HEALING "Embracing the mystery of love
in its broadest sense is the beginning of healing.
Love throws you into the fierce liberation
of accepting all of life as your companion
and all things as your ever present, living support.
By risking an open heart and trusting that pain is growth, there is no battle in life that can not be overcome
and overwhelmed with the deep joy of life lived.
Look to that which is heart felt, no matter the cost, and the reward will lead to a peaceful spirit
and to relationships that are rich
in texture and depth. A life of joy is found in living each moment
in good relationship."
~ Chuck Skelton "Last fall (2014) the chiefs of the four tribes of the Blackfoot assembled to take a stand to protect Badger Two Rivers the last of the Blackfoot sacred places highly important to the Blackfoot elders and the people. Directed to the United States government the Badger Two Medicine Proclamation is a proclamation of strength and inner-tribal support. Within this very strong statement to the US Government the chiefs of the four Blackfoot tribes (I US tribe and 3 Canadian tribes) of the Blackfoot Confederacy declared: The Blackfeet Tribe joins the members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to proclaim that it will not consent and will not approve any energy development within the Badger Two Medicine and vigorously oppose any proposals for such development."
