A Bureau of Land Management Wild Mustang –
An Albino Horse I Named “Wounded But Not
Broken”
A MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF
THE BIG BEND
BY: OSHAWANNA WHITE EAGLE
In order to find “COMMON GOOD FOR ALL” we can start by asking ourselves one single question. . . DO YOU
BELIEVE IN LOVE? And to believe in love one must have virtues of kindness & compassion. So like the U2 song
titled PRIDE (In the name of love) the lyrics tell us to WANT MORE IN THE NAME OF LOVE. So as I continue to write
my message it comes straight from my heart to my brothers & sisters of mankind.
It has been scientifically proven that all wildlife, plants, trees, water, and every stone have the same DNA
genetic markings as HUMANS. As a Native American, it is our belief that all of Earth is ONE big family & the white
horse is a messenger from the Universal Creator. As part of DNA genetic research the ancient bloodlines of
Native American Indians are of interest due to their ability to survive against repeated annihilation attempts
which date back prior to the Ancient Egyptian Era. The next ancient DNA bloodline on our planet is that of the
WILD MUSTANGS & BURROS. For they are labeled as “EXOTICS” for they migrated to this continent just the same
as the Native American Indian Tribes who crossed the Siberian bridge through Alaska when the two continents
were still connected. Other bloodline descendants of the mustangs as well as Ethiopian slaves were brought by
ship by the Spaniards when they came and militarily conquered our lands. Interesting enough all Native
American Indians have African blood in their DNA.
With all the DNA genetic research to look for weaknesses the only thing that has been discovered is that
“EMOTIONAL PAIN” is what causes our DNA to mutate and make us susceptible to disease. Which is where the
term “ALBINO” comes from which is a genetic mutation. These types of research have helped determine which
markers contribute to different type of cancers within DNA bloodlines.
All of this research is being done by Texas A&M University on behalf of the Bureau of Land Management. This
research has proven that our WILD MUSTANGS & BURROS are being MANAGED FOR EXTINCTION. So the
question I ask is……what is that telling us about the human race? Unfortunately the majority of our WILD
MUSTANGS & BURROS of the Big Bend are ending up in the meat slaughter plant in Mexico. As I have tried to
communicate, “WE” as mankind owe a tremendous debt to the WILD MUSTANGS & BURROS. But instead we
treat them with such little dignity and allow them to be sold for cents on the pound to European Markets.
This isn’t the first time the Government has allowed our WILD MUSTANGS & BURROS to be killed, as written in the
book, “Radical Hope - Ethics in the face of cultural devastation” by Johnathon Lear.
“In the 1st slaughter the government said that about 40,000 head were
exterminated, but the Crows said it was more, including many tame ranch
horses, which the gunmen preyed on when it got difficult to find the WILD
HORSES. Thus by 1930, the great & proud horse people were bereft of
Horses…To say the least this was traumatic & tragic experience for a proud
HORSE oriented tribe, it was worse than actual military defeat.”
The Natives knew they could not survive the wilderness as “I”, but rather as “WE”. It was putting family and the
CHILDREN first that allowed this ancient bloodline to survive against all odds. So when do “WE” as mankind
break the shackles of Government which have created separation for the FAMILY OF MANKIND? We could
start by being the voice for those that that do not have one. “WE” could also lead by example and teach our
CHILDREN so that they may carry forward LOVE & COMPASSION in their hearts for the ONE family of Earth.
And just maybe, as we come together as ONE people to save these magnificent animals we can all find
healing from the “EMOTIONAL PAINS” of our ancestral past and bring healing to the land of the Big Bend and in
the process somehow save ourselves.
“Stealing horses is stealing power” was a statement made frequently in historical
native America and a reference to the esteemed role which Horse played in the
native cultures. In understanding the power of the Horse, you may see how to strive
for a balanced medicine shield. True power or wisdom found in remembering your
total journey. Wisdom comes from remembering pathways you have walked in
another person’s moccasins. Compassion, caring, teaching, loving, and sharing
your gifts, talents, and abilities are the gateways to power. In allowing all pathways
to have equal validity, you will see the power and glory of the unified family of
humanity. The “I” has no place in this whirling Rainbow that comes from the
Great Mystery and is replaced by the universal “we”. All colors of the rainbow and
all pathways are honored as one.
