The integrity of keeping the sacred realm of the natural order of life was always on a Chiefs mind. Never wanting to upset any type of balance to any eco-system.
Mind you that Hereditary Chiefs in this day and age do not posses the virtue, love, compassion and respect that they did in the past. This is not to say that our Hereditary Chiefs of today are weak minded and self serving. The problems lie within our people as a whole and our compromised belief system in today's modern world.
For centuries, Red America has been bombarded by the Euro-centric value system as a whole. From the legislation procesess to the everyday business practice that governs our day to day lives.
You ever ask your self WHY? Why has our people accepted the 9-5 job systems and WHY- isn't anyone seeing this madness and saying anything. The systems we have been forced to live in has been prescribed to all of us and the hillbilly white people from the queen of England many centuries ago. The first corporation ever set up in North America was the Hudson bay company. You have to ask yourself - "what happened to all of our fur bearing relatives due to the business practice of the Hudson bay company?" And than, we see some of our tribes try and have "CORPORATE" style business practices. How is a child not to grow up being business orientated and self serving. Sounds like tribal officials right??
As our people have been trying to survive and "get along" they have indoubtably accepted many eurocentric(Euro-American-my term) ideas, values and beliefs over many decades. These value systems have entered our children s minds and hearts, through different avenues and transmission lines in the name of modern day education, health and economics.
