Shhh..I swear I heard a duck bark...







A woman goes into Cabela's to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs



one and



goes over to the counter.







A Cabela's associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, 'Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and



reel?'



He says, 'Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter,… Continue

day

Osda Sunalei (good morning) All,

I would like to share something I wrote some years ago to start your New day with you if I may



,

Kindness



Softly, like the gentle breath of Creator

who whispers upon Wind Spirits



Gently, as the soft petal of a violet

that caresses an infant’s cheek



Refreshing as the cooling mist

from a clear running waterfall



With compassion it begins to heal

those who are in pain

Wolves

Wolves



Drums pound as gourd rattles shake in rhythm

with the joyous heart of Earth Mother

Spirits of Earth and Sky loudly rejoice

at the birthing of new Wolf pups



Tiny new lives beginning in innocence

their eyes closed to what might be

Gently, as the caress of a Butterfly

Wind Spirits stroke their fur



Sleeping pups, dreaming dreams

of ancestors roaming free

Prairies, mountains, valleys, and streams

were once a home… Continue

Oil spill cleanup turns up trove of Indian relics

CAMINADA HEADLAND, La.Cleanup after the BP oil spill has turned up dozens of sites where archaeologists are finding human and animal bones, pottery and primitive weapons left behind by pre-historic Indian settlements — a trove of new clues about the Gulf Coast's mound dwellers more than 1,300 years ago. But they also fear the remains could be damaged by oil or lost to erosion before they can be fully studied.

So far, teams of archaeologists hired by the oil giant have visited more than 100… Continue

A cool story ,Ship lost for more than 150 years is recovered

Canadian archeologists have found a ship abandoned more than 150 years ago in the quest for the fabled Northwest Passage and which was lost in the search for the doomed expedition of Sir John Franklin, the head of the team said Wednesday.

Marc-Andre Bernier, Parks Canada's head of underwater archaeology, said the HMS Investigator, abandoned in the ice in 1853, was found in shallow water in Mercy Bay along the northern coast of Banks Island in Canada's western Arctic.

In Iceland, hunters and watchers battle over whales

A slick black head breaks the surface, drawing delighted shrieks from whale watchers in a growing, and lucrative, activity that some say should replace Iceland's controversial whale hunt.

Since their meagre beginning in the 1990s, whale safaris in this island state have grown to attract tens of thousands of visitors each summer. But its proponents tensed up when Iceland reintroduced commercial whaling in 2006, and the two sides remain uneasy bedfellows.

"Whaling is bad for our… Continue

The Kachina Doll...

The Kachina Doll...

The dolls are carved from cottonwood root. The cottonwood is a symbol itself of being able to seek out moisture, especially important to desert farmers! It is light, sturdy, and a great wood for carving. The carver refines the piece of wood more and more. When it's finished, the doll is painted by hand with traditional colors identifiable to a particular Kachina spirit. Hopi Kachina carving is a very big part of their current and past culture and the carvers are an… Continue
