Sentencing Circles and Restorative Justice
Fort Collins, Colorado has a population of over 10,000, and is growing rapidly.
In 1998, 15-year-old Justin Barton and two of his cousins were at the Foothills Fashion Mall. After dinner they went driving around town with a paintball gun. Upon his cousins telling him he could not go [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=148&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Migis Shells In Shamanistic Ritual
Located primarily on the southeast coast of the United States, these white seashells were considered sacred items by the Ojibwa, Algonquin, and Ottawa peoples. They would travel great distances to obtain these shells, which were revered because of their porcelain-like quality, which reflected the rays of the sun, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=146&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Diabetes Among North American Aboriginals
According to the most common estimates, the occurrence of Type-2 Diabetes among North America’s Aboriginal Peoples is at least three (up to five) times that of the general population. Two-thirds of Aboriginal people with diabetes are women.
Though much less is known about diabetes among Métis people, results from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=136&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The Bridge
CHAPTER ONE
The dog sniffed closer, circling the fire until it found a suitable spot to lie down.  It was not a handsome dog, though at one time it may have come from Dane stock. This made no difference to Taraktarak Tekakwitha, better known as Cricket [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=102&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
