I know that some of you may have formed some doubts about POTUS President Joe Biden and his 90-minute debate performance, but it's equally if not more true about the failed behaviors of tRump's repetitiveness of lies, conspiracy fear-mongering, and inabilities to Answer Any Question based on truth, facts, or historical references without distortion and whining.

You cannot discount the GOOD work already completed by this Democratic Administration, in terms of extending and protecting People's rights. This conservative purge of laws, truth, and cultural diversity has also been the dark underside of Americans who want to fear, hate, and discriminate to make themselves feel more empowered over other people who are less fortunate than they are.
In other words, the party of American Whiners will seek vengeance even if it means voting for a 'convicted- ra**st and dictator. WTH

Americans, who care about all of our ancestors' struggles to protect and preserve our freedoms under a Constitutional Democratic heritage of laws and regulations, must never accept the rantings of a psychopath, convicted ra**st, and wanna-be dictatorship of vengeance.

tRump has never acted alone, but rather he's been able to retain his cartel support of 'filthy-rich' corporate monopolists who also want to destroy our Federal government regulations which protect all citizens from their toxic, business practices which have been ripping us off , like never before, since the 1980s.

The same scum SCOTUS judges who are shielding him from the truth of his madness, have all come out of right-wing, rich clubs like The Heritage Foundation.

Too bad our white culture teaches younger people to demean, or laugh at, our own elders instead of respecting what they have to share from real life experiences, not just video and tech materialism.

This is written by Chief Dan George,
In the course of my lifetime I have lived in two distinct cultures. I was born into a culture that lived in communal houses. My grandfather’s house was eighty feet long. It was called a smoke house, and it stood down by the beach along the inlet. All my grandfather’s sons and their families lived in this dwelling. Their sleeping apartments were separated by blankets made of bull rush weeds, but one open fire in the middle served the cooking needs of all. In houses like these, throughout the tribe, people learned to live with one another; learned to respect the rights of one another. And children shared the thoughts of the adult world and found themselves surrounded by aunts and uncles and cousins who loved them and did not threaten them. My father was born in such a house and learned from infancy how to love people and be at home with them.
And beyond this acceptance of one another there was a deep respect for everything in nature that surrounded them. My father loved the earth and all its creatures. The earth was his second mother. The earth and everything it contained was a gift from See-see-am…and the way to thank this great spirit was to use his gifts with respect.
I remember, as a little boy, fishing with him up Indian River and I can still see him as the sun rose above the mountain top in the early morning…I can see him standing by the water’s edge with his arms raised above his head while he softly moaned…”Thank you, thank you.” It left a deep impression on my young mind.
And I shall never forget his disappointment when once he caught me gaffing for fish “just for the fun of it.” “My son” he said, “The Great Spirit gave you those fish to be your brothers, to feed you when you are hungry. You must respect them. You must not kill them just for the fun of it.”
This then was the culture I was born into and for some years the only one I really knew or tasted. This is why I find it hard to accept many of the things I see around me.
I see people living in smoke houses hundreds of times bigger than the one I knew. But the people in one apartment do not even know the people in the next and care less about them.
It is also difficult for me to understand the deep hate that exists among people. It is hard to understand a culture that justifies the killing of millions in past wars, and it at this very moment preparing bombs to kill even greater numbers. It is hard for me to understand a culture that spends more on wars and weapons to kill, than it does on education and welfare to help and develop.
It is hard for me to understand a culture that not only hates and fights his brothers but even attacks nature and abuses her.
I see my white brothers going about blotting out nature from his cities. I see him strip the hills bare, leaving ugly wounds on the face of mountains. I see him tearing things from the bosom of mother earth as though she were a monster, who refused to share her treasures with him. I see him throw poison in the waters, indifferent to the life he kills there; and he chokes the air with deadly fumes.
My white brother does many things well for he is more clever than my people but I wonder if he has ever really learned to love at all. Perhaps he only loves the things that are outside and beyond him. And this is, of course, not love at all, for man must love all creation or he will love none of it. Man must love fully or he will become the lowest of the animals. It is the power to love that makes him the greatest of them all…for he alone of all animals is capable of love.
Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love our self esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world. Instead we turn inwardly and begin to feed upon our own personalities and little by little we destroy ourselves.
You and I need the strength and joy that comes from knowing that we are loved. With it we are creative. With it we march tirelessly. With it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.
There have been times when we all wanted so desperately to feel a reassuring hand upon us…there have been lonely times when we so wanted a strong arm around us…I cannot tell you how deeply I miss my wife’s presence when I return from a trip. Her love was my greatest joy, my strength, my greatest blessing.
I am afraid my culture has little to offer yours. But my culture did prize friendship and companionship. It did not look on privacy as a thing to be clung to, for privacy builds walls and walls promote distrust. My culture lived in a big family community, and from infancy people learned to live with others.
My culture did not prize the hoarding of private possessions, in fact, to hoard was a shameful thing to do among my people. The Indian looked on all things in nature as belonging to him and he expected to share them with others and to take only what he needed.
Everyone likes to give as well as receive. No one wishes only to receive all the time. We have taken something from your culture…I wish you had taken something from our culture…for there were some beautiful and good things in it.
Soon it will be too late to know my culture, for integration is upon us and soon we will have no values but yours. Already many of our young people have forgotten the old ways. And many have been shamed of their Indian ways by scorn and ridicule. My culture is like a wounded deer that has crawled away into the forest to bleed and die alone.
The only thing that can truly help us is genuine love. You must truly love, be patient with us and share with us. And we must love you—with a genuine love that forgives and forgets…a love that gives the terrible sufferings your culture brought ours when it swept over us like a wave crashing along a beach…with a love that forgets and lifts up its head and sees in your eyes an answering love of trust and acceptance.
This is brotherhood…anything less is not worthy of the name.
I have spoken.

Our first Family Haircut day in Nathaniel's New Barbershop !

There was a time when almost every rural British family who kept bees followed a strange tradition.

Whenever there was a death in the family, someone had to go out to the hives and tell the bees of the terrible loss that had befallen the family.

Failing to do so often resulted in further losses such as the bees leaving the hive, or not producing enough honey or even dying.

Traditionally, the bees were kept abreast of not only deaths but all important family matters including births, marriages, and long absence due to journeys. If the bees were not told, all sorts of calamities were thought to happen. This peculiar custom is known as “telling the bees”.

The practice of telling the bees may have its origins in Celtic mythology that held that bees were the link between our world and the spirit world. So if you had any message that you wished to pass to someone who was dead, all you had to do was tell the bees and they would pass along the message.

The typical way to tell the bees was for the head of the household, or “goodwife of the house” to go out to the hives, knock gently to get the attention of the bees, and then softly murmur in a doleful tune the solemn news.

Little rhymes developed over the centuries specific to a particular region. In Nottinghamshire, the wife of the dead was heard singing quietly in front of the hive,

“The master's dead, but don't you go; Your mistress will be a good mistress to you.”

In Germany, a similar couplet was heard,

“Little bee, our lord is dead; Leave me not in my distress”.

But the relationship between bees and humans goes beyond superstition. It’s a fact, that bees help humans survive. 70 of the top 100 crop species that feed 90% of the human population rely on bees for pollination.

Without them, these plants would cease to exist and with it all animals that eat those plants. This can have a cascading effect that would ripple catastrophically up the food chain.

Losing a beehive is much worse than losing a supply of honey. The consequences are life threatening.

The act of telling the bees emphasizes this deep connection humans share with the insect.

Happy Grandparents Day! If you still have your grandparents, today is a perfect day to give them a call. Paying them a visit would be even better if you can. What did your grandparents teach you about the outdoors?

To all the grandparents out there, how have you shared your love of the outdoors with your grandkids?

We did give up many of the suburban city comforts s to raise our boys in San Diego's Laguna Mountain range and surrounding desert territories, and they've always thanked us as they grew into men.

Checking in with Keanu!

Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia.
And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them.
He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: To be a good person.
Keanu Reeves’ father is of Native Hawaiian descent !

Never Forget who was here 1st with socio-economic cultures, all built around the sacredness of the Earth and all living things - The Real AVATARS!

🔥🔥 A cabinet card of Sitting Bull autographed in his own hand. He probably sold thousands of autographs for $1 while touring with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show during the 1885 season.
Upon his band's return from Canada in 1881 after their getaway to Canada after LBH, he was held prisoner at Ft. Randall until May 1883, at which time he settled at the Standing Rock agency. Agent McLaughlin kept him on a tight leash but did give him permission to leave on a trip east, where he met and befriended Annie Oakley in St. Paul in Mar. 1884.
Sitting Bull was pursued by Buffalo Bill to join his Wild West show, and was also encouraged to join it by McLaughlin, who wanted to 'civilize' Sitting Bull, much like his LBH warrior lieutenants Gall and Grass (Charging Bear) had become at Standing Rock.
He was given a generous signing bonus and his responsibilities in the show only included riding around the ring once on horseback. He was paraded as the man who 'killed Custer'. After the shows he sold autographs, and, appalled at the poverty he saw on the streets of the cities that the show visited, gave away much or all of his proceeds to the beggars. He became close to Annie Oakley and adopted her as his daughter.
The experience out east left him disillusioned by white culture and he remained true to his native roots, to the consternation of Agent McLaughlin, who considered him a backwards thorn in his side.
While Sitting Bull's stature vastly declined on the reservation, many remained loyal to him, and he was called upon to join the Ghost Dance movement at Standing Rock by Lakota disciples from other reservations. McLaughlin was having none of that, and determined to remove him to Omaha temporarily until things settled down.
Sitting Bull's camp in the southern part of the agency had a routine to go up to Ft. Yates for rations every two weeks, but Sitting Bull never went along. McLaughlin thought that that would be a good time to detain him quietly and easily. However, he got wind that Sitting Bull was planning to sneak away during the night for Pine Ridge and McLaughlin was forced to change his plan. On Dec. 14, 1890, he ordered the Indian Police to arrest him, but the 'commando' operation failed miserably and Sitting Bull was killed along with several other people. The US Army was backing up the Indian Police from a distance and fired some Hotchkiss cannons on the camp. This terrified his people, who assumed they were all going to be killed, and so this now leaderless band left the reservation and scattered to the east and south, with some joining Spotted Elk on his journey to Pine Ridge, but unfortunately the very thing that they were afraid of would come to pass at Wounded Knee Creek on Dec. 29, 1890.
