We have the great fortune of living on Algonquin territory. We are guests to a very wise culture that has been forced to host the settler people. We have the undeniable responsibility to respect Anishinaabe ethos and learn their wise ways. Anishinaabe elders are very willing to share their teachings with everyone, if we just approach them with humility and courage. We are also meant to become prudent allies to their defense of the land and their culture. Actually, this is, perhaps, the last chance we have to make this world a livable place for our children up to the seventh skin (generation). The keepers of sacred knowledge are amidst our society and we should revere these harmonious and blessed ways. We should humbly embrace the Story of Turtle Island, the Teachings of the seven grandfathers, and fill our hearts with those beautiful teachings. 0This we should, we must do not only for ourselves but, most importantly, for our kids. Let us follow the way of the true warrior and live according to our original instructions and become our responsibilities. Jallalla! (a salutation of joy and victory of Aymara peoples) Meegweetch.
