As anthropologist Patrick Wolfe writes, “The question of genocide is never far from discussions of settler colonialism. Land is life—or, at least, land is necessary for life.” The history of the United States is a history of settler colonialism— the founding of a state based on the ideology of white supremacy, the widespread practice of African slavery, and a policy of genocide and land theft. Those who seek history with an upbeat ending, a history of redemption and reconciliation, may look around and observe that such a conclusion is not visible, not even in utopian dreams of a better society.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eSpanning more than 400 years, this is the first history of the US told from the perspective of indigenous peoples.

And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised by popular cultural figures, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military.

While there are no easy answers, there is much important work to do in ourselves, our organizations, our communities and our world. Thanks to the diverse team of advisors who generously assisted SCW on this project: Ionah Dance, Janet Flores, Vanessa Johnson, Matt Meyer, Mieko Palazzo, Cjala Surratt and Julio Urrutia.

My work in community as artist, baker and organic gardener has created many opportunities to share culture with folks from the Onondaga Nation. Over breakfast at the Village Eatery in Jamesville, NY, our conversation had drifted to our children and the constant dose of TV and video games that so consume their time and energy. Jeanne wished there was a way to put Haudenosaunee core teachings back into their daily lives. The Thanksgiving Address (literally”the words before all else”) came to mind, as these words best express the importance of living in harmony with the natural world. Recited to open and close civil and religious meetings (as well as a daily sunrise greeting) the Address thanks each life-sustaining aspect of our lives, connecting all present in harmony with one another and the natural world. As art director at Syracuse Cultural Workers, one of my jobs is to help create these kinds of visual “tools for change”. The thoughts in the Address flow from “greetings and thanks to each other as people” to thanking the earth, the waters and fish, the plants and animals, the winds and 4 directions, the thunderers, the sun and moon and stars, the teachers and all the gifts of creation. The shared experience of reciting or listening to these words puts “our minds as one” and conveys respect for all that surrounds us. I wanted to preserve the flow of thoughts and was challenged to create a “slow release” poster. With Jeanne’s 60th birthday coming up, I gathered many of my thumbnail drawings, taping them together much like those packets of postcards you buy in souvenir shops. The card opened like an accordion, over 5 feet long, working as both poster to hang on wall or small book to rest on table or nightstand. Jeanne was thrilled. So was I. My copy hangs next to the sink in my bathroom. Every day my eyes scan down and linger here or there…reconnecting me to the world around and recommitting me to my daily work in this world. \u003cbr\u003e-Karen Kerney \/ Art Director emerita\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"width: 65%; border: 0 none; border-top: thin solid #CCC; margin: 0 auto 10px 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe \"Greetings and Thanks\" poster was given to me by the poster artist, Karen Kerney, during a particularly challenging time in my life in Syracuse, NY.

Shortly after receiving the gift of that poster, I moved from Syracuse to Albuquerque, NM. Imagine my delight on my first day in NM when I discovered that poster hanging at the front desk of my new office.

Vietnamese resistance and the anti-war movement (military and civilian) forced withdrawal of all troops and the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in January, 1973. The war’s horrific toll: Viet Nam – 2,000,000 dead, 3,000,000 wounded, 13,000,000 refugees, 200,000 MIA’s; USA – 58,000 dead, 304,000 wounded, 1,900 MIA’s.

Ther Pentagon papers, released by early whistleblowers Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo, showed otherwise. Rather, it was a calculated attempt to suppress a popular movement that was unfriendly to capitalism and western domination. Similar actions against Chile, Nicaragua, Guatemala, the Zapatistas in Mexico, Iraq and Afghanistan show US foreign policy is not guided by democratic ideals but by transnational corporations, greed, military power, and economic domination.

It relays the transformational journeys of Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, queer, and Palestinian Jews who have come to reject the received Zionist narrative. Unflinching in their confrontation of the power dynamics that underlie their transformation process, these writers find the courage to face what has happened to historic Palestine, and to their own families as a result.
