Braiding Roots

We cannot Belong to this Land without coming into relationship with the Original People of this Land. We cannot root into this Place without braiding our Celtic roots with the Land and the People who have been in relationship with this Land since time immemorial.

There is no healing for us here without learning from Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers willing to share their teachings with Settlers. Why relearn thousands and thousands of years of Belonging to this Land, when we can come into loving relationship with the First Nations and be taught by them instead?

Our Celtic Ancestors were People of the Land and they demand of us respect and loving relationship with the Original People of this Land. Becoming an Honourable descendant of Celtic Ancestors demands coming into respectful and honourable relationship with the Land that sustains us and the People who belong to the Land.

Below is the official embed from Spotify. I screen recorded the one to the left because I wanted to include the lyrics.

Please follow and support MR. SAUGA and BIGG NEPH whereever you are on the socials.

Now I can sing “The Ancestors telling me I got worth.” without crying - most days.

Lol! It’s a process.

• Please identify the Nation, Lands + Treaties of the Land on which you live.

• Ho'oponopono (Ho Oh Pono Pono) - Hawaiian Forgiveness and Reconciliation Meditation. I recommend coming into relationship with Indigenous Spiritual practice only after you have re-connected to your own Ancestral roots, Cultural and Spiritual ground.

The Tapping Solution app added a Daily Guidance card deck that will randomly choose a Tapping sequence for you.

This seems entirely appropriate. :D

Indigenous TikTok Creators:

I joined TikTok to follow “Native Reacts” from YouTube, and my first follows were all Indigenous. In no particular order:

• Ira Timothy

• Bogs - Native Plants + Indigenous Science

• 7th Fire Messenger

• Yllwhrse Blackfoot

• James Jones

• the_landk

• Crystal Semagamis (Pretendian Hunter)

• Brando (The Language)

• Chris Yellowbird

• Che Jim - (for the lols)

• Uncle Salty - (more lols)

• Notorious Raven

All of these Creators have added to my knowledge and encouraged further education. This is a start. You will be guided to teachings that resonate with your own Spiritual Path and Place.

Truth and Reconciliation

I believe strongly that everyone who calls Mishiike Minisi (Turtle Island, North America) home, is required to learn about the true history of Colonization and the creation of our current socio-political nation states. We weren’t taught the true history of our countries or the actual treatment of the Original Peoples. The least we can do is learn the truth.

These courses were fundamental and transformational learning for me. Professor Wille Ermine, in 4 Seasons of Reconciliation suggested that Settlers reconnect to our roots and connect to our own language and culture - so I did and it changed my life.
