Indigenous Action
Waking Times
This statement reflects the wisdom of the Spiritual People of the
Earth, of North and South America, working in unity to restore peace,
harmony and balance for our collective future and for all living
beings. This statement is written in black and white with a foreign
language that is not our own and does not convey the full depth of
our concerns.
The Creator created the People of the Earth into the Land at the
beginning of Creation and gave us a way of life. This way of life has
been passed down generation-to-generation since the beginning. We
have not honored this way of life through our own actions and we
must live these original instructions in order to restore universal
balance and harmony. We are a part of Creation; thus, if we break
the Laws of Creation, we destroy ourselves.
We, the Original Caretakers of Mother Earth, have no choice but to
follow and uphold the Original Instructions, which sustains the
continuity of Life. We recognize our umbilical connection to Mother
Earth and understand that she is the source of life, not a resource to
be exploited. We speak on behalf of all Creation today, to
communicate an urgent message that man has gone too far, placing
us in the state of survival. We warned that one day you would not be
able to control what you have created. That day is here.
Not heeding warnings from both Nature and the People of the Earth
keeps us on the path of self destruction. This self destructive path
has led to the Fukushima nuclear crisis, Gulf oil spill, tar sands
devastation, pipeline failures, impacts of carbon dioxide emissions
and the destruction of ground water through hydraulic fracking, just
to name a few. In addition, these activities and development continue
to cause the deterioration and destruction of sacred places and
sacred waters that are vital for Life.
Powerful technologies are out of control and are threatening the
future of all life. The Fukushima nuclear crisis alone is a threat to the
future of humanity. Yet, our concern goes far beyond this single
threat. Our concern is with the cumulative and compounding
devastation that is being wrought by the actions of human beings
around the world. It is the combination of resource extraction,
genetically modified organisms, moral failures, pollution, introduction
of invasive species and much much more that are threatening the
future of life on Earth.
The compounding of bad decisions and their corresponding actions
are extremely short-sighted. They do not consider the future
generations and they do not respect or honor the Creator’s Natural
Law. We strongly urge for the governmental authorities to respond
with an open invitation to work and consult with us to solve the
world’s problems, without war. We must stop waging war against
Mother Earth, and ourselves.
We acknowledge that all of these devastating actions originated in
human beings who are living without regard for the Earth as the
source of life. They have strayed from the Original Instructions by
casting aside the Creator’s Natural Law. It is now critical for humanity
to acknowledge that we have created a path to self destruction. We
must restore the Original Instructions in our lives to halt this
devastation.
The sanctity of the Original Instructions has been violated. As a
result, the Spiritual People of the Earth were called ceremonially to
come together at the home of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe
Bundle. These Spiritual Leaders and those that carry great
responsibility for their people from both North and South America
came together with the sacred fire for four days at the end of
September 2013 to fulfill their sacred responsibilities. During this time
it was revealed that the spirit of destruction gained its’ strength by
our spiritually disconnected actions. We are all responsible in varying
degrees for calling forth this spirit of destruction, thus we are all
bound to begin restoring what we have damaged by helping one
another recover our sacred responsibility to the Earth. We, the
Original Caretakers of Mother Earth, offer our spiritual insight,
wisdom and vision to the global community to help guide the actions
needed to overcome the current threats to all life.
We only have to look at our own bodies to recognize the sacred
purpose of water on Mother Earth. We respect and honor our
spiritual relationship with the lifeblood of Mother Earth. One does not
sell or contaminate their mother’s blood. These capitalistic actions
must stop and we must recover our sacred relationship with the Spirit
of Water.
The People of the Earth understand that the Fukushima nuclear
crisis continues to threaten the future of all life. We understand the
full implications of this crisis even with the suppression of information
and the filtering of truth by the corporate owned media and Nation
States. We strongly urge the media, corporations and Nation States
to acknowledge and convey the true facts that threaten us, so that
the international community may work together to resolve this crisis,
based on the foundation of Truth.
We urge the international community, government of Japan and
TEPCO to unify efforts to stabilize and re-mediate the nuclear threat
posed at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. To ensure that
the Japanese government and TEPCO are supported with qualified
personnel and information, we urge the inclusion of today’s nuclear
experts from around the world to collaborate, advise and provide
technical assistance to prevent further radioactive contamination or
worse, a nuclear explosion that may have
apocalyptic consequences.
The foundation for peace will be strengthened by restoring the
Original Instructions in ourselves.
Prophecies have been shared and sacred instructions were given.
We, the People of the Earth, were instructed that the original wisdom
must be shared again when imbalance and disharmony are upon
Mother Earth. In 1994 the sacred white buffalo, the giver of the
sacred pipe, returned to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people
bringing forth the sacred message that the winds of change are here.
Since that time many more messengers in the form of white animals
have come, telling us to wake up my children. It is time. So listen for
the sacred instruction.
All Life is sacred. We come into Life as sacred beings. When we
abuse the sacredness of Life we affect all Creation. We urge all
Nations and human beings around the world to work with us, the
Original Caretakers of Mother Earth, to restore the Original
Instructions and uphold the Creator’s Natural Law as a foundation for
all decision making, from this point forward.
Our collective future as human beings is in our hands, we must
address the Fukushima nuclear crisis and all actions that may violate
the Creator’s Natural Law. We have reached the crossroads of life
and the end of our existence. We will avert this potentially
catastrophic nuclear disaster by coming together with good minds
and prayer as a global
community of all faiths.
We are the People of the Earth united under the Creator’s Law with a
sacred covenant to protect and a responsibility to extend Life for all
future generations. We are expressing deep concern for our shared
future and urge everyone to awaken spiritually. We must work in
unity to help Mother Earth heal so that she can bring back balance
and harmony for all her children.
