A white man and an elderly Native man became pretty good friends, so the white guy decided to ask him: What do you think about Indian mascots? The Native elde...r responded, Here’s what you’ve got to understand. When you look at black people, you see ghosts of all the slavery and the rapes and the hangings and the chains. When you look at Jews, you see ghosts of all those bodies piled up in death camps. And those ghosts keep you trying to do the right thing. But when you look at us you don’t see the ghosts of the little babies with their heads smashed in by rifle butts at the Big Hole, or the old folks dying by the side of the trail on the way to Oklahoma while their families cried and tried to make them comfortable, or the dead mothers at Wounded Knee or the little kids at Sand Creek who were shot for target practice. You don’t see any ghosts at all. Instead you see casinos and drunks and junk cars and shacks. Well, we see those ghosts. And they make our hearts sad and they hurt our little children. And when we try to say something, you tell us, ‘Get over it. This is America. Look at the American dream.’ But as long as you’re calling us Redskins and doing tomahawk chops, we can’t look at the American dream, because those things remind us that we are not real human beings to you. And when people aren’t humans, you can turn them into slaves or kill six million of them or shoot them down with Hotchkiss guns and throw them into mass graves at Wounded Knee. No, we’re not looking at the American dream. And why should we? We still haven’t woken up from the American nightmare. ~source unknown See more

Being a leader is a huge responsibility. A lot of leaders struggle to balence productivity with creating a positive environment.

Why I'm Supporting BDS - And Why You Should Too https://youtu.be/Wa1WgvbYtmk

A shaman was asked: What is poison? - Anything beyond what we need is poison. It can be power, laziness, food, ego, ambition, vanity, fear, anger, or whatever.... What is fear? - Non-acceptance of uncertainty. If we accept uncertainty, it becomes adventure. What is envy? - Non-acceptance of good in the other. If we accept good, it becomes inspiration. What is anger? - Non-acceptance of what is beyond our control. If we accept, it becomes tolerance. What is hate? - Non-acceptance of people as they are. If we accept unconditionally, it becomes love. The Shaman by Bret Buckley

5500 Indigenous women and girls go missing or murdered every year. We need to change the laws that govern the Indigenous Tribes because they make it easier for people to attack indigenous people. Understanding the history of the creations of the laws and how they effect the people is important for productive and appropriate change.

Police Brutality encouraged by the corrupt government, this is all too common all over the world. We had the opportunity to interview someone who grew up in Russia. Someone who understands this concept too well. Everything must change, the right to protest means the right to have a say in how you are governed and who governs you. That right should never be taken away ______________________________________________________________ FOLLOW US: facebook.com/nonviolenceny | instagr...am.com/nonviolenceny | twitter.com/nonviolenceny | medium.com/nonviolenceny JOIN US: nonviolenceny.org ______________________________________________________________ See more
