Many 21st century Indigenous groups are descended from peoples who decorated the walls of caves, cliffs, and rocky outcroppings with impressive collections of rock art. These ancient peoples used drawings, engravings, and illustrations for the purposes of intergenerational communication, as they wanted to make sure the memories of their beliefs and experiences would be preserved indefinitely.In a new research project, a rock art expert from Poland looked more closely at the work of modern Indigenous artists from Central Asia (Siberia and Kazakhstan) and Canada, to discover how much they have been influenced by ancient artistic traditions.Ancient Themes by Modern Hands According to archaeologist Andrzej Rozwadowski from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, rock art explores themes that should resonate with Indigenous groups still today. The purpose of his research was to find out how frequently Indigenous artists incorporate such themes into their work and to what extent they did so intentionally, as a way to help modern peoples reclaim their deeply historical cultural identities.

By examining ancient walrus DNA, an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden have retraced the walrus ivory trade routes of the Viking Age. They found that Norse Vikings and Arctic Indigenous peoples were probably meeting and trading ivory in remote parts of High Arctic Greenland, several centuries before Christopher Columbus “discovered” North America. The study is now published in Science Advances. "On a more human level these remarkable encounters, framed within the vast and intimidating landscapes of the High Arctic, would probably have involved a degree of curiosity, fascination and excitement."

ASHVILLE, NC—Victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina have discovered a clever life hack: identifying as illegal immigrants in order to receive federal aid from the Biden-Harris administration. After days of watching billions pour into the coffers of migrant programs, these displaced citizens decided to get in on the action. Local resident Becky Johnson, standing beside her waterlogged home, was one of the first to make the switch. “I lost everything in the flood—my house, my car, my dog’s favorite chew toy—but FEMA said I didn’t qualify for anything beyond a pamphlet and a bottle of water,” Johnson sighed. “But then I heard about all the goodies being handed out to folks who just crossed the border. I thought, why not? I’m now Bequisha de la Rivera from ‘South Mexico,’ and suddenly I’m getting housing, a new iPhone, and a federal stipend!” The trend caught fire faster than a tropical storm spinning off the coast. Soon, social media was flooded with tips on how to blend in as a newly “arrived” immigrant. Popular suggestions included trading in your Southern accent for broken Spanish, arriving late to all appointments, and nodding thoughtfully when asked if you know how to scale a border wall. “I know it sounds crazy,” said Bill McDougal, who lost his tractor and most of his crop. “But after I saw they were handing out $450,000 settlements to families separated at the border, I figured I could be separated from my tractor, too.” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, when asked about the influx of suddenly foreign-sounding hurricane victims, was dismissive. “It’s important that we don’t conflate natural disaster victims with those escaping true hardship—like having to find WiFi in migrant detention centers. As for North Carolina? Let them figure it out.” Meanwhile, experts warn that this new strategy could inspire a wave of “accidental migration” across other parts of the U.S., with citizens from hurricane-prone states brushing up on their Spanish to tap into the bottomless pit of migrant aid. In response, FEMA is reportedly considering a new aid category for “trans-migrants”—Americans who have spiritually and financially relocated across the southern border without leaving their hometowns. As Bequisha de la Rivera summed up the sentiment sweeping North Carolina: “If the Biden-Harris administration won’t acknowledge us as Americans, maybe we’ll just stop being Americans altogether.” The post Victims of Hurricane Helene identifying as illegal immigrants so they can get some federal aid from the Biden-Harris administration appeared first on Genesius Times.
