Prayers & Positive Needed to Sustain Chief Theresa Spence...
[ALL OUR] RELATIVES, "We are all one people", I want to ask one more thing of you - could you post the following on your [Facebook, Twitter (#idlenomore #THERESASPENCE #strengthchiefatawapiskat), Blog, and any other Social Media] for one hour or for the rest of the evening to support our relative and sister; Chief of Attawapiskat? Let's all pray for her hunger strike, this is her first day. I spoke with her myself yesterday and these words are true:
"I’m willing to die for my people because the pain is too much and it’s time for the government to realize what (it’s) doing to us. Somebody asked me if I was afraid to die. No, I’m not afraid to die. If that’s the journey for me I will go and I’m looking forward to it." ― Chief Theresa Spence

ReplyDeleteChief Theresa -
ReplyDeleteblessings and aloha from another Theresa in Hawaii Ne. Have emailed your story to many here on the islands. Fasted for you 2 days ago and sending strong pules (prayers in Hawaiian) for strength, courage and favor with opposition that years of oppression may crumble down with the feather you hold. Sang for years with AIM, traveling with Russell Means, Red Crow and worked on the 3rd mesa apprenticing with Grandfather David (Hopi).
