Pauwau Events:
        These are village gatherings called by the Pauwau [medicine person]
after consulting with the various energy aspects such as star alignments, cycles,
village challenges, etc. These are opportunities for growth, healing, learning, relaxing, etc. Beginning at sunrise, there are ceremonies, discussions, dream recall and interpretation, story telling during the day with drumming, singing and dancing at night after a feast.

    Sovereignty
        Sovereignty is the normal state of every human. Some of us have forgotten what it is like. Others fear what being sovereign may cost. However, it is only by embracing our personal sovereignty that we can truly choose how we live, how we express our self and fulfill our purpose.

On this day
in 2009
a core of frozen anger
held for over
60 years was
let go.

A major turning point for
which thanks is daily given.
