"The Church Without Walls"
They asked me once, "Where is your church?"

❤️👉 Get this T-shirt and hoodie here: www.nativepridestores.com/tee349
I smiled and pointed to the horizon.

“To the east, where the sun rises and paints the sky with fire - there, I begin my prayers.
To the north, where the winds carry the wisdom of the ancestors - I listen and learn.
To the west, where the sun dies gently each day - I give thanks for the lessons.
To the south, where life grows and renews - I find healing and hope.”

My church does not have doors, but it welcomes all.
Its roof is the sky, sometimes fierce with storms, sometimes calm with stars.
Its walls are made of pine and river, stone and silence.
And its teachings are written in birdsong, in paw prints, in the way the water moves over stone.

Nature is not something I worship.
It is something I belong to.

I carry no book, for the Earth writes stories in every leaf and every breath.
I follow no preacher, but I follow the wolf, the crow, the cedar tree.
They have never lied to me.

So no, I don’t need a building to find my spirit.
I just need to stand barefoot in the soil and remember:

The Earth is my church.
And nature is my religion.

Whispers of the Ancients
❤️Get yours tee 👉 www.nativepridestores.com/tee327
The wind carries voices, soft yet strong,
Ancestral echoes, an endless song.
Through silent forests, their wisdom flows,
In stillness deep, the Great Spirit knows.
The fire dances, the river sighs,
Dreamcatchers gleam beneath the skies.
Each feather tells where spirits roam,
Each heartbeat leads the soul back home.
Listen, child, to the earth’s embrace,
Her timeless rhythm, her sacred grace.
For in the circle, all hearts align—
The voice of the sacred is yours, is mine.

Native Tribes of North America Mapped ✔
The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in North America about 15 thousand years ago.
As a result, a wide diversity of communities, societies, and cultures finally developed on the continent over the millennia. The population figure for Indigenous peoples in the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus was 70 million or more.
About 562 tribes inhabited the contiguous U.S. territory. Ten largest North American Indian tribes: Arikara, Cherokee, Iroquois, Pawnee, Sioux, Apache, Eskimo, Comanche, Choctaw, Cree, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Navajo, Seminole, Hope, Shoshone, Mohican, Shawnee, Mi’kmaq, Paiute, Wampanoag, Ho-Chunk, Chumash, Haida. Below is the tribal map of Pre-European North America.
The old map below gives a Native American perspective by placing the tribes in full flower ~ the “Glory Days.” It is pre-contact from across the eastern sea or, at least, before that contact seriously affected change. Stretching over 400 years, the time of contact was quite different from tribe to tribe.
For instance, the “Glory Days” of the Maya and Aztec came to an end very long before the interior tribes of other areas, with some still resisting almost until the 20th Century. At one time, numbering in the millions, the native peoples spoke close to 4,000 languages. The Americas’ European conquest, which began in 1492, ended in a sharp drop in the Native American population through epidemics, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, and slavery.
When the United States was founded, established Native American tribes were viewed as semi-independent nations, as they commonly lived in communities separate from white immigrants.

NATIVE AMERICANS ARE NOT ETHNICALLY BLACK AFRICANS.
While both groups are indigenous to their respective continents, they have distinct and separate origins, genetic histories, and cultures. The assertion that Native Americans were black Africans is a misconception that ignores both scientific evidence and historical facts.
Key differences between the two populations include:
Genetic origin: Genetic and archaeological evidence show that Native Americans descend from prehistoric populations that migrated from Asia to North America across the Bering Strait tens of thousands of years ago. Black Africans and African Americans have their origins in Africa.
Physical traits: The physical traits of Native American and black African peoples evolved over thousands of years in different geographical locations, resulting in distinct physical variations. For example, the facial features often used to incorrectly suggest an African origin for early Americans, such as the Olmec heads, have been shown to be within the normal range of variation for Indigenous Mesoamerican populations.
Historical context: The idea of black Africans being the "original" Native Americans is based on weak, subjective evidence that emerged centuries after contact between the two groups. During the colonial period, enslaved Africans and Indigenous peoples were often forced into close proximity, leading to some mixing of populations, but this was a relatively recent development in American history. In fact, some Native American tribes even adopted slavery, which further complicates the history of interaction between these groups.
Interactions: While some African Americans have a small degree of Native American ancestry, this typically stems from intermarriage during the colonial and early American periods, and does not suggest a shared origin. The vast majority of Native American ancestry traces back to the Beringian migrations, and modern genetic testing has debunked the idea of a widespread, pre-Columbian African settlement of the Americas.

Whispers of the Sacred Wind

Listen to the wind — it carries song,
Of those who walked this earth so long.
Listen to silence — it softly weaves,
The truth the Spirit still believes.

Listen to your heart — it knows the way,
Through night’s dark hush to dawn’s first ray.
For every breath the Earth imparts,
Is wisdom spoken to open hearts.
