Strange how our life's seeming challenges turn out to be the best. This morning when I woke up and begin to prepare for my presentation at the United Nations, I could not find my US or Canadian passport. I became worried about how I was going to get through UN Security.
Thankfully, I had my Ihanktonwan Nation Passport with me. I usually do not carry it with me but since I was just home with my Tanksi Faith, Tonska's Kip, Akicita Hoksida, and other beloved relatives, I had it with me.
The Ihanktonwan Nation has great meals at Fort Randall for our Ihanktowan Nation Elders. Whenever I am home, I greatly enjoy these meals, especially my Tokoja's, the Sully Family, and others who have so much love and care for Ihanktonwan Elders and other relatives. So through their always great love and kindness and great Elder meals, I had my Ihanktowan Nation passport with me!
I prayed very hard this morning. It became clear to me that as a member of the Ihanktonwan Nation, I had every right to enter the United Nations as a member of the Ihanktonwan Nation. The UN Security agreed with me, so I was happy to enter the United Nations as a Sovereign member of the Ihanktonwan Nation.
It is the time that the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island, the Americas and beyond, manifest our Unique and Sacred Sovereignty and share the wisdom of our Elders and spiritual teachings. Until this happens our beloved Human Family will continue to go deeper and deeper into conflict, destruction, and suffering!
