POPSAwareness Mankind always strives to become more than he is, some using the Creator to gain influence over others, while others allowing the Creator to guide them for what they seek. As long as some use the Creator for self gain, mankind will never live in harmony as one. Cougar

POPSTested At this time in my life all I can do is write. It is my way of fighting for the equality, truth, Justice and Rights of my Aboriginal Brothers and sisters. It takes alot of research, time and patients with very little return, but with every response I feel a realization of recognition for my words and that maybe, just maybe, I have gotten through to someone.

POPSChanges Nature, only the Great Spirit can control, something we humans would love to be able to control, as we seem to love to control everything around us. The First Peoples of the Americas learned along time ago that Nature is our guide to all things in life, the provider of life, health and nourishment, we need nothing more to live a happy life. The followers of the Red Road, took no more than needed to do this. The Colonists always took more than they needed and gave nothing back. We are only what we believe we are, not what others think of us, but we must always remember in this life we are at the mercy of nature the one thing we cannot control. Cougar

POPSOren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders Grandfather, Grandmother, bring the spirits to teach us. "Male and female is fundamental to life; partners in work to be done." We have lost our way in regards to this truth. Our culture taught us this simple wisdom, the destruction of our cultures has taken this away, we must return to our cultures to regain this knowledge and treat each other with the respect we have lost.

POPSTraditional Circle of Elders, Navajo-Hopi Jount Use Area Before the white man came to Turtle Island the people of the land were all the same and respected each other, but white man believing he was superior never respected any of the people or the land, can you not see where that has lead us, we need to be one with the land again, only then will we survive.

POPSPhil Lane, Sr. Yankton Sioux It only takes a little thing to change our whole perspective on our lives. It will take all of mankind to know this and then, just maybe, mankind might survive. Cougar

POPSJohn (Fire) Lame Deer, Rosebud Lakota "Indians chase the vision, white men chase the dollar." Before the white man arrived there was no money, it wasn't needed the natives looked after one another, the Creator blessed them all with every thing they needed, today money rules the world and look what that as done to man.

POPSOren Lyons, Onondaga "Power is not manifested in the human being. True power is in the Creator" This is something our present day leaders do not understand and this is why the world is in the condition it is today. Cougar

POPSEducation Even though this talks about the Cherokee people, this in fact speaks for all Aboriginal peoples, every where. In Canada the First Nation, Metis & Inuit peoples are not taught the same as in the outside world (white mans world) they are behind and kept that way by the governments who regulate education, they were & are never taught history because the Canadian Governments were and are scared to tell the truth about the Canadian history. This can possibly be said by all the governments around the world who suppress the Indigenous peoples of that country. Cougar

POPSLakota Proverb In many societies today the parents are to busy to teach their children what is good and what is bad. Todays child spends most of their time playing games, talking on cell phone/phone or watching tv, they don't know what it is to talk to each other as a family, to eat their meals together as a family, so how can they learn, the world moves on a different time now as to what it did in my fathers time. Even though I have spoken these words, I believe in my heart that WE can make a difference in our children's lives if we teach them the values we were tought as children, it is never to late, never to late to try.

POPSEllen White, Nanaimo In these times I believe it is most difficult for most people to understand these words, and even more difficult to stand still long enough to know the meaning of them. Cougar

POPSMothers One sees more and more mothers abusing and killing their own children these days and for what? Some for greed, some for freedom, some for another life with someone else, the Courts give to much the idea of post part um depression while forgetting the children that are suffering and suffered from their hands.

POPSChief Pontiac, Odowa Most people don't know this, but because our for-fathers had no alcohol to drink in our culture the Natives of North America were not born with the gene to cope with this danger. Natives of Turtle Island had good pure water to drink, where the Europeans had bad, polluted water thuse drank wine and beers to compliment there liquid needs and through generations acquired this gene. The people of Turtle Island do not have this gene and therefore cannot cope with alcohol. Cougar

POPSOren Lyons, Onondaga In the times before the white man, the peoples of the Turtle Island lived in relative peace with each other, Natives had their own laws and they were followed by all, the teachers were the elders. I know that if this was sill the norm today we would all be living in peace and harmony. Cougar

POPSChief Joseph - Nez Perce This man was wise before his time. If the leaders of the so called free world would only look to the past to see the future, they would understand what has been said. But they are blind to greed, mis-trust and self importance. Cougar
