I feel very much a materialist — not in the abstract sense of cars and credit accounts, but in the feeling of the infinite variety of the great spirit’s manifestations in the material world . . . Good old solid pantheism — a much discredited word. Tantra pantheism. No more for me all that abstract, intangible spiritual talk. Let me scratch my dog’s ears and worship. Empty the garbage and worship. Sip a beer in prayer to the hops god. Smoke a joint in honor of the god of plants. Hedonistic pantheism. Jalapeno pepper chant. Belch. Fart.”

He has a book coming out in August from Everett House called Blood of the Land, about the traditional American Indian movements and their battles with the U.S. government.
