In this world it's all about
getting
and I think in the old-world the way that I
was told by the
elders is that it's all about giving. How
much can give to other people, how
generous can you be?
We don't just pay for ourselves. we don't just
pray for our families, or the people we know.
We pray for everybody in the world, in all of nature,
in the songs that we sing, in our ceremonies when we
have our renewal of life at the
beginning of the year around
the winter solstice. That's for you too. It's
for everybody.
I would say America needs to take a look at the
native values structure, at the native values system. In our native way, in our native practice we
took only what we needed to feed our
families.
We didn't believe in excess, we didn't
believe in
accumulating material, we didn't believe in
stockpiling, we didn't believe in hoarding
and the things that we see with other
societies around the world
A lot of what America
want us to do is to not live inside of ourselves
to not be who we are
so that they can go on with its agenda.
But then if we just stop
and really focus on the wisdom that lies
inside of us
and couple that with what we know
about
true history of the U.S. But I think that will
actually
lead us to a different space. A lot of movement,
change, transformation, revolution, will
happen from that space.
Be in a good way with everything
and everything you need will be provided to you. But the moment we start
taking and not giving back. Taking
without ceremony and without prayer
and that's when it all starts
falling apart.
Your world starts crumbling. America's got to realize that.
Where all living here, on Mother Earth 
together and its going to take all of us
together
to change things and so since we haven't
listened to Indigenous people,
it's time, it's time to listen.
