome sang, or warning, And with their singing morning came. Along the gold-green heavens drifted Pale wandering souls that shun the light, Whose cloudy pinions, torn and rifted, Had beat the bars of Heaven all night. These clustered round the moon, but higher A troop of shining spirits went, Who were not made of wind or fire, But some divine dream-element. Some held the Light, while those remaining Shook out their harvest-colored wings, A faint unusual music raining, (Whose sound was Light) on earthly things. They sang, and as a mighty river Their voices washed the night away, From East to West ran one white shiver, And waxen strong their song was Day.

THE "D" STANDS FOR THE NAME OF THE GREAT PEACEMAKER WHO INSPIRED THE FOUNDING OF THE IROQUOIS CONFEDERACY; THE FULL NAME SYMBOLIZED BY THE "D" IS USED ONLY IN RELIGIOUS CONTEXT.
THE "Q" REPRESENTS QUETZALCOATL, AN AZTEC PROPHET, WHO SYMBOLIZES THE PRINCIPLES OF WISDOM AND SELF-DISCIPLINE. History of D-Q University and Surround Area: For Thousands of Years The region Surrounding Davis, where D-Q University is Located, was the home of Wintun Peoples (Poowin and Patwin). Later, the area became known as Laguna de Santos Calle under a Mexican Land Grant. In 1868 Davisville was founded and named after a local farmer, Jerome C. Davis. The "ville" was removed in 1907, and the name officially changed in 1917 when the city was incorporated. D-Q University is Located on 643 acres on the site of a FORMER ARMY COMMUNICATIONS RELAY STATION. Prior to 1951, when the Communication station was built, the site was used for Agriculture. The Army Constructed Several buildings in the Center of the Land. In 1970, the Army Vacated the Site which then became FEDERAL SURPLUS PROPERTY PLACED UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE. At this Time a Number of Native Americans and Chicanos ESTABLISHED A CLAIM ON THE SITE WITH THE INTENT OF FORMING A SCHOOL CONTROLLED BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. AFTER LENGTHY NEGOTIATIONS, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AWARDED D-Q UNIVERSITY TITLE TO THE LAND IN 1971, UNDER PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SURPLUS PROPERTY LAWS. Native Peoples Gained The FIRST AND ONLY INDIGENOUS-CONTROLLED INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING LOCATED OUT SIDE A RESERVATION IN JULY 1971, WHEN D-Q UNIVERSITY OPENED IT'S DOORS FOR THE FIRST CLASSES. IT ALSO REPRESENTED THE FIRST TIME THAT THE DIVERSE GROUPS OF NATIVE RACES ON THE AMERICAN CONTINENT SUCCESSFULLY WORKED TOGETHER ON A PROJECT, DESPITE VAST LANGUAGE BARRIERS, GEOGRAPHICAL DIFFERENCES AND OUTSIDE PRESSURES. ON NOVEMBER 4, 1978, D-Q UNIVERSITY BECAME INDIAN-CONTROLLED. THE CAMPUS PROPERTY CONTINUED TO REMAIN IN TRUST UNTIL APRIL 2, 2001 WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS TURNED OVER TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. PAST ACTIVITIES AT D-Q UNIVERSITY: D-Q UNIVERSITY HAS HOSTED DELEGATIONS AND VISITING SCHOLARS FROM SEVERAL INDIAN NATIONS, AS WELL AS FROM CANADA, EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, AFRICA, AND ASIA. IN ADDITION, THE COLLEGE HAS HOSTED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS CALIFORNIA INDIAN BIG NEWS, CULTURAL DAY'S, SPIRITUAL UNITY CONFERENCES, YOUTH AND ELDER GATHERINGS, STUDENT ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS SUCH AS AMERICAN INDIAN YOUTH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES AND STATEWIDE M.E.Ch.A CONFERENCES, POWWOWS, CEREMONIES, FESTIVALS, CONCERTS, THE AMERICAN INDIAN 5OO-MILE MARATHON, AND OTHER EVENTS. D-Q UNIVERSITY HAS GRADUATED MANY NATIVE AMERICANS, CHICANOS AND STUDENTS FROM VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS, WHO HAVE GONE ON TO HIGHER ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND TRIBAL SECTORS. THE COLLEGE HAS ALSO SPONSORED TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS, COURSES, SEMINARS, CONFERENCES, AND SPECIALIZED OFFERINGS. THE COLLEGE HAS HOSTED CALIFORNIA INDIAN ASSOCIATION WORKSHOPS, CONFERENCES ON INDIAN AND CHICANO EDUCATION AND HISTORY INCLUDING "CALIFORNIA INDIANS AND THE MISSION SYSTEM," AND SEMINARS ON IMPLEMENTING LITERACY PROGRAMS.
D-Q UNIVERSITY IS LOCATED ON COUNTRY ROAD 31, SEVERAL MILES WEST OF THE CITY OF DAVIS, AND 5 MILES EAST OF WINTERS, CALIFORNIA, IN RURAL YOLO COUNTY. DAVIS IS LOCATED 14 MILES WEST OF SACRAMENTO AND 72 MILES NORTH-EAST OF SAN FRANCISCO. THE SACRAMENTO METROPOLITAN AIRPORT IS APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES DRIVING DISTANCE FROM DAVIS.
