5 Other Fake Indians Besides Elizabeth Warren

5 Other Fake Indians Besides Elizabeth Warren

Losing My Religion

 People tend to think of a leader as a person who’s well connected, powerful and wealthy.  Judging  leaders by what they have, when we should be  looking at what they do not have, or display :  Ego, arrogance, and self‑interest. 

True leaders view their work as a self‑less service for a higher purpose and bigger picture.   Because leadership is not power and dominance. It is servitude.

When I  hear and see the back patters jumping to attention at every word of a "leader", they're  wearing hats with bells and doing cartwheels.  Jesters prepping the audience.  

If you really want IT to be different ,  you have to make a difference, first is to be different.  

Put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door!

To All My Relations

This phrase gets tossed around so freely, the meaning lost, with out a second thought.
It is disheartening to speak these words, the meaning lost to those you're trying to reach.
I can honestly say these words and be speaking to ALL tribal members.  Because I am related to each and everyone of you.  If you question this, as you should and I hope you do, feel free to check it out.
Several years ago I received documents printed from the BIA data base, but they're lost today, having been loaned out and destroyed in a fire. However thanks to technology today it is all in a database at the Tulalip Museum.
 This was something that I didn't want to brag about it, but it must be told now.
 I am here to help my people, always have been, I am related to all...
I am not running this year, but I am next year ....
So when I speak out and say to all my relations...I am speaking to you...my people....

REZ-titution

I do not understand the evil

The insatiable need 

Greed

I cannot lay claim

To any evil deed

For I speak true

from mind and heart 

Doesn't take a genius

To tell us apart

Yet still you waver

Fear to stand tall

I wonder if you know

Anything at all

Those poor Lemmings!

Most people have seen the Walt Disney Lemmings Movie. If you haven't, you can view the jumping portion of footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMZlr5Gf9yY&feature=coliker.  Walt Disney won the documentary Oscar award for this film in 1958.  Really....
 Well....
Did you know Walt Disney (and his film crew) coerced the Lemmings into jumping off the cliff..Yep, those little Lemmings had no choice but to jump. The film was created when they went out to study the body movements and characteristics of the animals together.  I wonder if he rescued the Lemmings that jumped in the water?  Or did they just enjoy the control they had over the animals...ultimately running them to their demise?
Hmmmmmm
Yes I'm definitely Looking into this, I seen this movie not only on television, but also in the public school and the Catholic school  I had attended. Why would they use a piece of film that was a pack of lies?  
It could've been Disney was pushing and testing the waters of deception.  Creating lies and spoon feeding it to the people and they bought it....
Think about it....

Sgwigwi

Sgwigwi ( how I remember it sounding)

I am posting this bit of evidence on how these people are DECEIVING you and rewriting history to benefit THEM, not the people as a whole.

In 2004,  I was working with a contracted consultant on the PL 102-477 programs, it was requested the department be renamed using a native word to describe our work. This is when I wanted to name the department SGWIGWI.  An event, that helps and  feeds all.   I had many memories from my great aunt Ruth Coy Walker and my grandmother.  

So I wrote a  letter with the word and description as I knew it, and in housed this to the general manager of the tribes.  After  six weeks I was informed by phone to talk to the cultural department.  So my request went forward, another six weeks I get a phone call from those  that "MASTER" our native language, they told me  no such word existed!" Nothing?", I asked.

"nothing..." Click they hung up.

Of course I was perplexed, I had recalled this word being used by my great aunt, my grandmother, my grandpa, my tsapa',  Was my memory wrong, ? NO, I believe in genetic memory and that does not lie!  The truth be told alas!

To my friends who believed in me, stood by me and still have not faltered to their HYPOCRITCAL WAYS, the truth of our native ancestry here it is:

"Gram Ruth Sehome Shelton or Siastenu, a Tulalip elder, recalled the Sgwigwi in a 1950s interview:

They used to give potlatch every fall when there's plenty of everything. Plenty of ducks and plenty of salmon. Cause everything was plentiful in those days. Lost of deer, lots of ducks, lots of salmon, camas. Anything what the other tribe got, well they'll bring it to this potlatch to feed the people. Well, they'll all go home. Well, maybe here next fall, the other tribes will give a potlatch, and he'll do the same. That's the way the old people was. In the early days, that's the way they did this potlatch because white people thought that was very foolish of giving all what he's got. But keep up the poor, that's what this is for. Keep up the poor. That's the end of it."

As her great, great granddaughter, I can only aspire to be as wise and share these words so we do not forget.  So WE NATIVE PEOPLE of the northwest coast can walk true to our ancestors.  

I cannot fight against those who do not hear and act respectfully, they've  choosen their own path and it is not the old ways.

I can look forward, knowing ....

Any questions ?

I KNOW WHO I AM, 

MY HANDS DON'T LIE
