Elder's Meditation of the Day August 5

Elder's Meditation of the Day August 5 "It is a paradox in the contemporary world that in our desire for peace we must willingly give ourselves to struggle." --Linda Hogan, CHICKASAW The Grandfathers have taught us about sacrifice. We have been taught to pray for the people in a pitiful way. Struggle and conflict is neither good nor bad, it just is. Everything that grows experiences conflict. When the deer is born it is through conflict. When the seed first grows, it is through conflict. Conflict precedes clarity. Everything has the seasons of growth. Recognize - acknowledge - forgive and change. All of these things are done through conflict. Great Spirit, give me the courage today to see that struggle and conflict are here to teach me lessons that are a gift from you.

Woman's Prayer

 

I bring this to the Fire first this day for all the beautiful women that sit at our Fire here at the Nation of Shawls. We the men of this family THANK YOU. Grandfather Michael


Woman's Prayer

Great Spirit, I am Mother.
I was made by You so that the image of Your love
Could be brought into existence.
May I always carry with me
The sacredness of this honour.

Creator, I am Daughter.
I am the learner of the Traditions.
May I carry them forward
So that the Elders and Ancestors
Will be remembered for all time.

Maker-Of-All-Things, I am Sister.
Through me, may my brothers be shown
The manner in which I am to be respected.
May I join with my sisters in strength and power as a Healing Sheild
So that they will no longer bear the stain of abuse.

Niskam, I am Committed Partner:
One who shares her spirit,
But is wise to remember never to give it away,
Lest it become lost,
And the two become less than one.

I am Woman.
Hear me.
Welal'in.
Ta'ho!

Elder's Meditation of the Day August 4

Elder's Meditation of the Day August 4
"Telling about our lives is important for those who come after as, for those who will see our experience as part of their own historical struggle."
--Linda Hogan, CHICKASAW
How important it is for us to support one another? How important it is for us to know our culture and to share our experiences with one another? How powerful it is to be authentic? How important it is to hold no secrets? I am as sick as my secrets.

Grandfather, allow me today to be willing to share with my brother and sister. Let my eyes see You in their eyes. Let me not judge them but only love them. Grandfather, help me, for I am Your humble servant.

On This Day: In 1862

On This Day: In 1862 Mdewakanton Dakota Little Crow and 500 Sioux warriors stormed the U.S. Indian Agency in Minnesota and demanded that the agent distribute the food in its warehouse. The Sioux had suffered over the course of the winter and summer for lack of food on the reservation, and had patiently waited for the government to fulfill its promise of food and money distributions. After an initial rebuttal, the agent officially issued the food to the Sioux. —
