"Man belongs to the earth,
Earth does not belong to man"

Beautiful "Art" by Henry Peter and Music by Walela ~ I have no Indian name

Taiwan Music and Taiwan Scenery. I've already gotten a few messages asking for the name of the artist/CD. And I don't know. And if I did know it'd be in Chinese and I wouldn't be able to type it. I put   more...the song onto my computer from a CD my girlfriend owns....and the artist lives in the same small town as her friend and that's where she bought the CD.  less

Loving Me (*Lyrics)

Last night I had a dream
I leapt from this mountain top
And I flew off into the wild yonder blue

Because your loving me
I can be anything
So how could it fall
When your loving me

Ooh your   more...love is

You know your love is my night
And your love is my day
You know you give me the high
Know you give me the low

So now i fly for you x3

-Interlude-

When your loving me
We can be anything
We could raise it on high
Be your everything.....

"SYMBOLISM OF THE EAGLE FEATHER"

~A Lumbee Story~

In the beginning, the Great Spirit above gave to the animals and birds wisdom and knowledge and the power to talk to men. He sent these creatures   more...to tell man that he showed himself through them. They would teach a chosen man sacred songs and dance, as well as, much ritual and lore.

The creature most loved by the Great Spirit was the eagle, for he tells the story of life. The Eagle, as you know, has only two eggs, and all living things in the world are divided into two. Here is man and woman, male and female and this is true with animals, birds, trees, flowers and so on. All things have children of two kinds so that life may continue. Man has two eyes, two hands, two feet and he has a body and soul, substance and shadow.

Through his eyes, he sees pleasant and unpleasant scenes, through his nostrils he smells good and bad odors, with his ears he hears joyful news and words that make him sad. His mind is divided between good and evil. His right hand he may often use for evil, such as war or striking a person in anger. But his left hand, which is near his heart, is always full of kindness. His right foot may lead him in the wrong path, but his left foot always leads him the right way, and so it goes; he has daylight and darkness, summer and winter, peace and war, and life and death.

In order to remember this lesson of life, look to the great eagle, the favorite bird of the Great Spirit. The eagle feather is divided into two parts, part light, and part dark. This represents daylight and darkness, summer and winter, peace and war, and life and death. So that you may remember what I have told you, look well on the eagle, for his feathers, too, tell the story of life.

Look at the feathers I wear upon my hand, the one on the right is large and perfect and is decorated; this represents man. The one on my left is small and plain; this represents woman. The eagle feather is divided into two parts, dark and white. This represents daylight and darkness, summer and winter. For the white tells of summer, when all is bright and the dark represents the dark days of winter.

My children, remember what I tell you. For it is YOU who will choose the path in life you will follow -- the good way, or the wrong way.

UNREPENTANT: Kevin Annett and Canada's Genocide

...a powerful tool to expose the genocidal racism that lies behind the liberal smiley-face facade of Canadian society ... a veritable kick in the groin.
Larry Gambone, review of UNREPENTANT, Any Time Now, February 2007

UNREPENTANT chronicles Canada's dirty secret - the planned extermination of aboriginal people in church-run Indian Residential Schools and a clergyman's struggle to document and make public these crimes. For the first time since its release in New York last November, this ground-breaking film will be screened before audiences in central Canada.

UNREPENTANT is an intensely human story based on the first-hand testimonies of aboriginal survivors of Canada's residential schools, where more than 50,000 children died between 1890 and 1984. Their passionate accounts are interwoven with former United Church minister Kevin Annett's own story of how he faced firing, defrocking, and the loss of his family, livelihood and reputation because of his efforts to help residential school survivors and bring out the full truth of the murder and torture that occurred in these schools.

UNREPENTANT is not only about a terrible past, but how the legacy of legal genocide in Canada continues to destroy aboriginal people and the land all Canadians occupy. Despite the continual efforts by Canadian church and state to impede this film through a campaign of harrassment, misinformation, blacklisting and death threats, Kevin Annett will be bringing UNREPENTANT for public showing in Ontario and Quebec between March 6 and 18, 2007.

Kevin will be speaking publicly and showing UNREPENTANT on these dates:

Sudbury: Tuesday, March 6 2007
Ottawa: Thursday and Friday, March 8 and 9 2007
Toronto-London area: Saturday and Sunday, March 10 and 11 2007

Formal Apology to Residential School
Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a historic apology for more than a century of abuse and cultural loss involving Indian residential schools.
  more...
The Prime Minister acknowledged the government's role in removing and isolating children from their homes, families and culture.

Speaking in the House of Commons Harper acknowledged, "The treatment of children in Indian residential schools is a sad chapter of our history," "Some sought, as was infamously said, to kill the Indian in the child."

Harper continued, "This policy was wrong, caused great harm and has no place in our country,"

Residential school survivors from across Canada -- many wearing traditional clothing -- filled the House of Commons, which postponed other business for the day, to hear the Government of Canada's official apology, which began at 3 o'clock.

Close to 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and M?tis children were removed from their communities throughout most of the last century and forced to attend residential schools.  less

I wrote this song in Australia at a time when there was a lot of discussion about Aboriginal land rights. Although written with the Australian situation in mind, the theme of displaced native inhabitants   more...is a universal one.

Lyrics:

The dark-skinned man in the forest
Is singing the song of his freedom
A song of the land that is lent him
To hunt and to live and to breathe in.

He sings of the good and the hard times
And the ancient unchanging past
And the land that will nourish his people,
The land that will claim him at last.

The white man rides up to the black man:
"If you've got a camp here, then move it.
This land belongs to me now
And I've got the papers to prove it."

The dark-skinned man in the forest
Of houses and shops without cease
Sings of the loss of his freedom,
And is jailed for disturbing the peace.  less
