April 22 365 Days Of Walking The Red Road
It is important to understand that
there are many different ways of
seeing the world and expressing the
wisdom of Native belief ... No one...
voice speaks for all voices.
Joseph Bruchac, From his book: Native Wisdom
Did You Know?
Robbie Robertson, best known for being
a member of the 1970s group The Band,
connected with his Native American
roots after the 1994 television documen-
tary Music for the Native Americans. His
songs, for the documentary, a mix of
rock, cutting-edge sounds, and Native
chants and myths, are well received
both by Native people and non-Natives.

Native causes
Recently I have posted a bit more about events that happened to our ancestors. Most non Natives know that which is written in books, Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee, The Long Walk etc etc. But there is more that the books and teachers do not speak of. In the upcoming days I will be posting more on events that took place. Events that have a place in our history. The focus and purpose is not to glorify any single event. Not to dishonour our ancestors or to make one event more important than another. But to make aware that which has gone unseen. If any of my Native Brothers or sisters feel in any way that I am disrespecting our people, understand that is not my intention. ~NC~
Elder's Meditation of the Day April 22

| "Each creature has a medicine, so there are many medicines. Because they are so close to the Creator, they are to communicate that medicine. Then they bring help and health." |  |
| --Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA | |
| The Elders say everything has a purpose and everything has a will. We should never interfere with purpose or the will of everything. Every plant, creature, animal, insect, and human being has a purpose to be here on the Earth. Each has a special medicine to contribute for the good of all things. Each person also has good medicine, a special talent, a special gift. These medicines are to help others or to help make us healthy. What is your special medicine? | |
Creator, today, help me discover and use my medicine to serve a greater good.

Elder's Meditation of the Day April 21

| "Conciliation is the key to survival. Peace is the goal." | |
| --Haida Gwaii, Traditional Circle of Elders | |
| When we make decisions or experience conflict we need to look at the greater whole. The end result we want to accomplish is peace of mind. If we keep this goal in mind, we will, overall, live a happy and fulfilling life. Everything in the world is constantly changing so we should not resist this change. A good question to ask ourselves is, "would I rather be right or happy?". If we would rather be happy, then it is easier to let the little things go. If we would rather be right, we tend to look for the WIN/LOSE. | |
Great Spirit, today, give me the tools to seek peace of mind.
