"Oh God! Like the Thunderbird of old I shall rise again out of the sea; I
shall grab the instruments of the white man's success- his education, his
skills, and with these new tools I shall build my race into the proudest
segment of your society."
One thing the Indian people do well is adapt. This is why we survive. We
must learn to keep our culture, but also to learn the good things that other
races have to offer. Education is the future weapon of Native people. We
must learn the legal system, health, science and engineering. Indian people
have great contributions to make to the world. We need to educate ourselves
so we can better protect the land and our children. Otherwise, we will lose
the things and the land that we have.
Great Spirit, make me teachable today.
It is too bad Tecumseh never knew what a Chamelion was. But in reality he
felt the connection from the Great Spirit. The vision of a Nation one day
being of all people and considered the Rainbow Nation. I do not believe he
was refering to Jessie Jacksons rainbow or the Gay communities Rainbow but
he was refering to ALL people as the RAINBOW. The Chamelion teaches us how
to adapt just as many other creatures do. We should take time out to listen
to our Elders and Respect them because they do have many good teachings.
Thank you for helping me to survive all these years and showing me the
lessons from the Creature world.
