Volcano Building Basics
Science is so much fun! If it were up to Milo and Kiah, they would do science all day, every day!
Here are the directions to build a simple, yet effective volcano…
First, you will need a tub to put everything in and a pint-sized mason jar (or any jar for that matter) to hold the “volcanic” ingredients.
Next, follow Milo’s instructions: Please note that we only had apple cider vinegar on hand…it is recommended to use white or distilled vinegar. Also, any dish soap will work, in this instance, we used Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds.
Once the “volcano” has been built and packed around the jar, Milo also says you can ”add some prettiness if you want, like stones and little trees”.
Finally, gather around with friends, follow the steps above, and Wah Lah!
We found that the “explosion” happens rather quickly, so if you add a bit more vinegar at the end, you will get a second explosion!!
Milo does a jig!
Milo created a new product for the booth!
Handmade T-N-T! It’s dyn-o-mite!
He was using the waste ends from our streamers but they ended up being such a huge hit, we had to buy him wood to make more! He sells more dynamite than we sell streamers…
To help Milo be more independent with his creations, His Papa, Mojo, made him a “jig”.
Now he can make his little packs of T-N-T all by himself!
Wah La!!!

It is All the Same Disease of Consumption
Eagle Rock could just as easily be the place, it is all the same disease of consumption.
A Christian could find the answer in Chronicles 7:14
Same problem: and the same solution, but the solution seems so far out of our reach.
Subject: A letter from Chief Arvol Looking horse – A great Urgency
To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders
My Relatives,
Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.
We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things.
As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.
The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.
I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.
I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and
prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth.
As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc’I Maka). We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.
As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life. So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make
a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and the generations to come.
