157.0. "Sun Bear" by GALACH::MORGAN (Walk in Balance...) Sun Jun 29 1986 23:31

      Well folks it seems that I am very seriously considering going
    up to Washington to visit Sun Bear.  He has a ten day screening
    program for persons interested in his "medicine".
    
      Sun Bear is a Chipowa medicine man who has the vision that all men
    and women can be educated in the Native American mysteries. 

      Has anyone heard anything about his school?  He wrote "The Path
    of Power" and some other books about medicine wheels.  He also manages
    to publish "WildFire" which was previously "Many Smokes".
    
      Any news?  Heard anything that you liked or didn't like?

157.1Just read WildfireWFOVX3::ESCARCIDAMon Jun 30 1986 11:3615
    Just recently I picked up a copy of Wildfire, the magazine published
    by Sun Bear and found it to be very interesting.  An article in
    this particular publication was on the Big Mountain situation occuring
    in Flagstaff AZ and was very enlightening.  If anyone would like a
    copy of that article I would be very happy to generate it and mail
    it them.  Just let me know.  
    
    Of Sun Bear...I think I will probably subscribe to the magazine
    but I will wait and learn more of him before I arrive at any
    conclusions.
    Regarding Big Mountain.......Damn I wish there was something I could
    do....I feel so helpless.

157.3Wildfire articleWFOVX3::ESCARCIDAMon Jun 30 1986 13:2718
    Re .2
    Basically, it deals with scared land being taken away from the Indians
    and thus forced relocation.  History repeats itself folks. 
    
    Big Mountain is rich in minerals, coal, and oil and is owned by the 
    Navajo Indians.
    
    Mr. Moderator, would it be possible to copy the Wildfire Article
    and post it here?  I have had requests for the article itself and
    was wondering if there are others who would read it if it were posted.
    
    I guess the question is .....should I?  I will if the consensus
    is yes .....otherwise I won't waste my time and will just mail out
    copies to those who have already requested them.
    
    Let me know.

157.4Why not?HUDSON::STANLEYTouch of GreyMon Jun 30 1986 14:448
    Re: .3
    
    I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to enter the article here.
    I would be interested in reading it if you don't mind typing it
    in.  You might also include info on how to subscribe to Wildfire
    (if you have it).

157.5Write the RepVAXUUM::DYERWage PeaceSun Jul 27 1986 13:175
	    The most effective thing you can do with Big Mountain is to
	write your representative and ask for a repeal of PL 93-531.
	Since this isn't a political notesfile, I'll put detail in
	FORUM (and leave a pointer here to the notesfile and the note).

    Didn't ever go. I got involved in other activities that met my needs
    locally.
    
    I still think it's a good idea though.

157.10Sun Bear -- Bear TribeDECWET::TPFRAMESun Nov 28 1993 15:4210
    this reply is long overdue.. yes, and he has died..  but Wabun Wind and the
    rest of his tribe (the Bear Tribe) have gone forward and are
    continuing to spread his 'vision' and still have Pow Wows and
    classes in Wa. per Sun Bear's (aka fun Bear 8-)..meant with love
    and respect) request.
