PLEASE READ OUR MISSION STATEMENT BELOW

"OUR MISSION STATEMENT"

"columbiariverman"

Offers the private and public sectors of archaeology, amateur archaeology, private collectors, and hobbyist the clear right to use this materials for lector, research and education.   

WE ADVOCATE FOR THE STUDY OF PACIFIC NORTHWEST ARCHAEOLOGY

    HELLO,  I'm FRED VAN RONK a PROFESSIONAL ARCHAEOLOGIST, with a degree from a major Pacific Northwest University and offer this information and statement, to the public.  We Strongly believe that Anthropology and Archaeology is for ALL to enjoy.

"Limiting knowledge is a crime,"  Limiting knowledge, inhibits growth of the human spirit and limits balance within fields of anthropology and archaeology.  We believe that it's our mission to balance anthropology and archaeology and to correct, critique, and promote the study of the discipline of American Anthropology.  We believe that many of our public anthropologist in the Pacific Northwest are using their public and stately position towards the political left and have created a form of anti-private and anti-moderate view of our cultural resources assets.   We believe these special interests groups of  Anthropologist and Archaeologist, ONLY advocate from the public sector. It is our view that this is a one sided view tend to view all cultural resources as public property.  We believe this is very poor judgment on their behalf and has a negative affect on the vast majority of the American population.  We believe that in our many years of experience, we see this small minority of "All Pro-Public Property" group as a threat to education, and advancement of the science of archaeology.  We see this same small group as have taken control of most of our public colleges and universities and preaching only "Public Control of Cultural Resources"  Tell us, Mr. and Mrs. All Public Control Groups about a world with a one line philosophy of public control?  Then tell us, that others views, values and philosophies are not acceptable within your anti-private groups?  Then also tell us what happened to Private sector, yes the people who pay your pay check? Perhaps, those of you view all cultural resources as public property also view American as a Socialist America?  Our point is simply, PRIVATE IS AS GOOD AS PUBLIC, AMERICA NEED BOTH, ONE TO BALANCE THE OTHER.

     Perhaps, we have come to a point where a few leftist and idealist decide for all of us?  Then these few leftist and idealist, need to come a take control of all the collection and  return all of those collections to the tribes? Perhaps, these same idealist people can contact the leftist press and set up a huge ceremonial TV and press meeting to proof that they are open mind social workers? Then please, tell us folks who have paid for your education, your wages, and over extended your legal right to free speech, free press, and allowed you and others to take control of all thinking, writing, and ownership of art and artifacts what your going to study after all the art and artifacts have been returned to the tribes to be destroyed? Please, then note that after you have returned all the art and artifacts "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO STUDY?.  Perhaps At this point we have just one big mind set, "Your leftists idealist philosophy,"  We see those who complain about "PRIVATE OWNERSHIP" are just one group, they all have one philosophy one common denominator  and all are working for the federal,  state, or have retired from government.  AMERICA NEEDS BALANCE.

     Public and Tribal ownership of cultural resources has it drawbacks, as in all cases of Socialism its never worked any place on earth.  All public ownership has it limits.  Limits, that control others thinking, limits that inhabit new science, limits that limit expression in writing, and for diversity of the discipline of research within Anthropology/Archaeology.  Our extensive investigation has produced evidence of Public Employees, state and federal employees that advocate only tribal stewardship and ownership. We believe this Mono position is wrong and violates the American People Trust as well as the American Dream.  We ask all those idealist and Ivory Tower PhD's for a Debate on who owns what?  We ask these idealist who demand for themselves diversity, but practice a limited MONO idealist view for equal time on your political correct and legal correct ownership and stewardship of "Cultural Resources".  For us, science is study and research, not a political correct and idealist power to please a few militants and fundamentalists American Indians.  We see science as the true looser of such debauchee as well as 99% of the Americans people. We also see your students, who you fill with one sided values and anti-American and Mono views and hatred toward the private sector as a large looser.  AMERICA NEEDS BALANCE.

       We have no issue with American Indians who wish and want to share in the American Dream.  We all came to this earth the same as all other humans.  We believe, we all have the legal and infallible right to have personal and private items, the same as American Indians have or any other human who is part of the human experience. We consider, cultural remains of Ancient America as a resource for the "Entire American Community" and to be shared by all the people of the earth.  We find that destroying cultural remains for any reason be it religious or spiritual or for just hate, covet and to sell in the black market as criminal.  We believe that the vast majority of the American people want and have the legal right to enjoy, share, view art and artifacts from ancient people of all America, before Columbus not simply a few idealist, and fundamentalist. 

AMERICA,  NEEDS BALANCE AND ARCHAEOLOGY NEEDS BALANCES

   We consider those fundamentalist groups as anti-science and well armed with anger and hate of other Americans. We know that nobody can return time to before 1492 nor any other wished time.  People of the earth have migrated, conquered burned, killed raped, and even enslaved others for thousands of years.  We also know that all the people of the earth living today have at one time or the other been a victim of such conquered, raped, and enslaved cultures.  So we ask that we stop the anger and hate of the past and dwell on the future and understand that all cultures, civilianization and societies of the earth have been ill-treated in the past.  (That's true even those PhD's setting in the Ivory Tower)=( Social workers)

            ARCHAEOLOGY NEEDS BALANCE

    We see many colleague of anthropology/archaeology as selling themselves to anger and hate groups for being political correct or to practice idealism.  We need to be perfectly clear that we do not believe that anthropology/archaeology has any political structure and most of these idealist are bordering on "Marxism" and buying into some political philosophy that has failed everywhere on the plant.  That is unless they believe that  the social system in North Korea, Cuba, or the failed experiment of Eastern Germany is their goal?  On the failed experiment one only has to ask them to drive through Eastern Germany and see what, "Socialist" did to that land.  What we advocate is balance between these idealist and Marxist and a pro-scientists moderate balance based on fact, that Private is just as good as Public.

    "Warning,"  If THE IDEALIST AND SOCIAL WORKERS continue to move into the special interest formula and move to the left in our total approach to Anthropology/Archaeology balance will cease, with no balance we will see free speech, free press, and research and science halted all in the name of idealist and political correctness. Then we will become just another failed Socialist Society.

 We at the same time strongly believe in the FREE AMERICAN ECONOMIC SYSTEM, and advocate for private as well as public ownership of American Indian art and artifacts. We have built our private museum and a scientifically developed, and well curate collection of Columbia River art and artifacts that is OPEN TO VIEW BY ALL, upon reasonable request. We offer free training in cataloging of archaeological artifacts for the amateur archaeologist or collectors.  We don't advocate or legitimize "LOOTING" in the form of digging archaeological  materials. However, we do advocate the right to walk the banks of the rivers and streams, tours of archaeological sites, and the free study of American Indian Pre-history.

      We strongly believe that all Americans and peoples of the earth have the right to know "WHO THE FIRST AMERICANS WERE." I'm a person of the Columbia River having lived 90% of my life within two miles of the Columbia River. I found my first arrowhead when I was 9 or 10 years old,  near the Central Washington town of Wenatchee, Washington. We lived about one mile from the Indian Reservation, and I attended school with American Indian children of my age.

  We believe collecting of art and artifacts is a normal and natural behavior. All humans collect, that all even simple early hunter gathers collected.  So some PhD at liberal tech, please tell us why we are any different today?                                          ARCHAEOLOGY NEEDS BALANCE.

     Most people of the earth search for information about peoples that lived in their area before recent time periods. This curiosity has been  exploited by self-centered, selfish, post modern archaeologists, politicians, and attorneys who are interested in buying vote's,  or dramatizing and lobbying to their position with the State, Federal Government. To them I say, "Science will win in the end," and people will still want to know about America Before Columbus. If you read this message and wish to comment, please do so, without the tones of hate or anger. Honor our rights to free speech you have yours.
