America and indeed the world is on fire. All segments are at war with each other. Politics has been reduced to name-calling, defunding equality, and efforts to jail each other. The right-wing and the left wing are in conflict. The Red, Black, Brown, Yellow, and White shades of humanity have failed to prove to me we are truly a land of the free. Nothing is free, particularly Freedom.
Before the Colonies, there was The Great Peacemaker and Haudenosaunee to stop the war among the Native Americans. This Native American concept is, in fact, the foundation of what became the United States. The words were recognized but the spirit of those words was lost in the greed that followed the country's founding.
Shades of humanity into harmony. Our group, the Brotherhood and Sisterhood International, and its National Hope Collaborative hope to convince the shades of humanity to form the most beautiful rainbow the world has ever seen.
Roosevelt Tarrelsson and Brad Carson have combined their life’s work with 12 other BSI/NHC Partners to bring this nation and by example, the World back to a time of peace, a time of the spirit of The Great Peacemaker and Haudenosaunee. We ask all tribal leaders in North America to join our great adventure. We wish to establish our programs.
