I agree it is time to stand up. It is time for Native people to say we were here first and therefore we will reclaim the lead. We will gather all our brothers and sisters of all the human race, and start by making sure that everyone in our country is treated fairly. We will make sure that no one of any race goes hungry, no one of any race is without shelter or human rights. We are capable of doing this because we were here first and we are the rightful descendents of the first peoples. People will acknowledge our right to do this.

I believe it is also time for us to say; I will be an ambassador if I can and help other countries who are suffering and also have displaced indigenous tribal people, such as the Laplanders of Europe, the Pygmies of South America, the Aborigines of Australia. These people are at this moment being discriminated against and treated in much the same way that the Native Americans were in the 1900's, and are losing their lands and rights.

When/if Native Americans take the lead they will be accepted as leaders. All the people of America and the World need the leadership/moral support and knowledge that only Native people can truly provide, maybe some don't realize it but they hunger for the wisdom and selfless spirituality of the original people. I believe the survival of everyone depends on getting back to the original values of the first people.

Also I believe it is time for Native Americans to be looked up to and respected, and if you choose to help others, even after all the bad things that have happened to you and your peoples in the past, even if you have poor and need help yourself, then there will be no one who will not adore you or look to you as the true parents of this country. You will gain political footholds in this country, because all of the people will want you to be there.

I have a idea of how to go about this, at least in one way, if anyone is interested feel free to write to me.
