The Last Speech of Deskaheh (on the evening of March, 10, 1925, suffering from a serious attack of pleurisy and pneumonia, he made his last speech. It was before a radio microphone in Rochester. Once more, and more forcefully than ever, he hurled defiance at big nations who disregard the claims of smaller peoples.) Nearly everyone who is listening to me is a pale face, I suppose I am not. My skin is not red but that is what my people are called by others. My skin is brown, light brown, but our cheeks have a little flush and that is why we are...

You will be sure to generate smiles from family members and guests when including fresh flowers on the dinner table and other spaces in your home.

By Isaac White. I’ve been experiencing a problem with too many contrasting thoughts running through my head lately. With movies and tv anyway. In the last couple of weeks there has been much more consumption of entertainment content on my part than normal. Not that that’s a bad thing. I can’t get in trouble watching a movie right? Well, you’ve never had the experience of watching a movie with me. You never know what can happen. A bank robbery, a father and son connecting on a level they’ve never known before, a talking dragon who takes us on an...

Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, are most often seen in Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia, but an 11-year solar cycle that’s expected to peak in 2024 is making the lights visible in places farther to the south. Three months ago, the light displays were visible in Arizona, marking the third severe geomagnetic storm since the current s...

Despite human rights groups warning about the potential harm to civilians, the United States will provide Ukraine with cluster munitions to fortify its defense against Russia, and to aid in their lackluster counteroffensive.
