John Trudell’s Dark Poetic Reality

More Native American Heritage –the poetry and thoughts of John Trudell.  This is a small presentation of an often ‘invisible’ element of Native American life –the activism, poetry, world view of John Trudell and others like him. Clearly,  based on these few videos there’s more than poverty, suicide and despair on the minds of America’s Indians. They share the same value for the Earth as other Indigenous People around the world.  Listen close because Trudell has paid a high price for speaking his mind.  Agree with him or not, I doubt you’ll accuse him of shoveling any bs for the sake of bs.

    Thank you Eva for introducing us to John Trudell. He speaks my mind and I hope he is heard widely.

      Lynn, lately I find it more and more important to discover others who share important common ground. I’m glad Trudell gave voice to your own thoughts.

        I will write about it tomorrow and will make something for the Native North America Day. I make it near a oak on the land to connect the old European tribes with their far away friends. It is the story of the Donar Oak, the tree of life.

    Found his poetry very thought provoking…since I have not heard him before…I appreciate the introduction to his work. 😉

      Charles, considering how much you write about social issues and such, I’m sure you and Trudell share some common ground.

    Listening to Trudell, I found myself agreeing with a few of his thoughts. I do think that the earth is a living entity that will tolerate us only for so long. There have been other extinction episodes in the history of life and we will eventually meet our bottle neck. Thanks for the primer on this poet.

      Al, glad you found some common ground in this little introduction to John Trudell’s ‘existence’. The first time I heard him on a KKFI program his words blew me away. I find his perspcective and expression very stimulating. Also found it very interesting to wander on youtube and see how others have incorporated his music/lyrics into their videos.
