Tantoo Cardinal (Metis) is one of the most renowned Indigenous actors in the world.

Throughout her acting career Tantoo has done much to minimize the inaccuracies and stereotypical portrayals of Indigenous people that tend to infect mainstream media, bringing instead genuine warmth and understanding to her very human characters. The confines of acting in someone else’s story have lead Tantoo to take the courageous step of writing her own stories, and she has remembered what it was she wanted to do before acting just “came along”.

We watch and listen as Tantoo reads from a short story she has written. . It is moving, funny and passionate writing, and easily conjures the images, sounds, textures and flow of the story in the mind’s eye of the listener. It is visual storytelling.

Chief Theresa Spence shares with us on Make No Bones About It.

This is About Mother Earth!

This is About Mother Earth!

As Keeper of our Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, I would like to send out support for the efforts of Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapiskat First Nation, for giving of herself through fasting with prayers for the protection of Mother Earth.

Throughout history, there have been many Voices from different Nations trying to alert us of the prophecies that are now upon us. We are in a time of Great Urgency, especially since the animals have been showing their sacred color white to tell us we need to change the Path we are on.

The war in the Middle East over money, oil and power, in the name of Spirituality, has been affecting us for far too long. A Healing now needs to happen from that lesson. Those lessons now exist in those territories in the lack of animal and plant life, as well as the many orphans and childless parents.

Political decision makers throughout history have made decisions that have affected many People, lands and animal/plant life, the recent decision made to subject Mother Earth and take away any protection she had left, is a decision that affects all humanity.

This effort has to be understood the same light of our Peace work, which is “All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer”. This effort to protect Mother Earth is all Humanity’s responsibility, not just Aboriginal People. Every human being has had Ancestors in their lineage that understood their umbilical cord to the Earth, understanding the need to always protect and thank her. Therefore, all Humanity has to re-connect to their own Indigenous Roots of their lineage – to heal their connection and responsibility with Mother Earth and become a united voice.

In a Sacred Hoop Life, where there is no ending and no beginning!
