Op-Ed - IF AN OWL CALLS YOUR NAME; BECOME A SPIRITUAL WARRIOR – Native Media Network
The battle to defeat Inequality, Injustice, Prejudice, Corruption, Abuse, Tyranny, Genocide, Colonialism, Assimilation, IS NOT NEW.
Dear Friends:
This past weekend, friend invited me to view a documentary (If an Owl Calls Your Name) on the struggle of the Esk’etemc, Gitxsan, and Wet’suwet’en People of British Columbia to reclaim their cultural identity.
Throughout modern and ancient history, civilizations have arisen with the intent to subjugate Peoples and force them to serve their masters as a sub-class, stripping them from their lands, Language and Cultural identity.
The movie was not entertaining, but an inspirational call to action to RESIST the repression that is currently being experienced by the Supremist ideology that is circling our planet by a political and economic elite.
WE ARE STILL HERE:
Throughout History, individuals have also arisen to fight repressive masters, to heal the trauma of conquest and enslavement. They were not saints, they were individuals that stood up to pass on the Creators Original Instructions and Wisdom of the elders Creators Original Instructions of Respect, Interdependence and Thanksgiving.
They passed on the Creators (Gods) words to empower the SPIRIT, LAND, CULTURE and IDENTITY and begin the healing of generational trauma.
To begin with, Krihna, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses , Elders / Faith keepers, individuals who answered the call of the Owl as Warriors to fight for truth, Justice and social equality.
Subsequent generations Sanctified them as Saints and Gods for their actions to resist.
Who knows , more recently, AIM leaders, Clyde Bellecourt, Dennis Banks, George Mitchell, Vernon Bellecourt, Oren Lyons, Ruben Snake, Phillip Deere, Leonard Peltier, Russel Means, will be sanctified as Saint Clyde, Saint Dennis, Saint George, Saint Vernon, Saint Oren, Saint Ruben, Saint Philip, Saint Leonard, Saint Russel.
Those who have passed on must be smiling and waiting more recent candidates from NoDAPLE leaders including Phyllis Young, Chase Iron Eyes, Madonna Thunder Hawk (from Standing Rock) and legal figures like Daniel Sheehan, Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein, Myron Dewey, Orlando Cruz, Red Fawn and the Standing Rock community as well as Activists from indigenous communities such as the Esk’etemc, Gitxsan, and Wet’suwet’en territories (now called British Columbia) as they walk the quiet path of healing after generations of forced assimilation.
YESSS, You too, can join the club and Stand UP against repression of Human Rights.

If An Owl Calls Your Name is a powerful new film that follows Indigenous Elders, healers, and activists from the Esk’etemc, Gitxsan, and Wet’suwet’en territories (now called British Columbia) as they walk the quiet path of healing after generations of forced assimilation.
Through story, ceremony, and connection to land, they carry forward ancestral wisdom, transforming the deep wounds of residential schools, violence, and cultural disconnection into forgiveness and inner reconciliation. Featuring Patricia June Vickers, her brother Roy Henry Vickers, and others, the film honors the sacred continuities that colonization could not destroy—and the return to ways of being that never truly disappeared.
This trailer offers a glimpse into the intergenerational healing journeys held in If An Owl Calls Your Name, part of the 12-part film series Wisdom of the Ancestors, filmed across five continents. 🧡 Available to watch by donation—even if that donation is $0. 🌱
