Tweeting in way more than 140 characters.

           “A Tribe Called Red” is a group of young Native men from the Ottawa area; I believe they are rappers but I am only guessing. Apparently kids have been showing up to concerts in war-paint and feathered head-dresses, in a (misguided) homage to them. Of course the artists are justifiably offended. The twitter feed ranted on about how wrong this is, without seizing the opportunity to educate their young followers. Racism is most often born of ignorance so the only real solution is to take every opportunity to educate and inform others.  No long lectures required, just address the issue at hand, and do not go into a tirade on the history of colonization.  Just inform them that war bonnets were never part of Six Nations culture and were only worn during ceremony by honoured leaders in the plains tribes. This one sentence would offer these misguided fans 2 pieces of information and perhaps encouraged them to learn more about either or both. Many celebrities like ATCR and Winnipeg’s Most, have the opportunity (and responsibility) to educated, a whole generation of young people in a way that ad campaigns and schools simply cannot. I urge every person to lovingly share your wisdom and gifts with those you meet. 
          We all share a responsibility to the future for eradicating racism and every other ism. Anything being used to separate us from each other is wrong and not in keeping with 5th dimensional living. I had a professor once who said when the aliens take over earth we are going to start finding a lot of commonality in just being human. Through our awakening spiritual energy we know that divine consciousness transcends all the limitations of our physical existence. We are simply an expression of source energy, the love which is both creator and creation in one. 
Have a joyous day.
