Okay, finally another Episode of the Supporter series. This one is in the spirit of the upcoming Fall 09 Caravan to Big Mountain resistance communities which will take place in November during the "Genocide-Coverup Day"(*) or more popularly known as the Thankgiving holiday. We hope many of you will join or support this unique endeavor.
The Dineh elders in resistance do really appreciate and love the efforts of non-native supporters that come to stay with them. The Indian have been so acculturated like that they believe that there will be a "good leader" in the U.S. politics, or a small bit of this society may believe Wal-Mart is the greatest thing ever, or that "warriors" means American military service personnel. However, the actually Elders themselves still honor the earth, sky and universe. Then supporters may still be totally naive and one example might be when they try to help with or suggest healing.' I hope the image is self-explanatory. Also this reminds me of when I stayed among the Tohono O'odham during the Treaty Conference of 1980-something, and white supporters were giving out herbal tea to those elders. The tea was said to be for dehydration and was specifically provided only to those Sonoran desert aborigines, ancient desert peoples! Should the non-natives and non-Tohono O'odhams have needed this tea? I coulda shore used sum....
(*)This very appropriate title for this particular American holiday was coined by or first heard it from Pirate Jodi of Portland, OR
