core “viewpoint” on any issue, people must "Reflect and “Relate” in a way that is non topical
and connect ones issue with a deep part of there “own” core Source understanding , the complexity and structured systems in many peoples lives have a way of Profoundly “disconnecting” ones own abilty to look upon deepy human issues “with ones own eyes” and understand that we all share the same issues this touches quite deeply on ones
core sense of “inner accountablity” and “connective” respect for each other “and” all our “relations”.
“I see you” may be 3 simple words but its core meaning and impact deeply on
how people “see each other” with respect and understanding " as well as
look upon the world and its core human issues "with ones “own” eyes and
heartfelt understanding , sublime dammage to these underlying “bonds” is at the roots
of many of the issues “we all face” in our world today , if people cant “see” each other
how are they ever going to come together and address an issue with any kind of “clarity” ?
The quality of water we drink daily, what it contains or does not contain, is imperative to our health on every level.
Many sacred meeting place’s for indigenous people’s are on ground near or close to water.
As an element, water represent’s our ability to flow, adapt, grow, be fluid and to evolve and move forward.
Water is powerful : consider it’s ability to change the shape of the land/rock over which it flows, in time.
We need to connect with and harness the power of water in our pledge to save our water ways.
I would realy like to see dialog and feedback on these underlying issues talked about
in a calm rational manor.
The underlying Issues at the Mi’kMaq fracking protect come to mind .
and put ones self in anothers shoes , (unless the core intent of ones message is to “seed” hate mistrust and seperation") think of familys whos wells are now useless due to contamitation from fracking or the disfigured fish pulled from the rivers that flow through the tar sands project think of the feelings held deep inside going back many generations and of ones core duty to protect the land water and those who can not speak, and for the generations to come.
Take a look at The Two row Wampum treaty and its underlying history
The underlying roots of “Human Tribalism” that continue to seed hate and mistrust and conflit
in our world today. be aware of them.
“seeing and Hearing” each other and truly grasping the scope of the “feelings” at hand
this goes back many generations and drives a lot of anger hate, fear, and mistrust, it also deepy impacts upon our childrens lives at many levels not that well understood “yet”.
Does one skins color “bind” one to Ancestal Hatred and “labeling” regardless of ones desire
to heal the wrongs of ones past history ? many so called "White lesbains " know “full well” deep inside there is a real core issue with our underlying economic and political systems that impact a great “moral injustice” that has deeply wounded our peoples “accountability” native peoples are not without fault either as there past conflits “with each other” show we “all” at times come in contact with our core “primal” indiffrences, The question is , Do we honestly learn from our past history ? or do we let it drag behind us like a ball and chain.
every man has the right to believe in what he wants(who is tosay your belief is the right way) so long he does mother earth no harm or other humanbeings.
I have been on site, in Sydney at Occupy’s 24/7 Resource Centre for Homeless People serving tea coffee soup chatting & joining with our Community who live without homes from all nations.
Today we Celebrate 2 Years @ Occupy Sydney & I am Honoured to be speaking at the Event about Idle No More.
A wonderful opportunity to communicate with people who are not aware of how they can contribute & engage & co-create positive change.

Be very careful not to drive on the “US and Them” viewpoint as that just throws more fuel on the wrong fire, its true we all have to mantain respect for culltural idenity but in speaking
with many people both old and young and asking them to share there "feelings on the issues we all face, if one can get past the surface noise and external driven viewpoints to ones inner understanding , We suddenly once again “see” each other with very comon roots.
I exprenced a suprising and very non topical example of this in the unexpected reaction
of hundreds of people after there exprence with a Mirror story film that touched deeply
upon the core feelings and memorys we “all hold inside”.
If you follow me and trust. There is no risk to lose. I"ll show you where to go,,, I will allways be your friend,,, We will walk “this way” together,,, and allways know where we are,,
at times we find trouble,, we stop and listen to our hearts,,,
Cause Inside we are strong !
And where “feeling” can’t go wrong !
We take this energy in our lives,,
We’ll never walk you wrong.
(Give value to the “feelings” we “all” hold inside)
To address the underlying roots of the issues we “all face” our peoples must “see” and “hear” each other and reflect upon the Multi-Generational"thoughts" and “feelings”
Held “deep inside” not to attach to our past, but to move to a better future.
How sociaty "feels " matters. “speak to the people first”, not the goverment.
Try a “diffrent” approach. from others.
The true wealth of the world is in our diversity.
