Manda Aufochs Gillespie/ Folk U - Secret societies were relatively common in the tribal world that Europeans encountered and documented, including the Northwest Coast. They embodied some of the most awe-inspiring events in the cultures of traditional societies with mystifying public displays of magic and occult powers. as well as profane powers. Masked spirits appeared and demonstrated their powers as well. The feasts held for initiates were the most important and lavish events for many families. Despite the fanfare, there was also a dark side to most tribal secret societies. Membership was restricted to the rich and powerful, and the main goal seems to have been to increase the power and wealth of members. Members were not adverse to enforcing their wishes on their communities using violence and killings. They extracted considerable material support in order to confer their supernatural benefits on communities and controlled political heads. In spite of these features, secret societies have been relatively neglected by recent anthropologists and archaeologists and do not feature in any of the major models of cultural evolution. Brian Hayden argues that they were, in fact, pivotal institutions in creating regional and more complex polities and religions leading up to the formation of early states and even world religions. He suggests hat they account for the striking emphasis on religion in early civilizations from the early painted caves of Europe 30,000 years ago, to the megalithic monuments like Stonehenge, the ziggurats of Sumer, and the pyramids of Egypt. Rather than early religions of the Neolithic being created to increase social solidarity and decrease social divisions as most archaeologists believe, Hayden argues that secret societies benefited exclusive elite members and increased social inequalities. This explains the small size and often remote location of the earliest religious structures. The secret was not that these organizations existed or who were members, the purported secret was how to exert power, both sacred and profane. And those secrets were closely guarded by the highest ranking members of the organizations.

Roy L Hales /Cortes Currents - The Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) supports the DFO’s decision to remove open net fish farms in the Discovery Islands.

The foundation first announced their position on May 9, 2018.

Scanning through some recent scientific papers, Cortes Currents found that Dr Bateman and other scientists from the Pacific Salmon Foundation co-author with scientists from the DFO’s Department of Molecular Genetics in Nanaimo, the University of Toronto’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and UBC’s Department of Medicine - to name a few institutions.

Dr Bateman was the lead author of a paper called Descriptive multi‐agent epidemiology via molecular screening on Atlantic salmon farms in the northeast Pacific Ocean, that was published in Nature last month.

This broadcast was taken out of a much longer interview which Cortes Currents has opted to broadcast in segments.
