Been back in New York for four weeks then on to Brazil. In Brazil I am working directly with some of the tribes from the forest. They are just begining to experiance social difficulties, like what Indians here in America have already experianced. They have started a movement umongst them selves called A.I.R  Amazon Indian Revolution. I have spent four and a half weeks there. Looking for support for them spiritually, financially, and physically. I am researching in getting them a seat on the United Nations. Letters to them in support of their plight would be greatly appriciated. The Amazon rain forest is going to be destroyed to make room for two major dams.

I continue to be involved in activism when I thought I had retired, but I learned the needs of all people are so great no one ever retires from this kind of commitment. Perhaps we could pray about a small deligation of people going there with me to learn about their from the medicine men. We can only act as advisors in the eyes of the Brazilian Gov. Think you can read between the lines. Well will be going back to New York in Sept to do a two day hand drum making workshop. Songs ,protocol, healing, and making your own drum will be in this work shop. Interested? in the area let me know. well fingers getting tired so pilamiya (thank you) for now.
