What does Christmas really mean to us? Well personally I look at the opportunity to get close with my friends, it is more importantly a time when Christians remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. He came 2,000 years ago and I don’t think Man/Women have taken to heart what his message was? Many of us do not enter into a holy path until disaster has struck or our lives are at the final breath.
As a Native Canadian I was lucky to be brought into this world as, “who I am!” One born in a culture that existed here in northern BC for some 10,000 years led by a doctrine of honesty that help my people thrive. 10,000 years Yes! And life boils down to simple pray and honesty, that is the footprints my ancestors left me to teach my children.
Have you ever noticed that a person who has lived his/her life on a honest bases passes on to the “other-side” as if they were not even on this earth. They simply came here to show us how to live, by doing it, live honestly.
All our laws of the Gitxsan and the Wet’suwet’en speak to living a honest life. Never taking what is not yours! Earning what you have and it will stay with you and your kids. Never wasting or playing-with, what you have, especially food. Don’t take things for grant it! Learn to ask for what you need and always say ,thank you! Wake up every morning with God on your lips. This is how we native people have thrived here on earth for 10,000 years.
How have we changed? It has only been 100 years here in northern BC that a new culture has come and we have all but destroyed ourselves, and we have allowed a new culture to kill us! Yes we have had help, look at the cruel genocidal history of Canada and the western world. We are dam lucky to be alive some racists still want us dead!
We will be the conscious of Canada. It is time to put a new memory into the western world. Put the past behind us, don’t forget the past but let it forge our future. We are all Gods children.
Merry Christmas all! Let your spirits soar like eagles, let all people’s kids be strong, may God bring food to all on earth! Let us live a simple honest life, forgive all in the past take our next steps in Gods shoes and leave honest footprints for our kids to follow. Yes! We can make a difference, me then you, then another, then another! RESebastian
