And:

'... the lightness of being hits me. I feel it in my belly first. Soft. From there it branches out and touches every part of my body until each cell seems to shine with joy. From honest work. From thankfulness for each person in the boat. And from gratitude for the waters that have given for generations.'

Water for ceremonial and #subsistence #gardens was also denied. The court publicly listed nearly 100 #sacredsprings with limits on how much water the tribe was entitled to use for #religious #ceremonies.

In total, the tribe had requested at least 96,074 acre-feet a year of water, and the Arizona #watermaster recommended awarding just 28,988 acre-feet, all of it from the same #depleted, #contaminated #aquifer and seasonal streams the Hopi already use. After four decades, they ended up in the same precarious position they’d started.

#BrokenTaillight #racism is #redlined into the #socialfabric: It’s common, though misguided, for US leaders to brush aside comparisons to famously #multimodal cities like Copenhagen and Berlin, insisting that #American #autocentrism is too deeply ingrained to be dislodged. But it’s much harder to dismiss the stunning progress in the European Union’s host #city.

Two Alaska Tribal Organizations Sue the Federal Government to Protect Subsistence Fishing as the Salmon Crisis Intensifies

My preference would be to have no sport hunting in the Preserves, yet honor #Indigenous #Subsistence practices, but I get that deals were made to achieve some level of protection for the Preserves. That Congress, including Murkowski, Sullivan, & Peltola, want to allow AK to say what goes on there is infuriating to me. They seem to have no conscience. My letter to NPS:

#Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" is not an achievement ladder. The only people who think "#money can't buy you #happiness" are people who have enough money that their #subsistence needs are comfortably met and want for nothing but self-actualization.

#Enlightenment #neorationalism (I’d respectfully include #ChristopherHitchens here and #RichardDawkins) sometimes, perhaps typically, confuse belief-in-x (eg. ‘I believe the wafer is the flesh of Christ’) with a non-credal attitude more in line with a default-life pattern: the only alternative to not sleeping or not working (some folkloric music provides relief). Church attendance isn’t about #epistemology when you’re a #subsistence #farmer. And nor is it about high brow #theology. #rural

@rbreich I think humanity needs to move on to a #PostEmployment phase. As more and more tasks become #automated we simply cannot sustain a society where a person's ability to enjoy a life beyond the most basic #subsistence level is contingent upon them having a #job. Which means we need to #educate ourselves to find a sense of self worth in following our own #interests and #passion rather than our #JobDescription

Gloria Dickie: One year after volcanic blast, many of Tonga's reefs lie silent

"While commercial fisheries contribute only 2.3% to the national economy, #subsistence #fishing is considered crucial in making up a staple of the Tongan diet."

The rise of Africa hinges on agricultural productivity - Daily Friend

In the operational chain, all the steps of production, use, and final discard of the object are considered. Thus we are investigating the human group #technology. The stone tool technology is related to other spheres of human activity, like #subsistence. 4/

On today's unschool field trip, we visited the Low Technology Institute. The central question at the LTI: how do you plan to thrive after fossil fuels? The LTI offers a glimpse of what things might be like. Life is good, but it's slower and more local than what many of us are accustomed to. https://lowtechinstitute.org

Onion and garlic harvest is done. I'll let them dry out for a week or so and then plait them. Should do for a while! And now we have space for the winter brassicas. House is also now vampire-safe. #gardening #subsistence #harvest
