Kiowa Boys circa 1890
Thousands of indigenous children - here on Turtle Island - innocent and loving - were torn apart from their families and loved ones.
Deprived of living in their homelands - forced to walk thousands of miles away - from the land of their ancestors.
Children are close to Mother Earth - they are close to the Universe.
When you see a child and feel the throb of the heart - you know if you are human - you are in the presence of all that is good.
Children will take your breath away.
Sometimes children say what they feel - they have no barriers - and in their sayings, they speak of the wisdom of a different kind.

The land we call Turtle Island has been evolving for millions of years.
We know from artifacts, DNA, and human remains - that indigenous people have lived here on Turtle Island - for over twenty-three thousand years.
Artifacts carbon dated for those who care to believe.
The came the White man who landed by mistake on this land - and tried to claim the land was his own.
We know that the White man bit the hand that fed him.
We know more - we will say less - if one is correct, there is little to say.
If someone acts like a fool - if he loves to swim in the cesspool of his own creation.
He might as well swim and drown - as we know, this continues to happen with him and his kind - to this day.

The Great Spirit sees it all - and when the Great Spirit leads one to say something important - the words will flow - and the heavens and Earth will know that all is in place.
The indigenous women have always been called to heal.
The indigenous men warriors know their place; they hunt, protect, and keep the tribe united.
The indigenous women to this day heal - I know what I speak of.
The Indian Removal Act of 1830 - the removal of the Cherokee from their Tribal Lands.
Removed forcefully from North Carolina, Tennesse, Georgia, and Alabama - sent thousands of miles away - to Oklahoma.
Oh, Great One, Bless our indigenous women, Make them strong today and every day - Our time has come.
Cherokee Woman Warrior!
Apache woman.

Chief Sitting Bull respected indigenous women - he united the Lakota Nation - the Great Spirit sees it all.
The indigenous can adapt - they will not surrender - the land belongs to the indigenous - the treaties signed are worthless - the paleface speaks with a forked tongue - cannot be trusted.
History has recorded the atrocities committed - the Indian Removal Act of 1830 - they came back to their Tribal lands - and tried to set the record right. Evil men like Andrew Jackson tried to wipe the tribes out - he created the mess - we are dealing with today. Fires that incinerated everything in sight. Floods that wipe everything in their path, tears of blood - the paleface will never rest in peace.
An apology that is on the right track. The United States - is crawling like a snail. The U.S. does not have the balls - to speak the truth to power. Will not apologize. That is the mentality of a thief - he steals, rapes, lies, cheats, and brags - he is right. Yeah!
Chief Joseph - Nez Perce Leader
Seminole Elder and healer - the wisdom of the highest order.
Our sister is a warrior, and we will win - the women will bring about the healing - and those that come in the way - will fall flat on their faces - if they think about harming anyone - more, act with hate.
We will stand tall and represent - we will heal - as the Great Spirit deems fit - that time has come - let the healing begin.
