To one of our

Black Bear Clan sites

I believe that just about, if not every tribe through-out Indian Country has a

"Bear Clan?"

Our village (tribe) changed the Bear Clan somewhat in the early 1940's thanks in part to a youngster being a youngster.

The land that our Mohiigan's call home has many Black bears also living in and around the land.

We call them our neighbors and they look it is as their land also.

When our ancestors arriver there were many more animals, bears included.

However, since first contact their as with our families have been to a point or almost extinct!

Un-like the Black Bear, we are being called 'extinct' by this government and most Reservation Indians because thousands of our elders/ancestors were declared extinct by either "Rape" or "Marriage and no longer being called "Mohiigan or any other tribe for that matter?"

The Black Bear is systematically becoming extinct because they are in the way!

Come to think about it, so are we?

Do not mistake adaptation and survival with "going extinct".

We are simply learning to beat you at your own game.

The bear family is being extinct because of being killed!

BLACK BEAR HUNTING

BLACK BEAR HUNTING

The state of Florida still has no idea of how many Black Bears are in Florida?

No limit on how many hunting permits are to be sold by the state of Florida starting on August 3rd for a October hunt?

http://www.mysuncoast.com/news/permits-for-florida-black-bear-hunting-season-will-be-available/article_e28bf076-2550-11e5-badb-cff2841442ca.html

No restrictions of where a hunter is coming from?

No bear hunting in the area where humans refuse to control their trash, stop leaving their pet food out all day and night and/or stop feeding the bears?

The hunters can come to our neighborhood to shoot our bears with a high powered weapon with a silencer.

Do you know how far a bullet can travel fired from someplace around our home/your?

Depending who you ask, between 1 and 15 miles.

Our town is 3.4 square miles and people have been hunting inside of this for years! :-(

What this means to my family and any family in a small town anywhere around this

"Bear Slaughtering Grounds!"

"When anyone gets a gun buys a permit and shoots?"

"We are all in the line of fire from their bullets!"

Guess this does not matter as long as our politicians get their kick-backs?

P.S.

Our town is a minimum, 45 miles from the towns with a bear problem?

Can your pet do this?

A true "Believe it or not."

This morning at play Breanna's mom found an unused string tie pouch and gave it to Breanna for play after tying four knots and pulling them tight.









 within minutes she, Breanna, had untied the knots.

Mom did this a few more times and each time Breanna untied the knots.

So Dad, the old navy salt, tied the knots with four square knots, same deal. so I tried it with one square, one granny, one square, and one granny knots,



 same thing Breanna holds the pouch with the two front paws and untied the knots with her teeth!

She has been doing this to by native bandanna's for years.

Give it a try, I dare you?

Nick Wiley, "Speak with Forked Tongue!"

 

Wildlife officials approve weeklong bear hunt in Florida

By now most of you already know what animal lovers in Florida knew for about two years.

Surprise, surprise, Surprise!

"Money talks and the public's voice gets stomped under by the payoff!"

Nick Wiley, the head of Fish and Wildlife Commission,

 "Speak with Forked Tongue!"

is a

"Big Fat Boldface Liar!"

Because he promised, Absolutely

"NO BEAR KILLING IN FLORIDA!"

Not more they one year ago, of course this was before money started floating around all over South Florida.

P.S.

No hunting will be in or around this wealthy gated community that keeps feeding bears and leaving trash and dog food out at night!

The hunting will be in woods of the "Innocent Black Bears!"

They arrived at the Sarasota Hyatt Regency in dress clothes, camouflage ball caps and weatherproof fishing shirts. One wore a fuzzy bear costume. Sometimes they were civil, ticking off statistics as to why hunting black bears is a good or bad policy. At other points they were biting, heckling a 15-year-old girl and tossing around words like blood, carnage and corruption.

"Some good ol' boys already had their minds made up," said Avery Cobbs, 48, of Orlando, who wore the bear suit. "Unfortunately it didn't matter, and it's a huge loss."

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission executive director Nick Wiley said after the 5-1 vote that he thought the commission did the right thing. The approval means Florida is set to have a one-week, daytime bear-hunting season in four regions in October for the first time since 1994.

"It was a really tough decision for the commissioners," Wiley said. "I believe they listened to a lot of passionate input."

About 80 people spoke at the meeting during a comment period that stretched over six hours. One woman said she wore red to symbolize the blood of bears, another taped a sheet of paper to her chest with only two words: "Dead Bear."

"This public wants you to keep your grubby mitts and guns off of black bears," said Carol Abarbanell, 68, of Englewood.

SAVING THE GREEN SWAMP AND OUR WETLANDS

SAVING THE GREEN SWAMP AND OUR WETLANDS

"Global warming and polution are the direct results of 200 years of destroying the natural landscape and industrial wastes. We will not feel the impact of todays continued destruction for another 50 to 100 years. Can our children live with the results of our bad choices? Yes; it's that serious!"

Statement of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1975

A handfull of men at thier most assinine, know of a problem, ignore it. They will doom us all...

W. Churchill

The Green Swamp is recognized by the State of Florida for it's ecological and hydrological importance. Why do our county commisioners disregard our wetlands in favor of dead presidents?

Lake Juliana and Lake Mattie both lie entirely within the State of Florida's boundary of the green swamp Eco-region, and has been declared the Green Swamp area of critical concern because of it's importance to our water supplies. Yet county commisioners approve development after development. Juliana's shoreline has been attacked by development for the past 20 years, rendering the lakes natural shoreline plant life nearly gone. Now the county and developers plan attacks upon Lake Mattie. The pressure of short term gains of developers dollars will distroy this precious oasis of wildlife, plant life and water. We cannot count on the county commisioners to do the right thing, WE MUST FIGHT TO SAVE IT...

Lake, Polk, Sumter, Pasco, and Hernando counties and their cities, development interests have successfully petitioned for land use changes, that allow urban developments and roads in the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern at densities and intensities that threaten the continued viability and functioning of the Green Swamp Ecosystem.

Lake Mattie wetlands shoreline:

This natural community supports populations of an estimated 330 species of wildlife and nearly 400 species of plant life. Among this population are more than 35 threatened species or endangered species, including the Florida Black Bear, Florida Scrub Jay, Wood Stork, and Florida Panther. Widespread species such as white-tailed deer, bald eagle, wild turkey, alligators, bore, and numerous songbirds and wading birds are also present. Habitat loss at record numbers put each of these species in precarious positions. Lake Mattie and the Green Swamp provides serenity and seclusion for quiet observation and study of a variety of plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, invertebrates, and amphibians within the natural landscape. At one time, Florida's wetlands were all but given away in order to promote development. Today, with a tremendous knowledge of the importance of these fragile Eco-systems, organizations and the state try to save these lands, but developers have the commisioners on it's side. The increase in populations and a booming building industry pushes developers to subdivide these naturally sensitive lands because they sell consumers on owning a small tract of natural beauty. In fact they are destroying exactly what they sell. Ever notice how subdivisions are named after what they replaced? Small tracts with well manicured lawns and sandy beaches are not natural here, and are detrimental to the ecology of the area. This is the new crime of the century. Minimum 10 or 20 acre lots with 50% natural growth is far closer to the truth of what the developer is trying to sell than what they acually sell. We cannot count on the commisioners who value every development in "the amount of dead presidents it generates yearly", to stop the destruction. The citizens must take on the fight and fight hard to preserve our natural resources.

Board of County Commisioners recent meeting agenda.

Petitioned by Walker Groves Inc. Jere Stambugh owner to change state development guide for land development in "Green Swamp area of Critical Concern" from Agricutural / Low Residential to High Residential / Suburban Vote: 6-0 in favor Land in question: 88 acres of criticle swamp habitat on the east side of Rt 559 south to Cone Rd. (Plan calls for a very small portion to be used as preservation land, the remaining to be developed high density. Saving a small portion of the land for preservation is a ploy used by property owners and developers to increase density on larger portions of the land) Polk County BoCC web site and hearing results: http://www.polk-county.net/county_offices/commissioners/agenda.aspx

NOTICE: APPROVAL OF ALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN ADMENDMENTS TO AREAS WITHIN THE "GREEN SWAMP AREA OF CRITICAL CONCERN"

Comment made by your Polk County Board of Commisioners President when a citizen brought to the boards attentions that an eagles nesting site was in a tree on the property they were holding a public hearing for on Juliana's north shore. "This eagles nesting site is of no concern to this board"

WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP THE DISTRUCTION?

1. Speak out ! Contact board members, go to hearings and voice your opposition to over development. MAKE SOME WAVES. 2. FIRE THE COUNTY BOARD. Elect environment minded members to the board. Elect board members that have no personal business with development. 3. Boycott business' that pillage the land for profit. 4. Contact your state environmental agencies and non- profit organizations to change existing rules and increase preservation lands in critical areas. Whats the pupose of "state areas of critical concern" if county boards can over rule them each and every time? 5. Support redevelopment practices not new development of agricultural and wild lands. 6. Support organizations and business' that help the fight against habitat distruction.

REMEMBER, THIS IS AMERICA AND YOU HAVE A VOICE. IF YOU DONT SPEAK OUT, SCREAM AND SHOUT, AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS, YOU LOSE!
