Clan Mother/Adoption into a tribe.

Another question of the day was about adopting into an American Native tribe.

This is now a tricky subject since the government, in their infinite supreme wisdom, made it possible to build and join an Indian casino tribe.

Back before first contact things were a lot less complicated.

Now, if you want to become a member of a tribe solely to reap the rewards from a casino, you need to find the blood trail, and then you need the permission of the conquering nation, your government, and the casino Indians.

If you wish to join a tribe that this government refuses to recognize, many of them have adopting ceremonies, most of them are still traditional.

However, the only thing that I can remember about adoption into my people since the 1940's is through a 13 moon ceremony.

A 13 moon ceremony has nothing to do with a women's moon ceremony, or a Jewish New Moon Ceremony, or anything dealing with Witches.

It was called that because it is a ceremony for woman becoming full blood members, or becoming a Matriarch tribal leader.

At the end of this ceremony one would be a full blood tribal leader of that tribe thus improving and keeping the tribe alive.

These Matriarch leaders are then responsible for the adoption of males into the tribe.

Tribal 13 moon ceremony.

13 Moon Ceremony to become a tribal Grandmother is a sacred ceremony

for Eastern woodland American native tribes to strengthen

and insure their royal families.

Eastern Woodland American Native tribe (Clan) is defined as a group of people usually related by family ties, and under the leadership of a matriarch the Clan is based on a matrilineal system.

They have tribal Grandmothers and Grandfathers, (13 mood ceremony)

as well as Clan Mothers and Clan Fathers.

The Clan Grandmother is the keeper of the sacred medicine bundle

from which the Clan derives its right of existence in most

traditional Native American Clans, and who, in conjunction

with the Sachem Chief, generally has the authority to set policy for

the Clan as a whole.

The Clan Grandfather carries the Clan name and who, in conjunction

with the Tribal clan father, is generally responsible for ensuring

that the policies established by the Clan Grandmother are implemented

at the well of the Sachem.

A person can also be adopted into a clan (The 13 moon ceremony).

Clan adoption is an almost universally accepted means of admitting

outsiders and helps in the preservation of the tribe.

The word clan comes from the time of the Vikings trade visit

and family mixings long before Christopher Columbus came to our shores,

the Europeans also have clans.

A 13 moon ceremony shows that a person cannot hand out names to non American natives for a price as is being done extremely often nowadays in native Indian country, by phony medicine men!

Of course the government BIA does not recognize this or any other ceremony from our ancestors so you must be the judge!

Many ask, "Why should it take time to be adopted into our tribe?"

We will answer your question with a question.

"Do you really wish to be a full blood member of the people?"

Because you do not have the royal blood line or perhaps do not have the ancestors blood line of any of our people one should understand that you must start from the beginning, learn everything about the family, were it came from, how did get to where it is now, were is it going in the future, and how does one actually get the blood?

All of these questions will be answered and must be excepted before the ceremony.

What can a tribe do if government refuses to recognize their tribe?

Nothing or Unite!

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/search?q=Unite

If the European American government tells a Native American tribe that they cannot be recognized as a tribe, that tribe needs to unite together, elect your people to an office each election in one village, town, city, county and state at a time!

Then you get to make the rules!

This now depends on you!

Are you looking for information about being adopted into a Casino Indian government run group of people, now jokingly referred to as Indians, or are you looking to be adopted into a real traditional American Native tribe?

  

Take back your Mother!

Did you know that none of the politicians back in the 1970's in the New England states were Native Americans?

Some of the politicians in New England wish to see our people get some rights long overdue, some politicians just wanted to find a way to end our court battles or just did not care however, as usual, most of the politicians had other interest!

If a betting person I'd be willing to bet that this is how it went throughout Indian country.

Be that as it may, we now have America and the world believing that only people with a government passport ( a little plastic card) are allowed to be called Indian!

Indigenous people of Indian country, did you know that for every casino Indian there are at least 50 real American natives, Black, Red, yellow, brown and even some that look White.

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/search?q=Happy+fathers+day

If some of your ancestors were in this country before first contact, it should not matter as to how or why the casino Indians sold out, you are still an American Native and it is way past the time for you to stand up and be counted!

If you belong to a tribe, unite them.

If you do not but know that you have native blood, no matter how much, join one.

If you are not sure ask someone.

Get involved with helping to get all Indigenous people on our land ( Mother Earth) together as one people under Creator.

We need a few billion American natives marching on all of our capitals and we need this now.

Take back your ancestors and your Mother!

If the European American government tells a Native American tribe that they cannot be recognized as a tribe, that tribe needs to unite together, elect your people to an office each election in one village, town, city, county and state at a time!

Then you get to make the rules!

Tribes Unite Across U.S. and Canada to Oppose Keystone XL in Declaration

It is intended as a message to President Donald Trump and may be sent to the United Nations.

Yessenia Funes  

MAY 17, 2017

Today (May 17), tribal leaders are gathering in Calgary, Alberta to sign a 16-page declaration against the Keystone XL Pipeline.

From the United States are the Great Sioux Nation and Ponca tribes and from Canada, the Blackfoot Confederacy. They will sign the “Declaration Opposing Oil Sand Expansion and the Construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline” as a message to President Donald Trump, reports Native News Online.

"There is a historic union between first Americans in Canada and Native Americans in the United States," said Casey Camp-Horinek, a councilwoman with the Ponca tribe in Oklahoma, to The Associated Press. "Long before a border ever existed on a map, a fictitious line on a map, we were a united peoples in our approach to care of Mother Earth."

Pipeline opponents seemingly won the battle against the 1,179 mile-long pipeline in 2015 when former President Barack Obama rejected developer TransCanada’s permit application. However, Trump entered the White House January 20
and
 signed a presidential memorandum to repeal that just four days later.

With this declaration, indigenous people across North America want Trump to know why this pipeline is destructive to their culture, safety and history. The preamble reads, per Native News:

https://www.colorlines.com/articles/tribes-unite-across-us-and-canada-oppose-keystone-xl-declaration

“We, The First People, were and remain the stewards of the land and with this Declaration renew our vow to carry that sacred obligation in defense of our Mother, the Earth, and all born of her body and nurtured at her breast who are no longer heard amidst the dissonance of industrialization and corporate domination.”

One of the declaration’s strongest demands revolves around treaty rights. Tribal leaders want consultation processes to change and require consent. Currently, companies such as TransCanada may include a Native American Relations Policy or Aboriginal Relations Policy (both of which TransCanada has), but a tribe’s rejection doesn’t factor in significantly. Tribal members might send this declaration to the United Nations, the AP reports.

Currently, the $8 billion pipeline is not guaranteed to happen. Groups have sued the federal government for the permit it issued TransCanada. In Nebraska, the project has still not been approved. Opponents have been preparing to build camps—similar to what was seen in North Dakota against the Dakota Access Pipeline—along the proposed pipeline route.

New London

In large red, blue and black capital letters on white poster board, Maggie Costello spelled out one of the messages she hopes to convey at the Women’s March on Washington, D.C., next Saturday: “UNITE THE STATES OF AMERICA.”

“We want the new establishment to know how we feel about Donald Trump’s treatment of women and minorities, and that we want justice and human rights to be protected,” the Mystic resident said, as she and about 20 others used bold-colored paints and magic markers to create posters they will carry at the event, organized for the day after inauguration day by groups concerned about the president-elect’s agenda. “We’re just doing our small part.”

Across the table, her friend Michelle Bohmbach of East Lyme worked on a sign that read “And Justice for All.” A $50 donation from William Kane of Quaker Hill paid for the poster board, paints and markers.

“We want to send a positive message,” Bohmbach said.

The Saturday afternoon of poster making took place in the basement of Hot Rod Café, where owner Rod Cornish was doing some final tallying for a bus he had organized for the march.

Marchers coming from across the country will be arriving on more than 1,200 charter buses, joining thousands more coming by car, air and train to the nation's capital for what could be the largest ever post-inauguration demonstration, according to organizers. Cornish, Costello, Bohmbach and more than 100 others will be traveling to the nation’s capital on two buses leaving from New London, while other southeastern Connecticut groups will be traveling on buses from Waterford and Norwich.

Bohmbach said several of her friends who can’t attend the Washington, D.C., event are planning to attend sister marches the same day in Hartford and Boston. More than 250 other sister marches are planned worldwide.

“We want to celebrate diversity, and we want to be taken seriously,” she said.

Like some others in the group, this would be Costello and Bohmbach’s first time participating in a political demonstration. But even those with past experience aren’t regulars at these kinds of events.

“The last time I did this was against the war in Vietnam,” said Charlotte Schroeder of New London, who will be traveling on the bus leaving from the downtown sports bar and restaurant. “I’m doing this for my grandchildren, and for my mother, who was a real champion of women’s rights, and for my aunt, who’s 97. I’m very concerned about the Affordable Care Act, even though I have Medicare. I’m concerned for my family and other people, and I’m really afraid about Roe v. Wade,” the Supreme Court ruling that established abortion rights.

Stonington resident Judith Hanratty, 69, will be going to the march with her daughter Kara Mignosa and 13-year-old granddaughter Quinn Mignosa, both of Noank.

Locals among thousands heading to D.C. for Women’s March

“I knew I had to do something,” she said. “I marched for women’s rights in the '80s, but I never thought I’d be doing this again.”

Nicole McDonald, a 16-year-old from Montville, also will be part of a multi-generational family group attending the march. Crafting a sign that said “MAKE AMERICA THINK AGAIN,” a play on the president-elect’s campaign slogan, she explained why she wants to be part of the march.

“I want to celebrate women’s rights and diversity,” she said. “The president-elect doesn’t stand up for that, so we have to take a stand against him.”

The Roman Catholic Religion

If the Pope truly believes that the Canonizing is the right thing to do, why not do this in one of the Missions in California?

Why Washington?

 

 

The Roman Catholic Religion

Déjà vu///Karma

If the Spiritual leader of the largest Spiritual beliefs in the world can keep (ignoring)

one of the now smallest Spiritual beliefs in the world)

Native Americans.

Shouldn't it be OK to ask a few questions about his Spiritual beliefs?

Let's start with,

What if I invited all of my faithful followers and all of the 'native' followers in Rome to meet me in Vatican City

for a Native American Adoption Ceremony in the Sistine Chapel and make them Saints of our people?

Would Pope Francis and his Catholics followers be OK with this?

If so, will my friends and followers get your coast and flying shoes on!

Or

Stop this 'rude-madness and spend a little time by, texting, emails, phone or media, something, anything, face to face would work fine and lets hash things out?

Remember, the pope's remembrance of Rosh Hashanah the Jews New Year and the kindness to the Muslim people and as well he should?

And yet he and his followers are 'hell bent on rudely" stepping on the Native American Ancestors by making a saint out of a shrine builder?

If this does go through they we all should do a little investigating on the Roman Catholic Church?

We all know who the leader of the Christian Religion (Church) is or should be,

(The Trinity)!

What the question now should be is,

"Who was the first leader (Pope if you well) of the Roman Catholic Religion

(Church)?"

The Roman Emperor St. Constantine (1) the Great.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_Great_and_Christianity

The Christian church that Constantine promoted was a mixture of true Christianity and Roman paganism.

In the New Testament,

there is no mention of the papacy,

God is the only leader?

worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary,

the perpetual virginity of Mary,

the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix).

"Jesus Christ and only Jesus Christ under orders from father 'God' is the way, the truth and the light!"

"Mary, no longer a virgin wife of Joseph with many children, is not the Mother of God!"

Petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers?

"All prayers should go to God and blessings come from God."

apostolic succession,

the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments,

infant baptism,

confession of sin to a priest?

"Confessions(prayer) to your God."

purgatory,

indulgences,

the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.

"The bible, the Christian word from God, is the only Authority over all creation!"

Question: "What is the origin of the Catholic Church?"

The Roman Catholic Church contends that its origin is the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ in approximately AD 30. The Catholic Church proclaims itself to be the church that Jesus Christ died for, the church that was established and built by the apostles. Is that the true origin of the Catholic Church?

On the contrary. Even a cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles.

In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.

So, if the origin of the Catholic Church is not in the teachings of Jesus and His apostles, as recorded in the New Testament, what is the true origin of the Catholic Church?

For the first 280 years of Christian history, Christianity was banned by the Roman Empire, and Christians were terribly persecuted.

This changed after the “conversion” of the Roman Emperor Constantine.

Constantine provided religious toleration with the Edict of Milan in AD 313, effectively lifting the ban on Christianity.

Later, in AD 325, Constantine called the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify Christianity.

Constantine envisioned Christianity as a religion that could unite the Roman Empire, which at that time was beginning to fragment and divide.

While this may have seemed to be a positive development for the Christian church, the results were anything but positive.

Just as Constantine refused to fully embrace the Christian faith, but continued many of his pagan beliefs and practices, so the Christian church that Constantine promoted was a mixture of true Christianity and Roman paganism.

Constantine found that, with the Roman Empire being so vast, expansive, and diverse, not everyone would agree to forsake his or her religious beliefs to embrace Christianity. So, Constantine allowed, and even promoted, the “Christianization” of pagan beliefs. Completely pagan and utterly unbiblical beliefs were given new “Christian” identities. Some clear examples of this are as follows:

(1) The Cult of Isis, an Egyptian mother-goddess religion, was absorbed into Christianity by replacing Isis with Mary. Many of the titles that were used for Isis, such as “Queen of Heaven,” “Mother of God,” and theotokos (“God-bearer”) were attached to Mary. Mary was given an exalted role in the Christian faith, far beyond what the Bible ascribes to her, in order to attract Isis worshippers to a faith they would not otherwise embrace. Many temples to Isis were, in fact, converted into temples dedicated to Mary. The first clear hints of Catholic Mariology occur in the writings of Origen, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, which happened to be the focal point of Isis worship.

A scene from the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville last summer. (Rodney Dunning)

The 18-year-old, excited by his handiwork at the bloody rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last summer, quickly went online to boast. He used the handle VasillistheGreek.

“Today cracked 3 skulls open with virtually no damage to myself,” the young man wrote on Aug. 12, 2017.

Of the many white supremacist organizations that have sprung up in the past few years, Atomwaffen is among the more extreme, espousing the overthrow of the U.S. government through acts of political violence and guerrilla warfare.

Journalists with ProPublica and Frontline gained insight into Atomwaffen’s ideology, aims and membership after obtaining seven months of messages from a confidential chat room used by the group’s members. The chat logs, as well as interviews with a former member, reveal Atomwaffen has attracted a mixture of young men — fans of fringe heavy metal music, a private investigator, firearms aficionados — living in more than 20 states.

What is the NVWG?

The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is co-presented between the Department of Veterans Affairs and Paralyzed Veterans of America. The Games serve Veterans with Spinal Cord Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Amputations and other central neurological impairments with the goal to increase their independence, healthy activity and quality of life through wheelchair sports and recreation. Veterans are being exposed to wheelchair sports at their home VAMC or PVA Chapters as part of their rehabilitation to improve function, independence and getting them active in their home communities in sport and fitness.

We are preparing to celebrate our 38th year in Orlando, Florida, July 30 – Aug 4, 2018. The Games move from city to city annually to take advantage of the opportunities that educate Veterans on accessibility, travel, adaptation, etc. Additionally, moving the event annually helps introduce the program to new Veterans, sponsors and partners for the VA and PVA. Over the years we have seen the benefit of these relationships that strengthen opportunities for Veteran services but also for the greater disabled community in that area for years afterward.

U. S. Forest Service employees vandalize Native American town site

Is This Ignorance Or Malice, You Decide
Recently there have been two places of Native American Cultural significance,
or to us, Sacred Places, that have been abused by Non Native people,
representing the U.S. Forest Service.
One was in the Deep South, in Georgia, the other in the Far West, in California.
The thing that these two events have in common, is a seemingly complete lack of respect
or awareness, of just how important these places were and are to Native People.
I have personally seen this kind of shameful lack of respect for our Sacred Places,
while attending a Celebration Event at the Natchez Sacred Mounds in Louisiana.
For longer that I care to remember, I watched in total shock while people,
who did not appear to be Natives, both adults and children, played a game
of football on the top of the Sacred Mounds.
No one in the area who saw this happen, seemed to find anything wrong with this
and this is a memory that I cannot ever forget.
Standing together has never been one of our strengths, but if we as a People, as a race,
do not join hands across this country, these Sacred Places, as well as our very being,
may soon become like the dust blowing in the wind.
If you are able, please write, call, blog, do something, do anything, just get involved,
but please, please, do not ignore these things.
It is never going to stop unless and until, we as a People stop it.
My ancestors, your ancestors, are watching and waiting for us to unite and
once again become the strong, proud, First People of this Country.
We cannot remain silent anymore.

Violation of federal laws

The United States Forestry Service must comply with the laws of the United States.

The American Indian Religious Freedom Act (Public Law 95-341, 42 U.S.C. 1996 and 1996a) Guarantee the right of all Native Americans to visit Native American sacred sites. Stiff fines and/or jail time is associated with some of these laws.

Federal law (18 USC 1361) makes it illegal to steal or damage any property of the federal government and establishes provisions for fines and imprisonment, timber found on federal land, in turn, is protected by a section of the criminal code labeled 18 U.S.C. §§ 1852-56.

Federal code known as 16 USC 470aa-470mm establishes civil and criminal penalties for the destruction or alteration of cultural resources.
