Thoughts for the day
I read my articles and was putting
finishing touches on my presentation today when I got a call that the host and
his wife both tested positive for Covid. They had just returned from a Road Scholar
trip. He had sent out an email and was not following up with a phone call. It’s
OK, I’ll do it at our next meeting.
I grew up with the Rocky Mountain News
and the Denver Post being delivered every day. My dad even trained our dogs to
bring the paper in when it came. During the last days before an election, both
parents (1 a Dem, 1 a Rep) would review who both papers endorsement and then
make up their own minds. I know it was
only for perspective.
I was surprised when major newspapers
announced they were not endorsing a candidate for president in this election. At
least one of these papers leans left. I’m not sure if it just billionaires
sticking together, or a fear that if they don’t endorse Trump, and Trump wins,
they will pay a huge price. I don’t recognize this kind of journalism and to be
honest, I fear for the free press…and maybe the Constitution if Trump is elected.

American Facts…
Native American Tribes Are
Revitalizing Their Languages & Cultures
Despite centuries of cultural
suppression and forced assimilation, Native American tribes are actively
working to revitalize their languages and traditions. Many tribes have
established language immersion schools, cultural centers, and youth programs to
ensure their heritage is passed on to future generations.
The Hawai’ian language, for
example, was once on the brink of extinction, but thanks to the efforts of
Native Hawai’ian educators and activists, it is now taught in schools and
universities across the islands.
Similarly, the Navajo Nation
has implemented a comprehensive language revitalization program to ensure that
the Navajo language remains a living, vibrant part of the community. These
efforts demonstrate the resilience and determination of Native American peoples
to maintain their cultural identities in the face of ongoing challenges.
As we celebrate the rich
history and diverse cultures of Native American tribes, it is important to
recognize the struggles they have faced and continue to face. By learning about
these 20 surprising facts, we can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation
for indigenous peoples’ contributions, resilience, and vitality.
Let us honor their legacy by
supporting their ongoing fights for self-determination, cultural preservation,
and social justice.
