About Urban Raven
Urban Raven is now this blog. In 2007 it was a forum owned by Simon [*] at worldcrossing.com for the discussion of current events having to do with the Kanonhstaton land reclamation at Six Nations of the Grand River, reclamation of languages and culture by Indigenous peoples, and discussion and comments on news articles having to do with those topics.
It was probably the second forum with such topical discussions, I can't recall off-hand what was the name of the first one, but we did come up with the name Urban Raven; first because our perspective at that time was an urban one, second because of the screenname Simon was using there at the time, which was Simon~Raven.
While it had started off as a public forum, it was closed (made private) and many forum members moved elsewhere to venues more conducive to civil, public discussions, and less likely to give free reign to trolls and internet abusers. To explain that last statement, worldcrossing.com (which has been announced as due to close 15 Apr 2011) has an ignore and 'no access' feature accessible by forum owners; however, those features worked only by user's screenname, a user could not be banned by IP. Nor was there a 'log out' feature; in fact a user could use pretty much unlimited alternate screennames and easily switch from one to the other.

Return of Urban Raven
Kwe
Most of what's being posted in here has always been on the web, but in private archives.
But after at least three years of harrassment by Canadian racists and black p.r. directed towards Simon [*] and I, I really am fed up with it, so some of it is being returned to public view.
Also this is my policy in re my own writings, especially the CC licensed ones, which are my opinion which I have every right to express as I wish. If someone lies about something I've written and has it deleted, or uses that as an intimidation tactic to try to suppress my inherent rights of expression, it will be returned it to the web three times at least, in three new places, my writings will propagate and multiply themselves.
The original might be there only once, and if it's left alone and I don't remove it myself, fine. If it's removed and especially with a false, lying, slanderous complaint to some domain owner by someone else, when I return it to the web it will be returned in at least three, and possibly more, places, and probably along with the story about what kind of intimidation was used and has been used for years now to try to silence me.
Anyone who tries to censor what I have every right to say, and express as an opinion, has only shown to me how important my opinion might be. If it wasn't important at all, it would probably be ignored. So if it's so important as an opinion someone is willing to lie to have it removed, it indicates to me as a writer that I definitely want a larger reading audience to see it. ;)
