Al Jazeera: It's nearly June. Every day, the Earth brings Darryl "Grey Eagle" Brown closer to the Sun, to heaven, to the Creator. That means it's nearly time for the Eagle Sun Dance ceremony, a 12-day communal gathering of fasting, thanksgiving and prayer that takes place around the summer solstice, when the Creator is especially near.

Guardian: Our planet is always on the move, but sometimes it is more restless than usual.
