(see endnote #12 on page 354: "As I found out later, the standardization of the Four Wind color symbolism among the Lakota is a recent phenomenon, probably dating only from the 1970s. See William K. Powers, Sacred Language: Th Nature of Supernatural Discourse in Lakota (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1986, page 143). Yet, it is important to note that some ceremonies, among the Lakota and other tirbes, are relatively invariable and do use very specific colors and symbols.")

Artemisia was a common medicine in ancient Europe. In ancient Rome, artemisia absinthium tea was drunk during sacred rituals and was used as a medicine for colitis and other digestive disorders. It was even part of the prize, a gift of health, for the winner of the four-horse chariot race, symbol of the power of the Roman Empire. See Wilhelmina Feemster Jashemski, "A Pompeian Herbal: Ancient and Modern Medicinal Plants" (Austin: University of Texas Press, 1999)."

From page 14: “The loss of language diversity diminishes the pool of knowledge from which to draw.”
From page 351: (See endnote #21 on page 351: Russell H. Bernard, “Preserving Language Diversity,” in Cultural Survival Quarterly, Fall 1992, page 15), “Loss of language can also have serious political consequences. As Languages are lost, the COURTS may be less likely to recognize or respect the rights of unique ethnic groups. It is easier to claim someone as a citizen of the dominant nation if he or she speaks only the colonial language.”)
