The founder and leader of the largest hippie community in the world [Stephen Gaskin] is an internationally renowned leader of the countercultural revolution. Gaskin once wrote: "The word wakan has a strong and universal concept and people around the world know something about it." The purpose of Gaskin’s hippy community is to be wakan (holy) and influence the whole world to become wakan. This hippie community once had 1500 members, and according to Stephen Gaskin, it is a demonstration project for a sustainable future, a nonviolent eco-friendly cooperative community of pioneers ushering in a new age.

Gaskin's internationally renowned ecovillage is called The Farm. It is located in Tennessee. It was established in the late 1960s. Steven Gaskin and 200 of his hippie followers formed into a commune and moved from the San Francisco Bay area to the small town of Summertown Tennessee. And near this town they set up their communal village. Today it’s the largest hippie commune in the world. It has 250 members and it is very successful. A letter of mine was published in the Farm’s FREE PRESS newsletter. And on The Farm’s website there is a link to the Hippie Museum wherein there is an introduction to an article of mine about my hippie visionary mission. A link to this article is also displayed on Hippyland, the world's largest hippie website.

Hippyland (or Hippy.com) is a website with 26,000 registered members. An article of mine [A 1960s Hippie Activist] was recently posted on this site’s [ACTIVIST SPOTLIGHT] display.

Skip Stone is the creator and webmaster of Hippyland. He has a special place on his Hippyland site where he posts hippie articles about religion. It is named Coolove. He recently posted an article of mine on Coolove. This article is Hippyland’s [MOST READ ARTICLE ABOUT RELIGION]. Click Coolove to view and read this article. Albert Bates is an internationally renowned hippie counter-cultural activist and a very prominent member of The Farm. He is the author of several books. One of his books Climate in Crisis is introduced by Al Gore. In respect to my Coolove article he wrote, while corresponding with me, "good article".

 After I sent the Pontifical Council For Justice And Peace (1.) a letter that I received from Archbishop Harry Flynn, (2.) a letter from the Board of Directors of theTekawitha Conference - a Roman Catholic North American indigenous peoples conference representing over 100 tribes - and (3.) an article about my Rum River name-change movement and associated Catholic visionary movement, I received a letter from the Pontifical Council For Justice And Peace.

Archbishop Harry Flynn has sent me letters of support for some of his activist initiatives. To view and read the archbishop's letters of support click letters .

National Multicultural Institute's October 2008 newsletter [SPOTLITE] posting of an article of mine can be viewed and read by clicking Independent Indigenous Sovereign Nations . An excerpt from this article reads:

..."However, the indigenous peoples living in this land our still being denied three of their--endowed by the Creator--unalienable equality rights, or fundamental human rights. The right to absolute root ownership of their traditional/ancestral homelands, the right to be recognized and treated as full independent sovereign nations and the--freedom of religion--right to fully re-establish their traditional religions within their sacred ancestral homelands"..

An article of mine about this topic is displayed on the Mendota Mdewakanton Dakota Community's website. To view and read this article click Regaining the
Mdewakanton Mille Lacs ancestral homeland. An excerpt from this article reads:

"The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe oral tradition tells that, by the end of the 1760s Kathio battle, their ancestors had violently forced the Dakota from their Mille Lacs area homeland; and that that is how they took possession of the Mille Lacs area land that they now live on. However, because they were indigenous red pagans they didn’t own the land that they, with the help of the Europeans, took from the Dakota people. And these indigenous red Ojibwe pagans, to this present-day, do not own the land that they are now living on, its U.S.A federal land. The indigenous people of the Americas, still, do not have a papal granted moral right to own land. The papal bull Inter Caetera has not yet been revoked. I am working to rectify this injustice. At least a part of the Dakota people’s original Mille Lacs area homeland should be give back to them."

Indian County Today, the world’s leading American Indian news source, published my letter to the editor Supports restitution . This letter was also published in the Saint Cloud Visitor, a Roman Catholic diocesan newspaper.

An excerpt from the letter reads - "Our bishops are finally starting to understand that 500-plus years ago our church instigated an injustice against the indigenous peoples of the Western hemisphere. They need to apologize for what happened, work toward stopping the ongoing injustice, and offer restitution to the indigenous peoples of the Americas, which includes protesting against the current proposed legislation to make "illegal" immigrants felons. It's time to give the indigenous peoples' homelands back to them and quit imposing our culture on them."

The Winona Daily News published a letter of mine, titled, State looks to settle up with the past. Excerpts from this letter read:

"Leonard Wabasha, a hereditary chief of the Dakota and director of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux (Dakota) Community Cultural Resource Department, invited me to address the Dakota tribal leaders and government officials during the May 16 reconciliatory ceremony in Winona.

"When Minnesotans become aware of or able to look at their own history and acknowledge the painful wounds of ethnocide and genocide right in their own state, they will be inspired to go through a radical social, political and religious transformation. A peaceful cultural revolution will occur, and Minnesotans will be changed for the better. And this will help to heal the Dakota Oyate’s painful wounds caused by ethnocide and genocide.”

The Minnesota Indian Affairs Council (MIAC) asked me to write and send Anna Marie Hill, the council's Executive Director, a MIAC Draft Resolution endorsing the bill to replace Minnesota’s derogatory geographic site names that are offensive to American Indians. Alfred Bone Shirt (Sigangu), a nationally renowned American Indian activist who is the contact person for the Dakota-Lakota-Nakota Human Rights Advocacy Coalition, published my Minnesota Indian Affairs Council Draft Resolution. My- Minnesota Apology Resolution is similar to and associated with his MIAC Draft Resolution. Two excerpts from Minnesota Apology Resolution read:

(4.) acknowledge the root cause of the subjugation and exploitation of Minnesota Indian tribes, as being the papal bull of 1493 (Inter Caetera); wherein, Pope Alexander IV directed colonial European nations to go to the Americas and "subjugate the barbaric people and their lands, and bring them to the faith".

(5.) acknowledge that this papal bull (Inter Caetera) was used to formulate colonial European international law, a law that was later, both, incorporated into United States law as well as used to influence American citizens, including Minnesota citizens, to conform to a unified white racist or white supremacist and religious sectarian proselytizing mindset that was, and still is, the root cause of the subjugation and exploitation of Minnesota Indian tribes as well as all other U.S. Indian tribes.

Indigenous Peoples Literature posted an article of mine titled: Popes Remarks Whitewashed The Genocide Of Indigenous Peoples. An excerpt from this article reads:

"Hopefully, Pope Benedict XVI will soon formally revoke the 15th century papal bulls which were primarily responsible for the horrible atrocities committed against Indigenous Peoples and then lead the Catholic Church and Western "Civilization" through a process of radical transformation, and by doing so, lead humanity into a new age, wherein Indigenous Peoples will be given their due respect."

In respect to this coming new age, there is an article of mine wherein I presented the following statement.

 In the Lord's Prayer Jesus said: "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". In reference to these words, the Catechism Of The Catholic Church says, in 2825 that: "For he did not say, thy will be done in me or in us, but on earth, the whole earth, so that error may be banished from it, truth take root in it, all vice be destroyed on it, virtue flourish on it, and the earth no longer differ from heaven."
