Bringing the Ancestors Home

OKEMAH, #Oklahoma --"Les Williston, #Choctaw, spoke on living life with honor, during the Convening of the Four Winds gathering at the Phillip Deere Round House on Sunday, hosted by the
#Mvskoke family of the international rights leader Phillip Deere.

"'Your ancestors are always around,' Williston said, speaking of the #SacredPlaces along the rivers. Williston is entrusted with bringing the Chahta ancestors home."

"Williston said that all along the rivers, like the #KiamachiRiver in southeastern Oklahoma, there are sacred places, places that are the heart of the people, places where the council was built.

"Speaking on bringing the ancestors home at the Phillip Deer Roundhouse on Muscogee Creek land, Williston was joined by Native people from throughout the nation during the two-day weekend gathering. They shared the history of the struggle for #NativeAmericanRights, the hard-won victories of the 1970s, and the ongoing struggles to protect the water and rivers -- as the #racism, threats of #EminentDomain seizures, the violence of #ManCamps of the #OilAndGas industry, the desecration of #LithiumMining in burial places, and the manipulations of the United States government continue.
With gratitude to the Native women gathered here, Williston said he appreciates the strength of the women speaking and their leadership, for it is a #matriarchal culture.

"'It is important that the women take the lead,' he said. 'I hear the wisdom come from these ladies.' 'We should always listen to the women, our clan mothers and clan sisters.'"
