Real Talk!

I'm beginning to think that the world is coming to the point that, if we stop and listen very carefully.... we just might hear the message that we sent to ourselves, a millenium ago.

oh, how the earth drums rumbled yesterday... calling to us all the way from Buckingham, Quebec....

Buckingham is part of the provincial riding of Papineau (as it is located near the Papineau region and the federal riding of Pontiac.

Throughout its history, the city of Buckingham's economy has been dominated by the MacLaren dynasty.

Claude Lemieux was born in 1965 in Buckingham, Quebec...

Is it true that in Quebec, Metis are not recognized?

Today, I found this website:

There is an online petition... in part, it says....

"On August 18th and 19th, beginning at 9:30am, we are asking for 1,000,000 people to meet with us at the Lincoln Memorial / Reflecting Pool Area in Washington DC as we bring to the attention of the United States the plight of all Mixed Bloods and Cherokee Freedmen who have been denied their rights as a Cherokee People by the discrimination perpetuated by the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma who are denying our very existence. They deny us the right to even say that we are Cherokee, they deny us the right to sell our crafts as Cherokee Made and we are denied our Freedom of Religion to worship our Creator as we deem necessary to our spirituality. Throughout this date we will have speakers, Native American dancers, drumming and flute playing as we seek an audience with the President of these United States of America. This event will start with the blessing of the grounds promptly at 9:30am. Because of the increasing support we will now be meeting for two (2) days for this event, There will be Native American guest speakers and Native American performers.
We are asking each and everyone who will join with us on this August 18th at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, to sign this showing your intention to be there to take a stand for not only your rights, but the rights of your children and grandchildren that will follow you. Surely the ancestors will smile on this day as we take back our rights as Cherokee."

Sometimes, I imagine a powerful nation rising in North America... maybe that's what it was... that sounded like drums... during the earthquake that rocked us... yesterday.
