Approaching Strom
As many people have watched the movie “Billy Jack” We saw how greed and one person changed a whole town with a casino. Many tribes have went the way of a casino to help support the tribe and many times the casino owners made all the money and left the tribes with little or nothing. Native American people are loosing who they are and in times like now when it is getting harder to make “the ends meet” what are Native people suppose to do. There is still a silent war that rage against Native people and the following story tells of just one battle that is being fought now. <Read More>

– Remembering –
A
s I reflect back on this past year and see all God has done, I become amazed. In late Spring I received an e-mail from a Pastor in Cotonue, Republic of Bening. He asked me if I would come and lead a revival in his area. My answer was, if it is God’s will I will surely come. Over the next few months the pastor and I corresponded back and forth about my arrival. I felt led to make the trip, but this was after hours of prayer. I asked others to pray also. At no time did I ask for donations for this trip, but people made donations anyway. I pressed forward and received the needed shots and passport. Our trip was scheduled for the end of September. It was now the first week of September and during my early morning prayer time, God told me that I was not going now. I said, God what do you mean I’m not going. What will the people say that have been praying and have donated, what will they think. God replied, I never really told you that you would go, just pray about going and I had. About 3:00a.m. every morning God would wake me and I would make the trek outside and sit under the apple tree and pray, play the flute and pray some more. <Read More>– The White Buffalo –

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Dennis Lamenti believes he is the only Native
American astronomer in the U.S. with -- or working on -- a graduate degree. He actively has sought others
through conferences, speeches and committee meetings and comes up empty handed. But he intends to
change that. The IU graduate student is planning a spring Bloomington campus visit and a retreat for
Native American students to a national observatory, and is involved in a nation-wide event, all to bring more
Native Americans to the field of astronomy while introducing his culture's astronomic heritage to the world.
