Thanks so much. Im glad all of you have posted this. Is is so dear to us with Native American Heritage. It is something we've known all along...but it gets so tiring to have to explain and defend to those who do not know, and who wont believe.
You've expressed much on all our behaves. Thanks.
ATS'ers? Please educate yourselves to the Native American (North, South, and Central Americas) traditions. It will help you in understanding from whence we all came, and just how long these traditions have been held in such high regard.

Funny you should mention know enough to be able to survive. I just got back from Florida.....a base near COCOA Beach. In my spare time...I was body surfing in warm ocean water and enjoying the 88 degree F. temps. Got a nice tan also.......
I fly back to New England.....I live in Western Mass....and ALL HELL BREAKES LOOSE! We get a Nor'Easter SNOWSTORM that dumps HEAVY SNOW....in some areas 12 to 18 inches deep....but the leaves were still on the trees and GIANT OAKS AND MAPLES AND BEECH TREES are not structured to hold this type of weight as the heavy wet snow adhered to the leaves and branches as well as bending cable and power lines and SNAP....CRACKLE....POP......$#!%!......NO POWER.
Most peoples furnaces have electronic egnition systems so they won't work....no TV....most people up here had switched to CABLE TV/telephone/Internet.....so no power for the modem....no phone, TV or Internet.
We had no electricity...except certain people like me....for 7 to 14 days. I have several interconnected generators that light up the house...but one of the damn things went on me. I had heat and food....and since my Family ownes several companies that I help run....I made sure not to be a BASTARD and force them to come in the next day as some companies did....we have piloted Gas Hot Water heaters so....we were able to shower daily....I purposely stoped the sales pitch of...this Gas Water Heater has electronic ignition when it needs to raise the tank temp....with a pilot...you always have HOT WATER!
After about 5 days....people statrted FREEKING OUT....they thought the power would be back on in one or two days....I KNEW FROM THE AMOUNT OF DOWN TREEES AND LIMBS.....that this was going to take a while. In a MICROCOSM.....this small disaster...although for some...they acted like it was the end of days....I saw how SOFT PEOPLE HAVE BECOME.....and if there was ever a REAL DISASTER.....say MAGNETIC POLAR SHIFT....or SUPER VOLCANIC ERUPTION....or even an Asteroid strike of a small radius....say an are the size of Delaware.....the country would have to be placed under MARTIAL LAW!
It made me sad to see how unprepared for even the slightest of inconviniences we are....THIS IS WHY....I believe that every 16 and 17 year old.....during the month of July 6th through Aug. 6th....should be sent to a MANDATORY SURVIVAL....LEADERSHIP....FIRST RESPONDER AID....TRIAGE NECESSITY MEDICAL....PARAMILITARY STYLE LEADERSHIP CONSTRUCTED PROGRAM.
I PROMISE....if this was done....one month for two years.....this country THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.....would gain the fortitude in these future generations to keep our house....ie...country in order....from EVERY STANDPOINT.....helping the week, injured and tired.....to having the discipline to balance our budget....cut waste....use Military Force ONLY when absolutely needed.....and creating kids that turn into MEN AND WOMEN of charachter and SUPREME CONFIDENCE.....ready to tackle ANYTHING OR ANY PROBLEM THAT COMES THEIR WAY.
I KNOW THIS WOULD WORK....FOR I HAVE SEEN IT WORK....ONLY ON A SMALLER LEVEL.
And a person will carry this with them till the day they die....and it will be an HONORABLE DEATH.
