I'd like to meet:FELLOW ANTI-NUCLEAR ACTIVISTS
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word The people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our government. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government better get out of the way and let them have it. Dwight Eisenhower, 1959 In the name of God, let us abolish nuclear weapons. New Abolitionist Covenant We are the curators of life on earth, standing at a crossroads in time. We must awake from our false sense of security and commit ourselves to using democracy constructively to save the human species. Helen Caldicott We reject violence completely, because the structural violence caused by this decision to place these missiles or to continue the arms race on both sides is violence. Petra Kelly To end the danger of nuclear war the nations must not merely freeze nuclear weapons but abolish them. Randall Forsberg We must protest if we are to survive. Protest is the only realistic form of civil defense. E. P. Thompson PLEDGE "I, Harold J. One Feather, pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider and will try to improve these aspects of any organizations for which I work." PLEASE SUPPORT REFORMING THE 1872 MINING LAW http://www.earthworksaction.org/1872.cfmThe 1872 Mining Law is the cause of all of our nation's environmental devastation, allowing hardrock mining companies the legal right to extract gold, silver, uranium and other minerals from National Parks and other public lands; although without paying any royalties or guaranteeing reclamation of their mines.Generally the hardrock mining companies, rather than reclaiming their devastation, declare bankruptcy, leaving their responsibilities to the public and the US EPA Superfund (which I must add is also just as bankrupt).Support Earthworks and the Westerners for Responsible Mining actions to reform this antiquated legislation for our future generation to enjoy a safe environment. |

Heroes:IktomiIn Lakota mythologyAccording to the Lakota, Iktomi is the son of Inyan, rock. Inyan is a creator god similar in form to other male creator gods. Iktomi has a younger brother, called Iya, who is a destructive and powerful spirit. One story of Iktomi goes that in the ancient days, Iktomi was Ksa, or wisdom, but he was stripped of this title and became Iktomi because of his troublemaking ways. He began playing malicious tricks because people would jeer at his strange or funny looks. Most of his schemes end with him falling into ruin when his intricate plans backfire. These tales are usually told as a way to teach lessons to Lakota youth. Because it is Iktomi, a respected (or perhaps feared) deity playing the part of the idiot or fool, and the story is told as entertainment, the listener is allowed to reflect on misdeeds without feeling like they are being confronted. In other tales, Iktomi is depicted with dignity and seriousness, such as in the popularized myth of the dreamcatcher.The tales of Iktomi's propensity for mischief leads many without a full understanding of Native American mythology to believe that he is an evil figure, however, it is not quite that simple. Iktomi can be seen as both good and bad, and has been portrayed in both ways. Many other Native American trickster spirits, like Mica (Coyote) are often victims of the same misconception. Despite Lakota not expressing hysteria or extreme fear towards Iktomi, generally he is viewed as a being whose gaze is to be avoided, lest trouble find you; as depicted in the modern film "Skins", directed by Cheyenne-Arapaho director Chris Eyre.Iktomi is a shapeshifter. He can use strings to control humans like puppets. He has also the power to make potions that change gods, gain control over people and trick gods and mortals. Mika or Coyote is his great accomplice in all of this, though there are times when he behaves seriously and comes to the aid of the Lakota people, there are instances where he gives the people ways to protect from evil, live a better life with technology, or warn them of danger.Lakota mythology is a living belief system, still subscribed to by both the Lakota and some outsiders, including Caucasians. There is a prophecy that stated Iktomi would spread his web over the land. Today, this has been interpreted by some contemporary Native Americans to mean the telephone network, and then the internet and world wide web. Iktomi has been considered by the Lakota from time immemorial to be the patron of new technology, from his invention of language he gave to the people to today's modern inventions, such as the computer or robots. Many Lakota today consider Iktomi to be the god of the Europeans, who (they claim) seem to readily follow in his (to them) bizarre behavior and self entrapping tricks.Because the Lakota mythology is word of mouth, and traditionally there were no written records, most of the information about Iktomi in Lakota mythology has not been written down or recorded. He has lived on in the retelling of tales and the religious traditions which are passed on from generation to generation, into the modern day. |
