We in Indian Country like to laugh at ourselves in a lighthearted way, so look out friends, as no topic is safe from these stick figure Indian characters.

Enjoy.

Johnston Gate, Cambridge - Harvard Square: Harvard University - was built in 1889 by McKim, Mead, and White. It is Harvard's earliest example of Colonial Revival architecture, a style which became the campus standard over the next century. Named for Samuel Johnston, Class of 1855, it was the the first gate around Harvard Yard. Built of salvaged bricks chosen for their varied texture and color, the structure also helped to popularize what has come to be known in the building trade as "Harvard water-struck brick," used on most Harvard buildings since that time. Johnston Gate bears two plaques inscribed with the earliest records of Harvard's founding, an inscription from "New England's First Fruits" (1643) and the records of the General Court of Massachusetts Bay establishing the College. Harvard University (officially The President and Fellows of Harvard College), a private Ivy League university, was established in 1636 by the colonial Massachusetts legislature. Harvard is the first corporation chartered in the United States and oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.

Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, began spewing ash and debris from its summit, prompting civil defense officials to warn residents on Monday to prepare in case the eruption causes lava to flow toward communities.
