LMAO!!! @ “Walking Eagle”. Hahaha.

President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York. He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate. Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his “Red sisters and brothers”. At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, “Walking Eagle”. The proud President Obama accepted the plaque and then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds. A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name they had given to the President.

They explained that “Walking Eagle” is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.

Memory Heisel - That’s the Crows of Montana. I think the Blackfeet could have came up with a better name. But “Walking Eagle” fits. Lmao. So full of shut he can’t fly!!!!!! Lmao.

For real tho! I hate when someone says well just get over it, it was the past. The past is still part of us. How can we forget? If we forget, it’s like we are forgetting who we are. I remember telling someone about the Hmong genocide & their response was “it was in the past, forget it & move on”. SMH. Made me upset.

Nus Vaj - Only idiots forget. You’re suppose to use your past as a motivation for your future. When you forget you are lost. It’s like walking into the woods and forgetting where you parked. Good luck finding your way home.

‎NoJustice‬ ‪#‎NoPeace‬ ‪#‎YouAreNotBornRacist‬ ‪YouAretaughtToBeRacist. Stories like this won’t make mainstream media because it doesn’t fit there “agenda” but this story needs to be heard. Racism hasn’t disappeared or died down. It’s alive and still kicking! I remember the story of Chai Vang, a Hmong hunter who shot 6 people back in November 2004. Orange ribbons were put up all over the place to mourn the “victims” and in that same year “save a deer, shoot a Hmong” bumper stickers was made. Shortly after that a Hmong man was shot dead and his body violated. In July 2006, Fong Lee was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer. Now we have this case. Another Hmong hunter who was brutally beating. All these cases (and many more not mentioned) are injustice and acts of racism. The sad thing about this is that the white folks who are involved aren’t getting charged with anything. I’m not saying all white people are bad but the ones who are, are getting away with crap like this.

This needs to stop!

Native American-Turanian Brotherhood: First Nations First

And we drum and drum and drum… - This picture is showing Siberian Itenman (‘Itelmens’) women in their traditional dress. Itenmans (which means ‘existing’, ‘living here’, ‘an inhabitant of dry land’ or just ‘a human being’) are the original inhabitants of the Kamchatka peninsula, East Siberia (Northeast Asia). (The Itenmans (‘Itelmens’) are traditionally fishermen and hunters and they are reputably the best herbalists among the Siberian peoples. Kamchatka peninsula in East Siberia was colonialized in the 18th century by the Russians. Russian colonizers brutally used conquered peoples in the suppression of their neighbours. At the beginning of the 18th century the conversion of the Itelmens to Russian Orthodox Christianity had already begun. Monasterys were built, and from the 1740s on Russian peasants were settled on the peninsula. The Itenmans (‘Itelmens’) found themselves under strong economic and ideological pressure.

The agents collecting tribute were often neither fair nor honest and went unpunished. When the amount of fur was not considered to be sufficient, they requisitioned dried fish, seal oil, cedar nuts, and even sledges and boats. A part of the population was constantly kept hostage. The Itenmans (‘Itelmens’) expressed their anger in several uprisings (1706, 1711, 1731) and in 1740 when almost all the Itenmans (Itelmens) rose to fight Russians. The uprisings were brutally suppressed and many Itenmans (Itelmens) were deported and their tribes dispersed. Gradually the Itenmans (Itelmens) had to resign themselves to the presence of the Russians. Following the example of the Russians they began to use iron tools, fishing nets, new utensils and clothes. Survival was hard for the Itenmans (Itelmens). The Russian tax-collectors were not easily satisfied, and tributes were demanded even of the dead.

Diseases (typhoid fever and smallpox, for instance) introduced by the Russians had a devastating effect. In the 19th century trading became a little more active. Firearms, ammunition, alcohol, tobacco, tea and other usual colonial goods reached the territory of the Itenmans (Itelmens). Quite soon many people had debts, frequently as a result of a susceptibility to vodka… Despite colonialisation, assimiliation through christianization and communism Itenman (Itelmen) tribal Shamanism survived…) Copyright: Morten Jorgensen mojofoto.
