Yo’Nas Da LoneWolf McCall-Muhammad, national director of the Indigenous Nations Alliance for the Millions More Movement, explains the similar histories of the Black and Native American peoples of America from a collage of photos during an exhibit held at Muhammad University of Islam in Chicago, Ill. Dec. 10.

CHICAGO (FinalCall.com) - Showcasing an exhibit that explored the rich and intertwining histories of the Black and Red Nations in America, the Indigenous Nations Alliance for the Millions More Movement, and its national director Yo’Nas Da LoneWolf McCall-Muhammad, hosted an enjoyable evening of information and culture.

Held at Muhammad University of Islam Dec. 10, the program featured standing placards depicting photos and research; a dance performance from the Mexica tradition; brief remarks from a Latina community activist, Nation of Islam Latino student minister Abel Muhammad, and Ray Muhammad, author of “144,000,” which aims to link the Biblical prophecy of 144,000 chosen to the connected fates of the Red and Black nations; and a keynote presentation explaining the contents of the exhibit by Sister Yo’Nas Da.

“We are one race, one world and we’re working together,” insisted Julie Santos, an activist with La Familia Latina Unida Sin Las Fronteras (A United Latin Family Without Borders), an organization fighting on the frontlines for the rights of Latinos in the city. “That’s where we belong—together, working on issues that affect us,” she continued, in her appeal to those gathered to support the protest of the deportation that will rip apart 35 Latino families in the Chicago area.

The primary entertainment was an exciting dance performance of pre-Hispanic ceremonial spiritual tradition from the local Mexica community. Adorned with authentic peasant and peacock feather headdresses on their heads, vibrant designs-in-the-making on their dresses, and bands of hallowed shells (filled with tiny metal balls that rattled to emphasis their movements) covering their calves, the dancers dedicated their stirring performance to bringing positive energy to the cause of the Millions More Movement Indigenous Alliance, “the unity of our people to create more consciousness and places of healing.”

Displaying an altar in the center of their movement, the dancers performed within a circle of those in attendance seated in chairs, “caressing the earth with their feet” and “receiving and giving the energy from the cosmos” to the audience. They concluded by teaching everyone a basic choreography of opening and closing in the four directions.

I am an American of Mexican descent and a devout Christian. I am somewhat concerned about the Nation of Islam trying to recruit Mexican Americans into their false beliefs. There is no major Islamic population in Mexico that I am aware of however.

However, some of the statments in the article are true. The Native American culture was destroyed by "Manifest Destiny" as America grew in the 1800s. The forced "Christianization" of Native Americans was a sad pathetic, and shameful part of American History.

The "black nation" has had its day, has shot its wad. They got the equivalent of the national debt in tax aid and piddled it away. The Hispanics now outnumber the blacks and the Indian people have the casinos. No one needs the black vote. Breaks my heart.

What I found interesting, but sad, in this article was the combination of Bible, Islam, pre-Hispanic (Aztec??) spiritualism, and New Age to come up with a cocktail of the demonic, fueled by anger.

The minions of Louis Farrakhan always leveraging for power by always using race as a means to divide the country.

The black buffalo soldiers were fierce Indian fighters. They won fame defeating the Indians out here in the west.

And the Mexicans were having problems with the Indians, here in the west long before the English Europeans got here.

Oh, I forgot. None of that matters. The white guy is always the evil one.
