It. In the 1940s, the idea of the panic thing was really the main scenario of what happened. It was not that at all. What implications do those two stories have for a potential future . Well, what they show right away is that the media is going to have a very big affect. In this case, these both originated in the media. That me to you one more case in history, which is real science. That is 1996, when nasa announced that they had found nano fossils, very small fossils in a mars rock. Mars rocks to explode off of mars on their hit by a meteorite and intersect the earths orbits and land on the earth. A dozen or so of these have been found. Studying one of these, nasa scientists believe that found fossils. The reaction to that was quite tremendous. The reaction was, first of all, that there were press conferences at nasa headquarters. President clinton at the time made remarks on the south lawn of the white house. Vice president gore later held a symposium with theologians and all kinds o
Which is a glacial erratic that was moved to the top of the hill from the lakeshore just a short distance below us, and coming up on the wing tip of a bird effigy mound built here around 1000 years ago. Are difficult to photograph. They are quite shy. Every time they see a camera, they sink down into the earth and hide themselves. They are not very spectacular earthworks, but they are special. The body comes down the hill towards the lakeshore, and then the other thing is just out of sight on the other side of the body of the mound. Body is extending down the slope toward the lake in front of us, and the wings extend off to each side as if it is flying up toward the hill. A kinduld be considered of tombstone. Really, they mark the graves of the dead and are carved in the shape of animals and spirits, just as sometimes you see modern headstones carved in the shape of earnings or other architectural things today. Graves and sets of human remains. Creation sometimes. Sometimes full burial
To other people to determine the nature of these. Our wampum belts are never presented in Court Despite the aspiration that the treaties are important. These are replicas are important. Hopefully on november 11, we are going to bring back the real versions because november 11 is the anniversary of the treaty. The nation just sent more vermonters to the white house inviting the president or a designee to come to the commemoration. Stay tuned. If this will have any impact, november 11 will give us an indication. Every year, we gather to recite the terms of the treaty. We invite you there. Hopefully, this exhibition and the wampum lot in philadelphia, this will be the place where we can gather together, gather our minds together, and hopefully come together of one mind on what is the true nature, aspirations, and expectations these treaties provide for all of us. These treaties were made not just for our benefit, but for your benefit as well. I appreciate the time i have had here. I would
I think the crisis above all else is a clarion call for changing our relationship with one another and the planet earth. Why is the extinction crisis in the clarion call . Because it is loud and clear, as all clearing call clarion calls must be. For those willing to listen, it is almost deafening. With each passing there is a celestial bell that rings endlessly in the heavens marking the passage of the another miracle. It is certainly clear it provides clear evidence, unequivocal evidence, that something is amiss. Sweep,ful, over the long billions of years of multicellular life, there been five events that rivaled the extinction crisis that we are in today. If that is not evidence that something is amiss, i dont know what amiss means. We understand the cause of the extinction crisis. It is humaninduced habitat degradation, modification, invasion of species, overexploitation, and over the last few decades, Climate Change. Now for a portion of the the American Noble Energy Institute Summ
Past summer presented a stark reminder of the unfinished challenge. As the toxic algal blooms shut off the fresh Drinking Water to half a Million People and businesses in ohio and michigan for three days across lake eries western basin, the largest watershed in the entire great lakes. The public, though shocked, was orderly and magnificent. We didnt have riots or civil disorder. During that threeday crisis, astoundingly we learned communities along the lake were not equipped locally to test the water so vital to their own survival. Two precious days were wasted, sending and rescinding vials and samples five hours away to e. P. A. Labs and then back and then back again. This simply is unacceptable. Proper testing, equipment on lake erie is fundamental, fundamental to a Response Time commensurate with the challenge that remains before us. The lake Erie Community needs its own Water Testing equipment and certified lab. Already local universities and Health Departments have been assembling
