Site is finally up!

After months of editing, and figuring out how to organize and build the web-site it is finally available to the world online. Tell your friends!

I have been so inspired by my native friends, my artist friends, my activist friends, my environmental warrior friends, I hope that this is a way to give some of that inspiration back.

One thing that I have been told continuously by my native friends is that it is always respected when non-indians live their own story. "Don't act like you are an indian, we want to see your culture," is a common statement. I am grateful for this advice, and have come to recognize that digital technology is a part of my culture, it can be used for destructive purposes or healing purposes. Modern technology has created a wound on the planet in many ways, hopefully it can pay for itself by bringing much healing and understanding across cultures.

So I encourage people from all backgrounds to embrace their own cultural heritage, and yes it IS true that white people are also indigenous people. We used to sit around fires and tell stories and dance under the stars before the crusades, before opressive governments and narrow-minded religions. It is time to remember that part of our heritage which is connected to the earth, and give thanks to those people who have continued to remember and kept the flame lit. It is time for us to live in a sacred way again. Yes, my computer is made with plastic and metal, but it is still birthed from the earth, all things are connected. Any tool can become a sacred instrument if it is used that way, and any sacred instrument can become a destructive weapon if it is used that way.

The very best is still to come (trust me, I've seen the footage and am buried underneath it right now). I do believe in The Lakota Prophecy that the sacred hoop of life will be mended and all nations will come together in peace one day. Please join me in this belief and let's see what we can do to make it true!
