By Ruth Steinberger-Part of a series originally published in the Lakota Journal. Used with Permission <http://www.lakotajournal.com/> While freedom of religion is federally protected under the Bill of Rights, and for Native Americans these rights were secured through the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978, a recent survey revealed that for incarcerated Native American youth, this right may be treated as a privilege, or may be unavailable altogether. The 1993 revision of this Act included religious rights for prisoners. ---------------------------------------------------- Big Purse, Big Problems; Little Purse, Big Problems by Dorreen Yellow Bird <http://web.northscape.com/> I have come to believe that as our bodies shrink with age, our purses grow in size. Both are symptoms of getting older. I used to carry this big 20-pound, brown leather purse that I'd bought on sale at Wilson Leather until its weight lowered the right side of my body a couple of inches and injured my knee.

Here, in the United States, exact numbers are not known. In 1994, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) published figures of 12,992 cases, reported to them, 10% of which were fatal. However, these numbers are far from precise, as individual states are not required to advise the CDC of meningitis cases. Although large outbreaks in the United States are uncommon, worldwide meningitis has caused epidemics. Of the 1.2 million cases of bacterial meningitis, approximately 500,000 of these cases were due to the meningococcus meningitis--the only form of bacterial meningitis that causes epidemics. While meningitis can occur at any time, most occurrences of bacterial meningitis occur in the winter months (November-March) and viral meningitis in the summer. ---------------------------------------------------- Hey! There’s Asbestos in my Soup This Issue’s Enviro-rantings From an All Natural Soapbox By Jamie Lockard I work in construction. I know, I know…boo hiss right? Well, I don’t run the bulldozer, so the hostility is mis-directed. Actually, one of our projects is developing mass alternative energy sources…so there. Anyway, I bring this up not to attract negative attention toward myself, but to give you the inside scoop on what is about to happen with the industry. ---------------------------------------------------- Craft Series - Weaving- Part One by Lynne Sageflower Pennington There are several ways to weave from using a loom to weaving with your fingers.
