​Around 35 Indigenous delegates arrived safely in Rome, and that included Kaluhyanuwes and Katsitsionni. They met at the Embassy of Canada and went to the Holy See after a day at the Vatican. 


There was a meeting with Cardinal Marx Ouellet and Cardinal Michael Czerny. The Métis and Inuit delegates have already met with the Pope, and the First Nations delegates will meet with the Pope this Thursday. 


A general audience with all Indigenous representatives will also be held with the Pope this Friday. Kaluhyanuwes is talking to Paul Gibbard, Canadian Chargé d'affaires Representative of Canada to the Holy See. 


I am proud of the mother Kaluhyanuwes and Grandmother Katsitsionni as they lean into this historical call for justice for our babies who never made it home from the nurseries of hell called residential schools.

​

The silence of our babies voices will speak loudly inside the house of the abuser. Haudenosaunee Mothers are on a mission to carry a message of epic impact to the Vatican in Rome in the coming days.  


Two weeks ago from today, March 22, 2022, I declined the invitation (from the Pope); instead requested for other delegates to go in my place.  Katsitsionni Fox and Kaluhyanuwes Shenandoah Powless stepped up to my request to deliver a reverberating Empty Cardboard mandate to Pope Francis calling for a reverent accountability to all Onkwehonweh upon whom his institution inflicted harm. 


The world must know about their role in the spiritual, cultural, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse at Residential Schools of Onkwehonweh children on turtle island.  


An apology is needed for us to hear and heal; more importantly it's time for the abuser to stop the behavior and to uphold accountability to the harm done.  


Additionally, a letter form the Elders Council will be delivered and the call for the repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery will also be included. Katsitsionni Fox and Kaluhyanuwes Shenandoah are traveling with a larger delegation sponsored by the Bishops of Canada to meet with the Pope. I am grateful for their sacrifice and their courage. I pray for their safe passage. Mommabear

​The sacred Empty Cradleboard Mandate was given to Canada's Parliament on July 1, 2021 by the Iroquois, the Haudenosaunee League of Nations, formally. With tears and sadness, the spirit of the lost children made their voices known to the hearts of the Haudenosaunee, and all who participated, on that powerful day.

The words that soon follow are spoken by the wise elder, Mohawk Bear Clan Mother, Louise Bear Herne. With utmost esteem, she expresses the deep and crushing emotions felt by her and her people from the inhuman and ghastly treatment their families and children have had to endure through the ages.

Mass graves of indigenous children found that summer is an ongoing heartache. But what is most remarkable, and is note-worthy to the greatest of degrees, is how she, and they, have handled themselves amongst the most grievous of circumstances.

These People of the Long House - the Haudenosaunee - teach us well, with their sacred ways, how to act in grace, peace and power when the world must feel inconcievably cruel and unkind.

They are leaders in our time - Keepers of Original Democracy - and they will assist us through the darkest of truths soon to be revealed in our own world. May we listen and learn. Bear Clan Mother speaks....

"Feel the rage Indigenous communities, but be responsible for it.  We recognize that anger and vengeance never heals. Let’s NOT become like them. Because no one will feel it more than our grandchildren.  And it is Canadian children who will carry this horrific legacy. 

To all Onkwehonwe peoples of this great land and to Canadians who believe in a greater humanity, let us lead each other toward what the world needs right now.  Let Peace be our journey and let love be our fuel for we are the generation those innocent babies were waiting for. 

Let us bring them home to a world they didn’t get to live. Let their memory live in the cradleboard. A cradle of love filled with truth, understanding and kindness for one another.  The threshold of our pain is the entrance to our triumph!”  Mommabear

Bear Clan Mother Series #5

The Canadians are our neighbors to the north and we greet them. In gratitude and in grace for seven months, a growing Circle of Freedom friends have been in conversation with the Mohawk, Bear Clan Mother of the Haudenosaunee League of Nations (Iroquois) and her tribe of women. She is Louise Bear — Bear Clan — of the Mohawk Nation. She holds the title, “Lakoiane,” as one who has the authority to give names and re-call names in order to protect the lands for future generations not yet born.

Their territory moves in sovereignty over the border between our two nations. The name, “Canada” is Kanata in Mohawk and translates to “village” or settlement, and Akwesasne is the name of the Mohawk Nation Territory. Akwesasne translates to, Land where the partridge drums.

The name, “Kanata” was given in the 16th century with the intention that it be used to name designated lands, but it was done so under specific conditions. The conditions agreed upon were listed in a treaty between the people called, The Two Row Wampum.

Peace is now sought this Canada Day 2021 for broken promises through the new mandate presented by the Iroquois to the Canadian Government called, The Empty Cradleboard.

She, the Mohawk Chief and family, addresses Marc Miller, a Minister of Indigenous Services and member of the Canadian House of Commons. Location: Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Canada. Date: June 1, 2021.

​Mohawk Bear Clan Mother Series #4
​

When the Lady of Freedom reached the top of the Capitol dome at noon on December 2nd, 1863, the horizon registered 29 degrees Aquarius with a sun overhead at 10 degrees Sagittarius. Such a high degree as 29 is called an “anaretic degree,” or degree of fate in Astrology. 


We look to the ascendent in Astrology, which is determined by first sacred-breath, or the moment when an event begins, to understand the nature of the event or the individual. The coordinates lay out the entire Star Chart. Lady Freedom first crowned the top of the Capitol dome in Washington DC  at high noon.


In a hologram we learn that within every part, every point, and every cell the whole is contained. With this thought in mind, we cast her Astrological Chart and look to the one degree of the Rising Sign of Lady Freedom to know her better.


The Ascendent (or rising sign) is known to describe physical appearances and first impressions. For me, it represents the very nature of who the individual is (taught by Barbara Hand Clow) whereas the sun represents the personality; the part of us that "shines" outward. The soul, symbolized by Pluto, (taught by Jeffery Greene) chooses the sun-personality before birth to help evolve the soul during a specific lifetime. 


Lady Freedom’s nature is to be found in the 29°of Aquarius - that of the humanitarian and the
rebel. To understand that both are two sides of one, we look at a coin. They have two sides and yet, both are one coin. Now consider when a nation is in alignment with the high-mind of the Humanitarian with just values and principled morals. Such a state of consciousness would allow for peace, but if that same nation found its principles broken and under tyranny, then there would be reason to rebel and revolt. 


She went up after the American Revolutionary War (also known as the U.S. War of Independence which declared us free of Britain), but during the same time of the Civil War when our county was divided. She is the epitome of what the United States stands for: freedom, justice, truth, and sovereignty. Her time is the present. In her past, she has been invisible and of unknown identity. Thankfully, veils have lifted.


Lady Freedom’s astrological chart (shown below) reveals something unique. The pattern is called a DIVINE INTERCEPTION (DI) (aka Barbara Hand Clow), and signifies a soul/spirit who has come in to this life with a serious mission. 


The first and seventh houses are Divinely Intercepted with the Lady of Freedom. What that tells me is that her spirit has "faltered" in a recent past life and has come back into this earthly life to get it no matter what. DI with the First House is naturally Aries and is concerned with one’s IDENTITY. It’s opposite house, and equally intercepted, is naturally the Seventh House of Libra which symbolizes the reflection, or the significant-other. 


The issues which must be learned in this life are about the intercepted constellations of Pisces and Virgo. One read on first house DI Pisces is about not being seen. At its highest, however it is the identity and vibration of Christ consciousness through sacrifice and the mystery of the sacred waters versus the seventh house which intercepts the constellation of Virgo.


Virgo is symbolic of the ancient Egyptian goddess, Isis Veiled. She is the Divine feminine who shields and guards the sacred mysteries. Only to those who prove themselves worthy will she reveal the hidden gifts she carries. As she is Lady Freedom’s reflection, she is also ours.


Interesting to note with the natural seventh house of Libra, we deal not only with the reflection and the significant other, we also have the Sky Mother who carries the cosmic seed. Libra is Isis Unveiled and she is pregnant with life, whereas Virgo is the Virgin, or Maiden. For me there is no doubt that we have the Universal Mother-Maiden exemplified in the Statue of Freedom.


With this in mind, let us look to the cosmic and philosophical translation of the 29th vibration of Aquarius through its Sabian Symbol by Dane Rudhyar to better understand the vibratory- nature of this remarkable spirit. There are no coincidences in the vibratory realm, only that which is attracted and or repelled. Think for thyself. 


​“PHASE 329 (AQUARIUS 29°): A BUTTERFLY EMERGING FROM A CHRYSALIS. 
KEYNOTE: The capacity to utterly transform the character of one's consciousness by radically altering the structural patterns of everyday living and the types of relationships one enters upon. 
.
Here what is emphasized is the process of metamorphosis itself. It is the fourth symbol of a five-fold sequence and it stresses the essential character of the activity required at this stage of the cycle; i.e. nothing short of a complete renewal of all the implications of being alive as a human individual will do. A radical change is needed. At this stage, this change is individual and mental, and it should be seen against the background of humanity as a whole. What is revealed is the potential ability of every human being to participate in a higher realm of evolution AFTER his or her emergence from a critical state of transition. At this fourth stage of the sixty-fifth subcycle the Keyword is METAMORPHOSIS. In spiritual terms, this implies "Initiation," i.e. entering a higher realm of conscious existence and there joining a sacred Company.” 


She invites us to transform and fly from the chrysalis, to leave the background noise - the cage of the matrix - and join “a sacred Company.” A balanced mix of old world and new world, Lady 
Freedom is both Earth and Cosmic Mother of Land and People. She was put here long ago to be here now for us.  But to see her, we must first see ourselves.

​1.11 Human Trafficking Day 2023: The U.S. Senate ratified the resolution in 2007 making January 11th the day we observe nationally as, Human Trafficking Awareness Day. In 2010, the entire month of January was dedicated to ‘bringing to light’ this dark and uncomfortable truth in our world and secured it as, National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. In 2016, it was enforced.


Indigenous communities around the world have suffered greatly from the ghastly slave and human-trafficking trade, but we are finding out there are no racial barriers to this fiendish reality. They do, however, show us the way.  


Lady Freedom Circle, in the past two years, has had the honor and privilege of being in conversation with the Mohawk Bear Clan Mother, Louise Herne and her close group of courageous women, as they were given the abhorrent news of their children. They, and their people the Iroquois Confederacy known as the Haudenosaunee (People of the Long House), have taken great strides, along with all their relations, to right this terrible wrong. 


We witnessed in them a great courage rarely seen and it arose from their deep pain and anger as they learned of their children’s mass graves in Canada. They then took it upon themselves to face Canada’s Parliament, the pope, and the Vatican to make things right and they did it with grace, peace and power. Their movement is called Rematriation which is in essence, The Return of the Sacred to the Mother.


What has befallen these heroic people cannot really be described in words; however, they do very much have their own voices and it is through the timely broadcast of Women Rising Radio, arranged by Katya Miller and supported by she and myself, that we are gifted with an intimate conversation with these remarkable women of our time.

​

Mother Law Is Now! 215 innocent children and counting as the threads of time and prophecy roll-out from the earth to unveil an un-comprehend-able truth. Our children's awakened bones reveal the horrific and deeply disturbing truth of a Colonial State Government committing a pre-meditated Indigenous genocide. 


Residential schools hid behind the name of a God in this heinous crime toward humanity. An unimaginable horror for any parent to live through. The mass grave of 215 Indigenous babies found at Kamloops BC is the transparent evidence that requires no judge or jury to find the Canadian Government guilty of this high crime. Who are these unconscionable and heartless people that came across the great salt-water? The karmic debt that belongs to Canada is now due and must be paid in full. 


In the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation, our babies are named under a matrilineal bond of a mother, and are hereby protected in a mother right. Mother Law is exempt from the foreign legislated policies that continues to belittle Indigenous people’s bond to the mother, and their inherent right to live in peace and thrive on their ancestral lands. 


If the government of Canada can't be accountable to the original mothers of this land and answer the question of “why they built their wealth by murdering our innocent children,” then they have no right to use our language to name itself as a country.


In my responsibility, as Iakoiane, Bear Clan Mother keeper of the title of Tehana’karíne, who’s inherent authority is to protect the lands for the future generation, I call into being the ancestral forces and motion  people with integrity to stand with me, in a rightful de-naming of the country of Canada. 


The law of the land is clear. Through the living legacy of Tsiokonsáseh, the Mother of Nations, and our Peacemaker, who vested the authority of giving names and the ownership of lands unto Clan Mothers on behalf of all generations not yet born. Her appointed stewardship has the right of full recall. Not just recall of her male leader, but also any matters that have not considered the unborn.


In adherence, upon the law of precedence, it is the matrilineal inheritance of the Kanien’kehá:ka people to have the continuity of nations to run in a mother line. To this day, as progenitors of our nations, and since before the arrival of salt water people, this perennial truth is the foundation of our Great Law of Peace, a law older than the dominion of Canada and its Queen.


In women's stewardship of the lands and our responsibility to protect the 7th generation, we know that our land and children were stolen by a foreign colonizer called Canada who waves an illegitimate assumption of authority crafted by a European paternal order known as Manifest Destiny. Canada never had the right to sign a death certificate to a rightful future for generations not yet born. 


It was with our Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) language that Canada is named, and since Clan Mothers have authority over names, we are Canada’s mother.  As Clan Mother, I wield the authority to recall our Kanien’kehá: ka name from the dominion of Canada and all its citizens.


Canada bases its pillars of law on precedence, then it is so, that, we, Indigenous peoples as natural born sovereigns to our lands, retain primordial title on behalf of our grandchildren and their great/great grandchildren times seven, to tell Canada and all its provisions that we re-matriate the name of Canada back into the baskets of the original mothers.


Our Mother Earth will no-longer be ceded to a violent rape before the eyes of the Original Mothers and their babies murdered upon Turtle Island, as long as the Sun shines, the Rivers flow and the Moon glows.

Bear Clan Mother Series #2

Louise Herne, Mohawk Bear Clan Mother of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, League of Six Nations (also known as the Iroquois) reside in the northeastern region of the United States and Canada. She is born of a specific matrilineal-line known as Iakoiane who are the Keepers of Tehana’karíne. Their inherent authority is to protect the lands for future generations. She carries the honor and the responsibility of naming the children, the people, and the land. 


I come to you as a writer to not share my words so much, but to share, almost in real time, the words and influences of this most extraordinary individual. Because so much has happened so quickly and in such a short amount of time, I will be brief and simply list events by date of which essays/blogs will follow with information. My intention is to set a “platform” here for the Bear Clan Mother to speak directly to you.


In February of 2021, Louise gathered her thoughts and set them down into a declaration titled, Kahnistenserah: Mother Law. Mommabear, as she is affectionately called by many, sensed a grave period of time was upon her and her people. She wanted to be prepared thus, she wrote the law. 


Circumstances quickly accelerated in response. Mother Law was declared in June of 2021, while at the same time, 751 unmarked graves of native children were discovered at one residential school in Canada (and there are many more). One month later, July 1st 2021, The Cradleboard Mandate was served to Canada and Parliament. One year after that, a series of powerful events were to ensue at the Vatican, in Philadelphia and Quebec, Canada.


Mohawk Bear Clan Mother received an invitation to the vatican in March of 2022, for a private audience with the pope. She declined, but sent her close delegates in her place to represent her and her people from March 28 to April 1, 2022.


4/1/2022: Cradleboard came home to the mothers from the vatican: Rematriation.

5/10/2022: Bear Clan Mother and her delegates went to Penn State University in Philadelphia, PA to address stolen lands and the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862. 

5/12/2022: Hugely historic, they met at Independence Hall, Philadelphia with Mayor and City Council members. The Haudenosaunee sat in the room where their ancestors sat where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Later that same day, they spent quality time at their Wampum lot, (Welcome Park) Philadelphia, PA

7/30 - 8/4/2022: pope apologizes but it’s not enough - Rescind & Revoke the Document of Discovery!!! Quebec, Canada. 

​10/12/2022: Mohawk Bear Clan Mother met with Mark Miller of Canadian Indian Affairs — September 30th will now be declared: EVERY CHILD MATTERS DAY. 


Prior to the Mother Law being written in 2021, Louise and a closely-related small group of women went to the city of Philadelphia in March of 2020 to “check-in” on a small parcel of land that was gifted to them in 1755 by John Penn, William Penn’s grandson. What they found was disturbing, to say the least. However, it did set them on a course that would burn through the next few years into an emotional conflagration as news would reach them, and the world, about the unmarked graves and ghastly treatment of their children.


Louise Bear Clan Mother, and her people, have guided us into the New World of which so many speak about, but have no clue to its reality. The horrific treatment suffered by these indigenous people of North America (that they call Turtle Island) are the same people who gave us democracy and The Great Law of Peace that inspired our United States Constitution. The Iroquois, which is Haudenosaunee in their language, are the Keepers of Original Democracy.


Full circle we have come. The pain and horrific injustices they have experienced are now clear for all to see — and we must see — otherwise it will be repeated. Disassociation is no longer accepted. Countless un-marked graves of indigenous children have been unearthed - children and babies who were stolen from their mother’s arms and families were beaten, tortured, sexually abused and murdered. 


Canada’s government and the Catholic Church are to blame and all who knew and said nothing. There will be accountability. It has already begun. The Doctrine of Discovery, a hellish and inhuman papal bull from 1472, that still holds sway in our legal and unlawful courts, must be revoked and rescinded. 


At the same time, while the world witnesses the First Nation Peoples' trauma and horrid injustices — Crimes Against Children and Humanity — we (in turn), are forced to see that countless children and women, from every nation and from every culture around the world, have also suffered from the same hidden elite/cabal/deep state monsters of power, cruelty and heartlessness. They are done. They are no more. 


We have all been imprisoned but could not see the cage through the trees. We are one human family and it has taken the Bear Clan Mother and her community of courageous souls, with their set of natural laws, to help us find the way out to FREEDOM as our hearts become one.


With great gratitude to our sisters and brothers of the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, Tuscarora, Leni-Lenape, we now begin to move into a Golden Age of Peace. May beauty be before you, behind you, beside you, above, below and within you. Niawen. 


Closing Notes: Look for Louise Herne's own words here to describe the events and dates listed above. Posts with more information, photos, videos and recent radio broadcast, can be found on my public Facebook page @EnvironmentalVoice. Also check on Facebook, Lady Freedom @ladyfreedomdc and website: www.katyamiller.com 


Use my Somatic Sound Therapeutics exercises I & II. They will help with the very emotional content and integration process as difficult truths are faced. We must stay strong and in our hearts for there is more to do and more to be revealed.
