‘The Turkey Feather Cape’: Tribal Elder Offers Insight into Long-forgotten Native American Artifact - (USA)
Cultural artifacts of historical significance are often lost with the passing of time, leaving only those things that have been made of stone or bone - or that have been expertly encased. To the Chickasaw and other southeastern Native American tribes one artifact hard-pressed to withstand the wages of time - the feather cape - was made to honor tribal elders and leaders. Written in the voice of tribal elder Robert Perry, “The Turkey Feather Cape: My Creation from Beyond History” ( published by

Wall-E Park - (USA)
November 24, 2008 On giant piles of trash left by a generation of New Yorkers, landscape architect James Corner is building a park that has the power to change the way we see the past and the future of the city. Let’s start at the end of one story, the story of the dump, with the view from way up on top of it. Let’s start at the peak of what was once a steaming, stinking, seagull-infested mountain of trash, a peak that is now green, or greenish, or maybe more like a green-hued brown, the tall g

Littleton, Colorado - the town that’s not so little! - (USA)
Littleton’s roots are embedded in the Pike’s Peak gold rush of 1859. Trade and farming followed, and the area began to prosper. Without easy access to rivers and creeks, however, it became necessary to build a string of ditches to transfer water to business and farms. This presented the need to hire engineers. Among the hired engineers was the city’s founding father, a New Hampshire native, Richard Sullivan Little. He fell in love with the area, scoped out the land that is present day Litt

Thanksgiving, properly conceived, is a time to pay tribute, or as Craig Biddle puts it, “say justice“–to those who have created the values that sustain us. In that vein, I would like to offer thanks to those whose life-giving contribution makes it possible for me to stomach the morass of the modern world. This is my “top ten” list of human beings in history, to whom I would like to say “thank you.” Aristotle - “The Philosopher” — the fountainhead of Western civilization — the greatest man of
