Dear Chief, I have a six week old granddaughter with noble Navajo heritage. You have helped me (an LDS woman raised in Salt Lake City with almost no understanding of Native history) to understand just how sacred and special our new baby is and to love my son-in-law and his family even more. My heart aches for your struggles. I hope you can remember that if you are doing God's work it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of you. Thank you for the good you have already done. ❤
My dear Brother, there are more of us that are for you than that are against you. What this nation has done greaves me. I thought that the Indian were treated bad but I had no Idea on how bad it was. The time of the Gentiles is coming to an end. God has promised this land to your people and they need good leaders. I do my best to be on Gods side, I believe that God is on your side. Do what you think is best, but I believe you are needed. and Amen to the other comments. I have been awakened to our awful situation for over 5 years, I have learned that most people want to be asleep and get upset if you try to wake them up. You are waking them up and some don't like it but we all need to wake up. I would love to talk with you but I know that you are a very bussie man, May God bless and keep you safe.
Chief, remember Jesus asked His father to take his burden from him in possible. Don't give up! You are fighting the good fight, persevere to the end of whatever. Keep humble. Your righteous indignation has been justified. This is from a 77 year old white, LDS member. I don't think there is a crucifixion in your future, but it may be hard. Doing your best with honor is to keep going forward.
Dearest Chief Midegah, I cried in gratitude the first time I heard you speak and that the tribes of Israel were coming forward. And now I feel to cry again that you have come under such pressure by those who should be loving you the most that it would be too heavy to bear. I see the pain in your eyes and want you to know that I support you and I know that there are many others who support you as well. I sent you an email a few days ago expressing my appreciation for what you are doing. You may not have seen it among everything else that may have come to you. I just want you to know that you are needed in the world right now. I think of Moroni who wandered alone for years to protect the plates and avoid being killed. You too are being attacked on all sides but there are many supporting and praying for you as well. Among all those who are fighting against Zion, there are so many who are fighting for Zion, please stay with us in the fight.
Thank you for your heartfelt message. Because of you, we are studying and researching to get our school an accurate history curriculum, which has been hard, and to include your teachings, starting with the 7 Teachings of the Grandfather and learning our ancestors 7 generations behind us so that they can be a bridge to the 7 generations in front of them. These are sound teachings and will be well worth the investment into our children. Above all, we will be teaching "Remember who you are." These are small steps, I know, but they are steps moving in the right direction so that "when the student is ready, the master will come", can be a part of our building up God's kingdom in the earth. And as you said to us mothers, remind the children the first sound they heard was their mother's heartbeat. Our children are indeed our greatest work of art. God speed and God bless.
As a member of the LDS Church I see that you are so needed!!! I dream of the day that we embrace the things that our brothers and sisters that have additional knowledge from our Heavenly Father.
Chief Midegah, thank you for all you have done and are doing and will do in the future to gather Israel!!! You are loved and appreciated! You are in my prayers. Be blessed 🌿
Thank you for your courage, faith, determination and flaws. I love your message and that you have honored us with your conviction and faithfulness. You are making a difference greater than you know.
Love you Chief. I hope you know that you are loved and accepted and appreciated in the church. You are my brother and I appreciate all you do to further the Lord’s work on earth.
I totally support your work for the Lord. When I saw you on UA-cam I felt that familiar spirit the Lord gives us when something is true. When I told another about it in the temple, I got those spiritual goosebumps I get when I share something true. I am a great grandmother. I pray for you young man. You are so precious and loved!
Chief Midigah, you are loved and respected, and might I say, “in great company”! There is not a good thing in this world if not worth fighting for. All the good men in this world have had time in the liberty jail. You will rally my dearest friend!! You will complete your destiny! Perhaps with more sorrow than you have expected but also with more joy than you will ever expect! I love and send prayers out to you. I’ll be in the Temple tomorrow and will be sure to add ur name to the prayer roll..
David, the Lord has given you a voice. Your poetry is deep and expresses so much from the heart, much like David is old. I'm impressed to share a few verses from two of the Psalms: Psalm 39, selected verses - "I said I will keep watch over my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep watch over my mouth. . . while the wicked are in my presence; my pain was stirred up. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: Lord, let me know my end, and what is the extent of my days. . . And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You. Psalm 40: I waited patiently for the Lord; and He reached down to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud; And He set my feet on a rock, making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord. How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust. . . Psalm 40:
Thank you for all you have done for your people and to educate the rest of us about their plight and sufferings. May God bless all the Native people of this land to come together and secure their God-given rights.
Because of you, I feel so close to my ancestors. I need to strengthen my ties with them no matter who they are . When you would speak I could feel a witness from the Holy Spirit speak to me of the truth when it was spoken. I felt like you taught me how important it is to help others in the community. You give me excitement for the return Jesus Christ. I have a greater love for the Book of Mormon. I see how hard it is to live in these last of the last days . And more all because of you . I feel like I saw through the anger and saw what God see. I hope my prayers help lighten your burdens Remember you are loved.
Thank you Chief Midegah for all you have done and are doing to increase our appreciation and knowledge of your noble heritage. I am a 71 year old grandma here in Alberta Canada. Your struggles have humbled and taught me so much. Even though I am of white European descent, I feel drawn to your history and want to learn more. Because of you, I am learning and teaching my grandchildren to appreciate your rich heritage. I will be following you on youtube. God bless.❤
Son, brother, Chief - Please remember that there is opposition in all things. A rock as it tumbles down the riverbed, polishes and perfects it. Resistance builds muscle. Your trials will strengthen your leadership qualities. I felt inspired to stop my project i was working on to tell you this. With❤
Dear chief Midegah, I am so grateful for the work you are doing. I am originally from Brazil, and recently, I found out through family history that I have native south-american blood, and my distant native ancestors were descendents of a chief who converted to Christianity and had dreams of his descendents with the portuguese being the future of the land. He helped the portuguese settlers to succeed in the land. The South-American Indians were mistreated also, but I am proud to have found out about this piece of family history and proud to still have 6% Native American DNA. I am also a member of the Chur h of Jesus, and I see your efforts as fulfillment of Book of Mormon prophecy. I pray that the Lord will give you strength to do what He requires of you! I love you, brother!
Chief Midegah, I feel great kinship with you as a fellow traveler. As you speak, there is a great feeling of love. Our God is a God of passions. He feels very passionately for His family and I see you as a great example of one who has connected with his family and understands that we are all part of your family. God bless you in your journey and your mission to represent your Tribe and family. Thank you for being open and blessing us with your sacred teachings. You are a great example of how I want to fulfill my role as a father to my sons and daughters. I see you, and because I see you, I am a better man.
If you as a child was able to get through what you did as a child how much more can you get through now with the Lord and all of us by your side you were born for this DAY
Thank you for sharing. I came across your interviews for a few weeks and then this video came up. I can relate to what you are saying. My children are enrolled Natives (Phx area). I lived on the Rez a long time but now moved to town. I was adopted and that is a long story but I found out who my dad was, last year, and we have at least 3 tribes in there, with a couple famous people. It was interesting. These are all long stories, but short story is that my kids have their struggles relating to heritage and family. I did my best to help them process everything but I’m not perfect and we have some family issues. We are all LDS but I’m the only one going to church. I kinda drag my youngest daughter and her 3 kids. The rest are just not interested. Without getting in too much detail, I can say that genealogy and participating with my ancestors in the temple is what keeps me going. It’s also how I found my dad. Thank so much for listening.
Chief, a record of your father’s states, [Book of Mormon, Moroni 7:43-44) “And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek and lowly in heart. (44) If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he musts needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.” Remember, chief, you are carrying an extremely heavy burden of generations because of your charity for your brothers and sisters. It is charity that is driving you. Do not lose hope. Do not falter from your mission, even if you falter personally. Christ will raise you up. Remember that your identity is a child of God first. It is that recognition that is driving you today. We are children of our Heavenly Father first and foremost. God bless. Bob
We all have a path in life that our creator has foreseen for us. Unfortunately, we have only hindsight ourselves. BUT , then there is that thing…the Holy Spirit, a portion of God Himself within those who love Him. That is where His foresight can become our knowledge. Follow that spirit, His Holy Spirit within you, David. It will never fail you. Praying for you, your people, ALL PEOPLE. Blessings
Please don't give up! You are joining so many of together and giving us hope and courage. Those of us with pure hearts are being called to listen to you. My prayers are with you and your people. God uses imperfect people to do his work. You have opened up our minds and awakened us to the marvelous work that is coming forth. I have wondered so many times why there hasn't been open talk about the Lamanites over these so many years since the first missionaries were sent to them by Joseph Smith. Why have we not joined together sooner!
I have much of the same background that you have. It’s hard when you find yourself not only relating to an indigenous culture, but to a European one and then an LDS culture, too. I share many of the same feelings of love and shame and trying to carry the mistakes of our parents and also trying to make an honest way in life oneself - of hoping to do better and then dealing with self. I think I get it to some extent. Also, if you give up on the anger, it feels like you lose some motivation. I think the one thing I feel to say to you is that you are okay! You are a child of God our Creator, he knows you, his son died for you, and so did Joseph Smith. But, we are one and we will be healed, we need to trust in our Savior and keep moving and looking forward. It’s all good, it will all work out and you and I are okay.
Chief Midega, first I need to apologize for a negative comment I made on your emotional video. Because of my life's experiences, I felt attacked by you and I went into self-defense mode. I am thankful that you explained why you spoke as you did, and I still keep up with your mission. You are a good man and I am so thankful and proud of you as you continue to do your best in a very difficult mission. You have inspired me to look deeper into my Annishinabe spirituality that tie into my LDS, European identity. I know that you have a very important work to perform. Press onward.
Love you brother-I am praying for you and your people-they need you and we need you; this is such an enormous burden and I pray God will help to carry it to its completion.
Chief Midegah, i just have such a great love and respect for you. I see YOU, Chief, I GEAR you. Your frustration, anger which i see as righteous anger. I know it's hard to read, hear attacks against you , just pray fir these oeoole who rudely attack you. God says to oray for our enemies. I too had a very hard childhood up to my young adult yrs and thrn much hardship, sadness through my adult yrs. I understand hardship and judgenent. I know how it feels. I'm praying for you Chief. You are doing a wonderful work for the Native Americans , for your people. I have bith Cherokee and hopi ancestors and I'm very proud of that. Please know you have my love, my support, my prayers , my respect and my love. I'm a 69 yr old lds woman and I am so excited about your March forward to help reign in the lost tribes. If you are ever in south Louisiana please let it be known as it woukd be an honor to meet you in person and give you a big hug. Much love to you Chief ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are a wonderful person. You have a great work to do in gathering and uniting tribes together. I believe you have been called at this time to do good things, please don't stop. Don't listen to the ugly people. Know the great peace maker has a work for you to do. When your trying to do good opposition comes up. I love your poem. Thanks for all you do. May God bless you from a grandma. Your grandma's are proud of you. Go forward with faith knowing you have a lot of support, people are praying for you!
Dear Chief, I am a LDS from Mexico living in LA. I want to confess that I am jealous of you because half of my DNA is from Native people of Mexico and I don't know anything about them. This was because civil records were only for the Spanish people. You are proud of your family and that is very honorable. It is important to keep the traditions and teachings from our Elders. Nothing would make me more happy that receiving the ancient knowledge directly from my ancestors. You have that honor. This is your calling and each calling has challenges. Jesus talked directly to our people and they loved him for being a peace maker. Follow his example. Love and peace for you and your family.
I think you are an amazing human being & you have my total respect for the incredible job you are doing! You are very talented & you do everything with such integrity!
I love you Brother. Keep persevering. I sense your honestly, humility and kindness. I can barely imagine the stress you are under. But this is bigger than life. All I know is that with God the Father, the Creator of heaven and Earth and all things that in them are you will fulfill your destiny. I can’t help but think you were made for this. I know that with God leading, you taking his hand, you will win.
Thats what I told people that when you say things out of emotion that you say things you don't mean. This is a beautiful post and your light really shows in this video
I was given to my Grandma on the REZ because of not looking Cheyenne enough. We are considered mostly Native American Indian. We get the white part from the wars. We all are raised N. Cheyenne.THANKS for sharing your message.
I was not offended by your passion, chief. I am able to throw a cloak of love and mercy over your imperfections as we are called to do for each other by Jesus Christ. I pray for you and your path that you will have the Holy Spirit to be your guide always.
I have been following your story. Your past prepared you for your today. Your today is imperative!❤ Your purpose is becoming very clear. Your poem is beautiful. I used to climb trees, the tall oaks that grew in NY. The poem brought me back to all I felt up there. I know you need a respite. And I am ashamed that I selfishly want you to continue. But whatever you decide you have opened everyone's eyes. You have been very successful in that mission and I respect and applaud you. I said I was selfish - will you continue to open our hearts through your stories, poems and songs? I hunger to learn more. God speed!
Don't give in... the spirit is crying out for you... I cannot imagine how hard its been on you reliving old nightmares.. again and again for us.. opening yourself up completely and vulnerability to us... those that fight against you will have their judgment... your so important to us... your a gushing river in the desert thats known as LDS land and you gotta remember that... ❤❤❤
David my brother, your humility and wonderful spirit have been illuminated even more in this video. I am praying as many others are, for the Lord to bless and strengthen you in all the righteous desires of your heart. 🙏 Remember, with God, ALL things are possible. 😌
I don’t know what attacks are happening behind the scenes, but know that you are loved and supported by many of us! Your best is pretty amazing! I pray God’s strength to supernaturally carry you through! Prayers from this recently LDS friend. I’ve learned the song you taught to call the Holy Spirit in, and sing it all the time now. Thank you!!!
I hope your heart will be lifted and your mind clear. I am praying for you. No matter if your work will continue or they take back those burdens. Love from a brother -Mike
I think you’re a stand up guy. I’ve watched a lot of your videos. Dont lose faith brother! All any of us can do is the best we can. Prophecy will be fulfilled and we need to All make sure we aren’t found wanting when it comes our time to be weighed in the balance. Peace be unto you! 🙏
Chief, we have all had moments of frustration, anger and pain where we have cried out as you have done. It’s ok. I honor your humility in accepting guidance. But know that I respect you and the work you are doing and the path you are on. I feel uplifted every time I listen to you, even when you speak in frustration. Your best is just fine. I hear you saying you want to give the bundle back, but personally I am hoping you keep it as I appreciate your teaching and feel you are a wonderful bridge between your people and the rest of the world. I will stand with you.
If he wants to give the bundle back who would he give it back to ? His grandmother ? The Native American people ? Is that what his stake president says to do ? Like him I do wonder why the r presidency stays silent . But then then they always do . I do trust them completely but do wish they could say something. ?? Did they ask for the record he has ? Or did he give it to him ? If they asked to see it I’m sure they are being guided . It would be good to see all of these just to see them . I’m just wondering if like the a. The ones Joseph Smith was told not to translate because it had many truths in it but also many untruths and you need the spirit to read them . I just wish they could say something about his scrolls or have they ? I have t watched all Of this yet . I know the Bible says a lot of books are missing and names them . I’m Sure there are a lot more scriptures everywhere . I don’t really even know what they think about the Dead Sea scrolls . They just do not say very much . I did read them and found things in them I know are not true . For instance it says that Jesus was married to Mary Magdeline and kissed her on the mouth and his apostles were jealous because he loved her more than he loved them. Really ? Since the apostles were also married I find this hard to believe . And yet these Christian’s brag up these Dead Sea scrolls but do not even believe Jesus was married . I’m just wondering if they really even read them ?? Other things in them I found odd also . They did have the lay out of the city and the 24 temples like Joseph Smith has . Yet honestly I have never heard the church approves of them or does not approve of them . They never say much . I just know reading them did not much for me at all . Also there is a book out now of others in the Book of Mormon . Can read it on line . I guess the church has it but why not make it for us all to have . Again do they approve it or not ? It seems like they do . They don’t say much . They also have the book of Joseph . The Joseph from Egypt . Cwic shared it . Why do they not share it with everyone . It seems to be teaching temple things maybe that is why . It seems like they approve but they never say much . I’m sure they a lot of things they don’t share .
Thanks for the good teachings and I support you in whatever you decide going forward my grand father called a man from ft Hall Idaho is Indian son in that same sprit I feel a kinship to you hang in there brother
SEE ALL THE GODD GREAT COMMENTS? YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING. REMEMBER EVEN IF THERE WAS JUST ONE OR A FEW THE LIRD WOULD NOT OF DESTROYED SODOM. YOUR HEART TOUCHES THE PEOPLE OF ALL KINDS. YOU HAVE ❤️ KINDNESS LOVE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED YOU SAID WE ARE ALL ONE DONT LET JUST A FEW TAKE THAT AWAY OUR HEART ❤AND SOUL NEEDS YOU!
When I see something or someone that I feel is good being slandered, threatened, and people are trying to hush, I know it is of God and is good. I pray for you to find what God wants you to do moving forward. I thank you for what you have done so far. I ask God to bless you with comfort, strength and wisdom to move in whatever direction you choose. Thank you
May Heavenly Father be with you on this difficult journey! You are my cousin and taking the video down and saying you can do better, was a humility act that was powerful to hear. Your frustrations were probably warranted. People don’t easily understand each other, but, if we keep trying, we will find that commonality we have as Gods children and leave the differences outside the judgement box for God only. I don’t want to judge anyone unrighteously, because I won’t deserve a just, loving judgment from My Father in Heaven. May you have all your angel ancestors around you that you need with Gos blessing ❤. I would love to share a priceless photo of what I now believe was one of my tribal ancestors who came into my photo while light painting my car in 2012 to warn me of the place we were moving to and the troubles we would have there because of an unknown previously disturbed Native burial ground. I did not connect the photo to that move, til 2021, after another move. Take care!
Someone sent me that bootlegs copy. It was clear you were angry. I told the sender, without context to what you were angry about it wouldn’t be fair to judge you. We all are human. Church leaders and our dear Prophet included. You had a hard life for a reason that’s clear to me. You have a great work ahead of you. One drop at a time. 🙏🙏🙏
Much respect to you good sir!!🙏 This is the sad reality of social media. No matter what you do or don't do..the results will be the same. People are looking for reasons to be angry and those to attack. I don't know a single UA-camr who isn't dealing with great opposition. Keep up the great work. You're much appreciated 😇😇😇
Please don't quit what you are doing is giving a voice to all. I was so excited. Your grandmother and our Lord and Savior does not want you to stop. I know the evil one wants u to stop. You were born to do what you are doing. Our Father is given you a great work to do before his son your brother comes in Glory His 2nd Coming. I will pray that you do not quit you gave been given a great gift do not let the evil one win if u stop what of your children?? And generations to come ??
Thanks for your time and efforts. I was one of the few that saw that video. I'm glad that some people helped you to see that it could have been done better. Don't give time, energy and attention to the haters that will always hate. Work on the light in your eyes to share your gifts and heritage with others
I honestly do not know what you've been going through. I am not a member of any indigenous first nation tribe. I am just a fellow LDS Melchizedek Priesthood member. I am confident that any counsel from the brethren was only meant to ensure your success. You know, when Chief Moroni wrote that scathing letter to Pahoran, he probably could've went about it differently. But, they were at war with a ferocious enemy, and Moroni's supplies and force in numbers were dwindling. Pahoran sent him a letter back, stating that even though Moroni expressed his anger with him over his alleged lack of action and lack of support (not realizing that Pahoran was ousted from his judgement seat and was unable to assist him) he still rejoiced in the fact that Moroni and his men were still fighting the good fight and could help him take back Zarahemla. Regardless of the tone in his epistle, He was still Chief Captain Moroni. And you are still Chief David Midegah, your fathers son, selected by a very wise woman of your tribe to lead your people just like Moroni was called like his father before him to defend his. As you yourself stated, no one is perfect! Everyone makes mistakes! Whether you learn it from a Lodge ceremony or from a Temple endowment, learning from mistakes is why we are here on this earth. In the eyes of our savior and our loving Father in Heaven, we are defined not by our mistakes, but by how we handle them and by what we learn from them. It is why we must always cultivate within us a growth mindset. Eternal progression is simply defined a growth mindset on steroids. Whether they be from your grandmother, your mother, your father, or from you, mistakes are part of the learning process. Also, putting things into prospective, there are also many things you are doing right. You still have the scrolls and teachings entrusted to you by your tribe. Joseph Smith lost 116 pages of history and teachings entrusted to him not by a tribe, but by an angel of the Lord. You are nowhere near messing up that bad. And yet, the Lord still used him as an instrument in restoring the fullness of his gospel on Earth. There is nothing that the Peacemaker's Atonement cannot cover. I suggest you read closely the letter Pahoran wrote back to Moroni. In the great conflict of ideas for the hearts and minds of men many of us in church in regards to sharing the gospel feel as discouraged as Pahoran. It is difficult to invite people to read and pray about a record outside the Holy Bible, given to a young boy by an angel, and translated by the gift and power of God. To Western Europeans, it all sounds nuts! Here you come along being a descendent of both Joseph Smith and the Anashinaabe with scolls supporting the Book of Mormon as an authentic record. Do we take offense to some of the confrontational language used? Well, some maybe, but for most of us out here, no. We rejoiced at your being fired up carrying a title of liberty to help us take back Zarahemla (metaphorically speaking). Though I understand your need to honor your mothers (as you rightfully should), I know the choice is yours to make regarding the return of the peace pipe. I don't know all that it entails, but I know that leadership (well, leadership that is done right) is often a burden. Our brothers, the Dineh (Navajo) teach how life is a maze and that God, the perfect man, is at the center of that maze. You and I know from personal revelation that our Savior, Jesus Christ, the one who overcame all things, is the perfect man at the center of that maze, and that as we humbly ask for his help, his strength, and his wisdom at each crossroad, he will help us through that maze in getting us get closer to him. I bear testimony that I know that we are never alone. I bear testimony that the great Peacemaker, and all our ancestors watch over us, and are there to assist us as we kneel to pray in the name of Jesus Christ for help. It is why we have temples. Keep you recommend current. Go there to pray. list the pros and cons, make a decision, and pray to have clarity to have the Holy Spirit confirm your decision. I know that as we lean our teepee pole to his, we can make it all stand. I apologize if this all sound cliche. I just wanted to encourage you the way you have inspired me. All the best!
Sometimes our lives don’t happen the way we hoped. I think God recognizes our intent, He sees our hearts. Looking to God for our identity, our worth or our value is the way to keep balance. The other voices don’t really count in the end. I’m so sorry you are attacked. I see you. Remember that in the Bible it says to rejoice when we are persecuted. You are doing it right. Your humility speaks volumes. Sending prayers.
I wish i could give you the strength needed to carry on through your adversaries David but i can only pray the lord uphold you. I know it's difficult to endure wave after wave of bluster from those who would call you liar, fraud etc. You were brought forward in times like these and have left an indelible mark on so many. You have helped many walk a hard path with encouragement and brought enlightenment concerning the plight of a down trodden people throughout the world. I wouldn't blame you if you laid down this burden, you've done so much already. May God guide your path now and continually.
Please don't stop representing your people's voice to make their challenges and sufferings known. Please don't stop working for unity of all followers of Jesus Christ, the Great Peacemaker. I believe that He needs you in this role. Don't let your detractors stop your important work. There are many who support you and believe in you. Please keep up the good work! Our prayers are with you.
Chief/Brother Midegah, much respect for having a change of ❤. I hope you also had a moment to reflect about wanting to sue the Church. The government is not your friend. Your truth can stand on its own. Have patience and know the Great Spirit will prevail. I pray for you.
Oh how I feel a deep sorrow within you. That poem is beautifull. I used to climb trees as a kid and feel so free up there... You are being tested again and again. ..... you are doing so much good for your people and others. I pray you stay strong and you will do what is right because you can look in a mirror and see yourself. You are okay. Thank you for this sincere message Nobody is perfect. Please keep in touch after you have laid down your bundle. You need some time out after these last months
Stand FIRM! The enemies of Light will certainly seek to prevent; knowing the path of Light does contradict their way, and therefore does expose them. Strong truth does cause their bones to tremble. REMEMBER: “THOSE” that TARRY do SUSTAIN YOU as well as your tribal elders. You are chosen for good reason being qualified in every acceptable way. Let none deceive you from that which is FIRM! Even that predestinated and preordained is not to be tampered with. Woe unto those that work against that which the Spirit desires to make manifest. This is about ridding all excuses to not obey covenants and principles that STAND FIRM eternal. It may be that certain ones within the church will hear the voice of Spirit and will choose that voice over the voice of flesh.. These will come unto truth and be spared. If the Elders are instructed by those that tarry to have that Warning Letter be released to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; then so it is. Go then with clean hands; wholeheartedly unto the Jewels, and raise them up: as inspiration is given to do so. First last Last first … the repentant gentile will be grafted in to the mother tree and the root thereof. The rest will be left unto themselves; because they despised the right word sent to them in right season. You are the scapegoat that takes away their excuses. Therefore; these will make grave attempt to curve you away from your Firm Stance of Righteousness. You are prepared for this battle. A battle of Words!! You will be given the right Words in the moment thereof. Fear not! So far…YOU HAVE ONLY WHISPERED. The whispering of TRUTH is like THUNDER unto the rebellious one’s! A LOUD REBUKE STILL AWAITS THE DISOBEDIENT WHO WILLFULLY COME AGAINST THE WORK THE GOOD SPIRIT DESIRES! Again remember…you are SUSTAINED by THOSE that TARRY ….. needs you any greater witness? Great witness is here already. Gather all great Witness in ONE! …a time to remember purposes and to unite and to speak and act upon that desired purposes spoken of; as One Body perfectly fit together for the common welfare of ALL: without respect of persons. David.. you’ve only whispered!
I saw that video and understood your intent. It was emotional but I did not judge you, I focused on understanding what you were saying than how you said it. I think this is a good principle you are sharing here. We all have moments where we realize the intent may be right but there is a better way to do what we do. I needed to hear this message today because I have been dealing with some hard things for me today and you remind me it is better to carry forgiveness in my heart than bitterness. Thank you.
I've got 5 generations back secured in my Patrilinial line for my family history. Because of the claims of blood from another, we're cut off from our namesake (something we could previously trace back through royalty back to 400 AD). There's one more thing that I can do (can't afford it yet, but working on it) to know for sure. If I end up *not* being of that heritage, i'll have to be "ok" with it, but it feels like a big loss.
Thank you David..my daughter is half and i was told by WR res. that they dont recognize her as Native American. I didnt realize that it was our government that doesn't recognize her.
And yet every nation of the earth and over 75 percent of the native tribes returned to lineal Those who don’t should study history and the impact of racial purity on families It’s not native It was forced And sad they do it still to each other now
Through tears of growing understanding, with a mind more opened to the story of your direct ancestors, I write this missive to plead with you to continue your inspired work to help gather indigenous peoples . We need you very much . I’ m a Gentile . I need you, your message, your courage , your vision. When I first read the Book of Mormon I rejoiced, cried for happy to know of Heavenly Father’s true character. He loves all His children.These are the last days and when the time is right, and I feel it’s very soon, we will “build our teepees together “ our poles placed properly. How, when,I don’t know. This do know; you are the man for this time. All of heaven is surely cheering you on. Please. !! Do not let ignorance,or the adversary’s minions squelch your passion. Not long ago I discovered that my 16th great grandmother is a Wampanoag woman who married a Gypsy that was shunned by the Pilgrims. Together she and her husband contributed much to the town of Barnstable Massachusetts and raised many good children. I also have a granddaughter whose mother is of the WaccamawSiuan people in Columbus County here in North Carolina. I’m sharing your UA-cam videos with her, all her family, and all of my friends who will take the time to listen and watch. Two of my friends are already signed up for the conference in September in Wisconsin.I cannot go, but wish I could. I’ll never stop praying for you and all who work with you. 😊Remember D&C 27:15-18 !
I add my encouragement to you for your work. It is important for the remnant to be united so they can build Zion. Then gentiles like me can repent and help your people. I have been excited ever since I first saw a video of you. I can see the Peacemaker working through you and felt that if anyone could unite peoples, you could. For every one who attacks you, there are many who support you and love you. I pray every day for the Peacemaker to bless you. Thank you for this message. It shows you are learning and growing. And showing your emotions are not all bad, it just needs to be tamed so your message is heard. May the Peacemaker bless and help you, encourage and strengthen you.
My husband also would like to say, “ I also have Wampanoag and Massanet and Cherokee ancestors that I know of so far. I would say no matter what stand you take someone will take issue with it. Stand for the truth. Stand strong. Do not pay any attention to anyone who would stand in the way of what you know is true. The Savior was ridiculed., criticized, by misguided or evil people. He said, Come follow me. He said come follow me! You are being derided just like the Savior and criticized just like the Savior. Please know you are welcome in our home at any time.
I join those who have responded before me. You are a man of integrity, working for a righteous cause. All things will work out for you if you remember who you are and who that righteous cause is for. My prayer is that you may be strong in both spirit and heart to complete what is yours to do. 🫶
Take comfort in what Christ has to say about your struggles. Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Any true disciple of Jesus Christ must drink of the same bitter cup that he drank. And while Christ did ask for the cup to be taken, he knew it was his destiny and his honor to his father. So do I see the same with you and your calling. May God sustain you even in the depths of sorrow.
Dear Chief, I have a six week old granddaughter with noble Navajo heritage. You have helped me (an LDS woman raised in Salt Lake City with almost no understanding of Native history) to understand just how sacred and special our new baby is and to love my son-in-law and his family even more. My heart aches for your struggles. I hope you can remember that if you are doing God's work it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of you. Thank you for the good you have already done. ❤
My dear peaceful man, as a grandmother I give you my blessing to know you are loved. You are doing well. Keep going, don't quit.
Please, don't give up on this enormous challenge. WE NEED YOU. WE NEED YOU TO KEEP SHARING.
My dear Brother, there are more of us that are for you than that are against you. What this nation has done greaves me. I thought that the Indian were treated bad but I had no Idea on how bad it was. The time of the Gentiles is coming to an end. God has promised this land to your people and they need good leaders. I do my best to be on Gods side, I believe that God is on your side. Do what you think is best, but I believe you are needed. and Amen to the other comments. I have been awakened to our awful situation for over 5 years, I have learned that most people want to be asleep and get upset if you try to wake them up. You are waking them up and some don't like it but we all need to wake up. I would love to talk with you but I know that you are a very bussie man, May God bless and keep you safe.
Don’t let this world get you down brother. We need your light.
Chief, remember Jesus asked His father to take his burden from him in possible. Don't give up! You are fighting the good fight, persevere to the end of whatever. Keep humble. Your righteous indignation has been justified. This is from a 77 year old white, LDS member. I don't think there is a crucifixion in your future, but it may be hard. Doing your best with honor is to keep going forward.
Dearest Chief Midegah, I cried in gratitude the first time I heard you speak and that the tribes of Israel were coming forward. And now I feel to cry again that you have come under such pressure by those who should be loving you the most that it would be too heavy to bear. I see the pain in your eyes and want you to know that I support you and I know that there are many others who support you as well. I sent you an email a few days ago expressing my appreciation for what you are doing. You may not have seen it among everything else that may have come to you. I just want you to know that you are needed in the world right now. I think of Moroni who wandered alone for years to protect the plates and avoid being killed. You too are being attacked on all sides but there are many supporting and praying for you as well. Among all those who are fighting against Zion, there are so many who are fighting for Zion, please stay with us in the fight.
Amen !
Thank you for your heartfelt message. Because of you, we are studying and researching to get our school an accurate history curriculum, which has been hard, and to include your teachings, starting with the 7 Teachings of the Grandfather and learning our ancestors 7 generations behind us so that they can be a bridge to the 7 generations in front of them. These are sound teachings and will be well worth the investment into our children. Above all, we will be teaching "Remember who you are."
These are small steps, I know, but they are steps moving in the right direction so that "when the student is ready, the master will come", can be a part of our building up God's kingdom in the earth. And as you said to us mothers, remind the children the first sound they heard was their mother's heartbeat. Our children are indeed our greatest work of art. God speed and God bless.
As a member of the LDS Church I see that you are so needed!!! I dream of the day that we embrace the things that our brothers and sisters that have additional knowledge from our Heavenly Father.
Chief Midegah, thank you for all you have done and are doing and will do in the future to gather Israel!!! You are loved and appreciated! You are in my prayers. Be blessed 🌿
Thank you for your courage, faith, determination and flaws. I love your message and that you have honored us with your conviction and faithfulness. You are making a difference greater than you know.
Love you Chief. I hope you know that you are loved and accepted and appreciated in the church. You are my brother and I appreciate all you do to further the Lord’s work on earth.
I totally support your work for the Lord. When I saw you on UA-cam I felt that familiar spirit the Lord gives us when something is true. When I told another about it in the temple, I got those spiritual goosebumps I get when I share something true. I am a great grandmother. I pray for you young man. You are so precious and loved!
Chief Midigah, you are loved and respected, and might I say, “in great company”! There is not a good thing in this world if not worth fighting for. All the good men in this world have had time in the liberty jail. You will rally my dearest friend!! You will complete your destiny! Perhaps with more sorrow than you have expected but also with more joy than you will ever expect! I love and send prayers out to you. I’ll be in the Temple tomorrow and will be sure to add ur name to the prayer roll..
David, the Lord has given you a voice. Your poetry is deep and expresses so much from the heart, much like David is old. I'm impressed to share a few verses from two of the Psalms:
Psalm 39, selected verses - "I said I will keep watch over my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep watch over my mouth. . . while the wicked are in my presence; my pain was stirred up. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: Lord, let me know my end, and what is the extent of my days. . . And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.
Psalm 40: I waited patiently for the Lord; and He reached down to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud; And He set my feet on a rock, making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord. How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust. . .
Psalm 40:
Thank you for all you have done for your people and to educate the rest of us about their plight and sufferings. May God bless all the Native people of this land to come together and secure their God-given rights.
Peace be with you
Your heart is focused as our Savior has asked. Honoring your ancestors fits the proclamation directed in the verses we read in the book of Malachi ❤
Because of you, I feel so close to my ancestors. I need to strengthen my ties with them no matter who they are .
When you would speak I could feel a witness from the Holy Spirit speak to me of the truth when it was spoken.
I felt like you taught me how important it is to help others in the community. You give me excitement for the return Jesus Christ.
I have a greater love for the Book of Mormon. I see how hard it is to live in these last of the last days . And more all because of you . I feel like I saw through the anger and saw what God see. I hope my prayers help lighten your burdens
Remember you are loved.
Courage, Understanding, Acceptance, Love and Peace to you, me and is all. Think Celestial and the promise that attends that brilliant admonition 🙏❤️
🙏 You’re on our temple roll in Gilbert, AZ my friend.
Prayers for you Midegah. Peace, my brother.
We love you cheif Midegah.
We do! Please keep up the good fight!
Thank you Chief Midegah for all you have done and are doing to increase our appreciation and knowledge of your noble heritage. I am a 71 year old grandma here in Alberta Canada. Your struggles have humbled and taught me so much. Even though I am of white European descent, I feel drawn to your history and want to learn more. Because of you, I am learning and teaching my grandchildren to appreciate your rich heritage. I will be following you on youtube. God bless.❤
I am also LDS from Calgary AB Canada.
I'm from South Africa and have lived in Calgary Alberta Canada for 20 years, and I too, am so drawn to the history of these children of God.
Son, brother, Chief - Please remember that there is opposition in all things. A rock as it tumbles down the riverbed, polishes and perfects it. Resistance builds muscle. Your trials will strengthen your leadership qualities. I felt inspired to stop my project i was working on to tell you this. With❤
Dear chief Midegah, I am so grateful for the work you are doing. I am originally from Brazil, and recently, I found out through family history that I have native south-american blood, and my distant native ancestors were descendents of a chief who converted to Christianity and had dreams of his descendents with the portuguese being the future of the land. He helped the portuguese settlers to succeed in the land. The South-American Indians were mistreated also, but I am proud to have found out about this piece of family history and proud to still have 6% Native American DNA. I am also a member of the Chur h of Jesus, and I see your efforts as fulfillment of Book of Mormon prophecy. I pray that the Lord will give you strength to do what He requires of you! I love you, brother!
Chief you are helping the desert blossom like a rose. May God bless you and your family.
You have the gift of speech
Chief Midegah, I feel great kinship with you as a fellow traveler. As you speak, there is a great feeling of love. Our God is a God of passions. He feels very passionately for His family and I see you as a great example of one who has connected with his family and understands that we are all part of your family. God bless you in your journey and your mission to represent your Tribe and family. Thank you for being open and blessing us with your sacred teachings. You are a great example of how I want to fulfill my role as a father to my sons and daughters. I see you, and because I see you, I am a better man.
If you as a child was able to get through what you did as a child how much more can you get through now with the Lord and all of us by your side you were born for this DAY
Thank u for all you service to all mankind...remember opposition in all things...love you
Thank you for sharing.
I came across your interviews for a few weeks and then this video came up. I can relate to what you are saying.
My children are enrolled Natives (Phx area). I lived on the Rez a long time but now moved to town. I was adopted and that is a long story but I found out who my dad was, last year, and we have at least 3 tribes in there, with a couple famous people. It was interesting. These are all long stories, but short story is that my kids have their struggles relating to heritage and family. I did my best to help them process everything but I’m not perfect and we have some family issues. We are all LDS but I’m the only one going to church. I kinda drag my youngest daughter and her 3 kids. The rest are just not interested.
Without getting in too much detail, I can say that genealogy and participating with my ancestors in the temple is what keeps me going. It’s also how I found my dad.
Thank so much for listening.
Every day I look for a post from you.
Chief, a record of your father’s states, [Book of Mormon, Moroni 7:43-44) “And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek and lowly in heart. (44) If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he musts needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.”
Remember, chief, you are carrying an extremely heavy burden of generations because of your charity for your brothers and sisters. It is charity that is driving you. Do not lose hope. Do not falter from your mission, even if you falter personally. Christ will raise you up. Remember that your identity is a child of God first. It is that recognition that is driving you today. We are children of our Heavenly Father first and foremost. God bless. Bob
God Bless brother. Stay well. Continue with your message
We all have a path in life that our creator has foreseen for us. Unfortunately, we have only hindsight ourselves. BUT , then there is that thing…the Holy Spirit, a portion of God Himself within those who love Him. That is where His foresight can become our knowledge.
Follow that spirit, His Holy Spirit within you, David. It will never fail you.
Praying for you, your people, ALL PEOPLE. Blessings
Brother. Blessings.
Please don't give up! You are joining so many of together and giving us hope and courage. Those of us with pure hearts are being called to listen to you. My prayers are with you and your people. God uses imperfect people to do his work. You have opened up our minds and awakened us to the marvelous work that is coming forth. I have wondered so many times why there hasn't been open talk about the Lamanites over these so many years since the first missionaries were sent to them by Joseph Smith. Why have we not joined together sooner!
I have much of the same background that you have. It’s hard when you find yourself not only relating to an indigenous culture, but to a European one and then an LDS culture, too. I share many of the same feelings of love and shame and trying to carry the mistakes of our parents and also trying to make an honest way in life oneself - of hoping to do better and then dealing with self. I think I get it to some extent. Also, if you give up on the anger, it feels like you lose some motivation. I think the one thing I feel to say to you is that you are okay! You are a child of God our Creator, he knows you, his son died for you, and so did Joseph Smith. But, we are one and we will be healed, we need to trust in our Savior and keep moving and looking forward. It’s all good, it will all work out and you and I are okay.
Your a good Chief and father. Thank you for your wisdom.
Chief Midega, first I need to apologize for a negative comment I made on your emotional video. Because of my life's experiences, I felt attacked by you and I went into self-defense mode. I am thankful that you explained why you spoke as you did, and I still keep up with your mission. You are a good man and I am so thankful and proud of you as you continue to do your best in a very difficult mission. You have inspired me to look deeper into my Annishinabe spirituality that tie into my LDS, European identity. I know that you have a very important work to perform. Press onward.
May the Lord bless you. You are a son of God with a mighty heart.
Love you brother-I am praying for you and your people-they need you and we need you; this is such an enormous burden and I pray God will help to carry it to its completion.
👋😊fist bump🤛
Please do NOT quit the work!
Love your poem. It touches my heart.❤
I LIKE hearing your passion! Keep it coming! It’s inspiring to me! Not everyone is offended by passionate expression!
Listening to you is so joyous to my heart,
Chief Midegah, i just have such a great love and respect for you.
I see YOU, Chief, I GEAR you. Your frustration, anger which i see as righteous anger.
I know it's hard to read, hear attacks against you , just pray fir these oeoole who rudely attack you. God says to oray for our enemies.
I too had a very hard childhood up to my young adult yrs and thrn much hardship, sadness through my adult yrs. I understand hardship and judgenent. I know how it feels.
I'm praying for you Chief. You are doing a wonderful work for the Native Americans , for your people. I have bith Cherokee and hopi ancestors and I'm very proud of that.
Please know you have my love, my support, my prayers , my respect and my love. I'm a 69 yr old lds woman and I am so excited about your March forward to help reign in the lost tribes.
If you are ever in south Louisiana please let it be known as it woukd be an honor to meet you in person and give you a big hug. Much love to you Chief ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hear you brother. There are many who love you and extend the arms of fellowship and love. I send you light.
So proud of you as just a good, good, good man! No matter your heritage; you are a wonderful man and good human being!!! God bless you continue
You are a wonderful person. You have a great work to do in gathering and uniting tribes together. I believe you have been called at this time to do good things, please don't stop. Don't listen to the ugly people. Know the great peace maker has a work for you to do. When your trying to do good opposition comes up. I love your poem. Thanks for all you do. May God bless you from a grandma. Your grandma's are proud of you. Go forward with faith knowing you have a lot of support, people are praying for you!
Peace and love to you brother. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. I am looking forward to learning more. You have helped me tremendously
Dear Chief, I am a LDS from Mexico living in LA. I want to confess that I am jealous of you because half of my DNA is from Native people of Mexico and I don't know anything about them. This was because civil records were only for the Spanish people. You are proud of your family and that is very honorable. It is important to keep the traditions and teachings from our Elders. Nothing would make me more happy that receiving the ancient knowledge directly from my ancestors. You have that honor. This is your calling and each calling has challenges. Jesus talked directly to our people and they loved him for being a peace maker. Follow his example. Love and peace for you and your family.
I think you are an amazing human being & you have my total respect for the incredible job you are doing! You are very talented & you do everything with such integrity!
I totally admire you ❤️
I love you Brother. Keep persevering. I sense your honestly, humility and kindness. I can barely imagine the stress you are under. But this is bigger than life. All I know is that with God the Father, the Creator of heaven and Earth and all things that in them are you will fulfill your destiny. I can’t help but think you were made for this. I know that with God leading, you taking his hand, you will win.
Thats what I told people that when you say things out of emotion that you say things you don't mean. This is a beautiful post and your light really shows in this video
I was given to my Grandma on the REZ because of not looking Cheyenne enough. We are considered mostly Native American Indian. We get the white part from the wars. We all are raised N. Cheyenne.THANKS for sharing your message.
I was not offended by your passion, chief. I am able to throw a cloak of love and mercy over your imperfections as we are called to do for each other by Jesus Christ. I pray for you and your path that you will have the Holy Spirit to be your guide always.
I have been following your story. Your past prepared you for your today. Your today is imperative!❤ Your purpose is becoming very clear. Your poem is beautiful. I used to climb trees, the tall oaks that grew in NY. The poem brought me back to all I felt up there. I know you need a respite. And I am ashamed that I selfishly want you to continue. But whatever you decide you have opened everyone's eyes. You have been very successful in that mission and I respect and applaud you. I said I was selfish - will you continue to open our hearts through your stories, poems and songs? I hunger to learn more. God speed!
Don't give in... the spirit is crying out for you...
I cannot imagine how hard its been on you reliving old nightmares.. again and again for us.. opening yourself up completely and vulnerability to us... those that fight against you will have their judgment... your so important to us... your a gushing river in the desert thats known as LDS land and you gotta remember that...
❤❤❤
David my brother,
your humility and wonderful spirit have been illuminated even more in this video.
I am praying as many others are, for the Lord to bless and strengthen you in all the righteous desires of your heart. 🙏
Remember, with God, ALL things are possible. 😌
I don’t know what attacks are happening behind the scenes, but know that you are loved and supported by many of us! Your best is pretty amazing! I pray God’s strength to supernaturally carry you through! Prayers from this recently LDS friend.
I’ve learned the song you taught to call the Holy Spirit in, and sing it all the time now. Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing your heart❤️
I hope your heart will be lifted and your mind clear. I am praying for you. No matter if your work will continue or they take back those burdens. Love from a brother -Mike
I think you’re a stand up guy. I’ve watched a lot of your videos. Dont lose faith brother! All any of us can do is the best we can. Prophecy will be fulfilled and we need to All make sure we aren’t found wanting when it comes our time to be weighed in the balance. Peace be unto you! 🙏
Chief, we have all had moments of frustration, anger and pain where we have cried out as you have done. It’s ok. I honor your humility in accepting guidance. But know that I respect you and the work you are doing and the path you are on. I feel uplifted every time I listen to you, even when you speak in frustration. Your best is just fine. I hear you saying you want to give the bundle back, but personally I am hoping you keep it as I appreciate your teaching and feel you are a wonderful bridge between your people and the rest of the world. I will stand with you.
If he wants to give the bundle back who would he give it back to ? His grandmother ? The Native American people ? Is that what his stake president says to do ? Like him I do wonder why the r presidency stays silent . But then then they always do . I do trust them completely but do wish they could say something. ?? Did they ask for the record he has ? Or did he give it to him ? If they asked to see it I’m sure they are being guided . It would be good to see all of these just to see them . I’m just wondering if like the a. The ones Joseph Smith was told not to translate because it had many truths in it but also many untruths and you need the spirit to read them . I just wish they could say something about his scrolls or have they ? I have t watched all
Of this yet . I know the Bible says a lot of books are missing and names them . I’m
Sure there are a lot more scriptures everywhere . I don’t really even know what they think about the Dead Sea scrolls . They just do not say very much . I did read them and found things in them I know are not true . For instance it says that Jesus was married to Mary Magdeline and kissed her on the mouth and his apostles were jealous because he loved her more than he loved them. Really ? Since the apostles were also married I find this hard to believe . And yet these Christian’s brag up these Dead Sea scrolls but do not even believe Jesus was married . I’m just wondering if they really even read them ?? Other things in them I found odd also . They did have the lay out of the city and the 24 temples like Joseph Smith has . Yet honestly I have never heard the church approves of them or does not approve of them . They never say much . I just know reading them did not much for me at all . Also there is a book out now of others in the Book of Mormon . Can read it on line . I guess the church has it but why not make it for us all to have . Again do they approve it or not ? It seems like they do . They don’t say much . They also have the book of Joseph . The Joseph from Egypt . Cwic shared it . Why do they not share it with everyone . It seems to be teaching temple things maybe that is why . It seems like they approve but they never say much . I’m sure they a lot of things they don’t share .
Thanks for the good teachings and I support you in whatever you decide going forward my grand father called a man from ft Hall Idaho is Indian son in that same sprit I feel a kinship to you hang in there brother
SEE ALL THE GODD GREAT COMMENTS? YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING. REMEMBER EVEN IF THERE WAS JUST ONE OR A FEW THE LIRD WOULD NOT OF DESTROYED SODOM. YOUR HEART TOUCHES THE PEOPLE OF ALL KINDS. YOU HAVE ❤️ KINDNESS LOVE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED YOU SAID WE ARE ALL ONE DONT LET JUST A FEW TAKE THAT AWAY OUR HEART ❤AND SOUL NEEDS YOU!
CHIEF YOUR SOUL IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND PURE, PLEASE IGNORE THE IGNORANCE AND PRIDE OF LOWER SPIRITS SUCH THE ONES THAT ATTRACTED YOU.❤
When I see something or someone that I feel is good being slandered, threatened, and people are trying to hush, I know it is of God and is good. I pray for you to find what God wants you to do moving forward. I thank you for what you have done so far. I ask God to bless you with comfort, strength and wisdom to move in whatever direction you choose. Thank you
May Heavenly Father be with you on this difficult journey! You are my cousin and taking the video down and saying you can do better, was a humility act that was powerful to hear. Your frustrations were probably warranted. People don’t easily understand each other, but, if we keep trying, we will find that commonality we have as Gods children and leave the differences outside the judgement box for God only. I don’t want to judge anyone unrighteously, because I won’t deserve a just, loving judgment from My Father in Heaven. May you have all your angel ancestors around you that you need with Gos blessing ❤. I would love to share a priceless photo of what I now believe was one of my tribal ancestors who came into my photo while light painting my car in 2012 to warn me of the place we were moving to and the troubles we would have there because of an unknown previously disturbed Native burial ground. I did not connect the photo to that move, til 2021, after another move. Take care!
Someone sent me that bootlegs copy. It was clear you were angry. I told the sender, without context to what you were angry about it wouldn’t be fair to judge you. We all are human. Church leaders and our dear Prophet included. You had a hard life for a reason that’s clear to me. You have a great work ahead of you. One drop at a time. 🙏🙏🙏
I always felt you were being a warrior.
Much respect to you good sir!!🙏
This is the sad reality of social media. No matter what you do or don't do..the results will be the same. People are looking for reasons to be angry and those to attack.
I don't know a single UA-camr who isn't dealing with great opposition.
Keep up the great work. You're much appreciated 😇😇😇
Please don't quit what you are doing is giving a voice to all. I was so excited. Your grandmother and our Lord and Savior does not want you to stop. I know the evil one wants u to stop. You were born to do what you are doing. Our Father is given you a great work to do before his son your brother comes in Glory His 2nd Coming. I will pray that you do not quit you gave been given a great gift do not let the evil one win if u stop what of your children?? And generations to come ??
I agree 🙂
Thanks for your time and efforts. I was one of the few that saw that video. I'm glad that some people helped you to see that it could have been done better. Don't give time, energy and attention to the haters that will always hate. Work on the light in your eyes to share your gifts and heritage with others
I honestly do not know what you've been going through. I am not a member of any indigenous first nation tribe. I am just a fellow LDS Melchizedek Priesthood member. I am confident that any counsel from the brethren was only meant to ensure your success. You know, when Chief Moroni wrote that scathing letter to Pahoran, he probably could've went about it differently. But, they were at war with a ferocious enemy, and Moroni's supplies and force in numbers were dwindling. Pahoran sent him a letter back, stating that even though Moroni expressed his anger with him over his alleged lack of action and lack of support (not realizing that Pahoran was ousted from his judgement seat and was unable to assist him) he still rejoiced in the fact that Moroni and his men were still fighting the good fight and could help him take back Zarahemla. Regardless of the tone in his epistle, He was still Chief Captain Moroni. And you are still Chief David Midegah, your fathers son, selected by a very wise woman of your tribe to lead your people just like Moroni was called like his father before him to defend his.
As you yourself stated, no one is perfect! Everyone makes mistakes! Whether you learn it from a Lodge ceremony or from a Temple endowment, learning from mistakes is why we are here on this earth. In the eyes of our savior and our loving Father in Heaven, we are defined not by our mistakes, but by how we handle them and by what we learn from them. It is why we must always cultivate within us a growth mindset. Eternal progression is simply defined a growth mindset on steroids. Whether they be from your grandmother, your mother, your father, or from you, mistakes are part of the learning process.
Also, putting things into prospective, there are also many things you are doing right. You still have the scrolls and teachings entrusted to you by your tribe. Joseph Smith lost 116 pages of history and teachings entrusted to him not by a tribe, but by an angel of the Lord. You are nowhere near messing up that bad. And yet, the Lord still used him as an instrument in restoring the fullness of his gospel on Earth. There is nothing that the Peacemaker's Atonement cannot cover.
I suggest you read closely the letter Pahoran wrote back to Moroni. In the great conflict of ideas for the hearts and minds of men many of us in church in regards to sharing the gospel feel as discouraged as Pahoran. It is difficult to invite people to read and pray about a record outside the Holy Bible, given to a young boy by an angel, and translated by the gift and power of God. To Western Europeans, it all sounds nuts! Here you come along being a descendent of both Joseph Smith and the Anashinaabe with scolls supporting the Book of Mormon as an authentic record. Do we take offense to some of the confrontational language used? Well, some maybe, but for most of us out here, no. We rejoiced at your being fired up carrying a title of liberty to help us take back Zarahemla (metaphorically speaking).
Though I understand your need to honor your mothers (as you rightfully should), I know the choice is yours to make regarding the return of the peace pipe. I don't know all that it entails, but I know that leadership (well, leadership that is done right) is often a burden. Our brothers, the Dineh (Navajo) teach how life is a maze and that God, the perfect man, is at the center of that maze. You and I know from personal revelation that our Savior, Jesus Christ, the one who overcame all things, is the perfect man at the center of that maze, and that as we humbly ask for his help, his strength, and his wisdom at each crossroad, he will help us through that maze in getting us get closer to him. I bear testimony that I know that we are never alone. I bear testimony that the great Peacemaker, and all our ancestors watch over us, and are there to assist us as we kneel to pray in the name of Jesus Christ for help. It is why we have temples. Keep you recommend current. Go there to pray. list the pros and cons, make a decision, and pray to have clarity to have the Holy Spirit confirm your decision. I know that as we lean our teepee pole to his, we can make it all stand. I apologize if this all sound cliche. I just wanted to encourage you the way you have inspired me. All the best!
I love you Brother, thank you for opening my eye to so much..
Loved the poem..
Always in my prayers..
Sometimes our lives don’t happen the way we hoped. I think God recognizes our intent, He sees our hearts. Looking to God for our identity, our worth or our value is the way to keep balance. The other voices don’t really count in the end. I’m so sorry you are attacked. I see you. Remember that in the Bible it says to rejoice when we are persecuted. You are doing it right. Your humility speaks volumes. Sending prayers.
I wish i could give you the strength needed to carry on through your adversaries David but i can only pray the lord uphold you. I know it's difficult to endure wave after wave of bluster from those who would call you liar, fraud etc. You were brought forward in times like these and have left an indelible mark on so many. You have helped many walk a hard path with encouragement and brought enlightenment concerning the plight of a down trodden people throughout the world. I wouldn't blame you if you laid down this burden, you've done so much already. May God guide your path now and continually.
Please don't stop representing your people's voice to make their challenges and sufferings known. Please don't stop working for unity of all followers of Jesus Christ, the Great Peacemaker. I believe that He needs you in this role. Don't let your detractors stop your important work. There are many who support you and believe in you. Please keep up the good work! Our prayers are with you.
Keep on keeping on little brother.
Thanks Uncle.
Chief/Brother Midegah, much respect for having a change of ❤. I hope you also had a moment to reflect about wanting to sue the Church. The government is not your friend. Your truth can stand on its own. Have patience and know the Great Spirit will prevail. I pray for you.
Oh how I feel a deep sorrow within you. That poem is beautifull. I used to climb trees as a kid and feel so free up there... You are being tested again and again. ..... you are doing so much good for your people and others. I pray you stay strong and you will do what is right because you can look in a mirror and see yourself. You are okay.
Thank you for this sincere message Nobody is perfect. Please keep in touch after you have laid down your bundle. You need some time out after these last months
Stand FIRM! The enemies of Light will certainly seek to prevent; knowing the path of Light does contradict their way, and therefore does expose them. Strong truth does cause their bones to tremble. REMEMBER: “THOSE” that TARRY do SUSTAIN YOU as well as your tribal elders. You are chosen for good reason being qualified in every acceptable way. Let none deceive you from that which is FIRM! Even that predestinated and preordained is not to be tampered with. Woe unto those that work against that which the Spirit desires to make manifest. This is about ridding all excuses to not obey covenants and principles that STAND FIRM eternal. It may be that certain ones within the church will hear the voice of Spirit and will choose that voice over the voice of flesh.. These will come unto truth and be spared. If the Elders are instructed by those that tarry to have that Warning Letter be released to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; then so it is. Go then with clean hands; wholeheartedly unto the Jewels, and raise them up: as inspiration is given to do so. First last Last first … the repentant gentile will be grafted in to the mother tree and the root thereof. The rest will be left unto themselves; because they despised the right word sent to them in right season. You are the scapegoat that takes away their excuses. Therefore; these will make grave attempt to curve you away from your Firm Stance of Righteousness. You are prepared for this battle. A battle of Words!! You will be given the right Words in the moment thereof. Fear not! So far…YOU HAVE ONLY WHISPERED. The whispering of TRUTH is like THUNDER unto the rebellious one’s! A LOUD REBUKE STILL AWAITS THE DISOBEDIENT WHO WILLFULLY COME AGAINST THE WORK THE GOOD SPIRIT DESIRES! Again remember…you are SUSTAINED by THOSE that TARRY ….. needs you any greater witness? Great witness is here already. Gather all great Witness in ONE! …a time to remember purposes and to unite and to speak and act upon that desired purposes spoken of; as One Body perfectly fit together for the common welfare of ALL: without respect of persons. David.. you’ve only whispered!
I saw that video and understood your intent. It was emotional but I did not judge you, I focused on understanding what you were saying than how you said it. I think this is a good principle you are sharing here. We all have moments where we realize the intent may be right but there is a better way to do what we do. I needed to hear this message today because I have been dealing with some hard things for me today and you remind me it is better to carry forgiveness in my heart than bitterness. Thank you.
I've got 5 generations back secured in my Patrilinial line for my family history. Because of the claims of blood from another, we're cut off from our namesake (something we could previously trace back through royalty back to 400 AD). There's one more thing that I can do (can't afford it yet, but working on it) to know for sure. If I end up *not* being of that heritage, i'll have to be "ok" with it, but it feels like a big loss.
Well done. Pulling for you!
Thank you for the tone or climate of your heart.
Thank you David..my daughter is half and i was told by WR res. that they dont recognize her as Native American. I didnt realize that it was our government that doesn't recognize her.
And yet every nation of the earth and over 75 percent of the native tribes returned to lineal
Those who don’t should study history and the impact of racial purity on families
It’s not native
It was forced And sad they do it still to each other now
Through tears of growing understanding, with a mind more opened to the story of your direct ancestors, I write this missive to plead with you to continue your inspired work to help gather indigenous peoples . We need you very much . I’ m a Gentile . I need you, your message, your courage , your vision.
When I first read the Book of Mormon I rejoiced, cried for happy to know of Heavenly Father’s true character. He loves all His children.These are the last days and when the time is right, and I feel it’s very soon, we will “build our teepees together “ our poles placed properly. How, when,I don’t know.
This do know; you are the man for this time. All of heaven is surely cheering you on. Please. !! Do not let ignorance,or the adversary’s minions squelch your passion.
Not long ago I discovered that my 16th great grandmother is a Wampanoag woman who married a Gypsy that was shunned by the Pilgrims. Together she and her husband contributed much to the town of Barnstable Massachusetts and raised many good children. I also have a granddaughter whose mother is of the WaccamawSiuan people in Columbus County here in North Carolina. I’m sharing your UA-cam videos with her, all her family, and all of my friends who will take the time to listen and watch.
Two of my friends are already signed up for the conference in September in Wisconsin.I cannot go, but wish I could.
I’ll never stop praying for you and all who work with you. 😊Remember D&C 27:15-18 !
I add my encouragement to you for your work. It is important for the remnant to be united so they can build Zion. Then gentiles like me can repent and help your people. I have been excited ever since I first saw a video of you. I can see the Peacemaker working through you and felt that if anyone could unite peoples, you could. For every one who attacks you, there are many who support you and love you. I pray every day for the Peacemaker to bless you.
Thank you for this message. It shows you are learning and growing. And showing your emotions are not all bad, it just needs to be tamed so your message is heard.
May the Peacemaker bless and help you, encourage and strengthen you.
My husband also would like to say, “ I also have Wampanoag and Massanet and Cherokee ancestors that I know of so far. I would say no matter what stand you take someone will take issue with it. Stand for the truth. Stand strong. Do not pay any attention to anyone who would stand in the way of what you know is true. The Savior was ridiculed., criticized, by misguided or evil people. He said, Come follow me. He said come follow me! You are being derided just like the Savior and criticized just like the Savior. Please know you are welcome in our home at any time.
Just want to echo what a lot of others are saying in that we love you Chief Midegah and we appreciate everything you share
I join those who have responded before me. You are a man of integrity, working for a righteous cause. All things will work out for you if you remember who you are and who that righteous cause is for. My prayer is that you may be strong in both spirit and heart to complete what is yours to do. 🫶
Take comfort in what Christ has to say about your struggles. Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Chief, you didn't ask for the burdens of your childhood. Remember the caterpillar, keep persevering!

Wind of peace
Black son has places his children in all churches.
To practice his ways on holy ground
And has created divisions in the body of light.
Water is divided and unclean
Lossed the communication with beat of the mother.
Walking for the many is a calling
That many has wax cold hearing.
Leaded In there own way.
The atua creator has chosen you to enter in to the olive press
To become pure to leave the ways
Of the flesh behind.
To walk in pure love .
To mend the circle.
Listen to the love of the mothers
Heart of creation.
Speaking with pure love.
The world is full of contention.
The people of enoch are here have all supplies for the people.
People must return to pure light
To enter.
Baptist by fire
By 💧
Receive the first and sec comforter.
Washing of the feet to enter in to the sun gate.
To know we are brother and sister.
Remember the who you are
And remember the peace maker.
Of records pass on.
Many are called many don't pick up.
You pick up the great peace maker
Has chosen you.
You picked up .
And walking the trail of tears
Of the people..
Love one another as I have loved you. The washing of the feet is missing.
To link mother and father
Brother to sister
Wash each other feet
To have love for one another.
Love you brother..
Raising up your voices in song
Connecting withe beat of the mother.
Teaching the of the peace maker
The sheep know his. Voice
Become his voice.
Prepare the path red road.
Clearing of the black son and his children..has began
Zedikia bands have been lifted
Jessie power. Is back.
Let the young lions raise there voices
Must face the East. And take its seat .
commitment
Not many get to travel the sun gate
Any true disciple of Jesus Christ must drink of the same bitter cup that he drank. And while Christ did ask for the cup to be taken, he knew it was his destiny and his honor to his father. So do I see the same with you and your calling. May God sustain you even in the depths of sorrow.
