Hilary Bonnell's Funeral ~ observations
A Funeral... A Get-together... A chance to meet and share grief, stories, and memories... only to be marked by True differences in these two Cultures, stark Truths, always evident but never spoken of...
As I try and respectfully 'sneak' in, in order to get a seat in the back of the church, to participate, I politely ask a gentle man in the entrance 'where to sit' and he points to the chairs in the back corner...
And as I look up, there they are, TV-people, acting like th… Continue

Weather Service News
mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society,
he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he
couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.

Guardian Spirits
Because Native Americans believed that supernatural powers were personal beings, they sought to establish relationships with benevolent guardian spirits. Such relationships existed across the North American continent, although they were not prominent in the Southwest. Most of the hunting and gathering peoples of North America hoped to enter intimate relationships with spirits and to win these spirits as their protectors. They also hoped to avoid spirits thought to be dangerous,… Continue

Amazing instrument, made with John Deer Tractor Parts.
Read this first, then watch.
This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa .. Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa .....Yes, farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of… Continue

ELDERS MEDITATION
Elder's Meditation of the Day November 26
"In our traditional ways, the woman is the foundation of the family."
--Haida Gwaii Traditional Circle of Elders
We must pay attention to the role of the woman in the family. She is the heartbeat of the family. She should be respected and treated in a sacred manner. We should listen to her guidance. We should help make her role easier by helping with chores or just telling her how much we appreciate her.
Great Spirit, I ask you to bless all the moms
Elder's Meditation of the Day - November 25
"People and nations who understand the Natural Law are self-governing, following the principles of love and respect that insure freedom and peace."
--Traditional Circle of Elders, NAVAJO-HOPI Joint Use Area
The Natural Laws work hand-in-hand with the circle. Each part of a circle will look to the center and will see something different. For example, if you put an irregular shaped object in the center of a circle and you have people standing in a circle around the object, each one will describe it differently. Everyone in the circle will be right. Only by honoring and respecting everyone's input, can the truth about the object be revealed. We need to learn to honor differences.
My Creator, let me honor all differences
