Native Americans United

May your rest tonight be deep so you can rise ready to meet the new week with confidence, hope and a thankful heart.

TRUE FACTS

When Europeans arrived, they did not encounter empty lands, but rather complex and profound civilizations. Native Americans were not—and are not—immigrants seeking a new home; they are, and always will be, the original owners of this continent. Their history lives in every river, every mountain, and every desert.
Remembering this changes our perspective: borders are temporary, but the presence of Indigenous Peoples is eternal. Their legacy is the root of everything we are.

Very true! 💜❤️🧡

In Native American culture, colors have special significance.
Red is the color of war, violence.
Black, an inauspicious color (for most cultures) represents the "living" and is worn on the face during war.
White is the color of peace.
Green, when worn under the eyes, empowers the individual with a night vision.
Yellow is the most adverse color, representing death (the color of "old bones") and when a person is mourning. Also, yellow means a person has lived their life and will fight to the finish. Native tribes maintain their own culture and unique way of face painting.
