Spirit Talk Gathering - Native American
Description
Oki Ni-Kso-Ko-Wa (Hello All my relatives) – This is the traditional greeting of all Blackfoot people. It can be used in a pluralistic sense or singular as the situation dictates. What this greeting implies is much more than what initially meets the eye. It is an acknowledgement that says that no matter who you are or where you are from, I recognize that you are my relative, a part of my DNA deserving of respect and kindness.
Oki Ni-Kso-Ko-Wa – is used in all areas of our lives. When we greet the Morning Star and acknowledge our eternal and life sustaining connection to our Father. When we greet Mother Earth and acknowledge that She is indeed our true mother and our initial responsibility is to her before all else. The greeting says that we KNOW that through all things of material and etheric substance there is a common thread of DNA, which originates in Mother Earth and then is disseminated throughout the genetic makeup of ALL things, from the Grandfather’s we call the Stone People to the human physiology that we have presently incarnated in.
Oki Ni-Kso-Ko-Wa further implies that because we consider all things as part of us, that we have as great a responsibility to maintain balance, harmony and peacefulness in those whom we are greeting as we do to ourselves. It implies that we are willing to go to whatever lengths necessary to maintain balance and harmony in those who cannot on their own, follow the process of self-healing.
