Time will tell........Who you really are

Currently we are all feeling the staggering costs of health care, food, and transportation. However, what does this mean? What is the bigger picture in store for the majority of the population?
As an Aboriginal person, i have to always ask myself this question? When i think on the matter and the problems we face on a day to day basis, i can understand why most people are in a huge state of denial. Denial in the fact, that most people think that everything is just fine and that there is nothing to worry about. Complicate this by the matter, in which the people who are in some type of influential/authoritative role, don't have the courage,ability and strength to even begin to offer suggestions and stand up against the real bullies; the government infrastructure and all of it's labyrinth connections.
So, in all actuality most of the masses of people are either 1) distracted with some type of event 2) inundated with overwhelming stress( easier to control ), or thirdly, too damn weak to think they can make a difference.
The real people and Aboriginals that can see what and where we are headed, as a society are too few, thin and outnumbered. They need support, encouragement and listeners. They feel like no one cares or that nobody gives a damn about what they think.
So, text that text of yours. Drink that alcoholic drink of yours. En gauge yourself meaninglessly to whatever you might.
Because when the time comes for you to fight, you will already be self-defeated. You won't realize, like you don't realize now, that you are being used, abused and mislead by every commercial you watch, every product you buy, and yes-even your own damn self.

Please.......Please who?

I just talked to one of my adopted relatives in Ontario,Canada. He told my that when I come to Canada-to make sure that I have my birth certificate.
I guess when that time comes I will make sure that I don't have that piece of paper. I mean, think of it, it would kinda be great not to be accepted back into the un-united states. Not, that Canada is any better, but their track record with the Aboriginals, in my opinion is a little better.
So, if you are planning to travel to Canada, take your birth certificate with you and if you want to make a historical point, don't take your birth certificate with.
I now would like to direct my focus on our Aboriginal peoples attitude about the empire(U.S.A) and how everyone in my opinion is controlled, fearful and yet, still purchasing all that useless shit we are taught by the mass media to have.
Why do we choose to attend post-secondary education institutes? Is is because some of us like to be elitist and come across that way in our communities? Do we attend these institutes, because we need more money, a bigger house or just plain more money?
Well, these institutes, if they are of a high caliber rank(sick), are designed to exterminate the individual thought process of it's peers, make sure the peer is following the corporate agenda, relocate them is some sense-all in the attitude that " hey this schooling will benefit you and your families and your communities." All hidden, in plain sight.
Those of you who keep your end of the empires bargain,keep acting like your shit don't stink, don't call people back that are less human than you. But, do play politician and act like you really care about people and their communities. When the time comes to voice your opinion on certain matters, your mass schooling frame of mind will kick in, opposing all thoughts that do not think like you.
So, there goes the Elders and the communities thoughts, right out the window.
I think we need to just let these people be and have their own little world, wait they do, they have the whole damn world with their oppressive ways.......Shit, silly me.
So what, i will continue to oppose these ill-attitude-no back boned pussies....

Half-Breeds

I could be considered a half breed. An apple, as my wife likes to tease me about. But, i must say, i am not tainted with the European blood that presumably likes to dominate everything it encounters.
I have numerous relatives, friends and enemies that are either Caucasian, half-breeds, African-American, Chinese American or just plain Native.
It seems to me like the people I encounter who have a diluted European blood line in excess of 25% are really selfish, arrogant people. Don't get me wrong, these are just the people in my narrow path in life.
It seems to me that these people, whether they have really light skin or if they have dark skin as myself, are really chameleons. If they are really light skinned, than they can fit into mainstream society as a white person. I mean, society will probably in the most relate with these people's white side.
However, if these same individuals choose to follow their aboriginal blood, they will always omit that Aboriginal sense of being, not the white blood. Now, if they are dark skinned like myself, these people are the chameleons that cannot hide the color of their skin, therefor they are the really dangerous people. They can come off as an authentic Aboriginal person, however, eventually, their Euro centric way of mind and being always pushes their Aboriginal connection, charm, charisma and most importantly, attitude to the side.
There was this elderly man who influenced my thoughts. This was one of many elderly men that influenced my intellectual thought process. I did not receive this thought process from attending western school systems or a few university instructors. I was always challenged by some old men as to, how i really looked at life, people, my surroundings and health. Little did i know at the time how they were rearing me. Now a days, i can see where all the knowledge can be applied from these elderly men.
" Take a look at the all the trees, you never see birch trees marrying the oak trees and you never see the Pines marry the Poplar trees-that's how our people should live and stay-PURE,JUST LIKE THE TREES."
So. What how do we educate the masses on this particular matter?

Gichigaming and the Toxic Avenger

I just reconnected with an old friend. His name is Greg Price. I actually met Greg a few years back at Mcdonalds. I was there with some of the students I work with. We were just returning from a field trip to the Duluth aquarium.
Greg has done extensive research on the Nuclear Waste that was dumped into Lake Superior from one of our great armed forces. Of coure they will never admit to the dumping and or acknowledge the fact of the matter.
Greg, a long with another man named W.B Wirta need support. They are trying to get the word out and the messege as to the Nuclear Waste that is on the bottom of Lake Superior. Anyone out there, check out the website: nukewatch.com
It's petty interesting and very informative. Plus, it gives the extensive amount of information that Greg has uncovered. Questions and concerns can be posted here. If not, you can e-mail Mr. Wirta at wbwirta@cs.com
Until the next time,
Jay

Everyone in a Hertz.

Well let's face it, most people are trained professionals in fields that further the agenda of the un-united states of dis-america.
Most people act pretty shitty when you step on their toes and act worse if they know, that you know-what their true life intentions are.
So, we have a full orchestrated, dumbing down community. What one believes and does, the rest or remainder of the population will enforce or act out, just because they are with the agenda of the oppressor.
So, that take to mind the human kind and it's powerful drive to live,learn, reprogram and gather energy.
The human mind operates between .5 hertz and 36 hertz. Now, if you are a person who lives in (TRIES)balance with the rest of the natural forces, you will notice, that, most people do not know of their own personal force in the positive sense. They would rather give into the negative force that is much easier and sold by Hollywood.
So, if yo were one of the attendees who had the opportunity to attend one of our Ceremonial gatherings, you could have found yourself in ahh, overwhelmingness and plain disgust.
Disgust in the fact, people always find their own clicks. These same people gather in groups, that by numbers, dominate the energy that s put out into the ceremony.
So, you have an opposing force like myself come onto the scene and disturb, rustle up the dominating energy and watch individual eyes go cold of the ones that i disturb. Next thing you know, i am the outcast, the lonely one-the one that everyone wants to target, because they do not want my opinion on their life, it would piss them off and upset the natural order of their healing.
So, i have decided whoever needs my energy will receive it, who does not want my energy, well, i will still offer my tobacco for you.
Now, if you take the natural Hertz of the human mind and mix this up with a Spiritual gathering, you are overcome with some pretty awesome feelings and energies. All that give the individuals time to heal and have the ability to heal their minds from life's every day bombarding of incomplete energies.
But,If you are most of the people i witnessed at our ceremony who are ignorant,selfish and oh so compliant, you will have your cell phone, gameboy,mp3 player and YES-EVEN A LAPTOP connected to you, so that it appears that you are engaged into something that makes you a somebody. Yet, you stop to really consider the fact, that the gadgets you ware, listen to and get enjoyment from-all emit an electrical frequency. DOes it matter to you that our old Elders stopped any type of un-american distraction from coming into our ceremonies?????
So, these Old Elders lived in the harmonic balance of the earth. So, when an elder came up to you as a young child and that elder slapped you on the leg and said something to the effect " wake up-there's no time for sleep."
There was huge amounts of truth to that action. That elder wanted the best energy for you as a young child, now you are that child, that is all grown up and possibly with your own cubs as well.
So now, our living elders are all in a flux. Some of them lack the capacity to voice their concerns openly. they do not feel fit to be in the limelight of "elder." So, now what?
They have me, and i have them. You have a problem with me, take it up with our TRUE ELDERS.

Coming Home----A reality Connection

This is finally it. My own blog. Man, i had to put this off for a long time, the fact that the unity of our communities are really fucked.
I got to get home to my place of Spiritual enlightenment, my home and my Spiritual place of humility. It is Waweyeagamaug, or Round Lake, Wisconsin.
To return home is always overwhelming. To see the disarray of ill functioning people, including my close family, is really in all, a by product of reservations and lifestyles-to each is to it's own-kinda attitude.
Upon returning home, i always notice new things, people and attitudes. This time what i had noticed was more evident of what our old people, the old people that do not physically exist anymore, except by people's thoughts-and what was evident was the lack of community, unity, truth and sense of pride and fullfillment.
I am the type of person that sits and observes, beyond the normal procedures-whatever that means. So, as i was sitting and meditating, taking a break away from my ceremonial procedures ,a story about an elderly gentleman from the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation came into my mind.
The thought that came into my mind was that this old man, just like the elders of his day-were tricky, tricky in the fact that they could know how somebody thought-percieved life-what was important to these people, just by listening to them. They would not even have to see them, just hear them.
So, i was closing my eyes and listening. Imaging what those old people would hear 80 or 90 years ago. But, at first, everything was a conglomerate of muffled sounds, hard to hear just one voice.
"People think i am sleeping" i could hear this old man say to me. " What they don't know is that i am listening-listening to things, foolish ideas-fake people."
So, as i sat and listened, i heard the foolish thoughts , ideas and fake Anishinabe people. I guess you really have to be a strong spirited person to listen to all the garbage and lifeless things people take for being fun and motivating.
So, after hours of listening and coming up with an opinion of people, these Old Men would give their FACTS on ceremonial procedures, people and life. All of this and than some, from the old people's perspective. This was their commitment and knowledge to the order of the universe. Now-THERE IS NO TRUE ORDER-THE INDIVIDUALS CALLING ORDER TO CERTAIN FACETS OF LIFE AND SPIRITUAL WISDOM ARE CONTROL FREAKS.
So, it's like this: Who are we in the world? Who are we in the Universe? And who are we on our own Anishinabe world and communities?
Most of our past Spiritual people answered all of these questions by living-lilving the truths of life and nothing else. Trial and error were essential to thier survival.
Now, in todays time thier is no time for trial and error, because everyone is programmed to see all of your errors and give you thier opinion because they have no time to reflect what they see about you.
