DRYING APPLES

Supplies
Jar of Real Lemon Juice

2 teaspoons salt

8 - 10 LARGE firm apples (your desired shape/brand)
(I personally don’t like the shape of the Delicious apple - it reminds me of a heart after it dries)

Ribbon or fabric scraps ripped into approx. 1 inch wide by 8 inches long - enough for the number of slices you are making

Paper Towels

Cooling Racks

To prepare and dry your apples
Place lemon juice in a large cake pan and stir in salt.

Slice apples horizontally into 1/4" thick circles.

Soak slices in lemon juice bowl for approximately 6-10 minutes, making sure each side of the slices has a chance to absorb some of the lemon juice.

Remove the slices from the bowl and place them on paper towels. Pat tops of apple slices with paper towels.

Place apples slices in a single layer on a cooling rack or place them on a baking sheet.

Bake at 150-200 degrees F for 6 hours or until dried.

Apple slices should be slightly pliable.

They will finish air drying with time

Based on A Telling of the Seven Fires.

It is at this time that the "civilized race" will be given a choice between two roads. If they choose the right road, then the Seventh will light the Eighth and final fire, an eternal flame of tranquility and equality between all species.

If the "egocentric man" makes the wrong choice of roads, the destruction in which they brought to the western hemisphere, as well as other lands, will come back at them and cause much suffering and death to most of the earth's inhabitants.

As of now we can see the choice's that the Civilians and the descendants of tribal people have made.

The animist people are being absorbed by "civilization"

Once all the savages (meaning free people and animals) have been stolen from their lands: forests, jungles, prairies, desserts, arctic and replaced with a governing political systems and corporations of production to feed the ever hungry beast, the indoctrination and assimilation will almost have been completed with a few exception, there'er still individuals and underground movements that refuse to cooperate and consume Farm Factory Meat (foods) Alcohol, Refined Tobacco, and Pharmaceutical Drugs.(and these are just 4 of the products that keep us addicted to the civilian way of life - soulless mindless and sick, just the way "THEY" want us to be)

In my mind - Hope is for the hopeless the earth will take care of its self without the civilized and there egocentric concepts.

All, that is assumed extinct is waiting in the caverns of the spiritual.

Waiting for a parasite to exhaust it self - "civilized man"

Speciesism

Speciesism is to species as racism and sexism are respectively to race and to sex: the will not to give no consideration (or to give less consideration) to the interests of certain individuals to the benefit of others, while putting forward as a justification differences that may be real or imaginary but are always deprived of a logical link to what they purport to justify.

In practice, speciesism is the ideology that justifies and imposes the exploitation and use of animals by humans in ways that would not be accepted if the victims were human.

Animals are raised and slaughtered to furnish us with meat; they are fished for our consumption; they are used as biological models for our scientific interests; they are hunted as a game.

The struggle against these practices and against the ideology that supports them is the task taken up by many people on a personal level and other organization like AIM Animaux Indigenous Movement. 8 F.I.R.E. Society and one of the largest underground movements the Animal Liberation Movement

The Bering Strait Theory

The Bering Strait Theory suggests that American Indians came to North and South America from Asia via a land bridge that once existed between Alaska and Russia 12,000-60,000 years ago. Three Irons says the theory, which is commonly taught in history classes, runs counter to American Indian origin stories. Our stories and our histories are just as valid as anyone elses, yet theyre referred to as myths and legends, not as history, and that has a negative effect on Native American students as far as self-esteem is concerned. The Bering Strait Theory is more of a political view than a scientific view. Its a part of Western mentality and the Westward expansion in taking Indigenous resources. And a way to justify that is by saying, If youre not really from here, then youre not entitled to (resources), either.--Taking Back Our History: Valerian Three Irons

The air is fresh with the sweet scent of buffalo grass

The air is fresh with the sweet scent of buffalo grass. As you look to the horizon you can see all that is natural, walking without being disturbed, till you reach your migrational destination...

Just over 500 hundred years ago there was a force that impeded our direction, a force that has gone down in the Euro-American history books as the greatest conquest of civilized man... According to my point of view that would be rape, murder, disease, theft, lies and the unnatural occupation of my homeland.

Genocide is the political purgative of Euro-American progression and I personally am a survivor of this policy. But the attempt was unsuccessful: still we survive and live among those who were brought from Europe who now call the Americas their homeland.

The residential schools were one of the attempts to re-educate the Indigenous for this reason: the invaders inability to exterminate the tribal people. So to “save the man you must kill the Indian”. Up until the time of my mother and father, the last generation of residential school survivors- (but not the only ones-) those Indian children have been systematically de/re-programmed, battered, sexually abused, humiliated into submission and, at times, killed for resisting their forced brainwashing.

In present days, approximately 50,000 children are missing. This is the result of the residential school policy implemented by the US and Canadian governments under the care of the Roman Catholic Anglican Protestant and other churches.

Kerry Atjecoutay became aware of this truth from his parents, There, he heard stories of some of the atrocities that the Church had committed. Guided by the Duty of Memory, he courageously started to lift the veil on the complete history of what happened to the Native children in the Christian Residential Schools. Today, Kerry Atjecoutay is looking for answers: why this happened, how this happened, and where are the bones of these lost children. In this spirit, along with other concerned people to bring about a symbolic healing of the Church and the children that suffered under its “care”.

The Indigenous people are waiting for the Church authorities to recognize their participation and responsibility for the Genocide.
