From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm interested in lots of stuff, but especially concepts like Wikipedia.
Currently I've added a bit of information regarding the Iroquois Confederacy for the sake of presenting a different plausible, and perhaps as accurate view. I did so because perceptions matter, and for a people as maligned, misrepresented and ignored as the Native Indian across the entire Hemisphere mis-named the Americas (after an Italian, no less) -- it is more imperative to address correctly, as much as possible a truly World Wide view as opposed to a merely culturally European biased view so that there is a chance to "meet" or "know" the People themselves.
As I come across different articles with which I can make a similar contribution of increasing clarity or expanding a view useful to consider, within it's proper context, I will do so relying upon the critique and participation of others to enrich the value of Wikipedia for all.
There is a Lakota saying, which very much applies to something as vast as Wikipedia. The Lakota say simply, "Mitakuye Oyasin" meaning in English, "We are all related".
I certainly believe everyone can agree to this. Living and working so that this is actually meaningful to each one is a more challenging task, which I'm positive every person can achieve. We have reached the point, in my view, it is all of us or none. At least that is what the Earth and the Universe, seems to be saying. And not merely humans, but all life and that lives is whom we are related to as well, nor can we divide humanity from the environment and life we share our lives with. This is also another learning process we are all awakening to in different ways. There are probably other layers of meaning within that Lakota phrase as well, may we discover what it may be -- well.
