Stand Up / Stand N Rock #NoDAPL (Official Video)

I just reposted the remake of the Black Eyed Peas, "Where is the Love," world version. Indigenous Peoples Day recently passed in October, the 12th, which some call Columbus Day. I have posted many writings and videos to reflect my sentiments on the subject and the subject of Indigenous Peoples Day. I am Choctaw and the feel the flow of Indigenous blood in my veins, like a river that flows so strongly, and forever reminding me of my warrior spirit, and the spirits of my ancestors before me. 

The stories, the teachings, the wisdom, and the struggle, are all imprinted upon my DNA, and this is why I fight the fight. I continue the struggle that my ancestors did over 500 years ago. When I speak, it is not only my voice, that speaks. No, oh no dear reader, you are also hearing, the voices of many that have come before me, and have far greater wisdom than I. I am simply their echo, their speaker, their instrument of truth. 

The Standing Rock incident, still continues today. The only most recent article I could find about Standing Rock today, is dated in 2018, last year. But the story began before the 2016 Standing Rock incident and still continues to this day. 

I feel in these veins of mine, that this blood is strong and, as strong as all those who gathered, and who fought the fight at Standing Rock. I feel as if all are inside, of me, and although, I am alone in my fight here, I am not alone. For I have my fellow indigenous brothers and sisters inside of me, I have my ancestors inside of me, I have the wind, the sky, the earth, the moon, and the stars. I have Grandfather Sun, all within me. 

And, we together, my friends, shall spread the truth of truth and the love and love that we have and that it shall return once again to our Blessed Mother Earth.

Chi pisa lachike,
