Long ago when I was in grade school we would recite this poem like a nursery rhyme. Now it sounds more like a funeral dirge. "Where we walk to school each day, Indian children used to play- All about our native land, Where the shops and houses stand, And the trees were very tall, And there were no streets at all Not a church and not a steeple, Only woods and Indian people. Only wigwams on the ground And at night bears prowling round- What a different place today Where we live and work and play!
I've read up a lot on the Eastern band of Cherokee here in the Carolinas. Sad, sad stories. If you visit the reservation, it's even sadder.
tis true, some old nursery rhymes and fairy tales are cynical. what I don't like also is the way full length cartoons, some Disney did, are full of a moral message of these times. Especially some made after Walt Disney passed on.
I have seen many visions fairy tales are made of....don't get me wrong about not appeciating some people contact in dreams and awake telepathically, I think this gift comes from a time when I did not try to summon up the visions of the forest. I asked the tree spirits why I never saw children spirits..and I would like to see some..and lo and behold...a little later..a few children were a leaping thru a sunny portal window on the crest of a hill.
read this somewhere can't remember were eventhough the message sad it makes a good read does anyone have an idea who wrote it?
it makes me so angry what was done and is still done to the aboriginal people of canada fucking government...honestly i wish harm upon no one but fuck i would definitely do something terrible if giving the chance to our government for what they've done/doing i feel very connected to the aboriginal spiritual way of life and it just bothers me so much....
OK, but do you REALLY think the world would be a better place if the US and Canada would be ruled by some indian tribes today ?????
