The tribe traditionally gathered around the great gum tree to listen to their Ancestor speak words of wisdom. Over time, the people grew weary of this and abandoned the tradition to pursue their own pleasures.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
2. If a majestic old
oak could talk,
what would it tell
us about our
history? What does
it know, that we
have forgotten?
3. A Call to Unite
It was long after the
crickets had stopped
chirping, yet long
before the birds had
begun to sing. A long
line of canoes sliced
their way through dark,
murky water, silently
heading toward the
shore of the lake.
4. A Call to One
Nation Under God
… a still, small voice
whispered softly to him.
“Listen to the One who
made this tree. He will win
this land.”
5. A Call to Freedom
Shouts were heard
throughout the surrounding
fields and all through the
trees along the water’s
edge. All night long, a
runaway slave had raced
through the forest. He was
racing for his freedom.
6. The Call
Occasionally they
remember the sacrifices
and the still, small voice
that gave them the land.
They take pictures of the
tree, saying “What a
beautiful tree God made,”
and then go on about their
business.
Once a year, they
give thanks.
8. Who will win the
land, if no one
stops to listen?
9. Children in the 2nd
and 3rd grade levels

cover.
Adults love it also,
as they
remember…
