The images of the skunk, official mascot of this years Barter Fair, and the I-Ching hexagram Gathering Together adorn this years official Barter Fair tie-dye t-shirt. You can get yours for just ten dollars when you get there. You may have to drive all the way from San Francisco just for the weekend, but itll be worth it. Every crystal sucking, tree hugging, dirt worshipping earth muffin, white witch, Ashland yippie, and backwoods hippie in Southern Oregon will be there, and itll be fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! You can camp with your old pow-wow pals. Their campsite is pretty full, but theres still room for one more tent. Want to buy a corn snake? Take a ride on the space wheel or a giant rocking horse? Hear the tree-sitters story? Watch the corn dance or listen to the Native American drummers and singers? You might even want to buy one of those famous Barter Fair goo balls. Youll probably have even more fun if you do! Dont miss the big parade, complete with skeleton band, naked mud dancers, and giant puppets. Its Saturday afternoon, and the Barter Fair is in full swing. Want to get pierced or tattooed? Hungry? Get something good to eat at the Rainbow Kitchen or the totally hemp food booth. You can get an animal spirit guide reading or cast the I-Ching. You can have your palm read, your hair braided, your aura analyzed, your future told, or your past lives revealed! Later, visit the earth, air, fire, and water installations, watch the full harvest moon rise, and dance, dance, dance as the Lions of Jah lay down some cool reggae tunes. Then, find out what goes on after the day crowd departs. Sunday morning, theres still time to check out the hemp house, sky chairs, and dog pods or visit the belly dancers camp. And hey, dont go home without a crystal or two. Those corn snakes are still for sale! So are the goo balls!
Come to Southern Oregon and meet the elders, children, drummers, dancers, vendors, and other pow-wow regulars and hangers-on at the annual Wolf Creek pow-wow. Be there for set-up, shopping and swapping, cooling off in the river. You may even want to jump down the waterfall. You wouldnt want to miss the tribal salmon feed and potluck supper, would you? Then theres smudging and drumming around the campfire, plus late night high jinx. Get up early for the flag-raising ceremony the next day, and dance at the afternoon pow-wow. Youre invited to chili night at Pam and Robs camp too. What happens, though, when most of the drum groups counted on for the evening event just disappear? Who will save the pow-wow? That task falls to an unlikely group of make-do drummers rounded up at the last minute and aided by Menominee elder, Deep Water. Hurray! They pull it off! Dont head home yet. The fun is just starting! The ceremonial pow-wow may be a serious and spiritual celebration of Native American culture, but what happens afterwards? Join sisters Sarah and Suzanne in the field under the stars for the annual family naming ceremony and walk with them on safety patrol. All sorts of things are going on out there, and what are those teenagers doing over at the river? It may be getting very late, but the nights still young. Sit in Less teepee as he divides up the drum money from the blanket dance and hang out for marshmallow roasting, crazy talk around the campfire, and teepee creeping. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, but first, theres tear-down, clean-up, and the raffle. But dont worry, therell be another pow-wow soon, and until then, just keep on the Good Red Road!
Aw, a new puppy! How sweet! How precious and adorable! How wrong! Little Ozzy turns out to be the monster that destroys a family's peace and harmony. Or does he? The whole situation is so complex, and the run-up to the Dog War so fraught with complications, that it is completely unreasonable to conclude that it began with any one event - not even the arrival of Ozzy on that fateful day in April. It makes no sense to see the Dog War as an isolated episode, and once it really exploded, it stirred up a lot of old feelings and memories, recollections and resentments that perhaps would have been better forgotten. The Dog War was just a scrimmage in a much larger and longer running series of conflicts. And while the history of the Dog Wars is a story of conflict, it is also a story of victory. Although it is a story of struggle, it is a story of triumph too.
