F. Pete Jackson, an Elder from the Gila River Indian Community located in southern Arizona, was taken into Native ceremonies at an early age. Also, while much younger, a Spirit came to him and began to show him the Universe, then the Spirit introduced him as to why and how certain Native ceremonies were conducted, gradually this went into visions about Earth changes, and how a millennium of peace will evolve on Mother Earth.
F. Pete Jackson is a Vietnam veteran with an undergraduate degree in International Management and has extensive experience in Tribal Government.

Join us to celebrate the voices of emerging East Austin writers!
Save Our Youth presents a reading with young writers
from
Eastside Memorial High School
under the direction of English teacher Susan Hauff
and
Lanier High School
under the direction of English teacher Ashley Card
Their autobiographical essays/memoirs of predominantly Chicana/o, Latina/o, and Black 10th graders are about significant moments in their lives that impacted who they are today. Many of the writings are very moving, ranging anywhere from comical to tragedy.
Susan Diaz has been a teacher for 17 years and currently works at Eastside Memorial High School. This fall 2011 semester, she collaborated with her former student, Ashley Card, who currently works at Lanier High School, to do an across school peer edit using Google Docs. The students at both schools uploaded their personal stories to Google Docs and have been helping each other improve their essays via the internet.
