It was more than cold
as the town's 13 electors
gathered in the cavernous
unheated community hall
for an emergency meeting
of the Homeland Security
Committee, called pursuant
to orders issued by the
mayor.
Committee Chair ark
Darken opened the meeting
by pounding a coke bottle on
his table as the last stragglers
found themselves adjusting
to the cold steel folding
chairs. As soon as they were
seated, he read the mayor's
declaration.
"Whereas, the Second
Amendment of the U. S.
Constitution provides that
a well-regulated militia is
necessary for a free state,
the Community Homeland
Security Committee shall
assess the status of our
militia and inventory the
ordinance."
"I hope you all brought
your arms and defensive
weapons so we can do this
inventory quickly," ark
added.
"Does this mean that we
have to register guns?" Einar
Danske asked impetuously.
"No, we're going to make
a list of all of our defensive
weapons," ark replied. "Do
you have a problem with
that?"
"No! NoV' replied Einar.
"I don't have guns. I'm just
a defenseless pacifist living
the Christian life."
"Chief Security Officer
Garvey Erfald is going
to make up the list," ark
continued. "So step right up.
Who's first?"
"I'll be first," announced
Madeleine Morgan as she
sauntered over to Garvey's
table brandishing a pistol.
"My Ex took the guns but
I got this revolver and he
knows I have this revolver.
I'm glad he knows I have this

revolver. In fact, I don't mind
if everybody knows I have
this revolver. "
"Have you ever fired this
thing?" Garvey asked as he
looked the weapon over. "It
has only four bullets."
"Well, last winter, a skunk
came prowling around so
I whipped out the revolver
and fired twice and the skunk
fired once," she explained.
"Consequently, I think you
should register the skunk
instead of the revolver."
Just then Josh Dvorchek
strutted up.
"What is that thing? Drain
pipe?" queried Garvey.
"No, it's a bazooka - an
anti-tank weapon my cousin
brought back from the war as
a souvenir," Josh explained.
"The only problem is that
ammunition is hard to come
by. Maybe I could get some
on Amazon. It sure would be
handy if terrorists come in

QUESTION? Can a
14-year-old suburban
California teenager entering
his sophomore year in high
school change the way the
world looks at Drayton
Northwood art Indians
cowboys history
plain folks North Dakota
and the world within
himself7.
Maybe not at 14, but if you
watch the 2:23 minute film-
story that he produced at 17
about a week's experience in
North Dakota and posted it
on YouTube, you may think
it is possible in social media
circles that outreach to the
world.
Check out the
visual stories on www.
DakotaHeritageInstitute.
cam that are the voice
threads of heritage in a
hometown community,
including Massimo's finding
peace on the prairie. (A
sample of a WWII Veteran's
story by Wally Ruud is also
shown, telling his witnessing
of the atomic cloud over
Japan from a gunship off the
coast.)
Perhaps, you'll agreed
that the power of a good
story impacts people, and
the use of media arts creates
opportunities for youth to
tell their story- wherever
they live or whatever their
culture - to participate in the
changing world of the global
village.
His story is about a week
of "fathers and sons" on
a "bonding road trip" in
search of authentic, grass-
root stories across the
prairies. The short film
describes the characters, but
the story is about Massimo,
son of Joe Lambert, founder
and director of the Center
for Digital Storytelling in
Berkeley. Joe's method
of storytelling has an
International presence in
dozens of countries. The
motto of the Center, which
originated the concept of
"Story Mapping," is "Change
the Story, Change the
World."
My 30-year-old vintage RV
that purred along on the back
trails left behind a stream of
stories, like a vapor trail in
the sky across the prairies.
These "trails" are new-age
digital stories that do not
fade from history because
the tales are preserved in
"cloud computing" and
are connected to the land
with map pins that serve
as navigation markers on a
landscape - it's called "Story
Mapping."
Massimo's story started
at the ND Museum of Art in
Grand Forks, when he gave at
age 14 a youth's perspective
of digital-age storytelling on
an intergenerational panel.
Now at 17, his word
pictures, coupled with
visual scenes of faces and
landscapes, recounts his
week's journey and the
meaning it held for him.
Some samples from
Massimo's voice in narration
to images follow: "North
Dakota's endless prairies
a different universe
people connected to their
homeland with invisible
strings crossing prairies
gave me time to think
with music in my ears I
was at peace impressed
by relaxed friendly cultures
in communities nothing
plain about the prairies or
the Peace Gardens and in
its conclusion "people find
peace on the prairies."
The last image in his film
reminded me of one of my
favorite Indian sayings: "A
father's role is to take his child
to the highestpoint, and show
the child the world." In ND
geographically, this can be a
literal challenge, especially
in the Red River Valley, but
a meaningful story can take
you there - virtually.
Today's "community" can
be a rural x4ilage or a "global
village" or both. The "village"
in Massimo's story came
from multiple contributors -
UND Center for Community
Engagement provided Joe's
airfare, Joe paid for his son's
ticket, I gifted my son Lars'
airfare and provided the
vintage RV, the ND Museum
of Art offered in-kind
services for facility space,
Northwood contributed to
costs of gas, Drayton paid
for food and motel expenses,
and other communities
along the route opened their
