I Do Hope That He Is For Sale! by KaseyWolf Weaver I couldn't believe my eyes the other day as I was reading my environmental and wildlife news updates. People involved in the care and education of wildlife were already receiving inquiries on how to obtain Snowy Owls for children as pets. Yes I said pets! It seems that in keeping with our trend to keep up with the latest pet fad, Snowy Owls are topping the list this year due to the recent release of the Harry Potter movie. The popular book series turn movie features a young wizard involved in adventures and apparently has a pet owl. ---------------------------------------------------- A Healer Gladly Returns To Her Own People by Dorreen Yellow Bird On Thursday, I visited with a living tribute to UND's Indians into Medicine program. Monica Mayer, MD is proof to me that Dr. Robert Eelkema, author of this program, had exceptional insight and a vision that would reach far beyond the school. Back some 18 years ago, when I first returned to the reservation, I was sitting around the table with an old friend drinking tea and getting to know the community. Avis told me that her daughter, Monica, was considering medical school. She was a student at UND. I wondered how this young Hidatsa woman, in spite of the fact that she was exceptional, could become a medical doctor. There were none on the reservation at the time. Her father was deceased, and her mother worked as a secretary. There were few American Indian doctors nationwide. ---------------------------------------------------- Find The Cost Of Freedom by Vicki Lockard President Bush recently signed an order allowing special military tribunals to try foreigners charged with terrorism. A senior administration official said that any such trials would "not necessarily" be public and that the American tribunals might operate in Pakistan and Afghanistan. At the same time, the Justice Department has asked law enforcement authorities across the country to pick up and question 5,000 men, most from Middle Eastern countries, who entered the country legally in the last two years. --------------------------------------------------- Wounded Knee Akicita by Carter Camp On this Veterans Day I want to sent out my heartfelt thank you and continuing respect to all those Indian, Viet Nam Veterans who rallied to the defense of the Independent Oglala Nation at Wounded Knee in 1973. As one of the chosen leaders of our Nation I was honored to fight alongside proven warriors who had been to one war and came home determined to use their skills to help their people survive. Because it was the only honorable thing to do, you dug into positions from which there was no retreat. You said 'the enemy shall not pass by' and he could not. Because of the ring of steel you provided, for 73 days our people had a taste of freedom, and that strong taste still lives in the hearts of the People. ---------------------------------------------------- Enviro-rantings From An All Natural Soapbox By Jamie Lockard "Roger Herrera, with the pro-drilling group Arctic Power, said the GAO's dropping of Kenai was "a very convenient mistake" for Markley. That's because the refuge represents "a very clear example" of the compatibility of oil work and wildlife." This excerpt was taken directly from the “Anchorage Daily News” published November 16th. The refuge represents “a very clear example” of compatibility of oil work and wildlife. Apparently, Roger Herrera has his head stuck so far up his … well you get the picture. Compatibility of oil work and wildlife … every time I say this out loud, I get angrier and angrier. Who does this man think he is? I would love to see a photo of a sea lion, or an egret swimming in a 100 square mile oil slick … and liking it. I've never seen a happy black Polar Bear. Compatibility my … ---------------------------------------------------- Craft Series - Weaving- Part Two by Lynne Sageflower Pennington This article is about Finger weaving and Seneca Stick Weaving.
