Native American Day: Education About Preservation of Sites and Culture
Feb 8, 2010
Focus: Indigenous Rights
Action Request: Meeting
Location: Alabama, United States

Host: Movement to Preserve Native american Sacred Sites & Culture in Alabama

Date: Saturday, 13 March, 2010

Time: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Location: Jacksonville, Alabama on the Public Square

We are holding our first event for this group on March 13th to educate the public on preservation and the importance of Native American prehistoric culture in Alabama. The city of Jacksonville is excited that we are having this event on the square, and the event is going to be fun for families and children.

We want to embrace the public to make them understand the reasons we need to stop the destruction that we see today, and education is just the key to end that destruction in the future. We need volunteers to make the event a success. We will need drumming, story telling, dancing, muscians, or any talent that you can bring and share. Native American vendors are welcome.

At this point, any and all suggestions are welcome. We are setting a goal of February 28th as the date that we have people together so that we have a few weeks to get the schedule together. All interested parties may send an e-mail to Rob & Cora Dunaway at cbell420@yahoo.com

We are really excited about this great opportunity, and we know that we can all make a difference for the future.

We will be discussing and teaching about the Sacred Site in Oxford, Alabama that is being destroyed. It is believed to be a part of the Chiefdom of Ulibahali, possibly the Ceremonial Center for this Chiefdom. It dates back to the Ice Age and was visited by de Soto & de Luna on seperate expiditions.

The Ceremonial Mound and two Burial Mounds have been bull dozed already and at least one complete skeleton was discovered and removed.

Brother Goes Home After Hip Replacement
Oct 18, 2009

Don had his surgery last Monday, 12 October, 2009. The doctors got him opened up and they had to remove a lot of hardware that was put in place earlier-screws, plates, a rod, etc. Then completely replace the left hip. The bone had grew back after the accident, curling at the ends where the new growth was. This had to be trimmed. Extension plates had to be put in.

On Tuesday he was up walking some in the morning and he walked " a lot" Tuesday afternoon.

On Wednesday he was in extreme pain. He could not do any physical therapy. Of course the hospital staff just thought that maybe he was not wanting to do the therapy and took him down anyway. Once the tears started, they took him back to his room, but the nurses just treated him as though he was not really in that much pain. The pain was coming from his back in the area of his kidneys.

Eventually one of his home health physical therapists came by to see him and saw the pain and went and talked to someone. His pain medications were adjusted and his doctor called.

The doctor called in a Urologist and many blood tests were run. His creatinine levels were elevated. Don was told to make sure the test results were given to his primary care physicianand urologist.

The Orthopedist asked for Don to be transferred to a Rehabilitation Hospital/Physical Rehab Centerbut the one in Greenwood, SC does not have a standing contract to accept Medicaid(Don is receiving SSI) and Medicare denied to pay for it.

He will however, continue to receive Home Health Services. They are even coming out today, Sunday, to check on him and get him set-up.

He can put as much weight on his leg as he can stand, he can walk with the aid of a walker.

This hospital stay has lead Don and the medical staff to realize he is allergic to regular tape and must use paper tape.

I could hear the pain in his voice over the phone yesterday. He told me his goal is to do everything the therapists tell him do and a little bit more.

The Pastor at our church (Hodges Church of God will always be my home church no matter where I am at) is stepping down after many, many years of Pastoring. His last Sunday is the 25th of October 2009--Don wants to be there for that.

He has set himself a lofty goal all things considered.

With many prayers and a lot of dedication and determination he will make it.

Again, many thanks to all my loyal readers for their thoughts and prayers.
