Blackfoot Ways of Knowing is a journey into the heart and soul of Blackfoot culture. As a scholar and researcher, Betty Bastien places Blackfoot tradition within a historical context of precarious survival amid colonial displacement and cultural genocide. In sharing her personal story of reclaimed identity, Bastien offers a gateway into traditional Blackfoot ways of understanding and experiencing the world.For the Siksikaitsitapi, knowledge is experiential, participatory, and ultimately sacred. Bastien maps her own process of coming to know, stressing the recovery of the Blackfoot language and Blackfoot notions of reciprocal responsibilities and interdependence. Rekindling traditional ways of knowing is essential for Indigenous peoples in Canada to heal and rebuild their communities and cultures. By sharing what she has learned, Betty Bastien hopes to ensure that the next generation of Indigenous people will enjoy a future of hope and peace.

This monograph grew out of joint work with various dedicated colleagues and students at the Vienna Institute for Advanced Studies. We would probably never have begun without the impetus of Johann Maurer, who for some time was the spiritus rector behind the Institute's macromodel of the Austrian economy. Manfred Deistler provided sustained stimulation for our research through many discussions in his econometric research seminar. Similar credits are due to Adrian Pagan, Roberto Mariano and Garry Phillips, the econometrics guest professors at the Institute in the 1982 - 1984 period, who through their lectures and advice have contributed greatly to our effort. Hans SchneeweiB offered helpful comments on an earlier version of the manuscript, and Benedikt Poetscher was always willing to lend a helping . hand when we had trouble with the mathematics of the tests. Needless to say that any errors are our own. Much of the programming for the tests and for the Monte Carlo experiments was done by Petr Havlik, Karl Kontrus and Raimund Alt. Without their assistance, our research project would have been impossible. Petr Havlik and Karl Kontrus in addition. read and criticized portions of the manuscript, and were of great help in reducing our error rate. Many of the more theoretical results in this monograph would never have come to light without the mathematical expertise of Werner Ploberger, who provided most of the statistical background of the chapter on testing for structural change . .

Blackfoot Ways of Knowing is a journey into the heart and soul of Blackfoot culture. In sharing her personal story of "coming home" to reclaim her identity within that culture, Betty Bastien offers us a gateway into traditional Blackfoot ways of understanding and experiencing the world. As a scholar and researcher, Bastien is also able to place Blackfoot tradition within the context of knowledge building among indigenous peoples generally, and within a historical context of precarious survival amid colonial displacement and cultural genocide. In mapping her own process of coming to know, Bastien stresses the recovery of the Blackfoot language and of the Blackfoot notions of reciprocal responsibilities and interdependence. For the Siksikaitsitapi, knowledge is experiential, participatory, and ultimately sacred, rather than objective and inert. Rekindling traditional ways of knowing is essential if First Nations people in Canada are to heal and rebuild their communities and cultures. By sharing what she has learned, Betty Bastien hopes to ensure that the next generation of First Nations people will enjoy a future of hope and peace.

Title- Dyslexic Dick Subtitle - True Adventures of My World Volume - 1 About The Book I first discovered that I had dyslexia when I was 44 years old. At the time, I reached the peak of my career as a Director of Production in information technology for the fixed income service bureau, a division of ADP Automatic Data Processing Inc. My mother was dying of cancer and I was helping her put her affairs in order before her agonizing death. She had pulled out a box that she had hidden away for years, and handed me a big folded piece of vanilla crepe paper. I open the paper to reveal my first kindergarten attempt at spelling my full name, and that almost every letter was painted in the reverse image. Shocked at what I had discovered, I looked at her and asked, "I'm Dyslexic?" My mother acknowledged, and told me that she and my father had learned of my dyslexia when I was 13 years old. She continued to explain how my parents decided to keep it a secret from me and everyone else they could. My parents thought I would grow out of it. Blinded with anger of what I learned, knowing that I had certainly not grown out of my dyslexia. My life shot before my eyes, of all the difficulties I had even to this day due to dyslexia. Later that evening at home I had sworn my wife to secrecy, had a few drinks, and decided to bury this family secret forever. After 10 years of concealment of my learning disability, I had done an in depth research on dyslexia. I discovered that 1 out of 5 Americans have a reading and writing disability in which 70% are dyslexic that is about 43 million people. In addition, because of the social effects of growing up as a perceived illiterate through learned behavior, a dyslexic's personality becomes defensive by hiding the disability. Some of the personality traits of a dyslexic are isolation, only 25% are married or in a long-term relationship. They are masters of deception when it comes to concealing their disability. Because dyslexics feel inadequate personally and socially, there is a very high rate of long-term depression, drug and/or alcohol abuse. During my research I had this Big Ah-Ha moment, these were all the personality traits I had experienced, although I went through life thinking that I suffered from a bad case of stupidity. But, now this problem has a name-Dyslexia. Then for the first time I took a trip down memory lane to my childhood, and began to write. I never wanted to go back there before, because I didn't want to remember those days. When I started writing, I couldn't stop. Once I finished writing I realized that I had lived a pretty crazy childhood, filled with many funny, suspenseful and emotional stories. So strap on your seatbelts and keep your hands inside the window. This is your wild ride of Dyslexic Dick, True Adventures of My World. Richard "Dick" W. Kraemer

We are publishing again, after a hiatus. Led by a new editorial board, ReVision publishes with a commitment to the future of humanity and the Earth, ReVision emphasizes the transformative dimensions of current and traditional thought and practice. ReVision advances inquiry and reflection especially focused on the fields presently identified as philosophy, religion, psychology, social theory, science, anthropology, education, organizational transformation, and the arts. We seek to explore new models of transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, multicultural, dialogical, and socially engaged inquiry, frontier science, as well as ancient ways of knowing, and to bring such work to bear on what appear to be the fundamental issues of our times through a variety of written and artistic modalities. In the interests of renewal and fresh vision, we strive to engage in conversation a diversity of perspectives and discourses which have often been kept separate, including those identified with terms such as Western and Eastern; indigenous and nonindigenous; Northern and Southern; feminine and masculine; intellectual, practical, and spiritual; local and global; young and old.
