Anishinaabe Aadizokaanan : Our Teachings - Marie Eshkibok-Trudeau

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] hey bozo - nobody knows when Scooby's walk we're Macondo Deb neo midday that means I met my fourth level of that understanding in the midday lodge the day we launched my name is Marie ash kabak and I'm from with comic-con here the community lived here most of my life had to leave for a while go to school and I would like to share a little bit today about the sixth prophecy and those of you who have been listening to these prophecies over the years it's been mentioned by various people but in that sixth prophecy it talks about this this illness this that that's going to put people out of balance and it's going to change our lives and at this time when the earth is very still there's no trains no planes nothing's moving and we are asked to to be in solitude to be to stay at home - and we do that well those of you who have gone out too fast to sit on Mother Earth you you will know what that feeling is because when you sit upon Mother Earth you're you're in solitude and that's the way we are right now we're in solitude and it's at this time where many of us we connect with that level that fifth level of consciousness they call it it's the fifth level of your connection with the earth right now we're working the garden and for Willie and I were making that connection to the earth because the earth gives us sustenance gives us life and also some of us are going down by the water and you're making that connection with the water NAB a menudo and also making the connection with with the birds with with the animals upon the earth and so those of us who have received that training over the years you know who have gone all too fast every year you all know what it is to to to stay quiet you know to have that connection with within you just to give an example of that connection one morning I was praying with my tobacco and I was talking to the birds meegwetch for the beautiful singing that those songs in the morning that they sing around five six o'clock I saw two of them come to my window they just flew by my window and write that in there I knew I made it made a connection and over there in chicken we went to do a burial ceremony and again I was talking about the birds and making that connection and one of the people that were there said they heard the bird singing when I was talking and so it's like they're there they're connecting and the moon the moon teachings we were given those as grandmother's to to share with the people the moon we plant by the moon the move the moon is there's a new moon coming up this week and after that new moon hopefully we'll get some rain to to water our our soils to water them to moist make them moist so the moon you know in that original teaching the when Geminid o is to the no comas you look after this creation now you take care of it you renew it you you give it life and so that responsibility was given to us as as square to pray for that water and teach our young ones our children teach our grandchildren about the water take them down to the river to the lake in April after ice break up take them down there and have them rub that new water that fresh water that clean water that powerful water they say that's very powerful that water after Shikoku McClair goes on her her fast winter fast at first water and have and wash your hands if those of you who work with medicines put that water on your hands wash that we all have that third eye that ability to see ahead and to feel ahead and to know what's coming wash your third eye we all have that third eye wash your mouth if you're one that uses foul language wash your mouth ask the spirit to take away that foul language from you especially young people you know I know a lot of you are restless today a lot of you are angry today a lot of you don't know what to do with yourselves so take the time to do that for yourself you know wash your eyes put that with fresh water in your eyes because when you get to my age you might get a sickness called cataracts I don't have those yet but that's what elderly people get is cataracts so take care of your your your physical physical self and also your spirit self when you go and sit on Mother Earth when you go in renew yourself when you go and learn those teachings of patience you know when you look at a tree you you you learn patience from that tree because that tree is sitting there in one place it grows we grow it has life we have life and so that's how you learn that patients ask that tree to teach you what patience is and to feel it and to know it because a lot of us don't know it we have a hard time with patience you want everything right away and your first bundle is given to you when you bring life into this world as a woman so teacher your children give them their first bundle this is a feast bowl that we use in our lodges it's just a plain wooden bowl give that to your children as their first bundle when we put our young new women of too fast that's the first thing they get is that bundle and they hang on to that for a whole year while they're on their cycle that way they'll know who there are who they are as as a quest wear that skirt don't be afraid to put that skirt on the spirit recognizes you as square when you wear that skirt and as you get older we have a responsibility to pray to sing and to talk for that water and the head one is that that the head one of no baby the DOE is that there's a head one out there he's not coming into my mind I'm probably not meant to say it but begin to to work with that solitude because that illness that's here it was prophesied that that's coming there there's a bad I call it a bad spirit that that illness and our people have gone through a lot of that in the past there was the early 1900s when we had the Spanish flu our people went through that there's also the smallpox our people went through that and now we have SARS that came now we have this covet 19 and it's taking a lot of people I have a friend in Navajo land in Window Rock Arizona and they're there they're getting it hard there's over a hundred people that have died in their community and a thousand people have it so I encourage you to to stay home and to do social distancing don't give our security people a hard time over there you know because they're trying to keep us safe that's what it is they want to keep us safe and and just try to practice what our ancestors left for us and and it's all there in our in our lodges and right now some of you may you may know how to meditate okay do that by yourselves talk to the spirit talk to the animals make that connection right now I'm trying to make the connection with the bear because I have grandchildren living here with me and a bear has been up here every year but I haven't seen him yet so I'm asking him not to come too close to my house because I have little little ones here make that connection talk to them because that that's that's who we are as a nation obey we have that spirit within us nourish your spirit this is the time to do it nourish add that spirit by talking to the animals by talking to Geminid or in the mornings do that every day if you can and you will have that solitude you may have not gone out there and fasted in in the bush and it's one of the most powerful things for our young men to do is to go out there and sit with Mother Earth and learn about that respect when that Sun comes up in the morning you feel the warmth of that Sun and and then you have you have great respect for everything that that's been given to us don't throw your cigarette butts on the ground a lot of these things you you can start doing it's within yourself and I especially want to I guess talk to the younger people of this community because I know that your mind some of your minds are racing right now you want to go here you want to go there you want to do something find some kind of hobby to keep you busy if it's gardening that's the time to make that connection and you plant your food because our ancestors who have gone on they warned us that something is coming and those of us who paid attention to that you know we know that it's here now get ready for the winter because we don't know what the winter is gonna bring get that firewood get yourselves a wood stove make an oven outside that's my pride next project is to make an oven outside new there's a song I sing in the morning that that helps me to look ahead [Music] nidana know beyond you sing that song you're talking to the spirit that song will help you to look ahead and and I encourage you to do that for yourselves don't look back there because back there is darkness right now back there is darkness and and I really really feel that that something bigger is coming and don't let fear take over your mind this disco vat19 that's what it's doing to a lot of us it's creating fear within our mind and and when you carry fear you're living in a negative state of mind pick up your sama pick up pick up your tobacco talk to the spirit top talked to Gemma Nadal to take that fear away because that's the first thing that comes when you die is that fear and it's darkness comes when no one lights that sacred fire for you when you pass so respect that fire respect the water and respect all of creation you know it's go and learn what that is because when we pass away you can take that with you you can take respect with you you can take patience with you but you can't take your fancy both your fancy car your fancy ski-doo you can't take those things with you because those are physical things and that covet 19 carries fear it's what it's bringing to us it's a negative it's a very very it's a strong negative spirit that covet 19 and affecting a lot of people it's affecting it's giving people heart attacks it's giving people strokes it's it's even making people sick that's how strong it is it can make you sick the more that you think about it it's going to make you sick so take the time then to to learn what our ancestors left for us there's not many people who carry these teachings today I learned from those who have gone on I learned from my parents I learned how to plant from my parents and I still carry that survival skill and I'm teaching my my grandkids right now how to how to do these things for their own survival I could go on and on and on because I have carry many teachings so I'll share that little bit with you today know how we witch [Applause] [Music]
