Throughout our formative years from our early days in radical wildlife conservation to the creation of the revolutionary pan indigenous government we have supported, hosted, assisted with fundraising, offered graphic design and participated in the Peace And Dignity Journeys. We were even able to protect one of the main organizers from white supremacists just by merely being present in 2012. A liberal and revolutionary divide exists even amongst indigenous. We have been kept at a distance and minimized which has caused us to limit our involvement. Unfortunately, in the indigenous community part of navigating is waiting for gatekeepers to reach the end of their time so new people can carry on. We realize those who are not radicalized have not faced as many defeats as those who are because radicalization is a process. It’s caused by losing after actually fighting. Over and over. It occurs by ethics and observation of circumstance. The Latin root of radical can be found in the word radish. It means we went to the root. The core contradiction is colonialism. Liberalism causes elements of the people to betray revolution, but the revolution is politically educated and disciplined enough not to betray the masses. The fledgling pan indigenous government which is a truly revolutionary entity according to definition continues to assist the Peace And Dignity run. The prayer run is widely symbolic so why would materialists participate you might ask? The answer is to connect indigenous communities which is absolutely paramount to an entity with an emphasis on community and sharing. A chance to gain insight into the material needs of those communities. That being said, it is crucial to connect all communities not just ones that don’t make elements of indigenous liberalism nervous. Sending runners was an ancient form of diplomacy. Why would militants participate? Because we tend to be disciplined, determined and physically fit enough to carry the prayer consistently year after year. Let’s tell the whole story instead omitting information from history. We are the element that ensures peace. We are the dignity.
“The existence of a nation is not proved by culture, but in the peoples struggle against the forces of occupation” Frantz Fanon
Conclusion: Please join I.S.R the fledgling pan indigenous government in supporting and participating again in the legendary Peace And Dignity Run because it is the correct thing to do.
