mr -- a ---- Fr cree TINS 7 A A ND "A Family Tradition for 126 Years" Letters to the editor Four colored races on planet To the Editor: I have read with great inter- est the letters and articles con- cerning the Mississaugas of Scugog and their First Nation land claim discussion. It is interesting and might be of value to all concerned to take a .onger and more general view of the red and white races and how they came to North Ameri- ca. There are four colored races on the planet today and if we as- sume, and most people do, that they all started from one area and spread around the planet, this may be what happened. The geographic origins of mankind, of these four races, has been generally accepted as somewhere in the Middle East. The red race it would seem was the first out of the cradle and spread eastward through Asia. On their heels were the yellow men who pushed the red men on out of Asia and over the land bridge. into North America, leaving a few remnants that have since populated the is- lands off Asia's east coast. If one looks at Bucky Fullers map of the planet (he called it the di- maxion globe} which is separat- ed in terms of temperature bands on the land masses, it is easy to understand the spread eastward of these two races and their relationship to the envi- ronment in which they lived. The red race followed a wonder- fully temperate band of terrain that stretched across southern Asia across the Alaska land bridge down the west coast of North America and into South America, finding hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of lush country teeming with wildlife. The black race obviously moved south to populate the continent of Africa. The white race travelled to the west, they too following at first a warm temperate band but soon ran up against the At- lantic Ocean and for milleni- ums were bottled up in the more limited and harsher northern climates of Europe. It did not take long for the white race to populate Europe and a far dif- ferent culture developed than was happening with their red cousins in North America. With limited space and whites en- gaged in many territorial bat- tles and they developed technol- ogy to overcome their harsh en- vironment. They were forced to initiate agriculture and develop technology for war. Their phi- losophy became one of conquer- ing both nature and those other humans that encroached on their territory. Agriculture and war technology were their means of survival. Their red cousins in North and South America with almost unlimited real estate adapted to their natural surroundings and in effect went with the flow, de- veloping a far gentler culture in harmony with their environ- ment and far less concentrated on ownership of territory. By the time their white cousins de- veloped ocean crossing ships and sailed to North America there was a huge cultural gap. The red race being true to their "go with the flow" gentle cul- ture, welcomed the Europeans at first with open arms. The white race also true to their aggressive cultural devel- opment saw the red people as "primitive." Within a few short centuries the Europeans had "conquered the continent" and carried out a program of red genocide as had been their method of survival in Europe. The results are that the North American red race is now only a shadow of what it once was and the dominant white race in North America is only now wak- ing up to understand that the old "conquer nature" philoso- phy is obsolete, and that they have much to learn about living in harmony with the environ- ment as their red cousins once id. Perhaps to some this all may seem as an over simplification and indeed it is, for there are many variations to the story. In general, however, I believe it 1s what happened. So here we are, all races liv- ing in North America {I won't get into how the black race got here and the yellow race got here. Those stories are well doc- umented). What is important to under- stand is this. There is no going back. We are all here, the four races that once had a common origin. It has been a great ad- venture of all the races spread- ing around the globe during the past milleniums. We all have developed myriad of unique and valid cultures, one no greater or Turnto Page 1 17 Women Helping Women Rape Crisis Centre *» Confidentiality s*Accompaniment +» Non-Judgemental o» Referrals *» Public Education *» Survivor Groups *» Face to Face Seugog & f 24 Hour Crisis Line Support Counselling 579-8006 P.O.
