Since the onset of colonization Indigenous women have experienced violence with reckless abandon, today it is a public health emergency. Traditionally, many of our Native societies are matrilineal but settler colonialism has disrupted our traditional value systems. These shifts have tragically contributed to the epidemic of violence we see committed against our women and Two Spirit relations. The issue is systemic and this episode discusses how we must hold systems and people accountable. Mary Kathryn Nagle (Cherokee) is a playwright and lawyer with Pipestem Law, a firm dedicated to legal advocacy for the safety of Native women and tribal sovereignty. She represents families of victims and has testified before Congress for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Her perspective on the legal issues regarding MMIW expounds how tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction is so important in combatting the crisis. She also explains how political participation and allyship is necessary to fight subversive systems which propagate violence. Abigail Echohawk (Pawnee) is Director of the Urban Indian Health Institute and a leader in the movement to bring visibility to MMIW through political advocacy work, data, and research. Her organization conducted a seminal report on the crisis to better understand the prevalence of the crisis which has harmed our relations for 500 years. This episode is raw, real, and heart wrenching. The crisis must be addressed and we need allies to join us in making it visible so we can all take action. We need to hold non-Natives upholding these systems accountable. Further, we need Natives to step into roles of political power to demand change. Every statistic represents a Native woman. We must honor and protect our sisters. No more stolen sisters. Links and Resources

A History of the Goddess: From the Ice Age to the Bible

Before the rise of monotheism, the early Hebrews were pagan and God had a wife, the Mother Goddess. The Bible tells the story of their divorce. Goddess worship promoted equality for women, social justice, spiritual connection to nature and the cycles of life, cannabis, sexual freedom, celebrated transgenders, and practiced abortions. When the Goddess was thrown out of the Hebrew temple by the monotheists, so too were all of these deeply ancient traditions. Many familiar Bible stories and characters are reinterpreted by showing where the Goddess appears and the Bible is reframed by comparing it to the mythologies of neighboring cultures.

"And so, one day, it shall be. The Pharaoh whose name is Netanyahu, in betraying the children of Israel, will have freed them. To free themselves.
Next year in Jerusalem, may the ruler, whoever they may be, be plagued by the following, the heritage of the Hebrews:
Equality - Shiv'yon
Compassion - Hemla
Lovingkindness - Chesed
Tolerance - Savlanut
Coexistence - Du-Kiyum
Seeing to the Needy - Gemilut Chasadim
Justice - Tzedek
Liberation - Shichrur
Freedom - Cherut
Ahavat Chinam
Next year in Jerusalem, may we be stricken with love of the migrant, of the stranger, of the other."
The Temple Mount
The place were God lives since times of old
Place of Temples and a Mosque.
Place were Jesus/Isa יֵשׁוּעַ
walked and prayed.
Believed there will be a new temple
when the messiah comes
But who will come save humanity
if we can not respect
what is most Holy
The Soul
The Holy Spirit
that gave us our souls
and said
not to take the breath of life from each other...
Who will come save us
When we kill prophets
and kill children
(who could be the messiah)
for a piece of land
While poisoning the Earth
Robbing the Earth of peace
Robbing the life's breath of Life.
Who will come save us
if not Love?
Relevant quote:
The New Testament recounts a story of a Samaritan woman asking Jesus about the appropriate place to worship, Jerusalem or the Samaritan holy place at Mount Gerizim, to which Jesus replies,
Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:21–24)
Generally I post pictures with my writing, this time most appropriate to have no picture.
"Following the Moroccan dark mother Tan-Tan c. 500,000-300,000 BCE, the Berekhat Ram female is the second oldest representational art figure to date. It measures 35 mm in length and was discovered between 1981-1982 CE at GolanHeights, in Israel. ⁠

As the Berekhat Ram figure plus an extensive repertoire of personal ornaments, ochre, and embellished bone tools have been gathered, analyzed and dated from this Acheulian site, there is little doubt that these items/figures were intentionally modified.⁠

The grooves and modified pebbles support a high degree of assemblage capabilities 'both in terms of technology and values of symmetry and shape'....⁠Substantiating archaeological and genetic evidence clearly demonstrates that symbolic female objects were humanly produced and used by Neanderthal Homo (neanderthalensis) clans.
Also, given that the oldest representational art fromTan-Tan c. 500,000 – Berekhat Ram c. 300,000 BCE and up through the next quarter of a million years was female, it positions dark female figures at 'the center of spiritual life during this period.' As the Berekhat Ram includes ochre plus other Afrocentric (dark mother) attributes, the evidence is hard to ignore."
~ Eahr Joan, "Re-Genesis Encyclopedia: Synthesis of the Spiritual Dark– Motherline, Integral Research, Labyrinth Learning, and Eco–Theology."⁠

Let that sink in: Neanderthals were making images of a Great Dark Mother as far back as 500,000 years ago. Just incredible.
Image: Berekhat Ram figurine, estimated to be as much as 280,000 years old.
