Blizzard Relief Needed! Snow storms hit SD and impacts Native & non-Native Communities-You can help!
All week I have been getting alerts about the storms that have hammered parts of South Dakota. Snow blizzards have been causing the brunt of the power outages and there are people who have especially been hit hard on some of the Reservations. Rescue efforts have begun, but others can't get out or do not want to leave their homes. We can help out by sending food, warm clothes, blankets, money to non-profits helping with the rescue efforts. Tune in Saturday at 10am-noon (when I/my callers have free minutes) and we will focus our energy, love and prayers on South Dakota and the Rez's who need help at this time, due to the season of Winter starting for them now...
Please tell your friends and family to listen, call in as well, if they have news from that area, first hand stories and or ideas and/or can offer ideas of their own.

Keep checking my blog for updates & guests TBA….lots of good music too- we will remember and pay tribute to Floyd Red Crow Westerman during part of the show…..
Custer Died for Your Sins/The Land Is Your Mother by Floyd Westerman (Audio CD - 1993)
“Like most Native Americans of his generation, Floyd Westerman was wrenched away from the arms of his family at the age of five and sent off to a government boarding school nearly 100 miles away. These blatant attempts to destroy Indian civilization by breaking up families and making traditions obsolete became one of many subjects Westerman would take on when he developed into an important Native American protest singer and actor.
A Dakota Sioux, Westerman remained at the boarding school for the next 12 years, until he had finished high school. By this time he had learned guitar after watching… Read more”

RE: a cry for help for Winona LaDuke!!!
----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------
From: rezervations on www. nv1.org
Date: Nov 11, 2008 11:18 AM
Friends,
This past weekend, Winona's house had an electrical fire and the house burnt to the ground. No one was hurt. While the house and its contents are gone, the blessing is that all five kids and three grandchildren are safe.
I'm writing to you because I know Winona won't ask for help, and I also know
she really needs our support.
Winona bought her house about 20 years ago and it was filled with art, books, music, photos and other collectibles that
reflected her story and the story of her family.
What will be most missed
are these memories, and we can recreate some of them.
Photos: One positive thing about being a public figure is that lots of folks
have photos of you and your children.
We have a good collection at Honor the
Earth but I'm asking if you could go through your pictures and send photos
you have of the family, especially the kids.
Wasey and Ajuwak were born
before the digital age so a lot of the photos of them growing up are gone.
Photos would mean a lot.
Movement T-shirts and Art: The kids all had an amazing collection of
movement t-shirts that comprised the bulk of their wardrobe.
Winona
basically shopped for her kids at the events she attended around the world.
If you have any political message shirts or shirts from historic activist
events in sizes Small, Large or X-Large, I know the kids would cherish them.
Zapatista shirts are a favorite.
Also gone is Winona's amazing collection of
posters and art from decades past. I know she would appreciate any no-nukes, safe energy, anti-colonial, no-gmo and Native activist art.
Books: Winona had a library that fed her mind and soul, and that she often
turned to for research material.
If you can send books, fiction and
non-fiction, she can begin her collection again.
Lastly, Winona has a newborn grandson, Little Crow, who along with her two
toddler grandchildren lost all of their clothes and blankets.
Winter is
coming and the family could really use any warm baby clothes along with
clothes and outerwear for a two year old girl and a large two year old boy
(Giwaadan is a size 4 toddler!).
These are the things -- photos, t-shirts and art, books and baby/toddler
clothing that I think would be most helpful right now, and would touch the
family most.
Winona and the kids are renting an apartment in Detroit Lakes and will be
staying there over the winter while envisioning building a new home.
Right
now, the best shipping address is White Earth Land Recovery/Honor the Earth
office up in Calloway:
Winona LaDuke
White Earth Land Recovery Project
607 Main Avenue
Callaway, MN 56521
I am so appreciative to have all of you to turn to for support.
I send warm
thoughts and love your way, and deep thanks that we all have such a
wonderful circle of family and friends.

-- Remarkable Women...Remarkable Story
"Expertly depicts the story of the Vietnam Donut Dollies who provided comfort and support to troops in combat and captures the courage, sensitivity, commitment and humanitarian service of young women serving in Vietnam during most trying and heroic times." --Gerald DeFrancisco, President, Humanitarian Services, American Red Cross
During the Vietnam War 627 adventurous young women threw off society's expectations and headed out to learn what they could do for their country. The Vietnam "Donut Dollies" were airmobile to the front lines, dropping into dusty firebases and sweaty base camps to bring a listening ear, a silly game, and a friendly smile to combat soldiers. Their year at war armed only with a smile would affect each of them forever. Now, for the first time, their words, home movies and photographs tell the captivating, extraordinary story of women who made a difference by bringing A Touch of Home to the combat zone.
In honor of the fifteenth anniversary of the Vietnam Women's Memorial, we are pleased to announce the Veterans Day, 2008 release of A Touch of Home: The Vietnam War's Red Cross girls.
Successful Premiere
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
premiere poster The documentary premiered November 9 to a sold-out audience at the Women In Military Service to America Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. Opening comments by Dr. Jim Fulbrook of the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, United States Army Brigadier General (P) Gina Farrissee, and American Red Cross President for Humanitarian Services Gerald DeFrancisco introduced the tribute event to the remarkable Vietnam War American Red Cross Girls.

If you encounter any trouble, or if you would like to order 10 or more copies at a discounted rate, email pfries@arrowheadfilms.com directly. Please put ATOH Order in the subject line.
Remarkable Women...Remarkable Story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We heard about the Donut Dollies through the Huey pilots who flew them, way back in 2001 when we were doing research for a documentary about a Huey's journey across America. When that journey finally lifted off years later, we met Red Cross Girls at Landing Zones around the nation. Intrigued by their story from the beginning, we soon grew enthralled with the women themselves. Spunky, vivacious, gutsy, funny, proud, and smart to a woman, the Vietnam Donut Dollies speak of their time at war with a sense of pride familiar to any soldier, marine, airman or sailor.
They were Kennedy kids "with a thirst for adventure and a desire to do something real." Their experience in Vietnam has affected each of them differently, but affected them all. This documentary captures their look back at war in their own words, with a rich collection of photos and home movies they took of the firebases and landing zones and base camps where they served.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll hear the story of your war from a woman's perspective in way you've never heard it told before. Please join us in meeting "the most remarkable women you'll ever meet" -- The Vietnam War's Red Cross Girls!

International Disaster Declaration from Russel Means

International Disaster Declaration from Russel Means
by Brennus
Sunday Nov 9th, 2008 9:31 PM
Governor Michael Rounds of South Dakota has declared the State a disaster area. However, Indian Reservations are NOT included in the declaration. I, Russell Means, due to the total absence of Tribal Government and its leadership, and as candidate for Tribal President and Chief Facilitator of the Republic of Lakotah, am declaring an INTERNATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY.
Oglala Sioux Pine Ridge Indian Reservation - STATE OF EMERGENCY
Governor Michael Rounds of South Dakota has declared the State a disaster area. However, Indian Reservations are NOT included in the declaration.
I, Russell Means, due to the total absence of Tribal Government and its leadership, and as candidate for Tribal President and Chief Facilitator of the Republic of Lakotah, am declaring an INTERNATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY.
The reason for this declaration is two-fold: 1) The current life-threatening severe weather conditions and 2) The ongoing genocidal policies of the United States Government that still remain unaddressed:
Unknown thousands are still stranded by high snow drifts for 3rd straight day.
Unknown number of people without heat and/or electricity.
Impassable road conditions preventing emergency services and propane deliveries.
Confirmed fatality due to inability to get to dialysis treatment. Status of other dialysis patients is unknown.
Second fatality bled to death due to no emergency services.
Tribal President Steele and Vice President Brewer’s whereabouts unknown as reported by Officers of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (B.I.A.).
Officers rescue mother with new born and 2-year old child from heatless home.
Tribal Police dispatch unable to determine road conditions.
Wide-spread telephone service interruptions.
Hardest hit is the eastern portion of the Reservation, which includes Pass Creek, Eagle Nest and Medicine Root Districts. Also Red Shirt Table, Cuny Table, Slim Buttes,Oglala and Porcupine communities.
Unconfirmed reports of National Guard due to arrive today.
Genocidal Results of the Failed American Indian Policies of the United States Government:
MORTALITY:
Lakotah men have a life expectancy of less than 44 years, lowest of any country in the World (excluding AIDS) including Haiti.
Lakotah death rate is the highest in the United States.
The Lakotah infant mortality rate is 300% more than the U.S. Average.
One out of every four Lakotah children born are fostered or adopted out to non-Indian homes.
Diseases such as tuberculosis, polio, etc. are present. Cancer is now at epidemic proportions!
Teenage suicide rate is 150% higher than the U.S national average for this group.
POVERTY:
Median income is approximately $2,600 to $3,500 per year. 97% of our Lakotah people live below the poverty line. Many families cannot afford heating oil, wood or propane and many residents use ovens to heat their homes. UNEMPLOYMENT: Unemployment rates on our reservations are 80% or higher. Government funding for job creation is lost through cronyism and corruption. HOUSING: Elderly die each winter from hypothermia (freezing). 1/3 of the homes lack basic clean water and sewage while 40% lack electricity. 60% of Reservation families have no telephone. 60% of housing is infected with potentially fatal black molds. There is an estimated average of 17 people living in each family home (may only have two to three rooms). Some homes, built for 6 to 8 people, have up to 30 people living in them. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL: More than half the Reservation’s adults battle addiction and disease. Alcoholism affects 9 in 10 families. Two known meth-amphetamine labs allowed to continue operation. Why? DISEASE: The Tuberculosis rate on Lakotah reservations is approx. 800% higher than the U.S national average. Cervical cancer is 500% higher than the U.S national average. The rate of diabetes is 800% higher than the U.S national average. Federal Commodity Food Program provides high sugar foods that kill Native people through diabetes and heart disease. INCARCERATION: Indian children incarceration rate 40% higher than whites. In South Dakota, 21 percent of state prisoners are American Indians, yet they only make up 2% of the population. Indians have the second largest state prison incarceration rate in the nation. Most Indians live on federal reservations. Less than 2% of Indians live where the state has jurisdiction! THREATENED CULTURE: Only 14% of the Lakotah population can speak the Lakotah language. The language is not being shared inter-generationally. Today, the average age of a fluent Lakotah speaker is 65 years. Our Lakotah language is an Endangered Language, on the verge of extinction. Our Lakotah language is not allowed to be taught in the U.S. Government schools. Please contact: info@republicoflakotah.com, 605-867-1025

With the first winter snow storm already under foot, I ask that you please send what ever you can to this organization. Every dollar counts. If we all get together and mail one dollar to the address listed below and tell them the dollar is for the utility fund, we may keep a few families not only from freezing this winter but also together.
Cangleska, Inc. runs the only battered women's shelter on Pine Ridge Reservation. There are many mothers with children who are struggling to set up new households on their own with little or no belongings. They often struggle to pay their utilities and reach out to Cangleska for help. Many live in substandard housing that lack the proper insulation to protect them from the cold winter weather, which can drop to thirty below zero.
Unfortunately there are never enough funds to help all of these mothers and children and it often means the children will be removed from the home by social services organizations due to the lack of utilities. Your donations to Cangleska will not only help these families back on their feet but will help keep the children from being separated from their mothers. Thank you so much for your support.
Please send your tax-deductible check or money order made out to Cangleska, Inc. with a note specifying that you want to donation applied to the utilities help fund to:

Season Of Rain

Here is the Poem:
Snow Geese Came Early
©Robin Carneen 11-8-08
(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED)
Ponies & horses
Blanketed against the cold
Snow geese came early
To winter in
Farmland abode
The rivers have swollen
Soon they will crest
Rain came too fast
On a wind from
The west
My dogs shed early
My wood needs
To be stacked
Both sons getting older
Taller than me in fact
This change in season
Lies round the next bend
Time to take stock and rest up
Spend time with my friends
Maybe I will get out
My old guitar
Or glass beads
My cedar has been calling
Knowing ancestor's knowledge
Lies inside me
I can't help but think
As we enter into
This new time
Of change
We will submerge from
The darkness
And meld together
Like one cleansing rain
Tonight
I saw a storm cloud
In twilight's sky
That looked like a basket
Woven perhaps
To catch wishing stars
That may fall by
It stopped me in my trek
As I headed home
Something told me to pull over
And to watch the snow Geese
Round dance & listen
To their
Double rainbow song
And for a moment
The white birds circled
Beneath the moon drum
And round danced
To Mother Earth's beat
And for everyone
Circling with messengers
Giving us hope and not fear
I sent a prayer with them
On white wings & song
I heard here

Sarah's bio:
Sarah van Gelder is cofounder of YES! magazine and has been its executive editor since it began publication in 1996. Her focus at YES! is on the solutions and innovations that address the most profound issues of our time.
Each issue of YES! reframes a crisis of today's world -- broken health care system; the travesty in Iraq; excess corporate power; global warming -- showing how a radically different approach can bring about a far better world.
And each issue highlights the leadership coming from grassroots communities, social movements, and courageous activists who are building a future that can work for all.
In addition to her regular features in the printed magazine, Sarah blogs at www. yesmagazine. org/svgblog, lectures nationally/internationally, interviews regularly on radio talk shows nationwide.
More:
Recent issues of YES! include:
Superpower? Get Over It! inspired by the disaster of Bush administration foreign policy, the summer 2008 issue explores an emerging role for the United States in a post-superpower world as part of a community of nations. It includes an interview with Secretary of State George Shultz on the abolition of nuclear weapons; ways to slash waste and abuse from the military budget; new policy directions for U.S. relations with Iran, Cuba, Israel, and Iraq; and
Purple America: an agenda for ordinary people, and Stop Climate Change Cold -- an issue that shows what it will take in multiple areas of life to avert dangerous climate change.
She edited two books: Saying YES!, which contains her interviews with visionaries and activists, and Making Peace (with Carolyn McConnell), which features an eclectic mix of articles that shine a light on the deeper meaning of peacemaking.
Community involvement:
Sarah van Gelder is also deeply involved in her own community. She is among the co-founders of Winslow Cohousing, one of the nation's first cohousing communities. And she co-founded an organization that is building bridges between the Suquamish Tribe and the non-tribal community. In conjunction with tribal leaders, she led a statewide campaign that resulted in the return to the Suquamish Tribe of the ancestral home of the tribe and of one of their leaders, Chief Seattle. She is currently an appointed member of the board of the Suquamish Foundation, a tribally chartered foundation.

12 Ways You Can Safeguard the Vote
source: http://www. yesmagazine. org/newsletters/oct08vote/default. html
Are you worried that we will wake up November 5th to find that, once again, election results in key races are in question? Here's what you can do.
These recommendations from the staff at YES! Magazine are simple ways you can protect your own vote—and the fairness of the system, based on the recommendations of leading voting integrity advocates.
Please forward this checklist to others to help make our election system work.
BEFORE ELECTION DAY
1. Check your registration. Even if you think you're registered, you may not be. Check online at www. CanIVote. org.
2. Vote now. Check if early voting is possible in your state. If you’re voting by mail, check carefully where you need to sign, how to seal the envelope, and how to mark the ballot. And note: Some ballots require extra postage.
3. Practice your vote. Electronic voting machines can be difficult to use. Verifiedvoting. org is preparing links to video demos of how to vote on the machine you will find at your polling station. If you'll be using a paper ballot, check out the sample included in your voter pamphlet.
4. Find out who’s in charge. Make a phone list of your county and state election officials—it may save valuable time on Election Day if you need to get registration verification or other information.
ON ELECTION DAY
5. Vote early. Avoid the frustration of long lines. Also, if you encounter problems, you'll have time to sort them out and may be able to help others.
6. Take your government-issued ID and your cell phone, if you have one. If you have problems, or see problems, call a hotline immediately (see point #9). You may not need ID to vote, but it's best to have it. If you have trouble with your registration, ask for a provisional ballot.
7. Avoid Straight Party Voting, if it's an option in your state. Vote for each race individually, even if it takes a little longer.
8. Verify your vote. If you’re voting on an electronic voting machine, check the review screen to make sure it reflects your vote. If the machine produces a paper record, check as you go along that everything is working correctly. If not, speak to a polling attendant—don’t leave until you’re sure your vote has been properly recorded.
9. Document and report. If you encounter difficulties, or see others experiencing difficulties (excessive lines, voter harassment, malfunctioning machines, etc.), make a detailed record. Get all the facts you can—location, names, specific problem.
The best way to report problems is to call 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683), which has volunteer lawyers in 15 locations standing by to provide rapid-response assistance. You can also contact your party of choice. We have more suggestions here.
AFTER ELECTION DAY
10. Call your candidate. If there are questions about an election result, urge your candidate to ask for an audit. Ask how you can help.
11. Call your election officials. If you have concerns, let your county and state election officials know, and monitor their response. Ask them not to certify the election before all challenges and recounts are finished. And send a copy of your message to your local newspaper editor. If you're confident about the election result, thank the officials for a difficult job well done.
INTO THE FUTURE
12. Work for fair, transparent elections. 66% of Americans don't trust the electronic voting machines many of us will be voting on this November. Join the movement for election reform in between elections. Use our YES! Tools to find out how.
Yours for democracy,
Fran Korten

NAMAPAHH visits Seattle Art Museum 10-25-08 : S'abadeb
NAMAPAHH First People's Radio & Productions " On the Red Road Report": 10-25-08
NAMAPAHH visits Seattle Art Museum 10-25-08 : S'abadeb
by Robin Carneen
Vi Hilbert honored and acknowledged at "S'abadeb — The Gifts: Pacific Coast Salish Art and Artists
Vi Hilbert is an enrolled Upper Skagit tribal member and a esteemed Elder, she is gracefully 90 years old. This past Saturday, she was honored through a slide show , as part of opening ceremonies at the Seattle Art Museum of the new Pacific Coast Salish Exhibit-"S'abadeb — The Gifts: Pacific Coast Salish Art and Artists. The pictures were projected on a wall over Vi's head as she sat and listened to the narrator of the slideshow depicting her family lineage and sharing history of how she is connected to Skagit county. She was also acknowledged for her incredible accomplishment of helping to bring back the Lushootseed Language, which she eventually taught to many and is being taught to this day.
The Pacific Coast Salish Art show ( "S'abadeb — The Gifts: Pacific Coast Salish Art and Artists)"
(S'abadeb pronounced Sah-BAH-deb) has an array of Puget Sound carvings, mountain goat hair wool weavings, sculptures, baskets and also features Swinomish- Tulalip photographer Matika Wilbur's black and white photos, which share a special exhibit hall with Edward S. Curtis. Curtis was famous for his own sepia toned photos of Native American's all over the United States. However, according to a recent article in the Seattle Times http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008283855_sam19.html By Sheila Farr-Seattle Times art critic- Curtis, for the most part, staged those Native Americans photographed in traditional regalia, props and/ or settings. Matika says in the same article that many photos are staged, but when I look at her photos of some of our Elders, I was stunned at the realness of them, as far as their persona which she has captured with her lens and mind. She is able to actually show you who these Elders are (or were-one Elder, also a Veteran, since he was photographed has crossed on). As my Mom Connie Allen and I were commenting on her photos, Matika walked into the exhibit hall and her timing was uncanny. I was secretly hoping at just about this moment, that we would run into her there. We were so glad when she materialized, we were able to compliment her in person and thank her for the important work she is doing for our people. My mother, Connie Allen was especially drawn to the almost mystical- spiritual ambiance of the photo of Elder Joe McCoy who is of the shaker church faith.There is a soft light surrounding him that had to have come in from the "other side". I agreed with Mom, It is a breath-taking photo and there is no doubt that Matika has a guiding hand in the work she is doing.
There are also some items on loan to S.A.M for display at this exhibit. For example: "A small carved wood potlatch figure more than 200 years old welcomes visitors to the galleries, its hands held up in greeting. The piece serves as a powerful icon of the exhibition. Collected in 1792 by Capt. George Vancouver, the figure is now visiting its former homeland from the faraway British Museum."http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/thearts/2008303276_visart24.html Sheila Farr Seattle Times art critic). Mom and I quietly and respectfully walked by an installment called " "Soul Recovery Ceremony" by the late Gerald Bruce (subiyay) Miller-another Elder(Skokomish) who I met a few times at the NNABA(Northwest Native American Basketweaver's Assoc.) gatherings when he was alive. Seeing his name again, saddly reminded me of the fact we have lost so many of our Elders and much of our culture and all that goes with it, has crossed over with them. This show-S'abadeb, made me want to rush home to immerse myself in my own Native American artwork- cedar, beadwork, and many other mediums- clues and the keys to who I am and where I come from. Mom agreed- she said, "You weave and I will bead."
It is worth the drive to Seattle, WA to see this rare exhibit of Coast Salish mixed media and loaned collections displayed in an incorporated way.We proudly share these pictures of our time spent at the Welcoming ceremony and we are also glad to share some of our insights and critique of this exhibit. We want to encourage you to bring friends and family and visit this exhibit, more than once even. Mom and I will come back ourselves, but with a bigger van full next time. If local schools could even make this a field trip between now and before the exhibit leaves in mid January, it would help bring it "home" as far as understanding the Pacific Coast Salish culture, language, and many of our ways, that we are trying to find our way back to. There is also a companion book available that illustrates and shares background about the art shared at S'abadeb.

She was also acknowledged for her incredible accomplishment of helping to bring back the Lushootseed Language, which she eventually taught to many and is being taught to this day.
The Pacific Coast Salish Art show ( "S'abadeb — The Gifts: Pacific Coast Salish Art and Artists)"
(S'abadeb pronounced Sah-BAH-deb) has an array of Puget Sound carvings, mountain goat hair wool weavings, sculptures, baskets and also features Swinomish- Tulalip photographer Matika Wilbur's black and white photos, which share a special exhibit hall with Edward S. Curtis. Curtis was famous for his own sepia toned photos of Native American's all over the United States. However, according to a recent article in the Seattle Times http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2008283855_sam19.html By Sheila Farr-Seattle Times art critic- Curtis, for the most part, staged those Native Americans photographed in traditional regalia, props and/ or settings. Matika says in the same article that many photos are staged, but when I look at her photos of some of our Elders, I was stunned at the realness of them, as far as their persona which she has captured with her lens and mind. She is able to actually show you who these Elders are (or were-one Elder, also a Veteran, since he was photographed has crossed on). As my Mom Connie Allen and I were commenting on her photos, Matika walked into the exhibit hall and her timing was uncanny. I was secretly hoping at just about this moment, that we would run into her there. We were so glad when she materialized, we were able to compliment her in person and thank her for the important work she is doing for our people. My mother, Connie Allen was especially drawn to the almost mystical- spiritual ambiance of the photo of Elder Joe McCoy who is of the shaker church faith.There is a soft light surrounding him that had to have come in from the "other side". I agreed with Mom, It is a breath-taking photo and there is no doubt that Matika has a guiding hand in the work she is doing.
There are also some items on loan to S.A.M for display at this exhibit. For example: "A small carved wood potlatch figure more than 200 years old welcomes visitors to the galleries, its hands held up in greeting. The piece serves as a powerful icon of the exhibition. Collected in 1792 by Capt. George Vancouver, the figure is now visiting its former homeland from the faraway British Museum."http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/thearts/2008303276_visart24.html Sheila Farr Seattle Times art critic). Mom and I quietly and respectfully walked by an installment called " "Soul Recovery Ceremony" by the late Gerald Bruce (subiyay) Miller-another Elder(Skokomish) who I met a few times at the NNABA(Northwest Native American Basketweaver's Assoc.) gatherings when he was alive. Seeing his name again, saddly reminded me of the fact we have lost so many of our Elders and much of our culture and all that goes with it, has crossed over with them. This show-S'abadeb, made me want to rush home to immerse myself in my own Native American artwork- cedar, beadwork, and many other mediums- clues and the keys to who I am and where I come from. Mom agreed- she said, "You weave and I will bead."
It is worth the drive to Seattle, WA to see this rare exhibit of Coast Salish mixed media and loaned collections displayed in an incorporated way.We proudly share these pictures of our time spent at the Welcoming ceremony and we are also glad to share some of our insights and critique of this exhibit. We want to encourage you to bring friends and family and visit this exhibit, more than once even. Mom and I will come back ourselves, but with a bigger van full next time. If local schools could even make this a field trip between now and before the exhibit leaves in mid January, it would help bring it "home" as far as understanding the Pacific Coast Salish culture, language, and many of our ways, that we are trying to find our way back to. There is also a companion book available that illustrates and shares background about the art shared at S'abadeb.

"Chaos is the complexity of casuality or the relationship between events. This means that any seemingly insignificant event in the universe has the potential to trigger a chain reaction that will change the whole system. A well known saying in connection with the issue is "A butterfly flapping it's wings in one part of the world can cause a hurricane on the otherside of the earth".
