Blind WIll lead The Blind Part One

OOps!
Never mind that first post, i accidently hit the return button and it posted my title head. Hello to the world.
For some of the tribal nations out there, this is the time of the year where the elections coincide with the national politics. If you vote on a national level, do you as an un-american feel any different or is your consciuonce a little more settled, now that you have casted your vote?
Our Turtle Island that we inhabit, is called by the majority of the population " america ." I say and continue to say " un-america ." Would you believe that people in the european nations have a better understanding and total knowledge base about Aborigianl peaoples of the Americas?
Un-america is based on flase pretenses,lies, deception and genocide. Genocide? Yes! The genocide that was initiated by unchristopher columbus was by far-much more huge than Adolf Hitlers. Funny think is, when the Eugenics movement was started, Hitler was known to have said something to the effect of " look at what you americans did to the Indains-you almost wiped them off the planet."
So, as i listen to the hype of Obama and Hillary, i always ask myself this; How and in which way will either one of these candidates wean the power of the " machine " back to the Aboriginal Elders of this Turtle Island? They possibly could not. They could never bring their selves to acknowledge the fact that the constutuin was based on the Iruquis confederacy. If they would even consider this notion, it would be extremly detrimental to politics and would turn the basis of the political scene upside down. Which would in turn, start a new wave of politics, debates and business, that-however would be decided by the elders of this continent.
Which brings me to the point of tribal elections and bullshit. We always hear the word sovereighnty thrown about like fried bread. I wish these ignorant candidates would stop usinf the "s" word and call it for what it is - "controlled."
I currently live in Northern un-minnesota, in the northeastern part of the Leech Lake reservation boundary. I am not a member of this reservation, but I am a member of the un-minnesota chippewa tribe.
Let's think in real terms: The #1 income source for most of minnesota's chippewa tribes is gaming revenues or casino monies. Now, if we really want to enforce our sovereightny, we will cut the state out of our negotiation processes regarding the Indian gaming regulatory act which was passed in 1992. We will express our concerns that we have no voting right in congress and that we are not represented. This issue has been discussed and procedures have been put in place, but where the results are and where they are going is news to me.
If we want to be sovereign, than we need to shut the hell up and act like it. So what if we piss osme white senators and legislators off, they have been pissing on our elders for damn near 600 years. If we are soverign, than we need to act like it. Let's begin to instill this attitude in our youth and develop this movement in the schools. Wait, here on the leech Lake reservation, there is a bureau of indian education (b.i.e) that needs to cater to the funding of the federal dollars that control the rules, governing council(school board) and faculty and administration. Let's get rid of the funding source, tell the feds that we don't want our kid's mind's remote controlled by the b.i.e and take the school back. But the blind will continue to lead the blind.
Tribal politics and Spirituality have no connection. What the Tribal political scens have evolved into is a program that is like social securty and health care, it has morphed into a siphon that keeps the tribal community's crippled and relying on the same programs, deceptions and banking systems that keep the status quo.
Damn! Where and the hell are the old warriors??? Perhaps dead, washed up, retired and bonded by administartional trauma and ailments.
I jus recently attended a dinner for a tribal person who is running for the Leech Lake chairman. It was a good community relations tool, but it was a huge phisod and joke. The individuals who are running told the same old thngs and same old bullshit. Nothing new. I had to bite my tongue and be respectful to my wife and her relatives. I did however mention to my inlaws that if i was one of them men standing there i would have stood up and said " as a nomonee for the tribal council position, the first thing that I would do as tribal chairman is to burn the church down in this community."
Very harsh and looked upon bu my inlaws as inconsiderate and very, very distasteful. To be honest, it has happend on the Red alke reservation in a community called Ponemah. Some of the old Traditionalist got sick of what the church was doing and what it's real purpose was and some young warriors got together and burned the only church down. However, just recenlty when i attended the Ponemah Labor day walk/run i noticed that thier was a new church. I wonder how long it will last? Probably for while because thier are quite a few un-christians inhabiting Ponemah.

An Aboriginal For President part 1

What if we had an Aboriginal member for president..... We could than tax every second, third, fourth, etc. generation of people who came here illegally. What about illegal immigrants? This on the national front is a joke. It is deviated from most of the Euro-American peoples frame of mind. What the hell, they conquered this turtle island and they do not have to worry about the true history of this continent because they write it. What would an aboriginals frame of mind be towards the budget? They would start new schools that would not enforce the different social classes. They would set an agenda to have every piece of mineral extracted from this land-compensated to the hereditary chiefs of this land and their people. Than they could send the people back to their homelands who did not want to stay. What about the military? They would incorporae the elders who are deemed fit to be an elder, than obey thier guidlines and wisdom. War? That would be left up to the women. The budget? Shut every federal department down for a year, give everyone a paid leave of absence and hound out the shadow government. Than, the president and their messengers could really start new. Who wants government reform?

Coming Home-A Reality Connection PT.2

Coming home, means a lot to me. When I return home I see most of the population taking the community for granted. It is a community with all the signs of a metropolitan area; in the sense of a lack of community awareness, isolated frames of mind, food that is brought into the community, no frame of mind for gardens, etc. This is really sad, because in my community's past, this was unheard of. It was a thriving community, full of the hustle and bustle of grandparent involvement, visiting, storytelling, moccasin makers, elders who policed the community. Now, the elders who posess fluency in aboriginal languages are used for that knowledge by Spiritual guru's, who, outnumber the passionate individuals that really strive to maintain the exisistence of any particular language. Elders do not carry the wait or clout they did some time ago. Young people lack the knowledge of aboriginal languages vitalness and also lack the adacity to even begin to care about the languages rate of survival. With out aboriginal language their ceases to exist the true meaning of spirituality from any particular culture's identity. The sense of spirituality in every decision that is made in the community is thrown out the window. This idea scares the hell right out of the non-spiritual beings. Because then, they would not only have to change their lifestyles, they would have to get religious. And, sometimes, maybe, religion isn't for everyone, all Iknow is that it is a nessecity. So, returning home feels like I am amongst zombies and ghouls. If only I could unleash the curse's they personify and omit. However, like most of the zombie movies that are out there, I am the one the zombies are attracted to, whether they realize it or not. A zombie does not care how it survives, it needs to survive by following the source of energy that is the closest with in it's parameter. Anything that is not closely related to the zombies state of being is considered either a threat or food for it's survival. This is how I keep my sanity amongst the masses, I have to see them for what they really are; selfish, walking around aimlessly and looking for other victims to add to thier populations. They walk around most of the time starving-starving for that attention they don't give a ratt's ass about. All they want to do is consume, digest and get rid of that piece of flesh who can help them to humanity. I sit here and wait........trying to strategize and course my next move, looking for the other survivors amongst the rooftops..........
