Happy Winter!

When and if I return to live radio again my show will change a bit. It will change from “Make No Bones About It -Quest for the Truth, to “Make No Bones About It -Time of the Human Being.” I have always been an Allie to both to the Peoples, and to our Mother the Earrh. That will never change. I am a human being first. Tired of all the fighting and lateral violence. We are all here to bring Unity to Earth. This radio program and my life has always been inspired by the Spirit of John Trudell. This quote stuck in my mind tonight …
“We must go beyond the arrogance of human rights. We must go beyond the ignorance of civil rights. We must step into the reality of natural rights because all of the natural world has a right to existence and we are only a small part of it. There can be no trade-off.” -John Trudell
Thinking about my dear Uncle Eddie too. “Time is running out. If we don’t do something now we’ve accepted what is their realism not our reality or our real truth, this might be the last generation as we know it. Get up and get going” -Eddie Little Crow
I invite you to Get up and get going. Uncle says “ Be kind, Be caring, Be loving, and help where help is needed. And it will be okay.” 2022 my prayer is to really change how we think. Time of victim is over and Time of Human being returns.
“ Human being rise up remember who you are.”-John Trudell

Remembering Joanne Shenandoah

You will be so missed. Prayers up for your journey and prayers to your family.

Rest in Power Uncle Hank Adams

Sad day in Indian country. Another great one heads home to the land of the ancestors. Thanks for everything Hank! You will be seriously missed! Prayers up to the family!

December 21, 2020
Winter Solstice
Been up with the many across our universe sending out prayers and messages of thanksgivings. As this year is rapidly coming to a close the question that comes into my thoughts are “ Are we all willing to work together through love and kindness to put a stop to whats coming and change the direction of our collective future.” We need to dig deeper for the truth if we all intend to survive. Ask yourself do you want to live as Creation intended or exist as the people in authority want us to. Quite frankly as slaves. Meaning only exist enough to fuel their systems of death. I pray everyday for liberation for us all of a system that truly does not give a shit whether we live or die. If 2020 did not open your eyes to what is really going on I am not sure what will. My continued prayers for us all on this journey. I pray to the holys everyday for their love, guidance, protection and continue clarity of stay in the prayer we got this. Much love to you all. Let us truly work together in 2021 so we all can live.
Waiting on an angel,
Raven Redbone
