Dear Myrna and friends,
Now I have had a little more time to dive here . I do not know much about Native American tradition and really wish to study it seriously. Also, didn`t have much time to learn newer American history (after 1492), but here is something what I wish to comment.
Now I have the hope that the spirit of language would serve me to find right expressions.
In Hindu tradition we have Lord Ganesha, who symbolise THE NEED TO SEEK FOR ANOTHER SOLUTION ... (He accepted an elephant image just to teach us HOW WISE MAY IT BE TO OVERCOME AN OBSTACLE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SOLUTION) .Sometimes we are too stubborn to accomplish things in the way we found as right.
Today all see American native people as the victims of the genocide.
I see people stuck at the tradition, without will to follow the need to change.
I do not wish now to justify the white man ... but just to remind ... about the fight to survive. A many, many settlers, coming to a new world, were killed - also on the bestial way. Each one of them took a huge risk for his/her life.
God has created an Earth.
HE HAS ONLY AND EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP OVER IT.
The spirit of Colombo`s America is the spirit of FREE, CREATIVE MAN who also follows the natural cycles - using an intelligence and expressing readiness to change.
I greatly appreciate that spirit.
All the universe is in the flux.
Nothing is static.
Except the tradition.
Jewish God permitted them to be the masters and to feel chosen, but also to be an Egyptian slaves.
During their long lasting history, the Jews have learned how to bear with the need to change.
No one can justify Hitler.
But the Jews survived. And not only survived. You do not have any field in this world where they are not very important.
I appreciate Americans (even though the rest of the jealous world consider them as not too much smart). I really appreciate them more than I can say.
I wish for the spirit of the Native Americans to resurrect.
Before resurrected, Jesus forgave to his executors.
The resurrection of Native American spirit may be done only by them. The rest of the world, including white American man would support them, I am more than sure in that.
Here is one video, in which I CAN FIND ONLY POINTING THE GUILT OF THE SPANISH AND ALL OTHER SETTLERS.
No one would resurrect CONDEMNING THOSE WHO MADE THEM HARM. But only seeking for own mistakes, and correcting them.
Simply, in my opinion they are not looking for the resurrection, but for blaming white man as much as is possible.
I pray in One God - Creator of all what is, to show the way to Native Americans and to guide them to resurrect. Amen.

(I do not see much love here; only blaming and criticizing).
Hugs,
