Barack, An Obama Part 2

It is nice to know we as the country of the USA have or should I say will have a new President. I continue to hear how Obama is inheriting many, well documented deficits and financial incompetence's along with having to surround himself with a new administration.

Now as an Aboriginal person first, I will do my part to first acknowledge that, I will hope the best for our new soon to be President and PRAY for our new president. Have I done this in the past? No. Because to me it was never even conceived in my mind to pray for a being that is so.......way out there, that it never really mattered. Now, as I become older and much more concerned for peoples well being, I will pray and hope that Barack, Michelle and the rest of the family are not infiltrated with ill-mean-greedy spirited people. Who would like to see the demise of our new elected President.

Aboriginal peoples across turtle Island have yet to celebrate our new President elect. We have occupied this country from day one. And yet, we our still yet to be fully recognized and taken seriously from the state all the way to the national levels of government. We definitely, as traditional people know that the governments that are governing our people have not worked and will never continue to work for the betterment of the individual nations. One thing I have noticed about our new president elect is the fact that, if in fact, there is going to be a change, than he will have to surround his cabinet with older, wise people, people who might not have an educational background, but know a lot about history and local economies. These people I am referring to need to be people people, not systems people. We have been lead to believe that systems and the systems that have continued to be are always the right answer for the nation as a whole. This, I hope Obama will meditate on and " get his vision-on the hill."

I think when it comes to the restructuring of our tribal governments, Obama will not only consult the original inhabitants of turtle island, but that he will take the time out to fast and seek his answers not only for the original inhabitants but the rest of the elderly and the nation.

Can the country survive with the "regular" form of government? Probably not! It has to be restructured and re looked at from the beginning of it's source; the education system. This system has changed so dramatically in the past 200 years, that we as a nation have been brainwashed into thinking that every part of "education" is good. I tend to disagree. It is too damaging and has too many parallels to the military form of education. The rule, " do as I say-or you will be put in your place and made a fool." This whole attitude and ideal has to be acknowledged and looked upon very seriously. If most people do not know the past, not only will they live their lives with false ideals and philosophies, they will continue to not understand why they are living in a country that only benefits the "educated and well to do"(A direct link)
