“The military is the largest polluter in the country, and so you have a lot of military waste contaminating reservations - as, for example, on the Skull Valley Goshute Reservation, where 5,000 sheep died in some kind of experimental military nerve gas test 10 years ago. Many of our communities are dealing with that kind of waste, and an absence of political will to clean them up.” YearsKindCountryPoliticalCommunityMilitaryExampleWasteYears AgoTestsDiedCleanEnvironmentalAbsenceGasNervesValleysSheepPollutionSkullsOur CommunityReservationsPolitical Will Author:Winona LaDuke
“The scriptures provide one of the best ways to find our course and stay on it. Scriptural knowledge also provides precious protection. For example, throughout history, infections like “childbirth fever” claimed the lives of many innocent mothers and babies. Yet the Old Testament had the correct principles for the handling of infected patients, written more than 3,000 years ago! Many people perished because man’s quest for knowledge had failed to heed the word of the Lord!” PeopleMenWayYearsMotherCoursesLordPrinciplesWrittenExampleBabyYears AgoPatientProtectionScriptureBest WayInnocentQuestsTestamentFeverHeedOld TestamentChildbirthInfectionMother And Baby Author:Russell M.

“Words can mean different things to different people. It is important to understand what people mean when they use a certain word. Let's make an example. Take the word gay. Fifty years ago, gay meant exclusively cheerfulness, lighthearted excitement, merry or bright colors. Today this word has a different meaning. You won't call a cheerful person gay because it could be understood as something else.” PeopleYearsMeanPersonsImportantDifferentUseTodayCertainExampleColorGayUnderstoodYears AgoExcitementFiftyDifferent ThingsCheerfulDifferent PeoplesMerryCheerfulnessDifferent MeaningsBright Colors Author:Ali Sina
“Well, we have got to understand, for example, Russia is an orthodox Christian nation. So is Ukraine. That happened in 988 in Crimea, a place called Kievan Rus, which was the Russia around Kiev at that time.

“I remember when I read Walter, for example, six years ago now, I said, "This is the role for me." I said that to my family. There was something there that I knew was absolutely right, and that was just based on the character. That's when gut instinct comes into play. I know there are certain things I won't do.” KnowsYearsSaidPlayCharacterRememberCertainRolesExampleSixYears AgoMy FamilyInstinctGutsRemember WhenGut Instinct Author:John Noble
“Autobiographical writings, essays, interviews, various other things... All the non-fiction prose I wanted to keep, that was the idea behind this collected volume, which came out about few years ago. I didn't think of Winter Journal, for example, as an autobiography, or a memoir. What it is is a literary work, composed of autobiographical fragments, but trying to attain, I hope, the effect of music.” ThinkingWritingTryingYearsIdeasWantedBehindsFictionEffectsExampleYears AgoWinterVariousMemoirInterviewsProseVolumeJournalAutobiographyEssaysFragmentsNon FictionLiterary WorksWriting Essays Author:Paul Auster
