THE SALMON AND OHTER FISH - WHO LIVED IN OUR RIVERS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS - THEN HAMPERED BY DAMS - ARTIFICIALITY OF SORTS - NOW WE DEEM AND QUESTION - WHOSE FAULT IT IS - THAT THE SALMON - WILL NOT GIVE UP THEIR FREEDOM.

The Salmon is King -

they traversed from place to place -

using a GPS second to none -

now impeded by dams, nurseries, and all

sorts of ploys, machinations, and shenanigans

Greed knows no bounds -

what was once pristine - has now been contaminated -

at this late day - someone wants to do something -

half heartedly - " your heart has to be in the right place ".

The Salmon and other Fish - who lived and bred in our North California rivers - free - for thousands of years - only to be hampered by dams - and artificiality of sorts - now deem whose fault it is - we human have a responsibility - do we have our heart in the right place?

We would not accept every woman be artificially inseminated - and intrude on women and their freedom. We fail to understand the role of the Salmon - and all it stands - and has stood for thousands of years.

For thousands of years when the Salmon announced their arrival - fires were lit - all along the route the Salmon took - before they spawned - and then gave up their life. 

This ritual must be fully understood - but a segment of the population - has been fixated on money - artificial methods using nurseries - and trying to avert the main reason - why the Salmon has met its fate - the GREED of some human beings - who still do not get it.

Your message from the Salmon - who cannot speak for itself - " get out of way " - " if you do not - you will perish - you mean deeds - have now reach saturation point - and your evil deed must be reckoned - now "

All these legalese invented by those who know little if nothing at all - about the Salmon - the life of the indigenous and their inter-action with Mother Earth and all life - is well known and acknowledged by those - " who have their heart in the right place - the indigenous people - who respect Mother Earth and all life and that includes the Salmon, the Buffalo, the deer, the many form of life and food - that nurture us all - to better understand the situation at hand".

The State of California has not been kind to the indigenous people - the Tribes of California. Up until 1927 - edict went out to kill the " Indians " from the California Governors who sent  " edicts " to kill the " Indian " -  for their scalp and evil deed - one could fetch a measly - $5.

What I have stated above was not too long ago - we are in year 2019 and nothing much happened - good. 

Today, the discrimination has an ugly icing - they say what you want them to say - and then stab you in back - as you turn your back.

Human beings can never, ever challenged Mother Nature - we know that from the destruction of our land, the forest, the rivers and lakes, the Oceans - the pollution of the skies and the depletion of the Ozone layer. The increase in the carbon footprint - and the contamination of the watershed.

Our air is so filthy - filled wit particulates more PM 2.5 - and most lay person - know little about respiratory diseases and heart problems - and now to cap it all - much like they played hell with the Salmon - the monsters have adversely impacted our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults, our Elders, and those with compromised health.

Soon you will hear about " toxic stress " - evil factors that slowly but surely - destroy human life.

We see around us - experts - those in charge of our health - talk too much - but there is no action - no action that is holistic.

Money is what the " Health Maintenance Organizations " were created or - by evil, greedy folks with no conscience - what so ever - all these vermin want is more  wealth - and never mind how they get the money. 

Just reflect on the three words - " Health", "Maintenance"  and  "Organization ".

F a m i l y 

The injustice done to those indigenous people who have been deprived of their freedom - knows no bounds - history has not been truthful - and we see what is happening today at the White House - depriving the Physically Challenged of funds, treating our infants, children, youth, young adults, Elders, those with compromised health with disdain.

And there is more.

The divisiveness and corruption reigning in our Nation once better known as Turtle Island.

Now, know as the United States of America - begs the question - why are so many tribes - many of them have signed treaties and are sovereign nations - but yet live on Reservations.

Reservations -  created by those " evil to the core " .

Those that mess with the children of the Great Spirit - those who with intent harm the innocent - they will foam at the mount and die a slow death.

There is only so much - the innocent cries - begin for justice and fair play - we have seen some signs - the Great Spirit sees it all. Those that practice " evil " - this is the clarion call - Stop you evil deeds - now.

Camp Oceti Sakowin -

the land of Chief Sitting Bull -

he united the Lakota Nations -

we honor him and his actions that stand true today.

Water is life - and we went to North Dakota to show our solidarity and documented that adventure for all generation to see and witness - " one must stand tall and represent - as long as one has life" . Water is life.

When the "devil " decided with intent to pollute and contaminate the water - decided with intent - to make money - by impeding the " freedom of the Salmon " - building pipelines in very close proximity to " clean drinking water " -  something is wrong - very wrong.

Indigenous people know better - long before the " paleface" came and looked us in the eye and lied " - long before that happened -  the prophets and their  prophecies revealed it all in detail.
