Our nations and our tribes longevity is in the hands of our children.
All of the politics keeping us from growing, all of the devices created to stifle us as a people and the tactics used to divide and conquer could be turned up side down if our egos wasn't so great.
We need to get out of our own way and unite as indigenous Americans.
An attack on you, an attack on your tribe, on your nation is in actuality an attack on your children because without you what chance do they stand. They will become easy prey.
Our future will only be possible through our children and as great and wonderful as you think your child is, he or she can't do everything by themselves. Can you?
My child just like yours have the ability to be the greatest scientist, greatest Dr, inventor etc, but no matter how great they are individually they can't do everything by themselves.
Why am I so involved in world and domestic affairs, politics and poli-tricks concerning Indigenous Peoples?
I am involved in these things so our children will have land, natural resources and wildlife and so they can experience a unity among each other to be able to do the things necessary for the survival of our people.
Our children makes up our people so this is for my children, your children, our children. Without them, we would cease to exist.
What parent wouldn't do this for their children? If you are a protective loving parent you will do whatever it takes to ensure not only your childs survival but you will also make sure their future is secured financially.
We are the ones on the front line fighting the good fight for the rights of our people so they can have a better tomorrow.
After we are gone and the fight continues, it will be our children leading in ways we are doing today and hopefully better.
The Creator gave us the planet so we would take care of it as it takes care of us and pass it to our children and our children's children and our children's children, etc..
At the rate we are going, people will be dying and dropping like flies from diabetes , heart attack, cancer and more.
We are already dropping at alarming rates. This is not our true culture doing this to us but we made it our culture.
Are you not concerned with your children and your grandchildren and their children?
Children are more obese than ever before. Adults are on alcohol and drugs and depending on government handouts.
Its selfish to just think about yourself today and not think about your future generations, your descendants.
Suppose our great great great grandparents, great great, great and grandparents thought that way about us? What shape would we be in today?
If we don't teach our children who they are, they will continue to be trapped in this death cultural cycle of disease and poverty.
If we have our cultural identity, land, resources, business, self education and financial independence, we can ensure the growth of our nation, tribes and communities.
It starts at home first then reflected outside through action.
This is a call for the Native nations to establish a date & time to finally come together as one voice instead of scattered whispers.
Your willingness too start a dialogue will be taken as the start of a United Native America.
I believe many chiefs from different nations do have the ability to work together.
I also believe there are some natives who don't want this to happen.
Your response will be greatly appreciated and will be proof of your willingness to take a stand (together) for a United Indigenous America.This letter is not a plan of action, its a call to action.
The only thing I hope to gain out of this is for our Chiefs to talk, establish brotherhood, comradery and a nation to nation relationship.
If there's anything else to evolve out of the meeting of the minds, that will be between tribal councils. I look forward to your response.
