NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reiterated in a recent interview with El Pais that Russia, as a non-NATO country, has no say in which states can join the Alliance.

”The Washington Treaty of 1949 allows any country in the Euro-Atlantic area to join,” Rutte said.

We leave for Saraguro today to meet with a community and present our project. It is an exciting time to be an anthropologist.

The community is about one third indigenous.Traditional agriculture is the primary occupation. The spiritual beliefs and traditions remain strong.

Turnout for the Indivisible Ecuador No Kings protest rally was the largest we've ever seen. Thanks to all who helped make it possible, and all who attended!

Wonders never cease. I just got word that the publisher of my book on Texas Archeology had been acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing, UK.

It languished under Rowman and Littlefield for decades. So, it looks like I may be getting royalties from it again.

100 thousand marched against the gold mining project in Kimsakocha. The permit had been revoked. The water will flow untouched and uncontaminated.

Ancestral Wisdom

As darkness overtakes us from the east, we kindle a fire. Our fire doesn't banish the dark; it preserves the light. Around it we gather. We hold one another in respect. This is how we overcome the darkness: one circle of light, then another. And in time, the daylight returns.
