    Thank you Mr Orona🙏 I am a Bahai, Anishinabe Ojibwe Grandmother and 3rd generation Anishinabe Ojibwe veteran. There are 5 generations of Bahais in my family. My Spirit Name is Binesii-Ikwe (Thunderbird Woman) 🦅. The white Bahais have a lot to learn and are still very racist. Sometimes covert and sometimes overt. They will actually gang up on me. That's okay, I work for a mainstream university. I have built an Indigenous Peoples Medicine Garden. Infiltrate not assimilate ✊️❣️

      I learned something very significant from your comment dear Grandmother. I am a AA from Florida and go by the name Benny which is a play on my real name. I have studied and found connections with the thunderbird which now I know from your comment is called Binesii by your people. I would love for you to look up the Bennu Bird of ancient Egypt. He's the same bird but from a different reference point of the people in Ancient Egypt. The name is even the same but it's like one is saying his name with an ancient Native American accent and the other ancient Egyptian. It's also worth mentioning Europeans learned from us in Africa and the deity later became known as the Phoenix to them. And if you think about it it's another way of saying Bennu, but very similar to the Binesii pronunciation

      @@Benny_San wow! Very interesting. My family comes from the Crane Clan, though Binesii-Ikwe was a Spirit Name given to me around age of 55, by a Medicine Man and Army veteran. He was not a Bahai. My first Spirit Name was given to me by Joseph Flying Bye, a WW11 Navy Veteran. He was a Bahai, and is in the Spirit World. He was from Standing Rock, where Kevin Locke was from. As Anishinabe we believe everything in this world represents something in the Spirit World, so Binesii-Ikwe means the large birds🦅. It represents the Thunderbird in the Spirit World. The Thunderbird bring good things and also JUDGEMENT! We are the protectors of humans and fight the underwater creatures. Maybe also the Phoenix? Thank you so much for sharing

      @@macunz111 I'm humbled for you sharing so much wisdom and knowledge. I know in the old days we, as humanity, revered the knowledge and wisdom of those generations who came before us and I am in this convo. I Google'd Kevin Locke and I'll definitely check out more about him. So thank you for that. When you say he fights the underwater creatures it reminds me of the Mexican flag with the Bird and Serpent under its talons. If you search far enough in history you find that the dragon was never associated with fire, but with water. You find the bird serpent symbol all over the world, even as far as China with the Fenghuang bird (also the Phoenix) and the dragon.
