I recently put out another “spirit feast” for this next yearly cycle of life existence. I go out to these mountains and bring medicines, tobacco offerings, spirit food and I sing to the spirit of Mother Earth. I offer these blessings to the ancestors and give thanks to the Creator. I think of those in our world that are struggling and that are suffering and I think and pray for them and their loved ones. It is good medicine to do so.
Others have done this for me and it is a responsibility to carry on these teachings. My family is strong with regard to our cultural ways. I am blessed in this manner and feel honoured with such good teachers in my family bloodline. Being Anishanabe is so beautiful. I am proud of who I am and proud of my heritage. It is a profound experience to be so connected to who I am. Decolonization is a reality that seemed so far out of reach until I took action to change the path. I am a sovereign. My sovereignty as Anishanabe is perhaps the greatest truth I’ve ever known...it’s like finding your wings.
All my relations...MAJ
