Osennontion: I want to emphasize that we believe our Creation Story—that we don’t need any other explanations nor does there need to be any great analysis or any great scientific substantiation for it, because we believe it! You are right when you say that we know it to be the truth, and so if someone believes otherwise, then let that one prove to us that it is not the truth.
From Osennontion and Skonaganleh:ra's "Our World" in Monture-Angus's "First Voices; An Aboriginal Women's Reader." Both are Kanien‘kehá:ka women. Monture-Angus is also Kanien‘kehá:ka iirc but i could be misremembering
Many of them AREN'T atheist though and policies of pushing ATHEISM as a proselystising religion led to residential schools in the USSR so i don't think it's a great idea!
Ah yes, the monolith of indigenous people, not a single one of them have ever become atheist, no sir
Yeah and its not like any of them say that their stories are just stories that they used to explain things that they don't know.
their way of life is so simple and mystical
