The vitality of their religious lifeways lies at the heart of Native identity and experience.įor Native American people, these spiritual roots run deep in the history of the land. Many Native people link their survival to their religion, to the pervasive spiritual dimension of their way of life. They write legislation and they write novels. They perform ceremonies, they run businesses, and they go to medical school. They live in sovereign nations and within the 50 states, on farms, in towns, and in cities. They speak English, Spanish, Navajo, Ojibwe, and more than 100 other languages. I guess we have different definitions of a bike ‘needing nothing’, but it still looks absolutely fantastic.įind this Indian Brave for sale in Paynesville, Minnesota with bidding up to $3,050 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay.Today hundreds of thousands of Native people from more than 500 distinct tribal communities testify to the continued resilience and diversity of Native Americans in America. The seller says that mechanically the bike needs nothing, but then notes that parts for the speedometer drive are NLA, so the speedo doesn’t work. This specific Indian Brave (VIN: 248M7502) has 18,868 miles but has just enjoyed a total restoration. This ’53 model was the last year the Brave was produced, before Indian switched over to R-E bikes. MSRP was just $443, but that didn’t seem to help sales, which topped out at around 14,000 over about 4 years. According to a review in 1952 by Cycle magazine, top speed was 68 miles per hour and the bike returned 82 mpg. The Brave featured a 248cc flat head thumper (producing 8.25 horsepower) with a 3-speed transmission. That model was the Indian Brave, designed as a low budget runabout for the American market. After Indian went out of business in the late 40s and they were scooped up by a British firm, they sold off the remaining “true” Indians and created a new model before starting to sell rebadged Royal Enfields like the Tomahawk and the Lance.
