The answer to our time<br />lay hidden in the long grasses<br />on the top. Antelope scattered <br /><br />through the rocks before us, clattered<br />unseen down the easy slope to the west. <br />Our horses balked, stiff legged, <br />their nostrils flared at something unseen<br />gliding smoothly through the brush away. <br /><br />On top, our horses broke, loped through<br />a small stand of stunted pine, then jolted<br />to a nervous walk. Before us lay<br />the smooth stones our ancestors, the fish,<br />the lizard, snake and bent-kneed <br /><br />bowman – – etched by something crude, <br />by a wandering race, driven by their names <br />for time: its winds, its rain, its snow <br />and the cold moon tugging at the crude figures<br />in this, the season of their loss. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">..........................................................................</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lauren Bridgeman and Maria Zedeno describe <b>Snake Butte</b> as "a sacred landscape, home to powerful traditional snake medicine, religious areas for fasting, environmental resources for collecting, and cultural features that convey the living and remembered traditions of the Gros Ventre and Assiniboine peoples."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>James Welch</b> (1940-2002) as a child attended schools on the Blackfeet and Fort Belknap reservations. Snake Butte is located within the <a href="https://ftbelknap.org/">Fort Belknap Indian Reservation</a>, homeland to the Assiniboine (Nakoda) and Gros Ventre (Aaniiih) Tribes. Welch became famous as a western regional and Native American writer beginning with<i> Winter in the Blood</i>, 1974. Previously, in 1971, he published his only collection of poetry: <i>Riding the Earthboy 40</i>, which includes the poem Thanksgiving at Snake Butte. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Upon reflection we consider again (and again) the answer to our time. An echo in the season of loss. We may recall how the some of the rock mass of Snake Butte was mined in the 1930s for the massive <b>Fort Peck Dam</b> on the Missouri River. A tangible loss also fractures spirit. This continues at full thrust on and in many sacred lands and places. Where will wisdom sit? <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://ftbelknap.org/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="985" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEii_d3nwg2sQxq8jNqCHABPWn5jQPvzPxfieDY9GkycQrNvgIBZGIYdDCfMCyBx7UsoF-umFQ0vjkwvBb-dr5m9JT4gylG1srJo9Yn7Knl45zMqfVD4q4Xj5c6JSW7b5STnEIQCItTkekkHW4dognIX34iNvY-1fENEDRmBF6WUuVGHBMA0e2Ty9P2Pv98z=w393-h400" width="393" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The neocapitalist crush and craze for all things that can be extracted -- Lithium, for example -- continues unabated. <b>Thacker Pass</b>, a sacred landscape on federal lands in northern Nevada near the Oregon border, is on the brink of devastation. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">To follow the evolving situation at Thacker Pass, in the McDermitt Caldera lapping into Oregon, check these links and sources: — <b>Protect Thacker Pass</b> <a href="https://www.protectthackerpass.org/blog/" target="_blank">https://www.protectthackerpass.org/blog/</a><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">On December 5th, 2023, In Reno NV, following a federal judge’s dismissal of their latest lawsuit, the <b>Reno-Sparks Indian Colony (RSIC) </b>will hold a press conference on their court cases against the Thacker Pass lithium mine.</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />— <b>Judge again rules against tribes’ effort to stop lithium mine</b><br />November 21, 2023 <a href="https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2023/11/21/judge-again-rules-against-tribes-effort-to-stop-lithium-mine/" target="_blank">https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2023/11/21/judge-again-rules-against-tribes-effort-to-stop-lithium-mine/</a><br />— Previously on <b>RockArtOregon</b><br /><a href="https://rockartoregon.blogspot.com/2021/03/center-of-earth.html" target="_blank">https://rockartoregon.blogspot.com/2021/03/center-of-earth.html</a><br /><a href="https://rockartoregon.blogspot.com/2021/06/center-of-earth-2.html" target="_blank">https://rockartoregon.blogspot.com/2021/06/center-of-earth-2.html</a></span></p>Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10666504897724670475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355511573373532958.post-87792290816751567012023-11-10T08:17:00.000-08:002023-11-13T08:11:16.985-08:00Red<div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the face of the unknown, humans have always left their mark: handprints on cave walls, painted suns on rocks, flute solos to the stars.

What we long to hold on to, we lose; what we remember is often what we would just as soon forget; the future is always bearing down, an endless distraction. I know myself as a glitter of synaptic activation, a flimsy thing easily swept aside. A ceaselessly increasing sum materializing out of nothingness, each integer instantly flung behind me. I am persistent. I am transient. Memory is not a fixed object, and neither am I. <br />— Sallie Tisdale

A sunny, dry day walking in Kilmartin Glen, a May day four years ago. Along my way, not far from the two-lane road, I found myself in the silence, an outsider, alone with the <b>Dunchraigaig Cairn</b>. Kilmartin, mid-Argyll, western Scotland: An Animate Landscape! Yet, that day the 4000-year-old deer carvings lingered in the dark.<br /><br />In 2020 Hamish Fenton announced the discovery of the carvings on the underside of the cairn’s massive capstone, 4 meters in length and est. 5 tons. A 2022 paper wonderfully titled, <b>Revealing the Earliest Animal Engravings in Scotland: The Dunchraigaig Deer, Kilmartin</b>, documents and investigates the context and implications.
