This article from the LATimes, demonstrates a quiet and peaceful resistance to perceived injuries and unfairness by the USGovernment. This woman prays daily for the right to stay where she is. Whether or not one agrees with her point on the legalities of the situation, it is interesting that a small woman has not faced violence over her point of view. For my Native American women writers' class this may be a good model for a representation of women from the past.
Increasingly the need for peace grows greater. In this blog, I hope to cull readings and activities which may lead to peace. First and foremost, knowing and understanding people from different backgrounds, in my opinion, will lead us to a willingness to avoid war and work for peace in this world.
