Tantoo, thank you for this video. There has been so much destruction, it is good to hear about the healing. I don't know if you still need healing and wholeness, but if you do, I hope you will find it. It is also good to hear of relationships to the Creator being restored, in the First Nations communities.
I wish you good health, healing, and peace.
David

Thank you, Tantoo. I have always connected with you, both spiritually and physically. I lost my only and one sister many years ago and always felt alone. I don't feel alone anymore because, now i have you and thank you.
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING OUR HARMONY ALIVE...

Thank you Tantoo for being open about the rage you have felt. I have it too. My family was destroyed before I was born. 'White washing" I would love to show you the photo i have of my Shawnee great great grandmother. You can plainly see how broken and terrified she was in life. My grandfather so ashamed to be Shawnee he wore a tie everywhere and became the Christian. His mother from a nursing home in Cleveland gave me what little I have of her people. She hated everyone and was a survivor of 1880s polio epidemic that swept through the Native people here. I never new my father's mother she died in a mental institution in 1952.I have been told she may be Seneca. All I know was she was brown. The hell they lived in.Because my family's Christianity and fear of Satan i was cast out on to the streets at 14. I thank the Creator for the Mescalero Apache People who saved my life and my Potowatomi cousins who taught me my Woodland heritage. I owe them everything. Thank you again for bringing the rage into the light. I really needed that.
Thank you for what you believe in Tantoo. You are a great voice but this is not the only reason you're living. You're also living so that you can share your love with all of us.
