They are fearless, with a strong inner strength and have an ability to see through things. They are called the Lovers mainly because they have an ability to love all things, especially the difficult individual. One of their major lessons in life is to "Love to Learn and Learn to Love".Salmon/Sturgeon people are born leaders and love to be the centre of attention. They are active, powerful, courageous, but also having a playful side. They will try their hardest to avoid confrontations, but will fight when cornered. They must curb a tendency to do too much, as well as being too dominant and arrogant

Grandfather Peter's Prayer for Today

Grandfather’s Pray for Today

Thank you my Creator for allowing me ……

TO WALK THE RED ROAD

Creators Blessings.

Long road winding began in the stars,

spilled onto the mountain tops,

was carried in the snow to the streams,

to the rivers, to the ocean…

It covers Canada, Alaska, America,

Mexico to Guatemala,

and keeps winding around the indigenous peoples.

The Red Road is a circle of people

standing hand in hand,

people in this world, people between

people in the Spirit world.

star people, animal people, stone people,

river people, tree people…

The Sacred Hoop.

To walk the Red Road

is to know sacrifice, suffering.

It is to understand humility.

It is the ability to stand naked before the Creator of all things,for your wrong doings,

for your lack of strength,

for your uncompassionate way,

for your arrogance - because to walk

the Red Road, you always know

you can do better. And you know,

when you do good things,

it is through the Creator, and you are grateful.

To walk the Red Road

is to know you stand on equal ground

with all living things. It is to know that

because you were born human,

it gives you superiority over nothing.

It is to know that every creation carries a Spirit,

and the river knows more than you do,

the mountains know more than you do,

the stone people know more than you do,

the trees know more than you do,

the winds are wiser than you are,

and animal people carry wisdom.

You can learn from every one of them,

because they have something you don’t:

They are void of evil thoughts.

They wish vengeance on no one, they seek Justice.

To Walk the Red Road,

you have God given rights,

you have the right to pray,

you have the right to dance,

you have the right to think,

you have the right to protect,

you have the right to know the Great Mother,

you have the right to dream,

you have the right to vision,

you have the right to teach,

you have the right to learn,

you have the right to understand,

you have a right to grieve,

you have a right to happiness,

you have the right to fix the wrongs,

you have the right to truth,

you have a right to the Spirit World.

To Walk the Red Road

is to know your Ancestors,

to call to them for assistance…

It is to know that there is good medicine,

and there is bad medicine…

It is to know that Evil exists,

but is cowardly as it is often in disguise.

It is to know there are evil spirits

who are in constant watch

for a way to gain strength for themselves

at the expense of you.

To Walk the Red Road,

you have less fear of being wrong,

because you know that life is a journey,

a step by step process,

a continuous circle, a sacred hoop.

Mistakes will be made,

and mistakes can be corrected -

if you will be humble,

for if you cannot be humble,

you will never know

when you have made a mistake.

If you walk the Red Road,

you know that every sorrow

leads to a better understanding,

every horror cannot be explained,

but can offer growth.

To Walk the Red Road

is to look for beauty in all things.

To Walk the Red Road

is to know you will one day,

cross to the Spirit World, and you will not be afraid…

for your sacred journey will continue,

On the Blue Road
