Truth and reconciliation, yes! truth and reconciliation day REPLACING FEAR WITH LOVE

 THE BATTLE HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN...

But I do find myself coming back to this quote by George Bernard Shaw. Let me see if I can remember it, he says. This is the true joy in life of being used for a purpose. Considered by yourself as mighty, but being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I'm of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and while I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It's a sort of splendid torch that I've got hold up for the moment,  and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. (Screeen Script 9-26)

“I was taught that keeping quiet kept the peace, until I realized whose peace is it keeping.” (Melrobbins Quotes 9-26)”

 

I just wanted to jump on here quickly to remind folks as we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day that if you are asking Indigenous peoples to come to your school or your organization or your business, compensate our peoples for their emotional labour while. These days are meant to acknowledge and celebrate ours survival and resilience. Been asked to speak about our history or our traumas or our teachings can be difficult and in some cases re traumatizing. I remember years ago I was at a meeting with a matriarch and elder where she told folks she appreciated the tobacco in the clock, that she was offered to share her teachings, but that she and I quote, couldn't pay the rent or buy food with cloth. Too often Indigenous peoples are asked to perform emotional labour for free. That's not actioning reconciliation, that's just asking Indigenous peoples to work harder for no money. So if you have Indigenous peoples coming to share themselves with you. Welcome to my Ted Talk. (Nahanni Fontaine 9-25) (I was told years ago that I have to charge a fee, as in the counsel I give will not be taken seriously unless I put a price on it. It’s society that has put a price on love’s words.)

 

All Nations rise up! As they say History is written by the victors. How can there be a victor when the war is not over? The battle has only just begun, and Creator is sending  his very best warriors. And this time, it is an Indians versus Cowboys. This time its all the beautify races of humanity, together on the same side, and we are fighting to our fear with love. we are beautiful. Together on the same side, and we are fighting to replace our fear with love. (@missinthe 6ix21) (This is what it means to fight and heal from white supremacy. As in the following is about how Columbus was the most significant thing to happen to humanity. Under the making contact with the indigenous peoples in the Americas was an event of joining two branches of the human species that separated, some say 40,000 to 10,000 years. We as human beings are now one common genetic group. A crossbreeding that continues to this day in every corner of this world mate.)

Most mind-blowing thing ever happened, when Columbus Coming to America was the most significant thing to ever have happened in our species. So during the Ice Age, the ocean levels dropped, exposing the Bering Strait land bridge between Asia and what is now Alaska. Basically North America. That our ancestors who come out of Africa go into Europe. Some stayed, others kept wandering, some stayed low above the Mediterranean, others went high. They populate. Asia, they keep walking because there's an land bridge there. They don't even know to print. It's just more land. So they walk and they enter North America from there. This kind only way you can go with South. At that point, the weather gets a little better, The Ice Age ends, the glaciers melt back into the oceans. The oceans level, ocean levels rise, closing the land. Stranding a  branch of the human species for 10,000 years, those humans who made it across that land bridge and spread out into North America, Central America, South America, have only a few families as their parent. Genetic genetic origins. OK only just like some research says, it's like 8 family lineages populated the entire North and South American continents and then the land bridge breaks. Now you have Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America and they know nothing of one another, two separate branches of the human species. Vikings notwithstanding, maybe they found came over. They did not. Even if they did their influence was near 0 relative to the Europeans. So we talk about influence here. This is a branch had discontinued this is how you speciate. This is why the species on Australia is we have mammals there, they have pouches alright? No other mammals do that. They split off and they evolved. 10,000 maybe 40,000 years is not enough to grow three heads or, you know, 12 fingers. But our species is separate. Now. Columbus crosses the Atlantic, makes contact with humans, to the first time that has happened in 10,000 to 40,000 years. We have rejoined 2 branches of the human species we are now, One common Genetic group, and that genetic crossbreeding continues to this day. We fly to any corner of the world and mate.

This document was read, by OfficerAresenault, “But I'm also going to warn you that is quite disturbing and can also be triggering.

Sir, it is observed with alarm that the holding of dances by the Indians owner reserves is on the increase and that these practices tend to disorganize the efforts which department is putting forth to make themselves supporting. I have. Therefore, to direct you to use your utmost endeavors to dissuade the Indians from excessive indulgence in the practice of dancing.

You should suppress any dance which caused waste of time, interfere with the occupations of the Indians, unsettle them for serious work, age of their health, or encourage them, and sloth and idleness. (This type of marry within ones race existed here in Canada. It feels like the world here doesn’t see what the rest of the world sees. Slavery, white supremacy, and Indian residential was built on fear.)

You should also dissuade impossible prevent them from leaving the reserves for the purpose of attending fairs, exhibitions, etc, when their absence would result in their own farming and other interests being neglected. (Starvation was not enough. Controlling a species of humanity to serve another species, only because they believe they are the chosen species.)

 It is realized that reasonable amusements and recreation should be enjoyed by Indians, but they should not be allowed to dissipate their energies in the banning themselves to the moralizing amusement. (These ceremonies and rituals are proven to be the foundations of remapping a traumatized brain. As the indigenous people raised their children as holy beings. These energies were not for our amusement rather they were done for healing.)

By the use of Tac and fairness, you can obtain control and keep it, and this obstacle to continued progress will then disappear. The rooms, halls or other places in which Indians congregate should be under constant inspection. They should be scrubbed, fumigated, cleansed, or disaffected. To prevent the dissemination of disease. The Indians should be instructed in regard to the matter of proper ventilation and the avoidance of overcrowding, rooms were public assemblies are being held and proper arrangements should be made. For the shelter of their horses and ponies, the agent will avail himself of the services of the medical attendant of this agency. In this connection, and to finish it, except for further information is desired, there will be no necessity to acknowledge the receipt of the circular. (Understianding that the fear these directives spread and were taught to our indigenous children in these Indian residential schools, as our indigenous children were not seen as human beings rather as animals, like horses and dogs. The tactics of scrubbing, fumigrateing, cleaning and disinfecting our children once they entered these Indian residential schools. Our sweat lodges that kept us healthy and clean were not seen as healthy practice of disseminating diseases. It was the diseases like small pox that killed millions of indigenous peoples of the America)

This was signed by the Deputy Superintendent General. Of the Department of Indian Affairs, Government of Canada and it was signed on. December 15th, 1921. So, why am I reading this? This is the past, for we also know. First Nations, Metis, children, families are still living the consequences of these type of directives, and I hope that as we approach the September 30th which is National Day truth and reconciliation, that we as a country take some time to. Reflected in our own way. Thank you. (OfficerAreesenault (9-27) (We must reflect on how to understand what it means to speak our truths and how do reconcile our own fear of what it means to be a human being in a time when we are slowly forgetting what it means to be human. We must understand love.)

 Domination of world history was a 200 year. Aberration is coming to an end and as a result of it you got to learn to understand non Western perspectives in the world. And it's actually quite frightening. But in many ways I find American intellectuals behind intellectuals. Including in Serbia, where I just was all grease on Istanbul, 'cause they are much more aware what's happening in the world than most American intellectual cell. I don't know how to solve that problem.  (global impulse Kishore Mahbubani “The western domination oof history is coming to an end.”9-28) (Its important to understand that the world doesn’t revolve around North America rather its we who need to become more aware of what is happening in this world.)
