Those who Imagined the fire s of
Resistance went out w ith MTV would have
gone apoplectic last week at the Fox A
sellout crowd for a man who hasn t — John
Trudell, Sioux a c tiv is t and poet,
co-founder of the American Indian
Movement Backed by native voicmgs, hand
drum, and a prem dustnal strength band,
Trudell behaved badly, chanting truth for
tw o solid hours Life, love, oppression,
rig ht action, that sort of thing
From Rich Man s War' to Tma Smiled' (a
fare w ell love song to his w ife , who along
w ith the ir two children and her mother,
burned to death in an arson fire
m ysteriously coincident w ith the FBI seige
of Wounded Knee) and back again to Bombs
Over Bagdad , the 46-year-old veteran the
Great White Father would hardly call a
good Indian told tales of an American
dream strapped shrieking to the ra ils of a
New World Order
Described as “extremely eloquent" by
the government who almost certainly
murdered his fam ily, John Trudell Is, to
those w illin g to sacrifice human beings
for power and p ro fit, a dangerous man Bob
Dylan wasn't exaggerating when he called
Trudell's fir s t mainstream release, a k a
G ra ffiti Man, the best album of the year
For those at the Fox that night, It was the
best show in 25 years We should all
maybe buy the album and play it for the
kids

After a varm and sensuous Indian Summer it s
hard for me to believe that the holiday season is
lust around the corner So whether you
celebrate Christmas Hanukkah or the Winter
Solstice this is a good opportunity to consider
how you w ill spend your Lime money and
energy Obviously I am going to urge you to be
concerned with the health of our environm ent
as v e il as your economic and spiritual
w ellb ein g Far loo often at this time of the year
ve misplace our sense of simplicity and decorum
and march straight into the Madison Avenue
hyperbole or continue outmoded patterns of
eicess One of the challenges that confronts us
as ve approach the n eit century is learning to
decrease our overwhelming consumption of
resources and adapt our personal lifestyles to
live w ithin a sustainable society One vay to do
so is to address the over-commercialism and
consumerism surrounding the holidays The
holiday season invokes in most of us the concepts
of brotherhood family generosity acceptance
peace and love II is a time for sharing
celebrating and renewal All of these can be
achieved wilhout excessive gift giving,
over indulgence and racing from one event to
another Most of us w ill not be able to totally
eliminate all the opulance and vaste from this
season But with some moderation ve can
minimize our consumption Here are a fev
suggestions to help you create a more deliberate
and graceful holiday season for yourself
* Think about the consequences of your gift
giving If you must purchase gifts think about
hov the gift is packaged vh a t resources are used
to produce it is it durable is it necessary w ill it
be used or is it merely trendy
* Make gift giving more personalized and less
commercial Give donations to worthy causes in
someone s name volunteer time or services to
perform a task that is difficult or unappealing
(washing windows cleaning gutters ironing
etc )
* Make gifts that have a function and don t add
to the accumulation of stuff” I like to give
homemade bread one of my friends makes jam
while another makes baskets filled with recycled
materials accumulated from promotional
materials thrown away by stores
* Encourage your fam ily to cut down on
gift giving Drawing names and only giving and
receiving one gift reduces the drain on
resources It also cuts down on the stress of
shopping and the expense incurred One of my
friends has a family agreement that each person
w ill submit 5 gift possibilities to the person who
picks his name Thai vay gifts w ill be used and
wanted Another option is to give gifts only to
the children There are many variations of this
theme and I m sure any family can come to an
agreement on which would be most acceptable
* Consider using a live Christmas tree A friend
of mine has been doing this since 1971 and now
has a beautiful grove of "memories" in his yard
* Give a subscription to the Upper Left Edge It s
educational, reusable, recycleable and fun (ed-
thanks Kim1 Take th u g out of petty cash )
* Make wrapping paper from previously used
items in your home Comic pages, tissue paper,
scraps of material, toilet paper cores, the list is
endless
* Reuse last year a Christmas cards and
wrapping paper Cut them up to use as tags,
rework as new cards make into wrapping paper,
etc
* Help out at the food bank deliver food baskets
donate food You gel the idea here
* Do something for wild animals
* Go out and en)oy the earth For many years I
have spent holiday mornings rising early and
hiking or being in the water It s a wonderfully
quiet time of appreciation for all that livin g in
the Northwest offers
* Vhen you buy decorations consider the
materials they are made from Are they
reusable biodegradable and long lasting7
* Think about energy consumption 1,1
* Remember, livin g on less is not doing without
The list of ideas is endless and this is only
intended as a rem inder to each of us to stop and
reflect on our habits over the next 2 months
Always remember that a kind word of thanks
praise or encouragement is one of the best gifts
you can give Also 1 personally enjoy receiving
and giving hugs Vhat belter way to let someone
know you care
