Wampum

Patrick Barkman writes The Local Crank, which appears to be translated, in part, into dead tree. He ran for the Legis in 2002, a cycle before MB ran for the Maine House.

Stacy Leeds is posting again at Tsalagi Think Tank, after having been "off-line" for six months since Chad Smith won another term as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. I'm really looking forward to reading Stacy again.

Not everyone needs to see things just how I see things. A person can write "... Vine Deloria, Jr.'s excellent work on the fallacy of the alleged science of archaeology, "Red Earth, White Lies..." and go on to make literary art, which is what Pudgy Indian does, or do the shutterbug at a powwow and capture many daughters and sons in motion

Yazzie writes Tribal Employee, and simple things like "A lot of us Navajos on the reservation like to go to Giddy-up town (Gallup, NM) to go to Wal-Mart, to buy mutton, to do our laundry, etc." are so normal, and so far from the overheated frenzy of the dominant discourse.

Rob J. Peters writes a blog, Rob is also a Tribal Employee, and in the middle of union vote in his department at the Soaring Eagle casino. Highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding Tribal Government as an employer.

Bobbie Hart O'Neill, Annie, and BobbieoAZ write Native Unity, and have been doing so since Wampum was started, back in 2003. We share a keen interest in Section 368 rights-of-way, governmentally fronted by the DOE, the DOI, and the BLM, and in many other things.

That's enough for a start.
