Hunter Bear; guide to activism

NOTE BY HUNTER BEAR:

We have been doing a little reorganization of our massive and very heavily visited Lair of Hunterbear website -- during which the Site itself remains completely open and functional. We launched it at the beginning of 2000 and, since we had for several months [latter 1999] a "freebee" predecessor -- "Red Wobbly." we can say that our website world is now well into its ninth year. Initially, its primary purpose was to deal with the harassment and collateral dimensions levied, usually very surreptitiously, by a range of folks -- sometimes reaching back into many years indeed -- who, for whatever reason or reasons, threw poisonous darts and tried to implant knives in our back. [There is an old Native saying, "When you fish for trout, expect to be bitten by mosquitoes." To that I would add, certain kinds of snakes.]

For a trenchant discussion of some of that, see our consistently updated webpage, Duel In The Shadows:
http://hunterbear.org/duel_in_the_shadows.htm

But almost immediately after its hatch, we began adding all sorts of advocacy and informational feathers -- and we have gone far, far beyond our original purposes.

I should also add that both Eldri and myself and our entire family count our wealth in the truly vast number of fine friends we have accumulated over many, many decades.

Basically what we've done in our somewhat website reorganization -- still on-going -- is to list the titles of slightly over 100 selected pages in the upper part of our Directory/Index http://hunterbear.org/directory.htm

Those pages -- as with virtually all of our several hundred website pages -- involve almost completely my own personal experience, observation, and analysis.

And these are the primary subject areas: Organizing approaches and techniques and strategies, Native Americans and Native rights, militant labor, civil rights and civil liberties, American West. There is some personal background and just a little on Systemic Lupus. Practically all of this -- as is the case with the entire website -- comes from my half century of involvement in social justice activism. [I have made no effort at this point to group these 100 plus pages into subject categories -- but the respective titles are clear and explicit,

After those pages, you will encounter this Notice:

"GUIDE'S NOTE: KEEP GOING DOWN, ALL THE WAY [ASSUMING YOU'RE SO INCLINED] AND YOU'LL FIND A VAST AMOUNT OF MATERIAL ON A WIDE VARIETY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE MATTERS. MOST OF IT HAS NOT BEEN LISTED ABOVE. -- HUNTER BEAR"

And there is a great deal more indeed in just the same genre down below!

Our website is powered by a major server and contains full Norton protection as of 2008.
