And of course ...Hey Buddy!<BR/><BR/>Nice to see you drop by. And of course - how can we go to pow wow and not have you in mind? This one's going to be an interesting one coming up as the organizers have said, 'no thank you" to $ and sponsorship and 'no thank you' to the university for exploiting the native community and simultaneously using the photo op of the pow wow as the university photo of diversity. Michigamua is not forgotten. Remains still need to be returned and the pow wow committee has disassociated itself with university sponsorship.<BR/><BR/>And the politics unfold....<BR/><BR/>You'd find it interesting.<BR/><BR/>Love ya Popeye!

A mexica elder of mine has visited there and told me about the similarities between Cahokia and Teotihuacan - north of Mexico City where the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon are. He says they were built by the same peoples and is further evidence of a unified land, a unified people reaching far back before borders were arbitrarily drawn.<BR/><BR/>My family for instance: one day they were Mexican citizens - and after the Mexican-American war and the Treaty of Hidalgo, became US citizens - all without crossing a border. The border crossed them in the arbitrary way that borders are prone to.<BR/><BR/>And long before that, some of the same people who built Teotihuacan, their relatives were perhaps building Cahokia.<BR/><BR/>><><><<BR/><BR/>Yeah, next time go stand next to the drum. Don't be shy. Done respectfully, it's very much allowed.el poquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835166474061862319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154924357171193938.post-72031207969964093492009-02-17T12:36:00.000-05:002009-02-17T12:36:00.000-05:00Well, that made me smile deep!

I have been to the powwow and I have been transported...out of place, out of time, out of self. But I did not stand next to the drum. Next time, for sure.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139495675873829583noreply@blogger.com
