Native American perspective of Earth as a single organism can save the world! Imagine what’s happening from their perspective; pale face Europeans drive them off their pristine lands and poison the skies, sending Earth into a hothouse state of chaos, https://www.earthpledge.net/climate.pdf as political tensions skyrocket! Animosity between left and right aspects of our collective being, is only eclipsed by animosity towards Pale face enemies in the East from proxy wars, threatening to trigger the release of megatons of malice that destroy US and our mother! https://x.com/fli_org/status/1559219598213451777?s=61

Might our true hope see a trail of tears transform US and our consciousness, to take up a new journey moving down a road to redemption?

“Upon suffering beyond suffering; the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of seven generations, when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again.”

Since Time Immemorial: Native Custom and Law in Colonial Mexico

In Since Time Immemorial, Emory University history professor Yanna Yannakakis explores the meaning of a specific word at a specific time – "custom" – and what it meant during Spain's rule over Mexico. As Spanish leaders sought to consolidate control over their new holdings, they found it necessary to acknowledge the continuing legitimacy of indigenous custom even as they asserted the primacy of imperial law and Christianity. This gave indigenous communities some space to preserve the continuity of their own traditions, carving out a space of agency within the hierarchy of the Spanish Empire. All the same, Yannakakis warns against overstating this; the ultimate purpose of custom, as understood by the empire, was to integrate custom within the framework of Spanish law.

Native American Confederates 1861-1865 🇺🇲 "The last Confederate troops to surrender in the Civil War were Native American... ...It was led not by one of the wealthy white southerners who made up much of the Confederacy's officer class — but by a Native American chief called Stand Watie. Watie raised a force of Native Americans to fight for the Confederacy as North and South went to war. It was the federal government, responsible for robbing Cherokee of their ancestral land, which Watie — in common with many of his people — saw as his main enemy, not the Confederacy. ....Many Cherokee were themselves slave owners, with some taking their slaves with them to Indian Territory after the forced resettlements west." #WhiteHistoryMonth #WHM2023 #EyesOnTheLiez #NativeAmerica #CivilWar #TheConfederacy #Slavery #Abolition #YuruguVirus #Yurugu #WeHaveNoFriends #Reparations 👣🦅♟️🪓🔗🏹 (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNR_h6OYOv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Mississippian Mound village sits on a high plateau in what was once a forest filled with deer, bears, raccoons, big cats, opossum, wild turkey, squirrels, etc, et al. Alligators, fish, and turtles live in the surrounding creeks and lakes. Snakes and waterbirds are everywhere. I imagine waking up here each day was pleasant for the most part. Today it is surrounded by a subdivision, and backs up on the extremely noisy I-10 freeway. #apalachee #village #ghosts #archaeology #moundbuilders #indigenoushistory #landmark #florida #nativeamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnj4YsEricT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
