"Indian blood has been shed in every war since the Revolution," said Gerry Hill, past president of the American Indian Bar Association. Hill addressed a small but rapt crowd Saturday at Valparaiso University. His lecture was part of the Native American Festival, which included food and entertainment. "After having our land stolen, we still went to war," Hill said. "We were able to put aside disputes over treaties, because we're still Americans." Lest We Forget by Jamie Lockard Tuesday, September 11, 2001, was an absolutely unbelievable day. I am still not sure that emotionally I have completely accepted the fact that it happened. I am confident that the US Government and the UN Security Council will handle the matter accordingly. In the meantime I think that the best thing we can do is have faith in our government, watch and wait and conduct ourselves as Americans. The whole world is watching. Genocide and Native Americans by Raven Weaver "... every redskin must be killed from off the face of the plains before we can be free from molestation's. They are of no earthly good and the sooner they are swept from the land the better for civilization" - 1866 I began this research by looking up in the dictionary, and in the encyclopedia for the meaning of the word Genocide.

The Danger of Chemical and Biological Weapons by Kasey Weaver Sadly, one of the universal traits of human beings is our ability to kill and destroy. Over the centuries we have seen some of the greatest developments of technology and advancement in science due to war or a desire to have a more crippling weapon. Weapons have become bigger, faster and deadlier. Yet the most devastating of all weapons might come in the smallest of packages. The use of chemical or biological agents as a weapon of war has become the critical focus of many. The smallest amounts delivered by the most obscure methods could ravage thousands, even millions of people, animal and plants. You Have Diabetes....Now What? "Pima Indians: A Case Study" by Greg Morago The Hartfort Courant"It's in the blood. The blood of ancestors that carries a time bomb. The blood of my mother, both my grandmothers, my sister and dozens of relatives bound by an inherited disease. It's in my blood, too - a genetic predisposition to obesity, which is a major risk factor for diabetes. Diabetes has marked generations of my family and my tribe, the Pima Indians of southern Arizona. We Pimas - cruelly targeted by a genetic quirk that has caused us to have the highest rate of diabetes in the world - have long lived with the kidney disease, blindness and amputations that attend diabetes. And, of course, the death. Craft Series - Quillwork - Part One by Lynne Sageflower Pennington Over the next several months I will be starting articles about Dance Regalia-Plains and Woodland Styles.
