We Are The Or Else!

Greetings Relatives,

On December 21 it was 12 years since my mother Wauneta Lonewolf has transitioned. If you have had a loved one that has returned to God you will understand that at times it feels like years and sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday. It’s something that you’ll never be truly healed from. Especially when all you desire is their presence.

Ever since 10.10.15 I have been traveling and nurturing the Black-Brown- Red relationship the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and I established during the mobilization for the 20th Anniversary of the Million Man March.

In Detroit there is a collective of beautiful young people in the Latino and Native community who are taking action on the injustices affecting their community from urban farming to a community center that teaches young people robotics and entrepreneurship.

In Oklahoma there is a Native hip hop artist by the name of Quese who invited me and Student Minister Robert Muhammad, Nation of Islam Southwest Student Regional Minister, to visit his home tribes of the Pawnee and the Seminole Nations.

In Oklahoma there are 39 tribes in the entire state. They are dealing with the injustices of being isolated and not having a large enough megaphone to be recognized.

Hector Pacheo of the Harmony Keepers is a member of the Latino and Natives for Justice Committee headed by Student Minister Abel Muhammad and myself. Hector has been traveling from coast to coast hosting events to teach those in urban communities on how to bring unity within the community— which is also a workshop we will host during Saviours’ Day 2016.

There is a huge need to bring unity and demand justice within the Original Family. A group of young indigenous sisters in Canada is working on trying to bring me there to learn and to listen to the stories of families that have suffered missing and murdered indigenous women.

One thing our common enemy has done is separate our cry for justice. We must unite our cry to stop the pollution of our land. We must unite our cry to stop killing our Black people! We must unite our cry to stop the mistreatment of immigrants and their children! We must be the “Or Else!”

Looking at the presidential candidates is putting us in a place of loss of hope and they want us to be in this place of no hope so we can put our last bit of faith into them. We can’t allow that to happen. We must put our faith in God and put our hope in ourselves that it’s not too late to be the change.

We are living in a world where we must unite or we will die.

As we go into 2016, developing marriage- like relationships with our universal family is key to our salvation. We must learn from each other. We must be people of our word. We must be doers and not just talkers. We must be the “Or else”!

I’m looking forward to 2016 because I believe it’s the year we will see change!

Mitakoye Oyasin—All My Relations.
