For immediate release, update on Frontier 1859 Online Virtual World Project.

---

How best can Frontier 1859 serve as a Tribute to Native Americans, and begin the process to restore the breech many of our white fore-fathers established ( also called "Modernization and Homogenization by The Western Economic Machine)?

I have asked these questions with the deepest part of my heart. I no longer look to this project as merely "a game" but rather as an opportunity to shed new light on some of the cultures as found in the area of land that this project will model (The Great Basin). As a result, Native peoples have begun to share in the vision of the project, and their insight has opened up a viable new direction.

Since I am part Menominee, I have an affinity with what happened to many peoples in my spirit. While such things have happened to all cultures and peoples throughout many centuries, we have all become very familiar with the evils in this world, and the wrongs that have been done. However, to remain focused on them is not helpful in any way.

Thus, I beleive the secret will lie in allowing players from all walks of life to learn about the customs and traditions of Native Americans by role playing. I beleive this will give the opportunity for any race of people desiring to know more - a chance to discover it, and in that process help preserve a more harmonious way of life.

All of us, whether native or not, have an opportunity to do good with our skills and talents, or to "infect a wound." That means everyone is responsible for their own actions, and we have already planned a most extraordianry system for in-game checks and balances called "The Dynamic Conscience Inventory Tracking System."

Let us work together, and establish a virtual world where we can accomplish this new goal. I will therefore, remain flexible in the planning and implementation of our design dynamics in order to best suit this new direction.

Please join us in the launching of our new community forum, and the addition of Native American people who have recently joined this project discussion.
