Golden Hawaii



Dec 10, 2018

I had this wild dream where I stole a bunch of money—only it was from my job, and I felt so guilty about it! 😂 We pulled off this crazy stunt where we smuggled a gold bus on top of another bus to some secret location. 😆 Suddenly, $100,000 was deposited into my account, and I knew I’d get even more! 😁 


So, what did I do? I hopped on a plane straight to Hawaii with my grandsons! We landed in the water, which was a trip in itself! 😋 As we stepped off the plane, we walked right into the ocean on the beach, and I could see all these exotic fish swimming around us. The boys took off ahead while I somehow got lost! 😂 


I wandered along a wharf filled with these huge crabs that looked like they were trying to clip me! 😆 But I wasn’t scared at all—I grew up with live crabs, so I knew they were just being silly. I reached a dead end and decided to head back to catch up with the boys.


For some strange reason, we ended up in these poor hotels, but they were still big and sparkling on the outside. I left the boys there for a bit to fly back home and grab something, then I returned with Arizona, who I had booked a flight for earlier.


I’m pretty sure I can get used to having tons of money, so thank you very much, Lord! 🙏🏽 


The end! 🤩

Bear with hanging tongue

The bear with the tongue hanging out of its mouth is not what you think.  Gather around, and let me share a story that carries the weight of our history, a tale that speaks of resilience and survival. Many people do not understand the significance of the tongue, often mistaking it as merely a feature of the bear. But there is much more to this story, one that we must keep alive as our Aboriginal stories, culture, and beliefs are too often appropriated for the profit of others. In our tradition, totem poles are read from the bottom up, with the tribe usually depicted at the base. It is important to note that the Gitxsan do not have a bear tribe. Instead, the bear symbolizes Russia, a powerful force that once threatened our lands. Long ago, the West Coast nations—including the Gitxsan, Nisga'a, Haida, and others—joined together to stand against Russia when they began to claim our traditional territories and take our people as slaves. Among those who suffered was a woman from th...

When the food drops

Image
I learned a lot from my grandfather and my parents just by watching them every day. We didn’t talk much about spirituality; we just lived it. Spirituality runs deep in our upbringing; it’s something that flows through our blood and is passed down by our ancestors who have gone before us. Our beliefs aren’t fancy or dramatic—there's no fire and lightning, just the spirit. We used to respect all of life, knowing that spirits are present in everything, including ourselves. God is within us and beside us; every thought we have is a prayer. I should mention that medicine can be used for harm too. Thoughts filled with hatred can be prayers as well. Some people who mix their medicine with bad intentions are called Hel'dow'gwit, or witchcraft. Over the past 50 years, many Gitxsan have changed and evolved. Sweat lodges, which were once only for hunting preparation, are now spaces for prayers and healing. Traditional gatherings have transformed into Healing Circles where we talk abou...

Burning

Image
Too often, our Gitxsan culture is romanticized, which can create an illusion that it is unattainable or far removed from the realities of our daily lives. This perception can make it seem uninviting to our young people, who may feel disconnected from the traditions and values that define us. We must remember to light the fire, to gather together, and to prepare meals with love for our family and friends. The act of burning food is not a failure but a reminder of our humanity and the lessons we learn along the way. Each meal shared is an opportunity to connect, to nurture, and to honor those we cherish. Every thought is a prayer. When we think of our loved ones who have journeyed on, they are with us in spirit, surrounding us with their love and gratitude for the respect and intention we hold in our hearts. It is in these moments that we can feel their presence, reminding us of the strength of our connections and the importance of our cultural practices. Let us not shy away from the imp...
