P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

Greetings Politicians, Corporations & Governments,

AYA means "to go" or "to journey" in the Chickasaw language.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more. —Lord Byron

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

Thank you for existing under my unique sphere of influence. Expressed climate commitments drive competition in our emerging naturalist marketplace! Being “First out” allows our research and development firm to change Wall Street by simply showing up. Diversity is being admitted to the party - inclusion is being asked to dance. . . 

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

Certified Naturalist Corps recognizes the 44th President in regards to The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement to assess the collective progress towards achieving the purpose of this Agreement and its long-term goals.

PARIS AGREEMENT - Article 12

Parties shall cooperate in taking measures, as appropriate, to enhance climate change education, training, public awareness, public participation and public access to information, recognizing the importance of these steps with respect to enhancing actions under this Agreement.

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

The state of scientific knowledge is a fast-paced, evolving industry. In response to this paradox, our Chrysalis Practice © inculcates a love of the outdoors through triage, clubhouse and apprenticeship opportunities. Innovative firms (structured like ours) also navigate working with local, state, and federal government agencies. Medical institutions, public education and human service agencies  are still recovering from the ramifications of a prolonged war; global pandemic, and onslaughts of unprecedented “Extreme weather” conditions. It was hit hardest in 2019 when the global shutdown interrupted access to public spaces. Montessori teacher credential licensure programs were unable to migrate to the virtual learning space due to the physical nature of service!

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

Gladly, as Ecopsychology and outdoor recreation in tandem provide innovation. Our beloved field of study is showing signs of gaining momentum! Recent consensus data analysis helps stakeholders appreciate that nature-based learning is projected to grow per year for the next several years. 

The target audiences for The Butterfly Bus © are advocates/educators; doulas/midwives, registered nurses or doctoral programs with candidates who want to increase empathy and mitigate the impact of insecure attachment, caregiver separation anxiety, postpartum depression and early childhood trauma/maltreatment. Our corporation aims to provide a national standard - guidelines for certified naturalists.

The Butterfly Bus © specializes in establishing innovative pathways to progress without punishment for hard-to-reach children, youth, and young adults. Science plays a lead role in our corporation by clustering academic interest areas of science, art, and mathematics. Biological and geological aspects of our Chrysalis Practice © are explored through a pro-social learning lens. 

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

Action is requested to open doors of activity! The essence of our partnerships are to cultivate stewards for healthy ecosystems - within underserved rural communities. Our stakeholders appreciate collaborators who can support us in areas such as applied sciences, horticulture, permaculture and organic regenerative farming to ensure materials and presentations are well-informed and maintain an approachable brand. Currently, the only person in charge of sales is the general manager, President. Certified Naturalist © will look to add a Secretary to assist with account management/coordination. This individual will also provide company social media and online marketing support. The company seeks to increase awareness to our targeted customers through online advertising, proactive public relations campaigns, and attending conferences.

Your Faithful Envoy,

Sweetpea, Reseach Scientist

NATURE - Journalism

Art historians have found the golden ratio in the Mona Lisa, the Parthenon in ancient Athens, and the Great Pyramid of Giza.

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

DID YOU KNOW the “ Golden Ratio” is a mathematical ratio? It is commonly found in nature, and when used in a design, it fosters organic and natural-looking compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Non-toxic programming for all audiences, with an emphasis on (informed) storytelling, works to develop society morally by safeguarding our empathy tool for stewardship. 

The Butterfly Bus © compassion tour boldly represents an emerging Green Wall Street. Nature Pedagogy may adapt to fit any sector of business seeking progress without punishment. Consider environmental advocates as creatives - an illustrator, engineer, photographer/videographer as a researcher able to study processes, design, and critical behaviors found in the natural world. Our film cooperative views influencers, government agencies, and organizations on the same narrow road as a family, not our competitors. We promise to establish AND safeguard space for highlighting the benefits of a cosmic education.

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

Science & Technology

Our focus is to cultivate sound moral reasoning and positive character development.

We notice the current initiatives do not provide a national standard - guidelines for midwives and doulas. In an effort to support family planning our cohort advocates for ecotourism. We hope to encourage marsupial parents and children within biodiversity hotspots. Thus proposed data-driven delivery methodologies are featured on a progressive platform. Specifically, we specialize in enrichment programs offering preliminary/practical life exercises and care for the environment. The objective is to deliver an outdoor oasis for industry to pause, reflect AND lean into these critical needs. 

What you may have missed this Season! Thank you Dr. Cummins for ally support.

Montessori headmasters are Practitioners ready, willing and able to offer student-lead outdoor exploration. Often emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics tends to be delivered at the expense of other content standards. . . Periodically, we specialize in mitigation adaptation and the means of implementation and support, and in the light of equity and the best available science to governments, corporations or veterans who acknowledge the fourteenth article of the Paris Agreement. Stakeholders that may be bogged down by the peace treaty’s biological processes, bureaucracy, or with little principled leadership experience. To capitalize on opportunities that are geographically close as we start and grow our business, The Butterfly Bus © compassion tour will specifically target underserved rural communities along the Southern Gulf Coast with vested interest in ecotourism, agribusiness, green-fuel; ecopsychology and hospitality industries. This will allow us to take advantage of the company’s close proximity to biodiversity hotspots (one of the largest United States ecotourism regions).

BIOBLITZ - Hunt & Find

The Butterfly Bus © encourages tribal perspectives for the purpose of simultaneously exploring, managing AND preserving our natural world. We realize the importance of protecting and propagating significant hotspots, forests, wetlands, beaches, rivers, and other habitats with its associated biodiversity - in a conserved state for workforce development, rehabilitation and reasonable consumption.

The Muskogean family consists of six languages that are still spoken: Alabama, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek-Seminole, Koasati, and Mikasuki. 

Project: Chickasaw Hunt & Find on iNaturalist.org

Wild Food-Chain Supply, BioBlitz, Ethnobotany

Explore Chickasaw culinary arts and gourmet cuisine when preparing, cooking, plating, presenting, and serving. 1st Nation hospitality and ecotourism encourages the sustainable celebration of the diverse nature of food and beverage. Post Colonial Chickasaw are farmers, fishers, and hunter-gatherers who undertook long excursions throughout the Mississippi Valley region. Chickasaw hunt wild turkeys, and fish obtained on long hunting excursions along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The “Three Sisters” represents quintessential crops of beans, corn, and squash to sustain family clans.

Children often desire to help with food preparation to engage their caretaker. Food is known to stimulate language. Learning the names of edible plant parts enriches mealtime. Language groups may share recipes and offer instructions to cluster writing, math and science with fine culinary art & social studies. Pre-transatlantic slave trade, Chickasaw peoples historically ate meats like black bears, whitetail deer, and jack-rabbit. The cuisine is fortified with various nuts, fruits, and herbs. Ancient tribes did not practice sedentary agriculture and relied on land management techniques for attracting game and harvesting wild plants like hickory nuts. Some produce is prepared and eaten fresh, most are dried and saved for use throughout the year in raised storage units called corn cribs. Due to contemporary ramifications of gentrification, Chickasaw's diet now includes pork, peaches, apricots, blackberries, wild cherries, melons, watermelon, apples, grapes, and wheat.

Publication: Our-Nation - Culture/Society: Native Plant Booklet

Chickasaw Nation - Representative(s):

  • Ira, Horticulture Department: March 30th inquiry per taxonomy conflict.
  • March 31st conversation with Rhonda, Director of Horticulture - Chickasaw Cultural Center. Findings including the Dewberry and BlackBerry are both culturally significant. [Taxonomy] Error on page 13. Dewberry was of cultural significance per the original Mississippi territory - before gentrification and genocide. Non-native and/or invasive blackberry varieties were introduced on the eastern seaboard spreading west towards the Pacific Ocean. 

  1. “Culturally Significant Plants of the Chickasaw Homeland” (page 13) Blackberry is listed as - Rubus trivialis which is in fact the classification for “Dewberry” or “Southern Dewberry” variety.

  1. www.inaturalist.org requires more specific classifications for the handful of regional “Blackberry” populations. 

Cultural Anthropology (clarification): Are raspberries, dewberries, and/or the ”southern dewberry” culturally significant to the Chickasaw?

Sample Lesson Theme

  • Are any blackberry varieties native to the US? List of non-native blackberry kinds and their characteristics. 
  • What are the similarities and differences between the dewberry, raspberry, and blackberry - Rubus classification?

What we know . . . 

SPECIES ACCEPTED: Dewberry 

Rubus trivialis 

Posted in: Michx. (1803). In: Fl. Bor.-Amer. (Hook.) 1:296. 

Source: Synonymic Checklists of the Vascular Plants of the World

The Genus Rubus includes blackberry, dewberry, and raspberry and most members of the Genus share the traits of thorny or bristly stems and compound leaves. 

Rubus trivialis Michx, also known as Southern dewberry, is a native, evergreen perennial shrub in the Roseaceae family.

Native Plant Study

  • Q. Who, when and how was the Himalayan blackberry introduced to North America?
  • Q. Which classification of blackberry is specific to the Chickasaw diet post-concentration camp? A. Rubus subgenus TBA
  • Q. What classification is a dewberry? A. Rubus trivialis

Language, Writing & Fine Art: STEAM career clusters consist of art and architectural historians, cultural historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, cultural economists, sociologists, bibliographers, renewable material scientists and data scientists. Interdisciplinary professional associations should serve as incubators for Action Research where the generalists, educators, people leaders and pupils from all academic interest areas/industry discuss, explore and present a wealth of funds of ancient knowledge. Please remember to keep art supplies to later display artwork.

THE GOOD STEWARD

“ . . . the therapeutic value of making the work is the outcome.” —Rick Rubin

Healing trauma in the great outdoors!

Our Chrysalis Practice © is focused on recognizing military and law enforcement institutions concerning our green enterprise because government affiliates are vital to the nation's health, security, and global disease control. The nation's industrial complex may resolve relevant post pandemic issues in acceptance of native plants' role in maintaining health and in reducing the risk of diseases. Therefore, to be competitive, firms may intentionally offer to broaden participation in FemTech data collection. 

To provide vocational scaffolding, authentic outdoor experiences, and trauma-informed care to rural communities that will support healthy workforce development. Whereas military/law enforcement households may participate and engage in family resource training and education. Nature Pedagogy and Montessori education are recommended for framing community based participatory research (CBPR). Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) screening and depth psychology aims to prevent premature death and mentor individuals towards citizenship.

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

DID YOU KNOW our “New era” calls for integrated proposals to enlist PIs, co-PIs, postdoctoral fellows, students, and military personnel who are members of government agencies contracting with sustainable small businesses. Support of multi-institutional protocol may align to conserve our natural world with a youth-voiced climate commitment. Should the United States invest in ensuring the safety of student wards and former foster youth recovering from stresses including (but not limited to): unemployment, low socio-economic status, disability status, or immigration status? We know underrepresentation can vary by career stage and expertise and that there are additional considerations of intersectionality. 

Depending on the age that the trauma occurred there can be different impacts on brain development. Children and youth who have experienced trauma may have ongoing health issues into adulthood, difficulty trusting others, hypervigilant to seeing danger where others might not, and at higher risk for mental health issues such as depression.  As a society we are becoming more aware of the impact of trauma on individuals and communities and we are increasingly taking actions to understand it and to find ways to heal people.

Unbiased proposals must advance, direct and promote knowledge of the Montessori approach. The aforementioned, in effort to solve infant health/postpartum wellness conflicts - through both pilot projects AND broad collaborative academic programs. Please consider surpassing disciplinary boundaries in foundational and applied sciences. Offer high fidelity rehabilitation programs that support biodiversity in optimization of human health and well-being.

FemTech - Future of the Company

Wonder how to identify accessible funding pathways towards the Family Violence & Prevention Act and Vento-McKinney Homeless Assistance Act? 

Our collective offers a true startup to protect, serve and restore widows, orphans and ones with no helper. Certified Naturalist © is a Research and Development (R&D) firm. In response to planet Earth’s rapid global climate change, we define “Golden Naturalism” as environmental stewardship via Ecopsychology, Ecotourism, and Nature Pedagogy. 

P.C. Dr. Hays Cummins

Nihil de nobis, sine nobis - Nothing about us without us! Climate stewards wonder how “Scientific Advertising” (as defined by Claude C. Hopkins) impacts ethical consumer spending. Agency over identity formation may impact a sense of self. This is in direct opposition to deficit marketing schemes targeted at selling children, youth, and emerging adults products and services based on unethical buying influence. 

Reasons to offer support include reproductive health & wellness, eco psychology and ecotourism. 

We lead ours . . .
