Very powerful song....

[arafel1964]

@flowerseva ; thank you

[TaMiSab]

Thank you all for your words. But we prefer to be called First Nations, rather than First Americans or Native Americans, for we are many nations, and we were here thousands of years before Turtle Island (now known as the North and South American continents) was ever called "America" or "the Americas." We PRE-DATE Americans. The first "Americans" were the Europeans who came to "colonize" people already more civilized than they were. We are the First People of this hemisphere.

@TaMiSab ; thanks for the comment. The reason I use the term ´Native Americans´ is because most of the people in other countries know immediately which group is mentioned. If I mention ´First Nations´ some think I talk about Africans. But I´ll use the term ´First Nations´ from now on and mention ´Native Americans´ and hopefully more people will learn to call the original people of America by their rightfull name. I´ll upload 2 docus about First Nations, before and after 1492, soon so stay tuned

This tribe shall be called the Warriors of the Rainbow, and shall put it`s faith in actions and not words"

@gavinmacmounsey - I think the Tribe you mention - the Warriors of the Rainbow - are members of the Baha'i Faith. The coming of the One Who brought these Teaching was announced on May 23, 1844. His Name is Baha'u'llah (1817-1892). Baha'is come from all races, nationalities, cultures and creeds. "And now our Minds are One." - Aho!
