Buffalo's Fire

Thankyou to all Sacred Brothers and Sisters for reaching out Heart to Heart and speaking into a multi systems and global phenomenon. When legitimate social power is overthrown, silenced and fettered from recovery ...anywhere on the planet ...these are the predictable dynamics which evolve. Gangs are not something invented on Reservations. They are symptomatic outworkings of systems of power and control manipulations and their sustained dysfunctions.

This is not a theoretical issue. This is a crisis of Spiritual warfare on Red Earth for over 500 years ...which todays gangs mirror. So many present day residents of America inadvertently develop historical amnesia and seem socially lobotomised about the need to study and learn the contradictory Histories ...the contested Histories of where they live today. It isn't Europe ...tho the hegemonic pulse of institutional and structural power is super imposed as if ...unproblematic ...when really ...it feeds much of the cultural blindness and institutional dysfunctions which parade as govt. assistance ...good intentions notwithstanding.

Reverse your analysis and ask ...what is wrong with American Society that it fails to serve the needs and interests of Red Earth peoples across the Americas?... See More

Take a socio-historical look at what the causes for these ills are ...before looking at the Rez as 'subject and locus of PROBLEM'.

Failing to consult the historical roots of the situation defaults to what many call Eurocentricsm = Monocentricsm = Every day Racism. No one wants to go there on purpose. Tho it takes a commitment to learn the Red Histories through Red Experiences and Understandings not those of the new cultures who now rule over their Ancient and Ancestral World ...by force. Whether BIA or whatever installed outsider brokers ...as fetters on Red Self Determination and Humanity. Thankyou again Sacred Brothers and Sisters and keep the dialogue open and fully informed. Sending Peace and Goodwill to our Hearts for courage and compassion to ourselves as we seek ways to join in Oneness ...sacred me is reaching out and seeking to join in Oneness, with sacred you. Kia Manuia ...Blessings BE. And yes, I do have first hand experience with these dynamics in my own backyard in the South Pacific having been a Ward of the State and institutionalized for being Indigenous. I also have Irish, Yugoslav as well as Pacific heritage so ...understand the need for European Kin to educate ourselves on the Indigenous Histories of where we live today out of fundamental sacred respect.

You are most welcome!

It was kind of sickening to read about how many of the world leaders arrived to the conference..gas guzzlers, limos, Mercedes, etc. I think many are put off by the "do as I say not as I do" camp. A name that comes to mind is Al Gore. He has several huge homes, travels around the world, etc. I would be more apt to listen if he moved to a small house and got rid of all of his homes, gas guzzlers, lavish vacations around the world, etc.

I believe there is going to be an ethics investigation. what was alarming was the statistics of the count is up to 26.

What do you mean, count is up to 26?

I really mis Mt. and the rainbow is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.

aho!

I tried but alas! I'm already a fan of Buffalo's Fire!

Hi Terri. That's OK. Just invite your friends. Also, I'll call you soon about Copenhagen.

Maybe Trimble deserves it...

lets hope he's healed now.

I just ordered this book.. and noticed that there are NO reviews on Amazon!... I will certainly do one... who else has read this of the Native persuasion?

I think the book just came out. You should definitely write a review. I am reading the book now.
