noticias (2) Animal Smugglers - English

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – From the live snakes that smugglers stuff with packets of cocaine to the white tigers drug lords keep as exotic pets, rare animals are being increasingly sucked into Mexico's deadly narcotics trade.

Drug gang leaders like to show off rarities like sea turtle skin boots and build ostentatious private zoos at their mansions.

They also reap additional profits by sharing routes with animal traffickers who cram humming birds into cigarette packs and baby… Continue

Would you like to participate in dream research?

I am collecting data for my Ph.D. dissertation research. For this particular research I am looking for participants who have experienced Shared Dreaming. This is when two people have the same dream. For this research participants must be born in the United States (this includes territories too, of course), must be 18 years or older, and have been in an intimate relationship with the person with whom they experienced the Shared… Continue

Sharing American Indian/Indigenous News, Issues and Special Features

In 2000, I started my publication, My Two Beads Worth, on a free website host and then in 2001, I obtained a private host so I could do more and have more room. This is the 8th year of publication. It is non-profit and I will not accept donations or apply for grants for its publication costs. It's something I wanted to do in honor of my Ancestors and to give something back. I do all the work myself, so sometimes, the work involved can be somewhat overwhelming, but it's well worth it. I have… Continue

My Pledge of Allegiance

My Pledge of Allegiance

I pledge allegiance to Creator and to the path Creator has put me on. I pledge allegiance to my family, to my ancestors who walked before me and to my future generations who will walk after me.

Decolonizing Bolivia

Bolivians back new, pro-indigenous constitution

AP, January 25, 2009

LA PAZ, Bolivia – Bolivian voters embraced a new constitution Sunday that promises more power for the poor indigenous majority and grants leftist President Evo Morales a shot at remaining in office through 2014.

But the charter's low support in Bolivia's lowland east — which controls much of the nation's wealth and fiercely opposes Morales' plans to empower long-suffering highland… Continue

Part Two - my soul is in the water...

6 am Monday: We took a short hike through the woods to the edge of

the wetlands. Days of heavy rains gifted us opportunity to board our

kayaks between submerged trees in the tropical forest. We cut through

the water droplets that hung in a heavy mist over the still and quiet lake

on this cold autumn morning. The sun greeted us rising slowly over the

mountains to our east as we entered the open waters of the lake.

The lake is a chameleon from morning to night.… Continue

By request... my soul is in the water

Shared Intimacy

5 am alarm rings. Suffering with a low grade fever, I sit up in the bed.

My body longs to remain in the warmth of my soft blankets. Reaching

for the alarm sitting next to the bottle of ibuprofen, I am reminded of the

migraine I had just two nights ago. I begin to second guess today's trip.

Stress and depression lurk just outside my door, hovering, waiting for a

chance to pounce. The mounting bills, life's stressors, and my… Continue

New Era Of Far-Reaching Change

Tau MY Relatives

This weekend the South American continent will witness more of the same phenomenon that is sweeping this hemisphere since the early 1990's. This new installment on what appears to be a region-wide movement comes fast on the heels of the miracle that took place this past November in the U.S., the miracle that saw one of the last true Apartheid nations of the world actually elect a black man to the highest office of government. In… Continue

You Are On Indian Land

You Are on Indian Land

Mort Ransen, 1969, 36 min 48 s

The film shows the confrontation between police and a 1969 demonstration by Mohawks of the St. Regis Reserve on the bridge between Canada and the United States near Cornwall, Ontario. By blocking traffic on the bridge, which is on the Reserve, the Indians drew public attention to their grievance that they were prohibited by Canadian authorities from duty-free passage of personal purchases across the border,… Continue

On a July day in 1990, a confrontation propelled Native issues in Kanehsatake and the village of Oka, Quebec, into the international spotlight.

This powerful documentary takes you right into the action of an age-old Aboriginal… Continue

New Chat Function, Other News

Just to state the obvious, this network has a new chat function. The previous chat room, which was external to the network, has been closed. Luckily, we now have a solution that appears to be better than all previous attempts.

The settings for this network have now been set to private. Exchanges can longer be freely seen by anyone on the Internet, nor searched and cached by entities like Google. Initially, the openness of the network was to allow others to benefit from the many… Continue

INVITATION TO ADMINISTER THIS NETWORK

It would seem that at least one person is not happy with my work with this network, and issues of "ownership" have been raised. As with the Caribbean Amerindian Centrelink, and Kacike, I have been actively seeking to transfer these resources. The proof of the latter facts is to be found within the Groups in this network by the way, specifically:…

AN AMAZING DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

Today is am amazing day in the history of the US - Barack Obama will take the oath of office as President in about an hour's time. For those of us, who have lived through the Civil Rights Movement, this is a monumental event and shows that united, working together and never giving up hope for equality and justice, we are seeing a man of color assuming the highest office in this land.

Yesterday, was Martin Luther King Day, and how well I can… Continue

RECOMMENDED CODE OF CONDUCT

Dear Network Members,

as the site administrator it was never my intention to moderate discussions, nor monitor every utterance for any possible inappropriate or offensive statement, as I considered that rude, intrusive, and presumptuous.

At the urging of now more than a few dozen members, I have been asked that at least a rudimentary code of conduct be established. Of greatest concern, that is, the concerns that repeated themselves across what were 37 messages at last… Continue

NO PERSONAL INSULTS IN THIS NETWORK, EVER.

Just a caution, for those who need it;

Any sign of continued personal insults between members will lead to the banning of those persons. There seems to be a marked degeneration in the quality of discussion here, very much in contrast with the cheerful, constructive, and productive experiences that dominated early on.

As the person who initially set up this network, I cannot tolerate seeing it become another hate site for flamers. For those who are new here, show some… Continue
