Recognized Expertise
[Ed. note: As a featured presenter at the December 10, 2005 National Human Rights Conference
http://www.notinmycounty.org/wp-content/user/Poster.pdf I was asked to submit a brief biographical note. If the following personal profile inspires someone to recommend me for either speaking engagements or other forms of employment, I would be eternally grateful.]
On September 8, 2000, I received the Public Good Project (a privately-funded national research network) Defender of Democracy award for "organizing effective opposition to Anti-Indian violence and racism in Washington state."
My first book, Blind Spots http://www.lulu.com/spartacus tells the tale of how social disintegration was engineered in 14 Washington counties thirteen years ago. The free online excerpts from this expose are available on my weblog at http://skookumgeoduck.blogspot.com/2005/05/reign-of-terror.html
My second book, War of Ideas http://www.lulu.com/spartacus provides an analysis of the impediments to meaningful self-government in the US, as well as proposes a curriculum for both formal and popular settings. (Topics include: mass communication and modern social conflict; dynamics of an open society; protecting society from political pathogens; and overcoming obstacles to moral conduct.)
The Fall 2005 issue of Public Eye Magazine features an article http://www.publiceye.org/magazine/v19n2/scher_montana.html on community organizing that cites my 2001 report
Research as Organizing Tool http://skookumgeoduck.blogspot.com/2005/06/research-as-organizing-tool.html
In February 2006, my essay The Power of Moral Sanction was featured in the international journal Forum for Global Exchange, a publication of the Center for World Indigenous Studies.

I presently live just north of San Francisco, where, in 2002, I contributed to the development of a graduate program
Activism and Social Change http://www.newcollege.edu/activismchange/ within the New College of California school of humanities.
