THEY NEVER LEARN.
2009.09.25 04:59:50

Stolen artifacts returned to area tribes- Spokane
 
Native American artifacts and human remains once illegally up for sale have now been returned to local tribal leaders.

Last year Newport resident Kenneth Milette pleaded guilty to selling the artifacts and tribal leaders couldn't be happier to have some of their sacred artifacts back. Dozens of artifacts were officially returned to the Nez Perce, Spokane, Colville and Coeur d'Alene tribes Thursday afternoon.

"The tribe is very respectful of our ancestors and we want to keep it that way. With anyone's ancestors, you want to keep it. No one wants you to dig up their great, great grandparents and take what they may have had at that time and try to make a profit off of it," Spokane Tribal Chairman Greg Abrahamson said.

Unfortunately the number of artifacts recovered represents just a small percentage of items taken from the reservations.

Members of the tribes also thanked the investigators for their hard work as it took several years of undercover work to put an end to the illegal operation.

In January of 2008 Kenneth Milette of Newport was charged with illegally possessing and selling Native American artifacts and human remains. Milette pled guilty to those charges, and is now serving a three year supervised release sentence.

He also has to pay $17,000 in restitution and fines.

 WHEN ARE THEY EVER GOING TO LEARN ?

Hey, to everyone out there, how's everyone? I'm good, still working at the job, I've had the last few years. It's been on year since the finish of the Longest Walk 2 in Washington, D.C. and my significant other went on it and completed the walk. She's very happy she went on it. She said she wanted to go on the first one but couldn't. I remember the first walk in 1978, it was an experience of a lifetime, I made friends that I've kept in contact with over the years. That was one of the benefits of the walk, I met friends and colleagues that I met had I not gone on the Walk. Many of my friends have passed on to the spirit world but their memories are safe with me. Thank you all for standing up for our other Indian brothers and sisters.

Caught up in technical problems
2009.04.02 20:16:55

Hello,

 We are creating a blog for the Chumash language were people will be able to learn the Chumash language and discuss their feelings of the Carpinteria Mascot. The sight is up, but we are working on it, as you read this.

My friend and teacher tells me not to worry about the technical stuff (he says, "leave the technical stuff to me, and you just write to the blog") but somehow my laptop seems to suck me in, and I want to make the sight work myself. Right now, I am in a place where I could beat my head against a wall, because I can't put an applet up on Wordpress. Hopefully by the time you read this I will have figured it out and it will be up.

Richard Aoki 1938-2009
2009.03.19 16:28:31

“…Based on my experience, I’ve seen where unity amongst the races has

yielded positive results. I don’t see any other way for people to gain

freedom, justice, and equality here except by being internationalist.”

– Richard Aoki

 

Richard Masato Aoki, 1938-2009.

Fearless Leader and Servant of the People

 

It is with deep sadness that we inform you that Richard Aoki, due to

complications from longstanding medical problems, passed away on March

15, 2009.

 

Born on November 20, 1938, Richard was a righteous fighter and a

warrior in the truest sense – he dedicated his life to his beliefs and

the struggle for human rights.  He was a field marshal in the Black

Panther Party, a founding member of the Asian American Political

Alliance, a leader in the Third World Liberation Front Strike at UC

Berkeley, co-ordinator for the first Asian American Studies program at

UC Berkeley, an advisor for Asians for Job Opportunities, a counselor,

instructor and administrator at Merritt and Alameda Colleges.

 

We will remember him for the personal impact he made on our lives and

the social impact he made on the community movements of people of all

colors...

 

Henry Dong

Richard Aoki Commemorative Committee

======================

Rest In Peace, Brother

We will never forget

We will never be silent

Racism against the Coeur d'Alene's.


http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews/2007/09/victim_mother_share_harassment.html

LEWISTON -- A 13-year-old Native American girl and her mother say they have been constantly harassed since the girl was beaten.

 Also had a young native beaten in an unprovoked attack by a couple of "skinheads" (skinhead = ignorant morons ) about a year ago.

Makes me wonder when thier "modern, civilized society" is going to show itself.
