To celebrate Native American Heritage Month we turn to the wisdom of Oren Lyons. Watch, share and check out the second part of this series.
About: The history of the nations indigenous to North America and the burgeoning United States is one that is widely unknown. In order to uncover the entangled roots of the colonial settlers and the First Peoples of this land, Children of the Setting Sun convened indigenous knowledge keepers to speak on the subject.
The stories that emerged reveal indigenous values, beliefs and lifeways as they were pre-contact and as they are today. We begin with Oren Lyons, a Faithkeeper for the Onondaga Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy located in modern day upstate New York.
Assigned by his elders to go out into the world to fight for the rights of his people, Oren has taken his teachings all the way to the United Nations, where he was pivotal in the creation of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People’s (UNDRIP).
In revealing the traditions of his people, Oren emphasizes the need to know the history in order to understand the current terms of a nation-to nation relationship as described by their treaty with the US government.
Filmed in the Council Chambers of the Lummi Nation.
Featuring original music by the Antone George Family and the Blackhawk Singers.

Thank you for remembering and teaching. I am grateful for the love and protection of the Spirits of the People and the Land during a difficult time as a very young child, living on a farm at Youngstown, NY, near Fort Niagra. I hope to learn more and pray for the peace, truth, love and healing for all People and our mother Earth. ❤🙏

My wish is that the white race can come to find this humility and respect. I have been blessed to follow the ways of the Native American Tradition.... respect for self and others is key. Thank you Blessed Wolf man who carries the teachings of honour towards the Clan Mothers..... our fall is nigh and has to be that Way until the Light grows stronger and the winds of change blow across our dear Gaia. Blessings and Love to All 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤

To live in the Onondaga region, with so much indigenous culture is humbling, and makes me understand the historical pride , prominence, and importance of these great people. The Onondaga should be a point of pride for those who care about democracy, and fighting to preserve cultural values.

I am sure I lose my way. Hourly,daily,monthly,yearly. I live in Europe, Greece where the ancestors left us with a great legacy of wisdom. I resonate with the way of the Indigenous tribes. Whenever I listen to Oren speaking I always remember not forget to lose my way permanently. The struggle is neverending.

I cannot express to YOU & YOUR PPL how much I love & I respect you forever & ever. My ancestor was adopted in in the 1730’s to the biggest oldest tribe by the warrior chief & cared for an young boy attacked by bear who later became a Great Chief, among other things. I am so ashamed of the white men who brought us to this day.
