Indigenous Rising Media with Lynnette Adams and 3 othersat Oceti Sakowin Camp.

6 hrs · Cannon Ball, ND · 

Women from across Turtle Island came together at The Oceti Sakowin Camp to facilitate workshops for three days in support of healing survivors of rape, abuse, and harassment. Daily healing circles were conducted to help create safe spaces for survivors to share stories. The events culminated in a march that brought awareness to the parallels between the abuse of kunsi/unci (Grandmother Earth) and women. Water and land protectors participated in making quilt squares for a special project led by Rebecca Nagle of The “Kik Ta! Wake Up” Project.

The Monument Quilt: a public healing space by and for survivors of rape and abuse. The Monument Quilt is an ongoing collection of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. To date, over 1,000 collected quilt squares have been displayed in 22 different cities across the US (read more on CNN and MSNBC). As the quilt continues to grow, survivors, loved ones and supporters are encouraged to make a square. In a culminating display in Washington, DC, 6,000 fabric squares will blanket over one mile of the national mall to spell “Not Alone.”

Special thanks to all the facilitators, Rebecca Nagle, Graci Horne, Deezbaa Andrea Marie, and many others who traveled to Standing Rock to make these events happen. Thank you for your commitment to bringing healing to our communities.

Visiting the lands of Kitchi Sabe

loving you 

is like starlight dancing with ocean 

and flying hummingbirds shimmering

flavors, 

painting my day with joy

*

my journey to the great lakes

fresh water ocean of Turtle Island

meandered with streams of 

inner-connecting weaving

flavoring senses of belonging 

to water, earth, air, light

and all relations

*

there were saids and songs

and voices of heart stretched drums
from the next generations fires

shakers seeding sparks

of living resilience

*

water gives life, 

spirit gives light,

wind gives voice,

earth gives form,

beauty and life, 

living lovers

dreaming dreams

into woven tapestries
of living realities

*

Some say "it's not over till the fat lady sings".

So much gratitude for gramma's sharing big bundles.

So much gratitude for youth who gather seeds.

*

*

May the Spirit of Sacred Stones

Spark Protecting the Sacred Waters of Taos,

the Great Lake Fresh Water Birthing Oceans,

and all the Water Veins that inter-connect us  

with Turtle Island and all relations.

Measuring Masquerading Rip Tides

love knows love when

doesn’t want to contain, dominate, tame 

or rearrange her wilding nature

and there aren’t any more excuses

for truth 

love knows the way feelings feel 

when hearthinking

is a way to protect 

that way she gives life giving, life

to the feelings love 

feels

the fragrance of the way seeing

tastes every motion 

of oceans eternal seasons

speaking in the tongue of copal breath winds

smoking from stones

and she knows the way

those feelings feel 

trying 

to make some sort of peace

with the pieces

of

knowing the look 

across the faces 

of memories and todays

that come in shades 

of pieces 

buying selling and trading 

the color of her flesh

bleeding terms of denominations

that can’t contain

the resilience of her wilding nature

birthing sleeping giants 

feeling the way hearthinking feels 

when publicly private

is a way to protect 

that way she gives life giving, life

to fertile rivers 

of thundering rain

when love has no terms

that can define her

Haven't written on Bear's Muses in a while ~

Alis-Itlatol has been out Dancing to the heart Drum with Cho Cho Fire and Starwalker ~ https://youtu.be/itrs_4-Ymi8 , https://youtu.be/eU0fS0GA6Ek

so i decided to slip in, with a morning cup of atole, and muse about ~  

These days of apologetic predators, hunters hunting for something, because 

woke up one day sleeping in the individuality of the Oneness movement.

Sure, sure, yeah, we can agree that there is universal indigenous knowledge that all children need to learn to create a future of Peace with Mother Earth, All Life and the human family....

While trusting that the individualist culture will behave exactly as the individualist culture does....

There is no doubt, that there are many good individualists with good intensions, and that

the privilege of a colonial individualist means that individualists can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of collectivist relational cultures who are the world’s majority, 

are the world's majority, 

without feeling in the individualist's culture any consequence for such oblivion,

for such oblivion. 

The colonial individualist has not been forced, tortured, killed or put into circumstances of survival, that would necessitate the need to understand collectivist relational cultures ~

until recently ~ 

by way of "climate change", and the consequences of their owner ship individualist culture that has polluted the air, water, land and life ...

which threatens their own lives ~ as well as All Life ~

I could say oh, pobracitos ~ 

about the grand canyons, like broken treaties between speaking and understanding the same words in english that mean something totally different to the individualist and the collectivist culturally. 

There is no cultural context for the individualist in the individualist culture to relate to what a collectivist relational culture 

lives and knows ...

it's is like reading the words on a flat map... lacking contextual living comprehension ~

it's like the reverse of tutoring for "english as a second language" (ESL) students:

culture as a second kulture ~ and thus with the "teach everyone oneness movement ", comes the individualist sense of privilege and entitlement to be taught.

Please understand this ~ there is no "un and sub" consciousness in the relativity of relational consciousnesses cultures.

Yours Truely,
