Tansi (Hello),

Indigenous Internal and External Sovereignty empowers communities, nurturing languages, cultures, and a sacred bond with the Land. Gwich'in Elder Randall G. Tetlichi teaches that all life is interconnected, starting with the self and the Creator, then extending to family, community, and the universe. The 9 Sacred Fires 5,000 Year Meta Master Plan Through Consciousness builds on this wisdom, guided by the Creator Laws of Respect, Care, and Acceptance for all life, to foster freedom, healing, and balance for all people across diverse languages, climates, and cultures.

Plains Cree Elder Buffalo Child shares: “Indigenous Languages and Cultures need thousands of years to thrive, as do all life’s languages and cultures.” (Paraphrased)

This Meta Strategic Plan, rooted in Indigenous teachings, training, and healing, aims to preserve these vital connections over 5,000 years. It bypasses systemic biases, embracing the Creator’s Laws to respect all life—from towering mountains to buzzing bees—care for it through sustainable stewardship, and accept its unique roles in the web of life. Indigenous Cultures are deeply tied to nature: mountains, valleys, oceans, lakes, rivers, insects, birds, and plants like bear root, a vital medicine harvested communally in spring, eaten, dried, and used in sweats. These practices, passed down like a family tree’s branches through stories, songs, and ceremonies with sweet grass, sage, drums, and feathers, rely on the Land’s finite gifts, which need time to renew.

Colonization, racism, and genocide devastated Nations like the Cree, Métis Alberta, and Big Stone Cree Nation, each with thousands of years of Internal and External Sovereignty. Forced treaties, driven by initiatory force, were illegal, undermining Indigenous decision-making and economies. Canada’s systems—RCMP, banks, industries—must honor Indigenous ties to the Land, a process spanning centuries. The Mother Earth Connection, an Indigenous expertise, is central to sovereignty. For example, the Porcupine Caribou Herd and plants like bear root depend on Indigenous Sovereignty to survive 5,000 years. Urban living doesn’t replace this bond; it’s essential to Indigenous identity and thriving civilizations.

The 9 Sacred Fires 5,000 Year Meta Strategic Plan focuses on six areas of human development—spiritual, mental, physical, emotional, social, and economic—to cultivate freedom, harmony, and compassion. Inspired by Elder Tetlichi and thinkers like Yasuhiko Genku Kimura, it promotes co-creating solutions through consciousness, bypassing biases like those in colonial systems (e.g., Crown Corporations, academia). It encourages living on the Land, practicing Indigenous Ways—sweat lodges, pipe ceremonies, drumming, harvesting bear root, or picking medicines—to preserve languages and cultures. These “modules” of living systems, trackable over time, ensure balance with resources like fossil fuels, which must be used wisely for future generations.

The Creator Laws guide this vision: Respect fosters survivability through cultural practices; Care ensures sustainable living, like reducing waste or switching to electric vehicles; Acceptance builds unity, teaching humility and inclusivity. By strategizing ideas—businesses, camps, or ceremonies—and securing funding, the plan supports Indigenous Degrees, where Elders preserve place names, practices, and knowledge tied to the Land. It rejects colonial control, affirming that Canada, banks, or the Crown hold no sovereignty over Indigenous Nations. Climate challenges, from floods to famines, demand adaptation, but Mother Earth’s impartial love for all life reminds us to co-create solutions, not govern her cycles.

This plan unites Indigenous, Canadian, and global communities, honoring the “Wheel of Life” through practices like healing circles, tool-making, and storytelling. It empowers individuals to change themselves, as Elder Tetlichi says: “You cannot change others, but you can change yourself—how you think, see, and speak.” Join us to build a just, sustainable future, free from systemic biases, where all life thrives.
