The Purpose Of Native Unity

Submitted by Yonasda Muhammad

Peace,
Let me introduce myself my name is Yo'Nas Da LoneWolf McCall-Muhammad, my sacred name is Wacipi Ola Wan Win "Star Song Woman". I am a proud Lakota and Black woman. My mother was the late revolutionary and motivational speaker Wauneta LoneWolf and my adopted grandfather is Min. Louis Farrakhan-the leader of the Nation of Islam.

I am writing you because at the end of all your articles you state: NATIVE UNITY - A place for Native American Peoples to solidify their tribes to make a positive impact on the cultural, social, economic and political fabric of American society and a place for non-Natives to better understand the ways of the American Indian.

I am a FIGHTER for unifying and making people have a better understanding of our ways and our values. Being Black and Native American I have been prejudged and criticized by both races. But my mother told me no matter what race you are, you have to educate the ignorance.

I am humbly coming to you for aid to help me on successfully showing the world that our Native people are here, we are visible, we have a voice, and to come to the 10 Million Man March on October 15-17 at the Washington Monument in Washington D.C.

I was the only girl born during the Longest Walk. One of the most significent Civil Rights Movements by the American Indian Movement. When I was in Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota last summer, our youth have the warrior like instincts like our ancestors but with no direction, there will be more gangs, drugs, murder rising on our communities if we don't give them direction.

I am currently residing in Maryland. When I went to the opening of the American Indian Museum you should have seen how many people were shocked to see 10,000 Native Americans in "the big city", a lot of them thought we were extinct. Well, I am anticipating the look of the world when they see over a million tribal members with over a million black people and over a million Hispanic people joining for one cause, one voice and that is equality and justice and truth.

Please feel free to respond back to me, if you want to help me and get all the tribes to join and make this possible.
