Adding Our Voice To The Ruckus!
As Urban American Indians and along with our work for The People, most of our efforts are concentrated on offering education and awareness to Non-Indians about the continued genocide of indigenous populations in the US and around the world.

Frequently, we are asked about our culture(s) in regard to our traditions. People seem more interested in the mystical or ceremonial aspects in hopes they will find answers for their own confusion and lack of direction in their lives than they do present reality. Most only want to know the "good parts" of being "Indian." They love our regalia, music, the sage and sweetgrass, but when it comes to the more difficult issues of responsibility and honor they shrink away mumbling to themselves......

....let me attempt to give another perspective for those seeking, and not finding the answers expected - one that has to do with today and as we've been taught by our ancestors to adapt in order to find a better way for the continuance of our race...

RECOVERY for Our People!
Countless Indian People have perished physically and spiritually over the more than 500 years that the invaders have ruled our precious Turtle Island. They gave our ancestors whiskey and smallpox - stole the children from their parents arms - and divided our famalies with drugs, alcohol and spiritual emptiness.

Our people are still dying from the abuse. It is clear the governments that keep us in poverty --- do so to ensure we are unable to defend ourselves and our lands. It is up to those able and willing to help our people back to health. To find the ways to return our dignity and determination for the good of THE PEOPLE.
