The Stanford Chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society meets every Monday at noon!
Hey Natives,
We hope all of you had a wonderful weekend, and best of luck to your second week of classes!! Do you want to start your week off right?
Then come to AISES's first meeting of the year. Come enjoy lunch (on us!) at the center at 12PM on Monday while learning what AISES (American Indian Science & Engineering Society) is all about.
You do not have to be an Engineer to come to our meetings, and you do not have to be Native. So don't be afraid to bring some of your friends on over.
If you want to have fun, meet awesome people, enjoy free food, and meet people who can land you an outstanding internship with companies like Google, JPL, and NASA then AISES is right for you.
We hope to see you there,
Wyatt and Laci
-Your AISES President and Vice-President

AIM-WEST Salutes the Island Warriors of 1969-1971!
A Tribute to the 40th Anniversary
PROCLAMATION:
“To the Great White Father and All His People, WE THE NATIVE AMERICANS, reclaim the land known as Alcatraz Island in the name of all American Indians by right of discovery. We wish to be fair and honorable in our dealings with the Caucasian inhabitants of this land, and hereby offer the following treaty: We will purchase said Alcatraz Island for twenty-four dollars ($24) in glass beads and red cloth, a precedent set by the white man’s purchase of a similar island about 300 years ago. We know that $24 in trade goods for these 16 acres is more than was paid when Manhattan Island was sold, but we know that land values have risen over the years. Our off of $ 1.24 per acre is greater than the 47 cents per acre the white men are now paying the California Indians for their land….Signed, Indians of All Tribes, November 1969, San Francisco, California.”
With this profound proclamation and the gallant actions necessitated by the young brave’s so began a movement of Indigenous activism that awoke America, and sent a thunder-clap around the world that has now culminated in the historic adoption by the United Nations General Assembly on September 13, 2007 of the “Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”.
Please make a date to be with us Wednesday, November 4th to honor and commemorate those warriors who sacrificed and gave of their time and placed themselves in social turmoil to help re-claim the destiny for all Indians of the Americas.
Film: “Alcatraz Is Not An Island” (starts at 7 pm!)
M.C.’s Jimbo Simmons (AIM), and Mary Jean Robertson (S.F. KPOO radio personality)
And with Special Guest Speakers, with music by Goodshield, Drummers and Singers welcome, and Traditional Dancers!
Cover Charge $ 8.00 slide-scale, no one turned away. A food can drive is also requested for Oakland Inter-Tribal Friendship House. A raffle prize, and a blanket donation is requested.
On this occasion of the 40th Anniversary of the Occupation of Alcatraz Island, a special benefit by American Indian Movement-WEST (AIM-WEST) invites you to join us and acknowledge all those heroic warriors representing “Indians of All Tribes” who sought to liberate The Rock, (first landing Nov. 14th) that began November 20, 1969 until being led off the island June 11, 1971. Their mission and purpose; to enlighten the American people of the injustice done to the American Indian by stealing their land by phony treaties.
During the 19 months of the occupation 20,000 people visited Alcatraz Island, meanwhile a medical clinic was set up, the structure of day-to-day life needed formulation, children needed schooling, a leadership structure needed to be created to tend the affairs of Alcatraz community; the Black Panthers offered help; Credence Clearwater Revival donated $15,000; a child was born (July 20, 1970), the 12 year-old daughter of Richard Oakes, the foremost leader of the Alcatraz occupation, fell over a railing and died on January 8, 1970; and the light house and several buildings burned to the ground.
Against this backdrop the leadership at Alcatraz began negotiations with government officials setting the stage for confrontations with dishonest politicians, onerous developers and bureaucrats. Come and share your experiences, thoughts and vision of what this occasion has meant to you, the youth, and community.
Free Leonard Peltier! Freedom for All Political Prisoners! Protect Sacred Sites! Honor the Treaties! Acknowledge and review the 18 Unratified Treaties made with the California’s American Indians! And demand the US government sign the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples! (only three countries have not signed: USA, Canada, and New Zealand!)
*Mark your calendars now for the AIM West Coast Third Annual Gathering November 23-27, 2009. *M.C. Mr. Bill Means, National AIM Grand Council, and Board Member of International Indian Treaty Council, a United Nations NGO in consultative status.

From "Indian Country Today" 10/16/09
White House officials chose Columbus Day to announce a first-of-its-kind conference to be held with leaders from all federally recognized tribes. President Barack Obama will host a White House Tribal Nations Conference November 5 from 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Leaders of all 564 federally recognized tribes will be invited, an announcement said, adding that they will be given the opportunity to interact directly with the president and other top administration officials. Each federally recognized tribe can send one representative.
Invitations to tribal leaders were sent via e-mail and fax from the Domestic Policy Council and the Office of Public Engagement starting Oct. 12, according to Shin Inouye, a White House spokesman.
“I look forward to hearing directly from the leaders in Indian country about what my administration can do to not only meet their needs, but help improve their lives and the lives of their peoples,” Obama said. ...Obama had promised during his campaign that he would hold yearly tribal conferences.
The invitations note that the historic meeting will not be held in the White House, but at the nearby Sidney R. Yates Auditorium of the Department of the Interior.
In an effort to allow more tribal leaders and members to view the historic event, the Department of Interior is working with MyTribeTV, an Indian-owned business in Seattle, Washington, to provide online coverage of the conference. ...all or part of the event will be streamed at tribalsummit.mytribetv.com.

So last time we worked at the sweat lodge, we put a pretty big dent in everything that needed to get done, but its not oveeer. Thusly, SUNDAY at 2:30, meet at Muwek if you want to help with the cleanup and rebuilding, or just visit the sweat lodge and chill with your fellow natives sort of off-campus. And those that wanted to, but couldn't make it last time, now is your chance!

Award Winning Documentary Film
Directed by Travis Rummel and Ben Knight

"This documentary makes clear what people who have never been to Alaska may not understand: the world still works here, fertile and abundant as it once was everywhere. The idea that we'd risk that health for some more dead gold is a sad irony, and well worth the great fight that locals are putting up to keep the moneychangers out of this particular temple."

REDGOLD
Award Winning Documentary Film
Directed by Travis Rummel and Ben Knight
Associate Producer Lauren Oakes
ABOUT THE FILM
At the headwaters of the Kvichak and Nushagak Rivers in Bristol Bay, Alaska -- the two largest remaining sockeye salmon runs on the planet -- mining companies Northern Dynasty and Anglo American have proposed to extract what may prove to be the richest deposit of gold and copper in the world.
Produced by Felt Soul Media and Trout Unlimited Alaska, RED GOLD is a one-hour documentary film on the proposed Pebble Mine told through the unique and disparate voices of commercial, subsistence and sport fishermen of Bristol Bay, Alaska. ("Subsistence fisherman" is code for "Native.") This exquisite film goes beyond the conflict, offering a portrait of a unique way of life that wouldn't exist if the salmon don't return with Bristol Bay's tide.
Winner -- Audience Choice and Director's Award, Mountainfilm, 2008; Best Environmental Film, Vancouver International Film Festival, 2008; Big Sky Award, Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, 2009.

Coit Tower will be turned into a huge outdoor movie screen to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the American Indian Movement's
Occupation of Alcatraz Island.
Projectors will be used to cast digital images on the 210-foot concrete tower that sits atop Telegraph Hill. At least five films will be shown, one after another, on the evenings of November 25 and 26. The two-night event is titled "Indigenous Renewal:
Alcatraz Occupation Remembrance + Ohlone Presence Celebrated."
KPOO radio station, 89.5 FM, will run a live program accompanying the show, which also can be accessed online at www.coitlive.com
<http://www.coitlive.com> . The viewings, scheduled to run from about 6:00-11:00 p.m. Nov. 25 and starting again at dusk on Thanksgiving Day
through 7 a.m. Friday, will be postponed in the event of rain or heavy fog, said David Mark, an organizer.
This is the fourth time that the Art Deco landmark has been used as a projection screen. The filmmakers also had showings in 2004 and 2008
that focused on American Indians. In 2006, the topic was the Great Earthquake and Fire that occurred 100 years before.
"The unique thing about Coit Tower is that it's visible to hundreds of thousands of people," Marks said. Among the best viewing spots, organizers say, will be Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 31, the Coit Tower
parking lot and Washington Square.

Hey Natives,
We hope all of you had a wonderful weekend, and best of luck to your second week of classes!! Do you want to start your week off right?
Then come to AISES's first meeting of the year. Come enjoy lunch (on us!) at the center at 12PM on Monday while learning what AISES (American Indian Science & Engineering Society) is all about.
You do not have to be an Engineer to come to our meetings, and you do not have to be Native. So don't be afraid to bring some of your friends on over.
If you want to have fun, meet awesome people, enjoy free food, and meet people who can land you an outstanding internship with companies like Google, JPL, and NASA then AISES is right for you.
We hope to see you there,
Wyatt and Laci
