CoffeeTime With Kelly: Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung

The weight of history is on this place, it is a place of great treasure. Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung and the surrounding lands hold the record of almost 8,000 years. The Place of the Long Rapids contains the largest group of burial mounds and associated village sites in Canada.
The first mound builders at the Place of the Long Rapids are known as the Laurel Culture. They inhabited this region from about 300 B.C. to 1100 A.D. At Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung Laurel mounds range in size from 18 to 24 meters in diameter and up to 7 meters in height. All are located on river terraces located along the edge of the river terraces which span the site.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the Archaic Culture were the first residents of Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung. They may have been passing through in a constant search for food. They did not build mounds, but none the less, left their mark.

Mounds were constructed by digging a shallow pit, placing the deceased in and covering the remains with earth. More deceased were then placed on top and covered with earth. Over time, possibly hundreds of years, this layering process created the mounds as we see them today.

Grave goods were sometimes placed with individuals in the mounds. Medicine bags, pipes, food, clay pots, and tools represented items an individual may have required both in life and death.

Environmental Disaster: Natural Disasters That Affect Ecosystems

John P. Milton is a meditation and Qigong instructor, author, and a pioneering environmentalist. He is the founder of Sacred Passage and the Way of Nature. About the book:

He pioneered vision questing in contemporary Western culture in the 1940s. In 1945, at the time he began his sacred solo retreats in the wilderness, vision quests were unknown in the Americas outside Native American culture. He received his M.S. in ecology and conservation from the University of Michigan in 1963.[1] Milton is also known for organizing and leading dozens of expeditions into some of the wildest areas left on Earth, starting in his late teens. A founding father of the environmental movement in the early 1960s, he was a professor of environmental studies and a Woodrow Wilson Center scholar at the Smithsonian Institution. He was one of the first ecologists on staff at the White House as a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, and was a founding member of the environmental organization Friends of the Earth.

He is a frequent lecturer and workshop leader, and a pioneering, renowned, and sought-after meditation and Qi Gong teacher. Thousands of people have sought his instruction since he began teaching in the 1950s. He has developed unique practices for uniting inner and outer nature through training in Buddhist, Taoist, Vedantic, Tantric, and Native American spiritual traditions, and he incorporates T'ai chi and yoga in his work. The book Discovering Beautiful: On The Road To Somewhere includes several sections detailing a student's apprenticeship with John.

John's work in the world is also featured on the Transition United States web site.

His books and articles focus on inner development, Qi Gong and ecology. He recently published the book Sky Above, Earth Below. Devotees of Milton say his programs inspire Earth stewardship by cultivating natural wisdom and an open, loving heart in the wild.

John Milton lives in Tucson, Arizona.
