I’m the great grandson of one and the grandson of another. It infuriates me to think someone could treat my grandfather how they did. He’s a truly great man. Shame on all those who participated in the genocide of our culture and our people.

[@preparednessminded2985]

Growing up in a prodominately white and black community was hard. If you werent white or black they shunned you or attempt to bully you. Im 30 now. I now understand why it wasnt easy. Being native in the 90s and early 2000s wasnt easy, but my blackfoot native pride was to strong for them to crush my spirit. The creator made an animal that was a warrior to be reckoned with. Stay proud stay strong and dont let them make you regret being what the creator made you to be.

[@HroduuulfSonOfHrodger]

Our two Peoples met over a thousand years ago in the Northeastern portions of Canada/USA. While there was peace and trading, it eventually ended in bloodshed, and my People retreated back to Greenland and Iceland. It's an amazing history to embrace, especially knowing the majority of people still believe Christopher Columbus "discovered" the Americas in 1492 when there were people already living here. Regardless of our initial contact and their dire results, know now that today in 2021, this Germanic/Norse Heathen tribesman embraces and supports two local Native powwows and attends both annually with my wolfdog, Beowulf. I remind myself that we are all more alike than we are different. This current age of division has an unseen puppet master attempting to turn us all against one another based on something as silly as the colors red, white, black, brown, and yellow. Let's come together and end this war, and strive again for peace among People, all People: Americans, Europeans, Africans, and Asians. The only color that matters is that we all bleed red. This can be what unites us As One. I wish to redeem my ancestors who met you 1,000 years ago. Peace will always be superior to war. I will beat my drums in your honor and to recognize the history of our Peoples and the alignment that should've been, could've been, and would've been, if only we understood one another through language and culture. Most of those barriers have been removed in 2021, so there should be nothing stopping us this time around. I will always be the first to offer my hand to help those who seek friendship. And I will always stand up for, and am willing to die for, those who are being abused or taken advantage of in any way. I am a Warrior first. My People were Warriors known by names such as Viking or Teuton. My ancestors were some of the rare few who stood up to the Roman Empire and were never conquered. Their blood runs through my veins. And my blood charges me to act, to help, to defend, and to attack in defense of others. Africans bestowed upon me the boon of my nickname: "The White Lion." I am Kevin (Kveldúlfr - "Evening Wolf"), the son of Roger (Hróðgeirr - "Famed Spear"), eldest brother of Roger II (Hróðgeirr - lil "Famed Spear") and Jason (Jósteinn - "Horse Stone"). I am proud of my heritage and I embrace the educational process of sharing with, and learning about, all other cultures, traditions, and heritages. Let us stand together. Let us stand up for Our Peoples. AND let us stand against anyone who opposes us, our Tribal Paths, or our continuation of our Old Ways and Old God/s and Spirits. I will stand with all of you! We will not be silenced, and Our Peoples will never be erased, no matter how hard the Oppressors attempt to replace us with what they call "civilization." Let us bleed red together arm-in-arm, arms in hand as the Warriors we are meant to be like those Warriors who came before us! The war for Peace begins with us, as we are the first line of defense of our Old Traditions. We should not want our future generations to become the last line of defense. We need to fix things now while we still have breath in our lungs and "fight" left in our fists, always remembering that our combined mind-power is victorious Absolute over their might-power 100% of the time. I await Óðinn to throw his spear Gungnir overhead of all opposing participants as the signal, and symbol, to begin the inevitable redemption of our ancient Ancestors.
