Felt laminated with viscose. Part 4

Jag - "Spar Like a Jaguar"

First Soap Felting Class

Lol, I was so incredibly nervous but it went well!  I had brought a bunch of stuff and enough kits for the people. I brought some samples of my work as well. 

It was a fantastic group of 5 ladies, I am the one in the face mask...

 The kit was a basic one of a stocking, soap, zip lock and wool.  I had also brought colors to decorate it with too.  I had basic white merino and some lovely grey Navajo Churro as the base of the kits.  One of the finished soaps is pictured.

I was so nervous and my daughter said I did ramble a tiny bit but was good so...  lol, I am glad I am home and can relax.  Phew! 

Indigenous and grass-roots groups challenge Brown's "Global Climate Acti...

Attu and Beyond

I was thinking about the one article that got sent about a possible free boat service to Attu and about our tribe in general. (in my last blog post)

They scattered us to the winds for a reason and we need to come together as a tribe again.  Unless you listen to the tribe and try to come together as a tribe then you do not speak for the tribe and can not decide for us!  This is common sense!

Yes, I am speaking about the 2 young woman who posted the article where they are willing to speak for us...   There is a reason they (u.s. govt) chose young ones who were not raped as children, who were not forced to forget their language and culture, who were (not) brutally stolen from their lands.  To them, it is the distant past and should be forgotten in this new modern era of "togetherness".  I say it was a war crime and it is still happening to us. 

I was called a racist because I call this a war crime and them war criminals.  A war criminal is someone who commits war crimes.  It is not a race, color or culture so is not "racist"...  It is a significant part of their "game" to twist truths around like this.  We know 100% racism is wrong but then they try to say we are the ones being racist when they are in no way related, one is a crime and one is hate...  What they are doing is called genocide.  Genocide is a war crime, hence they are war criminals.  They want us to believe they are not because the world if full of resources they want to exploit. 

It is happening, right now as we speak, to indigenous all over the world.   This is reality and Truth.  They want to pretend they are helping or whatever, but it is war crimes no matter what they call it or how they try to twist it around.

They want us to believe we can not have "modern" without them.  This is a huge lie.  there is a difference between western and modern.  Modern is a computer where "western" is polluted landfills of e-waste because they want us to buy a new one every few years!  We know if the indigenous were in charge, then the computers would upgrade easily and cheaply with little wasted.  that is truth as that is a main feature of our cultures!

We all know they tried to use us to build the logging road awhile back.  Pretending to care about us when in fact all they wanted was easy access to the resources.  I think it was called the "road to nowhere" or something like that.  It is them pretending to care about us to get things for themselves.  This is what they did,  of their own free will, yet point it out and be called all sorts of names!  We need to break free of their poisonous influence! 

I am guessing this free boat trip is more of the same.  I am guessing those who are stealing the fresh water/other resources from us also want to get it for free shipping as well so they make more profit.  We can not turn a blind eye to things like this.  What better way then to use the blight of the Attu tribe!!  No one would deny they have wronged us severely and this way they limit what they have to give us...  but it is not for them to choose, those lands belong 100% to us and us only! 

Together we can fight them.  As I told those 2 woman from the article, the world is with us!!!!  Everyone knows the prophecies about north and south uniting and the war criminal regime ends finally.  This is how we start, by uniting ourselves together!

I know it is terrifying to think of coming between them and our billions in resources, but we have no choice!  Those in Standing Rock should inspire us, coming together for a common goal.  We saw the phony ones there too, but the point is they were there, if forced to be fake, we are One.  Our main and first goal should be to become "Attu tribe" once again!!   They know 100% they wronged us and the world will be on our side so they try to keep us apart. 

Teaching our children it is racism to call them war criminals, that is it "negativity" to want to become a tribe and stop the harm against us, and that it is "hate" that drives us instead of love for our people!  ~this needs to end.

I rarely go to things sponsored by the war criminals so many think I do not even try.  I believe 100% in the indigenous so feel we need to first become a tribe again.  Know each other by sight, help each other and so on like a normal life would be for us...  I have tried a few times to gather us together for some project or other and never hear much. (at least until I say a white guy is using us then suddenly 30 woman wrote me to tell me off for suggesting such a thing...) but I will always be here.  I am ready and willing to help us become a tribe again. 

I believe we need to show our beauty to the world.  They are with us.  I know so many of us already feel the call Home.  To the rest that do not yet feel it, listen to your spirit and you will hear it.   Trust it!!

hugs,

Maria, daughter of Attu

Attu Alaska

It is amazing sometimes when you see unexpected things like this article about Attu and the descendants!  

Descendants And Feds Explore Possibility Of Continuing Trips To Attu Island

It starts off with

Descendants of Alaska's westernmost island want permanent access to their ancestral home.

"Access", are they kidding?  I do not want "access" but the whole area back!






And this part where they forget to mention leaving us to die at someone elses hands!

In the 1700s, the Russians colonized the community during the fur trade. Two hundred years later, the Japanese military arrived and took the Attuans as prisoners of war to Japan, where half of them died in captivity. After that, it was the U.S. government that sealed off the island and forbade survivors from returning home.

They did not "seal" it off as some war criminal forces were there the entire time until a decade ago or so...

Man, the fish and wildlife service "own" it, in their dreams!!!  they are just war criminals and nothing else!  They can pretend all they want but they are illegally here!

This whole time they have done nothing for the people and now pretend as if they "might" throw us a treat!

I wrote the 2 ladies saying we need to be bold and demand the whole refuge back as our own~ since it is!!  Lets hope they find some courage and write back to me!!



While the amerikkkans (europeans) are brutal and psychotic, they are in the wrong in every sense of the word: legally, morally, ethically,  intellectually and even spiritually!!  Justice is on our side and we will win!!!

#Attu  #unity #indigenous #decolonize #unangan#amerikkka

Genocide is genocide dear europeans and your offspring!!!!!

It never stops!!  Not only do they want to rape, murder, and steal all our "stuff" but they also want us to say it is "OKAY"...

It was never ok, it will never be ok!!!!!


Dear europeans and your offspring: It has always been genocide and it has not stopped to this day!

We know you try to pretend it stopped ages ago but you know and we know that is not true.  Just because you westerners agreed to pretend it stopped does not make it so! 

Everything about you is a lie!

fake
phony
delusional
psychotic
psychopathic


these words all can describe you, though you pretend it does not touch you...  Please stop this farce, it fools no one but yourselves.  Using little words so you understand:  it makes you not only look foolish but become fools!  It is like you pretended to be stupid all these generations that it is now a permanent condition that you chose for yourself.

The only thing that has changed between "then" and now" is we will no longer
 allow your fantasy world to continue.

You must face reality for once!  it is horrific and you say it is cruel to make you face it but it is by your own hands it happens.  You can not pretend


there is some white guy in Alaska desperate to continue the farce: 
Charles Wohlforth

He is like a pre-schooler who has learned "1, 2, and 3" and now thinks they can read and understand college level material.  He does not understand that these are numbers and not the alphabet.  But just as sure as he has memorized the times table up to 10 and feels omnipotent, it does not mean he can read a book!!!

He glides over her tale of the genocide of her village as if it is nothing!  Well, to him it is, all these europeans and their offspring have nothing inside them so believe that no one does...  they are wrong.  They once had it but threw it away by their own choice.  Now they try to take that choice away from everyone else in the world!

Yes, in the world, they have spread everywhere!  A disgusting slime trying to drown the world!  It never works though!  Just because they have memorized the times table up to 10 does not mean they understand "math" any more then they understand letters, words, sentences and languages! 

they try to pretend that words, books, thoughts are nothing because they can barely conceive of it themselves...

In this one they pretend that stealing our culture away from us then teaching it back to us makes them our heroes!


It is called "malignant hero syndrome" and so many of them have it.  They desperately want to be a hero that they willingly allow something to be harmed so they can jump in to "rescue" them... 

Then he tries to pretend it is the #indigenous who are trying to rewrite history!!!
 he says:

A generation ago, Alaska's mostly white pioneers and missionaries were heroes of its development story.

but fails to mention only in their own minds!!!  so many of them say "nothing was here" before they came...  we were here!  and we will be here long after they are dog poo scrapped off our shoe! 



He is trying to make it ok that it happened and that it continues to this day!  the farce of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, where instead of "giving" us our own lands they gave us corporations they could take over!!  Ask them how the govt had money ready to buy the land back so quickly when it usually is a lengthy process. 

They rape billions of dollars a year of our resources and they is why this jerk is so desperate to convince people it is "complex" instead of genocide!!!


He does not fool us!  Do not let him fool you dear genocidal europeans and your offspring!  It is past time to call your kin back home.  the shame of them will never wash off.  but it needs to start now!  No more pretending!  We will no longer allow it!!



It is for the billions of dollars only, do not be fooled!!

In A Good Place

Hi all,

I hope this finds you happy and healthy!  Here, I am in a very good place!  It has been a long while since I felt like this so I am cherishing it. 

I feel that even with all the crazy and ugly happening in the world, it is a good place and I am happy!  I am not hiding from all the bad things, mind, just not letting them ruin my spirit!

Oh man, we tried to film my doll prank idea from a few yeas ago now.  But things change and the house does not look like this anymore so we will need to refilm it all from scratch.  This was the idea of creating a fake "haunted doll" and selling it on ebay (with it known it is a prank one) as a fundraiser  :p

It is hard to tell here, but the under eye area has eyeshadow more then the eye lids...  think it was purple mascara and I forgot to change into the purple eyeglasses for the scenes...  But this might be from practicing the scene too and that is why I am wearing the wrong glasses...  yeah, lets go with that!  :p

 I am super excited!!  I am teaching my first felting class!!  They know i am self taught and know I am a beginner but still want to learn, so excited!!  I ordered some churro to use and some soaps from another Alaskan indigenous woman because we need to support each other!  It is a closed class, specifically for the tribal doctor people but it is a start.  I bought some zip lock bags, couple things of nylon knee highs and have fibers and stuff to bring to decorate if they like...

It is a free class, I did say to bring their own soaps but in case they forgot I will provide these one.

I sent her a note to include cards to pass out so they can find her again.  I wanted to get into soap making but had so many things I wanted to try that it got set aside as I delved into the fiber arts.

It makes me happy that I can teach a bit of what I know.  I decided on soaps since it is easy and does not take long.  I cant wait until I can get a studio space and hold regular classes and share the tools I have because it is soooooooooo expensive to gather them all!   I figure we can do a simple barter thing, where if they are already skilled they can make 2 and I get to keep/sell the second one or something like that...  or where they can do prep works to help earn the fibers though I am not out to exploit or get rich off of my peoples! 

To my way of thinking, they are most likely more creative then me so I can get them into making the stuff and when I make my films I will have people to make the costumes with me!  hehe, yes, still planning the films...  gets put off but not forgotten! 

One strange thing is how so much has changed since I first wrote the screen plays for them.  Some of the locations are gone, the businesses are gone and I will need to rewrite them once we are doing them to fit what new locations we find. 

Why wasnt I born rich?  lol, would rule the world by now!  ok, so not quite that much but would definitely be able to do all the things I dream of!  What I need is an indigenous with too much money and bored who wants to be there and watch someone else create magic!!  if ya knows anybody like that...  :p

Well, my good mood is hopefully contagious and you will leave with a smile!  I hope your day improves as your mood lifts!

hugs and loves,

PURPLE SOUP & GIVEAWAY!! | @avantgardevegan by Gaz Oakley

#EndBlackSilence

There is a deeply disturbing trend of #African people trying to claim they are the original and true #indigenous of these lands.

This dishonors the 100million++ indigenous who were murdered in the biggest genocide in history.

Dear Africans, I know you have suffered so much by other's hands but that does NOT excuse you coming here and doing it to us! 

• The indigenous of this half of the world never captured you from your villages...
• 
  
• The indigenous of this land never traded you as if you were not human beings but things to be used...  (ok, yes, 5 indigenous tribes out of the hundreds of thousands in this half of the world who were facing genocide did try to "adapt" to the war criminal eurpeans who brought you here... context= mass genocide)
• 
  
• The indigenous of this half of the world owe you NOTHING but friendship and respect...

We need #unity but it must be based in reality and in Truth! 

So much hatred toward us by African descendants that we do not deserve and that is part of the ongoing genocide against us! 

You know the seeming insurmountable odds we face against the psychotic europeans so greedy for our stuff, that all the peoples of the world must #unite to stop them!

Find all the people who spread the lies of Africans being the real #indigenous of these lands and explain what "genocide" means and why it is wrong! 

I know so much pain in your history, I know!  But remember it was not us who harmed you!  We must face the facts that some African descendants do not want to return home and want to steal our stuff along with the war criminal europeans. 


Pages like this one actively harm the indigenous. 


You need to step up and make them see Truth and reality!  Genocide is wrong!

Eurasier Puppy Wanted

I have decided I would love to have an eurasier puppy as my new companion!  I had wanted an Akita but then my daughter who lives with me decided she would like a dog as well, so we needed to find one like an akita but could have 2 of in the same house.

The AKC page about the breed makes it sound like an ideal dog for me. 



 This color is called "wolf grey"

But I think I want one more this coloing:

or more a combo of the mostly black with white:

I love this sort of face:

that shape reminds me of werewolf look and you know I plan on making a werewolf movie.  It would be cool to have a puppy that looks so pretty!

I have an application in with Edelweiss Eurasiers and hopefully get approved and they have the dark ones available!

I have that pic of the dark puppies as my desktop and hope I hear soon from her!  I think we are a good fit for 1 or 2!

It is a nice breed so if you are wondering ht kind of dog and want a companion one who is medium sized try these!  they had no puppies listed on the AKC site though, so I guess they do not breed them often...
