The tipi that stood during the Occupation of Alcatraz is now envisioned as a monument of the resistance that resulted in upholding far-reaching rights for Native People.

Robert Free remembers setting up the tipi in the early part of the occupation in 1969, and now has a vision of it as a monument of the resilience, tenacity and self-determination.

Blue horses on a red mile, Ortiz and Tapahonso


Searching through my files, a stellar glimmer of the past appears, the beauty and clarity of the poetry of Simon Ortiz and Luci Tapahonso. Written in October of 2005, I share it because of the breathtaking beauty of their poetry and power of their words.

There are some things that are irreplaceable, like water; and some things that cannot be changed, such as time. But when it comes to transmuting the land and air, scents and sounds of their homelands into verse, Simon Ortiz, Acoma Pueblo, and Luci Tapahonso, Navajo, are master alchemists.

Their sense of place, rooted in their homelands of Acoma Pueblo and the Navajo Nation, are tasted, felt and breathed. Ortiz and Tapahonso have cheated time and place, in their ability to transport readers by verse.

The Mountain was approached on April 30, 2021, being those hours. The ship was anchored some 50 fathoms from the port, "away from the bustle / and false society." Laughing gulls, cormorants, earwig frigates, corocoros hovered around him, and even a candid hummingbird, lost, sought to make a nest in the forward pulpit. In the hull, below the waterline, bottle dolphins drummed a cumbia, a whale shark kept time with its fins, and the manta ray spread its black wings like flying hips. The buccaneer group was led by Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés who, with a troop made up of a third insurgent, an insurgent driver and mechanic, a driver base, 5 third parties, a commander and two commanders, attended to dismiss the maritime delegation, Squadron 421, and check, in situ, that the boat had what was necessary for the nautical epic. A support team from the Sixth Commission attended to write the obituaries of those who died in action. .

MNN. 1 MAY 2021. Canadian government spokesperson Mark Hill stated there are “competing factions” at osweken/Six Nations over the encroachment of 1492 Land Back Lane. As a band council chief he works for our enemies to carry out the genocide of those of us who are with the two row and the kaianerekowa/great peace. Our enemies, his bosses, the squatter immigrants, are trying to make a claim to turtle island, which we can never give up, sell or convey. In a power play Hill does not want to undermine Canada’s lack of influence on onkwehonweh people. Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chief’s Council has no authority over the people as they are operating according to foreign Christian ideology, the kariwiio [Handsome  Lake] which is contradictory to nature. The kaianerekowa and the two row are nature’s path.
