When the Confederate Council of the Five Nations has for its object the establishment of the Great Peace among the people of an outside nation and that nation refuses to accept the Great Peace, then by such refusal they bring a declaration of war upon themselves from the Five Nations. Then shall the Five Nations seek to establish the Great Peace by a conquest of the rebellious nation.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Please note much of what she speaks of in the part of the letter I did post, I did not know and I thank her for this.

I received another letter from my dear Native American friend and I must admit she had a powerful message to share on the Native American view of those who has been their enemy for about 400 years.

While I am not going to share the complete letter because for the simple fact, her kindness and appreciation of the Arab people, our music and thing’s of this nature.

By the way, we do like the same kinds of singer's while I do not know all of them; Sami Yusuf is one of my favorites. I also like Yusuf Islam.

I do wish my friend to know I am learning a lot from her and will readily admit I find her to be an extraordinary person. Something I wish her to know we are more alike then I can explain, while we not explain in the same manner, the sentiment is there.

I tend to think if her people, was in the war under the method, which is occurring in the 21 century and has been going on for about a 100 years like in Palestine. I tend to think her people would be insulted with the same tag that is placed on many of the resistance groups that is fighting for the survival of their people. Even going as far as equating that the real terrorist are those who take land, resources and murder for the sake of their own gain, to even places the equation of religion into the mix for the differences and the essence of it’s beauty.

Just a little note with a smile, you never bored me in the least, please know I was so intrigued and interested, I read parts to my husband with the hope he could understand appreciate you too.

You mentioned about jealousy and I learned something to a better understanding of this word.

The worse part was during the wars in the 1800’s, when Andrew Jackson signed the extermination order that allowed the attempted extermination of all indigenous people on land that was forcibly taken; in what is now known as the United States of America.

So now let me share the Native American side of what has became even into the twenty-first century and internal war of wills between the Native American’s and as my friend put it the, “whites:”

My dear new friend,

I am home tonite, alone in a peaceful & quiet way, and come to the pc to see if you connected to my letter to you. I loved the picture you put there as a piece of beauty for representing us. I give you a strong WELCOME! Chen'an (thank you in my Dene language) and salaam aleikum to you in your language. As I would be so welcome in your home, the same is for you in my home with all love and respect. May our Great Creator keep you always & forever.

What you said I see as true of people who have not suffered the unimaginable suffering of oppression & wars. They would not understand that there is a comraderie between peoples who HAVE suffered these conditions. Since it is the white (for lack of a better word) people of this continent, for all the years of their existence here, who have caused the wars against so many, starting with our people, and have covered over this root cause with propaganda's and lies to themselves first, and then to all others, they have a collective subconscious that is very mentally off balance and they do not even know it - do not understand even themselves and have an undercurrent of many obsessions of hates and prejudices against such ones as you and I.

They - and I categorize them collectively because too many of them act the same way - "they" appear not to have a real grasp on what loving their neighbor means. So yes. They cannot - will not, understand that we may love what they BLINDLY hate. Oh, I have a lot to say about this.

I support your anger and for this I tell you why - Here in racist america, is where my anger took its roots on many many levels for a million daily overt & hidden (subtle)assaults on my human innocence and dignity for all the years of my life til right now. I can say right now I am at my angriest.

Here, in the land of DENIALS of TRUTHS where the people do not know WHO they are - here where even anger is never allowed to be honestly expressed so that the individual violences one sees here comes out in horrendous ways that costs its society jillions in money for social & agencies and institutions for their societal ills such as domestic violences, unwed teens & women, crimes so heinous that the statistics over and over state that american white males have the MOST psychopathic killers on the planet and crimes so horrific to include children killing their parents & grandparents, and parents killing their children. In the past few years now it is young teens killing their classmates and teachers in america's schools.

Their ugliest crimes are the crimes of sexual predators against babies and children and youth. This is widespread. Its always been a part of their long stay here, kept hidden and now in this century bursting out of its smiling, "normal appearing", "we are the best and most superior" lie of themselves. What else can you say about their pornography than that it is the true face of their evils? They are obsessed with sex. They are women haters at their core at the same time. I call them collectively mentally ill.

So back to that anger. For putting all this upon my eyes and sensibilities - for putting this on lands we still know is OURS - for polluting it in the literal and physical as well as the moral and spiritual, for this I will and do indict them for as long as they remain who they are and what they do. You cannot argue with ones who are thusly blind in their souls and spirits. They would as soon as kill you first before being shown in their faces who they REALLY are.

I have been told so many times, so stupidly and hypocritically and at the last, so very emptily, "you are so angry"! this told to me as an accusation against me. I had only ONE answer to them directly to their eyes: "YOU! You shall never touch my anger and I shall happily keep it as you do not have the GREAT CREDENTIAL to understand it. I will NEVER let you take away that anger that is so deserved for you and your great ignorances." So, simply, I tell them in the same breath: "I'll keep my anger thank you. It has kept me alive! READY FOR YOU."

Yes my dear new friend, our anger is precious because it is bought with blood and tears from those who do not deserve any recognition as being called "human". To murder me and my family, to steal my land, to crush my religion, to strangle my language, and kill my culture is worthy of all high and noble and direct anger. I NEVER let "them" touch that.

For us and for you and for all who have been trampled in GENOCIDE, we never forget who kills us. Never. In their holy book, the prophets of old called this "righteous anger". It is as it is. None of their outrageous hypocrisy to deny this rage they so cause by their unbounded ignorances, savage violences, gross immaturities of mind and emotions - none of these ugly traits that far far too many of these white americans and those they have assimilated like to themselves, will EVER change this righteous anger into defeat.

I don't mind being angry because I can identify its root and cause. I am aware. I know. I am not blown about by the winds of any uncertainty of who the "enemy" is. Evil DOES reside in human hearts. I have no illusions to "them" or any who lie to themselves(the worst kind of liar) and those who lie to the world. They have nothing of my respect but only my anger. Since my anger is overt and calm in its way, I am protected in the sense that I can never be dehumanized nor denigrated. I simpy know what I am and what I feel and WHY.

Many, many, far too many american peoples are like base creatures without thoughts to raise them to a level of being "human". I call them creatures. In such spiritual blackness. They, like their zion-ist counterpart and allies are from the same baseness. Lies are really who they are. Just Lies.

I have always thought to look for the good. It was our way. That belief has been so eroded and tainted by living in this american culture. So much so, that I came to the conclusion that there is no "american culture" and I believe that underneath in the dark caves of their collective subconscience - they sense this. This makes them envious of real cultures and especially ancient cultures. Envious because in their national character - that character who does not YET know who it is - does not carry a happy and truly deeply appreciation for the "others" different from them. If not so, then why did they burn human beings as "witches" early early in their history? These were their own! From there it seemed "stealing" human beings from Africa was their right. Then, came the waves of immigrants and we who study these peoples - we who are outsiders in our own lands - we who have endured and still endure displacements, murders, continual violences of all manner - we who STILL are enduring the never-ending land thefts of what little we have left - we KNOW what it is we are looking at. We are looking into the pit of the american soul - or the soul-less american pit. We know this lean old carcass well. It is no culture - ancient or young.

I am not apologetic for what I SEE and EXPERIENCE every day of my life. I will be righteously angered til the end of my life. I will and I will live with this knowing these tigers will not change their stripes. Knowing that the american peoples are really a peoples who suffer from Culture Envy.

From this base envy comes their hatreds all covered up in all the ways one can try to cover up what is distasteful and ugly, that is, those who are AWARE they are not what they claim to be.

I've been in the argument with them so many times concerning statements like these I make here with their reaction being that I am the one with the problem. I am the one who is prejudiced. Its such a stupidity of response from them that I just say, well, "it was not we Indians who displaced anyone. It was not we Indians who slaughtered and massacred your children, your women and men. It was not we Indians who STOLE A LAND from ANYONE. I say it was not we Indians who built jails for our peoples. We did not build mental institutions, nor were our waters polluted when you came. We did not war upon our brother and sister Nations. NO! It was only when you came among us and the longer you were among us that we began to disintegrate at your black touch. The more we were with you the less we became in our broad and wide existence. I have to remind them ....

When they fall down in tears and in anguish at their OWN terrible and mighty mighty crimes against us & all others they helped to destroy, and when they beg our forgiveness and tell of their great sorrow and say from their hearts "I, WE, ARE SORRY FOR WHAT WE DID TO YOU" - then the anger will subside and we, being the "real humans" we are, we will forgive.

It is a misty and far off dream.

I am a person of great hopes always. I know it will never happen. That is realism. I say prove yourself to me O american.

No, I am not a hater. I love peace - quiet and lovely PEACE. I especially do not love anger, but it is an emotion the Great Creator put within all (to whom it applies) - know there is an injustice unrequited happening. It is there in everyone everywhere and it is supposed to be expressed in a way that some solution must be done to take away that anger. If no solution is worked upon, then, sorry, but that anger must remain. It will go in a bad way if there is no balance in the spirit and the mind of the one who holds it. If the source of the anger comes from outside and is perpetuated upon another in grievous injustices, what in the world would anyone do under such conditions? Normal, natural anger arrives.

Here is where hate is learned - by beating another to the ground, blaming him for his own victimization, might making himself right(in his own mind), and then feeling a perverse false pride in being the angry ape victimizer! I think of america in this way. Truly they are the ones who are the victimizers of any and all who get in their way - to call them angry "apes" is to insult the might of the beautiful gorrilla!

I do not like name-calling. Its such an immature act. I am only trying to find an apt description of terrible terrible bad behavior - a giant mountain of immaturity in these people who believe they are so superior to all other "real peoples".

Now I indict them outwardly - truthfully as they are - as I have experienced them - observed them - truly known them as only one who lives among them yet have kept us as "outsiders" always....so afraid we will soar past them in all the creative ways of our particular cultural way. Yes.

And so it is with all the peoples of color (for lack of a better word) in front of them. They will not have it. Not as long as they have THE power over us all. What really scares them most is that guilt that we will come back at them like they have done to us. They of course will never acknowledge this. They will not acknowledge it because as yet they do not even let it come up to their conscious mind. It lurks in their subconscience - too far down to really wake them up to their own reality of being - too far down to really know, even, who they are.

So our anger has to be so very unrequited because how can you come to solutions with a peoples who don't even really know who they are? For the few innocent among them I feel a tenderness of sorrow. They will only inherit that legacy of hates.

I speak of them collectively and it sounds unfair, but sorry to say, I cannot but help to see the "big picture" of them. I have to be angry at their badness otherwise I am an empty shell claiming to be human.

We Indians speak of ourselves as "the real human beings", "the real people", or just "the people" - the meaning is collective for us as we once lived as a collective for peace and for survivals and a good life. This was before the white man came. We were Nations and we did not war upon each other as the white man said we did. We did not call our leaders "chiefs" either. That also came when the white man came. We did not call ourselves "warriors" either. What we actually were and what was told of us was the white man's low intellect of observation and understanding. He never took our peace in return for peace. Here is just one example of our way of governing - in Peace: http://www.iroquoisdemocracy.pdx.edu/html/greatlaw.html The immigrants who landed on our shores even stole part of this in the creation of their "DEMOCRACY". Of course they did not give any credit to the ones who created it.

The lies of us began immediately.I will save that for another time. Its too depressing and this mail is already so very big.

really have said alot about that anger issue. Simply put: you and I and our peoples have righteous anger. Period. It is normal and healthy to have it. Oh if the conditions were reversed for the american white peoples as they have done to others, you can bet they would be screaming like poor stuck pigs. But since they never put themselves into their victims shoes, they cannot suffer to imagine all the levels of destruction that their victims experience. And if their victims express anger they label them as "terrorists" and "savages"!

Again, I speak of them collectively as I have known them. In my daily life I take them as they come. If they are decent and kind I accept them as such and if not, which is most of the time, I stand guarded. They will need a lesson in "encountering difficult people"! For isn't that what we are to them?

Afterall, here, the undercurrent of their violent past is, still, "the only good Indian is a dead Indian". Its true. The wild west is running in the veins of "cowboys and Indians" yet today. There is a picture in a book about the Bush family history and little "george" is in full regalia cowboy outfit. I rest my case. He is the epitome of the american people "collectively". No Yale University education has ever changed that mindset.

I hope I did not bore you to sleep. I could go on and on but after a while all the above subject starts to get tiresome and I would be sure it would be the same for you who have to read it. Forgive me that. Otherwise all that I said is, sadly just a drop in the bucket of words that can be said.

On a much happier note, I wanted to say that I love your blog and all its advertisements of sites. Still haven't read the entire blog, but I will because you have so much to teach everyone. If stupid, blind and hateful people respond then it just shows they are unteachable. They will just have to wallow in that and be the worse for it. As you said and I agree, they make their choice. To be unteachable - what a rotten condition.

To change the subject abruptly: I have to tell you how much I love music. Especially world music. Arabic music is my favorite. I've been this way about Middle Eastern music since I was a child and did not know anything yet of your culture. I was mesmerized always by all things from the Middle East.
