THUR, MAY 2, (7:30) Poetry Flash presents a reading by Jennifer Elise Foestster and Andrew Schelling, at Moe’s Books, 2476 Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley, 510.849.2087, moesbooks.com, Poetryflash.org Jennifer Elise Foerster's first book of poems is Leaving Tulsa. Joy Harjo says, "Wow. This first book of poems by Jennifer Foerster reminds me of the urgent vision fueling Kerouac's On the Road. . .Foester spins her poem-songs like wheels. She's from a younger generation, and not a man but a native woman trying to put the story of a broken people back together." A former Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, she is of mixed German, Dutch, and Muscogee descent and a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma. Andrew Schelling's new book of poems is A Possible Bag. Kit Robinson says of it, "Translator, scholar, poet Andrew Schelling works from linguistic roots both East (Sanskrit) and West (Arapaho) to imagine how we might relate to earth differently since we can now see human inhabitation as a limited engagement." Among his previous books of poems are From the Arapaho Songbook and Old Tale Road; he's published a collection of essays, Wild Form, Savage Grammar: Poetry, Ecology, Asia; the most recent of his translations from Sanskrit---he's been studying Sanskrit and Indian raga for thirty years---is Dropping the Bow: Poems of Ancient India. Wheelchair accessible; ASL interpreters may be requested one week in advance from edi...@poetryflash.org. Visit Poetryflash.org for more events and reviews!

Precious Cargo, Childbirth and Cradle Baskets in California Indian Culture. Museum of the American Indian, 2200 Novato Blvd, Miwok Mark, Novato, CA 94927. 415.897-4064. Exhibit runs through August but looks like it’s still up. California people have relied on cradle baskets for centuries to protect their children and also to play a role in shaping a child's character and directing his or her future. Concern for the child's future is also reflected within the cradle, as the basket becomes a vehicle for the community's most serious views concerning health and one's relationship with the world. The tribe's survival lay within the cradle basket. Funded by SF Foundation, City of Novato, Marco Vidal, Marin County Supervisors, Rocky Fund, Lyons Family Endowment, Members and Donors.

The 14th Annual Native American Music Awards will be inducting the late American Indian activist, actor, and musician, Russell Means, into the NAMA Hall of Fame on May 10, 2013 at the Seneca Niagara Hotel & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. An inspirational visionary, Russell Means, passed away in October of 2012 at his ranch in Porcupine, South Dakota at the age of 72. He will remain one of the most magnetic voices in America. As a musician, Means released two national recordings, the 16 track Electric Warrior, on Warrior Records in 1993, and The Radical, released on the American Indian Music Company, Inc., in 1995. Means entered the entertainment business in both film and music to try to change mainstream attitudes toward American Indians. His recordings contained songs entitled, “Nuclear World”, “Paha Sapa”, “Wounded Knee Set Us Free”, “Chief Joseph”, “Consipiracy To Be Free” and more. His wife Pearl Means will be present to receive the Hall of Fame Induction. A musical tribute, accompanied by images of Means throughout his life, will be performed by Native American Music Award winner CC Murdock. CC Murdock, who won Best Country Recording in 2011, will be performing the song, Go Rest High On That Mountain. During his final journey, the ashes of Russell Means were spread at Yellow Thunder Camp in the Black Hills. Copies of Russell Means’ CD recordings will be available at the 14th Annual Native American Music Awards and at: http://www.russellmeans.com

The National Juvenile Justice Network and its partner, the Juvenile Justice Information Exchange (JJIE.org), are launching a new online resource called the Juvenile Justice Resource Hub. The hub pulls together information and resources to provide a high-quality overview of key issues in juvenile justice, strategies for change, and resources that include research, toolkits, and links to national experts. It can be found at http://jjie.org/hub. This year, the Juvenile Justice Resource Hub will post material in the areas of mental health, indigent defense, evidence-based practices, aftercare, racial and ethnic fairness, and community-based alternatives for youth in trouble with the law. The first focus area to be published will be mental health. In months to come, the site will focus on issues such as why so many youth of color end up in the juvenile justice system, and why so few of them get appropriate legal counsel. Includes a 43-second video of Sarah Bryer, director of NJJN, introducing the hub: http://youtu.be/8s1CMAzAb2A.
