Alright yall, I am in a relatively good mood today so I decided to show you the softer side of a bitter Jib ;)
This goes out to all us Native women who hold it down.
INDIAN WOMEN
In a round table discussion about whether reincarnation was really possible, a financially struggling single woman said, "I want to come back as a rich white woman's poodle that's pampered and rides around all day in her luxury car."
A tired waitress said, "I want to come back rich and make a lot of money and be a mega super recording star."
The frustrated computer tech said, "If I can come back, I want to be the President, so I can change a lot of things about this world near and far."
I sat and thought about it. I said, "I don't know if it's possible, but if I can.........
Creator, please let me come back as an INDIAN WOMAN."
I want to come back with a mind fierce and sharp,
with a spiritual faith that never waivers or doubts,
a smile that is warm,
with a body divine,
with golden brown, tan or dark skin
draped in red and gold....
and whether young or old... always have enough money
... so the words "broke", "commodities", "cut-off", "past-due",
or "general assistance" aren't in MY vocabulary.
I want to be a sister to my sister.
A woman wise when choosing my mate or a date.
I want to be able to cook fry bread, meat pies, corn soup
with skillet bread and rice and raisins all at the same time.
I want to come back an INDIAN WOMAN with self-esteem
worthy of being treated like a PRINCESS from my TRIBE.
An INDIAN WOMAN with patience, love, and wisdom for children.
An INDIAN WOMAN to teach our children traditional ways to keep our culture alive.
AN INDIAN WOMAN with subscriptions to the Senk'lip,
Raven Spirit, Native Perspective, Indian Country Today,
Native Peoples and the Globe & Mail
and a membership to the BC Native Women's Society
and Native Women's Association of Canada.
I want to come back an INDIAN WOMAN with at least one beautiful piece of turquoise and silver on my finger.
I want to come back with the strength and courage of Mary Two Axe Early
the voice of Buffy Ste. Marie,
the political knowledge of Wilma ManKiller and Ada Deere,
the determination of Jeannette Corbiere Lavall,
the spiritual poise of Dorris Peters, Mary Louie or Melinda Miles,
the business savvy of Iola Hadden,
the eloquence of Sheila Tousey,
the talent of Irene Bedard
and the artistic eye of Margo Kane
I want to come back as an INDIAN WOMAN
who can stay focused on the Creation regardless of the circumstances.
I want to be saved from sin.
I want to never let what people say or do change
my demeanor; to be humble; love and be loved unconditionally.
I want skin that is flawless and soft,
eyes of discernment,
lips which speak ONLY the truth,
hands of gentleness, and feet of prosperity.
If reincarnation is real,
please let me come back as an INDIAN WOMAN!!!
