I've been working on our original website Oyate Ta Olowan.We've been working on adding digital downloads to the site, but it's still a challenge. Oyate is a public radio series that we did on traditional Native American music. We did 52 half hour shows and traveled over 100,000 miles collecting music from all over the Americas. It was a while ago, but people still seem to love it, so we keep offering the shows for sale. It's all a part of our little press Many Kites Press. Life is so amazing, and so full, but we keep on trucking. I hope things are going well for all of you, and that continue to create wonderful things. Later, Milt Lee
We just couldn’t help it. The Bead People have been traveling like crazy this year, spreading their message of inclusion and peace, but they decided to come home for Christmas. They told us they wanted to be on the Christmas tree so we got out our Lakota Christmas Carols, and did some decorating. Merry Christmas!
My youngest son got married to a beautiful girl this last month. Here’s to you guys! It is just wonderful.
Love,
Milt
Warning - this video has pictures of me giving blood, so if watching needles and such bothers you, DON’T watch it. But having said that, i hope that you can get a sense of what it’s like to give blood, and maybe you’ll say - “Well, that’s not so bad- maybe I should give some blood myself - I mean people always need it, and it’s easy and I’ll be you get some really fun food when you are done!”
All of which is true - hope you like it.
Jamie Lee has been busy again! She designed a pack of 64 cards that expand what the Bead People do and mean. Each card has a task that you can do. Every day, you draw one card, and that’s your task for the day - something to keep you connected with your self, your family, the earth, and the plants and animals. Each one is a way to help you look at the world around you, and make it a better place. You can get these wonderful little packs at The Bead People’s website.
