Native Writings For Your Enjoyment



Elder's Meditation of the Day

 "People and nations who understand the Natural Law are self-governing, following the principles of love and respect that insure freedom and peace."
  Traditional Circle of Elders, NAVAJO-HOPI Joint Use Area


 The Natural Laws work hand-in-hand with the circle. Each part of a circle will look to the center and will see something different. For example, if you put an irregular shaped object in the center of a circle and you have people standing in a circle around the object, each one will describe it differently. Everyone in the circle will be right. Only by honoring and respecting everyone's input, can the truth about the object be revealed. We need to learn to honor differences.
 My Creator, let me honor all differences.
 Don Coyhis




Elder's Meditation of the Day

 "It's the most precious thing...to know absolutely where you belong. There's a whole emotional wrapping-around-of-you here. You see the same rock, tree, road, clouds, sun -- you develop a nice kind of intimacy with the world around you. To be intimate is to grow, to learn...it is absolutely fulfilling. Intimacy, that's my magic word for why I live here."
 --Tessie Maranjo, SANTA CLARA PUEBLO


 Every human being, to be mentally healthy, must have the feeling of belonging. When we have a sense of belonging we can be intimate. We can feel. We can connect. If we cannot develop this feeling of belonging, then we will feel lost of disconnected. To be disconnected from life is like walking around during the day not knowing the Sun exists. To have the feelings of intimacy is warm, glowy, joyful, loving, and connected. The feeling this Elder is talking about is available to everyone.
 Great Spirit, let me be intimate.
Don Coyhis



Children Are The Future 
Children are gifts of the Creator and of ourselves. By raising them to the best of our ability, we are reciprocating that gift and showing our thankfulness for life and for the blessings of the Great Spirit. This requires much time, love, forgiveness, and understanding on the part of the parents and grandparents-- but the rewards for the child (and for the community as a whole) are immeasurable.
 
Also, it is not enough to raise your own children and grandchildren. You should bestow what you can to all
 children of the earth.
 

It is strictly believed and understood by the Sioux that a child is the greatest gift from Wakan Tanka in response to
 many devout prayers, sacrifices, and promises. Therefore the child is consid-ered "sent by Wakan Tanka" through some element--namely the element of human nature.
 -ROBERT HIGHEAGLE TETON SIOUX, EARLY 20TH CENTURY



Elder's Meditation of the Day

 "Language is a vehicle for carrying spirit, life, and family. Language, religion, and land base are three things that characterize culture."
 Edmund Ladd, ZUNI PUEBLO


 The Elders say we need to know the answers to three questions in order for us to be connected; the Earth, the Sky, the East, the West, the South, and the North.

The three questions are:

1. Why are we?

2. Who are we?

3. Where are we going?

If we know the language, if we have our spirituality, and if we can pray on sacred spots, then we are able to seek the answer to the questions.

We must protect the language, religion, and land so our future generations can stay connected.

 Great Spirit, help us maintain our language, spirit, family, religion and our Mother Earth.

Buffalo and Eagle Wing

 A long time ago there were no stones on the earth. The mountains, hills, and valleys were not rough, and it was easy to walk on the ground swiftly. There were no small trees at that time either. All the bushes and trees were tall and straight and were at equal distances. So a man could travel through a
 forest without having to make a path.

 
At that time, a large buffalo roamed over the land. From the water, he had obtained his spirit power--the power to change anything into some other form. He would have that power as long as he only drank from a certain pool.
 

In his wanderings, Buffalo often traveled across a high mountain. He liked this mountain so much that one day he asked it, "Would you like to be changed into something else?"
 "Yes," replied the mountain. "I would like to be changed into something nobody would want to climb over."
 
"All right," said Buffalo. "I will change you into something hard that I will call 'stone.' You will be so hard that no one will want to break you and so smooth that no one will want to climb you."
 
So Buffalo changed the mountain into a large stone. "And I give you the power to change yourself into anything else as long as you do not break yourself."
 
Only buffaloes lived in this part of the land. No people lived here. On the other side of the mountain lived men who were cruel and killed animals. The  buffaloes knew about them and stayed as far away from them as possible.

But one day Buffalo thought he would like to see these men. He hoped to make friends with them and persuade them not to kill buffaloes.
 
So he went over the mountain and traveled along a stream until he came to  lodge. There lived an old woman and her grandson.

The little boy liked Buffalo, and Buffalo liked the little boy and his grandmother. He said to them, "I have the power to change you into any form you wish. What would you like most to be?"
 
"I want always to be with my grandson. I want to be changed into anything that will make it possible for me to be with him, wherever he goes."
 
"I will take you to the home of the buffaloes," said their guest. "I will ask them to teach the boy to become a swift runner. I will ask the water to change the grandmother into something, so that you two can always be together."
 
So Buffalo, the grandmother, and the little boy went over the mountain to the land of the buffalo.
 
"We will teach you to run swiftly," they told the boy, "if you will promise to keep your people from hunting and killing buffalo."
 "I promise," said the boy.

 The buffaloes taught him to run so fast that not one of them could keep up with him. The old grandmother could follow him wherever he went, for she had been changed into Wind.
 
The boy stayed with the buffaloes until he became a man. Then they let him go back to his people, reminding him of his promise. Because he was such a swift runner, he became a leader of the hunters. They called him Eagle Wing.
 

One day the chief called Eagle Wing to him and said to him, "My son, I want you to take the hunters to the buffalo country.
We have never been able to kill buffaloes because they run so very fast. But you too can run fast. If you will kill some buffaloes and bring home the meat and the skins, I will
 adopt you as my son. And when I die, you will become chief of the tribe."
 

Eagle Wing wanted so much to become chief that he pushed from his mind his promise to the buffaloes. He started out with the hunters, but he climbed the mountain so fast that they were soon left far behind. On the other side of the mountain, he saw a herd of buffaloes. They started to run in fright, but Eagle Wing followed them and killed most of them.
 
Buffalo, the great one who got his power from the water, was away from home at the time of the hunt. On his way back he grew so thirsty that he drank from some water on the other side of the mountain not from his special pool.
 

When he reached home and saw what the hunter had done, he became very angry.
 He tried to turn the men into grass, but he could not. Because he had drunk from another pool, he had lost his power to transform.
 
Buffalo went to the big stone that had once been a mountain.
 "What can you do to punish the hunter for what he has done?" he asked Stone.
 "I will ask the trees to tangle themselves so that it will be difficult for men to travel through them," answered Stone. "I will break myself into many pieces and scatter myself all over the land. Then the swift runner and his followers cannot run over me without hurting their feet."
 "That will punish them," agreed Buffalo.
 
So Stone broke itself into many pieces and scattered itself all over the land. Whenever the swift runner, Eagle Wing, and his followers tried to run over the mountain, stones cut their feet.

Bushes scratched and bruised their bodies.
 
That is how Eagle Wing was punished for not keeping his promise to Buffalo.



Elder's Meditation of the Day

 "Abuse and repression have no place in a traditional family."
  Haida Gwaii, Traditional Circle of Elders


 Traditional families guided by their culture were taught how to live. The were taught about relationships, respect, and spirituality. Only since alcohol was introduced to Indians have we seen physical abuse, sexual abuse and verbal abuse.

These behaviors have no room in traditional families. The cycle of abuse must be broken during this generation. We do this by asking for help to quit drinking and abusing and return to our traditional culture and spirituality.

 Creator, plant inside of me the knowledge of the traditional family.

Elder's Meditation of the Day

 "You could study the ancestors, but without a deep feeling of communication with them it would be surface learning and surface talking. Once you have gone into yourself and have learned very deeply, appreciate it, and relate to it very well, everything will come very easily."
 -- Ellen White, NANAIMO


 Inside of every human being are our ancestors, and these ancestors still live. Today, the white man calls this DNA, but there is more than DNA. We have the ability to go inside of ourselves and learn from the ancestors. The ancestor teachings reside in the place of the center. The ancestors are waiting for us to come there so they can share the ancient teachings. It is said, "Be still and know".
 Great Spirit, let me walk in the stillness.

Chief Dan Evehema's Message to Mankind


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



I am very glad to have this time to send a message to you. We are celebrating a time in our history which is both filled with joy and sadness.

I am very glad that our Hindu brothers have given us this opportunity to share these feelings with you because we know many of you are having the same troubles.
 
We Hopi believe that the human race has passed through three different worlds and life ways since the beginning.  At the end of each prior world, human life has been purified or punished by the Great Spirit "Massauu" due mainly to corruption, greed and turning away from the Great Spirit's teachings.  

The last great destruction was the flood which destroyed all but a few faithful ones who asked and received a permission from the Great Spirit to live with Him in this new land.

The Great Spirit said, "It is up to you, if you are willing to live my poor, humble and simple life way. It is hard but if you agree to live according to my teachings and instructions, if you never lose faith in the life I shall give you, you may come and live with me."

The Hopi and all who were saved from the great flood made a sacred covenant with the Great Spirit at that time. We Hopi made an oath that we will never turn away from Him.

For us the Creators laws never change or break down. To the Hopi the Great Spirit is all powerful. He appeared to the first people as a man and talked with them in the beginning of this creation world.

He taught us how to live, to worship, where to go and what food to carry, gave us seeds to plant and harvest. He gave us a set of sacred stone tablets into which He breathed all teachings in order to safeguard his land and life.  

In these stone tablets were made, instructions and prophecies and warnings. This was done with the help of a Spider woman and Her two grandsons.

They were wise and powerful helpers of the Great Spirit. Before the Great Spirit went into hiding, He and Spider woman put before the leaders of the different groups of people many colors and sized of corn for them to choose their food in this world.  

The Hopi was the last to pick and then choose their food in this world. The Hopi then choose the smallest ear of corn.  

Then Massauu said, "You have shown me you are wise and humble for this reason you will be called Hopi (people of peace) and I will place in your authority all land and life to guard, protect and hold trust for Me until I return to you in later days for I am the First and the Last."

This why when a Hopi is ordained into the higher religious order, the earth and all living things are placed upon his hands.  He becomes a parent to all life on earth.

He is entitled to advise and correct his children in whatever peaceful way he can. So we can never give up knowing that our message of peace will reach our children.

Then it is together with the other spiritual leaders the destiny of our future children is placed. We are instructed to hold this world in balance within the land and the many universes with special prayers and ritual which continue to this day.

It was to the Spider woman's two grandsons the sacred stone tablets were given. These two brothers were then instructed to carry them to a place the Great Spirit had instructed them.

The older brother was to go immediately to the east, to the rising sun and upon reaching his destination was instructed to immediately start to look for his younger brother who shall remain in the land of the Great Spirit.

The Older brothers mission when he returned was to help his younger brother (Hopi) bring obout peace, brotherhood and everlasting life on his return. Hopi, the younger brother, was instructed to cover all land and mark it well with footprints and sacred markings to claim this land for the Creator and peace on earth.

We established our ceremonials and sacred shrines to hold this world in balance in accordance with our first promise to the Creator. This is how our migration story goes, until we meet the Creator at Old Oribe (place that solidifies) over 1000 years ago.

It was at that meeting when he gave to us these prophecies to give to you now at this closing of the Fourth World of destruction and the beginning of the Fifth World of peace.  

He gave us many prophecies to pass on to you and all have come to pass. This is how we know the timing is now to reveal the last warnings and instructions to mankind. 

We were told to settle permanently here in Hopi land where we met the Great Spirit and wait for Older Brother who went east to return to us.

 When he returns to this land he will place his stone tablets side by side to show all the world that they are our true brothers.  When the road in the sky has been fulfilled and when the inventing of something, in Hopi means, gourd of ashes, a gourd that when drops upon the earth will boil everything within a large space and nothing will grow for a very long time.  

When the leaders turned to evil ways instead of the Great Spirit we were told there would be many ways this life may be destroyed. If human kind does not heed our prophecy and return to ones original spiritual instructions.

We were told of three helpers who were commissioned by the Great Spirit to help Hopi bring about the peaceful life on earth would appear to help us and we should not change our homes, our ceremonials, our hair, because the true helpers might not recognize us as the true Hopi.

So we have been waiting all these years. It is known that our True White Brother, when he comes, will be all powerful and will wear a red cap or red cloak.

He will be large in population, belong to no religion but his very own. He will bring with him the sacred stone tablets.  With him there will be two great ones both very wise and powerful.

One will have a symbol or sign of swastika which represents purity and is Female, a producer of life.  The third one or the second one of the two helpers to our True White Brother will have a sign of a symbol of the sun.

He, too, will be many people and very wise and powerful. We have in our sacred Kachina ceremonies a gourd rattle which is still in use today with these symbols of these powerful helpers of our True Brother.

It is also prophesied that if these three fail to fulfill their mission then the one from the west will come like a big storm. He will be many, in numbers and unmerciful. When he comes he will cover the land like the red ants and over take this land in one day.

If the three helpers chosen by the Creator fulfill their sacred mission and even if there are only one, two or three of the true Hopi remaining holding fast to the last ancient teaching and instructions the Great Spirit, Massauu will appear before all and our would will be saved.

The three will lay our a new life plan which leads to everlasting life and peace. The earth will become new as it was from the beginning. Flowers will bloom again, wild games will return to barren lands and there will be abundance of food for all.

Those who are saved will share everything equally and they all will recognize Great Spirit and speak one language. We are now faced with great problems, not only here but throughout the land. Ancient cultures are being annihilated.

Our people's lands are being taken from them, leaving them no place to call their own. Why is this happening?  It is happening because many have given up or manipulated their original spiritual teachings.

The way of life which the Great Spirit has given to all its people of the world, whatever your original instructions are not being honored.  It is because of this great sickness-called greed, which infects every land and country that simple people are losing what they have kept for thousands of years.

Now we are at the very end of our trail. Many people no longer recognize the true path of the Great Spirit. They have, in fact, no respect for the Great Spirit or for our precious Mother Earth, who gives us all life.

We are instructed in our ancient prophecy that this would occur. We were told that someone would try to go up to the moon: that they would bring something back from the moon; and that after that, nature would show signs of losing its balance. Now we see that coming about.

All over the world there are now many signs that nature is no longer in balance. Floods, drought, earthquakes, and great storms are occurring and causing much suffering.

We do not want this to occur in our country and we pray to the Great Spirit to save us from such things. But there are now signs that this very same thing might happen very soon on our own land. Now we must look upon each other as brothers and sisters. There is no more time for divisions between people.

Today I call upon all of us, from right here at home, Hotevilla, where we to are guilty of gossiping and causing divisions even among our own families; out to the entire world where thievery, war and lying goes on every day.

These divisions will not be our salvation. Wars only bring more wars never peace. Only by joining together in a Spiritual Peace with love in our hearts for one another, love in our hearts for the Great Spirit and Mother Earth, shall we be saved from the terrible Purification Day which is just ahead.

There are many of you in this world who are honest people. We know you spiritually for we are the "Men's Society Grandfathers" who have been charged to pray for you and all life on earth never forgetting anything or any one in our ceremonials.

Our prayer is to have a good happy life, plenty of soft gentle rain for abundant crops. We pray for balance on earth to live in peace and leave a beautiful world to the children yet to come. We know you have good hearts but good hearts are not enough to help us out with these great problems.

In the past some of you have tried to help us Hopis, and we will always be thankful for you efforts. But now we need your help in the worst way. We want the people of the world to know the truth of our situation.

This land which people call the Land of the Freedom celebrates many days reminding people of the world of these things. Yet in well over 200 years the original Americans have not seen a free day.  We are suffering the final insult. Our people are now losing the one thing which give life and meaning of life--our ceremonial land, which is being taken away from us.

Hotevilla is the last holy consecrated, undisturbed traditional Native American sacred shrine to the Creator.  As the prophecy says, this sacred shrine must keep its spiritual pathways open.

This village is the spiritual vortex for the Hopi to guide the many awakening Native Americans and other true hearts home to their own unique culture.  Hotevilla was established by the last remaining spiritual elders to maintain peace and balance on this continent from the tip of South America up to Alaska.

Many of our friends say Hotevilla is a sacred shrine, a national and world treasure and must be preserved. We need your help. Where is the freedom which you all fight for and sacrifice your children for?

Is it only the Indian people who have lost or are all Americans losing the very thing which you original came here to find?  We don't share the freedom of the press because what gets into the papers is what the government wants people to believe, not what is really happening.

We have no freedom of speech, because we are persecuted by our own people for speaking our beliefs. We are at the final stages now and there is a last force that is about to take away our remaining homeland.

We are still being denied many things including the rite to be Hopis and to make our living in accordance with our religious teachings.  The Hopi leaders have warned leaders in the White House and the leaders in the Glass House but they do not listen.

So as our prophecy says then it must be up to the people with good pure hearts that will not be afraid to help us to fulfill our destiny in peace for this world.

We now stand at a cross road whether to lead ourselves in everlasting life or total destruction. We believe that human beings spiritual power through prayer is so strong it decides life on earth.So many people have come to Hopiland to meet with us. Some of you we have met on your lands.

Many times people have asked how they can help us. Now I hope and pray that your help will come.  If you have a way to spread the truth, through the newspapers, radio, books, thought meeting with powerful people, tell the truth!

Tell them what you know to be true. Tell them what you have seen here; what you have heard us say; what you have seen with your own eyes.  In this way, if we do fall, let it be said that we tried, right up to the end, to hold fast to the path of peace as we were originally instructed to do by the Great Spirit.

Should you really succeed, we will all realize our mistakes of the past and return to the true path-living in harmony as brothers and sisters, sharing our mother, the earth with all other living creatures.  In this way we could bring about a new world.

A world which would be led by the great Spirit and our mother will provide plenty and happiness for all. God bless you, each one of you and know our prayers for peace meet yours as the sun rises and sets.

May the Great Spirit guide you safely into the path of love, peace freedom and God on this Earth Mother.  May the holy ancestors of love and light keep you safe in your land and homes.

Pray for God to give you something important to do in this great work which lies ahead of us all to bring peace on earth.  We the Hopi still hold the sacred stone tablets and now await the coming of our True White Brother and others seriously ready to work for the Creator's peace on earth.

Be well, my children, and think good thoughts of peace and togetherness. Peace for all life on earth and peace with one another in our homes, families and countries. We are not so different in the Creator's eyes.  

The same great Father Sun shines his love on each of us daily just as Mother Earth prepares the sustance for our table, do they not? We are one after all.

Chief Dan Evehema, (105) Spiritual leader, Eldest Elder Greeswood / Roadrunner Clan Society Father / Snake Priest / Kachina Father.

Is "squaw" an obscene insult?



  Dear Cecil: 
 
Here in Maine, the state legislature is taking up a bill to ban the use of the word squaw in place names. Native Americans contend that it is a vulgarity, meaning prostitute or c*** rather than woman. Was this a general word that was used in many languages, or was it specific to one or two?
 
Are there any old Native American songs or poems that might use this word in a more ordinary sense, revealing that it is not as degrading as they might contend, or is it absent from N.A. literature, indicating that it is indeed vulgar? If it is found in the literature, are other "vulgar" words used as well?
 
Let's cut the pretense of scholarship, Paul. What you really want to know is, DOES SQUAW MEAN C***, OR WHAT?
 
Answer: No. I'm not saying it's not an insult. It's just not an obscene insult.
 
The idea that squaw means vagina (to use the polite term) first found its way into print in a polemical 1973 book, Literature of the American Indian, by Thomas E. Sanders and Walter W. Peek. Sanders and Peek, without offering evidence, advanced the theory that squaw derived from the Mohawk word ojiskwa' (sources vary on spelling), meaning vagina.
 
This notion appealed to a certain mind-set and was circulated widely in the activist community. In 1992 it was revealed to the world at large on Oprah by Native American spokesperson Suzan Harjo: "The word squaw is an Algonquin [sic] Indian word meaning vagina, and that'll give you an idea of what the French and British fur trappers were calling all Indian women, and I hope no one ever uses that term again."
 
This marked the beginning of organized efforts to remove the word squaw from place names, a campaign that continues today, so far with mixed success.
 
Hey, free country. Except that squaw doesn't mean vagina. "It is as certain as any historical fact can be that the word squaw that the English settlers in Massachusetts used for 'Indian woman' in the early 1600s was adopted by them from the word squa that their Massachusett-speaking neighbors used in their own language to mean 'female, younger woman,' and not from Mohawk ojiskwa', 'vagina,' which has the wrong shape [sound], the wrong meaning, and was used by people with whom they then had no contact.
 
The resemblance that might be perceived between squaw and the last syllable of the Mohawk word is coincidental." This comes to us from Ives Goddard, a specialist in linguistics and curator at the Smithsonian Institution, writing in News From Indian Country, mid-April 1997.
 
Massachusett (no s), one of the Algonquian family of languages, was spoken by Native Americans in eastern Massachusetts. As is common with "first contact" languages, Massachusett and its Algonquian cousins contributed many terms, including papoose, sachem, skunk, opossum, and raccoon, that thereafter became standard English words, even in parts of North America where Algonquian languages weren't spoken. The first recorded use of squaw in English dates from 1622, and it had been adopted into the language by 1634.
 
The Mohawks were 200 miles away, spoke a completely different language (Mohawk is part of the Iroquoian family of languages, not Algonquian, Harjo's statement notwithstanding), and were hostile to the Massachusett Indians.
 
Having deep-sixed . . . hmm, not the best choice of terms. Having dispatched the squaw = c*** angle, let's turn to the more general issue: is squaw considered an insult by Native American women? Lots of them sure think it is, although to what extent that's due to misinformation about the term's origin is debatable. "Documented uses of the word squaw in clearly derogatory senses are in fact hard to find," writes University of Colorado linguistics expert William Bright in a forthcoming article.
 
One early example: "the crafty 'squaw' . . . the squalid and withered person of this hag," from James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. (Squaw, squalid--you can see a problem right there.) On the other hand, tribes such as the Navajo use terms like squaw dance to this day.
 
One doesn't want to get overly PC about it, but the protesters have a point when they say special terms for minority women are inherently demeaning. Think about it. Negress. Jewess. Sixty years ago these terms were in common use. Now they make your flesh creep.
 
Next picture some pot-bellied slob in a cowboy hat: "Why, if it ain't a injun and his squaw." In 1967, 143 place names containing the word nigger were changed to Negro by order of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Squaw Valley may not be in the same league as Nigger Lake on the offensiveness scale. But it's up there with Pickaninny Creek.

The Truth About Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving:
The whole concept of thanksgiving derived from the English Colonialist on July 30, 1621. Governor William Bradford, issued a proclamation calling for a Thanksgiving celebration feast, to commemorate the gathering of the first harvest, which lasted three days. The Most High condemns anyone who celebrates Thanksgiving, or goes to a Thanksgiving Day parade, or eats a Thanksgiving dinner in the name of the Most High. Thanksgiving was a prelude to the massacre and slaughter of the North American Indians (Tribe of Gad) Infants were torn from their mother’s breast and hacked to pieces. The victory seemed a sweet sacrifice and they gave praise to their ('their god'). The ‘pilgrims’ didn’t want religious freedom they wanted wealth. The ‘pilgrims’ were murderers, rapists, thieves, child molesters, homosexuals, whores, prostitutes, drunks, and insane lowlifes, who brought syphilis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, small pox, etc. They infected the North American Indians with these diseases and killed millions of them. These ‘pilgrims’ who are white Europeans. In conclusion to all of this the pilgrims (so-called white man) came to steal their land, kill and to destroy the The North American Indians and they celebrate it with Thanksgiving.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Precepts John 10:10:

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

You must also remember that in the autumn of 1621 when Plymouth governor William Bradford invited neighboring Indians to join the Pilgrims for a three-day festival of recreation and feasting and that's when they the ‘pilgrims’ had instead murdered, tortured, butchered, and enslaved them. The "pilgrims" used words like "we come in peace" and "we love you" to fool the Indians. It was all a lie. The "pilgrims" (so-called white man) stole their land.) Take a look at what John 10:10 says.

Micah 2:1-2 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Devise - To contrive, plan, or elaborate; invent from existing principles or ideas.

Iniquity - A grossly immoral act; a sin.

(In verse 1 it mentioned the words devise and iniquity and that's exactly what the pilgrims did to the North American Indians. And in verse 2 it reads "and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away, and it goes on to say even a man and his heritage.

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
 
You must also remember that in the autumn of 1621 when Plymouth governor William Bradford invited neighboring Indians to join the Pilgrims for a three-day festival of recreation and feasting and that's when they the ‘pilgrims’ had instead murdered, tortured, butchered, and enslaved them. The "pilgrims" used words like "we come in peace" and "we love you" to fool the Indians. It was all a lie.
 
The "pilgrims" (so-called white man) stole their land.) Take a look at what John 10:10 says. Micah 2:1-2 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Devise - To contrive, plan, or elaborate; invent from existing principles or ideas. Iniquity -
 
A grossly immoral act; a sin. (In verse 1 it mentioned the words devise and iniquity and that's exactly what the pilgrims did to the North American Indians. And in verse 2 it reads "and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away, and it goes on to say even a man and his heritage.
 
Admin note: It is interesting how their own writings condemn such actions and yet this is exactly what these same people did to an innocent race who befriended them.

Prophecy....





Prophecy....

The Seventh Prophet that came to the people long ago was said to be different from the other prophets. This prophet was described as "young and had a strange light in his eyes" and said:

“ In the time of the Seventh Fire New People will emerge. They will retrace their steps to find what was left by the trail. Their steps will take them to the Elders who they will ask to guide them on their journey. But many of the Elders will have fallen asleep. They will awaken to this new time with nothing to offer. Some of the Elders will be silent because no one will ask anything of them. The New People will have to be careful in how they approach the Elders. The task of the New
People will not be easy.

 
If the New People will remain strong in their quest the Water Drum of the Midewiwin Lodge will again sound its voice. There will be a rebirth of the Anishinabe Nation and a rekindling of old flames. The Sacred Fire will again be lit.
 
It is this time that the light skinned race will be given a choice between two roads. If they choose the right road, then the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth and final Fire, an eternal fire of peace, love brotherhood and sisterhood. If the light skinned race makes the wrong choice of the roads, then the destruction which they brought with them in coming to this country will come back at them and cause much suffering and death to all the Earth's people.

Native veterans to meet and march for Aboriginal Veterans Day on November 8

Veterans to meet and march for Aboriginal Veterans Day on November 8

The 73-year-old served in the navy through the 1960s and 1970s, and he’s currently president of the Canadian Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association.

“We just finished celebrating 200 years of defending the country, starting back in 1812,” Blackwolf told the Straight by phone from his association’s office in Victoria.

He’s proud that Natives stood with the British in the War of 1812 against the Americans, a defining moment in Canada’s history as a nation. “It made the difference of us, this country, not being the U.S. right now,” Blackwolf said. “That’s where it starts.”

From the 19th-century Boer Wars in today’s South Africa to the two world wars that followed, the Korean conflict in the 1950s, and the Gulf War of the 1990s, thousands of aboriginals served in the Canadian military.

It’s a tradition that continues today. As of April 2013, according to federal government figures, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people make up more than two percent of the combined regular and reserve Canadian Armed Forces. At least 2,000 Natives are in the military.

This year’s celebration of Aboriginal Veterans Day comes with special significance for Métis man Richard Blackwolf.
The 73-year-old served in the navy through the 1960s and 1970s, and he’s currently president of the Canadian Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association.

“We just finished celebrating 200 years of defending the country, starting back in 1812,” Blackwolf told the Straight by phone from his association’s office in Victoria.

He’s proud that Natives stood with the British in the War of 1812 against the Americans, a defining moment in Canada’s history as a nation. “It made the difference of us, this country, not being the U.S. right now,” Blackwolf said. “That’s where it starts.”

From the 19th-century Boer Wars in today’s South Africa to the two world wars that followed, the Korean conflict in the 1950s, and the Gulf War of the 1990s, thousands of aboriginals served in the Canadian military.

It’s a tradition that continues today. As of April 2013, according to federal government figures, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people make up more than two percent of the combined regular and reserve Canadian Armed Forces. At least 2,000 Natives are in the military.

It wasn’t until 1960 that Natives were granted the right to vote.

Many who came back from the first and second world wars and the Korean War found out that they had to fight some more, this time for benefits that were given to non-Native soldiers but were denied First Nations people.

In 2003, the federal government delivered a compensation package to rectify this injustice, but it’s one that Blackwolf said is incomplete because the Métis were not included in the reparation.

“The Métis weren’t recognized at all, so in most cases, they didn’t receive anything,” Blackwolf said.
In Vancouver, Aboriginal Veterans Day observances start on Friday (November 8) at 9 a.m. at the Carnegie Community Centre (401 Main Street). A march to the Victory Square war memorial follows, with a wreath-laying at the cenotaph.

The celebration comes three days ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11.
