According to Brenda Norrell of Censored News blogspot, eight of the nine members of the Nez Perce tribal executive council in northern Idaho were arrested this past week during a peaceful but boisterous effort to prevent mega tar sands processing equipment from moving across tribal land.
The tribal council decided on Sunday, August 4th, to attempt to prevent the transport of massive General Electric tar sands processing equipment on its way to Alberta.
"There were about two hundred protesters the first two nights," Cass Davis, a veteran of the Rising Tide movement in Idaho, told BuzzFlash at Truthout. Cass, who has been arrested in the past for climate change protests, confirmed that Silas Whitman, chair of the executive council, was among those taken into custody and later released.
According to a rare mainstream corporate media article covering the civil disobedience protest, Reuters provides some of the background:
Nez Perce Chairman Silas C. Whitman said in a statement that tribal leaders were against "the conversion of this wild and scenic area into a high and wide industrial corridor."
The load, which measures 255 feet long, 21 feet wide and 23 feet tall, is one of two planned shipments by an Oregon hauling company, Omega Morgan, of a water purification unit being trucked to Alberta production fields, according to an Idaho transportation permit issued on Friday.
The route along U.S. Highway 95 and U.S. 12 follows a historic trail broken by early Nez Perce bison hunters and used in the early 19th century by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on a government-sponsored expedition that charted the newly purchased American West.
Megaload opponents say the oversize trucks may impair the visual and ecological values of the trail and a river corridor that supports threatened steelhead and Chinook salmon and fuels a tourist economy tied to rafting, fishing, camping and hunting.
The Omega Morgan load, which will take four nights to cross Idaho into Montana, was approved by Idaho over the objections of environmentalists and despite U.S. Forest Service concerns.
The controversy involves two primary issues: the movement of massive trucking loads over tribal land (and also allegedly in violation of US Forest Service regulations). It also was a symbolic protest by indigenous Americans against the despoiling of their land by the natural resource extraction industries. This puts the Nez Perce nation in support of the Idle No More movement, which seeks to reclaim control over North American indigenous lands. Although the GE giant equipment is destined for the Alberta tar sands fields, Nez Perce is acting in solidarity in protesting frequent US and Canadian exploitation of tribal territories through pollution and despoiling of the environment.
Unfortunately, despite four nights of efforts, the convoy has now moved onto US Forest Service lands.
Greg Stahl, assistant policy director at Idaho Rivers United (a state conservation organization), told BuzzFlash at Truthout that now that the tar sands megaload is on US Forest Service land, Idaho Rivers United assisted the Nez Pearce Tribe office of legal counsel with filing a lawsuit Thursday night seeking an injunction against further movement of the tar sands equipment.
Idaho Rivers United released a news statement about the legal action late on August 8th:
Idaho Rivers United and the Nez Perce Tribe filed a joint lawsuit in federal court in Boise late this afternoon in order to stop the movement of megaloads along U.S. Highway 12 through tribal lands and the Clearwater-Lochsa Wild and Scenic River corridor.
The lawsuit charges that the U.S. Forest Service's failure to stop a megaload from entering the river corridor was "arbitrary, capricious, (and) an abuse of discretion." The Tribe and IRU are also seeking an injunction that would halt the megaload now in the river corridor and block transport of other megaloads until the federal agency completes a review of their impacts on the Nez Perce homeland and the federally protected Wild and Scenic River corridor.
"It's incomprehensible that the Forest Service didn't have the backbone to enforce its own rules," said IRU Executive Director Bill Sedivy. "They're sending a terrible message to anyone who would abuse rivers and forests, as well as important cultural and historic sites on our public lands."
Nez Perce Executive Committee Chairman Silas C. Whitman said the tribe had exhausted its avenues of diplomacy and outreach, but received no redress.
"The tribe is frustrated we have to take action in court to stop something that a court has previously ordered the Forest Service to actively regulate, but feel we have been left with no other option," Whitman said. "Our action of filing this legal proceeding as well as our active protests on the highway to this transport was precipitated by the agency's failure to do its job."
The lawsuit filing makes the charge (among other regulatory enforcement deficiencies by the US Forest Service):
By denying its authority to enforce its own directives and jurisdiction to regulate the transportation of mega-loads on U.S. Highway 12, the Forest Service is yet again "standing down," just as it did in Idaho Rivers United, and is allowing Omega Morgan to proceed unauthorized and uncontested with its mega-load through the Wild and Scenic River corridor and National Forest. The agency's arbitrary conduct irreparably and substantially harms the Tribe because the Tribe was and continues to be deprived of the opportunity to consult with its federal trustee concerning the mega-load's impacts to its rights and interests in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest. Specifically under NFMA and its implementing regulations, as reflected in the Clearwater Forest Plan, the agency must ensure that its actions are not detrimental to the protection and preservation of the Tribe's religious and cultural sites and practices and access to treaty-reserved rights in the National Forest. This requirement, in conjunction with the Forest Service's responsibilities under Executive Order 13175 and Department of Agriculture policies on coordination consultation with Indian tribes, does not permit the agency to waive its consultation responsibilities when it is inconvenient or politically challenging to effectuate them.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech at the end of this month, it is worth noting that almost the entire executive committee of the Nez Perce tribal community took to heart MLK's advocacy of civil disobedience.
During four days of dauntless and strategic blockades -- and now in a lawsuit filed against a bureau of the US government -- the Nez Perce nation has been taking a stand for preserving the pristine lands, their lands, from being violated and despoiled.
There should be less speechifying about Dr. King from the White House and more honoring of those who engage in MLK's moral crusade rather than supporting policies that necessitate civil disobedience.
After all, this entire nation belonged to indigenous Americans before it was "conquered" by those of European descent. They know well the destruction of home, land and planet that "civilization" and industrialization without limits can cause.

- tilter electric vehicleEco-friendly city dwellers are always searching for the perfect mode of transportation that is safe, fast, small, and efficient. French entrepreneur Eric Prose and his green manufacturing company, SynergEthic may have found the solution with an amazing new electric vehicle called the Tilter. Part motorcycle, part covered car, this all-electric zero-emission three-wheeler will certainly turn heads as it rolls down the rues of Paris.1
- tilter electric vehicleUnder its neon colored encasement the Tilter boasts tons of features similar to a motorbike.2
- tilter electric vehicleThe seats are arranged in a single line and they tilt along with the vehicle around sharp turns. Foot brakes are joined by paddle brakes on the steering wheel to optimize safety. The Tilter's compact design also allows it to be stored, parked, and locked like a bike.3
- tilter electric vehicleThough Tilters can zip through the streets like a motorcycle, the vehicle is still surprisingly spacious and safe like a car. The steel body features a sliding track door that opens and shuts with a lightweight handle. The front seat folds down to allow the back passenger to enter, while the rear seat can be folded or removed to accommodate more storage space.4
- tilter electric vehicleTopping out at a speed of 68 miles per hour and traveling from 0 to 60 in 13 seconds, the Tilter can go just about anywhere. A fully-charged  battery lasts for nearly 80 miles, so drivers can even a bit of distance riding. The boldly-colored cabin makes the Tilter stand out while protecting the driver from traffic and the elements.5
- tilter electric vehicleThe Tilter's unique design is matched with custom technology that allows the vehicle to easily maneuver throughout city streets. Ten sensors surround the the body and pick up wind, road, and traffic conditions, automatically adapting the vehicle's traction and response times. The electric air conditioning system detects outdoor temperatures and constantly keeps the vehicle's interior 15 degrees higher than the outside in winter months and 10 degrees cooler in the summer.6
- tilter electric vehiclePlans are also in the works for a smartphone dock to be placed in the dashboard so that drivers to use apps specifically designed for the Tilter. The Tilter is planned for mass production in 2012, so certainly hope to see a few of these zipping around soon.7

Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes
Low Water: While it is our intention to follow the itinerary as advertised, some modifications to the itinerary are occasionally needed to reach Siem Reap while water levels are very low (March – August). The Toum Tiou II was built with a steel hull and sleek low draft, so occasions like this are rare.
If changes need to be made, they may involve docking the boat just before Siem Reap and using overland transportation to reach the final destination.
Riverboat Payment Method: Only cash is accepted for payment aboard the riverboat. There are several locations along the riverboat route with ATMs that dispense USD or VND.
Group Size Notes
Max 28
Meals Included
9 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 6 dinners

Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.

Visas and Entry Requirements
Please note that visas for Vietnam and Cambodia are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. For the most up to date information please check your Governments Foreign Ministry website or with you travel agent as rules do change. It is important that you check for yourself. For most travellers there will probably be an Embassy or Consulate in the country that you live in.
CAMBODIA – Visas can be obtained in advance from your local Embassy. You can also obtain your visa at the Cambodian border for approx. $30 USD very easily. You will will need two passport sized photos.
*Please have extra USD on hand in case the customs officials charge more at the border crossing.
VIETNAM – If you require a visa for Vietnam, they need to be arranged ahead of time (BEFORE your trip) as the processing time varies and they are not available upon arrival. Please note that an E-visa can not be processed if entering Vietnam at a land border, as we do on this trip.
Some nationalities don't require a Visa for Vietnam for shorter stays – please contact your Foreign Ministry for up to date entry/exit requirements.
Detailed Trip Notes

Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
In Asia, it is customary to tip service providers, such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is expected – though not compulsory – and expresses satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. If you have a local guide or a driver on your tour, tipping $2-5 USD (in local currency) per person, per service is recommended. If someone helps you carry a bag, you can offer to tip a few USD (in local currency) if you feel it is deserved. Ask your CEO for specific advice if you are unsure.
If at the end of the riverboat sailing you find the staff on board were exceptional, a tip of $5-10 USD per day is recommended. You can leave this tip at the end of the riverboat portion of your tour.
At the end of each tour if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however, as a guideline $20-30 USD per person, per week can be used.
Optional Activities
Approximate costs (per person) for popular optional activities taken in free time are:
Cyclo tour (Ho Chi Minh City)- USD10
War Crimes museum (Ho Chi Minh City)- USD1
The Reunification Palace (Ho Chi Minh City) – USD2
Saigon Water Park (Ho Chi Minh City) – USD4
All prices are per person (unless stated otherwise), and are subject to change as services are provided by third party operators.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.
Planeterra-The G Adventures Foundation
The Planeterra Foundation planeterra.org is a Canadian non-profit organization that helps empower local people to develop their communities, conserve their cultures, and create humane and supportive systems for their endeavours. Planeterra provides capacity building and catalyst grants to get community social enterprises off the ground. These businesses address local challenges by providing benefits for indigenous people, empowering marginalized women, and granting disadvantaged youth access to education, employment, and brighter futures. Planeterra also works to ensure these businesses have a thriving customer base by integrating programs into G Adventures' itineraries globally.
G Adventures is Planeterra's largest corporate donor, covering all operating costs so 100% of your donation will bring opportunity to people in need.
Dollar-a-Day Program
G Adventures' Dollar-a-Day Program provides travellers with the opportunity to give back to the people and places visited on our tours by donating one dollar for every day you are on trip. 100% of these donations go directly to support community development projects worldwide that are implemented by Planeterra.
Local Dress
In Asia the dress standard is more conservative than it is back home. When packing try to pick loose, lightweight, long clothing that will keep you cool in the usually hot and humid climate of Asian summers. In predominately Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim countries we ask that you dress respectfully and avoid very short shorts/skirts and singlets/tanktops when visiting temples or mosques or other holy sites.

Spring Essentials
Horseradish is a perennial in USDA zones 3–9. After the first frost in autumn kills the leaves, the root is dug and divided. The main root is harvested and one or more large offshoots of the main root are replanted to produce next year's crop. Horseradish left undisturbed in the garden spreads via underground shoots and can become invasive. Horseradish grows very well in a container of at least 15 gallons.
