  Nani-Ba-Zhu ~ Mother Earth [Kanza] by Sharon Anne Mau

  Nani-Ba-Zhu ~ Mother Earth [ Kanza ] Alaska Sunset Reflections Chena Lakes One of my personal favourites from my collection: / Chi-Hoota-Wei ~ Many Fires, One Great Light ~ Alaska © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau Sky reflections on Chena Lakes. Titles and quote commentaries are Lodge names and translations of Order of the Arrow Insignia ~ Chi-Hoota-Wei ~ Many Fires, One Great Light ~ Links to websites with more information on First Nations ~ American Native Tribes I was captivated by the dreamy spherical look of the clouds and the beautiful soft pastel colours as they drifted across the sky on the horizon toward the sunset. ~ “Konza; or Kanza ~ The Kansa/Kaw Tribe, also known as “the wind people” The tribe originally lived along the lower Kansas River in villages consisting of conical-shaped lodges. The Kaw Tribe, formerly known as the Kansa (or Konza) at one time stretched over 20 million acres across northern Kansas into Nebraska and Missouri. In 1825, a treaty was signed by the Kanza Tribe in which the Tribe “agreed” to sell a large portion of its land base and relocated to a reservation near present day Topeka, Kansas. The Kansa lived a semi-nomadic life, depending primarily on buffalo hunting and some farming for their food. They obtained social prestige and honor only in combat, and their chiefs were chosen for bravery and wisdom. The culture of the Kansa was that of the Plains people of the central United States. Typical of the Plains culture area, adolescent boys underwent a puberty rite known as the vision quest-a period of isolation meant to invoke supernatural images. Religious beliefs were centered around spirits associated with nature. Highly developed burial customs were followed; the body was placed in a shallow grave with food, clothing, and other needs for the afterlife. By 1840 the lands of the Kansa had been acquired by the United States government and incorporated into the so-called Indian Territory, to which many Native Americans were being removed. In 1846, the Kaw numbering about 1,600, signed another treaty and moved southwestward near what is known today as Council Grove, Kansas Kanza ~ Kaw Nation

  I shot this through the kitchen window, hence it's not as clear as it ought to be. by mrcoradour

  Not as colourful as some of its relatives, the coal tit has a distinctive grey back, black cap, and white patch at the back of its neck. Its smaller, more slender bill than blue or great tits means it can feed more successfully in conifers. A regular visitor to most peanut feeders, they will take and store food for eating later. In winter they join with other tits to form flocks which roam through woodlands and gardens in search of food.
