    My family fought for treaties out here in Nevada in the early 70’s.. then AIM came & did the Longest Walk..
    All in all, I will always stick up for John. I am a sanctioned member of AIM today & we are fighting the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine in our ancestral homelands!
    The work continues today with respect for our Uncles and families who’ve been putting in work for decades.

He is indeed the finest human being I've ever been lucky enough to encounter. and e has been a most eloquent teacher for all of humanity, not just us Indians. I belong to the American Indian Movement, not the Native American Movement. I am proud to be an Indian. Everyone born in this country is a native American but not everyone is lucky enough to be an Indian.

      I wanted you to read my comment
      this is a wise man right here. I should know, I religously listened to KLOS impact program featuring Frank Sontag Monday mornings from midnight to --- cant remember but perhaps 4-5 am? Anyway, Frank Sontag who was a major seeker of truth that was a universal type and not catholic dogma (which he grew up with and hated) which he said was forced down his throat. Got major sexual vibes from the comment but whatever. Anyway, he had John Trudell on and I even taped the convo on some maxwell audio tapes and must have them somewhere strewn about. John always seemed like a very focused and extremely tragic figure on account of losing his three children and wife. I mean this would kill anybody, this is one of the most greek tradgedy like things I've heard of in my entire life and it would make anyone go crazy. I remember him mentioning to frank sontag that the experienced made him go crazy for a while and how thrilling and chilling it was to hear that. Truly a badass mofo, john trudell is a real hunter gatherer like me. TBH I picked up my hunting and gathering creed and worldview after anthropology class un pasadena city college circa '96 after I read about the !kung tribe and also reading the book nisa. I decided while all this tech is cool and whatever nothing will beat looking your people in the eye or butt....and just living in a very high trust society where all is family and amongst that you have all the food you need to live. Also one works 4-5 hrs per day. I mean yeah I always loved hunting and gathering idea of human assemblage ever since that cultural anthropology class from way back when.
      Anyway, humans are going to keep drunkenly stumbling forward, we may nuke ourselves or not (we prepared for it by playing the stalker PC games) and ultimately all will be revealed or not when we die.
      My bro from way back when I was in 3rd grade showed me this movie at his house after school and ever since then I had a real soft spot for american indians ("the people" as john would have wanted me to utter it) and a majestic movie featuring south american indians called the emerald forest. All you tards that are not cool GENX like me need to be told of this movie and then watch it. It's great, a white boy gets lost among the Yanomami (or similar tribe) and enjoys that sweet juicy latina booty until the end of days because jaguars in the forest does seem like a superior lifestyle. Love you my homo sapiens, take care.
      ps - I know this was a very meandering message but I really love and respect this boy here Trudell and wanted to write some mad scribblings for his soul. I wanted to edit that I spoke to his road manager while a 15 year old boy in Stanton CA trying to order his tribal voice tapes. His road manager was so cool he mailed me all the stuff for free and said I could pay him later, on the honor system. I love John Trudell, his music (which I listend to tons like i listen to pink floyd or dead can dance) and he reverberates and affects us still.

    I met John in Telluride in about 1997. He came to give a talk at an event for first nations teachings from many traditions. I met him smoking a joint by the duck pond along the river trail. I didn't know who he was at the time. when we finished the smoke he asked how to find the Opera House because he had to be there in about an hour. I said something like "oh! you going for the teaching prestation then! Me too!" "Yeah" was all he said.... I flipped out when he walked onstage and when he spoke it blew my mind...

      It shouldn't hurt, just learn from it. I guess thats what he means in his words about us feeling vicitmized and powerless, we are powerful as a nation of people for starters, the point is getting there. And it is crazy to see how everything happened and he knew all along just as some of us knew deep down within ourselves that sone shit was going to happen to civilization. Even bill Bill Gates predicted microbes being the next adversity. We just need to use own intelligence. I get what he's saying and for right now we do feel powerless because most of us are to caught up with our lives and bills and work. But history did show that everytime we have leaders step in they are always assassinated. Only way to fix a system is to be in it. So educate your children and have them go further then we did in our lives.

      The trick is to go against everything the evil empire is all about, not all indigenous cultures devalue themselves, in fact quite the opposite, some have managed to survive in spite of it (extremely hard as it is) nevertheless still have & so Never devalue ourselves, we need to value our own identity, nurture it & thrive inspite of the evil. The Western system is very evil yes we know, it was prophesied to fall & it is falling regardless of everything, indigenous cultures will remain in the end & that’s a beautiful thing. Never get sucked in to the manipulative vortex of this evil system, there’s nothing in it but destruction & death, the Indigenous way of life is about life & thriving in our world, in our universe, which we all will. Western rubbish is out, it can’t sustain itself anywhere, it’s parasitic in nature, there’s no life energy there. It sucks off of every living entity such as our planet, our universe, our indigenous peoples & other peoples for its survival, eventually it will kill itself anyway and that’s a good thing to know it will die. Every other culture will survive all this evil in the end & thrive again xxx it’s already written in the stars

John always seemed like a very focused and extremely tragic figure on account of losing his three children and wife. I mean this would kill anybody, this is one of the most greek tradgedy like things I've heard of in my entire life and it would make anyone go crazy. I remember him mentioning to frank sontag that the experienced made him go crazy for a while and how thrilling and chilling it was to hear that. Truly a badass mofo, john trudell is a real hunter gatherer like me. TBH I picked up my hunting and gathering creed and worldview after anthropology class un pasadena city college circa '96 after I read about the !kung tribe and also reading the book nisa. I decided while all this tech is cool and whatever nothing will beat looking your people in the eye or butt....and just living in a very high trust society where all is family and amongst that you have all the food you need to live. Also one works 4-5 hrs per day. I mean yeah I always loved hunting and gathering idea of human assemblage ever since that cultural anthropology class from way back when.
      Anyway, humans are going to keep drunkenly stumbling forward, we may nuke ourselves or not (we prepared for it by playing the stalker PC games) and ultimately all will be revealed or not when we die.
      My bro from way back when I was in 3rd grade showed me this movie at his house after school and ever since then I had a real soft spot for american indians ("the people" as john would have wanted me to utter it) and a majestic movie featuring south american indians called the emerald forest. All you tards that are not cool GENX like me need to be told of this movie and then watch it. It's great, a white boy gets lost among the Yanomami (or similar tribe) and enjoys that sweet juicy latina booty until the end of days because jaguars in the forest does seem like a superior lifestyle. Love you my homo sapiens, take care.
      ps - I know this was a very meandering message but I really love and respect this boy here Trudell and wanted to write some mad scribblings for his soul. I wanted to edit that I spoke to his road manager while a 15 year old boy in Stanton CA trying to order his tribal voice tapes. His road manager was so cool he mailed me all the stuff for free and said I could pay him later, on the honor system. I love John Trudell, his music (which I listend to tons like i listen to pink floyd or dead can dance) and he reverberates and affects us still.

    What honesty! What truth! I belive everything that you said comes from the great spirit.
    I was 6 years old once. Surprisingly enough at that age I decided to figure out what Human was up to. The adult's were always arguing about nothing. The news on TV always promises more on the story later but later never gets here. At that age I decided I was going to figure out what they were up to. After 52 years of trying I gave up!
    Then it happened. I had a epiphany.
    All of a sudden I was getting answers to questions I never knew existed. "How in the Universe could this happen?
    I think now I belive understand. Im Scottish, not Indigenous. I have never been through the spiritual training of the Indigenous Americans, but some how at that time I stopped thinking with my human brain, and my spirit took over. Our spirits are directly connected to the Universe. Thats why when we miss speak it questions us as to how we could say such a thing. When we begin using our spirit to reason with that is the point where we become intelligent. Most Europeans never experience this.
    What Im saying is this. If you really want to understand this existance correctly . Then you need to ask the Indigenous people for training. We all need to learn what the Indigenous peoples have known forever.

    His message is being witnessed and people are coming from far and wide to witness these trolls.
    They are here to help us tiny humans. It's a fun way with a lesson.
    I'm amazed by the gentle way of bringing people together and I witnessed something that makes me very hopeful for all our futures.

    "Erases the memory from the human being about being a human being." He's right on...talking about what some of us are just now waking up to. We are so much more powerful than we believe...that's exactly what "they" don't want us to wake up to!
    It's time to become sovereign with regards to our intuition, our beliefs, our intelligence, our observations, and our God given common sense. It's time to stop being small and insignificant, giving our power away so others feel better and bigger. It's time to wake up to the fact that we do have a voice, there is truth in your words and it needs to be spoken and heard. OMG he knows absolutely what's going on. Please step up to what you know is for the good of all peoples. Our playing small no longer serves any purpose. Hold the light so others will see. Be the light that brings peace, unconditional love, and most of all...compassion in action. Thank you John...I thank you.

    Thank you for sharing this. The elders are so important in finding direction. It's not a matter of politics, it's not a matter of whether or not when you agree or disagree, it's just a matter of listening and understanding how their wisdom relates to where we are that we can find direction.
    Thank you again, so much, for sharing this. I am preparing to start vlogging regularly on my channel and I intend on bringing native voices out of the obscure corner that we have been pushed into: not just Native American voices, but the voices of our ancient Native European elders, my momma's side, whose wisdom still resonates True to this day, and is pushed into obscurity.
    We get caught up so much in history, and forget the wisdom of our elders; all too often focusing on criticizing them for their imperfections rather than honoring the best part of themselves which they work so hard to pass on to us, their prosperity. Recently this criticism has been hyped up regarding the foundations of the United States, but I look and listen oh, and I see a beautiful collaboration of modern Western natural law philosophy and Native American natural law philosophy, which brought this country into being and has misunderstood because the core, the center, has been ignored.
    Like the various native peoples of the respective continents, the truth about the founding of this country has been pushed Into Obscurity where is the spirit is concerned. Because of this we have ignored the the Divine natural law and continue to be sucked into the okie doke as the Elite continue to hijack everything we set out to do. I have watched good ideas get hijacked through politicization time and time again throughout my 57 years.
    Our lives are not about ourselves our lives are about our relationship with existence.

    This man is a genius. I agree with what he’s saying about how we need rituals of gratitude, but I also disagree that there may be a creator. Instead I see a chaotic void. The ancients were forced to see this and monotheistic worldviews that prohibited any worship of other aspects of reality were rare until the outsiders influence entered. But the original truth was that something within us is driven to personify the chaos of nature, like seeing our reflection in the deep waters of the past. But worshiping your own reflection is not seeing yourself completely, in fact it can be maddening. So the ancients related to the elements, looking past the reflection on the surface and seeing the bottom of the pond.
