<p>I have made a covenant with Wakantanka ...never to raise my arms in anger again. The trail ahs been a long one ...many winters have come and gone. But my 'word' has prevailed... Aho!</p>

<p>The word Warrior is something we had no idea about, it was something they put onto us. What they mean when apply it to Native Americans Nations is what they are and that is murderers, rapists, non-truth tellers, and thieves. We are nothing like that but rather we are lovers of life and community builders for a long line of generations.</p>

<p>I am the Chairman of over 100,000 Kawaiisu Citizens and my personal goal is to make love of each other interactive and full. We are in the eyes of our enemies defenseless because we are a loving and peaceful people. And that in American eyes is weak and something that can be capitalized on. The Unborn are our long awaited friends and we love them as much as life itself.</p>
<p>Noble is not a word I would use to define the Kawaiisu, The word to use is loving and caring as our Creator has taught us. As she laid her kind and loving hand upon a place called Koso a people appeared and she called them the Nochi (Kawaiisu). The name Kawaiisu is very bad and we never called ourselves that but now we are forced to do so because the Anthropologists call us that.</p>

<p>"For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another’s life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity." [this is attributed to Sitting Bull - but even if it is not his quote ...its sentiment is noble]</p>

<p>Thanksgiving is not a holiday but rather a reminder of who killed who and who took what. I was taught by my Elders that we acknowledge Thankstaking but without the Thanks part. We know the truth as most do now and there was no giving just taking. Over 1 million Kawaiisu have been killed and still counting. The Slavery years from 1850 through 1958 were very long and hard to forget but I remember them. We signed a Treaty with the Americans in 1849 and we never broke our word for peace with…</p>
<p>Thanksgiving is not a holiday but rather a reminder of who killed who and who took what. I was taught by my Elders that we acknowledge Thankstaking but without the Thanks part. We know the truth as most do now and there was no giving just taking. Over 1 million Kawaiisu have been killed and still counting. The Slavery years from 1850 through 1958 were very long and hard to forget but I remember them. We signed a Treaty with the Americans in 1849 and we never broke our word for peace with them. But on the other hand the Americans killed, raped, enslaved, took our children for sex slaves to never to be seen again. Not to mention the 1 million killed. What would Thanksgiving mean to you if this was your Nation. It is a nightmare for us and there is no way to define it. I guess we are still their timberniggers. </p>
