Hi,
I thought you might be interested in this video about tradition of Lacrosse and the Lacrosse clinic held by the NB3Foundation. You can view the video here: http://www.notah.com or you can embed it in your site directly using the embed code included in the video.
Lacrosse has a long history tied to the traditions of Iroquois tribes. For one day, thanks to the NB3 Foundation Native American teens learned about the game, learning the rules and skills and fostering an interest in this unique part of their heritage.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Natalie
A picture is worth a thousand words.
BP is restricting photography of the spill. See: http://www.newsweek.com/2010/05/26/the-missing-oil-spill-photos.html

Not willing to give into the notion of doing nothing, the Center for a Better South has launched a new project to shine a different light on what’s happening in the Gulf. The center, a pragmatic nonpartisan policy think tank, has started a collaborative photo blog — http://www.BetterGulf.org — to pair vivid images of what the spill means to people with their stories and perspectives.
Please encourage everyone to send photos of the spill to http://www.bettergulf.org
Together we can show and document the truth.
Thanks!
The Tanzanian Government is going to build a highway crossing throught the World Heritage Site Serengeti National Park. The Highway will cut the annual migratory route of more than 1,8 millions of mammals. The Frankfurt Zoological Society has estimated 80% of them will die.
