Elder Vision
What if I told you there was a vision in America long before Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. had his dream. In no way am I trying to discredit or shy away from all the wonders and wisdom Martin Luther King Jr. brought into this world either. I want to use this platform as a way to inform those who read this a little bit about my own culture. That is the Indigenous Anishinaabe people of North America. I don’t want to get into the tragic events that took place because I like to look at the brighter sides of the picture, but if you haven’t learned about what really happened to my people to the core, I'd look into it. I don’t just mean the basic grade school history either because they sure do love to leave a lot of information out of those textbooks.

Owls Vision
There was a young native man named Precious Feathers, and while growing up, he had goals and aspirations to be the chief of his tribe one day. He was very much into the history of his tribe and everything it stood for, but saw the way his people were living currently and felt as if they had turned away from their roots and lost the way of living in which the elders had paved the way for. So he seeked out the elders one day, looking to go on a spirit quest. The elders helped Precious Feathers get ready for the quest and made sure he was prepared. After going through fasting, prayer, meditating, and the sweat lodge, young Precious Feathers was ready for his Spirit Quest.
