Love is in the air
I witnessed all kinds of eagle courtship behavior today--couples spiraling through the air together. It was lovely to watch, but hard to get pictures of; they get really high. I was lucky to see this one flying over a field near the path I was on. Click on picture to enlarge.

Native Americans and Vegetarianism
History of Vegetarianism
Native Americans and Vegetarianism
This article first appeared in the Vegetarian Journal, September 1994, published by The Vegetarian Resource Group
By Rita Laws, Ph.D.
How well we know the stereotype of the rugged Plains Indian: killer of buffalo, dressed in quill-decorated buckskin, elaborately feathered eaddress, and leather moccasins, living in an animal skin teepee, master of the dog and horse, and stranger to vegetables. But this lifestyle, once limited almost exclusively to the Apaches, flourished no more than a couple hundred years. It is not representative of most Native Americans of today or yesterday. Indeed, the "buffalo-as-lifestyle" phenomenon is a direct result of European influence, as we shall see.
