Sometimes I wonder in which direction the Mohawk
Nation is going. Will it end up in chaos like it seems to be headed, will
the chiefs ever be re-appointed and will the council fires get started
again. If not let the fall of the Iroquois empire be a slow one, one which
I will not see in my lifetime. Otherwise my soul will die to see such a
great Nation of people die. What else will there be left in the world with
the principle of respect being so high and its people gone. I could not
live as a memory of my people, a book on the wall or even a token of ancestors
who once lived.
If so let the creator of our people take my life
away and continue on into our next world. If our journey into this one
has been a failure let the next world be even better. Otherwise the great
woman who feel from the world in the clouds would have been all but for
nothing. It is that woman who brought life into our world gave us hope,
dreams and an existence to live by. If there is no respect left in this
world to continue, I will take what I learned with me on to my next life.
On with the great ways of the woman and all of what
she has given us. All of what she has taken fought for and created for
us humans. Only to have it all destroyed by ignorance, intolerance and
modern stupidity. Let the people who still keep these great ways continue
on, both here and on in the next world. They are the ones who remain true
who will continue to bring life to humans and give our existence meaning.
Anything short of the humanity we people here on
earth are capable of only leads us closer to our own destruction, our own
demise and trip into our next world. We had once a world before this one
and it to has fallen, fallen to whims of humanities greed. If we fall as
a people, our whole humanity has fallen, our thoughts and ideas. All no
longer………….
The Iroquois Empire has had a long and hard life
in and can continue to grow if people want it to truly prosper as it was
intended. Its principles of respect if honestly followed could potentially
lead millions to better lives, but we as humans are still stupid. We still
haven't learned what we are doing, only when the last principle of Iroquois
culture dies will we realize what we have done to our children's children
and our ancestors.
What will we have done?
