It Is Time For Native People To Resolve Our Own Issues And Problems-By Mike Raccoon Eyes

" IT IS TIME THAT WE LEARN AS NATIVE PEOPLE THAT ONLY WE CAN RESOLVE OUR ISSUES & PROBLEMS!" By Mike Raccoon Eyes Kinney

As a Native Advocate for more Human & Civil Rights for well over 4 decades now. I have learned that the less we as Native People depend on and look to mainstream America & Canada as while as their Governments the better off we shall be. With over 120 million of Our People slaughtered and victims of mass extermination, I simply have NO faith or belief in these Governments or their mainstream people.

As a Native Man, I want to state here, I REPRESENT NO ONE, NOBODY OR ANYTHING with regards to Indian Country. I speak ONLY for myself as individual and as an experienced Native Advocate. The heart of the matter is WHITE MAINSTREAM SOCIETY DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT US AS NATIVE PEOPLE, NEVER ,HAS NEVER WILL!
The sooner we accept this fact, then we are better prepared to move forth as the GREATER INDIAN NATION! The first question we must ask ourselves: IS WHAT IS INDIAN COUNTRY PREPARED TO DO IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

After 550 years here in the U.S. has Indian Country learned nothing? It is called the 'T' word.....TERMINATION. The United States Government still continues their 'New Indian Wars' against us on many levels. Harper's administration in Canada is openly & bluntly waging war against First Nations there, war crimes against humanity. It is time for Native People
to accept the fact that as stated; THEY DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT US!

Among Our People, we have a long history of HANG AROUND THE FORT INDIANS, UNCLE & AUNTIE TOMMYHAWKS, APPLES & SELL-OUTS! As an example so-called worthless, tainted & corrupt, colonial Tribal Councils from the 1920s to the present under the federal BIA to insure that Native People of the US while continue to be victims of both political repression & oppression. These colonial tribal councils are nothing more than tools & weapons to continue the death & destruction of modern day Indian Country. We must remove and get rid of these artificial, phony, colonial, tribal jurisdiction's that continue to serve the interests of their white masters and leave us out in the cold.

The next group that Indian Country needs to wash it's hands of once and for all is the SELF-APPOINTED, SELF-ANNOINTED INDIVIDUALS THAT CLAIM THEY SPEAK FOR ALL OF INDIAN COUNTRY AND ARE THE FINAL WORD & AUTHORITY ON ALL MATTERS OF INDIAN COUNTRY. These individuals usual have little or no support from traditional Indian Country in the US or First Nations in Canada. While they claim one thing, they have their own agendas for their own political power, large financial support from so-called white mainstream progressives in both the US and Canada. A great deal of the time, they come from large Urban cities and in many cases a total disconnect from the reservation or reserve. And yet these so-called 'Leaders' claim they speak for Our Native People.

The White mainstream progressives who become involved with Native People or our causes usually have latent colonial fantasies about Indian Country that are at times could be viewed as racist towards the greater Native Movement. They select & groom, along with 'educating with political orientation & propaganda' a Native individual into their own cause. They will then take the limelight at large gatherings, or be seen in local or national newsprint and media to bring their so-called 'Native perspective' to the white mainstream and get miles of political propaganda of the their master's movement. And hence, they will become the so-called Self-appointed, self-anointed 'spokesperson & leader' they claim speaks for all of us in Indian Country. Then these individuals and their white progressive masters in turn try to infiltrate and take over our Native Movements! As I and other traditional People will tell you it, it leads us into nothing but trouble and divides our Movement work!

I share this with you because it has been deep in my heart to do as such, nor am I asking anyone whom reads this to agree or disagree with my point of view. But I think back in December 2012, when of the Great Awakening of the First Nations all came to together in solidarity and the IDLE-NO-MORE was born! The First Nations of Canada rocked the 3 Americas and the indigenous Caribbean into a unified international Indigenous Movement. And guess what we as Native People did it ALL on our own! We did not ask for OR want the help of white mainstream society!
WE DID ALL OF THAT ON OUR OWN AS IT SHOULD BE! It is now time for Indian Country to resolve our own issues and problems, once and for ALL! We must learn to learn to love each other and ourselves to get the job done and nothing our Creator will lead us to where we must go!

In the Spirit of Unity Among Our People,
Mike Raccoon Eyes, Native Advocate
