As Indigenous people we are strong Nations and we will protect our Mother Earth at all costs.
We are Warriors and don't be fooled by that word because the English language misconstrues that word and it is hard for people to get the deeper meaning of what being a Warrior means to us as Indigenous peoples.

In the Mohawk language, Warrior translates to those who have the burden of peace.
As Indigenous people, we have a Sacred responsibility to protect our Mother Earth for the next 7 generations. We must put our lives on the line to stand up to those who are trying to destroy our Mother in the name of greed.
The English languages tries to use the word Warrior to instill fear in the public and sell our image as aggressive and almost like a terrorist. This is propaganda and used to portray us in a negative light, like these people have always done in order to attempt to destroy us as people, so they could steal our land and resources and subject us to inhumane treatment.
Sakej Ward, a wise and strong Warrior, explains that deep within our souls, we as Indigenous People have an ancestral knowing on what it means to be a Warrior. In these turbulent times, we must look within and call on this strength that we have and stand up to save our Sacred Earth. This is in our blood and it is who we are. We are a land based culture and our Sacred Earth means everything to us and gives us meaning in our lives.
We need allies here and please take a stand against this corruption. All colors all people together for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
If you don't snap out of the mind-control and living with such disregard for what sustain us, then you will suffer greatly and your selfishness and disregard for future generations will be how you will go down in history. Use your common sense and understand that we must look after our precious Earth instead of raping and desecrating the only home we have as Human Beings. It's so difficult to understand why people cannot grasp this simple concept. How can this be?
