🌾 Happy National Native American Day! 🌟

Today, we honor and celebrate the rich traditions, cultures, and remarkable accomplishments of the diverse Native American tribes. 🌄 It's a day to acknowledge the contributions of the indigenous peoples who have been an integral part of our nation's history. 🌿

Let's take a moment to appreciate their deep connection to the land, their beautiful artistry, and their enduring wisdom that continues to inspire us. 🏞️

As we commemorate this day, let's also recognize the importance of preserving and respecting their traditions, lands, and rights. Together, we can foster greater understanding and appreciation for the Native American heritage. 🌎

It's December 29th. 🩸 On this day in 1890, US troops under the command of Colonel James W. Forsyth massacred more than 300 Sioux Native Americans in the area of Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. 

In the late 1880s prior to the massacre, the atmosphere amongst the Native Americans on their reservations was one of desperation and despair. The US Government had been confiscating more and more of their treaty-guaranteed lands and cutting their food rations. In 1889, a Paiute tribesman named Wovoka had a vision that if the Native Americans appealed to their Great Spirit by performing the sacred Ghost Dance day in and day out, their white oppressors would disappear and the Native Americans would once again rule the Great Plains. 

Ghost Dance performances quickly spread throughout the reservations. The Army tried to stop the practice, but the Native Americans persevered – even after the police shot Chief Sitting Bull dead. Sitting Bull’s followers fled to join Chief Spotted Elk's tribe. 

The US 7th Cavalry forced Chief Spotted Elk and his Sioux tribe to go to Wounded Knee Creek where the soldiers could keep watch over them. On December 29th, 1890, the soldiers attempted to disarm the Sioux. One man resisted, and the others began to dance. The soldiers opened fire. Within minutes, at least 300 Native Americans were dead – including many women, children, and even babies. 

Typical of the times, the American public generally approved of the massacre. They felt it was justified to avenge the 7th Cavalry's defeat and General George Custer's killing at the Battle of Little Bighorn four years earlier. Twenty soldiers received the Medal of Honor, the US military’s highest and most prestigious commendation, for their actions at Wounded Knee.

These days, thankfully, Wounded Knee is not touted as a victory against a dangerous enemy, but is remembered as an outright massacre. Congress officially apologized in 1990, but for some unfathomable reason, they’ve still not passed the “Remove the Stain Act,” which would revoke the Wounded Knee Medals of Honor. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Actually, today is the perfect day for snow. Its the first snow of the season here on the last day of the calendar year, just in time for bringing in all that is needed. ❄❄❄ In the traditional Cherokee way, the northern direction is associated with the Blue Man of the North. He is associated with winter, frost, cold and cold-blooded animals. ❄❄❄ The North is also associated with wisdom and will. As the lakes and waters freeze, they leave a frozen mirror with which we can see our potential. ❄❄❄ Winter can bring unwanted feelings of spiritual depression and defeat, unhappiness, failure and weakness. But if we focus on frozen mirror lake, we turn our focused energy on our potential and on what regeneration and rebirth comes after the ice melts. ❄❄❄ Take a minute to consider what needs to be frozen in your life and what warrants regeneration. What parts of your Self do you see in the mirror? What will be revealed when the ice melts? ❄❄❄ #winterwisdom #nativeamerican #nativewisdom #creolemoon #snow #whatsinyourconjure #authordenisealvarado #authorsofinstagram (at Prescott, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsELd_UFWg9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a6tuxqbu9i0b

Language Masters

I know Indigenous People spoke many, many languages, hundreds. We shared some commonality with sign language, etc and a few core languages. But, what recently caught my attention while studying Taino was that when Columbus and his hoard arrived, within 3 days, we were able to answer many questions they had and were able to speak with them. Similar to how Squanto learned english in months and Samoset in days of observing the pilgrims.

Backtrack to Tainos. Remember, Columbus was Italian and not very good at Spanish or Portuguese as his writings show despite living in Europe and being on ships with these sailors for months. Yet the natives learned, not only all three languages, but were able to realize that they were speaking different languages almost at once and when suddenly under duress.

The level of education/intelligence one would need nowadays to pull of that is incredible. Not just masters of linguistics, but, multilingual. And not just one or two Natives, but, almost all of them. You try learning a new language (or 3) from your immigrant neighbors in 3 days to the point of being conversational.

Yet, history still sees us as just ignorant, happy to please, indians.

~ Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery, teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus Walk in Balance with the passing of each glorious Sun. A'ho _/\_ According to the Native People, the Sacred Space is the space between exhalation and inhalation. To Walk in Balance is to have Heaven (spirituality) and Earth (physicality) in Harmony. #lakota #native #nativeamerican #firstnations #nativepeople #wisdom #prayer #wakantanka #greatspirit #life #nativewisdom #spirituality #spirit #spiritual #earth #land #connection #focus #harmony #healingenergy #light #healing #medicine #sacredspace #trust #love #peace #blessings #walkinbalance
