It's about hunting and conservation battles across the U.S., with a focus on the West, especially New Mexico and Montana (in MT, esp. Glacier National Park v.Blackfeet). The last two chapters of the book focus on the story of the ceded strip and its consequences.Mary Strachan Scriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538160009129822362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11838465.post-14579041465832892162009-08-22T17:26:50.492-06:002009-08-22T17:26:50.492-06:00PS.

I have ideas on how this could be done based on traditional ways of some of the warrior cultures. I mean, you didn't hear much (any?) about Blackfeet warriors in traditional times coming home after a brutal war and flying into a depression or rage or suicidal state and attacking their loved ones. While FINALLY some folks are looking at TREATMENT after soldiers' return home through traditional sweats, ceremonies etc, the part of the equation that is missing is PREPARATION of soldier and soldier's family BEFORE sending them over. This is the part that is missing from current models.Lance M.

There are lots of claims on public lands, such as the National Forests. They have to do a minimum amount of work every year to keep the claims current. The lands are still public UNTIL they attain such proof of the value of the claim that it can be patented, and a PATENT then removes the claim from public ownership and the claim becomes private property.Lance M.

I’m going to argue that a society, particularly a twenty-first century developed society, that can incorporate an animistic world-view into its thinking would allow those individuals currently diagnosed with core mental health problems (such as schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and others) a very different experience of the world, and that this in turn would allow such a society to recognise the value of their experiences in new and constructive ways.<br />...“I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” -Kurt Vonnegut<br />...I’m NOT going to argue that all suffering would suddenly cease and that the world would be a rosy place. But it would be a very different one."<br /><br />From http://www.animystic.org.uk/2009/08/15/towards-an-animistic-view-of-mental-illness/Lance M.
