Chi Miigwetch Sylvia. My spirit is happy to have found your channel.

Your relatives (white devil) made you'll beggars on your own land.

I would say coming from those that never served in the armed forces that abortion is also murder and a woman’s neglect to properly care for the imbalance she creates by murdering her child and her baby daddy’s child can never be viewed in a good way. Creator wants us to create not destroy. But so many Natives worship the devil and witchcraft nowadays, destruction is prevalent, therefore suicide seen as the only way out. We need alternative behaviors and to nurture our Native youth, help them be successful in life and prosper. Impoverished Reservations are not the ideal environments to do this in.

Chi miigwech for this wise and compassionate teaching.

I am 52 year old Talleyman, an Eastern Cree from Bay James, I have always wondered about the release of tobacco onto the main lake for a safe passage, I understood the concept of lighting sense or dropping tobacco to the ground for a blessed picking of fresh plants to be made by the one cultivating it. My late grandfather gathered his tobacco in a certain river bend on his trap line, we would paddle to it and he would smoke tobacco from the bow of the boat, said a prayer and blew his smoke leaning over the lake where the tobacco would be cultivated from. But when we travelled the big Mistissini Lake, from the narrows, he would grab a hand full of his tobacco and release it onto the lake for a safe passage without a word, I am assuming a silent prayer cause that’s I what I did when he would give me some to release, the lake was intimidating to cross and deserved its ultimate respect. Myself I have never smoked it from the pipe like he did but I know once it is cultivated and touched by man, once it becomes man made, it could be offered as an offering. But I can’t remember when he lit one for the big Lake? I have no intention to start lighting tobacco but I still carry a small bag when I understand the need to release some. I guess I am trying to remember my grandfathers way more now given the circumstances of my modern world now, I am easily distracted by it and thank you for your teachings!

I'm so grateful for your teachings 💛 thank you 💛

Our grade 8 Class loves your stories! Your voice is very calming and your stories soothe our souls:)

Wow, a real Native person. I was cringing as I expected to see another Ward Churchill or Elizabeth Warren type of "Native".

Thank you for this teaching. I am not Cree or native but I am a human and I benefit a lot from this.

Yes The Creator still speaks to His children

Do more videos on the First Nations. You have a very calming voice. Thankyou for the knowledge you shared.

Listened to this every winter.. I loved my Cree Ahenakew family

Everyone should try to follow these laws, the world would be such a different place. We'd all be alot happier with what we're given and wouldn't feel the need to take, or turn our backs on those in need.

Beautiful sharing. Thank you

Many blessings to you, Sylvia. I hope you keep teaching

My grandmother was the last generation in my family to speak Cree but she only remembered a little from before she was sent to residential school. She has since passed and I hope to return to the old ways and learn to speak Cree, even if just a little. I don't even know how to smudge yet but hope to learn. Thank you for your teachings.

You are also a very gifted woman. Thank you for teaching us.

The part where you talk about when a child gets a name from the spirit world... is that the same thing as when a person gets their Indian name these days at a sweat or another ceremony ?

Hiy hiy!

Beautiful

Thank You for sharing..I was meant to see this because my you tube on my phone hasn't worked in the past 6 months.

That’s cool and all but have you ever heard of my best friend Jesus?

What does she mean by a 'print'? What is an example of a 'print'?

I've watched your videos and find the descriptions to be very similar to Anishinaabe teachings... And there are some similarities in these languages.

Your voice is like a healing salve for the soul. Chi-Miigwech.
