By Indian Country Today. Reprinted with permission. From lawmakers, advocates and everyday citizens, people are furious over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and are organizing rallies across the country. Indigenous communities were no exception, ICT rounded up reactions from around the web. Using tribal sovereignty to bypass state restrictions is an idea largely proposed by non-Native groups and is unlikely, according to an article published Wednesday by High Country News. “Legal issues wouldn’t be the only barriers to pr...

Continued from last week… It was not only with the British that the Haudenosaunee had planted trees of peace. When Otrewati of the Onondagas spoke to governor de la Barre (Onontio or “Yonondio”) of Quebec in 1684, he used the image of the tree for a place of peace and trade: Hear, Yonondio, what I have to say is the Voice of all the Five Nations, hear what they answer, open your ears to what they speak. The Senecas and Mohawks say that when they buried the hatchet at Cadarackui, in the middle of the Fort, they planted the Tree of Peace, in th...

By Paul Hetzler Although the Grimm Brothers’ tale of Hansel and Gretel surviving alone in the woods after being abandoned by their parents is based on a grim reality – the famine of 1315 -1317 – there are compelling reasons to take kids into a forest today. As long as they are kept out of the clutches of evil witches and are brought to their respective homes right afterward. Research on the health benefits of being in a forest environment is so compelling that urban daycares in Finland “built” forests for kids to use. As part of a study on...
By Paul Hetzler First your car catches fire, and then your house. Worse yet, your date kills you and devours your flesh without so much as an apology. Yeah, spiders are creepy (I’ll explain). Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders, reportedly affects from three to six percent of us worldwide. In fact, it’s the most common phobia among humans (I assume the fear of humans is the most prevalent phobia among other animals, spiders included). Experts aren’t sure why we’re so scared of web-spinning arachnids, although evolutionary selection and family...

by Melinda Myers Every garden season is filled with beautiful and tasty surprises along with a few challenges. One challenge gardener's face each year is managing insect pests while keeping the pollinators safe. Fortunately, only a very small percent of insects in our landscapes are harmful. The rest help pollinate plants, feed upon or parasitize bad insects, or help decompose plant debris. Proper identification of the plant-damaging culprit is the first step in managing problems. Often the...
