The history of Fordlandia is also a cautionary tale chronicling Western civilization's long-held belief that supplanting another culture's way of life is our right and obligation; it's the white man's duty, as British imperialists smugly put it. Within a few years, the economic threat [Henry Ford] feared had diminished; however, [Greg Grandin] writes, Ford's obsession with his own very particular Midwestern, small-town American values and the modern industrial ethos became the driving force behind establishing a virtual American city deep in the Amazonian rainforest. On July 26, 1928, the Ford ship Lake Ormoc set off for the huge land concession Henry Ford's men had acquired from the Brazilian government.

When logging destroys peoples' culture, peoples' spirituality, and peoples' ability to sustain themselves because of a short-term focus on profit, we're opposed to that," said David Sone of the Rainforest Action Network.

My words seek to unite the global community through a message from our sacred ceremonies to unite spiritually, each in our own ways of beliefs in the Creator. We have been warned from ancient prophecies of these times we live in today, but have also been given a very important message about a solution to turn these terrible times around. To understand the depth of this message you must recognize the importance of sacred sites and realize the interconnectedness of what is happening today, in reflection of the continued massacres that are occurring on other lands and our own Americas. I have been learning about these important issues since the age of 12, upon receiving the sacred white buffalo calf pipe bundle and its teachings. Our people have striven to protect sacred sites from the beg...

Slipping the car into reverse and -- quietly, electrically -- backing out, Sebastian is reminded by the fuel gauge it's time to fill up. "It's easy to forget," he thinks, largely because it's been three months since he's been at the gas station. The first month was the worst, what with his kids' hockey playoffs all over the city. He wasn't able to get all his driving done during his 70-kilometre electric-only limit. Since then, the diesel generator, which provides added electricity when the battery dies down, just hasn't cut in.
