Spiral to the Stars by Laura Harjo Pdf

All communities are teeming with energy, spirit, and knowledge, and Spiral to the Stars taps into and activates this dynamism to discuss Indigenous community planning from a Mvskoke perspective. This book poses questions about what community is, how to reclaim community, and how to embark on the process of envisioning what and where the community can be. Geographer Laura Harjo demonstrates that Mvskoke communities have what they need to dream, imagine, speculate, and activate the wishes of ancestors, contemporary kin, and future relatives—all in a present temporality—which is Indigenous futurity. Organized around four methodologies—radical sovereignty, community knowledge, collective power, and emergence geographies—Spiral to the Stars provides a path that departs from traditional community-making strategies, which are often extensions of the settler state. Readers are provided a set of methodologies to build genuine community relationships, knowledge, power, and spaces for themselves. Communities don’t have to wait on experts because this book helps them activate their own possibilities and expertise. A detailed final chapter provides participatory tools that can be used in workshop settings or one on one. This book offers a critical and concrete map for community making that leverages Indigenous way-finding tools. Mvskoke narratives thread throughout the text, vividly demonstrating that theories come from lived and felt experiences. This is a must-have book for community organizers, radical pedagogists, and anyone wishing to empower and advocate for their community.

The Sacred Language of the Stars by Peter Trutmann Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK: What if geometric motifs in pre-Columbian American art, long dismissed as merely decorative, hold meaning of astronomical time and ancient cosmovision? In The Sacred Language of the Stars, Dr. Peter Trutmann shares compelling scholarly evidence for this conclusion, culminating in a preliminary dictionary of geometric symbols, and demonstrations of how the three motifs can be used to read richer meaning in complex visual scenes written by ancient Peruvian and Mesoamerican cultures.The book begins with a background on the curious lack of systematic research of these motifs, despite their prevalence in much of the art of pre-Columbian Americans from the south of South America through to North America, and proceeds to the analysis of three motifs: the stair-like stepped motif, the spiral motif, and the triangle motif, which are displayed on the cover of the book. The hypothesized meanings are verified using 'Rosetta Stone'-like scenes featuring the motifs and cross-checked with computer-based astronomic information and early writings.After half a millennium of destruction, suppression, and dismissal of indigenous culture knowing the meaning of these motifs provides new tools to help us interpret history from the perspective of the ancient Americans and gives them back a voice. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Peter Trutmann is a scientist by training. He is author of numerous peer reviewed papers, reviews and books and has worked for well-known universities including Cornell University in the USA, the ETH-Zurich in Switzerland, La Trobe University in Australia and international research organizations. His research frequently connects with ancient and traditional knowledge. From an early professional age he incorporated anthropological approaches into biological research to provide insights into the complexity of constraints on local systems of food production and perceptions of indigenous farmers. Over the last ten years he has been investigating key neglected themes in the Andes with the Swiss NGO, Global Mountain Action. Part of this effort includes a quest to better understand the meaning of the mysterious geometric motifs used from South to North America that until now have been largely overlooked, but which provide insight into the minds, cosmovision and communication of Ancient Americans.

The Spiral Garden : a Novel by Anne Hines Pdf

Reverend Ruth Broggan thinks God has something to answer for. Let go from her busy church in Markham and transferred to a tiny, aging congregation in Toronto, Ruth Broggan finds herself confronted with life’s most terrifying prospect—time to consider what it’s really all about. Letters, e-mails, phone messages and even sermons chronicle Ruth’s crisis of faith. She sorts through how others have found purpose: from Kelly, her Buddhist daughter; from Mark, a priest friend currently on “recall” to Rome to learn to be less flexible; from Kit, a famous lesbian poet who has a long-time unrequited love for Ruth; and even from the rabbi of the synagogue next door. At last, Ruth decides on a radical approach to find the meaning of life: she locks herself into the the manse, refusing to come out until God talks to her.

Death Spiral by William A. Urseth Pdf

Charting the rise and fall of three prolific organizations, this shocking account centers on Cinar Films, a children's television programming company whose founders became multi-millionaires when it went public. Despite this success, one of the CEOs gradually invested an additional $108 million of the company's profit into a Bahamian hedge fund. After numerous tax scams and abuse of corporate funds, the Cinar board declared the investment as "missing" and fired the company's founders. In spite of the ensuing $2.5 million battle that was fought over the next five years, the "Cinar Fire" eventually spread, destroying two other major companies and several careers. From national prominence to financial ruin, this chronicle reveals the character and structural flaws of the complex world of corporate business.
