Just how positive can you get?

Flying to Florida last week I watched a television documentary “Black Indians: an American Story”.
I was so impressed with the words of the people who appeared in this excellent story of this population of Indigenous peoples, of living in two, even three worlds – Onkwe:honwe and African-American living within the white-controlled society that is the United States.
And the passion in their words, as they spoke their hearts of who they are as human beings, walking their life journey through so many deep emotional and intellectual challenges, had me thinking of who I am, and who we are, especially at this time of these 2010 evictions and the opportunity it gives each of us to look within ourselves at who we are – individually and as a people – and connect back with our ways as Kanien’kehá:ka.
I’m sitting here watching these beautiful opening ceremonies of the Olympics – being so proud watching our relatives dance and sing before the people of the world in a good way, all with good intent; and a bit in awe of the athletes as they walk into the arena, proud of who they are and what they are accomplishing; and thinking of their parents and friends and countrymen and countrywomen and the pride they have for them ...and I think to myself, it’s a wonderful world...”
As I look within, I know I need to soul search, and we all need to look to our souls and find the peace and love that makes us unique, makes us special, makes us proud to be the link between our ancestors and our descendants and what is most important.

For me, it’s being connected with the light and love that is the universe and who we are; when we connect, individually and collectively, we’ll find the answer that everyone can find acceptable; until then, “we’ll muddle through somehow”. Skennen’ko:wa.
