Pres. Obama Reaches Out to American Indian Tribes
Posted by Medina | Labels: native american, President Obama, Whitehouse
Pres. Obama; "I know you've heard this song from Washington before. I know you’ve often heard grand promises that sound good but rarely materialize, and each time you are told, this time will be different, but over the last few years I have had a chance to speak with Native American leaders across the county about the challenges you face and those… Continue
I have been posting at http://indigenousreview.blogspot.com/ as I come across events or stories of note. Because I am a single mother of 8 children, a student, an employee and a volunteer, I do not always get the stories while they are fresh. Please feel free to contact me if you see a story or know of an event you would like to share with the community. Thank you~c
I will be away from my computer for the next few weeks and unable to answer emails, posts, comments or questions. feel free to contact Orocobia or Nanu, your network co-administrators if you have any questions or concerns. Enjoy!~c
Entering the sprawling finely manicured campus acres is like entering Zen meditation. Still, I can’t help but feel out of place, a minority student, poor, and parent of eight children, attending classes in one of (if not the) richest (and whitest) communities in the state...
I have been fearful of water all my life. There has been a reoccurring dream since I was 9 in which I drown. I am very frightened in the dream.
When I turned 40 a friend asked me to keep an eye on his kayaks while he was away from our island. I took one kayak out to Lago Guajataka and paddled across the lake. There came about a spiritual transformation on that water that cannot be put to words.
I have since spent many mornings hauling my kayak down to the water at 5 m so… Continue
43 freaking years old. Freezing my patooty off in the dark, in the rain, away from home, learning drills, trying to keep up with the experienced, or the younger, or the better, or the whatever paddlers, trying to remember not to use my kayaking techniques because I am a dragon boat racer now. Hungry, cold, wet, tired, sore, sick, frustrated at my inability to do it just like the lead coach, Alden, who never bends that inside elbow and does his trunk rotaion with perfection...
Last Wednesday my 6 month old grandaughter passed away. Possibly Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Two years ago on the same date my teen son passed away. These moments challenge us spiritually in ways we can never imagine until we are there. A well known artist in Japan and a good Canadian friend sent me a sculpted dragon (usually sells for $5,000.00 USD) in honor of my son. I was told that many Japanese believe the human spirit after death soars with… Continue

The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) celebrates one of the world's most beloved foods—chocolate. To the Maya and Aztec peoples, Theobroma cacao, as its Latin name indicates, was a "food of the gods." These programs present a rare opportunity for museum visitors to explore chocolate's culture, history, and place in contemporary society.
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
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
