“We beg for your forgiveness”: Veterans join Native elders in celebration ceremony (Video)
Wes Clark Jr. was among the veterans celebrating the DAPL news and asking forgiveness
Jean says: I had hoped to write an article and help connect the dots for people about how important the worldview of the indigenous is: they know the way through this. At the moment, however, I can’t stay online long enough to do so. Not only have the Russians been demonized, but the indigenous have, as well. Actually, far worse than demonization, they also have been genocided, and it’s all been done by law, a law that I believe is still in effect. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall, working with President Thomas Jefferson, used Papal Bull 1452 to legally continue this genocide. What we know of these people today has nothing to do with what they were and how they lived when we arrived here in conquest of their lands. The brutally with which we exterminated them is unbelievable and shameful. (I have read about it in their own words and in the words of the priests who watched this happen as well as those who did the exterminating.From The Heart: Voices of the American Indian: Lee Miller . In other words, there hasn’t been any MSM interpretation! It has been and continues to be a totally inhuman, depraved effort. It’s been quite a journey for me to understand all this. . .
Let me now suggest that you all take some responsibility to understand not only how they have been demonized, but the what and why of how it has been done oh-so-deliberately ever since our invasion of their lands.
The article I published by Paul Levy is clear about the healthy attitude of the indigenous toward life as opposed to those who would rule us. (Paul has another article today: ARE WE HUMANS TERMINALLY INSANE OR JUST WAKING UP?) I think this book is in story form, the way the indigenous ‘teach’
I believe it is an attitude we must come to understand before we can effectively work to bring down this cabal. Another wonderful new book by Kent Nerburn will help you to do this: Voices in the Stones: Life Lessons from the Native Way: Kent …
“We beg for your forgiveness”: Veterans join Native elders in celebration ceremony

Wes
Clark Jr., the son of retired U.S. Army general and former supreme
commander at NATO Wesley Clark Sr., was part of a group of veterans at
Standing Rock one day after the Army Corps announcement. The veterans
joined Native American tribal elders in a ceremony celebrating the
Dakota Access Pipeline easement denial.
Lakota spiritual leader and medicine man Chief Leonard Crow Dog and Standing Rock Sioux spokeswoman Phyllis Young were among several Native elders who spoke, thanking the veterans for standing in solidarity during the protests.
Clark got into formation by rank, with his veterans, and knelt before the elders asking for their forgiveness for the long brutal history between the United States and Native Americans: “Many of us, me particularly, are from the units that have hurt you over the many years. We came. We fought you. We took your land. We signed treaties that we broke. We stole minerals from your sacred hills. We blasted the faces of our presidents onto your sacred mountain. When we took still more land and then we took your children and then we tried to make your language and we tried to eliminate your language that God gave you, and the Creator gave you. We didn’t respect you, we polluted your Earth, we’ve hurt you in so many ways but we’ve come to say that we are sorry. We are at your service and we beg for your forgiveness.”
Chief Leonard Crow Dog offered forgiveness and urged for world peace: “We do not own the land, the land owns us.”
Despite the positive news, there is more work to do. “The black snake has never stopped and if they didn’t stop at desecrating our graves of our ancestors, they’ll stop at nothing.” Young said. “So there will be a motion filed by the Energy Transfer today to continue the pipeline … We are a peaceful movement, but we may have to make a move to protect our territory.”....
