Expultion

We all have been put in our place at some time right? Well, I want to ingest the norm of what has been happening with our so-called new-age-traditional population.. 

They will put you in your place, period. I'm referring to the younger population that has been liberated and are free thinkers and all that good stuff. When it comes to an OGEMA for myself and a few others, these new agers are void of any true cultural teachings. This means that they have learned many of our traditional teachings the wrong way. It's a great thing to learn the language and culture, but most of the time there is no discipline involved. The cork is out of the bottle so say. 

All across Anishinabeg Aking, there are learners of the customs and language. Great, but just because these few people learned the language and a few ceremonies, does not MAKE THEM A CHIEF, SPIRITUAL ADVISOR OR MEDICINE PERSON. But the beast has been unleashed and more problems arise in our communities. The problems arise more because our communities are in despair, despair from the ill effects of the white world, and the way we live. So, when a few good old Indians come into our communities, they have all the answers and ideas. They say they are our friends, but most likely, like evangelists, they are in your community to recruit the mainstream.  

Think I'm wrong? I can count 10 people who have attended higher education institutes to learn the language and its associated programs, to return to their communities as "KNOW IT ALL - JACK OF ALL TRADES CULTURE PEOPLE.

Look at our elders, yes they are happy with these individuals, but eventually, the elders are used as a token. Like the business models of yesterday, these individuals are going to extract many resources for their OWN BENEFIT. Think I'm jealous? 

As these associates have gained power, so to have their gangs. Eventually, they move on to better resources, in this case, the elders and community people. 

Some of these associates have moved to the collegiate level(because that's where influence, power and real money are). Some of these associates have moved close to the tribal councils and some have gotten into the school systems. I say good for them and bad for us. 

All or most of these associates do not adopt a traditional CHIEF in their personal or professional worlds. The associates cannot or chose to accept a traditional form of government in their lives. To accept a full traditional way of living, we have to start with the CHIEFS AND THE WOMEN. The clan system is in their as well. Getting back to the associates. Look around you, who are making the decisions when it comes to the language and culture, I bet it is one or few associates that are buddies with some other associates. 

If we are not talking about CHIEFS,OGEMA-KWE AND CLANS, WE ARE STILL LYING TO OUR CHILDREN AND TEACHING THEM LIES AND COUNTER PRODUCTIVITY>

Think I'm wrong?

Then take a gander at your local community and government, if you're from Canada, you most likely have the "CHIEF AND COUNCIL" as your leaders. If you're in the states, you might have local Indian councils who report to the tribal councils. LIE< LIE< LIE. 

In our natural ways, Women were and should never be speakers, Gagigidoinninwag or claim to be a CHIEF. You wanna know why? Okay, i will tell you a little, the rest you will have to bring tobacco. WOMEN ARE THE BOSSES. MEN ARE THE SPEAKERS. CHIEFS ARE DECISION MAKERS WITH THE OGEMAKWEWAG HAVING THE FINAL SAY>

Now, look at your so-called associates and their goons, and ask yourself, Are these people trying to live the old way???

What happens to you and your family, if you question or correct these associates? If these associates get mad, pissed off or deal threatened, they will try and bury you.  I don't mean that literally but, they will try and fuck you up and make you look like your paranoid, delusional and mentally incompetent. Now, now, now - isn't this starting to sound familiar? Ask yourself this, how much does money revolve around the associates gameplan and motivation? Ask them, see what their reaction is?

If they are traditionally motivated, they will tell you how much they are making, if they follow and believe a CHIEFS way of thinking, the associates will break you off some of their cheese and say "here you go."

Am I wrong???
