Open Letter to the Indigenous People of the Western Hemisphere


We have a dangerous Serpent on our land.


We are at a crucial time in the history of the continent. Only one other time has been so significant in our history. We are being physically, mentally, and spiritually attacked by an American in the White House. The evidence is apparent for all to witness.


There has always been a guiding light and a clear direction for us in our language, spirit, and culture. That light is being diminished hourly. We have had our American Hiroshima, and we have had to endure the results as second-class citizens.


But now we must assert our sovereignty. We are the elders and the pedagogues the world is looking to for answers. This is our time to teach, gather, and claim our natural voice to defend the earth and one another.


Western governance systems are crashing all around us. There is a national void in mental clarity and pure humanity. Those who support life and freedom are being marginalized. We must help them lest they falter and fall. 


For these reasons, and more, I am calling all Chiefs, Elders, Grandfathers, and Grandmothers of all Indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere to convene an International Court in Washington, D.C. 


As protectors of the Living Earth, Air, and Water, we have an inherent responsibility that does not recognize colonial boundaries to gather and assert our power and rights as this continent's original inhabitants.


This gathering is intended to provide a space for Indigenous testimony from representatives of tribal nations across this land regarding the increasing threat to traditional lifeways.


This must be done in full view of the world.


We shall walk with the Great Mystery in a peaceful and nonviolent manner. Our spirit guides us in our deliberations to save the planet. 



In Great Appreciation,

Ronald P. Leith, Red Lake Ojibwe/Mdewakanton Dakota

Donald Trump is the antithesis of a President of the United States.  He is anti-everything that doesn’t concern him. Totally narcissistic behavior. This mode of childish behavior has left many people puzzled as to how to deal with him. But as parents, we should all know how to deal with a petulant child. They need discipline, which, in Trump’s case, is the one attribute he does not possess. He has no boundaries as a result of being born into a spoiling environment and being coddled his entire life, never being in want of anything. This leads to very inappropriate psychological development. But as an adult, this behavior can be dangerous. The other attribute that has created a complete Monster-in-Charge is the fact that he expects complete loyalty from anyone within his circle of influence. And as POTUS, his circle of subservience has become extraordinarily large, encompassing every major institution operating in the country, including the military, the medical, social, and financia...

Our Great Struggle

  We are in a new era in the Western Hemisphere. An era brought on by the culmination of pro-Eurocentric maxims, which have carried generations of believers in a cauldron called Manifest Destiny. This system has been a stanchion of destruction for Indigenous people for over 500 years. The barbaric Eurocentric belief that the North American continent was a "New World" to be subjugated and taken by force in the name of freedom and independence. The primarily Aryan or European-born race has had the opportunity to explore, claim, and own the North American continent since 1492. For 533 years, the Europeans have gained through genocide, biological warfare, corruption, and governmental malfeasance all of the territory once held by 500 or more Indigenous Nations. But during this time, the Indigenous spirit has not died. It has survived and is now flourishing in a resurgence of culture, language, and spiritual rebirth. But the invisible class system perpetuated by a colonialist ideal...
