“When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
― Wendell Berry,
To help the first nation peoples of Canada, NOW!

I am from six nation of the grand river
I hear the music the other day of Robbie Robertson whom I have always admired as a man and song writer, he had found his way back home to his roots. I hear the music of this man and it talks to me. We speak in class of was to heal and how to heal, we need to heal. We speak of our past, we speak of our elders, and we know what we must do. We go here to this school The Native Education College in Vancouver we learn, we open our eyes to the true.
I watch the news and see the government that say they will help, they say they are helping? are they. I see they are pointing fingers at each other and at us. At school we are women all in our class we say this is a sign for us to be stronger and stand tall, we are the mothers of the children that well follow or paths we make, we speak of ways to help. Now I look to Robbie Robertson as I sit here and hear his voice, I know he can help, he has the power we haven't inherited as yet, we have the knowledge we have the voices to help the people. our people, First nation people of Canada all of Canada. We are many nations we are the first people of this land. I ask Mr. Robertson to hear what we have to proposed to help our mother earth and her people, if you will do us the honer to hear what we have. To have a song that is of the people, written by the people, for the people. We have the female voice here. We have the words that we would like to share. My name is Glenda L. Hill Sr, I am 49 years young, My class and I that are all female have discussed this in depth and would like to speak with you on the proposal of your help, with all proceeds going where it will be needed the most for our people. We lived in a sustainable nation before the western man arrived, we didn’t need his help then, we do not want his help now. We need to take back what is ours, peacefully and together.
Thank you Glenda L. Hill Sr

I read the news, I drop a tear....
As all crisis in this world we will go about our life’s and forget about today and yesterday, we are comfortable in our homes, its Christmas we’re busy. We have family’s and friends, we are ok for now.
As the days go by there will be other crises and they will pass to. We will look the other way, will the crises get solved? Some will and others will not. The ones that will not will just be pushed to the back burner as they always do until some one dies or some one takes notice and cares enough to do some thing again. So Why do we wait until then? lets do it now, why wait until next year or until a child dies or some one freezes to death, we can stop this now. We must stand and take action peacefully, we are the caregivers of this land this is our responsibility as first nation people to keep care of our people our brother and sisters. This is our way of life to respect, honer, share and love all we have and have been given by the creator, please lets start to do just what we need to, we can stand together and be strong, we can, we will, in unity we will and have since the settler had landed here, we have stayed alive and we will continue to thrive, We as the first nation people of this land are sustainable we will go on.

take a look, take action..
If you know what the problem is and you know how to fix the problem do you need the government of Canada’s approval to help the first nations people that have the problem? NO you do not, so to the builders and contractors out there with the proposals for the work that needs to be done lets do it, we can get the funding and donation’s needed without our Canadian governments help, you know we can…I’M in, any one in the stand to help our people give me your ideas, lets stand together and do this, NOW.
