I watched a YouTube clip of an Indian spiritual master. He narrates his experience in the Tennessee Valley, where he went on a boat ride in a lake. The sensitivity, poetry, eulogy and tribute he pays to a lost and losing tribe touches you deeply. It reverberates the injustice inflicted in the past and insensibility all of us show today. He felt a powerful presence of the past and present which was one of the most intense pain he ever felt. 

He said that the spirit of a warrior chief of Native Americans still stands there in silence as he promised, since centuries. Guarding the trail. 

This made me look for their story, the “Trail of tears”.

The five tribes of the East of America were removed and asked to trek away to the west of America by their own means. It was a disaster and thousands died of exhaustion and sickness. When the old died they did not leave them on the way. They carried them all along the way to the west. Bodies rotted, but they never abandoned them.

When they were relocated in the west, once again the gold rush hit them hard with thousands occupying their lands. 
The Cherokees lost their land and America celebrates THANKSGIVING to the lord almighty for giving them the land.

Cherokees’ beliefs are full of sanctity and sacredness. 

Which we are searching for and trying to acquire for creating an ideal world.

Belief in the great spirit

Live with nature

Man has to endure suffering 

Man is essentially good by nature

Do not interfere and give freedom

They kill the animal to eat but believe that if respectfully approached the animal will offer itself as food for them. Similar to African bush people who ask for the forgiveness of the fallen animal in hunting.

Culture and religions these ancients are the design and wisdom of many years of evolution and are open-ended and open architecture absorbing and accommodating and adjusting itself for all challenges and changes.

We give so much importance to the extinction of species. It is true and good. But never bother to prevent the extinction of cultures and belief systems. 

Physical violence kills people.

Cultural violence kills the people and all their ancestors, inheritance, histories, legends, stories, folklore and the rest of it in one nuclear decimation.
