Within those prayers, we also pray for the awaking to the fact of not only did the world NOT come to a close… BUT, given one LAST chance to change for the better in all lifestyle choices between mankind and the universe.
Fraudulent Hype
This article is only being written, to once and for all put to rest the ones out there who take such great pleasure to sit behind a computer and cause doubts and offer inaccurate information …
As mentioned, keeping facts straight to these people is so like a children’s game of where all sit in a circle tells a story or gives a phrase and by the time it goes around it never is the same as the original that was started.
First off, it has already been totally explained in our newsletter, exactly why there was a split away from the RedNation of the Cherokee to become RedNation. This information can be found to the right of this screen located in the “Archives” November 2010 here on our news letter.
If these people had read the accurate information from the newsletter, it does say the split was because a former colleague went political away from the “Teachings” of which was what the entire basis of RedNation of the Cherokee. The Medicine Elders and others whom supported the endeavours ‘ turned away that support totally.
In this process, there also came a major division of the Head Medicine ShaunaSay WhiteFeather from this colleague. Neither could work together again for the same purposes, in any way for the people as a whole. The path of politics is to far removed from that of spirit.
I, ShaunaSay WhiteFeather was invited to go to Australia at that time, temporarily to meet with the Aboriginal elders and talk of continuing the ideals of teaching what is left of Nations and tribes ways and customs and combine all knowledge so all would not be lost with the old ones journey crossings. The decision was then made to rebuild and restructure and yes, relocate the Nation. If one would take time to once again read the website, there are no more “Chiefs” but the head of all Chiefs and that is the Creator of us all, of every Nation and Tribe all over the world and universe. The ones mentioned as our “Leaders” are our Elders who walked this Earth long before us as EXAMPLES to follow. Not unlike any other Grandparent, Mother or Father of any race or culture on this Earth.
I was told by an old Baptist minster a long time ago, “The closer you walk with the Creator and try to do what is right, the evil around us that influences mankind, and the ones that follow evil willingly will do everything to discredit the good you try to do”… After all these years, many have tried to discredit the work of this Nation and make a mockery. The best that took place was keeping the trueness of the Spirit and Heart which could not nor will not be brought down by the malice in these people whose tongues Wag. Where is the crime and un- truth in preserving knowledge and reaching out a hand across the world in total acceptance of another human being and the acknowledgment of a person’s heritage and Red- Heart even if they may or may not fit the profile of what an Indian/Indigenous should or should not be?
Yes, it is inevitable that as long as we keep on this path of good, we will be ridiculed and back bitten by the ones whom do not wish us to continue. I wish to share a saying my own Grandmother told me long ago.. “You truly know who’s side you are on if the old devil himself takes notice enough to cause you heartache and pain”.
One more little quote before this subject is done, one we must all take into our hearts and our daily lives, according to the Keetoowah the definition of witchcraft is one who backbites… So let us all stay true to the Red Road and walk the path on which Creator has placed us.
Being here in Australia, I have seen and experienced so many new and wonderful things and peoples.
There also has been a comparison of older and similar experiences too. One older comparison has been such as when during my youth, seeing and wondering as children do, with that innocent curiosity of wanting to know the “why” of everything..
I wanted to know why a farmer would purposely burn to the ground, a perfectly good field. By asking an elder farmer this answer was given..
“Child there are several reasons, one being to kill off weeds and plants that choke out the good seedlings that produce the crops. Two would be to rid the area of certain insects which reproduce in multitudes, and eat the healthy leaves and sprouts before they have a chance to mature”.
Then the last reason given was almost verbatim what another farmer half way across the world told me here.
Which brings us up to the story of the Banksia Tree..
Purchasing my first Christmas tree was a unique journey by itself. Here in Australia there is a tree that is used as a traditional tree. With one huge difference from the ones used in the States, it is not the colour of pine green or even frosty white. Along with its most distinct colour, the meaning behind it makes this tree without even decorations added, more beautiful indeed!
The Banksia tree is a hearty little tree in the bush country of Australia. The one special attribute is that the only way it can and does survive and not become extinct totally, is for it to go through a bush fire. Yes, a full Extreme Heat Bush Fire!
The seed pods on the tree are so hard thick and tough, that intense fire is the only way the tree can reproduce and flourish. Now for the colour of the tree.. Normally green, after the fires of renewal it is as black as the ace of spades! But from what looks like death, comes life.
Those words of wisdom was given by both farmers on two complete hemispheres of the Earth..
“From death comes life”
Keeping this phrase in mind along with this special little tree, let’s do another simular comparison to Human life both Physical and Spiritual.
All mankind this year particular, has their mind set on 2012 December.. THE year the world is supposedly coming to an end..
Prophecies’ in all cultures and beliefs have been coming to pass before everyone’s eyes each and every day for years. The one misconception that severely has been misinterpreted and overlooked is this..
The world as we know it now, has for quite some time been going through its own bush fire of a sorts..Earth quakes, floods, temperature changes, and general up heavels of nature as a whole.
This is Mother Earth herself cleansing herself of all impurities, poisons, pollutions. She is literally vomiting forth all the toxins that have been thrown into and all over her, which includes part of mankind. But what has been misinterpreted once again, NOT all will be destroyed.
Like the Banksia tree all will undergo a transformation and begin again, not reincarnation, but rebirth!
The Mayan calendar in which many believes heralds gloom and doom of this world and its destruction and end, could not be further from the true meaning. The calendar was only a marker of the TRANSFORMATIONS CYCLES of earth and mankind. Which is the continuous circle of life, with death there is life, with life there is death and rebirth.
As man created many outward symbols like our circular wedding bands, that represents the complete sacred bonding of Love never-ending.. So, that it was to be between man and woman and the Creator of all whom sanctified this union. And with this sacred bonding and convent between the Creator and mankind, the total existence of both was spoken and written that neither shall pass totally away.
The survivors of creation will last eternally, unfortunately many numerous will die of all species of mankind, earth, and animal which will allow others to flourish and continue.
Once again, the cycle of life…
Mankind has been given so many chances to learn from the lessons provided, so many failing miserably on their own on the three major parts of the circle of life, this fourth time is final for the completion of man to be allowed to prove themselves void of bad intentions of the heart. The part of mankind that refuses to regain the fellowship he once had with all things in the universe.
So it has to be, to go through the great cleansing bush fire of the Creator of all. The rebirth will be the absolute and complete last stage fulfilled as it was intended from the beginning of time itself. This consists of truly caring for one another, nourishing with teaching, and communication restored with the Creator and one another. Therefore, opening up the universal seedlings of unconditional love once more, ending forever the wrong intentions of the heart. That is what mankind will be judged and sentenced by, the bad intentions of one’s heart against each other and nature in which we were given to take care of, not pollute and destroy. The weeds will be removed that chokes out the good, which is what will totally pass away, not the entire existence of mankind.
The Creator of all asked only these things of mankind, to keep communication between us and Him, live with only good intentions towards each other and most of all, do the very best you humanly can do one day at a time because we are not perfect like him. We do make mistakes; it is how we correct those mistakes that make the differences.
However one may, or may not, believe in universal aspects this is not a crime..
“Religion” is just a name tag placed on faith. Faith IS the true belief of one’s heart of intention with full knowledge and understanding.
There is a great bush fire coming of the great cleansing, the prophets has herald this for quite some time, have you been listening?
The answer you seek for your survival of this is and always has been very simple not complex.. CHANGE NOW before the great bush fire comes, do not be a weed that has to be destroyed.
“Have faith or die”…
Understand that it does not mean you have to rush and attend some brick or wood building to acquire your change. Although the true meaning of Church is: “A gathering place or} of peoples of the same beliefs”. Church is what we walk in every day; the actual house in which the Creator dwells is inside each of His creation. The Earth is our floor, the roof is the universe, and there are no walls because those are infinity.
Lastly as the Holidays are near upon us, people all over the world finally stop long enough out of their busy lives to ponder where they stand with faiths and beliefs and how they can better themselves in the coming New Year.
One extremely important message here, no matter how you have live your life in the past to present.. Never think yourself unworthy or not saveable from the great cleansing!
You can be like the little Banksia tree, you may have been turned completely blackened by the things you may have done, but your honest meaningful want to change and do just that. One will become absolutely stunningly beautiful inside and out, pristine once again. As my Christmas tree became with changing, by just placing lights, garland, assorted coloured balls, and tinsel and the golden angel topper…you cannot notice it is a black tree any longer!
The answer has been you and within you all along!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Some of you may notice that when a donation is made it goes to a paypal known as thedarkrealmz.com … The reason for this is that we had issues with the RedNation paypal that we are still trying to resolve 18 months down the track so for now the one held previously for another site hosted within the hosting we use is where the funds are directe. They still pay for the hosting and upkeep of this website, just we needed a means to allow you our members a way to donate without hassles… Our apologies if this created confusion and we hope eventually to resolve this.
Now to the Apology, it has recently been pointed out that I made a mistake regarding the Name of one ofour leading Ancestors… I had used the phone to speak to elders in the US to gather some ideas for this, and mistook Dragging Canoe for Dragon Canoe… Because of variations in accent this was not picked up and has been on the website for sometime, fortunately we are going through in the process of upgrading and now checking and double checking the entries and this was pointed out… My apologies friends for this error, it has now been corrected.
Sorry about the delays in the site upgrade folks, we have needed to re-examine the software being used to recode the site. After considerable testing we think we have found something suitable that will fix the issues we had with the menu system and make the site smoother and more functional.
The most difficult part in all of this is the fact that we have to run live, in that we cant really take the site down while rebuilding just in case we hit a glitch like we did… anyways you should begin to see the changes very soon and hope that they improve the experience…
Thanks for all the support and we look forwards to your feedback when RedNation MK III kicks in…

Dear Brothers and Sisters and Extended Family:
Just a note to remind all of the 16 hours difference ahead going by Central time of the States (before daylight savings time).
Sample of the time difference: 11:00 am Australia time would be 7 pm Central US time.
Also with the time difference, Australia is a day ahead of the US. Our Monday is your Sunday.
For conversion charts for other areas and countries, they are available on the internet, this was just one sample.
Or office is open Monday through Friday 11:00 am -7:00 pm Australian time.
As of our weekend Midnight (this coming Saturday) we go off daylight savings time…
Australia is +10 GMT
Wado! Thank-You

It has been brought to our attention, that because there are Elders and ones whom do not have access to a computer we need to place a snail mail address up for people to send to:
RedNation
14 Goorawin Rd
Orange 2800
New South Wales
Australia
We are concidering if enough members are interested, we may open a on line internet store of hats, tee-shirts, bumper stickers, writing pens, frig magnets, calendars etc. with the new logo/seal and the word RedNation upon them.
Please email your vote to: admin@rednation.org if you maybe interested.
Send in sizes needed for tee-shirts with your votes.. Hats will be adjustable base-ball type.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
A question was raised with all the changes within the Nation… “Will there be a yearly support fund required of all the enrolled members?”
The answer was decided some time back, that because of the financial difficulties most are having to endure with cost of living and income not matching to balance the two.. RedNation will not require that of its people. It has been totally left up to our individuals and families, if they can send what they can throughout the year to help with their Nation support, the one time registration fee of the ten dollars would be all that is required.
Yes it DOES take monies to keep going, and is nice to have so we can stay up with the electric, internet, phones, office supplies and equipment, printing etc.
With us being a non-profit it is just that.. there is no profit. We do not sit on a big mound of monies coming in, it usually as most know goes right back out for all the above mentioned and then some. Donations are greatly appreciated of any amount..
Would like to interject this most precious story here that just happened recently..
Got a handmade card in the mail from this little boy the other day, it had a seperate letter from his mother, who said with tears in her eyes at the time, she did have to help her son with the spelling and writing because he was only six years old… On the front of it was a picture drawn in crayon, of a full head dressed plains Indian Chief hugging an Australian Aboriginal Chief with full body paint of his Nation.. above the heads in the bubbles of what they were saying to each other was… “We are the same!”, “We are real brothers!” and underneth at the bottom of the card it read.. “Mommy told me, because we are all children of God, that makes us all brothers and sisters!”
Opened the card up and on the inside was three very shiney new pennies, taped very carefully to the card.. written again in crayon it said this… ” One penny is for one of my sisters, one is for one of my brothers there, because they may not have any pennies to give, the other is from me to give to help out.”
