Kiowa -our Wood Bison has gone to his spirit lodge

Kiowa – Bison Extraordinaire

Moonridge Animal Park has lost one of our longest residents, our Woodland Bison Kiowa. Cause of death: Old Age

Kiowa was a very special animal and will be deeply missed.

Kiowa was born at the Moonridge Animal Park in May of 1992. His father Cochise came to us from the San Diego Zoo along with two females and another male. Cochise lived to be 16 years old, but his son Kiowa lived to be almost 20! Kiowa is survived by his half brother… Continue

The Budwiser Commercial...

I received an e-mail early this morning asking why I would put a Budwiser Commercial on the homepage in the event of the 9/11 tragedy...

First of all I do take into consideration that we cannot please everyone with what is posted on the homepage. You will find most of the videos and posts are rather generic as to not offend anyone and their beliefs. If you take a look around we have Christian, Atheist, Pagan, Wiccan, Democrat, Republican, Liberal and many of those in between.

The Modoc war a piece of our History

California and the Indian Wars

The Modoc War, 1872-1873

by Warren A. Beck and Ynez D. Hasse

This conflict resulted from forces common to all Indian wars: the encroachment of whites upon traditional Indian land until the aboriginal way of life was threatened with extinction. However, it was complicated by the appearance of the Ghost Dance religion, which (it was believed) protected the Indians from the white man's… Continue

Sweetgrass

Osiyo All,

I don't know how many of you use sweetgrass in ceremony of your own but I know it is often difficult to find without having to 'buy' it. Selling sweetgrass and sage is something I do not approve of as it is sacred and a gift from our Earth Mother. I have sweetgrass on my property and nurture it in a good way...no chemicals at all and if any of you are in need I will gladly send you braids...all I ask is that you do not re-sell it...only for personal use and whatever the mail… Continue

Patricia Randolf

For those of you who don't know Patricia Randolf, she is a tireless advocate for rights for all our relations...she has a column in a Wisconsin paper that is so very well worth the read and follow. I hope each of you welcomes her as a sister to this wonderful organization. She touches life with a voice for those who have no human voice nor a vote as to what happens to them. Hope each of you has had a good day and if it has been a bit rough, always remember the great gift you get to see when you… Continue

Wind Spirits

With the winds of Irene affecting so many, I would like to share an upside of the Wind Spirits if I may....

Wind Spirits of Our Soul

(lessons from Bishop and Lame Coyote)

Set your face to western winds

Rushing from tall mountain peaks

Strong and furious

Soft and gentle

Singers of a peace

Seldom found with humans

Movement of a spirit

Refreshing the soul

Speakers of no lies

Sharing only… Continue

Cats Sleep Anywhere

I found this poem and want to share it. It was written by Eleanor Farjeon.

Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair,
Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge,
Open drawer, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do,
Fitted in a cardboard box, in a cupboard with your frocks
Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.

I like animals, I found this story very funny want to shear this one - it's a hoot !

- What a funny squirrel! I showed Marianne the picture on a magazine.

- Oh, don´t talk about squirrels… she sighed.

- Why?

- Our neighbor isn´t talking to us.

- What? Again? What this time? Something to do with squirrels?

- Oh yes.

- Let´s hear it!

- All right. The other day we were a bit tired and had a nap after I had done the laundry, and before it was time to start preparing dinner. Well - I was just about to fall asleep when…
