#LakeOntario " #LakeAmerica" #Trump bullshit is an insult to #NativeAmerican peoples
Says me?
Says #JCSeneca, president of the #Seneca Nation, of the #Haudenosaunee ( #Iroquois) Confederacy
A blistering good read:
"We will always call Lake Ontario by the name derived from the language of our ancestors – the name that, like the strength and influence of the Seneca people, will live on forever, long after the intrusive political tirades of individual men"

10 #IndigenousGardening Techniques Still Used Today
By: Robin Sweetser, May 3, 2026
"As gardeners, we are connected to all people who have come before us, caring for the earth and learning how to best grow crops. Ready for the best gardening techniques? Let’s have a look at some age-old gardening wisdom that’s still relevant today.
A Long History of #Gardening
#Gourds, #beans, and #peppers were being cultivated in #Mexico by 5500 BC, and by 5000 BC, #maize was being grown in #Mesoamerica, and #potatoes in #SouthAmerica. The success or failure of these crops had a major impact on people’s survival. It was critical not only that the land provided sustenance but that it sustained them year after year, which required knowledge of #sustainable growing techniques to preserve the land for future generations.
We hear buzzwords like 'sustainable' or 'permaculture' and 'organic' today. But these techniques were here long before we started talking about 'going green.' Perhaps your grandparents also knew some of the older, gentler ways. Many are simply intuitive and based on fostering a closer relationship with nature and the land. If you don’t already, you might want to think about integrating some of these techniques into your own landscape.
Many of the following practices are often viewed as 'new' to the gardening world, but they’ve been around for a long, long time. They have all been traditionally used by #NativeAmerican peoples, but that is not to say that all of these techniques were used by all Native American cultures. Just like separate countries, #Indigenous cultures vary widely in their gardening philosophies and techniques. Below are just a few #sustainable, Earth-conscious ways to grow a better garden.
These practices originate from diverse Indigenous nations across North and South America, including the #Haudenosaunee (#Iroquois), #Hopi, #Wampanoag, and many others. Agricultural traditions varied widely by climate, geography, and culture.
Companion Planting (the #ThreeSisters Method)
Time-honored gardening wisdom says that certain plants, when grown together, improve each other’s health and yields. For instance, some plants attract beneficial insects that help to protect a companion, while other plants (particularly herbs) act as repellents.
A commonly cited example is the Three Sisters Garden, which has been traditionally practiced by the Wampanoag people of what is now the northeastern United States. A prime demonstration of companion planting at its best, corn provides support for pole beans to climb, the beans add nitrogen to the soil for future crops to use, and squash leaves shade the soil around the taller plants, like a living mulch. Squash’s prickly leaves also deter marauding animal pests. Some would add a fourth sister—a flowering plant such as #sunflowers—to draw in #pollinators.
#Intercropping or #polyculture of plants that have mutual benefits (aka companion planting) mimics the way different species grow together in nature. #Monoculture, on the other hand, leads to the exhaustion of soil nutrients. Indigenous people also discovered that plant diversity meant diet diversity. If one crop should fail, the others could fill that void.
Try 'intercropping' in your vegetable garden. Sneak small crops in between bigger ones; the small crops will be ready before the big ones need the space.
#Terracing for #SoilConservation
Terracing creates flat planting beds in hilly terrain. Taming the steep slopes slows runoff, allowing water to seep into the beds and curb erosion.
Creating terraces in which to garden is an especially good way to garden where rain is seasonal, sporadic, and often comes in heavy downpours. In the southwestern U.S., for example, terracing was key to the agricultural success of the Anasazi and their descendants, the #Hopi, who still use terraced gardens today. This can be seen in the village of #HotevillaBacavi, in northern Arizona, where traditional #TerracedGardens were restored in the 1990s.
If you wish to garden sustainably on sloped land for years to come, the use of terracing is essential in avoiding soil erosion that carries your precious topsoil away.
There are different types of #terracing. If you have a slope, consider using some rocks or retaining walls to create a series of flattened areas, mitigating runoff. Ancient terraces are seen all over the steep terrain in #Greece, too.
Traditional Irrigation Methods
Thousands of years ago, the Anasazi people inhabited what is now the Four Corners region of the U.S., an area known for its low annual rainfall. They traditionally built catchments, check dams (dams made of rock that held onto soil but allowed water to pass through), and reservoirs to collect the infrequent stormwater. The Hopi people of northern Arizona also use these age-old techniques to irrigate their gardens in this arid landscape, although modern technology has allowed for expanded #WaterConservation efforts.
If you live in a dry area, storing water in ponds, cisterns, or even a #RainBarrel is a wise idea, as the reserved water can be used for irrigation as needed.
Conversely, in areas with floods, people learned how to use what could be destructive as a way to boost productivity. For example, one technique was to create shallow depressions so that when the floodwaters rose, the water could be stored. Another technique was to use #canals near rivers to divert water to nearby farmland."

The Fentanyl + urine exchange that Alex Karp and Nick Zamiska had on stage last year wasn't reported on as widely as it should have been.
"Well, I love the idea of getting a drone
and having light #fentanyl laced urine spraying on [financial] analysts who tried to screw us."
Alex Karp tweaks like a meth tweaker, and after seeing this vid, you will probably agree that just maybe the #Venezuela thing isn't about oil after all but instead about his personal addiction to cocaine.
Alex Karp is the CEO of Palantir, a company of fragile and emasculated tech bros who can barely read or write that has over only the last year exploded to a market cap larger than #Netflix, #Chevron, Procter and Gamble, Micron, and Intel -- companies with hundreds of billions of dollars more in actual revenue, assets, PP&E, business plans.... Palantir's irrational and false market cap is one of the biggest mysteries in #DataScience. Palantir is currently under the infamous Cramer Curse, so don't worry too much about the mystery lasting much longer.
So Karp -- whose future "behind bars" of that cushy Federal Prison System is all but guaranteed for that illegal [bid rigging] -- rigged bids on the shrunken US government sinkhole burdened with 39 trillion dollars in debt, so don't worry about this company lasting.
Naw, this isn't only about racial profiling, the ugly whiteness behind ImmigrationOS, or Karp's sick and twisted mind that wants to spray fentanyl and urine on people who are better at math than he'll ever be.
It's time society disregard the fragile feelings of those emasculated pimple-faced teens walking around Palantir's Palo Alto campus. According to #GNCA -- Gamer Nexus Consumer #Advocacy, whose main YouTube guy is probably making a huge mistake in agreeing to go to Palantir's office to "interview" these batshit crazies -- Palantir will fail at its attempt to become a "lifestyle brand". Not to mention the copyright infrigement JRR Tolkien's estate can and should sue for.
What it all boils down to is this: Israel is two (and only two) companies that have the most overpaid CEOs in America: Meta and Palantir. Those fragile, friendless, rejected by women everywhere losers are most invested in concentration camps and bloodbath both in Palestine and the US.
It's not the government, folks. The government framework stolen from #Iroquois #Confederacy explicitly punishes fascistic behavior. The vets need not fret once they realize this (and more are waking up every day)
Destroying two and only two corporations will minimize civilian casualties and ensure America's diverse citizenry (which I do love) will thrive.
Once we get rid of Meta Platforms, Inc. and Palantir, whose CEOs are paralyzed by the need to appear "winning" when they are actual LOSERS?
LEARN THE FACTS AND STOP TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE PROBLEM.
So what is the solution? The Iroquiois Confederacy will need back its all-women Supreme Court, as well, for optimal solution.
An enemy Bigfoot was captured, killed and then scalped by Iroquois warriors in 1786 — and the grisly trophy has just resurfaced after more than 200 years! #bigfoot #iroquois #weeklyworldnews
A cool local news story from #WesternNY for you:
"#Rochester Knighthawks purchased by #Seneca Nation"
So what?
The #lacrosse team was in danger of being shut down
The #Haudenosaunee aka #Iroquois, including the Seneca, invented lacrosse
They called lacrosse "little brother of war" because games were a diplomatic way to resolve disputes without all out war
"Lacrosse is part of our culture and Rochester is part of our ancestral home"

The Role of Women in #Iroquois Society
May 26, 2024
Learn about the #matrilineal structure and the influential roles women play in governance and daily life.
"Women in Iroquois society held significant power and influence, a reflection of the matrilineal structure of their clans. This matrilineal system meant that lineage and inheritance were passed down through the mother’s line, which was relatively unique among Native American cultures.
Political Influence
"Iroquois women had a decisive role in the governance of their communities. #ClanMothers, the eldest women in the clan, had the authority to nominate and depose the male leaders, or #sachems, who represented their clans in the Grand Council. These women were highly respected and played a key role in ensuring that the leaders acted in the best interests of the people."

The Haudenosaunee Nationals men's team, playing at the 2022 World Games, where they finished 5th. They are currently ranked third in the larger world of Lacrosse, a game that the nations of the Haudenosaunee invented nearly a thousand years ago. It is the oldest organized sport still played in North America.

it is amazing isn't it? the #haudenosaunee / #iroquois deserve more recognition in how they helped shape the #constitution of the #USA
but unfortunately #american #education denigrates and deemphasizes contributions to the formation of the usa from #women, #black people, #native americans, etc, and elevates only white men
and me, like you, only learn these things later in life
we must change that
