Message from George Meegan #4 Hope from the land of the polar bear 2002
"HOPE FROM THE LAND OF THE POLAR BEAR"
An addressed to the First Nation Peoples, Worldwide.
If the title above means anything to you, or your community is on the edge, then read on. I will endeavour to be brief. The general view today is that Native communities throughout the world, after the greatest of rearguard actions, some stretching back across centuries, are finally expected to collapse within the next twenty years or so. Your cultures - a treasure to the world - with of course your languages will finally disappear. Many, indeed most, have already and long since succumbed. Current situations are bleak; in many cases tragic. The nightmare of social disintegration are everywhere apparent, you know the problems. Over the years I have met nobody with even a ray of Hope. Sad to say, it all seems so inevitable, doesn't it. There seems no way out.
HANG ON !
THERE IS A STRATEGY WHICH CAN BRING YOU THROUGH.
The 23rd January 2001: A group left the polar bears of Point Barrow and made a morning's journey on foot. It met a former Special Air Service soldier who parachuted down,making the last act of the Century. Both he, a Mr. John Bitters and I carried various documents including key, "Hope - From the Land of the Polar Bear." This is your strategy. Incidentally, this title comes from an ancient First Nation prophesy of some 500 years ago.
THIS IS IT.
THERE IS NO TIME LEFT FOR IT TO BE ANYTHING ELSE.
The Government of Canada and the Bureau of Indian Affair of the USA, amongst others, including Pope John Paul II at St. Peter's Basilica, Rome, have also made their Apologies to the First Nation Peoples of the world. Timing and also the central Survival Strategy, in essence the sweeping Education reform dropped onto Point Barrow. It culture centres childrens' education - your children - and it can give them feet firm in both cultures,by returning your own culture back to You, to be bolstered and eternal. The current education systems operated worldwide are Cultural Destruction Engines. [This point was recognized by the BIA Apology.] And not just for native front-line cultures either, but all cultures. America's fiercest agency, I speak of the Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS), had their experts review the Strategy over some two years and came to the conclusion, that this could in fact work. They thereupon issued the very rarely given "Extraordinary capacity" visas and thus immediate "green cards" to all my family. Only in the region of 300 such visas are issued per worldwide annum worldwide. Even the lawyer involved decided to take no payment! Yes, I assure you, this is FOR REAL. The time frame we are looking at is about 12 years, from a start. This should be enough to see clear signs of change and a single generation of 30 years should see the community safe. That is in the lifetime of many who read this. We are not looking at incremental improvement either, but a sea change. All social indictors should be up to or towards normal, or better than normal. I, for one, do not consider current mainstream America as there, yet. For the Peoples it must be better, not so much worse, as it is today.

A first attempt to make this come true will occur.
Go to the beautiful land of Nitassinan, Labrador, Atlantic Canada, home to the courageous INNU FIRST NATION. The village of DAVIS INLET (pop.500) will move to SHANGO BAY [18 km.] which at about $150, million (Can.) is the most expensive and thorough project of its kind in the world today. The INNU of Davis Inlet still have their own language. (Immensely helpful, but not necessarily crucial for cultural survival.) They are internationally famous for there many run-ins with the Law, to save their culture.
They currently suffer terrible levels of child suicide and sniffing gasoline. Most Canadians know them for this. The turning point must begin with the big move. If still, after everything, you have the courage left to hope, then do contact me. There is not much time.
This must be a last chance or thereabouts. No matter how dark the present, you really can save your culture; for the world and for always. Contact me. I will get you back a copy of the strategy. There is no charge; it is from my pocket.
