Hiding In White Skin

Most will likely read the bold underlined part of the quote at the bottom of this article as being incorrect because after all there are very few people left in the USA who are 100% Native anymore. But notice that it does not say only those who are only of Native blood will
win the country back.


Something a Native American Elder told me in 2013 was that The Great Spirit Grand Father (God the Creator) gave this land to His red skinned people just He gave other lands to other groups of people. The elder said that it will be those with Native blood in our veins who will be the backbone of the country whose actions will bless many. He said that God did not give this land to the Natives to rip it out of their hands and given to a group of people who were demanding the land for themselves.


To the physical eye it may seem as though the Natives lost and that the wise chief's prediction never came true. But that would be a false assumption. A huge percentage of people in the USA have Native blood flowing within them and they don't even know it. Many do know though. Back in the day if a Native married a white they would put their children's race down on the census records as only white and they gave the children and their selves English names so that they appeared to be "safe" and white. The census taker would not know the difference since those in the household that looked Native just "happened" to be out hunting or working in the fields when the census takers came knocking.


The  government had been forcefully taking the Native kids and putting them into boarding schools not allowing them to speak their Native language or to practice their customs. The Native kids were not treated so nice which was a big reason why their true races were hidden on paper.


And much of white society had come to falsely believe that the Natives were horrible filthy people. That false belief became so common that even many Natives believed it about themselves.


Well, guess what? The Natives are still here in the USA living, working and owning land. But where are they you say? You don't see many Natives off the reservations so where are they? They are here hiding in white skin. Their skin colors may be largely bred out of existence but not their blood!


The DNA of the Natives flow in many millions of people and will not and can not die! Ultimately the Native out smarted the people who were trying to be rid of them.


So the next time you are blessed by someone keep in mind the Chief's prediction that his people will NOT die out, perhaps the person blessing you is of a Native tribe. Perhaps you are Native and don't even know it.......


The next time the EMS worker saves your life remember the wise chief's words because possibly and very likely that person who saved your life or the person who takes care of you in the hospital just might be one of the many descendants of a Native!


And to those who may think you don't have Native DNA you may be wrong. Since the census records were often lied to you can't be 100% sure that you don't have Native in you.


As with many things there have always been the good and bad in all groups of people. We can't put a blanket statement out there. Not all white people were land hungry thiefs. Some were hard working good people. There will always be the good and bad people from every group.


"My heart is a stone: heavy with sadness for my people; cold with the knowledge that no treaty will keep whites out of our lands; hard with the determination to resist as long as I live and breathe. Now we are weak and many of our people are afraid. But hear me: a single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong. Someday I will embrace our brother tribes and draw them into a bundle and together we will win our country back from the whites."

Wise Words From A Chief

"Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about his religion.
Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and of service to your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people, but grovel to none.
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light,
for your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.
Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools
and robs the spirit of its vision.
When your time comes to die,
be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death,
so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time
to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."

Short but True, Powerfully True.

To those who abuse: the sin is yours, the crime is yours, and the shame is yours. To those who protect the perpetrators: blaming the victims only masks the evil within, making you as guilty as those who abuse. Stand up for the innocent or go down with the rest." ----Flora Jessop
