Rob Me Two Times
Quick plug: The Journal was delighted last week to receive a visit from Beth Bosk and R.D. Deines, editor and publisher of the New Settler Interview. If you’re not already hip to the NSI, it’s never to late to start — generations from now, historians will look to as the most important document of the North Coast back-to-the-land movement in all its messy glory.
The new issue has a couple of real gems. For one, Bosk profiles the guy who came out of nowhere to win this year’s Cannabis Cup — with outdoor, no less! — and gets him to share his secrets. But the centerpiece of the issue is a long, long series of interviews with the Humboldt County treesitter known as Farmer, the end of which shows some perspective on the treesits currently underway on the McKay Tract.
The New Settler Interview: indispensable. Find it at finer macramé supply stands and head shops.

Okits, Opits—are you sure you didn’t mean Obits?

Ay yi yi. It seems to be “Okits.” Not sure where I picked the other one up — could be one of those deals where two different authorities have two different transliterations.
Thanks.

For as long as i can remember, one of the Universities down south, has conducted summer field trips to gather native american artifacts in this community. this with no regard for locals, indian or otherwise, and with no museum, or exhibit to enrich this area. Typical case of the govt itself doing what it jails and fines the public for doing.
