LAIR OF HUNTERBEAR -- our very large social justice website at www.hunterbear.org -- continues to feather out substantially. This is simply a small sampling of very new things:
The number of visitors to our website has increased very substantially. There are many solid link-ups with other sites around the world. We're hit, I should add, by frequent hacking attacks and related expressions of great ill-will. But we also maintain top-of-the-line, consistently up-dated security protection: recently installing the very latest -- 2002, automatic updating -- firewall and anti-virus security dimensions for all our computers. But first, two other announcements: No arrests have yet been made in the September 2001 murders of Native American men at Grand Forks, North Dakota -- and this rank and sorry situation is heating fast. My substantial discussion of this tragedy and its colossal example of law enforcement dereliction is carried at both the DSA Anti-Racism Commission [Our Struggle/Nuestra Lucha] website and our Lair of Hunterbear website's Native American Commission of SPUSA pages -- and those links are given a bit further down in this message. ALBERTA CLIPPER, my oldest son, John Salter's, substantial compilation of his excellent short stories and published by Livingston Press at University of West Alabama in both cloth and paper, is now appearing. [His parents, however, have not yet been given the copies they assume they'll receive -- and know they will!] Anyway, it's a very solid work indeed and becoming available at this point via conventional sources -- including all of those on-line. See his own developing website at http://johnsalter.org/ And now, to our own LAIR OF HUNTERBEAR: The Directory/Index [ just inside] http://www.hunterbear.org/directory.htm is always quite up-to-date in totality -- with most of the new stuff listed in the far upper portion of that. Here are a few recent highlights with their own specific page links: There are many new Native American pieces of mine -- some broadly posted on discussion lists, some not. An example is NATIVE AMERICAN DISCUSSION STUFF: TRIBALISM, CLASS, MEXICO, SOUTHERN TRIBES, ANGLO HUNGER http://www.hunterbear.org/native_american_discussion_stuff.htm Our Socialist Party USA Native American Commission pages are developing nicely: http://www.hunterbear.org/native_american_commission_page.htm The always excellent DSA Anti-Racism Commission [Our Struggle/Nuestra Lucha] website contains, in its Editorials Section, a substantial and recent organizing and strategy piece of mine: ORGANIZING AND VOTER ED: TOUGH, TEDIOUS, AND VITAL http://www.hunterbear.org/Our%20Struggle%20Nuestra%20Lucha.htm And in that very same Editorials section of the Anti-Racism website, don't miss Commission Chair Duane Campbell's excellent and very timely piece on Cesar Chavez: César Chávez: "Presente" Same link as above: http://www.hunterbear.org/Our%20Struggle%20Nuestra%20Lucha.htm The very much visited Woolworth Sit-In [Mississippi Movement history] portion has been substantially expanded -- with additional pictures of our being attacked and of the mob: http://www.hunterbear.org/Woolworth%20Sitin%20Jackson.htm See the very ancient aboriginal and very authentic folk with whom I grew up -- at Tezcatlipoca and the Traveling Deity: http://www.hunterbear.org/Tezcatlipoca.htm One of my very recent accounts has been extremely well received -- with numerous kind and complimentary messages: This is "Change Can Come -- and Good Change Will: A Southern Tale" and, in case you missed it, here it is at http://www.hunterbear.org/panthers.htm Very well received, especially by union organizers and other activists, has been UNIONS, NATIVES, TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY http://www.hunterbear.org/Unions,%20Workers,%20Tribal%20Sovereignty.htm A larger section in our website involves the life and times of the always excellent International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. Important in its own right, this great saga carries many critically important lessons for these embattled times. I've been rounding out portions of this: e.g., the section on the always courageous and committed Maurice E. Travis. The basic Mine-Mill section begins at http://www.hunterbear.org/reflections_on_finns_and_finnish.htm In this Mine-Mill dimension, I've enlarged the portion on the very fine and enduring film, "Salt of the Earth." I've added a quite clear and specially done photo of a very rare poster I have advertising the film: It depicts Juan Chacon, Mine-Mill local leader and male lead in the splendid and courageous IUMMSW 1953-54 film: worker rights, minority rights, women's rights -- with the backdrop of determined, picketing miners' wives. This is a very large and really great 1957 USSR poster at one of the many points "Salt" played extensively in the USSR [as it did throughout much of the whole wide world -- even while cruelly and systematically blacklisted from virtually every commercial movie theatre in the United States.] I own this poster [it's right here] which is 25.5 inches by 37 inches -- with a very stirring Dark Red Background. http://www.hunterbear.org/salt.htm My discussion of academic freedom -- centering on a critically contemporary case -- is PROFESSOR SAMI AL-ARIAN, TENURE, ATTACKS -- AND A PERSONAL NORTH DAKOTA MENTION at http://www.hunterbear.org/organizer_4.htm For contemporary racist Arizona border doings, see "Racist stuff in Cochise County, some labor history, and the eternally good words of George W.P. Hunt" http://www.hunterbear.org/western_issues_2.htm For some outdoor things -- from a Native perspective -- here's WOLFSKIN ROBE, GUNS, DRUM, STONE AXE, STETSON, PIPE http://www.hunterbear.org/wolfskin.htm And my Personal Background Narrative is always being updated: http://www.hunterbear.org/narrative.htm Fraternally and In Solidarity - Hunter Gray [Hunterbear] www.hunterbear.org _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
