native state', remnant of the wisdom of the Organism. To the Crowns advantage and the advantage of the Traders, formal education was little discussed by those benefiting the most. These retarded interests would be left to the altruistic Missionaries.
“Our ideas will overcome your ideas...… We Indians will show
this country how to act human. [Acting Human, living human, being human, modeling human],(italics mine) Some day this country will revise its constitution, its laws, in terms of human beings, not property.” Vine Deloria Jr. (1971) Every ones rights are bound up in English law by property entanglements, issues rights and law.

Whole man/woman – Citizens of the global vessel earth mother progenitor. A Positive attitude courageous for rights, goodwill and progressive attitude can lead us. Privileged will resist and transition bitterness adjustment. Shock at revelations brings tumultuous times. Non American doesn't mean un American nor anti American. With moral courage and wise restraint and calm reasonableness we will excel. New Indians, Still Heritage Rich. For too long we have acquiesced and submerged our dignity rather than assert it. Happy to accept their lot and bide their time. Self asserting is just and wise, giving new liberty and justice, dignity and self respect. Human Equality and human rights lifted higher as We are waking up to be Whole persons, citizens of the planet world. In the necessary phase of transition, anger and bitterness is normal to adjustment and the shock of understanding, leading to tremulous times. Jesus reform efforts resulted in death. Gandhi, King, Mandela and others showed a potential for saving the globe. As we wake and rise developing a sense of self apart from the “American dream” become nightmare, we are beginning to know who we are, remembering our past. We had a way of life that could save the planet from human destruction. Our wisdom was diminished greatly when we were declared “Domestic Dependent Nations.” Apostles of hatred will not search for answers in the darkness of night. We need to find the Answers in the light of reason. Shedding light on Indian Communities will reveal manifestations we may not want to face. The horror and shame of the invaders bled into our own treatment of each other. As we became Crucibles and ontogenesis petrie dishes of a culture squeezed, cornered and devastated, we were left at the mercy of the War department and politics of the newborn USA. Coerced transformation took many forms. Some sectors developed into refined and honed legal literate advocates of the “Real People”, the name we called ourselves. But in the 'Declaration of Independence' we were called savages. Some were Isolated and grew in uninformed traumatized defensive belligerence. Ultimately bringing us together by force, to expel us from our homeland over the trail where they drove us like cattle. Coercion followed into Indian Territory. We had a concoction of abuse and wounds from generations of maltreatment by neighbors, government, corporates and churches. The best doctor and the most advanced specialist are not the legacy of treatment for this continent of indigenous beings. With debilitating results and debased status we were denigrated by forsaken design, left to neglect and abandonment in the name of expediency of ways to make money. Welcome to America anything goes. Mindless designs and corporate people generated atrocities on unsuspecting humans. Diagnosis and prognosis diminution or call it plan C for the poor and maltreated. Drowned by it all, resignation to the unjust convoluted status, we try to survive in spite of the warped apparatus that develops. Yet out of adversity can come some good. Endurance, fortitude and inspiration. Deprived of any real sense of America and certainly any significant participation in America how can people become Americana? Even the vocabulary thru which things were understood was effaced and eviscerated. New language desolation impared their every attempt and ability to adjust.

Who is called un American? It makes you wonder who wants to be called an English speaking American. Modernity and tradition are colliding and the results and outcomes are multilateral and multifaceted. These Chains are rattling, revealing our bondage and entanglement. Freedom is encumbered as we realize Freedom approaches myth status. We are all free or none of us is free. The spirit of life and love is hindered, but thank God for the Holy Spirit AND FIRE.
We are all completely beside ourselves, duped, hoodwinked and
deceived. Like blast induced memory losses. Toxic traumas drive us out of our minds. Incidents and affairs with death and the death dealing apparatus of 'civilization'. Pains manifest in multitudinous fashion and produce abnormal symptoms, irregular reactions, mental and emotional responses upsetting our balance. Shadows and ghosts persist but we can put things in a better place by the light of reason. Haunts aside our better angels or our highest selves may help. Come let us reason together. With so many atrocities negated, violations unacknowledged, Traumas overlooked and forgotten, all are in need of healing and loving balm. To be embraced in love and light. Touched by power of the almighty. We can avail ourselves of the cathartic roots of our goodness and blessedness by prospering our souls. Fanning into flame the gift that is within each of us. Like the Daniel Plan and the David Plan.
