Many of us advocates with deep ties to the indigenous people must understand that we take our lead and guidance - from great indigenous Chiefs and Shamans - Spiritual Leaders - who would never, ever trust Donald Trump - let alone get near the stench of Sulphur - anywhere near his abode.
We know the meaning "smudging" oneself with sage.
Sage and other elements - know for thousands of years - that purifies and makes one beholden to speak the Truth to Power.
What is is most important to note and understand is paying keen attention - " respecting " those that adhere to principles handed down - thousands of years - all documented - empirical data - our Elders - keepers of the Wisdom.
No one in the right mind should have anything - what so ever to do with the "Liar " - one that talks the talk but will never, ever walk the walk. He just happens to live illegally in the White House.
When some one says Native American Heritage Month can also include the Whites who killed, raped, stole, hoodwinked - something is seriously wrong - not only with the logic - but the situation at hand.
We have in the White House - a chronic liar who has NOT only sold this land out - which of course does not belong to any White person.
What is more - is in bed with our enemies - be it Vladimir Putin or many of the dictators that the liar who makes his abode in the White House - wheels and deals with often.
243 years ago - the Founding Fathers - deeply influenced by the Six Nations - the Iroquois Tribe - the Long Cabin - a Matriarchal Government - create a living document - the Constitution.
From time to time the Founding Fathers invited the Six Nations to learn more about a living Democracy - that helped them create the Constitution and a Republic with checks and balances.
The Founding Fathers studied the many aspects of the Tribes who governed well - incorporated many elements into our present government. But as often happens - over time - bit the hand that fed them - as most Whites do this to this day.
Racism of the worst nature is embedded in their DNA - and they fear anyone who speaks Truth to Power - that includes anytime I meet liar, corrupt to the core - who are wheeling and dealing in San Francisco.
As part of the National American History and Founders Month a press statement - was issued by the White House - saying one thing and meaning another - Check it out :
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-national-american-history-founders-month-2019/
November in the United States - better known - among those that can be trusted and speak Truth to Power - as Turtle Island - has been declared by the Whites - as Native American Heritage Month.
Many indigenous take this month with a pinch of salt - there is no way others - the strangers - can understand less comprehend - what is really means to be indigenous. I have witnessed the abject discrimination - meted out to people of color - indigenous people - who always say - Mother Earth.
Paradoxically this is the first time any White House can chosen to publicly state about November and its link to Native Americans - who we prefer to call indigenous - saying things that adversely impact the indigenous people - much as those do today - not all but most - who are noted for their forked tongues.
The Lakota symbol for unity -
Chief Sitting Bull united the Lakota Nation.
Turtle Island
every square inch was stolen
indigenous people have tenacity and fortitude
must not near anyone smelling of Sulphur
less trust those who speak with a forked tongue.
This title - Native American Heritage month - means many things to many decent children, women, men, our beloved Elders - more those suffering - trials and tribulations.
Chief Sitting Bull -
he united the Lakota Tribes and Nation -
he would never, ever go near a person
who smells of Sulphur - never.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce -
he loved his people -
he stood by his people -
he died despondent - feeling the trials and tribulations -
we remember him - those of us who work for the people.
he loved his people -
he stood by his people -
he died despondent - feeling the trials and tribulations -
we remember him - those of us who work for the people.
Again and again the cheating, the lying, the hoodwinking, was felt deeply - by the greatest leaders who every lived on Mother Earth - in recent times - Chief Sitting Bull, Chief Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph - among many.
Those - of you - who are close to the Great Spirit and follow the dictates of the Elders - know what I mean. Our ancestors are special - our Elders - and as time goes by - we must hold fast - to Wisdom and learn to pass down the Truth - that stands against all harm.
When one goes to the Reservations and sees what is happening there - the many inebriated, the Opioids pandemic, the lack of opportunity, the starvation of the indigenous people, the lack of good roads, the lack of clean drinking water.
Lack of sound education, no decent hospitals, lack of elder care, lack of child care - and there is more - we are fed up of hot air - cheap talk - and No sound action that counts.
Camp Oceti Sakomwin -
near by Standing Rock
Some of us left San Francisco and travelled to North Dakota and saw for us the gathering at Camp Oceti Sakowin.
We went to the Reservation and shared what we had. We saw the Black Hills - and prayed and took inspiration - from the Great Spirit that sees it all.
We know and we remember who sided with the devil and permitted the North Dakota Pipeline Project to go forward.
Water is Life.
The egoistical maniac insulted every single indigenous person by including Whites who stole the land - taking the fake opportunity to speak for the indigenous - failing to understand the history and the harm done by the Whites.
When it comes to the Native American Heritage Month - and indigenous culture - Whites racists must stay far off - and as they near we smell the Sulphur - those of us who know better about Cultural Competency and more.
Faking it to a degree that the egoistical maniac - saw nothing - adding Whites to Native American Heritage Month.
His chronic lack of cultural competency, his abject bias to the indigenous - people of color - is well known - the man put it in writing and made a fool of himself.
Andrew Jackson -
a racists - who killed, murdered, killed children -
moved tribes from their homeland -
a despicable man - who the present President adores.
Rogue persons - like President Andrew Jackson and other murderers who raped women, killed innocent children, shot and killed warriors in cold blood - are a abject " disgrace to the human race ".
NO decent indigenous person - knows that history - will ever accept their evil deeds - of White United States Presidents and their government - who showed disdain to the indigenous people - and do so until today.
None of the so called Treaties what were signed by Sovereign Tribal Nations and the U.S.Government have been adhered to - and this shame has brought the United States to its knees - including this present mess we endure - from the egotistical maniac living in the White House - that was built by Blacks.
What is more blindly incorporating evil actions and deeds - in some sort of Executive Order - daring to include language contrary to the beliefs and trust - of any indigenous - acceptance of culture and value - worth the salt.
War deeds and harm done to humanity at large - and the indigenous people in particular in the United States - charges brought before the International Court at the Hague by many tribes at the World Court - and before other institutions - such as the United Nations.
While countries such as Canada and Australia have apologized to their First People and Aboriginals.
The United States - steeped in pride, pompous buffoons, adamant - do not want to apologize for their misdeeds - more killing and murder, rape and other atrocities - that will churn one's stomach and make one nauseate.
Now in the year 2019 adding more insults - to Native American Heritage Month.
Adding uncalled language - reminiscent of past sordid deeds - unspeakable rapes, murder, lying, cheating and more - a Presidential Proclamation on National American History and Founders Month, 2019.
Shame on all those who participated in this shameful deed from the present White House on worse than the other.
We the know the buffoon - who makes his bed in the White House.
We know the majority who want this buffoon out - we know the chronic liar, we know who makes deals with the enemy - we know who put the Kurds in harms way, we know who is in bed with Russia and with North Korea.
Some one can easily be charged - " numerous crimes against humanity ".
For - sure some legal institution can bring the charges - at least for the world to know the Truth and hold his legs to the fire - he deserve punishment - the kind imposed on criminal by Whites in times past - Romania and the neighboring region - a stake stuck up his whatever - and left to impale.
Thousands of Kurds put in harms way, the same with the Syrians - more women and children, the same with the Iraqi Christians.
Innocent children starved in Yemen - women and men killed by bombs that we provided to the Saudis.
The people of Yemen - do not need to be treated like dirt - but we tolerate the nonsense - our U.S jet fighters and bombs sold to the Saudi Government - who take pride and relish the suffering of human beings - murdering and killing innocent children and women - the same with many ethnic groups all documented.
We know about the " quid pro quo " ploys, machinations, and shenanigans - we know more - the egoistical maniac - lying through his teeth.
The egoistical maniac - who disgraces anyone who comes near his sordid self - his evil shadow - a disgrace to the human race.
I was at Alcatraz and met my good Brother -
Wounded Knee and others - too many to mention -
we were there - to celebrate the 50th Anniversary
of the take- over of Alcatraz Island -
an 18 month sojourn - that spoke of FREEDOM -
challenging movements - for liberty - all over the world.
Wounded Knee a respected elder, a man of his word, he has contributed a lot to the movement in the Bay Area and beyond.
My good friend - Wounded Knee - and others - have now reached an age - where they can do only so much.
The politics and other understanding of Federal Recognition, Restitution, healing, health, safety, housing, education, elder care, child care, sound transportation, keeping the treaties and less of diatribe and verbosity - have exhausted many.
We have to be spiritually strong - our heart in the right place.

The Elders I know - all understand that indigenous women warriors must be supported - and will be supported - come what may. Actions count. Aho.
One thing the deep indigenous warriors all understand - is how to discern.
More those who over the decades have gone through the fire.
The ability to discern serves well - all those who have gone through the many hardships , trials, and tribulations - the intense " fire " - all Elders deeply understand and more know - teach and hand down by word of mouth.
The Elders can separate the wheat from the chaff - and have learned well from those before them what is good to keep and protect

Reading the Constitution - indigenous people are not treated fairly.
The mention - words in the Constitution - the indigenous being compared as savages is an insult.
Even as we well know most Whites live like barbarians - in caves in Europe - when indigenous people for thousands of years - built cities - and contributed to many great civilizations - both in North and South America.
Blacks - mentioned as being less than human - other sordid comparisons made - people of color - by the Founding Fathers - leave a sour taste in the mouth.
Some owned slaves - and showed no empathy and compassion - in their words and deeds - we know it - but we say little always thinking the dark cloud will pass away - some keeps opening wounds - and the time has come to send him packing to North Korea - he can live there - with his lover boy and read all the love letters - in very close proximity.
Such behavior and more mentality is despicable - brings mistrust - best described by those who knew better and could discern - " those that speak with a forked tongue " .

Muwekma Ohlone Warrior
Closer to home here in San Francisco - we have the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe - the only tribe that was Federally Recognized and then illegally removed by L.A. Dorrington - a Bureau of Indian Affairs agent.
Technically NO other tribe has laid claimed on all the land we know as San Francisco - the Muwekma Ohlone did - using their Right of First Refusal in 1991.
The legalese pertaining to the Muwekma Ohlone - with ties to Mission Dolores - DNA tests to prove continuity of the Tribe and more - all laid bare on the website by the Muwekma Ohlone for all the world to read and more comprehend :

Alcatraz Island was where the Hopi Tribe were incarcerated - and so were others - some innocent people.
Not to mention - even military personnel - among them the Buffalo Soldiers - not too many - but some and that mention - raises a brow here and there - but history is there to share - and more to bear witness to - that we know and can stand our ground.
Things were made difficult for those that took over Alcatraz Island - but easy for the hippies who jumped on the band wagon - taking on the island - after 18 months.
The Hippies tarnished the initial take over - that and more - has yet to be filtered - the chaff - what is good and must be kept.
History is not always told with facts and empirical data - the 50th Anniversary is more of the 18 long months - where the " fire " was lit - for freedom.
We must know the difference between freedom and license - abuse of freedom is license - and we are not here to point fingers - but to right the wrong.
It is good to be educated on issues - know the process -much as the Elders protect the customs of the Tribes - the Council maintains law and order - and Indigenous Mothers and Grandmothers do more - for the good of all concerned in many a tribe.
Let us listen to the Elders - learn from them - the Truth.
If we do this - we will succeed - it is essential right now to plant the right seeds - to grow the right plants - t nurture the plants to bear good fruit .
All this and more with the Great Spirit in mind.
Aho - to the Elders - they are now few - but we know who speaks Truth to Power.

The representation was there -
witness by children, youth, adults,
our beloved Elders - there were speeches -
and chanting, smudging and that and more was good
to behold - the 50th Anniversary - the take-over
of Alcatraz Island - and sounding the clarion call -
for good works and action - unity of all people - indigenous.
The 50th Anniversary celebration brought out the people and among them advocates Collin Kaepernick and Actor Danny Glover - Danny Glover - who was not keeping well - but brought himself to the scene to represent - show his love for those he loves.
Colin Kaepernick was in the house -
always humble and always spreading
joy - he is for the people -
more those that need help most.

It is always a pleasure to have
Danny Glover present - he has always
been there for the indigenous -
on the frontline doing what he does best
represents - and stand tall for the people.
Right now in San Francisco - we all have to stand united - and we all have to be careful - of the many sell outs - many of them say things - but few are there to show their love - by presenting themselves - sacrificing - good actions.
We left early and arrived early at 5:15 am - Thursday, November 28, 2019 - we stayed for 5 hours and then decided to leave for home - which is San Francisco.
It was a pleasure meeting so many George and Millie from the National Park Service, Wounded Knee and Perry Matlock - Eric L. Mar - who always manages to find me. So many good people -
on the ROCK.
