THE LETTERS in this series have called attention from time to time to new postage stamps with some Quaker connection, but that connection was usually secondary. Now in March, 1973 a whole series was issued by one government for which the Quaker connection was primary. That was the British Virgin Islands. Two natives are represented, but William Penn is thrown in for good measure and even George Fox, at least on the "first day" cancellation, though neither Fox nor. Penn have any connectfon with the islands. Of the two natives, both were born on the tiny island of Little Jost Van Dyke. Dr. William Thornton as architect designed not only the capitol in Washington but also Library Hall of Philadelphia. The latter was recently tom down but rebuilt in the same design on the same location for the American Philosophical Society. The other Quaker islander is Dr. John Coakley Lettsom who founded the Medical Society of London. The stamps supply their portraits and their dates and depict a building associated with them in Philadelphia, Washington or London. Their careers are interesting and they were alluded to some years ago by Charles F. Jenkins in his excellent monograph on Tortola, lately reprinted.-Now AND THEN

U.S. government officials have tried to confine the is­ sues to law and order as relating to occupation of the village of Wounded Knee. The tribal. council cha~man has defined the conflict in terms of outsiders attemptmg to oust him and some of the council members. Recognition of sovereignty under treaty provisions with the United States has been a continuing issue. Appeals have even been made to international bodies for help. The first direct request made to the American Friends Service Committee by people from Wounded Knee was to ask the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva to bring in medical services and supplies because the local Red Cross chapter refused assistance. Although the request was passed along, no action was found nec­ essary, partly because the AFSC North Central Regio?al (Photographs by Ted Hetzel) Office was able to get a physician from Denver to dnve Left to right: Russell Means, AIM; Oglala Sioux Chief Tho:nas to the scene on short notice.

Resistance of their efforts and widespread misapplication of the funds add to Indian feelings of frustration and the urge for action. In Hammon, Oklahoma, for example, some Cheyenne parents and chil­ dren have established their own freedom school because of conditions and attitudes in the public school. The clash with other 'forces in the United States is more than just cultural and political. Powerful economic or­ ganizations want to seize or exploit land occupied or claimed by Indians for the water, timber, oil and minerals as well as space for speculative development. For Native Americans land is life: as the mother to all living crea­ tures, as the basis for preserving their freedom to be them­ selves, as home. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is a part of the Depart­ ment of Interior, and acts as trustee for Indian land and resources. The Department of Interior has other functions that often oppose the best interests of Indian groups. His-

Stops were made at places where "0 mother, come see a rainbow gone to smash!" particularly flagrant treaty violations had taken place. Buss FoRBUSH The intent was to place their twenty-point position paper in the hands of the highest possible officials and seek to set up a process whereby these vital matters could be settled. Through what seems to have been a misjudgment of the seriousness of purpose of participants in the Trail of Broken Treaties and mishandling of discussions about living accommodations, the Trail ended up with Native Americans barricaded in the BIA building. Instead of negotiating issues, the Indian representatives had to ne­ gotiate terms for leaving the building and returning home. By the time these negotiations were completed, con­ siderable damage had been done in the building, and many papers had been taken from the files. All the publicity seemed to focus on what resulted rather than what caused the caravan. During the final negotiations the government agreed that a task force would be appointed to review the twenty-point position paper and to discuss steps toward resolving the issues. Not too long after the elec­ tion, the Administration announced that its policies and programs were already meeting the points made by the Trail of Broken Treaties so there was no need for a task force. Furthermore, the Administration promised strong prosecution of all participants in the Trail of Broken Treaties who were found to have destroyed or taken property. Could the people turn back now and submit passively to a fate decided by others?

I wish that I had had the benefit of this kind of guidance long ago. I was touched by the warm and loving tribute to Betty Furnas Jones in the same issue. However, I take ex­ ception to the title "A Lovely Flame Was Extinguished," and the sentence in the concluding paragraph, "Now that that lovely flame is extinguished, will God find it in his heart to send us another?" In my view as a Friend, the glow and vitality of the human spirit continues and even grows long after the physical body has ceased to exist. I would prefer the title to read THE "A Lovely Flame Burns Brightly," with the above quoted sentence replaced with one suggesting that the glow of Betty 1973 Furnas Jones' spirit will continue to warm the hearts of her friends and GENERAl family and will pass down into suc­ ceeding generations in many ways.

FRIENDS JOURNAL May 15, 1973 307 Listening to God and to One Another

by Ann W. Blair

CARING was the thought to which Phila· delphia Yearly Meeting returned re· peatedly in its week·long sessions from March 23 to March 31, 1973. Beginning at the evening session of the opening day with the theme, "How can we make caring a larger part of our process of living?" we realized throughout the week that caring for each other embraces being human, being sensitive to God, listening deeply to one another, not being judgmental or blocking change blindly. Joe Taylor and a young Friend. Along with attention to the anatomy of caring (Do we care? Do we really care? How do we know we care?), there was less of the misunderstand· ing and polarization of more recent Yearly Meeting sessions. If the reason is that a number of younger members have stopped trying to save us, then the price is too high. But if attitudes have softened as ideas and concerns have been exchanged, then one can hope that there has been in fact a process of reconciliation and healing that will liberate the Yearly Meeting to go forward to a clearer vision of what the Lord requires of us. In this spirit, general principles were accepted for the reorganization of Yearly Meeting's committee structure, as recommended after a year of study by four task groups. Interim planning groups will continue to study existing committee structures and to make spe· Richard Wood and Henry Cadbury. cific recommendations. After searching discussion, guide· lines (not rigid rules) for investment were recommended for Friends Fidu· ciary Corporation and for Trustees of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. The guidelines also may be helpful for other Quaker organizations and for in· dividuals concerned about the rela· tionship between investments and Friends testimonies. For the first time at these sessions, concern for environmental problems was raised. We recognized the need to discipline ourselves in our demands on the world's resources-a response to our testimony on simplicity.
