Crater at Serpent Mound
BY THOMAS T. JOHSON
Ohio is an ancient sea bed dating back hundreds of millions of years, to a time when the earth was covered with a salt water sea. Its fossil-rich sediments extend more than 5000 feet deep. Located on the edge of the Appalachian Mountain Escarpment, the Serpent Mound Crater has unusual geology, which dates back about 600 million years to the pre-Cambrian period. Rocks exposed in the crater date from 438 million to 345 million years old.
At that time there was a "T" shaped fault in the sea floor just east of Serpent Mound, running north-south along the sea floor from Sinking Spring to Locust Grove, and east-west parallel to Parker Ridge Road. Over 300 million years ago an asteroid or meteor collided with the seabed, creating a crater 5 miles wide. This is the only place on earth where an object from space has collided with a rift or fault in the earth's surface.
The impact created magnetic anomalies across the crater. The faulting in the crater has a direct effect on the weather, causing severe storms to dissipate as they approach the rim. Local residents tell of the batteries on vehicles and cell phones being mysteriously drained.

Introducing Itachan, Kari Black Elk, Lakota
Sungmanitu Isnala (Lone Wolf)
Kari is the grandson of Wallace Black Elk and his paternal grandmother is a survivor of Wounded Knee Massacre. His paternal great grandfather is Afraid Of Enemy...one of the guardians of the Elk Head family who were the original keepers of the sacred bundle gifted by the White Buffalo Calf Woman.
Kari was raised to learn sacred ways of a Lakota and became very close with his grandfather Wallace Black Elk and other medicine men. With their influences, he carries on their legacies. The wisdom and knowledge he possesses are beyond his years.
Kari became a political/environmental activist at a very young age, designated as a youth AIM leader called Shades Of Red and a representative of youth public speaking engagements on protection of environmental issues sharing the stage with other well known activists such as Robert Kennedy Jr., Robby Romero and Xiuhtezcatl Martinez.
Throughout the years, Kari’s roles advanced from Water Protector at Standing Rock to become one of the numerous headsman of the Oceti Sakowin (Seven Council Fires) and still continues to fight for our native peoples’ true sovereignty. His development of his own warrior society known as Thunder Beings Are Protecting engages in various events. Last year, Kari and other members gave personal testimonies impacting to codify ICWA in the state of Colorado and to ensure MMIR amendment bills. Both bills passed successfully.
Kari has evolved in many aspects career wise. But his greatest passion will remain to do whatever is necessary on behalf of the indigenous people rights and justice which compliments along with his sister Leslie. His first year as an Intercessor of a sundance will be held this summer, it is open for anyone to come pray with our Black Elk family. To sum up Kari, he has already become phenomenal in the same sense of his grandfather Wallace
Carla Poluha, Red Tent Facilitator and Community Gatherer Co-Host of Serpent Mound Star Knowledge Peace SummitsCarla has acquired many certifications and titles in her professional life, she believed she would climb the professional ladder of success, but much to her surprise , her well thought out plan was interseeded by Creator. There was a far better plan without limitations . All she would be required to do was let go and allow the Inner Goddess to flow and hear the call to gather the women in Red Tents . Red Tents are held during the energy of the new moon , a time when women naturally go within and are most in need of community . It is during this time that women must gather in circle to reclaim the wisdom of our ancestors. To get back into nature to embrace the medicines and recall the ways of our culture and lineage that was once forgotten . Carla is truly a champion of women and gatherer of community. Her passion for peace within humanity comes from her life experiences through adoption. This experience left her to uncover and come to a growing understanding of the core wound within all women and of humanity. This core wound of sex and sexuality is the root that ails all beings . Without uncovering and embracing core wounds we become warriors out to defend and destroy any and all who do not share our beliefs . It’s time to put down the swords with the knowledge that we are already free . The systems are broken , they do not require to be fixed . It’s time to experience liberation and create new ways of being that serve humanity and not the systems. Carla is constantly practicing the balance of creative ideas, passion in the heart and opening to the unfolding of experiences through LOVE
Drumming Baba Jubal Harris
Is a percussionist, drum maker, storyteller and teaching artist. My goal is to engage students and teachers in an artistic process that integrates the traditional arts with the core academic curriculum. During a recent Ohio Arts Council (OAC) Arts Learning residency at the Ohio School for the Blind, band and choir students in grades K-12 learned to play and sing African polyrhythms. History, geography, science, math and culinary arts were also integrated into their classroom curriculum. During another OAC residency at the Southern Ohio Museum and Cultural Center, fifth-grade students made drums and learned to perform as an ensemble that included, piano, Orff xylophone, vocals and percussion. I am a pioneer of African Centered Arts integration in American schools and my methodology allows collaboration to develop experiences that meet the Ohio Fine Arts Academic Content Standards for music grades K-12.This multiple intelligence approach is holistic and supports student creativity and achievement. Above all, my love of life and joy of sharing my many creative talents inspires students to learn.
I am a socially responsible artist rooted in the realization that life is a precious gift to be enjoyed and shared with reverence and respect. I strive to reflect the beauty and simplicity of nature in my art and music. My approach is harmonic and holistic. I dramatize African folktales because they are entertaining and, most importantly, they impart wisdom. My musical style employs the instruments of the full African orchestra, the song of the lead singer and chorus, hand clapping and dance that recreates a dramatic and mystical ritual saga. I make drums that are traditional and contemporary in style and construction technique. They are functional works of art. I currently perform with internationally acclaimed Kora player Alhaji Papa Susso from The Gambia, West Africa. I also perform with my ensemble "One World Rhythm" which includes musicians from West Africa, the Caribbean and the United States.
