Mixed Blood teachings

[Thanks to Caro for sharing this]

Mixed blood, why do you wonder where you belong?
You have entered the world a child of many races
Giving the peoples of the world a chance to see itself as one, through you.
But you, you have given the Indian people a special gift.

Because you were born with the right to choose any path,
And you choose to pray in the way of our old ones
You honour this land where you were born,
And your prayers give strength to all of your relatives here.

The Grandfathers and Grandmothers are happy that you speak to them,
And we are happy when you remember us
Among all of the Spirits that walk with you,
And we listen to your special prayers for peace and a good life.

Be patient with your Red relatives.
They too grew up in a racist society, and
It is hard for some to find Spirit when they only see faces.
They forget that some of the Grandmothers and Grandfathers were hidden and
forgotten.

Mixed blood, when you walk the way of the people,
You show them that you have not forgotten.

Help them to let go of the shame, help them to remember the teachings
Of the time that was to come, when all of the races came together as one.
It is said that a Nation of Rainbow Warriors would come
And lead the way for Mother Earth to heal from near destruction

Mixed blood, why do you wonder where you belong?
