Native indians

Our culture is about Understanding The connections with nature and connections with our own People and all others for Unity. We were a self sustained People who took only what was needed to live. Going back to our Culture Does not mean going back to live in tipis and moose hide loin cloths and running around eating leaves. It's about being connected to what created us to help protect the vulnerable and weak. We sit in circles because we don't Justify materialized possessions as Being rich, we don't Idolize one being Greater than the other. Our Ancestors walked this land. They prayed over this land to provide for us, the future generations to carry forward the wisdom of this land and its beneficial Lessons of survival and sustainable Resources from clean rivers to Healing Leaves , barks,Roots. Our Traditional Crafts are Precious lessons on patience and Discipline and Determination,Endurance to finish. We smudge with fungus and Plants That are proven to be healing In the smoke it's creates. We believe in a Creator Yes, But we also believe in a day All nations will Gather in unity as the red nation was ripped away from the mother land and separated out of fear that we will gain knowledge and grow in numbers.. when I say bring back our songs, bring back the circles, Build the Arbour to bring back our dances for the children to learn. Teach the lessons of Crafts and Artwork, explain the impact of Residential school on your own Family and the impact on the community be Brutally Honest even if it hurts. We as people Need to heal from the Abuse our mothers,Fathers, Grandparents their grandparents and older generations endured. Their prayers are why we are still here fighting for our rights,Fighting for our voices they silenced, growing our hair they cut. OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT HOW WE ARE TREATED EVERYWHERE. WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.Ill still smudge for you all to the join the circle of YOUR people
