Approximately 1999, I filed a civil, discrimination lawsuit against a municipality, in western N.Y. An attorney practicing in the Western New York Judicial District, told me that there is a New York State Governor's Edict that states that anyone who works for the state, who has an official conversation with an indian, not just Seneca Indians, but all indians, must document the contents of that conversation and forward it to the Governor's Office. This Governor's Edict was made before 1999, and apparently, was still in effect in 1999 . I do not know the year the Edict was made, or what governor made it. Only because the attorney mentioned "not just Seneca Indians, but all indians", I believe it may have been Governor Pataki. As there was confrontation between the Seneca Nation of Indians and Governor Pataki. This is the best time frame that I can provide, given the information presented here. The search cannot be limited to Governor Pataki, but that might be the mo...

 And usually, the only place the general public can find these books, are for sale on the internet's used book websites, or in used book stores. If you're lucky. And that's how I started to fine these books of the "shadow libraries" concerning indigenous people. By simply walking down the aisle of a used bookstore, seeing a title of a book on the shelf and saying- that looks interesting, and start reading it. This was a few years before the pandemic. Although there have been a couple of books I have been trying to locate in used bookstores, for the past 40+ years. I came up with the term "shadow library" in relation to it being a shadow of the public library. Always there, but in discernible to the public. And if a person of the general public doesn't even know the title of a "shadow library" book or that it exists, how can they even ask for it or try to locate.  If you go to Worldcat to look up a title of a book contained in these secret ...

  Before we begin, it needs to be made clear that the indigenous students who are learning their language and the instructors who are teaching the language, are not at fault or blame for the damage that the United States and Canadian government's Indigenous Language Programs have done to the indigenous language. The indigenous students and instructors must be encouraged to continue their good work. Their work of learning the language is necessary for the continued existence of Our People. The title of this Article is an old empire saying, taken from a YouTube video narration, reviewing a 110 year old book titled: God-man: how the word was changed to flesh. This article is not about that book. It's about the old empire saying- " if you forbid the people from speaking their language, you can change their history and change the meaning of their words." This old empire teaching has been applied to the indigenous people of Canada and the United States. And perhaps all ind...

 This is the first or second time in my memory, when I heard Native Americans being included in any type of statistical analysis like this. In the 1960's the American Indian Movement (AIM) was created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to combat the racism, rape, assault and murder of Native Americans at the hands of the Minnesota Police Department. Because of this and AIM's expanded protectivism of Native Americans, they were and are listed with a "domestic terrorist" classification. United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, is the highest ranking law enforcement person in the U.S.. With Attorney General Garland's Department of Justice (DOJ) report, would he now consider removing that "domestic terrorist" classification of AIM. AIM was a direct result of the United States government's genocide of the Native American People. Internet search: American Indian Movement (AIM). The need for AIM occurred because of the assault, rape and murder of Native A...

 Just do an internet search on the "Five Eyes". They are the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It started in secret with just the United Kingdom in the United States exchanging military intelligence during World War II. Then after some years, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were added. And around 2012 or 2013 they admitted to calling themselves the Five Eyes and who they are. The last four: the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand always vote no for any United Nation action that could benefit the indigenous people of the world. In the 1980s when the United Nations put a resolution to a vote, to change the official U.N. designation of "indigenous populations" to "indigenous people", those four voted no. Every other nation voted yes, and there were some abstentions.  You can have a "population" of deer, for example. But moving the official U.N. designation to "indigenous  people", would br...

 This information provided to me from Cedric Sun, blog address of:  cqs19.net This blog contains information on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The vegetable is loofah. Yes, the same loofah that people use to exfoliate their skin. The loofah that you use to exfoliate, is when the vegetable goes to full maturity and dries out. The loofah that you eat, are the younger, greener vegetables that look similar to zucchini. It can be found in Asian supermarkets. Which fortunately, are more readily available in medium-sized cities like Buffalo, Syracuse, N.Y. or Hamilton, Ontario. It looks similar to a dark green zucchini. Diameters are generally inch and a half to three inches. It has long narrow fins, running lengthwise, end-to-end. To prepare you simply cut off both ends, take a paring knife and slice off each of the fins, end to end. It is not necessary to remove all the skin, only the narrow fins. It's usually labeled simply as "squash". Then you simply slice and cook as ...

 Look at the current state of the U.S. government: The Senate and the House of Congress, hate each other. And they cannot and refuse to do what is best for the American people. They never miss an opportunity to harm each other politically. They themselves state this about each other. They have turned the Supreme Court into a political divide, depending on what political party can get the most Supreme Court Justices seated. They've given up on trying to continue the idea that the Supreme Court is not partisan.  The U.S. population is divided roughly in half by political parties and they hate each other, and kill each other because of this. Mass shootings at all-time high. Ultra-violence every day in the streets of the cities.  The previous president of United States under indictment and running for re-election in 2024. The Innocence Project is hard at work, trying to get innocent citizens out of prison. It appears as though this is going to be an endless effort and process...

"Fear is restricting. One who is fearful limits and tries to impose limitations upon the freedom of others. But when we are free of fear, we no longer seek to dominate others, for we are confident that they cannot dominate us - they have no means of intimidating us. We know that we have a valid "place" in the world: we have explored it, choosen it, taking root, and flowered in it."

VII Ballade (for the contest at Blois) I die of thirst beside the fountain  as hot as fire, trembling tooth on tooth;  in my own country I'm in a far-off land;  beside a fire I shiver, all aflame;  as naked as a worm, yet richly dressed in furs;  I laughed through tears, and wait without a hope;  my only comfort is in sad despair;  I rejoice and have no pleasure;  I am strong, but have no force or power,  Well received, rebuffed by all. Nothing sure save what is yet uncertain,  nor more obscure than what is evident;  I have no doubt save when I am positive;  in sudden accident is knowledge based;  I win all and yet remained a loser;  at break of day I say "Goodnight";  when I lie down I have great fear of falling;  I'm quite well off and yet don't have a penny;  I await inheritance and yet am no man's heir,  Well received, rebuffed by all. I'm never careful, but I make all efforts  to acquire ...

OUTSIDE THE FERTILE CRESCENT Too long out of her seashell, too far away from green waves sparkling as they lick the sky, Aphrodite falters. Shallow ponds delay her sea-search. Off course, inland, tired, dry, she takes a man's words seriously when he offers water. He owns a well. She settles in his oasis. His one tree, his human heart, cast their spell; for such implosion she serves him gratefully. He keeps her safe from his city of those who are wicked. She gets water enough, cupfuls, pictcherfuls, to cook & wash clothes, not to plunge in. Pillared when she calls his bluff, at dawn her salt crystals gleam, flushed with rose. THE PROBLEM OF THE DARK Lacking electric light or other artifice the instruction of night is hit or miss. Strolling's a dream-state nightmare to run. Fields she negotiates drop to canyon. She makes her foot wait, feel for what's next. She's far in. The edge of the work of her war is air on skin.

The Earth is your mother, she holds you. The Sky is your father, he protects. Sleep, Sleep, Rainbow is your sister, she loves you. The winds are your brothers, they sing to you. Sleep, Sleep, We are together always We are together always There never was a time  when this was not so

First, let us be clear on this- the court system of the United States and Canada are tools of colonization, designed to go against the principles of justice, truth, good faith, democracy, equality, and respect for human rights for all Indigenous People, their Children and the future generations of Indigenous People. The courts are designed to divide and conquer indigenous people and get them to fight each other and not come together with one mind, and do what is best for the people. Which is the way of "indigenous original instructions," that were given to indigenous people from the Creator . The courts are unnatural to all indigenous people. All the rights that the Indigenous people and individuals have lost through the court system, must now be recognized and reinstated whole, through the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP). Any honest lawyer will tell you that you can never get "justice" from the courts. Any honest lawyer will t...
