Noojimo’iwewin The Foundation For Indigenous Healing

For far too long, America has expected Indigenous peoples to carry the truth quietly while celebrating a version of history that leaves too much untold. But truth does not disappear because it is ignored. It waits. And in time, it always comes into the light.

Many of us learned to recite the American Pledge of Allegiance as children. But how often do we pause to truly consider the words we are speaking?

“One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

If those words are to mean anything, they must mean something for everyone, including the First Peoples of this land.

Yet many Americans have never read the words in the Declaration of Independence that described Indigenous peoples as “merciless Indian Savages.” Those words became part of this nation’s founding story. They shaped attitudes, justified policies and helped normalize the dispossession of Indigenous lands and the violation of treaties.

If we are committed to truth, we cannot celebrate one part of our history while ignoring another.

Perhaps returning to God begins by returning to truth.

The words of the Pledge call us to honor the treaties this nation entered into, respect Indigenous sovereignty, acknowledge the full truth of our shared history and ensure that liberty and justice for all are not merely words we recite, but values we have the courage to live.

Patriotism is not the denial of truth. Patriotism is having the courage to face it.

If we truly believe in “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” then it is time to stop asking Indigenous peoples to forget and time for America to remember.

To honor the treaties. To uphold the agreements. To respect Indigenous sovereignty. To let truth guide justice.

Because healing has always begun with truth.

An Elder Is Not Someone Who Survived Time. An Elder Is Someone Who Became Medicine.

Long before the world called them old,
they were warriors.

They carried wood in the winter when their hands cracked open.
They buried people they loved and still woke up to pray for those still here.
They endured silence when their language was forbidden.
They endured pain they never deserved.

And still… they stayed.

An Elder is not someone who simply lived long.

An Elder is someone who refused to let their spirit die.

They became memory when others forgot.
They became strength when others broke.
They became guidance when others were lost.

They carry entire nations inside their chest.

Their wrinkles are not signs of age.
They are maps of survival.

Their quiet is not weakness.
It is wisdom that no longer needs permission to speak loudly.

They are the last living bridge
between who we were
and who we must become.

When an Elder speaks, it is not just a person speaking.

It is generations.

It is ancestors.

It is truth.

One day, their voice will fall silent.

And when it does, the world will lose a library that can never be replaced.

Honor them now.

Sit with them now.

Listen now.

Because one day,
we will pray to remember the things
we had the chance to hear.

And one day, if we live right…

We will become medicine too.

The land is not just where we live, it is who we are. It holds the memory of our ancestors, the prayers of our people and the medicine for our healing. We are standing on stories. On generations who came before us.

At Noojimo’iwewin, we return to the land not to escape, but to remember. When we reconnect with the land, we reconnect with ourselves.
