PIE IN THE SKY \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MNN\u00a0 Dec. 16, 2011.\u00a0 Can civilization based on the violent hierarchical system and the natural world exist side by side?\u00a0 No!<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do Indigenous minds, bodies and society continue to live in reality? \u00a0\u00a0What keeps some humans in slavery?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hierarchical civilization is unhealthy unnatural crowded living, brought here by the invaders.\u00a0 They gobble up resources.\u00a0 People have to decide to either start sharing or stay on the take. \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Capitalist civilization depends on constant violence against people, land, water and wild life.\u00a0\u00a0 Today people have to pay to exist on the earth, or armed men will take them and everything they have away. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Long ago Mohawk artist and writer, Karonhiaktajeh, painted the \u201cSleeping Lion\u201d with an Ongwehonwe face. \u00a0He said we were forced to become invisible to avoid the jaws of the hungry masses. \u00a0One day these visitors will be fighting each other.\u00a0 We would then begin to stir.\u00a0 Resistance does not have to be violent.\u00a0 Just make it inconvenient.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Fascism has taken over the US.\u00a0 Genocide continues through depriving people of water, shelter, food, medical care and poisoning of the environment.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hierarchical ownership is when some individuals have more than they need.\u00a0 Their control system is like a pyramid with a few bosses sitting at the top.\u00a0 Without gluttonous ownership hierarchy wouldn\u2019t exist. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The middle class impose pacifism.\u00a0 The rulers give them power to make decisions on our behalf. Manufacturing, administration and labor have been moved to other countries.\u00a0 Their money is in offshore accounts.\u00a0 Now they are leaving.\u00a0 Those left behind are losing their masters and destroy their civilization from the inside.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The war against man and nature is becoming savage. \u00a0\u00a0Humans are being controlled by technology and artificial global markets. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can we free ourselves from this Frankenstein culture?\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We Indigenous have web-like relationships of inter-connected independent communities, made up of individuals, like an array of invisible knots.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Units are equal. Social, political, economic, education and so on are structured circularly.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indigenous energy is based on the individual surrounded by family, clans, community and nation.\u00a0 Strength comes from home and family, the strongest force in the natural world. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Communication with outsiders is voluntary.\u00a0 Soon each community must provide its own food, energy and heating.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Information is power.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In hierarchy the bosses want all the information.\u00a0 It flows up and down, controlled by bureaucratic paths.\u00a0 Bosses are told what they want to hear.\u00a0 Organization spies report to them.\u00a0 Collecting information is expensive.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Small Indigenous networks keep daily information in the hands of the many, with less distortion. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like the human brain, connections are nurtured with sister communities to process information and pathways.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though Indigenous social, political and economic life are invisible, tribal and band councils\u2019 job is to report us to their colonial overseers. \u00a0Yet they know little about us.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The almost bankrupt US enterprise must mobilize all its resources at great cost to control its people.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fast flowing river has its natural destination.\u00a0 We have to let go of the shore, push off to the middle, keep our eyes open and heads above water.\u00a0 Some will be afraid and try to hold onto the shore.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t look outside for leaders.\u00a0 Be the person you think you are.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The colonists have created great distress.\u00a0 Their people are seeking help.\u00a0 Their suicide phone lines are outsourced to India, where Mohammad listens to their problems.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

They think they can fight nature and live happily ever after.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

An elder advised us, \u201cAll we can do at this time is try to hit the all seeing eye on the pyramid with a cream pie!\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n
