When my family caught covid in March my dad went to the hospital, and died 12 days later. I was on the road when he went into the hospital, but when I came home I picked leaves off our juniper bush and steamed them to help my mom and sister breathe, something my Algonquin grandma used to do for me as a little kid for my sever asthma. I also used other natural remedies, "went back to the land" to help my mom and sister pull through, since there was nothing else besides Tylenol we could do.

as a member of the Anishinaabe tribe. Thank you so much for this video. My mother took me away from the reservation and my family who live there, so I rely on videos like this to connect to my culture and learn our history. I found this video very insightful and put things into a perspective I can appreciate.

Before people get all bent out of shape... Going back is not about burning down your house and selling your car quieting your job then building a original lodges and living in the bush etc. Going back is about finding inner balance that one can walk as one with self our brothers and the land in a kind way. Going back is gathering “old” knowledge of living with and off the land only taking or using what one needs. ( We are not locust although that is the way of things right now. ) P.S. Many have been lead to believe the indigenous were simply “hunter gatherers”. That is a “LIE”. We had considerable knowledge of large scale agriculture and irrigation systems. Things to think about.

Only taking and using what we need....that is the key

DEcolonize, RE-Indiginize. Return to the Source, we have to go back to where we were forced away from.

Awesome and I believe it is so!

Give thanks! Issac

Amazing.. thank you

I’ve felt the need to “go back” and just live off the land for so long. I’m just scared because I don’t think my connection to spirit is deserving of all Mother Nature has to offer. Although, my car did break down on my first solo journey to the woods.

No we can only go forward. Everyone cant go back and live off the land, that would do more harm than good. We need to go forwards and start making a world like the Jetsons cartoons. We need to do it in a very smart way, employing the wisdom of the ancient and nature. We need big cities and towns so that we can stay off the land and give it to the wild animals. We need totally new cities built in whole new ways though.

powerful message

ABSOLUTELY the truth....

So true

Hello there, My comment may not be like most of the others, but it is important to me to open up about that. I am french and always lived in France. I am 22, at the moment, close to my 23th spring. My whole life, I have been close to nature in a way, animals, living as much as I could in harmony with everything around me, being an animist. Through my research to find other beliefs close to mine, the only ones I could find and feel a connection with, were the ones of the First Nations. I never understood it. But I always felt like it was more natural and logical to me than any other. Something I never felt with my people. I can't explain it. Now a day, I'm trying, from France, to help First Nations as much as I can. I don't have a lot of money, just what's needed for me to live an humble life. But that's okay. I want to talk about MMIW, Orange Day Shirt, and things like that. I want to teach people about your condition, and about the real story and how things really are for you all now, in both the US and Canada. When I read Dominique Rankin's book, I felt like... I don't know how to name it. I have CPTSD, so I felt like someone could understand me, more, that a people could understand me, in this healing journey, facing traumas. Also, the more he was talking about how he lived before the reservations, the residential school (it was terrible to read about it, but necessary, in a way), I felt like it was a logical way of life : simple, slow, with nature's seasons, calmer and more relaxed life, in peace and harmony. Since then, the Anishinaabe have always had a big place in my heart. It feels like you are the family I "should" have had, in a way. I will never stop saying I am white, agender, french, or use any other terms that aren't from your culture (like for my gender for example), because I don't want to do any culture appropriation. But I feel a connection I can't denie, and to me, your people got the keys of spirituality, wisdom, a lot of different medicine, that can help us live a better life, closer to nature. Europeans may have forgot about it, but we once lived just like you, First Nations, did. It is just that we stopped long before we forced you to stop, and for the worst. We became greedy, bitter, anxious, unhappy, and then, we forced the ones that weren't suffering like us (what they called "uncivilizised") to suffer like us, because we couldn't take it, I suppose. I want things to change, for the better. What was done then was a horrible genocide and it should have never happened. What you are experiencing now because of the colons descendants isn't right either. But I want to believe that we can all, Yellow, Red, Black, White people, create a better place, a better future, not just for us, but also for the next generations. I want to learn from your people. I truly want. I may have a warrior spirit, but my heart is peaceful and right. Thank you for reading this long comment. Take care of yourself, Tala
