no-chief is not lifelong position- if he doesnt carry out the elder womens advice- they "knock the horns off the chief" as they said-these clan grandmothers can reelect as they see fit- & their is no birth rights to chief position-they have to be nominated in by the grandmothers clans

[lmollot]

the power was the communal based womens longhouses clans- the teachers were the grandmothers by example-skills of self sufficiency- until natives return to this matriarchy clans-& let go of the isolated couple-based society-& one world of natives no borders= no wars

WHAT REZ ARE YOU FROM ongwehonweh

[nytk33p3r]

i agree with slidebargirl, all hating on this prophet! even if he has made a couple mistakes, he aint know way as bad as some i could name! destroying all life he's on about earth is not ours to pulute with shit...

hopi prophecies is very true, it's even in the bible code they ain't long left because we have forgot how love one another and lifes just run of greed.. this is just the beginning of spiritual warfare, people should start tappin in to there intuition!

the end is near......

[slidebargirl]

Ya know? With all due respect to all trashing this man. He is still, one of the most elloquent messengers/speakers of our time. So, the dirty landry you hang out is from your line and should be left at home. That War is for home. No need to get everyone all involved in the politics. He's not talking about that. He coninues to spread words that heal. And that's all that matters in the public eye,not your destuctive words,that gives nothing but a view into how stupid we look as a people.

much tobbaco 2 you

[crazycoyotie]

youre a good speker

[AdawehiMeliLayton]

I have learned alot from Iroquios people.Mostly about the Medicine Wheel.

One thing is for sure we as Native Peoples no matter Tribal Nation should stick together for the common purpose in life.

I learn many good things from all Tribal Nations and can see how we are more alike than different.

John Trudell says it best, Guard your Spirit because we are in the times when the Spirit gets eaten.

[6Nations4life]

Ongwehonweh do u have prof of what u are stating that he is a Seneca not a Onondaga.

Cody

Seneca Nation

[ongwehonweh]

He asked to be remove from Seneca rolls about 1962, documents at Seneca Nation, but have copy somewhere or can get more copies. Nat. Geographic Sept. 1987, pg 384 holding passport states he is Wolf clan not Turtle Clan like he claims. Can't adopt someone who is already in 5 nations. His brother Kingsley Lyons is another Seneca non-Onondaga thief claiming Onondaga title. If Oren is chief what title does he hold? Sorry to say this bastard is 2nd cousin.

[ongwehonweh]

This guy is full of $hit. Oral Liar, some call Oren Lyons he is Seneca not Onondaga. The Thiefs, some call chiefs at so-called Onondaga Nation sold the People out long time ago. Onondaga Nation became U.S. Federal corporation under U.S. Federal law to gain U.S. Federal recognition. All tribes/nations must incorporate to gain State or Federal recognition. Onondaga Thiefs called in New York State Troopers and Onondaga County Sheriff on the People. He is Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker, fraud.

[atonnion]

we native!!! mohawk

[cabomb]

Why is someone spamming the Oren Lyons' vids on youtube with the Bahai Faith...geeze don't be pushing your religion or church on anyone!

And yes these teachings were given to all humans, its to bad the messengers who are suppose to be delivering it or the receivers, get the teaching distorted and/or use for their own benefit.

If all races get back to their original teachings then yes they will realize this.

[SOxCALoc714]

the last part makes no sense at all.

[voiceofthegrandstand]

The teachings of Peace Maker have been revealed again in the teachings of Baha'u'llah, Founder of the Baha'i Faith. They have been given to, not just one, but the entire human race.

"The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, is unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established."

"Say: no man can attain his true station except through his justice. No power can exist except through unity. No welfare and no well-being can be attained except through consultation."

[voiceofthegrandstand]

The system revealed by Peace Maker has served as a model for the cooperation of nations for centuries. He said he would return at a time when it was needed again. It is needed again, on a scale that includes the whole planet.

continued...

[voiceofthegrandstand]

Peace Maker has returned. His new name is Baha'u'llah. He was born in Persia in 1817. His coming was announced on May 23, 1844, which resulted in the execution of thousands of people who arose in response. Baha'u'llah Himself was arrested, tortured, exiled and imprisoned for 40 years. During that time, before His passing in 1892, the Great Spirit gave Him hundreds of volumes of teachings for the peace and well-being of all the peoples of the earth as one family, now known as the Baha'i Faith.

[Somekid420]

Wrong.

[thickbrianq]

you are jacked up and brainwashed, the Spirit doesn't need "volumes" to get the message across, as a traditional Crow Indian Man I say you ought to be ashamed of yourself for trying to mislead people by claiming this lie, Karma is real wether we acknowledge it or not, spreading such l;ies like you are will get you nothing but confusion and lies told to you!! Shame on you anyway, whoever pooped in your cheerios pooped but good!!!

[daewoga]

This is important speach. I have been listening and respecting he´s words for last 20 years. And he is talking about the rihgt to speak and be heard.

He and the Indigionous people are right.

He has talken to many governmental leaders.

[indianboy1969]

proud to be seneca iroquois turtle clan, all hail the 6 nations and all native nations. to the 4 directions and the great spirit we worship you mother earth and father sky!!

[Funkyndn]

Total BS. Lying Oren at his best! What pricncipls do you have? Your not even Onondaga! I have seen your Hypocrisy first hand "faithlesskeeper". Your words are poison. For those who don't know Lying Oren is really Seneca. He had himself taken from the rolls and put on Onondaga rolls. This man belongs nowhere. It won't be long til the real turth has shown through, read between the lines people this man is Grade A professional Con Man. I am full Seneca residing on a reservation, I know Oren's EVIL.

[gvhnagewohali]

i dont know, so prove it to me.

[heartstar12]

Almost everyday I step outside my home near a large quiet hill forest of the Onondaga Nation, I remember their people have been here many times longer than my people, and I honor their continued presence, that their people remained here during times of terrible persecution and much disrespect, and so there are still FireKeepers as established by the Peacemaker. May it always be, and may all take to heart the wisdom and kindness he brought to all of us. eric christopherson

[desire4liberation]

[footballsteez]

Refreshing to hear an elder from the east speak. I am from Saskatchewan, I have read up on the Six Nations Confederacy and am glad to know that others are still paying attention to First Nations Peoples.
