Roman Orona takes you on a journey around the world of Indigenous Music. Indigenous Cafe brings you music, conversation and inspiration from the Indigenous People of North America and the Indigenous People from all over the world.
On this weeks journey, we are traveling with a show titled, “Our Story To Tell.”
Your host, Roman Orona, expressing his thoughts on how healing generational trauma begins with “telling our story.” The speaking of the Native/Indigenous truth allows the teller to give an inspirational and truthful expression of what we have experienced in life. When we allow others to speak on our behalf, we give them our power and that story becomes skewed through the vision of someone who doesn’t know the truth from experience. The telling of our story as Native/Indigenous People has to come from us. Allies can not be our storyteller any more. If they want to help in getting the Native/Indigenous story heard, then help open space for it to be heard. They can speak of their historical truths and trauma their ancestors have caused even if they didn’t do it because that story is not ours to tell. We can then meet at the healing!!

On this weeks journey, we are traveling with quotes from The Virtues Project on JUSTICE.
Justice- the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness: to uphold the justice of a cause. Rightfulness or lawfulness, as of a claim or title; justness of ground or reason. The moral principle determining just conduct. -dictionary.com
Justice: At present the state of affairs is in turmoil, tribulations are manifold and the authorities have launched attacks from every direction. However, the invisible Hand of God is at work and the wrathful Avenger is watching over the oppressed community of the righteous and the pious. Things that were hidden will be revealed and realities that were unknown will become clear and evident. The innocence of those long-suffering and sanctified beings will definitely be proved and established, and every act of injustice, of iniquity and malice wrought by the evil-doers will be laid bare. The day-star of glory, as is prophesied, will shine forth from that land with such radiance that all men, high or low, of the rulers or the ruled, friend or foe, whether far or near, will be astonished and bewildered.
Now is the time for steadfastness. Now is the ripe moment for the stalwart warriors and champions to show forth courage and to demonstrate their heroism in the arena of service, until such time as God will exalt His Cause, will remove the distress and anxiety of His friends and trusted servants, and glorify those who were brought low among His creatures, to make them spiritual leaders among men, and to make them God's heirs. -Bahá’u’lláh, Fire and Light, p. 36
