You are rightfully entitled to your opinion on the Seven Fires Prophecy, samspin.

On the term 'whites', I have a major problem.

In my opinion, there can be no distinction between people based on skin colour. The problems concerning climate Change are the result of many factors, one of them perhaps being the activity of the human race and has nothing to do with the colour of ones skin. The blame, if warranted, is world-wide and not confined to 'whites'.

To make such distinctions is based more on cultural values than on anything else. The cooking fires of India and China bear as much responsibility as the Industrial Revolution and the current global dependency on oil.

Race


While the word race is now widely used in everyday language, it is of recent origin. It is not to be confused with the term "racial discrimination," which focuses on behaviour, nor with the concept of ethnocentrism (the belief that ones own ethnic group is superior to others). While racism focuses on the biological differences among humans, prejudice can be linked to social or cultural aspects.

Racialization

The Idea of Races

"Race" first appeared in the English language around the 17th century. North Americans began to use the term in their scientific writings by the late 18th century. Racism was developed and popularized by scientists in the 19th century, as they were regarded as purveyors of truth. At the time this ideology also explained political and economic conflicts in various parts of the world and legitimized the dominant role of British capitalism in the world economic system. Racism is universal and is evident in many different ethno-racial groups. It is not limited to white groups.
By the mid-19th century, there was general agreement that the worlds population could be divided into a variety of races: groups of people who shared similar phenotypical attributes, eg, skin colour, hair texture. This process of race categorization is referred to as racialization and is necessary for the emergence of racism as an ideology.

Racism


An ideology based on the idea that humans can be separated into distinct racial groups and that these groups can be ranked on a hierarchy of intelligence, ability, morality etc.

Racism and racial discrimination

RACISM AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION are a clear affront to the fundamental truth that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights". Yet, six decades after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and four decades after the entry into force of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1969), the principles of equality and non-discrimination are still far from a universal reality.

There you have it.

Racism is just a false ideology and baseless concept born out of ignorance and a determination to dominate and control. Those responsible for putting this idiotic idea to the public mind in the first place are long dead and silent, yet their works live on to poison the lives of people everywhere.

There really are no such things as racial groups to divide the human race.

It's time to put such a backward idea behind us.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to him too. He is a fascinating man with a message that rings true on certain chords. May he go at his prescribed time and not before.

William Commanda is still recovering from his illness and, unfortunately, had to miss the ceremony for the Order of Canada. However, he did write a prayer which I received from his office in Kanata.

Here is the text:



Kwey Kwey:


My greetings to Your Excellencies, and Honoured Guests:


I send my deep regrets that I am not able to be with you all on this special occasion. At ninety five, your body does not always allow you do all the things you might wish.


When I look back at history over the years, I continue to be inspired by those who have contributed to strengthening respect for Mother Earth, promoting harmony amongst peoples and nations, and building a strong social safety net for all. These were the fundamental values of my ancestors, and I bring their dreams for a better world for all to this prayer at the May 2009 Order of Canada Investiture Ceremony. I am glad to be the face of the First Peoples amongst so many who serve society with passion and commitment. I offer my congratulations to them and wish them well in the effort to secure a better future for all. Our ancestral prophecies foretold the day when the all the peoples of the world would unite in Turtle Island to create such a world, and on a day like today, despite the darkness that surrounds us, I feel the strength of their conviction that a better world will emerge with the efforts of individuals.


Megwetch to you all for this hope. Merci. Ginawaydaganuc- We Are All Connected.


William Commanda

From the OP (note bolded part):

Originally posted by masquaThe Seventh Prophet was younger than the others who had come and there was a glowing light from his eyes. He said that there would come a time when the waters had been so poisoned that the animals and plants that lived there would fall sick and begin to die. Much of the forests and prairies would be gone so the air would begin to lose the power of life. The way of the mind brought to the red, black, and yellow nation by the white nation would bring danger to the whole eart. In this time there will be a new people who will emerge from the clouds of illusion. They will retrace their steps to find the treasures that had been left by the trail. The stories that had been lost will be returned to them. They will remember the Original Instructions and find strength in the way of the circle. Their search will take them to the elders and the new people will ask for guidance. But many of the elders will have walked the Path of the Souls to the Star Web. Many elders will have forgotten their wisdom and they will not be able to help. Some of the elders will be silent because no one has asked them for their wisdom.



In the news today:

For generations, Blackfoot peoples would use sacred bundles in elaborate and secret ceremonies that tied the northern plains Indians to the land and instilled a sense of history and social order in the community.

But over the years, the sacred bundles made their way into the hands of museum curators and private collectors around the world, as native bands wrestled with the loss of the bison, modernization and dwindling homegrown interest in cultural traditions.

“Normally, those items are very precious, but with the economic times they were facing, there was starvation, and now it's a different generation that's embracing our culture and trying to make sure it doesn't happen again,” Rick Tailfeathers, a spokesman for the Blood Tribe in Southern Alberta, said.

Thursday night, aboriginal leaders will be joined by Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach, former premier and honorary chief Ralph Klein and others, in Lethbridge, to celebrate a unique legislative effort that has helped return more than 100 scared bundles containing 200 ceremonial objects to bands in the Blackfoot Confederacy.

I accept that the above is only a beginning and not an ending. There is still a great deal of information to restore, both material and spiritual, but the tide seems to be turning. This weekend is the gathering at Maniwaki and I wish I could be there to discuss this positive development.

In relation to this post, it is a substantial step forward to read the thread Racism is for Ignorant Fools.

Knowing that almost 6 months ago I spoke on the topic of racialization in the presence of government officials, the media, a large assortment of writers, artists and most important of all, William Commanda, it is gratifying to know that this website truly denies the ignorance which racism fosters.

The thousands of people who visit here daily will have had the opportunity to reflect on the issue of racialization, what it forces upon people and what its fundamental purpose is.

There will always be those among us who believe that race is a scientific term and belief, once taken to heart, is difficult to change. I read today that someone was proud of their race. They could just as easily have stated that they were proud of their ethnic roots and I honestly would agree that it is right to feel that way.

My own roots are so tangled in different ethnic groups that it might be called a Gorgon Knot of genetics. To find a dominant gene, I would say it would be related to my Dutch heritage, but there is another variable obvious in my darker complexion and that can be traced back to the Canadian prairies and the Cree Nation.

Which am I proudest of? Between my gray/blue eyes sits a hawkish nose. Behind that set of features sits a brain who sees and appreciates the values of both cultures represented in those genetic traits. So, yes, I'm proud of my roots, no matter what their history in the past. Mistakes were made by both, wrongs never fully compensated for by either one. It doesn't pay to tarry too long on the past, though, because walking backwards into the future only causes us to stumble. We need to look to the future and the future of our children and on to their children as well.

We need to put such things as the Caste, Race and Class systems in the dumpster of history and move on. Divisions only divide. There is only right and wrong when it comes to a human being and nothing else really matters. Decide for yourselves which is is which and what needs to change in your own hearts for the betterment of future generations.

The prophecy of the Rainbow Warrior says it best:

There would come a time when the "keepers of the legend, stories, culture rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs" would be needed to restore us to health. They would be mankinds’ key to survival, they were the "Warriors of the Rainbow". There would come a day of awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes would form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the Great Spirit.

The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would spread these messages and teach all peoples of the Earth or "Elohi". They would teach them how to live the "Way of the Great Spirit". They would tell them of how the world today has turned away from the Great Spirit and that is why our Earth is "Sick".

The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would show the peoples that this "Ancient Being" (the Great Spirit), is full of love and understanding, and teach them how to make the "Earth or Elohi" beautiful again. These Warriors would give the people principles or rules to follow to make their path right with the world. These principles would be those of the Ancient Tribes. The Warriors of the Rainbow would teach the people of the ancient practices of Unity, Love and Understanding. They would teach of Harmony among people in all four comers of the Earth.

Like the Ancient Tribes, they would teach the peoples how to pray to the Great Spirit with love that flows like the beautiful mountain stream, and flows along the path to the ocean of life. Once again, they would be able to feel joy in solitude and in councils. They would be free of petty jealousies and love all mankind as their brothers, regardless of color, race or religion. They would feel happiness enter their hearts, and become as one with the entire human race. Their hearts would be pure and radiate warmth, understanding and respect for all mankind, Nature, and the Great Spirit. They would once again fill their minds, hearts, souls, and deeds with the purest of thoughts. They would seek the beauty of the Master of Life - the Great Spirit! They would find strength and beauty in prayer and the solitudes of life.
