ELDER QUOTE OF THE WEEK

O'siyo Brothers and Sister!

The lead article in this issue is a dire warning from Arvol Looking Horse (see Message from Arvol Looking Horse), 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Nations. Chief Looking Horse did not just jump to a conclusion, but carried the events of two virgin buffalo calf births - one white, one black - into ceremony and prayed for the
truth he shares.

This is not the only prophetic view of a world in serious trouble. Many wisdom keepers from many cultures have spoken of these simple, but alarming truths.

The Christian Bible also spoke of the times that are coming. It predicted that many who need to heed the prophecy will have their hearts hardened against the truth. The price will be famine, pestilence and death.

I am not telling anyone what they must do, but I will tell you I believe those who share these prophecies are sending a true message and it is past time to remember the first instructions.

At this time of year that is Sacred to many, is it not time to call on Creator to mend our hearts and show us the path He would have us walk?

"This is a very dangerous time we are in! The minds of the people on Unc'i Maka (Grandmother Earth) are choosing to focus on a new way of life that is hurting us all in the global community. This way of life chooses war, hurting one another physically and verbally, and continued desecration to Unc'i Maka in taking more then what we truly need in her resources. These decisions not only hurt our own People, but the animal nations are dying in large numbers to extinction by this new way of life we are accepting. Unc'i Maka is going to have a hard time to continue to bring food to all life. These decisions need to be changed very soon and are in each and every one of your hands more then ever. Respect to the spirit of life needs to be brought back; boundaries need to put back into place and faith needs to be present in everyone's life once again." -- Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Nations.

As historian Patricia Nelson Limerick summarized in "The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West...
"Set the blood quantum at one-quarter, hold to it as a rigid definition of Indians, let intermarriage proceed as it had for centuries, and eventually Indians will be defined out of existence. When that happens, the federal government will be freed of its persistent 'Indian problem.'"

Once a language is lost, it is gone forever. Of the 300 original Native languages in North America, only 175 exist today. * 125 of these are no longer learned by children. * 55 are spoken by 1 to 6 elders; when they die, their language will disappear. * Without action, only 20 languages will survive the next 50 years.
