Portable rock art such as this pipestone tablet is sometimes found at village and camp sites. If found with pottery, stone tools, charcoal, or other material, portable rock art can often be dated more easily than glyphs carved or painted onto walls. This tablet shows a large circle with radiating lines that might represent the sun. To the right is a circle surrounding a headless “bird-man” with a star above and a moon to the right. This tablet was found on a 500-year-old village site near La Crosse, WI, but the pipestone came from southwestern Minnesota, nearly 250 miles to the west.

Colony Ranks

LEADER // The leader of Pipestone Colony takes on the name Piper to show their status, and the leader of Cloudburst Colony takes on the name Cloud. The leader watches over the Colony and ensures the health and happiness of all the cats. Unlike in canon Warriors, leaders don't recieve nine lives. Instead they must pass a trial to prove they're worthing of leading the Colony to their Clanmates.

SECOND // The second in command takes on the name Burst to show their status in Cloudburst Colony, and Stone in Pipestone Colony. They're in charge when the leader is incapacitated, and are the first choice of successor should the previous leader step down or die.

HISTORIAN // This cat keeps track of all the family lines within the Colony. It’s their job to ensure that there’s no intermingling, and it’s a very important job- without the Historian, whole bloodlines are lost. The Historian holds the Root title as a show of status.

HEALERS // These cats ensure the Colony is as healthy as possible. They take on plant-based names upon becoming full members.

TRAPPERS // These cats lay traps and go hunting- it’s their job to feed the Colony.

GUARDS // These cats are highly trained fighters and spend their time warding off predators like badgers and foxes.

TRAINEES // These cats are training to become a full member of their Colony! Trainees for each rank have a little nickname- Historian trainees are called Twig Paws, Healer trainees are called Herb Paws, Trapper trainees are called Snap Paws, Guard trainees are called Fang Paws, Hearth Keeper trainees are called Spark Paws, Seed Sower trainees are called Sprout Paws, Diver trainees are called Fin Paws, and Tempest trainees are called Wisp Paws. Trainees will spend two or three months training under all ranks until they show a particular skill or interest in one.

KITTENS // awh look at da baby

MENTORS // The oldest cats of the Colony, they’ve retired from their usual duties and live in relative peace within camp walls. They spend their time keeping the Colony’s history and traditions alive and giving advice to those who need it.

•─────⋅☾ ☆ ☽⋅─────•

Cloudburst Ranks

DIVERS // These cats are particularly skilled at swimming, and spend most of their days in the ocean catching fish, squid, and other prey. They have water-based names to show their status.

TEMPESTS // Tempests watch the sky with analytic eyes, tracking the weather and the movement of the clouds. They keep the camp safe, the dens warm, and the kittens under their watchful eyes. Some say that a particularly skilled Tempest could learn to control the weather, summoning rain and droughts with a single thought. They have sky-based names to show their status.

•───────•°•���•°•───────•

Pipestone Ranks

HEARTH KEEPERS // These cats are in charge of keeping Pipestone Colony’s fires burning. Some claim to see omens and prophecies in the sacred flames! They ensure the camp and dens are safe and watch the kittens when their parents are away. They have fire-themed names to show their status.

SEED SOWERS // These cats are in charge of Pipestone Colony’s gardens. They have earth-themed names to show their status.

PLACE FOR CAMPING IN CANADA

Canada offers a wealth of fantastic places for camping, catering to a variety of preferences from coastal to mountainous landscapes. Here are some top picks:

Banff National Park, Alberta: Known for its stunning mountain scenery, crystal-clear lakes, and abundant wildlife. Campgrounds like Tunnel Mountain and Two Jack Lakeside offer great amenities.

NEWS ITEM: As part of a revamp of exhibits at Minnesota's Pipestone National Monument aimed at emphasising the Native American perspective on the sacred sacrament and the material whence it ensues, visitors are advised, in interacting with Native American peoples working the quarry site, to not only be respectful of such peoples and their folkways, but also to "be open to the fact that someone's oral tradition or knowledge may not align with what you have been taught."

In Peter Potamus' case, his acquaintenance with the uncharted reaches of Polynesia such as where nakedness is still considered acceptable and sexual openness is not exactly seen as pornographic is clearly one of respectful fascination and wonder. One he seeks to carry on to his nephews (Patrick and Perry II) and nieces (Pamela, Peggy and Penelope).

Hi 👋As a Park Ranger (interpretative, like me?), I assume you know all about how the NPS was formed- most of the land was brutally, illegally taken from the local tribes. I've been having a moral dilemma about my role in the national park system. I love educating the public and being a positive influence, but am I upholding an oppressive system? I know that if I were to switch to education or to museums, it'd be the same question. What I'm asking is: how do you reconcile with that?

I mean, this is true of all the land in the US, so it's bigger than the park service.

Before I dig into this as a white person, here's what Deb Haaland has to say:

I think that the Park Service has a lot to reckon with historically, and I think parks lately are showing some interest in trying to do that. From big parks like Yellowstone bringing diverse Indigenous stakeholders to to table on management decisions while also supplying buffalo to regrow and strengthen herds thousands of miles away, to Canyon de Chelly's requirement that tourists travel into the canyon only with a Navajo guide in recognition of the location's sacred nature, to Pipestone National Monument celebrating ongoing traditional pipestone quarrying, to advocacy for protection by the Department of the Interior at Bears Ears.

As a (pretty much entirely) white interp ranger, I understand that I'm living in someone else's home, but I was living in someone else's home when I lived in LA too, and none of that is unique to the US. And honestly I think, for the tremendous flaws of the National Park idea, at least we try to preserve things. In a lot of colonial nations that hasn't been the case.

I think more National Park Sites should form better relationships with local tribal governments, and see what they want. Different people have different relationships with different places, and will want different things. I think the Park Service should open the door to co management more, and encourage more opportunities for Indigenous people to tell their own stories and not leave it all in the hands of randos like us. I think we're moving the right direction in that regard.

The fact of the matter, in the end, is that none of this begins or ends with the Park Service. It's a puzzle piece, a tool used to enact, enforce, repair, undo, and uphold the ideals of a nation that has never effectively dealt with its past, present, or future. I think protecting land from development and preserving natural spaces is a valuable, albeit naive, goal. It can't be done in a vacuum though. As I look toward a future of the National Parks, I see a lot more Native involvement in their management. That will look different in each site, in reflection of the different cultures there. I can't speak to what that will look like for anywhere in particular, but it is happening already, and as educators it's part of our job to explain the whys and hows of that to people who don't get it, and who think sharing will mean losing something they love. At the end of the day, that thing they loved was broken, and there is good momentum behind fixing it, and most people can understand that given time.

I think it's good that you feel guilty. It means you're paying attention. I think the important thing now is to turn that into momentum and passion. Figure out what you can do and do it.
