In our language there is no word to say inferior or superiority or equality because we are equal; it's a known fact. But life has become very complicated since the newcomers came here. And how does your spirit react to it? It's painful. You have to be strong to walk through the storm. I know I'm a bridge between two worlds. All I ask is for people to wash their feet before they try to walk on me.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone considered it a "known fact" that we all are equal?
Thanks for that excellent post and meditation. I am First Peoples, Cowichan (Canada), and those words perfectly express the traditions handed down by our Elders and taught to us from youth.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the words.
