'State of Emergency for the Salish Sea' in Seattle, Live Day 3



'State of Emergency for the Salish Sea' in Seattle, Day 3

SEATTLE -- "I belong to the Creator," Ginger Cody, Morning Star, said, speaking now on Friday evening. She appreciates this gathering. "You need to come to a place like this, where people are talking about what you feel."

"If we don't stand up, who will?" she said, sharing her life in the movement.

"We were with Leonard Peltier," she said, about being with the American Indian Movement.

"Who is our sovereign? It's the Creator, that is what my people, the Anishinaabe say. I am Bear Clan, so the bear is my family."

She said they had to rise above the colonization, and learn who they were, through the culture and ceremonies. The men knew that they had to listen to the women.

"We had very sophisticated societies." In earlier times, there weren't teenagers, young people weren't just irresponsible -- they went out and fasted, on their vision quest, to find out who they were, and who they were to become.

Honor, courage and being brave, these were the ways they learned.

Five hundred years ago, you could drink from the river, and so many birds would darken the sky.

"All of those waters lead back into one."

"If you ever need healing, just go to the water."
