Certain Death in the American Promise to these Frontiersmen
Haiku for Pioneers' Peril
No hope since the fire.
Great forests devastated
to seas of black trunks.
*
Eagle scours the hills
and hunts the ash of his prey.
His stomach turns black.
*
Wounded wagon train
crawls burnt hillside - red natives
lie in ambuscade.
*
Frontier horizon
burns Manifest Destiny
in dreamscape furnace.

Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.
