We as Native Americans have evolved like every tribe on the planet by synthesizing with others either by choice, necessity or climate change. A long time before Europeans officially set foot on the soil of this continent Native American tribes (500+) were adapting by borrowing with & blending with each other. Wars were fought, lost & won, treaties were made and broken. It is good that both Europeans and Native Americans are attempting to HOLD ONTO WHAT IS GOOD about both continental cultures and it is here that we find our common ground:
Abandon, Adopt, Adapt...but never lose your LOVE for Father AND Mother.
The BLOOD of ALL my ancestors cries to me from the GROUND which is the Sacred Burial Place of ALL my peoples.
Peace,
Mother Nanhi of Many People with One Spirit
BRING HARM TO NO ONE LEST YOU BRING IT TO YOURSELF
