 | The Eagle and Condor American Indian Tribes have a prophecy that World Peace will begin with the coming together of the North American Tribes (Eagle) and the South American Tribes (Condor). This occurred on the Spring Equinox in Mexico City with the Hopi, Navajo, Aztec, Mayans and others. The Hopi performed the sacred Eagle dance at Teotihuacan on the Equinox in front of dozens of other tribes and hundreds of thousands in attendance. The events were blessed by the appearance of an Eagle above the ceremony. The Eagle circled in 6 odd figure eight patterns. Created by knewways.com. |

 | Earth Healing: You can start interfaith environment projects The founder of two interfaith environment groups is often asked by people around the globe to explain the best way to start an effective similar interfaith group in their own community. Along the shores of Lake Superior, creating similar interfaith environmental groups was discussed by leaders of the Earth Healing Initiative and the Upper Peninsula Earth Keeper Initiative, both based in Marquette, Michigan. The non-profit Earth Healing Initiative provided interfaith volunteers and participants top numerous cities during the EPA Great Lakes 2008 Earth Day Challenge. The challenge involved the recycling of millions of pounds of electronics and the proper disposal of millions of pills and other pharmaceuticals in April 2008 during over 100 projects across eight states that make up the Great Lakes Basin. This warm and calm day in May 2008 produced the tiniest of ripples in an unusually calm Lake Superior as wildlife heralded spring in the background. The serene setting was perfect to discuss interfaith environment work and how it can be created in others areas of the world. Earth Healing founder Rev. Jon Magnuson co-founded the Earth Keeper Initiative that started when nine northern Michigan faith leaders signed the Earth keeper Covenant in 2004. The bishops and other faith leaders pledged to reach out to Native Americans and actively participate in interfaith environment projects. This video includes the thoughts of Rev. Jon Magnuson, director of Lutheran Campus Ministry (LCM) at Northern Michigan University (NMU) in Marquette, MI; and Rev. Tesshin Paul Lehmberg, head priest of Lake Superior Zendo, a Marquette Zen Buddhist temple; and Lutheran Bishop Thomas A. Skrenes of the Northern Great Lakes Synod (NGLS) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Rev. Lehmberg and Bishop Skrenes were among the nine original signers of the Earth keeper Covenant. The non-profit Cedar Tree Institute (CTI) co-founded the interfaith Earth Keeper Initiative in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that works closely with ten faith traditions on a wide range of environment projects that include college students, at-risk teens, American Indian tribes and others. Rev. Magnuson is the executive director of the CTI. . The CTI Interfaith Earth Healing Initiative is developing a relationship with the same faith communities in northern Michigan and others across the Great lakes. The faith communities include Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Methodist Church, Unitarian Universalist, Baha'i, Jewish, The Religious Society of Friends (commonly known as the Quakers) and Zen Buddhist. The Earth Healing Initiative assisted challenge organizers by offering interfaith liaisons to volunteer and encourage members of local churches and temples to participate in the Earth Day related events in their area. This video on the projects connected to the Great Lakes 2008 Earth Day Challenge was made possible by a grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency in collaboration with the EPA's Region 5 office in Chicago the EPA Great Lakes national Program Office - also in Chicago - in cooperation with the non-profit interfaith Earth Healing Initiative in Marquette, Michigan. The Earth Healing Initiative involves American Indian tribes and "a coalition of churches synagogues and other faith traditions joining together to heal protect and defend the environment" said Rev. Magnuson, Earth Healing founder. The next project during the summer of 2008 involves encouraging bee and butterfly pollenization through means that include creating habitat thanks to help from at-risk teens and American Indian tribes. The pollen project is important because billions of bees have died prematurely across the country and the problem has become alarming in the Midwest. More on this project in the near future. --- Interfaith Earth Healing Initiative http://www.EarthHealingInitiative.org EPA Region 5 Office in Chicago http://www.epa.gov/region5 Cedar Tree Institute http://www.CedarTreeInstitute.org The Lake Superior Interfaith Communication Network http://www.lakesuperiorinterfaith.com ELCA Northern Great Lakes Synod http://www.nglsynod.org ELCA: http://www.elca.org Earth 911: http://earth911.org/blog/2008 |
 | 1916 Native American Indian History, Culture & Myths Film This 1916 Rodman Wanamaker film chronicles the history of the Native Americans of the United States from written history up to the early 20th century. The film begins by highlighting the mythological unknown history of the Native Americans and their deep spiritual connection with the Earth. As the film progresses, it discusses daily life activities of different tribes of Native Americans. It also shows some of the ancient ceremonies performed by the Native Americans, including ceremonies to ask for the blessing of rain. As the movie comes to an ending, it takes into consideration the fact that before white men arrived in North America, there was rarely fighting between Indian tribes. Since white men arrived and began acting aggressively towards native tribes, the Native Americans naturally responded in an aggressive way. Left to the thoughts of the viewers are whether Native Americans have been given true citizenship in America. See the full length: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com |

 | Tribute to the Native Americans Words of Wisdom: "The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers, he belongs just as the buffalo belonged.... Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing respect for life, enriching faith in a Supreme Power, and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity, and brotherhood as a guide to mundane relations. You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round..... The Sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.... Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves". -Black Elk (Oglala) 1863-1950 Tribute to the Native American people....

 | Talk Talk Living in Another world The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis is one of the most significant and controversial representations of traditional American Indian culture ever produced. Issued in a limited edition from 1907-1930, the publication continues to exert a major influence on the image of Indians in popular culture. Curtis said he wanted to document "the old time Indian, his dress, his ceremonies, his life and manners." In over 2000 photogravure plates and narrative, Curtis portrayed the traditional customs and lifeways of eighty Indian tribes. The twenty volumes, each with an accompanying portfolio, are organized by tribes and culture areas encompassing the Great Plains, Great Basin, Plateau Region, Southwest, California, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. Featured here are all of the published photogravure images including over 1500 illustrations bound in the text volumes, along with over 700 portfolio plates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mission of the Library of Congress is to make its resources available and useful to Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations.

 | Indian Rights & Discrimination Of Native Americans (1919) According to this movie, Native American life has changed drastically since the Western European cultures arrived. The US government has put the groups on reservations and has now mandated the each reservation raise the American flag everyday. In this film, we see the first ceremony of raising the flag. The five groups put up five flags on the same pole on the first morning. The Native American groups seem to be taking to the new chore well. Some have even gone so far as to kiss the flag to show their dedication. According to this film, Native Americans still hope for better treatment in society. It says that nothing will improve their lives more than constitutional rights that they unjustly do not receive now. See the full length video at: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com |
