The Tiwanuku Ruins

The following is a Memoir by Dr. Chief Ikway Michine.

The pyramid in Bolivia, South America, which our ancestors contributed to building, remains the gathering place that is now protected and called “The Tiwanaku Ruins.”

The second inauguration of President Avo Morales, the first Native person to be President of Bolivia in 500 years, took place at the Tiwanaku Ruins before a crowd of millions and hundreds of world leaders and representatives. I was invited to represent all Native Peoples of North America.

I attended this function. As one of only sixteen countries, I walked up the Temple steps as depicted in the image above. I presented President Morales with gifts from Our Nation, followed by attending the opening of the Legislature with the male Chief, who previously was our representative and had participated in and sat on stage with the Latin American countries presidents at the ALBA.

On behalf of our Sovereign Nation, our Grand Chief was present on our behalf as an honoured guest of President Avo Morales in recognition of Native Rights.

Tribal DNA Research into Native Peoples, genetics and verbal stories found that the oral history of the Native peoples of North America and South America is factual, and the DNA affirms our oral history and confirms the facts of Our People:

Our DNA as a Nor-American People is over 52% from South America's Amazon and Andean regions.

Utilizing the “mothers,” Bacha Mama’s Rivers, our ancestors disappeared from the lands of Bolivia that they arrived upon from the stars. Following directions and dictates of the grandmothers, they dispersed those genetics throughout the waterways of the Mississippi Valley, its tributaries, and the Northern Gate.

Nor-American Native DNA is widely dispersed along all waterways of North America as Our Village, Our Home, was named by Our People of many generations of descendants as those called the Tiwanaku People.

We are Kanata, and as symbolized by the Turtle, we carry our home with us; We are our Home.

In our language, as in the language of the Tiwanaku Branch of our ancestors, “Kanata” does not mean “village,” as was claimed by the French visitors, but identifies a separate sovereign nation of People; a People, a culture, a way of multigenerational life.

We are separate entities and guardians of our future and our Mother, and as matriarchal inheritors of the land, resources, air, and birth waters of. From Our mother, our claim cannot be diminished or reduced. We are separate beings; We are “Kanata.”

Within our Culture remain the beliefs that the past is directly in front of us and that with eyes limited to facing forward, we can only see the history where we have been inclusive of the decisions made using the gift of free will.

These are also the beliefs of the current South Aymaran People.
