As some of you maybe already know I supported a few people in my nations Election for SN Council. For those who don't know what that it is, here is the low down:

Every 4 years my nation goes through turmoil and dis-trust among families and people to elect 16 seats to be our "democratic" council. This council is to initiate projects aloted from their "Portfolio's" that each have. They also sit around drink coffee, vote about pointless things and add to the beauocracy of democracy in a capitalistic ideals with christian values. A backwords way adding to the Aboriginal way of regressing and adding more to the pathway our people should not go down.

My mother, of course, made it into council. Which was a shocker and amazing to see how she is behaving. After observing her and watching people at the Council meeting I came to a few conlusions for the time being and I hope these don't change.

1. Council will never be a way for me to create change to effect future generation coming from the old
2. Some of my people are lost, confused and brainwashed
3. To create more avenues for change, other then "Chief And Council", are the best way to make it happen
4. Band Councils are restricting and do not in any way reflex true indigenous goverment
5. Following this "Band Council" adds to the assimilation and corruption of our people into western philosophy mentality
6. Politics: Change at all happens slow to the extreme (H-Core Slow)
7. confined, status-quo, restricting, in the box, hands-off all make up Politics
8. Politics is everything I am not, see number 8 for more information
9. I will not create anything from this, that is close to my purpose in life
10. Chief & Council is not my purpose in life (See Contract)
11. I fufill my contract or out-do my ansestors by conforming to this or somthing like this

To figure this out makes me feel good because, even though my people think this is where "change" happens, it is not. That is the status-quo itself for "change". Only on Council can you create anything for the people. I will create, promote, and allow things to happen in my life and I will never be a Council for as long as I live. I will not promote following into it's regime. I hope to create a new avenue and more avenues for future generations to go down besides

CHIEF AND COUNCIL
