This is a call out to all women who are invested in our
future. Our mother is in need of healing. Every culture holds the
energy of the heartbeat that lives in the drum, giving all people this ability
to share in the language of the universe, the sound of life. The drum beat is a

has a vibration, a heartbeat. This vibration has the power to heal, transform
and raise consciousness to our minds, heal our hearts and activate our bodies

the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our
ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to further
our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse
cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through
projects that educate and nurture our children. This project is sponsored by

BMIS WILL HELP YOU COME TO BLACK
You are invited to come to Black Mesa any time of the year, not just spring and
fall. You can come alone or as a pair for a longer duration, or as an organized
work crew for a shorter time. Since establishing a routine is demanding on the
host family, folks are encouraged to stay a minimum of three weeks. If you are
not able to make this time commitment, check in with BMIS about organizing a
work crew to stay a minimum of several days to a week. Guests are expected to
be adequately prepared prior to staying with families on Black Mesa, which is a
very remote area in a high desert terrain. Thoroughly read the Cultural
Sensitivity & Preparedness Booklet and fill out the supporter application
form. http://www.blackmesais.org/cultural_sen.html.

Potomac Conservancy's "Growing Native Program," where people fill and drop off bags with acorns, black walnuts and other native tree seeds that the Potomac Conservancy gives to Maryland and Virginia state foresters for planting next spring. This is a great opportunity for school, church/synagogue groups to participate as well as for individuals.
There are specific "drop off" places for the seeds. One of them is at (C&O) Lockhouse 8 Education Center which is located on the Clara Barton Parkway just off the Beltway. People may pick up bags or drop off bags on the lockhouse's back porch. This is a massive program conducted throughout the Potomac Watershed. Please note that no seeds should be collected on National Park land. For details and more information, please check out www.growingnative.org
This year, The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers will hold their fifth council gathering before and during Sundance from June 12-22, 2007 in the Black Hills of South Dakota. During the conference, the 13 Grandmothers will meet with Native Village director Gina Boltz who is assisting in the creation and publishing of their Internet Youth Forum for kids and young adults up to age 25.
Kids, we need your help. The 13 Indigenous Grandmothers -- elders, healers, wisdomkeepers and spiritual leaders held in the highest regard -- want to hear from our world's youth. If you could ask them one question, what would it be: How do we end global warming? Why can't people just get along? What can I do to become a better person? No matter the question, these wisest of women are here for you. All you have to do is ask.
Native Village will compile and present your questions to the Grandmothers during council. Your questions, along with the Grandmothers' answers, will later be posted in the Grandmothers Youth Forum housed on the Native Village website.
