A visionary journey through the landscape of Native North American music-from Tuscarora singer/songwriter Pura Fé to pop icon Rita Coolidge, from Blackfoot composer Olivia Tailfeathers and the Old Agency Singers to the traditional music of the Zuni Olla Maidens. This ground-breaking film profiles the "First Ladies" of indigenous song and pays tribute to the precious musical archive they preserve and celebrate. Through their language, heritage and homelands, the stories and songs of the women link the past to the present as they trace the voices of their ancestors.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."

For instance, thousands of emails are going out today (Tuesday) regarding the "1984" Orwellian "Information Awareness Office" which is a part of the version of the Homeland Security Act as described by William Saffire in Monday's Rhino's Blog. It'll be voted on today or tomorrow.
If you're a member of True Majority, you can send emails to all your reps with one key stroke. To become a member, you sign up once - no fees:

You can send their letter or quickly write your own. Here today's sample:
I write as a constituent of yours to urge you to oppose any bill that would create the kind of centralized database of information about every American currently included in the version of the Homeland Security Act passed by the House. This massive invasion of privacy is frightening and Un-American. We can not hope to protect our freedoms by surrendering them.
Thank you for your attention.

Thirteen years ago, Nov. 19, 1989, six Jesuit priests were murdered in El Salvador by soldiers led by officers trained at the School Of The Americas (SOA) in Georgia.

About 6,500 protesters gathered for the 13th annual demonstration by the School of the Americas Watch, which continues to protest the Nov. 19, 1989, killings of six Jesuit priests in El Salvador. Protesters said they demonstrate because people responsible for the killings were trained at the School of the Americas, a Fort Benning-based program that was replaced last year by a new institute.
