ONAC KM explains our independence

Thank you ladies and gentlemen, for taking your time in hearing what's to be said in this article, we feel it's important to share with you at this time, the present position and disposition of ONAC KM as the independent sapling church of Oklevueha that we are. So without any further adue, we now turn your attention to Sachem Hawkeye Graves as spiritual leader of ONAC KM.

Greetings. I come here today to ensure that some air is clear and that all persons with interest and or question to be able to see and know as coherently as is possible, the exact position and disposition of our church, which is Oklevueha Native American Church of Kautantowit's Mecautea.

First and foremost, it's important that you know and understand well, that we are an independently standing Free Church that is sprouted off of the blessing of Oklevueha Native American Church, but that blessing alone from Oklevueha does not the Kautantowit's Mecautea make. Kautantowit's Mecautea was blessed to me Before I was gifted the blessing of Oklevueha by the tribal council of my fathers grandmother... the Narragansett tribe of Rhode Island. Upon my receiving the blessing of and as Kautantowit's Mecautea (KM for short for those who cannot pronounce it and would rather not try at Least until you hear it properly spoken) I was already multiply ordained as a minister in and by several different religious faith based systems. Also too, I had officially established a church in the Pacific Northwest called "Soldiers of Jah Ministries" which was Non-Denominational inter-faith based in it's belief and teaching systems. SOJ as we call it was and remains a sacred sacrament practitioning church, primarily working with the cannabis and manna (fungi) sacraments, but not Just them by any means.

Accepting the trust and recognition as being among the Rainbow Bridge builders, and especially so when recognized and Honored as being a sachem (chief) among them, is truly one of the most honorable blessings I could ever be bestowed, and That is exactly what both blessings confirm as Kautantowit's Mecautea, which means in ninnigrit "Kautantowit = Great Creator" + "Mecautea = Warrior Soldiers who fight off evil and the enemy" and essentially the same meaning as "Soldiers of Jah" when you think about it. However, there is a difference between self declaring it, and then being Respected and Honored with it, and that difference as simply put as possible is this: "Obligation" meaning that so long as ONAC KM exists, which it is blessed to remain "As long as the trees grow and the rivers flow" we are EXPECTED to be the Warrior Soldiers of Great Creator who are to fight Off evil and the enemy... of creator, of creator's creation, and Then, the enemies of Oklevueha Native American Church.

If you can truly come to understand the importance of that, and how our failing not Only will bring shame and dishonor upon the whole of ONAC KM, but upon our ancestors, Especially my own ancestors as they're the ones who ultimately entrust my desire to fulfil the obligation that comes of it! Then too, it would reflect upon the whole of Oklevueha, including all of the independent limbs and fellow sapling branches, and most importantly and damning of all, We would reflect badly upon Great Creator, which would do only Disservice to the whole of the web encompassing our immediate creation and even aid in the ultimate condemnation of Mother Earth as well... I mean, look around and you tell me how many Churches you SEE actually Trying to protect and preserve Creators creation such as we and the whole of ONAC continue to strive and do.

But overall, as honored and truly Blessed that we as ONAC KM are to be blessed as a child of Oklevueha, we are and stand before you as our own independently standing and striving free church OF Oklevueha, we are not our mother - that would be Oklevueha Earth Walks Native American Church and no other, yet we all are one tribe as Oklevueha NAC, same as we are human and being, and just as that, so to are we needing to learn how to Be Human Beings, so to do we the whole of Oklevueha gotta BE what makes up the whole of ONAC.

It's important to us that you know and clearly understand that distinct difference, and that any and all things said and done by ONAC KM is just that in that it is the decision and efforts of ONAC KM on our own, it don't necessarily Guarentee that our Mother stand in approval of our words, and bet your Ass that if our actions and deeds got too far outta line, we'd get our asses spanked too just as you've seen in recent years being done on other ONAC's by our beloved Elder Council of Earth Walks. Those who don't want to straighten up, like in pre-columbian times, were cast out and no longer welcomed or trusted among the tribe.

Though we strive to remain in one accord with our family Oklevueha, and to seek nothing but the respect and praise from our mother Earth Walks, our OBLIGATION takes priority over it ALL. ONAC KM has a unique position, first by being ONAC which Believe me brings much question and more disrespect than it should, but second by being the only church being blessed As a Warrior Church, in and beyond the realms of ONAC. I and we all take this Very Seriously and whether or not you do, at least now you know Why we do and too, why we Do what we've done and continue to do as ONAC Kautantowit's Mecautea.

Now, onto the whole of ONAC... Oklevueha overall as far as spirit for the most part is to strive to be and act in accord with the ways of the tribal ancestors. In other words, our mother church Oklevueha Earth Walks is a very loving and accepting church by nature, meaning that they trust more than they don't including people that in time prove they shouldn't be. Because of this, and yet the ever-growing corruption in our world including especially right here on our very land, ultimately there's room for our church to be victimized, such as we've been seeing for over a year now in regards to our efforts of honoring and shielding cannabis as a sacred earth-based healing sacrament.

As many of you well know, Oklevueha officially established Earth Walks back about 1997 in Utah. Almost instantly it and it's founders came under scrutiny due to jealous resentment from others who lacked the Courage necessary to ignite the 7th sacred fire times in tribal prophecy. After the undisputible tribal authorities who decided and blessed it died, the smearing and slandering of ONAC and our remaining founders began flourishing, especially when Oklevueha was raided and 2 of the founders arrested and threatened with a lifetime in prison! These two founders, Flaming Eagle and Brite Hawk Mooney stood honorably and defended what was right as expected and obligated of them in Earth Walks, and ultimately by the time it hit the state supreme court, they won, but what Did they win is the question in My mind, especially seeing the smearing on they and our church continue be it by slanderous verbal attacks or wolves slithering in trying to exploit the jewel that is our blessing as Oklevueha Native American Church.

There were no official mecautea (warrior soldiers) blessed within Oklevueha back during those times, though there were mecautea spirited members, and fortunately for all of us today, our founders all, but especially the two who faced off point-blank with oppressor and not only stood the ground but proceeded to fight and win the battle DID fight and win the battle, else there would be no knowledge of any Native American Church belief custom or culture known outside the reservation Prisoner of War Camp lands where NAC aids in it's suppression and destruction still to this very Day as they continue to subservantely Accept whatever rule and required dictation given them by the government via the BIA. Oklevueha as a Whole will NEVER be a party to that and in fact STRIVE to stop and Reverse that objective and agenda!

As the wolves continue to mislead society down the destructive unpaved road of "Tax and Regulation" when it comes to our beloved mother medicine cannabis sacrament, ONAC KM will continue to willingly Jump to the front lines of it's defense and attempted preservation, because it is and will remain our Focal medicine, though again we say, not the ONLY of Creator's medicines that we use and respect as being sacred. This too, is our second notable difference between we as Kautantowit's Mecautea and our mother church Earth Walks.

It is no secret that the focal medicine of Earth Walks is and will always remain as being our beloved Grandfather Peyote sacrament - that is the battle Earth Walks and our founders fought defending back in 97'... All of our rights to use peyote and too, all of our rights to learn and practition in the creed, meaning the daily life's ways of our tribal ancestors. Though ONAC KM is NOT the first ONAC focal on cannabis by a long shot, nor are we the last, BUT make no mistake, when it comes to the battles needed to preserve it and our people, ONAC KM Will be visably seen at the front lines and you can bet your ASS on it that we will be!

As our members began coming under legal fire for embracing cannabis as a sacred sacrament, Earth Walks began noting there was a growing problem. Naturally Most the spiritual leaders already in operation Didn't want to see Earth Walks run the Risk of losing the whole of the rights of our church attempting to protect a sacrament medicine they weren't Using, and at that Time the peyotists were the Majority out of all Oklevueha spiritual leaders. The elders of Earth Walks made seemingly Endless smoke and prayers, trying to figure out what to do, and honestly, when all the BS broke out last year at the hands of Matt Pappas so grossly Victimizing not only our church in the ways that he was but too, the innocent people beyond Oklevueha that he ripped off while hiding himself behind our name, at least One of our 3 founders was ready to say forget it and stick with the safety of our exemption for peyote.

If Earth Walks decided to Disregard cannabis as being a sacred earth based healing sacrament of Oklevueha it would spell the ultimate condemnation of any hope of cannabis liberation not only in our time but for lord knows how many generations. We who know this medicine and see the sad state of our environmental situations KNOW that this in No way can Ever be allowed to possibly happen... too many people would suffer unnecessarily and too many people would DIE unecessarily, all because no Other church is Willing to make the stand in defense of our plant or people But Oklevueha... and because we are, we PAY. Tell us of any Other Threat to there complete dominion over cannabis aside from "Religion", aside from a "Bona-fide "Church" by their scrutiny and standard. ONAC remains the Only one of such kind Willing to stretch to the plant needing our protection for the best benefit of the whole of the web of creation because all need and Will be benefited by cannabis once the dust and smoke has settled and it's all decided and said and done whether it's done so right and honorable such as how Oklevueha intends to, or wrong and there exploitation and repercussions continue to harm our plant and people.

During the damage of Pappas, it was ONAC KM who stepped forward and jumped in and began the clean up and damage control process, as Honorable Mecautea should - it is our Job and our honor to do it. It was also we alone who literally BEGGED our elder council of Earth Walks and our founders directly to PLEASE not turn your back and condemn the people of this much needed medicine. They did not KNOW of the medicine first hand, and didn't want the problems hassle or grief coming from it, but for the sake of the members, reluctantly they agreed to hang on, but too, they Want SOLUTION, and too, they want affirmative ACTION on the part of we whom use and practition with mother cannabis sacrament.

Our mother church births us with the gift of the blessing that is "Oklevueha Native American Church" but too, they honor each of us for having our own individual identity such as seen in the bands of the clans that are the tribe. They want for us to grow and flourish in an honorable and healthy way, ever how long it takes they don't care and they'll nurture us as best as they can until we are able to stand independently on our own feet and merit as Free churches of Oklevueha. From 1997 through to 2015, Earth Walks have entrusted the blessing recognition of "Limbs" in the hopes that they would flourish into healthy branches and then clone off into independent trees of their own. I look at it as pine cones, a healthy tree produces healthy limbs and branches which sprout forth pine cones. In Creator's time, they drop from the tree, and as Creator wills, some sprout and others don't - those that do, not all grow healthy, and not all grow and flourish into a mighty tree complimentary to the forest of it's kind.

ONAC KM is strong, healthy and independent... we are Mecautea, it's the way we have to be because we're expected to be. My father was a war dog, he fought in WW2 and was a POW to the Japanese almost 4 years, then went voluntarily into Korea after and ultimately went on to retire from the Dept. of Defense. He's one of those ole school war dogs, and he, from as far back as I can remember taught me just like this: "There are two types of people in thei world little girl... soldiers and civilians, each to be respected equally in their own right, But, when the shit goes down and is needing to be done and dealt with, one Will Turn to the other depending and expecting it to be done, and we'll get it done little girl because We ARE soldiers and Creator expects us to."

In 2013 upon and up until the very moment that we were blessed as ONAC KM, it was agreed upon that I personally as the sachem of the KM tribe of ONAC would Do the martyr-ism needing to be done to protect this plant medicine specifically but too the rights, liberties and freedoms of the peoplee in as well as Beyond this church or the cannabis community and movement or Anything else. Creator created ALL creation and all creation has the right to BE and to be respected as they be until and unless they infringe negatively upon the majority of creators remaining creation - then we've got a problem, and as creator's Mecautea, you better believe we Will be there, just might take us a minute or two is all.

As you've seen back then with Pappas (which continues on still as many know), and too his cohorts ranging from the Charnel James to the Patrick McNeal's and all the little minion weasels in between and on there coattails trying to catch a shit-ton of there tainted crumbs like the Lisa Cargiles and the David Gaskins, you've continued to see today with his new minion wolves like the Lepps and there Sugarleaf's, and the Brent Fraser's and there new pile of all kinds of new churches, whether there harm is big like these, or small like the coattail riders like Scott Bates and his few new "Rasta" and "Circle of Cannabis Churches" or even as tiny as the Teppers of San Diego... no Honorable child would stand idly by while there mother was taken advantage of and Victimized in such permanently scarring ways as these people have caused upon our mother Earth Walks... especially the warrior children of the family which is what ALL the members of ONAC KM are and so To honor that honor, yes ONAC KM is has and will Always remain front and center, even if our own mother doesn't necessarily Appreciate our efforts - we are independent and therefore unique in our own right and are just as Creator wanted and intends for us to be.

The fact that These particular people have knowingly and intentionally done so to our Earth Walks, was strike one. When they did it also to our members and independent branches and churches, was strike 2, but when they do so to other Innocent living beings, strike F**king 3 - you're F**king Out. For every day that these people do so, especially having done so while reflecting themselves under the Oklevueha name, I've said it before and will say it again - you best to bet you've got our attention and we're heading toward a problem You're creating between yourselves and ONAC KM because we are the mecautea, we hold the shield protecting our plant, people and church against your coyote-like madness... you're ravid and we Cannot let you bring the HARM you so clearly recklessly want to do.

Earth Walks shouldn't have to learn about Our medicine unless they freely Choose to, nor should anyone else and especially so when it comes to using it, it should be a personal choice inspired from within by Great Creator. Earth Walks shouldn't have to jump forward and protect us as if we're helpless little children either, nor be expected to, every single one who sought and attained membership in Oklevueha were grown enough to know they wanted to make this decision and as much as our founders and elder council might be willing- they cannot walk your journey of life for you, they, as we, can only walk with you offering companionship, support, and ever what wisdom and guidance we have to offer and share along the way.

We as the child churches of Oklevueha should not victimize nor allow the victimization of Earth Walks nor the elders and founders. We should not allow it to happen to any ONAC nor any other beyond ONAC that are honorable and deserving of better. Whether we look back at the Pappas damage of 2016 with his McNeal's or we look to the Pappas damage of 2017 with his Sugarleaf's and Lepp's, financially both raked in about the same tough it was nor will ever be enough for people like them as we continue to see as they freely prey on in there dishonorable deeds, but harm and damage wise, they are rapidly getting dangerously worse, Least we forget ALL the victims of there "Sugarleaf" August 1st in Oregon House. The damage they intentionally, recklessly and SELFISHLY caused that day Cannot be un-done in so many ways, it's irrepairable because you cannot un-shoot a gun or un-take a life, so there's no going backward now and better not be for them especially else it's another gross injustice for those victims there and too is negligence should they be allowed to continue to victimize more and more people as they have and still even now continue to try to do.

This is why ONAC KM says, does and behaves in the ways that we do as far as the whole of our independent chuch is concerned, and again, though we Do strive to maintain the close treasured relationship between KM and our mother Earth Walks, as with all parent/child relationships... there may one day come issue between us, as much as we Try to avoid and prevent it... it's just the way it is and will be. Our mother is a loving and nurturing type of a mother, a good mother, but sometimes it's the child that must act in effort of protecting the mother and the whole of the family.

Before I close, I ask that you look at it this way - the tribes hold the women as the most sacred of the tribe as they bear life which continues the tribe, first and foremost, then second, they protected the elders and the children because they too are of high importance - the elders have the wisdom that the children which are the future will one day need from them. The "men" (and some women too though, and too, not All men) were seen, honored and depended upon as being the mecautea - the warriors of the tribe that would protect and defend the whole of the tribe, without they and there effort to do so, would result in there being no more tribe. ONAC KM are the mecautea, and though spiritually speaking we are Not the only ones who are mecautea, we are to be the martyr As the mecautea, for for Creator and the whole of Creator's creation, for all the people of ONAC KM as well too as of Oklevueha, and for all life within the whole of creation.

Though we may end up in moments of upset with one another as all families do, ultimately when everything's said and done Oklevueha Native American Church Kautantowit's Mecautea stands ready to protect, preserve, defend and shield all who stand honorably for the greater good of all creation. If you AGREE, then please, check us out a bit more and seriously consider joining us.
