Oh lordy-we did those, too. Like that was going to help living in N.Fl.-or anywhere else for that matter. I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis mostly as a time when the adults around me were about ready to jump out of their skin and my parents were talking about moving north. Glad that didn't happen.
I know, right? We were told that because of Lockheed, Oklahoma was one of the top targets for the Russians. Even as a pretty young kid, I realized that ducking and covering wasn't gonna help much if the nukes started falling.
We lived across from Blueberry Flats on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska...directly under the proposed site to intercept one of the Soviet nuclear warheads. There was talk of Wyoming oil fields being a target as well.
In school, we did the "crouch in the hallway with head tucked under and hands clasped behing your neck" drills. Plus they showed us scary movies, with the likes of giant ants that ate radiation tainted sugar.
Little did they expect, that we'll probably go out like Silent Spring.
So until then, it's bacon, Bacon, BACON!! Thanks, G&B!

All I saw in school was films about drug-crazed hippies under the influence of LSD and other hallucinogens.
Wait. It wasn't a film. That was me. My bad.
Why must I feel like that..why must I chase the cat?

Isn't Yaahl the resident expert on fried wazoo? I seem to remember a lotta talk about bum-gut!
Bumgut isn't fried... lol That would be just too disgusting. I do prefer boiled moose nose over bumgut. Our elders always get the moose lips, they just love that part.
It's time for an ignorant American story. I've never been to Canada, so perhaps I can be forgiven for not knowing until just a few years ago that The Hudson Bay Company still existed. I'd never really thought about it and just assumed it was long gone.
Hudson Bay Company was actually British run from 1670until 1970. The HQ and Governorship was brought to Canada around 1971 and remained Canadian until 2006 it was bought out by Jerry Zucker and now belongs to NRDC Equity. The HBC archives are some of the most detailed historical documents about Canadian First Nations and the fur trade. My grandchildren's father's ancestor was a Hudson Bay man who was married to a Cree woman from Churchill, MB. We have been able to access these records and the detail in the HBC records is astonishing about who she was.

I can see the wheel turning but the Hamster appears to be dead.
A friend of mine had a brother who had a shop that was half head shop, half surf shop. I had the best of both worlds at the time.
So you were a hippie surfer chick? hahaaa

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has info on recipes for beef soup and frybread to feed 200-300 people at an outdoor powwow? My step-father passed and we would like to honor him with a feed but have never done this before. I would appreciate suggestions on recipes, ingredients, cooking times, equipment...
If you were forces to live on a small Iceland, big enough to do a powwow dance, alone, what would you bring with you?
There are off course fresh water and enough fruits to survive on your Iceland.
And it's hot enough to not fresh at night.
BUT no electricity, so sorry, you would...
PowWows.com is excited to open another new feature of the site!
You now can take quizes and compete against each other in trivia contests. The categories will range from sports, music, movies, to history, and Pow Wows.
There is only 1 quiz currenlty, but try your luck...
