Subject: RE: BS: Iroquois Regain Sacred Land
IF they do, it will be the fault of those who have treated them so badly, for so long. They had their dignity taken away a very long time ago by people who have never seen them as 'people' in the first place...

I think it's horrendously sad that some American Indians now behave as the White Man does, to be honest...but sadly, such has been the appalling influence around them, the perhaps desperate need to make money to survive, in whatever way they are able...that some have turned to the wrong things.

Alcoholism is high. Suicide is high.

Have you ever asked yourself why? Or are you so sure in your own mind that it's all the American Indians fault?

We have forgotten the meaning of Sacred. Many of their own people have too, but many have not...and they are now doing all they can possibly do to turn this greedy world around...to make people realise we are at The 11th Hour...and that we are treating Mother Earth, and each other, like absolute shite.

So, may I politely suggest that you zoom off and make some different 'marks on the road'....which lead to a far fairer and more spiritual way of life...

And you can start to learn how to do that by listening to the wisdom of Chief Oren Lyons and Floyd Red Crow Westerman:

'We Are All One'
