Song for Autumn
On fields o’er which the reaper’s hand has pass’d Lit by the harvest moon and autumn sun, My thoughts like stubble floating in the wind And of such fineness as October airs, There after harvest could I glean my life A richer harvest reaping without toil, And weaving gorgeous fancies at my will In subtler webs than finest summer haze.

On Fields O'er Which the Reaper's Hand has Passed
On fields o’er which the reaper’s hand has pass’d Lit by the harvest moon and autumn sun, My thoughts like stubble floating in the wind And of such fineness as October airs, There after harvest could I glean my life A richer harvest reaping without toil, And weaving gorgeous fancies at my will In subtler webs than finest summer haze.

Autumn Song
Know’st thou not at the fall of the leaf How the heart feels a languid grief Laid on it for a covering, And how sleep seems a goodly thing In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?
And how the swift beat of the brain Falters because it is in vain, In Autumn at the fall of the leaf Knowest thou not? and how the chief Of joys seems—not to suffer pain?
Know’st thou not at the fall of the leaf How...
Equinox Poem
I must keep from breaking into the story by force for if I do I will find myself with a war club in my hand and the smoke of grief staggering toward the sun, your nation dead beside you.
I keep walking away though it has been an eternity and from each drop of blood springs up sons and daughters, trees, a mountain of sorrows, of songs.
I tell you this from the dusk of a small city in the...
May I not be burdened by that which I am caple of...

Natives protest The Dudesons →
We watched The Dudesons last night. It was horrible. Over and over these crazy white men in headdresses and feathers would injure themselves and scream things like, “I’m becoming a Native American!” One man injured his testicles and anus, screamed, “I think I ripped my a***ole!” and his friends replied, “You’re the Chief now!”
A Native perspective on ‘Cowboys and Findians’ →
On May 13, MTV aired a controversial episode of “The Dudesons in America” entitled “Cowboys and Findians.” The episode, which portrayed four Finnish actors seeking to become American Indians through a series of dangerous and life-threatening stunts, created such an uproar across Indian country that there were protests and online petitions threatening boycotts, and MTV pulled the episode from...
Another glorious day, the air as delicious to the lungs as nectar to the tongue.
