				 HOGAN HEROES
		      -------------------------------------

	  During World War II, America's cultural diversity
	  helped insure its continued existence.

	  For example, the NAVAJO INDIANS worked in very
	  secret & sensitive areas of High Level communications.
	  It was the very fact that only a few people on the
	  planet speak NAVAJO that made them so invaluable
	  in handling communications.

	  The NAVAJO are the LARGEST Native-American tribe
	  in the United States.

	  Hunting around for something connected
	  with the Navajos, I came across this.
	  On page 21 of the 1992 MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS
	  catalog is a gift wrap paper made of Navajo designs.

		      For a catalog write to:
		      MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BOSTON
		      Catalog Sales Department
		      P.O. Box 1044
		      Boston, MA 02120-0900
		      1-800-225-5592
		      They also have CORPORATE Gift Services.

       The PEABODY MUSEUM in Salem, MA also has Native American
       Indian artifacts.  This museum, in addition, has an extensive
       collection of art from the CHINA TRADE.  And don't
       be fooled by the size of the exterior of the museum
       building.  This place looks small but you can easily use
       up a day touring it.  This museum also has a good-size
       gift shop.  And SALEM, MA is a beautiful city.

       A HOGAN is an earth-covered Navajo Indian dwellling.

	Are you SCOUTING around for the biggest
	American Indian Museum in the country?

	I believe that one is located in Manhattan
	(New York City, New York) and it's way UPTOWN
	(Northern Manhattan).

	My FLASHMAPS INSTANT guide
	to New York City gives:
	American Indian (HEYE) Foundation
	Broadway & 155th street
	(212) 283-2420

	I checked out the tour guide my folks used
	for their honeymoon trip (the Niagara falls
	to Quebec City tour).  It dates from the early
	1950's and it says that there's a PERMANENT
	"Indian Village" exhibit of American Indian dwellings
	and Ceremonial Houses on a SIX-ACRE plot
	at the BRONX branch of the American Indian Museum!!
	I don't know if this is still true.  Early 1950's
	is almost HALF a century ago and New York sure has changed
	in that time.  Hopefully, New York will tell us.
	This tour guide also mentions that the main
	American Indian HEYE Foundation museum
	contains the LARGEST collection of
	INDIAN CULTURE in existence!
	It says that student exhibits and
	a library are in the BRONX branch.

	New York has American Indian ART in many different
	museums around town.  A New York city has
	a little of everything culturally speaking.
	New York even has a Holography museum!
	And there are Indian Art galleries in SOHO!!

	One of the BEST places to stay in New York,
	because of its central location on a scenic
	corner of Central Park, is the PLAZA HOTEL.
	NOTHING COMPARES TO IT.
	That's where Crocodile Dundee stayed in
	the movie of the same name.
	The OAK ROOM BAR there has smoked glass windows
	that add a French Impressionist's touch
	to its view onto Central Park and the Horse
	Drawn Carriages just outside.  One of the
	views of New York definitely NOT to be missed.
	It must also be the Romance Headquarters for New York
	as I attended a friend's Pre-Wedding Party
	there many Moons ago.  The PLAZA HOTEL is just
	a short taxi ride to Broadway Theaters
	and to Lincoln Center, too.

			       ROMANCING THE STONE
		      -------------------------------------

    Supposedly, in New England, Native American peoples
    would sometimes trek up into Maine to get Flint rock
    for making special tools.  I believe the CLIFF of Flint,
    that I read about, is near Moosehead Lake.
    I'm sure that one of the Chambers of Commerce
    up there can tell you.  They have a scenic boat cruise
    around that lake on an old-fashioned boat from
    which you can see the CLIFFs in the distance.

    One thing to keep in mind about Maine.  It's a BIG state.
    You can go through several weather patterns just driving
    up or down that state in a day.

    Here's an interesting book on flint tools:
    MAN THE TOOL-MAKER
    by Kenneth P. Oakley
    (University of Chicago Press; Chicago; 1964)

----------------------------------------------------------------
		      -------------------------------------
			    WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
		      -------------------------------------

	       If you're trying to learn how to live off
	       the land there are several ways to do it.

	       First would be to pick up any books
	       by Euell Gibbons.  Mr. Gibbons was really into
	       eating NATURAL foods.  (Funny thing about
	       this is that, you'll be happy to know,
	       Mr. GIBBONS died of NATURAL causes!).

	       I'm getting a NEW joke writer next week
	       so don't worry about me.

	       Another way to learn is to take classes at any
	       of the OUTWARD BOUND schools across the U.S.
	       You'll learn not only how to survive for 3 days
	       without food on an island in Maine but
	       also how to do Rappelling and many other
	       useful wilderness skills.
	       Some businesses even send their employees
	       to these schools to build team spirit
	       (esprit de corps).  I couldn't find any
	       information on Outward Bound Schools in
	       my meager database but I'm sure if you contact
	       any of the societies or stores below they
	       can direct you to places that are similar.

	       Places to contact for books and videos
	       and courses about how to survive in the
	       wilderness are:

		REI
		Recreational Equipment Inc
		P.O. Box 88125
		Seattle, WA  98138-2125
		They have stores across the U.S.
		as well as do Mail Order.
		1-800-426-4840
		will probably get you a FREE catalog

		Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS)
		1041 Commonwealth Ave
		Boston,  MA
		(617) 254-4250
		EMS also has a store
		in North Conway, New Hampshire.
		If you ever get to North Conway
		you'll find it has tremendous variety
		in just a small area.
		There's a fantastic Lobster restaurant
		up there, too.  I believe it's named
		the LOBSTER POT, but you better ask
		the locals up there (Chamber of Commerce)
		they'll know.

		AND the World Famous:

		L.L. Bean
		in Freeport, MAINE
		call 1-800-221-4221
		for a FREE catalog.

                There are also various and sundry
		different societies throughout the U.S.
		that know how to find nature's goodies.

		I know there is one called the Mushroom Society
		in Massachusetts that knows where the
		best Morels are.  But it is dangerous
		to eat the foods of the wild if you
		do not know ALL the hazards related to
		the plant you're seeking.

		If you're hunting BIRDs or if you're
		just interested in studying them or
		gathering their feathers, here's
		two useful books:

		BIRDS of NORTH AMERICA
		a guide to field identification
		(Golden Press; New York; 1966)

		AUDUBON SOCIETY
		FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS
		Eastern Region
		(Alfred A. Knopf; New York; 1977)

    A good general book is:

    FRONTIERS OF LIFE
    animals of MOUNTAINS & POLES
    with a forward by David Attenborough
    (Doubleday; Garden City; New York; 1977)

----------------------------------------------------------------
		      -------------------------------------
			      CHEYENNE SOCIAL CLUBS
		      -------------------------------------

		 Trail crews in different mountain regions
		 of the country know how to survive in the wild.
		 And they also perform many unsung useful
		 functions.  Like Trail Maintenance.
		 And rescuing lost or CONFUSED hikers.

		 My youngest brother was a member of the A.M.C.
		 (Appalachian Mountain Club [A.M.C.])
		 and they did alot of work outdoors.
		 They learned how to sleep in the mud, etc.
		 And they performed mountain rescues.
		 WILD BUNCH OF cRaZiEs.
		 You should see photos of those folks.
		 They look like LUMBERJACKs.
		 But they're OKAY!

		 Appalachian Mountain Club (A.M.C.)
                 5 Joy Street
		 Boston, MA 02108
		 (617) 523-0636
		 Where Recreation and Conservation meet...
		 THE BENEFITS LAST FOREVER.

		 Appalachian Mountain Club (A.M.C.) Office
		 North Conway, New Hampshire
		 (603) 466-2727

		 I believe EXPLORER SCOUTS also learn how
		 to survive in the wild.

				    "tree"

	    Looking in my kitchen for something made from
	    WILD foods I cam across:

	    HOT-SWEET MAPLE MUSTARD
	    I all I have to do is combine this with
	    vinegar and water and olive oil
	    (and maybe a little honey)
	    and I'd have an all natural mustard.
	    Lucky for you I hadn't already done this
	    or this wouldn't be here.

	    This mix is from:

	    RATHDOWNEY
	    Herbs & Herb Crafts
	    3 River Street
	    Bethel, Vermont 05032
	    (802) 234-9928

	    And here's something that is almost EMPTY.
	    A container of Maple Syrup from:

	    McLURE'S MAPLE SYRUP
	    Littleton, New Hampshire  03561
	    (603) 444-6246
	    For FREE maple recipes.

	    I've heard that Indian Pin“n nuts are
	    good, too, but we rarely see them
	    in these yar' parts.
	    BREAD & CIRCUS natural food stores
	    probably have them but there isn't one
	    close to me.

	    Another natural food that Indians may have eaten,
	    and that people shy away from up here, is the
	    PLANTAIN.  It looks like a banana BUT you have to
	    cook it BEFORE you eat it.
	    Here's a cookbook that talks about it:

	    JANE BRODY'S GOOD FOOD BOOK
	    living the High-Carbohydrate Way
	    forward by PIERRE FRANEY
	    (W W Norton; New York; 1985)

	    On page 152 & 153 it mentions that in the
	    West Indies they cook it by slicing the
	    meat of the plantain up, dipping it in FLOUR,
	    and then frying it in a little oil or butter.
	    I'm sure that, since it's related to the
	    banana, you have to let it RIPEN first, too!!
	    (That means let it TURN yellow).
	    There are alot of assumptions in COOKING that aren't,
	    unfortunately, written down with each recipe.
	    [HELLO HYPERTEXT! CAN YOU READ ME?]

	    In NEW ENGLAND, the food I always connected
	    with the Indians was (what else) INDIAN PUDDING.
	    Here's a recipe:

	    INDIAN PUDDING
            --------------
	    3 tbsps Quaker yellow corn meal        1 tbsp butter
	  1/3 cup Crosby's Barbados molasses     1/4 tsp salt
	    3 cups milk, scalded                 1/2 tsp ginger
	  1/2 cup sugar                          1/2 tsp cinnamon
	    1 egg, beaten                          1 cup cold milk


	    1.  STIR corn meal & molasses into scalded milk and
	        cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring
	        constantly.

	    2.  REMOVE from heat and ADD sugar, egg, butter, salt,
	        and spices.

	    3.  POUR into a buttered baking dish
		and BAKE in 300 degree F oven for 30 minutes.

	    4.  ADD cold milk. Do NOT stir.
                Continue baking at 300 degrees F for TWO HOURS!!

	    5.  LADLE into dessert dishes.
		TOP with plain, old-fashioned vanilla
	        ice cream from Brigham's or whatever
	        your local favorite ice cream is.
		STUPENDOUS in the fall.

				TAKING A POWDER
		      -------------------------------------

     Chocolate was discovered by the Indians of South America.

     Here are three products that use it:

	     Get recipes from:
	     HERSHEY CHOCOLATE COMPANY

----------------------------------------------------------------
		      -------------------------------------
			       THAT'S NATURE'S WAY
		      -------------------------------------

	  And here's two items that originated from nature:

	     1.   20 Mule-Team BORAX
		  a natural crystal that dates back in
		  history 4,000 years.
		  It doesn't say it on the Box but if
		  I'm not mistaken this stuff can be used
		  to wipe out Cockroaches (La Cucarache?).
		  If this is the same stuff (I'm not sure it is)
		  but you put it down along your walls and leave it
		  there for a month.  Clean it up at the
		  end of the month and you'll never see another
		  cockroach.  This stuff acts like a neutron bomb
		  on them.  You just have to keep your kids
		  and pets out of it but that's not that hard
		  if you place this stuff only in sheltered
		  areas (which is where those buggers live anyway).

	    2.   Glade's POTPOURRI SPRAY
		 The folks near me either DIED or they have PETS
		 or both.  This stuff covers their aromas up.
		 Sometimes you'll notice this fancy POTPOURRI
		 fragrance as you enter the clothing departments
		 of any stylish store, such as:
		 FILENE's or JORDAN's or BLOOMINGDALE's.

	    3.  A good book on Houseplants:

                Ortho's complete guide to
		SUCCESSFUL HOUSEPLANTS
		interior design * encyclopedia * problem solver
		(CHEVRON Chemical Company; San Francisco; 1984)
		Sometimes you get African Violets for FREE
		when you buy Perfume at Bloomingdale's.

----------------------------------------------------------------

                                   ANASAZI

				"ancient ones"

	       PLYMOUTH Massachusetts has a Giant
	       carved Indian Totem Pole
	       (you can see it from Route 3).
	       And they also demo Indian skills
	       at Plymouth Plantation.

	       And in western Massachusetts there
	       is a big POW-WOW of New England
	       Indian groups that POPS up in the
	       FALL (i think).  There's also
	       the MOHAWK TRAIL that winds
	       into New York State out there.

	       The ABSOLUTEly best archaeological display of
	       Indian Artifacts that I've seen
	       is near MACON, GEORGIA.

	       It's the OCMULGEE INDIAN MOUNDS.
	       This whole museum, I believe,
	       was built during the 1930's as one
	       of the W.P.A. projects.
	       I've heard some people say that
	       they never saw anything impressive
	       from the W.P.A. projects but I
	       don't think they looked very hard.
	       If you just see what was reconstructed
	       from the Indian digs in Georgia
	       you'll be amazed!

	       And there's Indian ART for sale if
	       you go to Quebec City in Quebec, Canada.
	       A beautiful and quaint city.  There's
	       ESKIMO ART & Sculpture & Wood carvings
	       for sale there.  And nearby is the scenic
	       Montmorency Waterfalls.

	       And in Massachusetts, I believe,
	       on Nantucket Island, artists make
	       realistic looking BEAR hand puppets.
	       I don't remember who exactly makes these
	       but I think their business name was FOLKWAYs
	       or FOLKARTs.  You occasionally see them
	       in tourist gift shops.  The
	       CAPE COD Chamber of Commerce may be able
	       to tell you.
	       Call (508) 362-3225.
	       It's in Hyannis.
	       Hyannis has STARBUCKs restaurant
	       and rumor has it that Hollywood Stars
	       are seen there occasionally.  One rumored
	       to have been seen there was BRUCE WILLIS.
	       Hyannis is a short drive from FALMOUTH
	       where there are several beautiful beaches,
	       and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Labs.
	       Boats leave FALMOUTH for Nantucket &
	       Martha's Vineyard (they also depart Hyannis).
	       Hyannis has outlet stores such as DANSK.

				 SAND PAINTINGS
		      -------------------------------------

	     I wouldn't be surprised if there are some
	     anthropologists who can READ the wall paintings
	     out in CANYON DE CHELLY inside MUMMY'S CAVE.

	     The NAVAJO Indian Reservation is located near
	     Flagstaff, Arizona.  Scenic Monument Valley is part of
	     their reservation.  And remember RAINBOW BRIDGE?
             It is inside Monument Valley.

             Here's another interesting item.
	     I know that JAPANESE & CHINESE are pictographic
	     languages, too.

	     Two books on learning to read the pictorial
	     language called Japanese:

	       1.  READ JAPANESE TODAY
		   by Len Walsh
		   (Charles Tuttle; Rutland, Vermont; 1987)

	       2.  ESSENTIAL JAPANESE GRAMMAR
		   by Everett F. Bleiler
		   (Dover pubs; New York; 1963)

	     I've never seen any books on American Indian Philosophy
	     but here's one on Chinese Philosopy:
	     CHINESE THOUGHT
	     by Professor H.G. Creel
	     Traces Chinese philosophy from Confucius
	     to Mao Tse-Tung and covers how
	     traditional values shaped modern China.

	     Pictures (without words) can also be used
	     to cross language barriers
	     IF the viewer understands what
	     the pictures mean.

	     A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS...
	     ONLY IF YOU SPEAK THE PICTURE'S LANGUAGE.

     NAVAJO geometric designs & colors on them.

     Up in these parts designs like that seem (to me anyway)
     to disappear.

     I know GE makes Numerically Controlled Machines.
     I don't know if they can be used to weave fabrics.

	MOVIES are also a good way to teach.
	Two videos on how computers are being used
	in movie production:

	1.  STATE-OF-THE-ART of Computer Animation
	    (has the incredible Hawaiian Punch ad
	     as well as the infamous DIRE STRAIT's
             "Money Fer Nothin'"  MTV music video).

	2.  COMPUTER VISIONS
	    a ride on the New Wave in Computer Animation
	    (NOT as good as NUMBER #1 -> trust me).

                              CAN YOU PICTURE IT
		      -------------------------------------

	   Pictures can teach MATH.

	   Often people have difficulty understanding
	   equations because they can't see
	   an application for it or visualize
	   what the equation represents or means.

	   There is software out that enables users
	   to easily see math equations because the
	   software creates graphical pictures
	   of the equation for you.

	   The only problem with the packages below
	   is that they don't have small packages
	   for beginner's (junior high schools)
	   to use.  I may have seen only the
	   literature on their high end stuff
	   and they may actually have programs
	   scaled to those types of users.
	   But I really don't know.

	   This group may be able to point you
	   to a place that has MATH programs:

	   THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCITY
	   Educational Services
	   Dept 5413
	   Washington, DC 20036

	   Here's just a few math packages:
	   [NOTE  These are COLLEGE LEVEL]

      1.   MATHCAD
	   MathSoft, Inc
	   201 Broadway
	   Cambridge, MA 02139-9873

      2.   MATHEMATICA can even generate SOUNDS from
	   your equations that can be played back
	   on your computer.

	   I don't have any literature handy on
	   MATHEMATICA but if you look at any personal
	   computer magazine you'll be able to find an ad
	   for it.

      3.  IMSL/IDL mathematics you can see.
	  Useful for scientific visualization & more.
	  IMSL Inc
	  14141 Southwest FWY Suite 3000
	  Sugar Land, TX 77478-9923

      4.  MATHTYPE from Design Science.
	  To enter math formulas into wordprocessor documents.

	  4028 Broadway
	  Long Beach, CA  90803-9822

      A good book for junior high school general math outside reading
      (this author has written several, easy to understand
       books on math):
       MATHEMATICS FOR THE MILLIONS
       by Lancelot Hogben
       ( W W Norton; London; 1967)

----------------------------------------------------------------
		      -------------------------------------
			       LET'S GET PHYSICAL
		      -------------------------------------

    Sometimes PHYSICS can help you visualize and
    understand MATH better.

    The best book I've seen for beginner's is:

    THE FLYING CIRCUS OF PHYSICS - WITH ANSWERS!!!!!!
    by Jearl Walker
    (John Wiley & Sons; New York; 1977)
    NOTE:  Do NOT get the book without answers.  It's useless.

    There was an interesting article on this
    teacher/author in:
    THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
    page 29
    November 17, 1986 (MONDAY)
    article entitled:
    "THE PERFORMING PROFESSOR, physics students pay attention
     when he walks over hot coals!"

     The BEST Physics Professor I ever had was
     PROFESSOR WALLACE (now retired).  He was at:

     NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY
     360 Huntington Avenue
     Boston, MA 02115

    If you'd like AERIAL PHOTOS of the Indian land
    that you're living on contact:

    MAP INFORMATION OFFICE
    U.S. Geological Survey
    Washington, DC 20242

    Sometimes (you won't believe this) the U.S. government
    won't send you an aerial photo of your area.
    I can only guess as to why.

    The way around this is to contact your local
    RUSSIAN consulate!!
    I read that someone did this once and it WORKED!!
    The RUSSIANs were happy to send you an AERIAL photo
    of where you live (for the right price).

    TOO BAD the Russians don't sell models of their
    SPUTNIK satellite (or photos of same).
    It would be cool to have a model of MAN's first vehicle in space!

				 "the people"

	  It amazes me that American Indians and other
	  native peoples in other parts of the world
	  do not have any representatives at the U.N.
	  It's also surprising that native peoples haven't
	  banded together to ensure the continuation of
	  their different cultures, especially since
	  I continually see in the media how the native
	  elders are concerned about their cultures fading away.
	  Maybe the diversity of Native peoples prevents
	  them from organizing.  I would imagine that
	  U.N. related anthropologists might know how to connect up
	  native nations/tribes that are interested in
	  pooling resources to aid each other in common
	  interests.

	  For a discussion of American Indians
	  see page 92 of the book:

	  THE UNITED NATIONS
	  and how it works
	  by David Cushman Coyle
	  with an introduction by HERNANE TAVARES DE S
	  (Mentor Books; New York; 1960)

		      -------------------------------------
			       NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
		      -------------------------------------

   Here's just a few of the innumerable articles
   that can be found on Native Indians
   in National Geographic magazines:

   WHAT FUTURE FOR THE WAYANA INDIANS? - page 66  January   1983
   AMERICA'S FOLK ART MASTERS          - page 74  January   1991
   MAYAN ARTISTRY UNEARTHED            - page 94  September 1991
   1491 AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS        - most of  October   1991

   This last issue (OCTOBER 1991)  is the best BECAUSE
   it includes a MAP of all the places of Native American Indian
   culture that you can visit throughout the U.S.
