Armed militia, Black Lives Matter protesters collide in Louisville marches. This is what has been happening throughout many American Cities mostly as reported by news stations such as this one by the Lexington Herald Leader.  Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African-American emergency medical technician, was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove on March 13, 2020.

A heavily armed group calling themselves "American patriots" retreated after marching to downtown Louisville when they were confronted by Black Lives Matter protesters calling for justice for Breonna Taylor.

Water Protectors at the main resistance camp in North Dakota vowed continued resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as the camp was largely vacated following a Wednesday eviction order.

Water Protectors at the main resistance camp in North Dakota vowed continued resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as the camp was largely vacated following a Wednesday eviction order. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and North Dakota governor imposed a deadline, leading to around 10 arrests. Before the eviction, prayer ceremonies were held, and part of the camp was set on fire.

Protectors assert the camp sits on unceded Sioux territory under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. While most left, a couple dozen people remain. This encampment, once hosting over 10,000, was the largest gathering of Native Americans in decades. Construction on the final pipeline section resumed after the Trump administration granted an easement to drill beneath the Missouri River.

Wallace Black Elk emphasized that humans are inherently born with love, kindness, generosity, and a giving spirit. Connie Baxter Marlow, author of "Walking in Trust: Radical Childrearing," highlighted trust as fundamental to harmonious living and a new way of being. She asserted that each child inherently knows their path, advocating trust in a loving universe.

This philosophy aligns with a Native American approach to discovery, urging individuals to listen to circumstances and observe signs. Themes of healing separation and courage were also central to their discussion. These insights were shared by Wallace Black Elk, Connie Baxter Marlow, and Sally Ranney in Aspen, Colorado, on July 13, 1998, as excerpts from "REALITY CHECK!"
