Overview
IN THE ANCIENT TIMES OF AMERICA TO THE INVASION OF CHRISTOPHER
COLUMBUS IN 1492 THERE WAS NO INDIVIDUAL ON THE CONTINENT CALLING
THEMSELVES AN ABORIGINAL AMERICAN. AS WE SEE IN THE INDIGENOUS DIALECTS
OF ALL NATIONS REFER TO THEMSELVES AS “THE PEOPLE” , “THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE”,
“THE REAL PEOPLE”, AND SO FORTH. IN THE NUMIC DIALECT OF THE SHOSHONE
NATIVE AMERICANS THEY SAY “NEWE” WHICH TRANSLATES TO “ THE PEOPLE”, IN
THE PLAINS ALGONQUAIN DIALECT OF THE BLACKFOOT NATIVE AMERICANS THEY
1
REFER TO THEMSELVES AS “NIISITAPI” WHICH TRANSLATES TO THE “REAL PEOPLE.”
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THE AMERICAS HAVE NATIVAGATED ALL THE WATER
SOURCES FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE COLUMBUS IN PEACE AND CONFLICT
WITH A LEVEL OF SPIRITUAL ESSENCE THAT EXCEEDS REALITY. ACCORDING TO THE
COMPREHENSIVE ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE ON PAGE
374 THE WORD INDIGENOUS MEANS NATIVE COMING FROM THE LATIN WORD
“INDIGENA” ALSO MEANING NATIVE FROM THE ROOT WORD INDIGENE.
ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY , THE ENGLISH WORD
INDIGENOUS IS AN ADJECTIVE MEANING: ORIGINATING OR GROWING OR LIVING IN
AN AREA OR ENVIRONMENT. FROM THE LATIN TERM INDIGENA, BOTH MEANING
NATIVE, AS “GEN” MEANING TO GIVE BIRTH, BEGET, WITH DERIVATIVES REFERRING
TO ASPECTS AND RESULTS OR PROCREATION AND TO FAMILIAL AND TRIBAL
GROUPS. INDIGENOUS SCIENCE IS THE EQUIVALENT OF INDIGENOUS SPIRITUALITY.
AS WE LIVE OFF THE LAND AND HAD NO WRITTEN SCRIPTS TO OUR LANGUAGE
UNTIL AROUND THE 17TH CENTURY. THE FIRST BIBLE ON AMERICAN SOIL TO BE
PRINTED WAS THE BIBLE ENTITLED THE JOHN ELIOT BIBLE WHICH WAS WRITTEN
AND TRANSLATED INTO THE ALGONQUIAN DIALECT OF THE MASSACHUSETT
NATIVE AMERICANS IN 1661. THE ANIYUNWIYA WHO NOW ARE REFERRED TO AS
THE CHEROKEE NATIVE AMERICANS HAVE A BIBLE , NEW TESTAMENT , FOUR
GOSPELS BOOK WRITTEN IN THE SEQUOYAH SCRIPT FROM 1860, AS WELL AS THE
CHA’TA OR CHOCTAW NATIVE AMERICANS WITH A TORAH OR FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF
MOSES FROM THE YEAR 1867 WRITTEN IN THEIR WESTERN MUSKOGEAN
LANGUAGE. ALASKAN NATIVES WHO ARE KNOWN AS THE INUIT DON’T USE CERTAIN
WORDS IN THEIR DIALECTS ON CERTAIN PARTS OF ARCTIC LAND AS CERTAIN TONES
RESONATE WITH THE CREATOR AND NATURE IN A CERTAIN FASHION WITHIN
CERTAIN TERRITORY. WHAT IS OUR LANGUAGE? OUR LANGUAGE IS NATURE. WE
ARE THE ONLY BEINGS AS CLOSE TO NATURE AS WE ARE TO OURSELVES. AS
NATURE ITSELF IS A REALM OF CONSCIOUSNESS THE EXCEEDS REALITY. THERE ARE
NO RECORDS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR DIABETES IN PRE-COLONIAL TIMES, AS
ANY ILLNESS COULD BE CURED SOLELY WITH A PLANT. IN MODERN WESTERN
SOCIETY WE SEE A DISAPPOINTING NUMBER OF OVERDOSES AND ABUSE OF OVER
THE COUNTER MEDICINES , BUT AS INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WE UNDERSTAND THE
BALANCE IN CREATION. WE USE OUR ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PURITY OF OUR
BLOODLINE, LIVING IN A WAY TO POTENTIALLY GET CLOSER TO OUR CREATOR. AS
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT CUSTOMS AND BELIEFS THE ONE UNIVERSAL CONCEPT
THAT ALL INDIGNEOUS PEOPLES ABIDE BY IS THAT THE CREATOR PUT THE LAND
HERE FOR US ALL TO SUSTAIN. BEFORE COLUMBUS THERE WAS NO BORDERS.
THERE WAS NO TERRITORY OF OWNED LAND, THERE WAS NO TAXES. THE
INDIGENOUS LIVED OFF THE LAND THE CREATOR GAVE THEM AND CULTIVATED A
DIVINE LIFESTYLE OF PEACE. WE SEE THE CONSTANT TELL OF THE SLAVERY WITHIN
WHAT IS CALLED “THE FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES”. THE FIVE TRIBES WHICH TODAY IS
2
CALLED CHOCTAW, CHICKASAW, SEMINOLE, CREEK , AND CHEROKEE WERE THE
GROUPS WHO ENFORCED SLAVERY ON AFRICANS AND OTHER NATIVES IN THE
SOUTHERN REGION. THE TRIBES DON'T SPEAK FOR THE OTHER 500 PLUS NATIONS
WHO WERE HERE IN PEACE. THE MINORITY DOESN'T SPEAK FOR THE MAJORITY. WE
LIVE A LIFE OF ETERNAL BALANCE AND SOUND TO SHOW OUR FAITH AND PURITY
TO OUR CREATOR. WITHOUT INDIGENOUS SCIENCE THERE IS NO REALITY. THERE IS
NO CLARITY. FOR WE ARE FROM THE LAND AND WE ARE OF THE LAND. THE SOIL OF
TURTLE ISLAND IS THE SOIL OF THE ANOINTED. FOR THE PAST THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A BALANCE OF SOUND WITH THE DIALECTS OF
THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES THROUGH THE FORMS OF TRADE, PRAYER, CEREMONY,
AND LOVE. ATHABASCAN IS SPOKEN BY THE APACHE, AS ALGONQUIAN IS SPOKEN
BY THE CHIPPEWA, WITH THE YAMASSE SPEAKING MUSKOGEAN. BUT WITH ALL
DIFFERENT LANGUAGE GROUPS, THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF TURTLE ISLAND IS
SPIRITUALITY. THE DEFINITION OF SPIRITUALITY IS : THE QUALITY OF BEING
CONCERNED WITH THE HUMAN SPIRIT OR SOUL AS OPPOSED TO MATERIAL OR
PHYSICAL THINGS. THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY KNEW THAT FAITH WAS THEM
WILLING TO BE A SACRIFICE. EMBRACING THE CREATOR AS IS IN THEIR IMAGE.
HAVING FAITH IN SERENITY AND FAITH IN NATURE. NATURE IS THE SCIENCE,
NATURE IS THE BALANCE, AND NATURE FORMED THE REALM OF SPIRITUALITY.
EVEN SO FAR AS ONE OF THE OLDEST NAMES FOR THE LAND BEING CALLED
“TURTLE” ISLAND. AS EXPLAINED IN BLACKFOOT PHYSICS BY F. DAVID PEAT PAGE
NINE :” MANY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES REFER TO LIVING ON TURTLE ISLAND . THERE
ARE STORIES THAT A GIANT TURTLE ROSE OUT OF THE OCEAN AND ALLOWED THE
PLANTS, ANIMALS, BIRDS, AND PEOPLE TO LIVE ON ITS BACK. SOME PEOPLE
SUGGEST THAT FLORIDA AND BAJA CALIFORNIA ARE THE TURTLE’S BACK FLIPPERS
WITH LABRADOR AND ALASKA AS THE FRONT. WHILE I HAVE HEARD SOME NATIVE
PEOPLE ASSOCIATE TURTLE ISLAND WITH THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT,
OTHERS SUGGEST THAT BOTH THE AMERICAS ARE ONE LAND.
