I am thinking about my Native America project. It celebrates indigenous technology and art, which has historically been looked down on and dismissed, but is quite ingenious, special and sacred. All this stuff we create, is OUR indigenous art and technology. Comparing it to commercial stuff that isn't even supposed to be here, is not a fair comparison.

This needs a special group to honor the sacred items it is def not crap, we need an Opensim Museum of Native arts.

Yes now I see what you mean, we are very much like that. The pioneers of opensim came with nothing. I had notes of permissions to use SL items, that had 20 or more SL creators who gave me permission but it cost on some license 15k what I could not bring in licensed I made from scratch my favorite piece was a qtip for my medical center. I have made so many simple but cool things.

I have accepted as a fact of life, that there is stuff from SL here. But things made here are special because love is put into it. I am learning to make RL wampum (shell) jewelry in RL. You can bang out wampum pieces with mass-produced, dyed glass beads in no time. But a REAL wampum bead from a shell .. every one is unique, special and has it's own life. It actualy CAME FROM LIFE! So obviously, if you receive a necklace made from glass beads. It is a $20 Amazon thing, one made by hand, with love, and tells a story, and is a thing beyond price. So that is a comparison I will make of SL things, and opensim made things. The things we make, even if others think it is "crap" or ugly, or whatever. It is something with life, that you put your love into. It is priceless and sacred.
