“Many wrongs have been committed when it comes to the federal government’s relationship with tribal entities, resulting in incredible disparities. Approval of the Honoring Promises to Native Nations Act is needed for the nation to honor its legal and moral obligations and address inequities.” -The Seattle Times editorial board

Happy Haitian Independence Day. 219 years ago, Jan 1, 1804, Haiti defeated Napoleon’s Army to become the first and only successful black slave revolt in world history.

Do you know that Africa and South America were once together, but were split apart by the formation of a diverging plate boundary. This is confirmed by matches between the rocks and fossils of the two continents. Plate motion, not continents drifting, explains this. The two continents are still moving away from each other today.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.”
- Nelson Mandela, (b. 1918 - d. 2013), South African anti-apartheid activist

The Indigenous people of the Americas first domesticated the strain of corn which produces popcorn thousands of years ago.
Europeans learned about popcorn from Natives.

When Cortes invaded Mexico, and when Columbus arrived in the West Indies, each saw natives eating popcorn, as well as using it in necklaces and headdresses.

Part 2

“We Indians know about silence.
We aren’t afraid of it.
In fact, to us it is more powerful than words.
Our elders were schooled in the ways of silence, and they passed that along to us. Watch, listen, and then act, they told us.
This is the way to live. Watch the animals to see how they care for their young.
Watch the elders to see how they behave. Watch the white man to see what he wants. Always watch first, with a still heart and mind, then you will learn.
