Healing our Nation
(MY WORDS ARE NOT WRITTEN IN STONE, ONLY TO OBSERVE)
My sisters and brothers across Turtle Island, we are all messengers, so hear me through a sacred breath of the Creator. I am about to write about generations of healing and the rebirth of our Mi'kmaq way of living.
Our language and customs of our people has not been forgotten.
The path that leads from your mother at birth, like stories of ancient times and our healing, customs .and language now are even older.
Our Mi'kmaq people across North America , had kept our culture underground for many centuries ,but survived all struggles that lay before them. Much of traditions has been lost but still run in our blood streams, to the roots of our forefathers that we honor today.
Lay heed that the simplest and smallest things in life give one the greatest rewards.
We were all born in a bundle of sacred water,the most important natural law of our land, and we when we pause to take our last sacred breath, we leave as we came into the creation on Mother Earth.
Healing such as our Mi'kmaq language comes from energy. We walk the spirit , and hear the sound of our land. We feel the winds and study the waterfalls and all elements that are here in Mother Earth's Garden.
This has be from the Earth and through our tongues, passed down from endless generations . It needs a distinct openness that has not been found, only through the blood of our ancestors, like the rivers and streams that flow to the four oceans on Earth.
To Heal mentally, physically, spiritually, and all sickness, one must encounter experiences of living off the land , Mother Earth , and seek a path in life of healthy living, with the Great Spirit teachings that are hidden in every living thing that Mother provides for us. We get theses gifts all free for our inner well being, the spirit that comes naturally on our many journeys we seek to maintain.
But ,sometimes through stories and sacred ceremonies the plants , animals, forest and streams are all our relations.We may have to connect ourselves to have balance among our people in those communities where we can learn and hear our Elders who speak wisdom with the greatest of respect.
To the end of our journey , we have to tone down our sacred voice and send our thoughts into a meadow of natural smell, sound, sight, and touch. We must speak the Language and sacred words of our ancestors so we can maintain our Mi'kmaq way of life,who are a proud and nobble people , (Of the Dawn).
