The undercover operative in a federal bust of artifact trading collected around $7,500 a month for secretly recording transactions with collectors and sellers across the Southwest for more than two years, new court papers say.
Ted Gardiner, a Utah antiquities dealer, got an initial $10,000 payment before the sting operation began in earnest, then collected regular monthly payments throughout 2007 and 2008, according to FBI disclosures in court files.

News From Indian Country
 Federal prosecutors have dismissed murder charges against former
American Indian Movement activist John Graham in the 1975 death of
Annie Mae Pictou Aquash.
Graham, who was extradited to the United States in June of 2006, had
faced a Feb. 16 trial in federal court along with Richard "Dickie"
Marshall. However, continuing issues with whether Graham was, or is an
American Indian forced federal officials to drop the case. Marshall was
accused of providing the gun and shells that was used to kill Aquash
and his trial is expected to begin as scheduled.

Kodiak, Alaska (AP) Feb. 2010
Bentwood visors worn by Native Alaskans in many parts of coastal Alaska should be part of traditional wardrobe worn by the Kodiak Alutiiq Dancers, but for years the group has shared one visor due to the scarcity of the headwear.
That may change with a workshop by visiting Aleut artist Patricia Lekanoff-Gregory. Working at the National Guard Armory, Lekanoff-Gregory is teaching the dancers and anyone who wants to learn how to make their own visors.

 The Catholic mystic Thomas Merton wrote in the 1960's, "Let me say this before rain becomes a utility that they can plan and distribute for money. By "they" I mean the people who cannot understand that rain is a festival, who do not appreciate it's gratuity, who think that what has no price has no value, that what cannot be sold is not real, so that the only place to make something actual is to place it on the market. The time will come when they will sell you even your rain."
