Warriors! Sometimes there's a time to stand Tall and to Fight for Family, Friends and holy right
Sometimes there's a time when Justice ends - when We break the Right with Blood on our Hands.

I pray that the Creator may enlighten All of us - for that the Suffering of the Creator's Creatures wanes - if also we ourselves are bound to stand the pain and to die poor - flying through light and shaddow and light ... we ourselves as beautiful Lights - rather than bloody shaddows ... Yours Carsten - from Deutschland - Germany


my prayers for all of you, all my love and respect to all of you, my heart is breaking thinking that you are putting yourselves in harms way, like for hundreds-of-years now. Be well, and may you all have a good day today and everyday, and something will make you smile today, warm your heart today, stir feelings of love in you today, may you all be safe today! i love you all everyday, christopher

Ahee nin Tsaa goo. There is nothing I could say or do that could ever measure up to my thanks and sheer respect I have for the HASKEE and ANZBAA warriors out there protecting my very safety and freedoms I enjoy every day at the cost of their own lives and separation from all whom they love. I have been there too and have seen all you see. All my prayers and corn pollen are given each and every day to the Diyin Dinee to help you though all the hard times. I pray for the guidance of those who make the decisions on our warriors behalf in Washington. May peace and calm prevail and may those same sprits and Hero deities who have protected us thus far, come down and smite evil in all its forms. Peace be with you and your families. May all humanity come to realize why we serve so proudly to protect our ways as Americans. Very respectfully signed HM2 Manson Navajo / San Carlos Apache

To my nephew who is stationed in japan with the military, ryan, I came upon this website this evening , and saw what you have written. It brought tears to see your name and my brother's and my dad's (in clan relations) name. You may not quite know me but your dad ran some prayer meeting for my daughter out in steamboat, Az. She was on life support in Albuq. God blessed her, and gave her back to us, many thanks to you and your family, may god bless you wherever your footsteps lay upon mother earth, may he be with you always, I pray every meeting for you, to be safe and return soon, your dad and grandpa kee misses you so much. With lots of love d. Begay and family. We love you.

NativeLady AZ USA

In the old days we had Warriors to protect our Villages, Tribes and people. The Men of our Warrior Societies served proudly, they were brave, honest, trustworthy and resourceful, they were Warriors by choice and training and not by birth right. We still have those Warriors today, they dress differently but their Spirit hasn't changed, their mission hasn't changed and our high regards of them haven't either. Know that we acknowledge your achievements, your bravery and your sacrifices for your people. Hold your faces up to the Sun and let the Ancestors Bless you and return you to your people safe.

Ahho!! Goot Native Americans and Injuns!! We got internet out here in Iraq. I Thought I use the advantage to send a message to allll my Indians going to meeting during the weekend, and ask them to pray for our wounded and to the families tht losted loved ones. I lost a great friend last week. It breaks my heart to think about his family... and I thought how and what can I do for his family... and I thought .."pray".. and i thought to myself.."I cant do this alone.." and I remembered this website and thought maybe if I leave a message and other members maybe could pray together for LCpl Meyers from the Dineh Nation in New Mexico.. i asked my brothers and sister in helping me pray for comfort for his family. He went into the spirit world leaving behind his wife and 2 daughters.. but in spirit he will always be there. Ahho!! Semper Fi "Always Faithful!!"

Dave FL USA

To all that are serving in the military, stay safe and stay strong. My family and I pray for you every day and ask for safe returns to your family. My baby brother is in the Army and he told me the other day that he might deploy in November. I am scared and I am saddened by this. It hurts my heart, not only because he is my baby brother but we are very close. We talk every day and I am grateful for that. When things happen like this, it makes you think about life and not to take things for granted, especially family and friends. So, tell your family that you love them every day because we don't know what tomorrow holds for us. Anyway, with that said, MAY THE GREAT SPIRITS WATCH OVER YOU AND HAVE A SAFE RETURN TO YOUR HOMES AND FAMILIES. YOU ALL WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS AND KEEP STRONG!!! A'HOO.
Cheri AZ USA

To All My Children serving in the military. I send you prayers from my heart. My thoughts are all of you daily, even though I do not know your name, nor can I see your faces. I pray that you stay strong, stay safe, and that you will return home safely to your loved ones. This summer I will dance at many Pow Wows and even then my prayers will be for you. I have 3 sons. None in the military. Lately there is a young man who has adopted me as his mother. He spent 17 months in Iraq. I feel his pain, which is not physical, and hope that my prayers and support will help him. Know that all Warriors are honorable. We may not choose the war but we fight for all of our people. You are all heroes in whatever job you do. Mitakuye Owasin. We are all related.
Roxanna MN USA

Gary Gallup - NM USA

I would like to send my greetings to all soldiers in the armed services. I had a sister that had served in Desert Storm - she was behind the tanks by 10 minutes. Every day back then, I had spent my time looking at the tv hopin' to catch a glimpse of her. I know it's the same today as your loved ones spend their time doing as I had done. Our prayers of hope and comfort go out to one and all. My daughter will be joining the Army National Guard here in Oklahoma next month. I miss her already. But I know that the natives will keep an eye out for her when the time comes, as you do now for others. God bless you all and do keep your head down.

From a veteran to future veterans: For any of you who are preparing to go, are already there or have returned: Stay focused on the beauty that is around you, and promote that which is good. This will keep your spirits up and keep you safe. In the lands to which you may be sent, there are many spirits (some of the past), respect that you are in their land, and let them know that you are there to bring about good.

A brave young Dine' woman, far from the Sacred Mountains, who is overseas in Iraq, as she protects our Native Freedom. Family and friends miss you and pray for your safety. Believe in the Peyote medicine as well as your sacred Corn Pollen. When you come home, I would love to be there in that tipi meeting and sing my songs for you. Soon, I will prepare some Mutton jerky especially made from your Nali's sheep. I have also picked up some wild Navajo Tea for you. I will be sending you these as well as some pictures and stories about your dad and all the cousins. This I have done for DJ when he was there in Iraq and he found a lot of comfort from it. I sure hope it will bring you the same comfort and know that we are safe and well and that we miss you dearly. You take care, Nessa, and always look in the 4 directions =). Be safe and we love and miss you! 9/9/04 (someone's birthday is coming up!!! so expect a package!)

 To all of the warriors in our countries military service - may each of you take comfort in the fact that you honor the Earth Mother and Father Sky with the selfless work you do in the military. Especially now that our brothers and sisters are dying everyday as a result of the dangers they are surrounded by in these foreign lands, may we all send hope and life spirits to them all. I served in the US war in VietNam and I know from experience what war can do to a warriors spirit. Be strong and know that your brothers and sisters here, at home look forward to the day when we can welcome you back home. Know that the spirit circle reaches you, no matter where you are on this planet we call Earth. Peace, Love, Hope and Joy.
 Jim  Memphis, TN  USA

I am a Scot who is only beginning to learn from the First Americans and I am grateful for the chance. Wherever you are and whatever you are asked to do, I am sure every one of you is aware this is probably the time which will most define you as a person, to yourself and others. When you come home, you will have had an experience which only those in combat can properly relate to. Have compassion not only for those who have the tell-tale look but also for those who are grateful to have never needed to see and do these hardest of things. Fighting hard and intelligently brings honour; fighting with a mean or closed heart brings only smallness of self. I am not a fighting man. Please forgive me if I have got things wrong or shown my ignorance; but hundreds of millions of people in the world like me are thinking about what you are doing right now. They are making judgements about your opinions, when they don't even know your name. They make no effort to talk to you. If we nameless millions expect you to have compassion for the non-combatants near you, we must also have compassion for the soldier. Yours very sincerely, Stephen

Hello! to all my native warriors. I recently got discharged from the United States Marine Corps and was active during operation endering freedom and operation iraq freedom and also served my time in the middle east. I am thankful for the N.A.C. to have brought me back to my people (dine). Keeping my prayers in mind during the time of war kept me going and was also something worth fighting for. So with a few words of encouragment I hope that I can inspire you to do the same and return home safely. semper fi! god bless.

Truman Washington Dailey is my great uncle and I trained at Fort Sill oklahoma. Serving in the military is a tremendous hardship and I can relate to the service you are providing to us.

It was so heart warming to read the words of my brothers and sisters. I was hoping to perhaps see my grandson's name somewhere, he was last in Korea, unknown where he went from there. He is a strong hearted man, sings the song with joy in his heart. His name is Ahanu, his other name is Panther. If anyone sees or hears of him tell him his grandmother prays for him often.

i am thinking of elder Wallace Black Elk, as he is in prayer for this Earth right now. i am non-native....i have wondered all my life why this way of life has drawn me. my friend Gerald Jules told me this one day...that maybe somehow, when your mother helped out Chief George Leonards wife, many years ago, she layed down prayers for your mothers future children. that at least one of them would follow this Red Road. maybe that one is you.and so i thank Maskeegee and the elders for that and their kind hearts. and to warriors everywhere following their hearts and truth, stand firm, but with a gentle hand...because the greatest battle is won in the mind

Im a NATIVE INDIGENOUS person of the MEXICA-AZTEC people all of our people in North and south ANAHUAC_AMERICA are trying to get control of our ancient land given to us by our creator. What we have to do is unite the AZTEC and Native North American not only in human matters but in spiritual matters that way we can make of our land what was 42,000 years ago. In the past my people new the North Anahuac people. In today's time some people don't know we are the same people. lets go back to what we were.

Lori, you are a light now with creator. Your life is made holy again. God watch over you and your children and all relatives in this time of greiving and sorrow, but let there be happiness also because you lived as a human being on gods earth, as one of his many children. I remember you as one of the warriors. But we shall never forget all the warriors who have fallen in this great struggle. Our women have always fought for the survival of the people. 500 yrs of occupation and we still struggle for our lands and our culture. We shall never give up, till our spirits are satisfied and our ancestors have peace, the aboriginal blood still runs deep in the earth. Lori, take your place among the millions(65 million-+- since 1492) of fallen men, women, children and elders who have gone before you and all those who will come after, continue to fight the great struggle. Aho, all my relations.

Helloo to every one i just want to say i enjoyed reading the comments and hope every one has fun with gods way of life. I am a long time member of the Native American Church and enjoy every aspect of the church . i just encourage everyone to help eachother any way u can weather it be money donations,food,or just helping with the labor to do so .I think that is what makes a church and wish for our younger generation to step up to the plate and learn every thing you can with an open mind and heart.I myself enjoy singing and try to help whomever i can with an ability that our lord has givin me,and i wncourage others to do also . Try to help sing or whatever u can thats whats makes a church . God Bless Everyone and may you all Walk in Beauty .

I like to share this poem that one of the soldier wrote... 'Wish You Were Here'For all the free people that still protest.You're welcome. We protect you and you are protected by the best.Your voice is strong and loud,but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd.We are your fathers, brothers, and sons,wearing the boots and carrying guns.We are the ones that leave all we own,to make sure your future is carved in stone.We are the ones who fight and die,We might not be able to save the world, Well, at least we try.We walked the paths to where we are atand we want no choice other than that.so when you rally your group to complain,take a look in the back of your brain.In order for that flag you love to flywars must be fought and young men must die.We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.If that's not respected, we would rather stay here.So please stop yelling, put down your signs,and pray for those behind enemy lines.When the conflict is over and all is well,be thankful that we chose to go through hell.Corporal Joshua Miles and all the boys from 3rd Batallion 2nd Marines, KuwaitWar may not be the answer...but it's real...please pray for our Warriors....

People ask me what I think of the war. Then all these emotions well up inside me and I start to give and answer; then my spirit looks at this and decides not to answer' but says 'Allow me to consider this.' because I don't know each man friendly and 'enemy' alike has a mother; a father; a son; a daughter; ect. So in short from the way I can see it at this point both sides have failed and as a result have already lost with grandfather. - frodo failed; Bush has the ring

Yea, though I walk through a valley of tears,A spirit of peace shall abound.My people entwined by the echoes of time;Their lives for their Nation laid down.Though my hands may be calloused and withered with age;Though the road may be weary and long;For my people I cry that their spirits be highand their battle for freedom be strong.
