Subject: Echo Rules Pt. II
Date: 2 Nov 92 05:07:00 GMT

The nature of things:
=====================
Perhaps the most important rules in MISSING_CHILD echo are simply
these:

  1) Do not be easily offended.

  2) Do not easily offend.

Since the very nature of MISSING_CHILD echo deals with a highly
emotional subject, Missing/Abducted children, you must realize
that people may react strongly to messages you may post.  Please
remember the purpose of this echo is to find missing and abducted
children.

When you post something in MISSING_CHILD, do so with the
expectation that someone might take exception to it.  Some
subjects provoke almost violent reactions among some conference
users, and you should not be surprised to receive fierce and
intemperant replies from time to time.  This is inevitable in
MISSING_CHILD, and it is considered bad form to run to the
Moderator when it happens, unless specific violations of the
topic rules above have taken place.

Feelings run high in the MISSING_CHILD echo.
The Moderators reserves the right to make these fine
judgment calls as they see fit.

In general:
===========
The Moderator feels that origin lines, at least, ought to be
verifiable and legitimate.

Complaints to the Moderator should be sent in private Netmail,
if offered by your sysop, to 1:387/622, or 1:109/607.  Post
complaints on the conference itself only if there is no other
way.

The Moderator reserves the right to take part in any or all
discussions on the conference, without regard to his status as
Moderator.  When he is acting specifically as Moderator, he will
sign his message as:

Is this newsgroup only for problems?  How about advantages/anecdotes?

To Gary and nn.chat@gnosys.svle.me.us re Roszak on
"Ecopsychology."

Gary, thanks much for forward to natchat the article by Theodore
Roszak.  Also for including the info on Center.  This stuff was a
real joy to read.  I realize that much of the following will sound
selff-serving, but I feel a need for at least some background.
     I have been teaching at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
since its inception (was even a part of it), and when we began (in
1967-69 -- i.e. from paper to 1st buildings), we were called Eco-U
(and not only by ourselves) because of some special academic
designs and a strong ecological/environmental focus.  At one time
I was even Chair of an academic Division named Socio-Ecology.
     At any event, shortly after that I became very much involved
with the Association for Humanistic Psychology and also with
creating theatre performance pieces with American Indian stories
-- including doing workshop at AHP based on that and showing links
between/among the two areas of activity.
     Such has continued to be part of the focus of my work over
these many years, and with Roszak's "ecopsychology" I see an
excellent statement of the coming together of these three
concerns.  There seems to me no doubt whatever that we must
recognize that, as you so well put it, "the material and the
spiritual are interwoven with one another."  For me that
interweaving was what so intrigued and sustained me, albeit
without being able to articulate it except with some scattered
"doings."
     I see no need to apologize for Roszak's sounding  "like just
so much more sentimental poetic eco-liberal rhetoric."  He has, as
you imply, several other times found the ways to voice significant
contemporary concerns.  And the fact that he has once again
"written what I wish I could/should have written" is simply
another proof *for me* of his cogency.  And I'm happy "someone
else recognized that!"  Thanks again.

Hi Steve.  One first step to finding out about what res's are in Montana
is to look at a map of Montana.  Or call  (alas)  the B.I.A. for that sort
of info  (Bureau of Indian Affairs, it's in the phone book).  I'm not sure
why you're focused on Montana; South Dakota would be a place to look also.
I don't know exactly what kind of information you're interested in--
tradition, history, modern political activity--so I've sent you by email
a mess of references of books involving both Lakota and Blackfoot peoples.
Lakota Times is a newspaper published out of South Dakota which you
might well be interested in regarding present-day Lakota concerns.  Of
course, there's really no equivalent to meeting and getting involved
with other, active, native people.  

I should point out:  Lakota is the indigenous and I believe preferred name
for the Sioux peoples.  I do not know whether what the government calls
Sioux also includes some other peoples.  

I'll see if I can find the Lakota Times address; alternatively, I've
seen it published on this newsgroup before and perhaps others here who
know more would be better able to answer your questions about it.

all the best!

Thom

Not any more, Rep. Ben Cambell (sp?) of Colorado is now Senator elect
Ben Cambell.  Its not the first time there has been a Native Senator,
but it has been over 50 years since the last one.

Your summary is inaccurate, again.  Indian culture is NOT Eskimo culture.
(Uh, have you ever even met an Eskimo Peshe?)

Enough of my credentials have been detailed (yes Peshe, it goes farther
than described, but that was more than enough to qualify my discussion,
and you have given none at all).  You and I do not *define* Eskimo culture
because we are not Eskimo.  I can describe impressions of their culture
because of years of exposure and study.  You can't, because you haven't.

Until you present valid qualifications to discuss Eskimo culture I will
not continue this exchange.  I will not dignify the rest of your article
with discussion because you do not present facts, and insist on cultural
insults.  That is despicable, sir.

Thom is correct. The Pine Ridge Reservation South Dakota has the closest Lakota
(Sioux) reservation in relation to Montana. The Blackfeet reservation is in
Browning, Montana, close to Glacier National Park, just east of the
continental divide.

I have a Native American friend here in Berlin, Germany, who
has been living here for at least 20 years. She recently
told me that it was _forbidden_ in North Carolina for
Native Americans/American Indians _to marry_. She insisted
it was like this, that they were generally forbidden "to marry",
