im an ojibwe from southeastern manitoba, living in Vancouver. We are al indigenous to this earth. the faster we realize that, the faster we will prosper. the law that governs us all opresses the indigenous, like the indian act; thats why they wont get rid of it, and why "indian" isnt clearly defined in said law. because it keeps us all opressed, and as long as we keep fighting amongst eachother, that will never change. time to stand in our power, and stand up for our futures

​My aunt passed a while back, she and my grandpa were full Huachelo, Mexican tribe. I used to ask her to take me to cemetery so she could connect all the generations to me. On the way to the cemetery, there was a area where there was a lot of peyote and mushrooms. We would walk to the cemetery and stop and eat some. It was a spiritual thing, not used like used now. I could feel my ancestors next to me. My grandparents and great aunt and uncles used cannabis for arthritis pain, way before it was popular. They would boil it, put it in half bottle of rubbing alcohol, and put it on their painful joints. It stunk to high heaven, but they swore by it. They always took a rinse in shower in morning bc it stunk. These are medication if used properly.

At a time in Europe when street cleaning was almost non-existent and people emptied their overflowing chamber pots into the streets as a matter of course, the Aztecs employed a thousand public service cleaners to sweep and water their streets daily, built public toilets in every neighbourhood, and transported human waste in canoes for use as fertilizer. While London was still drawing its drinking water from the polluted River Thames as late as 1854, the Aztecs supplied their capital city with fresh water from the nearby hill of Chapultepec by means of two aqueducts, the first built by Netzahualcóyotl between 1466 and 1478, the second some 20 years later by the ruler Ahuitzotl. Not only was MesoAmerica cleaner, the cities were bigger than anything in Europe! Compared to the cities of Europe, only Paris, Venice and Constantinople MIGHT have rivaled it. It was five times the size of the London of Henry VIII. In a letter to the Spanish king, Cortés wrote that Tenochtitlan was as large as Seville or Córdoba. Not only was the city clean, the people were too! But probably nothing seemed more bizarre to the Spaniards than the Aztec attitude to personal hygiene. In a word, they valued cleanliness. The conquistador Andres de Tapia reported, in a tone of wonder, that Montezuma bathed twice a day. He did, but there was nothing extraordinary about that for an Aztec, since everybody, according to the Jesuit historian Francisco Javier Clavijero, ‘bathed often, and many of them every day’ in the rivers, lakes or pools.

A new study compares the highly developed Inca tradition of trepanation with cranial surgery performed during the American Civil War: it finds that survival rates among later Inca cultures was significantly higher than those for 19th-century soldiers, reports Lizzie Wade at Science. The Aztec... were so expert in medicine compared to European physicians that reportedly the Spanish conquistadores preferred to seek help from them instead of barber-surgeons who accompanied the Spaniards to the New World. ’Aztec physicians understood the workings of the heart and circulatory system long before Europeans possessed such knowledge. They were familiar with the main details of the internal parts of the heart as well.. (Historians generally credit William Harvey, an Englishman who lived between 1578 and 1657, with putting forth the first theory describing the circulatory system.) The Aztec language, Nahuatl, even contained a word to describe the throbbing of the heart: tetecuicaliztli. ‘The Aztec not only developed sophisticated anatomical terminology but also classified the parts of the human body, organising them into systems. In this book Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World, anthropologist Jack Weatherford states: “The Nahuatl-speaking doctors developed an extensive vocabulary that identified virtually all of the organs that the science of anatomy recognises today.”’

Unfortunately, the existence of the Smithsonian and establishment "historians/anthropologists/academe" have a sinister agenda of "erasing" or "distorting" the past perhaps mainly due to existential political reasons and perhaps championing the Darwinian false narrative of evolution as opposed to the Biblical narrative which also entails the existence of God and Intelligent Designer. Personally I tend to lean towards the Noah flood and Babel narrative and the Genesis Table of nations which explain in part the existence of giants. Ironically, some people who claim to be scholars or academes push for a paganistic mystical ancient religion as the common setup in the ancient world yet when it comes to the topic of Biblical creation, they are hostile towards it. What does that tell you? It tells us that they have an agenda that culminated after the Great Flood of Noah and that is to destroy and distort all knowledge that points to a universal God Creator. But to do this, "they" have to invent a ton of lies which I believe they can hardly substantiate due to the emergence of new evidences that oppose their conjecture riddled "ancient history narrative".

The Aztecs had a long literary tradition, with poetic works long before England had its Shakespeare or Spain its Cervantes. Mesoamerica, along with Mesopotamia and China, is one of three known places in the world where writing developed independently. The Aztecs are believed to be among the first to offer universal education at a time when other societies reserved study only for the privileged. "All Aztec children went to school," says Harry Patrinos, the lead education economist at the World Bank. "It all disappeared after the [Spanish] conquest, and it took a long time before the colonies had any education system." Natives were the first to establish a higher education tradition in the Western hemisphere. the indigenous Mayans, Aztecs and Incas possessed advanced education well before the Spanish arrival of 1492. The Mayans of Central America were perhaps the first to establish advanced education. Historian German Arcineigas calls Copan, the once-thriving Mayan urban center, “their seat of learning, their university city.”7 Enrique Oltra, who cites Spanish colonial scholar Diego de Landa as his authority, writes that the Mayans had “a large house, like a college of students of our time.”8 Perhaps the scholars now deciphering the Mayan hieroglyphs might give us more information about the early educational history of the ancient Mayan people of Central America.

The Mesoamerican cultures were technically cleaner than the Europeans, in pre-Columbian America the Natives would bathe daily while Europeans would go months on end not bathing.

I believe that there were a very large population at the Azores. The island chain part way between Portugal and the North American continent. The ruins are submerged now under 300 feet of ocean. As the last ice age covered the poles. All men and animals were driven toward the equator. Some of the most advanced ancestor humans lived in the fish rich area near the center of the Atlantic rift. A split where a constant flow of new material warms the water with the heat of magma. When there were enormous ice caps the ocean was hundreds of feet lower. But 10,000 bc things changed. The world was warming. The ice melting. The civilization was said to be sinking. As the ocean rose it put more weight on the thin mantle sinking it faster. They had boats and skills so they loaded up and in a week were looking at the Southeastern coast of what is now America. This was abandoned during the ice age. With the receding ice it was prime for them to settle. The new American Indians.
