“If we lose our language, we will have done what the government failed to do for centuries, to eradicate our language and our way of life as the Creator meant for us,” Medawis, who is Potawatomi, Odawa, and Ho-Chunk. “Our ceremonies are dependent on the use of our language today. Some of our people are confused and have no identity because they do not know our language.”

ALLENDALE, Mich. — Mike Medawis, language coordinator at Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi, told an audience of students and faculty at Grand Valley State University that tribal languages are in a state of emergency. He added if we do not act they may become extinct.

WINS in Alaska!

“The final margin for Ballot Measure 2, pending certification, is 664 out of 340,110 votes, with “No” outpacing “Yes” 50.1% to 49.9%.

The No on 2 campaign said the failure of the ballot measure was “a win by Alaskans, for Alaskans, which will benefit our state for generations to come.”

Phil Izon, who led the campaign in support of the ballot measure, said he planned to submit a recount request once the election is certified.

Protect Ohio Home Rule & #RankedChoiceVoting Call/email your Senator & Rep to Vote No on SB137. I am here today to Oppose Senate Bill 137. When a powerful industry or organization wants to get their way in Ohio, they don’t mess around with the communities that host the land they might want, or make laws they don’t like. They go straight to the the Ohio State House, the General Assembly and make their case that the Issue should be controlled by the State, not the Municipalities. It’s called State Preemption law. The magical law, State Legislators & their Powerful Friends can make without asking the People. Side note: A great number of these State Preemption laws- are template laws, straight from ideological political think tank play books - aka ALEC, libertarian American Legislative Exchange Council - to make it easy peasy for law makers to Sponsor their Bill.

And voila- City governments were no longer a nuisance. Municipalities could no longer CHOOSE whether or not they wanted this toxic industrial process that impacts their water, air and soil, in their city. Easy Peasy. Oh, And Oil & Gas came back later to have their friendly Lawmakers ban plastic bag bans too. When Big Ag wanted more Cash, they came to the Ohio General Assembly - those troublesome Toledoans passed a city law to give LAKE ERIE a BILL OF RIGHTS to EXIST, FLOURISH AND EVOLVE! How dare they threaten the burgeoning NE Ohio CAFO’s - Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations - aka Factory Farms with all that good HOG & Chicken Manure Ohioans can spread on their Food Crops- for Clean and Safe Drinking Water! Then corporate Ag and the State of Ohio, with
