Fifty Years of Black History
Before continuing with the Black History I must say something about the Red History of the America's. Our history goes back much farther in relationship to dealings with the Europeans. Not that our Black brothers and sisters do not deserve what they have obtained, they do. When does the Indigenous tribes of the America's get their justice. Many tribes in Central ans South America are still being annihilated at this very hour in the name of GREED. My dream is to see a new political party come to power. That party would be the Red Party (no reference to Communism) or Indigenous Party. It could be do if the tribes of this country would put away their differences and the ones that have learned the ways of European Greed to shelve it forever. Greed will be another subject I address later) It's time we all pull together or we loose completely. By. He Who Walks in Fire

Night of the Red Sky Native American Metis Prophesy
The Prophetic Visions of 'Grandfather' from Tom Brown Jr.

The group mentioned in the badge below is dedicated to news that is important to all Americans. The Indigenous peoples should also pay strict attention to the Islamic Jihadist threat in this country. If we think that we have no battle with them, you might think again. We do not believe in Ala or the sacred Koran, therefore we are also marked as infidels. The price for being an infidel is death.
I can not support Russel Means and the Lakota nation or any other tribe in declaring themselves a free nation at this time. It is a time for everyone to unite in a common cause. If America is destroyed by the Jihadists then we all loose.
What is left of our Sacred Sites, our Elders, Women, Children and the Warriors will be no more. Please think of what I have said. All tribal nations must unite as one and become allies of the rest of America for the good of our country.
