DO YOU THINK LIKE A COLONIZER

Greko-Roman "Europeans" refer to their land as (Fatherland)

Indigenous people around the world choose to say (Motherland)

Greko-Roman "Europeans" refer to their Ancestors as (Forefathers).....
their mothers are usually of less importance

Indigenous people simply just say (Ancestors)....
including both Maternal and Paternal

Greko-Roman "Europeans" say after your 3rd or 4th cousin, all else is distant... almost like non relatives

Indigenous people say all of their blood kin are relatives, are family and not capped at any number. Even the plants, animals and heavenly body's are family.

Greko-Roman "Europeans" usually claim their future generations no further than their grandchildren and great-grandchildren because you(Greko-Roman) could possibly still be alive to see your great grandchildren...

.....in other words you have to somehow be involved, be around, be present, somehow benefit from it or be able to put your hands on it in order for you to do something for them because in the long run, it's benefiting you....in your present time.

Seven generations into the future, you won't be there so in your mind, who cares that far into the future.

Indigenous people plan to the 7th generation knowing full well they will have passed away long before even the 4th or 5th generation are even born into existence.

This requires Indigenous Selflessness versus European Selfishness.

Selfish is only thinking now, Selfless is thinking future.

Greko-Roman European descent say we are saved through technology

Indigenous people say our current technology will be humanities downfall.

Looks like mother earth is agreeing with the indigenous people on this matter after the climate control failures, greenhouse gas emissions, oil spills on land and water, GenX and PFAS contamination of our water ways with airborne emissions contaminating animals, gardens and wells.

Even after Indigenous protest and our explanations of the dangers of pipelines, people of European descent close a blind eye to Indigenous peoples words, to their protest and bulldoze the land anyway, burying pipelines all over the place, even sacred places while their representatives and Politicians talk about how safe it is and creating jobs then later down the road finding out that everything the indigenous peoples said came true just like Standing Rock.

Every pipeline leaks and has leaked just like the water protectors said.

Europeans believe in defacing sacred lands to carve out their faces in mountains...

Indigenous people try and protect such areas from things like this.

The Black Hills is sacred Sioux land.....what did the conquring Greko-Roman European occupiers do, they carved their FOREFATHERS faces into the sacred Black Hills which overlooks the Lakota people as a reminder of your conquerors and your defeat.

In Rhode Island you steal land and build a major university on it called Brown University.

In North Carolina, you drive farm equipment over our land and plow the remains of our ancestors. You did this everywhere you stepped foot on the ground.

Indigenous people honor their older people and the elders had power in the community while....

... Greko-Roman older people are looked at as an inconvenience, "please die already" nuisance... Ready to be shipped to a rest home.

The modern way of life has made it almost impossible to take care of yourself, your family and care for your aged parents and grandparents so rest homes becomes necessary in some cases just to make sure the loved one is getting proper medical care.

Indigenous people and Europeans views of world, politics, family and sustainability are as different as Coca-Cola and Orange juice.

They're both drinks and they both contain acid but one of the acids is naturally occurring in nature which is the orange while the other acid is manufactured in a plant which is the Coca-Cola.

One comes from a Plant (building) while the other comes from a Plant (earth plants).

One HEALS and the other KILLS

White man tells the Indian to relocate to another land and live or we will take the land and you will die,

Indian says, to be disconnected from our land is already death

White man says, when your heart stops beating and you're put 6ft under in the ground that's when you're really dead.

Indian says as long as the drum beats, my heart beats, as long as we sing and dance my heart beats and as long as earth mother is here, my heart beats, so good luck with that and to us nothing truly does, it changes & transforms.

White man says, you don't believe you can die chief?

Indian says, sure I can because I agreed to. If you kill me it's because I agreed to go. In battle there's always the chance of death.  I'm ok with this reality but remember this.... I'll be back.

White man says, what the hell. You a crazy one ain'tcha

Indian says, that's the difference in our thinking and yours because we are apart of the circle of life.

We are apart of the great circle sphere or spirit so when you put us in the ground our heartbeat transforms & synchronizes into the collective consciousness of Earth mother's heartbeat and universal consciousness.

We don't die, we multiply and yes I may be a little crazy because in my mind I want to believe you can change but in my heart I feel you won't because you choose not to.

White man says, think about your children and your grandchildren, they will be dead if you don't relocate.  

Are you thinking about your children? Just give up the land without a fight. You can't win.

Indian says, we always think of our children and grandchildren all the way up to seven generations ahead of ourselves because to only think of ourselves in the present is selfish, you know, kinda like the way you think.

We are always thinking about our old people, our babies, our mothers and all of our people and we don't do this out of obligation, we do this because it's the right thing to do.

With all that you have done to us, our proof is in the fact that we are having this conversation right at this very moment; we still exist because of our thinking and way of life.

We Indigenous First Peoples think circular while you Europeans think linear.

We dance in a circle counter clockwise and clockwise while you Square dance, instead of your dance having a natural flow, you have corners and angles which impedes the flow of energy.

Whiteman greets eachother with what you fear the most, Hell, as in Hello. And you know what, Hell is low.

Indian People are learners...in a state of perpetual forward motion, growth and evolution in sync with earth mother. We look inward to connect to spirit.

Whiteman loves to explore by looking out from himself and his evolution is built on the backs of those considered inferior.

Indian explores by going within to better understand without

Whitemans word is only good on paper like your Contracts and your contracts are really CONTRAPS because you trap us by contract and keep us in this slavery system which is hidden in plain sight.

Indians word is good when spoken.

The power of our word is brought to life through our actions

Your words have been lies and your actions, deceit.

So with your history of lies and deceit, this shows how differently we think..  .  .

.........and all of a sudden I suppose to take you as the truth and authority about race, ethnicity, spirituality and religion, democracy and all things righteous....I don't think so.

All of your technological advances and genetically engineered foods have made the peoples health poor and morale low.

Indians greet eachother by saying peace in our various tongues

Whiteman needs a building...to be in the presence of God. Your place has walls. It's a confinement.

Indians only needs to be in the present. Our building is nature. Our place has no borders, no walls.

White man wants his woman to be quiet and speak only when spoken to.

Indian women are leaders of nations and speak when they feel like speaking

White man says babies are created and born without instructions

Indian says we have instructions called Clan system, The Great Law of Peace and our Elders.

Again, Our blood relatives are limitless....

...while yours relatives aren't claimed after 3rd or 4th cousin and you call them distant.

You waste food: restaurants & grocery stores throw away food all the time... (You should give it to the hungry).

Indians don't waste food. It's disrespectful and inhuman

Banks shred money all the time to make place for new printed money (you should give it to the poor)

Indians don't teach the concept of wealth. We prefer value in words, deeds and actions.

You take what's free and abundant and charge money to have it (water & air should be free).

You take a nontoxic plant (tobacco) and say it kills, then you add toxins to it so it can really do what you said it will do and then charge outrageous medical bills for treatment of something you caused in the first place.

The Indians have PLANTS but so does the whiteman.

Our Plant is our medicine

Your Plant manufactures pills that you call your medicine

Earth mother produces our Plants which has roots and leaves

Man produces your Plants which are buildings that produces pollution which destroys the soil our plants grow in.

The natural, real human being lives in harmony with nature and being one with nature helps understand, protect and appreciate nature.

•It's the snakes nature to strike.

•It's the Scorpions nature to sting.

•Its the Wolf's nature to bite.

•It's the Bears nature to protect its young.

•It's man's nature to understand the nature of all things to be a better protector of nature.

You come from a land across the the water where it's natural for you to dominate, subjugate and own everything.

You own women, people and land;

Women are your property that's why you give them away during marriage to become the property of another man called husband.....

Some  men even pay the dad a dowry for the daughter. She's bought and sold
.....( dowry is payment for the transfer of merchandise or property)

.....you own people and their generations via enslavement.....
.......you subdue, conquer and own the land(that's not yours, you stole)

You brag about conquering the world and you feel it's your God given right because of Gen 1:28

....... fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth

The Indian doesn't own any living thing outside of himself. He owns his words, deeds and actions. This makes the Indian a responsible human being.

You Greko-Roman even own the creator by making creator into a male and one who looks just like you. You assigned a gender to the Great Mystery so this concept is your creation.

You create false images and pictures to make sure we know it's your likeness on the images and how you and creator are one in the same.

Indian says, creator is the great mystery.... No Indian can claim what they don't know. We know we are a part of creator in this great circle which connects the 4Directions into a constant flow.

Creator can be any being in the great circle. An animal, insect or even a plant.

Today the whitemans manmade plants are terraforming the planet and all living beings.

Mans mind is being Mined,
Mans body is being Manufactured

Man today does not act like a real human being.
He acts MAN•U•FRACTURED (UnNatural)

Earth is for Natural beings who are stewards, caretakers, cultivators and protectors.

UnNatural people poison our air, water, land and our body's because it's not yours and if you can't have it then none can have it..

Indian says to the whiteman,  you are truly a master of conquering and subduing all beings.

When you finally conquer and subdue your ego, we will have this talk again.

To turn the UnNatural being into a Natural one, you will need to conquer your ego first.

Then realize the spark or flame that exist in all human beings.

Pilot is a flame.
When your flame is low, give it a blow(this oxygen helps protect the flame)

Pilot is a flame or (Leader)
Flame is (fire)
Fire is Life

Indian said Fire gives life but the

Whiteman uses fire to take lives.

Your bombs are full of atomic & nuclear fire.

The natural persons Solar Plexus (fire) is the center, bringing balance
to the rest of the body while the heart balances all of your energetic systems which can be found in your chakras.

The Solar Plexus is the Leader, Pilot, Flame and Fire.......

Be who your ancestors created you to be. Aspire to Inspire.

Keep Planting Seeds, mentally, spiritually, physically and Learn to become a Responsible Human Being.

Learning is a process that's required to

evolve into a better Human being.

Indigenous Massacres of Turtle Island

What you're looking at in the pictures is the area where the U.S. Colonial Europeans in 1713 engaged in a three day seige of Fort Neoheroka where they murdered Indigenous people by burning Babies, Children & Women(pregnant and old women), they were burned them alive and of course the men were murdered too...& they sold whoever they could capture into slavery.

At the end of the third day, almost a thousand had been massacred.

 This is the single largest killing in a particular battle, of all the Indian Wars, more killed than Wounded Knee which was another tragic massacre later on in 1890.

From  the 1713 Tuscarora massacre, the Colonial Europeans continued this same act of genocide for 177 more years which was the year of 1890 the Wounded Knee massacre..

During the 1713 Fort Neoheroka Massacre, some of our people escaped, we hid in the swamps while some relocated after the war in 1714 up north in Pennsylvania & New Jersey  among the Lenni Lenape and six Nations in New York.

The Ramapough Lenape Indian Nation claim descent from the Lenape, whose regional bands included the Hackensack, Tappan, Rumachenanck/Haverstroo, Munsee/Minisink, and Ramapo people and they also claim descent from Tuscarora bloodlines.

When I asked Chief Perry if this was correct, he agreed.

The archeologist C.A. Weslager noted that the Delaware were joined in the eighteenth century by some migrating Tuscarora families migrating from the Carolinas. 

They were welcomed by the Algonquin-speaking Lenni Lenape tribe who were being pushed west from New York City into western New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 

Most of the Tuscarora never left North Carolina because leaving our traditional homeland was not an option. 

I know this because I'm a direct descendant still living on our land and I'm not even close to being alone. 

Contrary to some false reports, lies, ignorance and colonial minded Indians who act more like their colonial father's than Real Indian People, we are still here in the Carolinas, deep. 

Don't try to count us because we are too numerous to count but you can count on us to step up and be who creator created us to be.

Thousands of us here in North Carolina living in different communities, relearning our language, ceremonies, etc, honouring our ancestors through our resilience and determination to be free people.

We are scattered from the Piedmont to the coast and you'll even find us in the Mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina and New York.

The theft and enslavement of Indigenous people in North America started with my ancestors in one of the earliest Indian-white conflicts occurring along the Cape Fear River in the 1660s when colonists of Clarendon County kidnapped some Cape Fear Indian children. 

In retaliation, we forced the colony to abandon the region. No other permanent white settlement was made along the lower Cape Fear for nearly half a century.

 A few years later, in 1675, Virginia Indians urged the Chowan tribe to drive the English colonists from the Albemarle settlements. 

This the Chowan attempted, but both sides were so evenly matched that the conflict dragged on for two years. 

The Chowan were defeated only when a ship loaded with arms and ammunition arrived to supply the colonists.

Around 30 years later would mark the time of the Ft. Neeharooka massacre of the Tuscarora.

These Indian massacres started in 1500's specifically, 1539 between the resisting Timucuan warriors & Hernando de Soto in the Napituca Massacre of Florida.

They continued through the 1600's in Virginia and Massachusett:

The 1640 with the Paspahegh Massacre of Virginia

The 1622 Powhatan(Pamunkey) 

Jamestown Massacre, Virgina

The 1623 Wessagusset Massacre, Massachusetts

The 1637 Wethersfield Attack and Mystic Massacre of the Pequot

The 1877 Battle of the Big Hole, Montana all the way to;

The 1911 Last Massacre when an American posse killed some Shoshone in Nevada.

There has been close to 200 massacres of Indigenous people since the Colonial invasion started that sparked some major Eastern Woodland wars; the King Philips war, Powhatan war, Tuscarora war, Yamassee war and the Seminoles war.

Many of us are still fighting to this very day for autonomy, for land, for water, for family, fighting to exist, fighting for culture and for earth mother.

CAN YOU HEAR ME

DID YOU KNOW:

The king ordered all (Colonial American)owners to free their Indian slaves (c1752). 

The loss of their slaves, however, would have devastated the plantations, and so the owners simply tried to turn us Black. 

How could you trick the Royal crown into believing an eastern woodland Indian is black?

Simple, Geovanni de Verranzo said it in his letter to King Francis that the Indians along the Cape Fear looked like Ethiopians. 

John Lawson and Christopher von Graffenried also said this about the natives of this region then in later years, the 1800's this was taken to an even higher level through the lies, deception  and paper genocide by Walter Ashby Plecker.

This happened to be the case up the east coast.....and because of this, the  Colonial deception began.

Did you know after the Emancipation Proclamation, thousands of Indians walked off the cotton fields along with the Blacks?

The relationship between the Indian people and the local and federal governments has always been an adversarial one. 

The Federal government was the adversary to blacks and Indians while blacks and Indians were allies.

Role reversal: today many Indians have befriended the government who tried to destroy them while making blacks the new enemy; even making natives who are copper complexion and dark brown their enemies to the point of disowning family members to make sure they're in good standing with the government.... don't want to lose those little benefits.

At the request of the federal government, one drop of black blood disqualifies you from being a friend of the government or a ward, a domestic Indian or the word they would rather I use, RECOGNIZED...by Fed & State.

Fear of land lawsuits (and recently gambling) has caused many elected officials to deny our existence. 

The federal and state laws were amended to guarantee Blacks the same freedoms as Whites. 

This has never been done for Indians....

Indian People today who still fit the above description get the worst treatment from not only  people of European descent but also African Americans, white skinned, light skinned and Spanish looking indians.

Not all but many treat us disrespectfully. Whites say we don't exist because we don't look like the TV indians, Afrocentrics say you are Africans, embrace mother Africa and Spanish looking natives say stop claiming their culture.....WTF...are you kidding?

Nope, I don't look like Hollywood. Very few of us do on the east coast.

Plus Geovanni de Verranzo didn't describe Hollywood in his letter to King Francis did he. 

Many of my cousins look white and spanish but they are as Indigenous as I am and I as they are. We have the same grandparents and other relatives so they are my family.

As a whole, we are the only people in this country that must prove who we are, and we are the most regulated people in America today! I'm talking about all natives and the darker you are the worse it gets.

Indigenous people were not even allowed to become citizens until 1924, and worse still, Indian graveyards were not protected until 1987.

The relationship between blacks & Indians is one of the best kept American secrets.

Walter Ashby Pecker, I mean Plecker, the famed white supremacist...

After helping win passage in
1924 of a strict race classification and anti-miscegenation law 
called the Racial Integrity Act,

Plecker engaged in a zealous campaign to prevent what he 
considered “destruction of the white or higher civilization.” 
When he perceived Indians as threats to enforcing the color line,

he used the tools of his office to 
endeavour to crush native Americans and deny their existence. 

He wrote us out of existence with his pen which in this day and age is mightier than the sword.

Many Western tribes experienced government neglect during the 20th century, but the Virginia 
story was different: The Indians were consciously targeted for mistreatment. 

Plecker changed racial labels on vital records to classify Indians as “colored,” investigated the 
pedigrees of racially “suspect” citizens, and provided information to block or annul interracial 
marriages with whites. 

He testified against Indians who challenged the law.

He also targeted known Indian surnames to make them colored on record instead of indian.

30 states passed similar legislation. NC & SC followed Virginia's lead in misclassifying indians.

Many families were destroyed and split in half & fractured due to this and today many are surfing the waves of paper trails left behind by these racist government officials, departments with their policies and laws to reclaim their ancestry, reunite with relatives and right the many wrongs committed by bad people.

Racial relations, hate, distrust & confusion is so intertwined in the fabric of American culture that now indians discriminate against themselves leaving many Indian tribes stuck and non-progressive.

INSTEAD OF 10 INDIANS SPEAKING ON ONE TOPIC, ALL TOO OFTEN 10 WILL SPEAK ON 10 DIFFERENT THINGS....

THIS CREATES CHATTER, ARGUMENTS & CONFUSION.

END RESULT,  NOTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED  

The east coast was the first to make European contact, specifically the Carolina tribes.. 

From the beginning of first contact, they stole our women, men & children and shipped them to the West Indies & Europe.

Later came the stealing of land and people which resulted in many wars between indians and the whites.

Today 2017-18, almost 500 years later from a history of fighting, slavery, intermarrying, mixing, trading and again fighting with the French, English, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italians, African Moors, Asians, etc..

....all of this almost 500 years later, isn't it common sense that we will have a diverse make up, looking different because of all of the different racial groups we had contact with resulting in some of us looking light & almost white, some looking brown, light brown, dark brown, reddish brown, tan, tawny, copper, yellowish....all with legitimate native American ancestral lineage?

This doesn't exclude the  colonials who had children by native women to place them in the tribal leadership positions to lead the tribe as a European would for the purpose of land acquisition or those who bought their way into Indian tribes for a few dollars again for acquiring land, stealing it.

Yes this really happened. This is also real documented and verified American history. 

Everyone whose ever landed on the Atlantic shore and mixed in with the natives, became what the natives were.

If an African mixes into a native American tribe, the tribe doesn't become African, the African becomes what the dominant culture is.

The same goes for Irish and so on.

Today we wear many faces showing our diversity and our pain because what created this diversity came at a huge cost because we are fragmented, lost and individualistic today, but....

Standing Rock is proof that we still have it in us to be great.

Many Indian nations coming together is proof of that.

I see the water protectors, "Se_be-' be' nieye hii_da", Ancient Immovable Indian Warrior Spirit, in the Dakotas fighting the NoDAPL....

Florida fighting the SABAL TRAIL PL and North Carolina fighting NoACPL ContaMyNation.

I see this ancient warrior spirit in all the mothers raising their children to be real men & women when so much is in opposition to you. 

I see it in fathers being father's to their children like my father was and is to me. My father Lovell Pierce is the greatest man I know and I'm honoured to bear his name as my own.

I only hope that these words cause you to pause a few minutes out of your hectic lives to THINK & consider the possibilities of reducing the chatter a little so we can be heard because under all of the chatter is a voice.

I hear it everytime someone sings & drums so I know we have one. 

Keep in mind, On the drum there's no chatter, only music even though there's a group of people speaking at the same time. 

Also remember, you can't control or dictate how your DNA decides you will come out looking when you're born.

With Europeans (Spanish, French, English, Irish), Middle Eastern ( Jew, African-Moor) and Asian-Mongols floating around in our DNA, there's no telling how you might come out looking. 

You will usually look like your parents but not always, not 100% of the time. You may show a trait, characteristic or something from one of the above ethnicities but does that make you a non native if you and your traceable ancestors have been here before the time of European arrival?

Of course not but this is the game the Colonial Racist Powers play to keep us separated, fragmented, weak and individualistic.

In-Divid-U-All ( individual ) = Weak 

Conclusion:

1. Everything has been made black and white by those who control all of our lives.

2. Black lives matter BLM says no one cares about black lives.

3. All lives matter is people saying they are under the boot of tyranny too but no one cares because BLM gets all of the media attention.

4. Certain entities have a vested interest in Black lives matter being in front of Native Americans lives matter, Hispanic Lives matter, Asian Lives matter, etc etc etc...

5. This make it look like one groups problems are more important than the others....now people are turning on each other and this is fueled via media.

6. Division is the goal and the goal is being met.

7. You are either a player in this game, a spectator cheering for one side over the other or the owner who writes the paychecks thus controlling the lives of everyone involved.

8. Black Lives Matter uses the history of slavery to show a relation between todays OFFICERS & yesterdays OVERSEERS.

9. Few Facts you may not know so look it up. It's public knowledge, just not public school knowledge. 

-Native American Slavery existed before African slavery....decimation, genocide, theft, rape, sold and shipped to west indies, reclassified,  renamed and the fact that you have to keep mentioning this to Americans seems fucking redundant ...

-Blacks (African & European Black Moorish royalty) owned white slaves. Yes, white people were slaves at one time in history(look it up).

-Africans sold Africans to other Africans and Africans sold Africans to White Europeans for profit, into slavery...it was business.

-African Moors was just as brutal to white slaves as Whites were to Africans....why aren't we taught this in school.

-Your controllers need you to be ignorant to this so they can remain being your controller.

-Native Americans trying hard to be like their white and black oppressors started getting involved in this lucrative business of selling other natives.

-Converting to white peoples religion and getting in on the slave trade business, some Natives thought this would make them equal to the whites...Wrong.

-White people had something called "Manifest Destiny"  & "The Doctrine Of Discovery" given and divinely ordained by the Pope which made every non white, non Christian human on the planet an inferior species suitable for either enslavement or extermination.

10. If everyone knew these facts and this is only scratching the surface, maybe you wouldn't be so judgemental towards each other, so ready to kill in the name of whatever God you believe in, whatever religion you practice and maybe you'll have more compassion & empathy for other humans.

Truth is there's an enemy to humanity out here that truly exist and one of the enemy's many strategies is to pray on the small-narrow-closed minded, bigoted, privileged human beings by programming them through television PROGRAMS, MEDIA & SCRIPTURE to live their lives controlled by the reptilian brain of survival mode, tribalism and every man for themselves. 

It's obvious that this strategy is working because no one seems to be able to understand the others pain and frustration, racism and prejudice is still prevalent and religion is dividing more than it is uniting.

The world is a mess.

If a dog is beaten and caught on camera, you will have so much compassion for the dog (and you should) and outrage toward it's abuser but if a black person is gunned down by a sworn to protect officer, you automatically assume the officers response was probably justified.

You will actually look for justifications or hope there's a just reason for the killing. This is a problem but you want to know what another problem is, it's when your world leaders or world Bankers finance anarchy, finance media to sway opinions to get people in a frinzzy thinking that if you are the opposite race, color or religion then you are the enemy....

this leads to more police being on edge, more blacks feeling like their lives are no more important than a mosquito that's swatted, hispanic lives, Asian Lives and lower to middle class white lives are less important & Native Americans lives are not even counted among any of the lives that matter.

Native Americans are a constant reminder that Christians were just like Islamic extremist at one point in history.

Natives are an eye sore and thorn in the ass of America because the American leadership says America is the greatest place on earth but when you see natives on reservations looking like third world countries this says America isn't the greatest. 

Natives are also gunned down by authority figures, suffer some of the highest life style diseases, can't speak the language of their nations or either it's dying out & on the east coast many don't even know who they are because of racial reclassification, etc., etc., etc. (The only human who has to prove their nationality-wow).

See, before there was a westward expansion, we had to deal with the eastern Atlantic invasion which eventually led to the westward expansion(a few of my western brothers and sisters seem to forget that).

If our western brothers and sisters can't have compassion for the rape of our ancestors on the east coast but you say you are all about Indigenous people, then you are living a lie, speaking out of both sides of your mouth, sounding like a  colonial. Please don't be like that.

Reading this and the average white response is, "the Indians are better off then they were before we settled here because now they have reservations, casinos, have access to grants and they get monthly checks from the federal government".

You would think the government is looking out for native people with their best interest at heart....NOPE.

Did you know that a strategy to take this land free and clear under the nose of the British  crown was to kill off many elders (because they knew too much) and kill the warriors (because they could rebel and mess up the plan)....once they are out of the way,  we (White Colonials) will take  Indian women, have children by them, teach them our ways and customs and become leaders in the tribe. The tribe will become ours.

Many chiefs today look more European then not. One Oklahoma chief even spoke about his close ties to his Irish ancestors.

The point I'm making is, everyone on this dirt has a story of oppression and death.  The world powers make you think that you are the only one with a story so you in your mind become more important than the stories that's swept under the rug which belongs to the rest of the people in America. 

These people who are swept under becomes upset that their story isn't heard....then the different groups square off at each other saying the most hateful things and even erupting into violent clashes. All of this is increased by biased and targeted media coverage. 

Then politicians create new things based off of the anarchy which is either more taxation and less freedom.

The key is understanding each other's story. We all have one. If you ignore my story then you become part of the problem. If we face each other's story head on then we become part of the solution.

The only other possible outcome is humanities self destruction and possible extinction.

I can't fault the many mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters of a sibling or a child who's gotten killed in the streets... 

I can't fault these individuals for joining organizations like black lives matter because they're operating on pure emotion and loss and the reasons behind them protesting or joining any organization like that is not a political one, it's not to sway a demographic or influence people to vote democrat or republican, parents join these groups to bring light to the loved one that they lost.

Now the organization founders may have hidden agendas and according to some authorities it seems like they may have hidden agendas but too often people confuse the hidden agendas of organization founders with people who have actually experienced real loss. 

The organization founders with hidden agendas are usually backed by some government agency with thousands of dollars to fund the organization and the government alphabet agency usually has hate mongers and people who like to stir up confusion embed throughout these organizations.

Again all too often people are quick to rush to judgment and blame everyone involved with the organization as having the same goal and same agenda but like i said before many of the parents and siblings involved in these organizations are experiencing loss and are operating on pure bereavement even if the loss happened 10 years ago or longer. 

You never get over a loss and it is always an emptiness that's there and the world leaders know how to tap in to this emptiness to trigger that emotion.

Imagine if you are a parent and today got a phone call saying your child is dead. What would you do? How would you act? Casual? Broken and beaten? How ?

The black community should make it a point to understand that white kids are dying too. 

Native Americans are hardly ever mentioned and hispanic kids are looked at as light skinned niggas.

I'm not going to quote numbers and statistics because many of these numbers continue to divide people because the data doesn't accurately reflect what's going on in this country. 

Look, since The Invasion of Turtle Island this continent has become a Melting Pot of many ethnic groups, it has become extremely diverse so that means there's many cultural differences and people are going to think differently however regardless of your cultural upbringing if you do not have empathy for all of those who are different from you then you are a major part of the problem you are protesting against, voting against and arguing about.

I'm usually positive and optimistic.
I'm optimistic that my training and awareness will get me further than most because i know Walmart can't help me in the case of a potential economic collapse but indigenous, primitive, prepper and Combative training might be the insurance I need. 

My honest advice to all of you is to start learning survival skills. Combatives, food and shelter.
These television programs and movies playing these days are prepatory tools for those who get it......got it.....good.

Prepare for the worst but hope for the best. ...
Better to be over prepared.

Chief Eagle Elk

I AM SAVAGE

My name is Lovell Pierce Jr., EagleElk aka FireWalker. Some of my friends know me as Amur.

I was given my name by a Tuscarora Elder and Seer, Ted SilverHand, who said because of my spiritual vision , lofty message, leadership and ability to use my body as a complete weapon that I was given this name.

Tsalagi White Wolf, a Cherokee Elder Woman and Seer also told me that I belonged to the Bear Clan who are healers and teachers of nature's medicine. She also said that's  why I'm drawn to teaching survival, combat and natural medicine.

The Bear appears gentle while being one of America's most fierce Woodland dwellers.

Rahkwees keh, the Pipe Carrier of the Tuscarora people and Elder who was taught the sacred ways and ceremony by Mad Bear Anderson at Six Nations was given the instructions to teach ceremony and sacred ways to all whose willing to learn, he advised me to keep Creator front and center and to open up training classes by giving thanks and asking for protection of all students so training would be safe and successful.

Deceased Chief of Elders, Two Bears told me to continue on this path of setting the record straight and of course I said, "gladly". Two Bears is a highly respected and knowledgeable person with a genuine giving heart who I truly miss. 

Waccamaw Siouan Tribal Member and Elder Mrs. Norma, much thanks to her for talking freely to me about family values and the importance of community. 

When it comes to raising kids traditionally and teaching them how to be respectful and able to do for self, she was absolutely on point.  Thank you Mrs. Norma.

She is truly an oldschool teacher, she’s straight and direct with very little chaser which makes her a jewel because it’s coming straight from the heart, all love.

My friend, cousin and Genealogists, whose name will remain unmentioned by request who specializes in research and Indigenous law and works in the enrollment department for a local tribe did a great job with my genealogy, uncovering files that's not easily accessible too to help me connect these limitless dots of the southeast.

My friend Larry EagleHeart and his wife Mary have done genealogy for over 28 years adding me to the list of accomplishments.

My cousin and EagleHeart both encouraged me to continue with my mission of setting the RECORDS straight and are glad to have played a role in my mission of bringing our families together.

I thank my relatives Dr. Franklin Freeman PhD,  Joshua Freeman,  Luke Alexander and Keith Jacob's for their tanacity for tracking and tracing our family in the Cape Fear region and connecting our Waccamaw relatives to the line of the Chiefs in the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe and Derek Keith  who specializes in DNA and runs several DNA projects based out of Houston Texas and who is equally responsible for connecting our families among the Haliwa-Saponi, Occoneechee, Lumbee, Waccamaw, Cape Fear, Tuscarora, etc....I'm equally thankful to our other cousins and expert researchers as well.

My Elder Cousin who has passed away, Cousin Charles Ward, Waccamaw, and his wife, Baby Sis Ella Jacobs, medicine women who has also transitioned, both told me to keep doing what Im doing for the family regardless of all of those who argue, disbelieve, debate and pull you down, they said to keep doing what I’m doing.

Baby sis said they talked about her and I personally witnessed  her being called root doctor in a derogatory way all because she trusted in herbs oved pills. I’ll glady keep this path and make them proud.

Lastly my immediate family know the love I have for them is deeper then words can express.

Everything I do from talk radio, health, fitness and martial arts is 1) because I love doing it, 2) because it was needed and from all of the signs, readings and confirmations its the path I suppose to be on and lastly because I’m all about family coming together. Can’t get any simpler than that. Hate it or love.

Author Bio:

Im a 5th degree Black Belt with over 30 years of Martial Arts experience in Karate, Kung Fu, Filipino Combatives, Grappling and Native American Martial Arts Concepts.

My heritage and culture is of the Cape Fear Indians mentioned in VA, NC & SC early colonial records from both Maternal and Paternal sides of my family. We are Tuscarora (Woccon) Indians contemporarily known as Cape Fear Indians..

We are a Haudenosaunee people, Iroquois culture who have common relatives among most of the North Carolina tribes.

The Carolinas have a deep historical presence of American Indian,  Colonial and Slave history.

The first slave being Indians and later replaced by African slaves. We have Middle Easterners, Blacks and Whites who have married into our Indigenous families as early as the 1600s. This occurred up the entire Eastern seaboard with many of our people being exported and imported from the West Indies Islands.

Sometimes it was political and other times it was love, either way, today we embrace it all.

Many of us grew up disconnected from our culture, unaware of who we are only knowing bits and pieces our parents, grandparents and other older relatives would let slip out sometimes.

They didn't like talking about what they called, "family secrets" so we grew up not knowing.

However like my cousin, Rahkweeskeh, the Pipe Carrier for all Tuscarora People told me it's a must to reclaim our Indigenous Culture and honor our ancestors and Creator.

The Carolinas, specifically my area called Lake Waccamaw was a Melting pot of Indian wars, European wars, Colonial settlement  and Indian displacement.

The many Indian wars of the Carolinas is proof of this and validates the combative history of Martial arts among Native Americans.

In the early 90s, I met a Native American professional wrestler named Wahoo McDaniel who really sparked my interest in Native American Martial Arts.

We grew up wrestling as kids and now being able to put historical context with it gave the arts an all new meaning and importance to me.

Through my years of cross training and learning multiple disciplines, one of my teachers, Soke Childress "The Soke", encouraged me to step out on my own and create or re-create my own way. In his words, "Kill the Buddha".

This led me to talking with many elders, other researchers and people wanting me to succeed by gathering and reconstructing many of the combative weapons, movements and ideologies of my native ancestors in the southeast.

With the help of My Lakota brother James who is a 5th degree Black Belt, Navy Seal, Indigenous Living Editor, Survival Expert and Executive Security Expert, I've been able to recreate the art of ATASSA to represent the Woodland Native Americans and specifically the Southeastern Native Americans form of Combat.

This was not handed down to me from an elder or war chief, it was not taught to me by a warrior society or found in some mystical scrolls. Although that sounds fascinating it is highly unrealistic and false.

Atassa is the result of research, hard work, test, trials, success and failures to see what works and what doesn't work using Indigenous American concepts.

Compounded with my years of experience, we feel this is definitely an art to be proud of that represents the Indigenous First Nations People.

All arts were created the same way. By someone dedicated to personal, spiritual, mental and physical health, fitness and transcendence, MOM (mind over matter).

Also dedicated to precise ways of striking down an enemy without exerting too much energy, the protection of family, mothers, fathers, children, elders, our ways of life and our tribes. Many things went into the creation of ATASSA.

The art will continue to outgrow me as it should. I’m just reminding you that our warrior spirit is still here.

Description:

I Am Savage is not to suggest a negative connotation but serves as a window through the eyes of an oppressive regime based on the regimes claim of superiority which is also based on it's religious doctrine hence, The Doctrine of Discovery and Manifest Destiny.

The SAVAGE written about here represents everything opposite of the oppressive explorers who landed on the shores of Turtle Island.

So if the oppressors are civil then we are uncivil. If they are godly then we are ungodly but not in the sense of being anti-spiritual because we were and are a spiritual people but in the sense of rejecting their doctrine specifically because their spirituality was attached to pain, suffering and murder.

We welcomed this in the sense that,  if being godly means enslavement of women and children, committing genocide by giving innocents diseased blankets or completely destroying a human culture based on the self proclaimed superiority of a man then we welcomed being the opposite of those committing these acts.

SAVAGE became synonymous with warriors, fighters, rebels and survivors by any means necessary.

Native American Martial Arts (NAMA) existed on the American continent before European arrival. NAMA was a major part of our culture.

This book will show how combative arts was and is an intergral part of Native American Culture. It’s the origin of American Guerrilla Warfare.

This book covers speed and the illusion of speed, motion, Hicks Law, Foot work, and the philosophy of Atassa. You'll learn much more in I Am Savage.

THE LARGEST INDAN POPULATION IN THE USA

Largest Indian Population East of the Mississippi

North Carolina has the largest American Indian population east of the Mississippi River and the eighth-largest Indian population in the United States.

As noted by the 2000 U.S. Census, 99,551 American Indians lived in North Carolina, making up 1.24 percent of the population.

This total is for people identifying themselves as American Indian alone.

The number is more than 130,000 when including American Indians in combination with other Indians who are not counted or listed as Indian but have proven 1st-3rd generational indian ancestry.

The CAPE FEAR INDIANS are still here....We never left our ancient land, never signed treaties, never gave our land away, we never became extinct, we never became a people who don't exist anymore and we never will be nor do any of those things.

(Who are the Cape Fear Indians? Are they a tribe, a confederacy, a group of smaller tribes or villages?)

Does the Cape Fear territory stretch from the coast westward past Waccamaw to Lumbee and Tuscarora territory and South to Pee Dee and Little River SC and northward to Burgaw?

All of these tribes are interconnected to each other.

Colonial and tribal war caused us to retreat to the swamps which connected us and made us family.

We have a rich, fertile, deep and spiritually universal earth balancing history on Turtle Island....most don't know the martial arts part of our history which I’m obviously passionate about.

Our history for survival against colonial occupation IS MARTIAL ARTS HISTORY.

According to critics and people who just don't know what they are talking about, they are saying martial arts didn't exist here on Turtle Island either.

People who are led by ignorance are quick to say, make and create bogus articles, blogs or videos about certain tribes being extinct; some of the same ones saying things like there were no martial arts here.

Wrong, wrong, wrong....We are Proud and alive. My Grandmama said we were always here, my mama said we never left and my aunts & uncles say to keep telling the truth and shame those who love to lie.

Our graveyards and burial mounds in this region (area) of birth say differently then what people are saying about us. They are saying we died off, left, assimilated into other cultures like White and African cultures.

Well that’s true and false…..wouldn’t you like to know the complete truth on this matter.

Who else is more qualified to speak, teach or tell the truth and shame the devil other then the descendants of those you are talking about who assimilated and unassimilated into and out of the White and African cultures.

Why we assimilated, why we lived underground, why we are coming out, the loss of memory for some and blaitent disregard of family who are blood relatives by others, why we are taking a stand, why we are who we are, who we are related to, neighboring tribes who share the same ancestors but have diferent tribal names, (my great great granddad is also your great great grand dad but we are not cousins)...etc, etc, etc.....

Wouldn't you llike to know what our DNA results, genealogy results and blood results say about all us?

We have mountains of papers, (we know how people love paper work), lab results, region of origin, congressional records, recorded historical documents, tribal relatives who are accepted and confirmed by state and federal governments, genealogists, attorneys and academics who know all about us, what we are doing and have their full support.

With the advent of Paper Genocide & the Pen is Mightier then the Sword, paperwork today becomes more important than ever. For example, I've had my genealogy completed by three different sources.

It wasn't cheep but well worth it. I found out that my grandmother had a son named Tecumseh who died at 2yrs old.

My mother had no idea & never knew that grandma had a 4th child....this is valuable information for my aunts, uncles & cousins & it's priceless.

Many court houses throughout the south mysteriously caught on fire, 45 NC counties, the records departments with land deeds, identities of land owners, marriage licenses, etc...

The harm to North Carolina courthouses has a tremendous impact on genealogists in each and every way.

Not only are these types of historic buildings torn from each of our lifetimes, so are the records they stored: marriage, wills, probate, land records, among others.

Once destroyed they’re destroyed permanently. Even though they happen to have been put on microfilm, computers and film burn as well.

The most heartbreaking side of this is that the reason that almost all of our courthouses are destroyed is as a result of arson. However, not all records were lost.

A number of North Carolina counties have endured a loss of records due to courthouse fires, floods, and theft.

The first item is the county name, followed by the date of courthouse destruction, () describes what caused the destruction and if records were destroyed.

This is why some people don't know about their indigenous roots. If I have any close cousins reading this & you have questions, let me know. If you'd rather not know, that's ok too. Still love you.

Public: Of course we can't share all but we will share enough. Some things are not suppose to be shared publicly and other things are meant to spread like wild fire.

So much to share later from many teachers, lots of interviews to share with you from our area so for now here’s a TINY BIT of martial arts history from the southeast.
