Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is error, the truth; Where there is doubt, the faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled, as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
I love the nature and to be near people with common interests, go often for a ride on my motorcycle or have a walk in the mountains and in the nature, and enjoy life. I am also helping in the Salvation Army work inbetween being a teacher in mechanics.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING SIGNED THE PETITION ON THE INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOLS. I HAVE A PERSONAL FRIEND WHO LIVES NOT FAR FROM ME THAT WAS FORCED TO GO TO ONE OF THESE SCHOOLS. SHE WAS 8 YEARS OLD AND SO WAS HER FRIEND. HER FRIEND LAY IN A BED ALL NIGHT SICK WITH NO HELP GIVEN BY THE ADULTS. ALL MY FRIEND COULD DO WAS HOLD HER HAND AND SING SOFTLY TO HER IN THEIR INDIAN WORDS. IN THE MORNING SHE WATCHED AS HER FRIEND WAS TAKEN OUTSIDE IN THE BLANKET THAT HAD COVERED HER AND PUT INTO AN UNMARKED GRAVE WITH NO CEREMONY. MY FRIEND HAS THIS FOR A CHILDHOOD SCHOOL MEMORY!! FORGIVE ME IF I SEEM A BIT FRUSTRATED DUE TO LACK OF SIGNATURES, BUT NO CHILD SHOULD DIE LIKE THAT BUT SHE WAS INDIAN SO SHE DID. MY FRIEND IS ALIVE TODAY WHO ENDURES THIS MEMORY, THIS ISN'T ANCIENT HISTORY!
AND FOR YOU KIND AND UNDERSTANDING WORDS. WHEN AN ISSUE IS PUSHED UNDER THE CARPET OR FORGOTTEN IS WHEN NOTHING IMPROVES. THE INDIANS OF THIS COUNTRY HAVE CONTRIBUTED MUCH YET ARE STILL TREATED IN UNJUST WAYS. IS WHY I CONTINUE TO EDUCATE OTHERS EVEN ACROSS THE WATERS FOR THE EU CAN PUT PRESSURE UPON THE USA TO TREAT THOSE THAT LIVE ON THIS LAND IN A BETTER WAY. TO BE FORGOTTEN IS TO SUFFER IN SILENCE....I WILL NOT BE SILENT. MY ANCESTORS TELL ME TO SPEAK UP AND OUT TO LET ALL KNOW THAT THE INDIAN PEOPLE ARE STILL HERE.
FOR WATCHING THE VIDEO WHERE SPIRITS ARE EATEN. YOU SPEAK FROM A PLACE OF LOVE WHICH IS THE SAME CREATOR WHO MADE US ALL. THE NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE PAST AND UNFORTUNATELY STILL TODAY ARE TREATED IN HORRIBLE WAYS....SO MANY ONLY TREAT THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WELL WHEN THEY ARE JUST LIKE THEM IN ALL WAYS....THIS IS NOT HOW OUR CREATOR MADE US. HE MADE US IN VARIOUS COLORS OF SKIN, HAIR, HEIGHT, AND WE ARE LIKE THE VARIOUS SHADES OF THE RAINBOW. WE ARE ALL SPECIAL AND EACH HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER EVEN IF OUR COLOR IS DIFFERENT. JUST BECAUSE WE SPEAK TO OUR CREATOR IN A WAY YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND DOES NOT MEAN WE DO NOT HONOR THE SAME ONE WHO BREATHED LIFE INTO US ALL. I'M HONORED FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP ON HERE.
PLEASE WATCH AND LISTEN CAREFULLY...THIS IS JOHN TRUDELL..NATIVE AMERICAN..ACTIVIST..ARTIST..POET..MUSICIAN..."WHERE SPIRITS ARE EATEN" PROTECT YOUR SPIRIT
