Journalist Amy Goodman spoke at Syracuse Unviersity last night  as a guest of the Syracuse Peace Council and the Tully Center for Free Speech. Her show Democracy Now! was broadcast today from the studios of WCNY.

Goodman says her show covers Movements (such as Occupy Wall Street) because Movements have the makings of power.

Turtle Clan Faithkeeper Oren Lyons, who was an all-American Lacrosse goalkeeper at Syracuse University, along with Professor Philip Arnold, former SU lacrosse/football star (and NFL player) Jim Ridlon and former SU lacrosse coach Roy Simmons, Jr. discussed the history, progression and sportsmanship of lacrosse earlier this week at Syracuse Stage.

They appeared as part of the Onondaga Land Rights & Our Common Future Educational series coordinated by Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation.  Lyons talked about classic battle with Mohawk players and playing with broken ribs.

Coach Simmons insisted that lacrosse is a gentleman’s game, not a savage game. He also talked about the evolution of the lacrosse stick from being made with wood and animal gut to the more modern kevlar and nylon version.
