I agree , in the 80’s we learned many anishnabe things . The first song we sang was Annie couhouni , and the first instrument was the flute and they told us it was a native instrument . We was sitting in a cercle . All the teaching was based on native ways. My school was on the ancestral territory of kitigan zibi . It is still an anishnabe territory because it was unceded . I was raised of reserve but beside the river where our ancestors lived before the government created those reserves. My dad never liked the idea of reserves because at first it was like a jail . But I have family on my mom side and my dad side who are on reserve .

When I worked in a nursing i was having trouble with a supervisor. I kept having these dreams about a Black bear with a blue cape on the stairs going up to the 3rd floor. At first i was scared to pass the bear but eventually I had the courage to run up those stairs and that bear just looked at me and walked away. I always thought it was my gardian angel but now it all makes sense. I ended up getting offered a job on the 3rd floor. SO BEAUTIFUL Thank you xo

That beaver teaching is very powerful. I've spent my whole life trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do, why I'm here, what's my purpose. And the longer I search, not doing anything with myself, the older, and sicker, and more tired I get every year. Someday, I hope to figure it out, and have everything fall perfectly into place. No more doubts. No more confusion. No more indecision. Just know who I am and why I am, and go do it.

The answer who you are is inside your heart, a cosmic code which is memorised there. You only need to read it and be happy with yourself, whatever you do and wherever you go, just feel happy inside your heart.

[@JanCarol11]

Sometimes you must go all the way to the bottom to find the truth of your being here. As westerners we are trained to ignore our heart to submit to society's twisted ways. This training is difficult to shed, and the teaching of humility brings us to a place where we can accept That Which is Greater Than Ourselves, and it becomes clear how we are to serve That.

[@garekbushnell3454]

I spent much of my life trying to find this thing, and feeling that I was wasting my time. Things began to turn around for when I made a decision with my whole heart, that I was really going to look for love, and not care about about society or how I was percieved. From this, I believe, i met a person who became my teacher, and who embodied the qualities of honesty and truth. This person helped my find my gift, and supported me while I grew it. So maybe you can get help, like I did. For me it began with a commitment in my heart to truth and reality over what I thought other people wanted to see from me. Listen to your heart.

You represent nothing other than your own racist opinion. I have Jesus on my side, and the Holy Spirit. If you can not see humans as brethren, then you will perish.

[@WazigeLogica]

So what you're one 16th? Like it is a matter of genetics alone. Colour etc does not make who you are in your heart. What your soul is is something beyond the body in the end, anyways. Just treasure that love inside of you, that you feel for all people and all beings. I have been wrestling much of my life with my genetic make-up. I'm Finnish, Ukrainian, French and Lakota.. Possibly many more things.. I have felt so often, due to history and due to my fathers attitude and people's shallow judgement based on appearence, like I was not allowed to feel that part of me that is Native American. Now I say, to heck with that! I am all of the above and spirit first and for-most. I love and try my best to be a good human being. And like that, I have found peace. I don't need anyones permission to feel what I feel or to be who I am except that of the great spirit that made me and all of us!. Much love to you

Now His Star encircles the earth and releases all the karma of men, so under suffering they may awaken to their one true purpose, to serve the Almighty Father in the strictest humility and obedience. Let us pray for this success, for the existence of man and earth hangs by the tenderst of light threads, which we must strengthen by making our every breath and lives a prayer to the Great Spirit.

I love the teaching of honesty, speaking from the heart. Thank you for making these teachings public. I'm gonna write down some ideas I got from this teaching number 4. The idea of paper agreements, contracts, etc. are all for things that are impersonal, when money becomes the basis of relationships. It creates a transactional, impersonal society and a culture of appearances rather than substance where people are definitely going to be unfulfilled. It's when people are forced to act not in their own interests but ruled over by a group of people exploiting them for their own benefit you get people forced into specific roles in a structure not of their own making that they don't have control over and then are forced to carry out the duties of those roles regardless of their own desires, regardless of what's in their hearts. Then you get the conditioning to follow orders and confusion about purpose in life and the dependence on the dominant structures or ruling class for a worldview and direction, e.g. patriotism. Just some thoughts inspired by this video.

[@midnaurthqua6773]

The truth and the power of those teachings have eternity value. The world has traded these values for quick-fix-throw away goods and values.

True traditions and wisdom never die. I'm happy to see a re-emergence of your native faith and tribal identity. We, european, have been torn apart so much by the desert religion (christianity) that we've have lost our core identity and our tribal allegiance...but it's changing now too. We are becoming more aware of the old ways, the gods of our forefathers, our ancestors history and our sacred teachings. Glory and strenght to your people and may the Ojibways live forever!

I'm 17.7% Chippewa Ojibwe found out through my half sister its from my Father's Great Grandmothers heritage. And being adopted I was able to reconnect to my half sister after I was adopted I have been trying desperately to find the truth of who my ancestors were. It thanks to not giving up, though I am adopted into a family, one not of my ancestory culture they support me and learn morr about my heritage. Sadly I do not have anyone but my half sister and sister that could give me the answer to my Native heritage once I was able to relocate them. I was teased in school for not looking like my adopted parents, I had no connection to my heritage identity and felt out of place. But now, now even if its only a small percent I can be proud to say who I am, and that I want to learn more about my heritage.
