A message from Grand Council Chief Madahbee
Chief Mahdahbee calls on us to inform ourselves about challenges affecting us from the government. Of course he is talking about Canada's attacks against First Nations, but what he says also applies to the people of our country, and our state.

RIP Senator Inouye, a Staunch Fighter for Native People
Sen. Inouye Walks On With an ‘Aloha’
ROB CAPRICCIOSO
December 17, 2012
U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, 88, passed away December 17 due to respiratory complications after having been hospitalized since early December, his office has confirmed.
His last word was reportedly, “Aloha.”
Inouye had served in the U.S. Congress since 1959, and had long been a strong advocate for American Indians and tribal sovereignty and self-determination. His role as Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman was useful time and again for tribes and federal Indian affairs interests. He sponsored and supported numerous tribal and Indian-focused bills and funding throughout his service.
“Indian country has lost its greatest champion in the history of the United States Senate,” said Chris Stearns, a Navajo lawyer and chair of the Seattle Human Rights Commission. “When he started serving in Congress, the federal policies of termination, relocation, and Public Law 280 hung like a specter over Indian country. Inouye helped forge an entirely new dynamic, a relationship premised on self-determination, honesty, respect, and cooperation during what turned out to be the terms of 11 different U.S. presidents.
“Inouye's unquestioned stature in the Senate meant that even when things looked the bleakest, Indian country always had the support of one of the most powerful men in Congress,” Stearns added.
Meeting with Indian leaders at the Democratic National Convention in September, Inouye said tribes should “speak with one voice” on big issues, in order to have the greatest impact and success.
Earlier this month, Inouye had been named by Democrats to serve once again on the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs in the next session of Congress, starting in 2013.
Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, and longtime colleague of Inouye, was scheduled to make a statement on the Senate floor commemorating Inouye’s life and times on the evening of December 17.

"An elder woman was thrown to the ground but many women stood up to the Security Guards. We have warriors in our midst." There is an old, old teaching that the nations will rise when the women stand up. Chief Spence is standing up and the women are obviously standing with her. And the men are watching out for the women.
The real deal on the Mayan Calendar
"According to the Mayan calendar, the 21 of December is the end of the non-time and the beginning of time. It is the end of the Macha and the beginning of the Pacha, the end of selfishness and the beginning of brotherhood, it is the end of individualism and the beginning of collectivism – 21 of December this year. The scientists know very well that this marks the end of an anthropocentric life and the beginning of a bio-centric life. It is the end of hatred and the beginning of love, the end of lies and beginning of truth. It is the end of sadness and the beginning of happiness, it is the end of division and the beginning of unity, and this is a theme to be developed."

In an interview with the CBC's Chris Rands, Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence talks about her hunger strike and why she wants to meet with the prime minister. The bottom line for Chief Spence is the treaty relationship that First Nations people have with the Crown, and she will not stop until she meets with the PM and representatives of the Crown

It's all about energy alignment over a period of time resulting in an eight minute period of extreme clarity. According to Ac Tah, the time between noonish today to Noonish the 23rd, and the epicenter is from the southern tier of the US down through Central America, but the effects can be felt worldwide.

Golden Light Eagle, Mayan elder, explains the cyclical calendar of 5,125 years, all connected to the many other Mayan calendars of different periods, 17 years, 23 years and more. When the big cycle ends, another cycle begins. One Sun cycle ends Dec. 21, and on Dec. 22 a new Sun cycle starts. Supposedly something is going to change in the Sun. Since colonization, this knowledge is lost. Tradition says we are to do meditation and prayer for the next cycle, to ask for a better way.
