"We Have Many Voices" Ezine Greetings, the bimonthly ezine "We Have Many Voices" has been updated, we bring you the news behind the news. To read the articles in their entirety visit: "We Have Many Voices" Ezine <A HREF="http://www.turtletrack.org/ManyVoices/";>http://www.turtletrack.org/ManyVoices/</A> A brief description of each article is listed below: ---------------------------------------------------- In Norton We Trust???? by Vicki Lockard I have included the text of these speeches because I, like many in Indian country find it amazing that these people stood before the National Congress of American Indians and actually said these things. Who are they trying to kid? Let's go back and look at what has been happening with the "Trust Fund" monies. The fund manages royalties from mining, grazing, timber harvesting and other activities on 54 million acres of Indian land held in trust by the Interior Department since 1887. Payments were supposed to be made to the individual Indian beneficiaries, but much of the money was lost, misappropriated, stolen or never collected. ---------------------------------------------------- Marion's by John Rustywire In every community I suppose there is a place like Marion's. It is downtown, on mainstreet I guess you could call it in a small town with just a few streets that crisscross each other. The front of the place is painted white, the only place with a porch painted white with victorian turn of the century gingerbread pattern cutouts decorating the outside. The four posts that hold up the porch used to be where horses and buggies were tied up along time ago. There is a single door and inside there are treasures. ---------------------------------------------------- I Care. Do You? by Kasey Weaver I care. Do you? This was the theme for World AIDS Day held on December 1, 2001. Since 1988, the first day in December has been set aside internationally as a day to bring a message of hope, unity, tolerance and compassion throughout the world. Each year it is a day set-aside for a coordinated effort by the entire world against AIDS. ---------------------------------------------------- On Sovereignty and Citizenship By Carter Camp Our lands, natural resources and governance are controlled by quasi-sovereign entities that have evolved from the U.S. Supreme Courts' continuing interpretation of the Treaties between our Governments and the American Constitutions' few words regarding Native Nations. In modern times many laws passed by Congress and the various Presidential decrees and "Indian Policies" have modified these rulings. Over the years these "Tribal Governments" have taken their nebulous place alongside the other sovereignties which make up the United States, its' Territories and Possessions. However our place as citizens of America has never been truly defined. Ex-President Ronald Reagan declared that our Tribal governments possessed sovereignty "equal to the States in their jurisdictions" while the reality is something much less. Some of our own people claim we still posses complete political independence, which sounds good in principle but fails in practice. But if our governments and our people are to truly become active participants in America and full American citizens we need to solve some basic problems and answer some basic questions about our place in America. ---------------------------------------------------- Enviro-rantings From An All Natural Soapbox By Jamie Lockard I scour the papers each and every day searching for environmental injustices of the earth. It doesn’t usually take me long. In fact, the hardest job I have is decided who is the most evil of the week. It would much simpler if I had a sidekick to send up some kind of signal. The Recycle-Signal. “ Quick… to the environ-mobile!!! Must…fight…toxic waste! Come Leafboy let us be off to conquer the evil Dr. PCB!” It would be easy because my uniform would be earth tones and camouflage. The bad guys would never see me coming. I’d love to see the look of the US Congress-person’s faces when I showed up in that get-up. Every once in awhile, a great while, I come across a case of the good guys winning. It seems to me too often that the EPA or some other government watchdog gets to bark really, really loudly, but they never get to sink their teeth into the bad guys. Well, not this time. ---------------------------------------------------- Craft Series - Ribbonwork- Part Two by Lynne Sageflower Pennington In this article I am going to talk about the different styles of ribbonwork, I am going to give examples of how to prepare your ribbons for the technique, you can experiment with it like I did before I attempted a big project. I am also going show you some templates you can use, I have added color to the templates so you can see the negative-positive affect. ---------------------------------------------------- The Stoic Indian by Paul Barry In each issue, you will find a funny story here. Perhaps, even a true story or one with a moral. ---------------------------------------------------- Moccasin Telegraph - News of Interest from Indian Country Gathered by Raven Weaver ---------------------------------------------------- To Subscribe, or Unsubscribe, send email to <A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED],?subject=Unsubscribe Many Voice Updates">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A> and place either "Subscribe" or "Unsubscribe" in the subject line and "Many Voices" in the body of the email.
