"Once right behind that bush I posed by we found a neighbor stalker, his bottle, and thin flash light and boy my man got him all broken up and then he went to jail! He was supposed to be a christian a friend brang to meet me and he was being helpful...one day i was arguing with my hubby and this man stalker came rushing in to ...I guess fight my hubby and later said...oh hears your tape...and I just went with it but really had no clue what was really brewing up. I guess he was a college student too and his girlfriend told me he had my pics in his dorm. I told her to tear them down...Later that man tried harming homeless people with a knife and he got stabbed don't know whatever happened and I had moved and live in private thank goodness..."

forgiveness:TRUTH to POWER, a teaching

Native spiritual leader Felicita Two Feathers giving prayers

The one and only time I sat with Rainbow Eagle was in the mountains of Virginia. About a mile outside of West Virginia he held a teaching circle for a week. Of the many things he said at Wolf Run these words stand out, "Speak with Integrity say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself, or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. You will have as much power as you speak the truth." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

FORGIVENESS, NDN country & the soul

Junal Gerlach

Everything is negotiable.
Everythin is forgiveable.

The story of abuse, and the darkness behind the image of deep Native spirituality, and cultural superiority toted by many people needs to be told. White America needs to hold on to an image of the Indian that tells precious little about the consequences of conquest, rape, religious intolerance, and cultural contempt that spoiled the land, and relations between the red and white people. Junal Gerlach has a story.
