We don’t hit kids. I’m sorry, but we don’t. I share the same peach limb stories; I have heard our Elders trade stories about corporal punishment and I even remember a few slaps in the mouth.
The world is different, again. At one time they say we treated our ᏗᏂᏲᏟ like adults and watched them like hawks, we guided them with a soft touch through the perils of the natural world and we learned through natural consequences.
Correction came through speeches and stories, but that was long ago - then our ᏧᏂᎦᏴᎵ met a new way and the world that tore into ᎠᏂᎦᏚᏩᎩ lives was dangerous, deadly and still is.
They had to tighten the reigns and change the rules. The world was too dangerous to let our little ones have the autonomy they deserved, the change protected the babies from much worse. We needed to create artificial consequences to prevent fatal natural consequences. Maybe we still do. I spanked my son, but don’t need too now - maybe I never did.
We don’t live in the communities of our ᏗᎩᎦᏴᎵ, there was safety in ᏗᎦᏚᎯ but not in this world, ᎯᎠ ᏲᏁᎦ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎦᎾᏰᎩ
ᏗᎩᎦᏴᎵ did the best with what they had, and we still live in that ᎦᎾᏰᎩ ᎡᎶᎯ and its clear that it’s even more dangerous today than it was yesterday. There is violence from every corner and they don’t even make school a safe zone. The ᏗᏂᏲᏟ have learned to strike back, like ᎤᏦᎾᏘ they rattle their tails and learn the ᎩᎦᎨ ᎦᏅᏅ
ᏍᎩᎾ ᎤᏁᎦ ᎦᏅᏅ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᏧᏙᏍᏛ ᏚᏂᏲᎱᏏ
I cant blame them, their parents, the video games or MMA, but I know unless I am part of the solution I am just as much to blame as anyone or anything else.
ᎠᏂᎦᏚᏩᎩ are not bullies, and we should not bully ᏗᏂᏲᏟ, and we should not suffer them to bully one another.
ᏗᎾᏟᎯ do not bully, and only walk the ᎩᎦᎨ ᎦᏅᏅ to protect. Our ᏗᎧᏃᏩᏛᏍᏗ is ᏚᏳᎪᏛ
ᎠᏎᏛ ᏕᏣᏕᏲᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ
