What is Turtle ISland? We Live There!

The United Snakes of America as Opposed to Turtle Island.

     A friend of mine calls our country the United Snakes of America. I immediately took issue with Her because what this statement does is unify the enemies in our country as a force to attempt to take away our the Black progress we have made.  When you speak such words into the universe, you end up empowering people who are against you.  This is NOT a wise thing to do.

     On the other hand, I call our country Turtle Island.  This is the term used for the United States of America that is used by Native People.  This unifies our country under its rightful owner – the Native American People, who were all but, at one point, almost exterminated from their own homeland, by invaders.   They were once forced to live on reservations and had to walk what was then called the Trail of Tears. This was their walking in a forced manner, across the country during brutal weather.  They lost hundreds of people that year.  But now, Native Americans have a bright future and own aver 30 Native American colleges, through the American Indian College Fund.  I am very proud of them because Native blood flows through the vanes of many African Americans.  They also own some casinos in this Turtle Island, and are making money to work towards getting their people fed, getting off of illegal drugs and alcohol, and finding a purpose to live for. Thank you for listening to me today.
