MISSION STATEMENT

There is healing in the land

Four hundred plus years ago, Black People were tragically kidnapped from the Mother land of Africa. After being brought 4,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to America, (along with aboriginal copper-tone indigenous people who were already there), they were forced to cultivate stolen land and endured the most inhumane treatment possible.

After experiencing hundreds of years of chattel slavery, they were “supposedly” freed and promised land reparations. Unjustifiably so, even as we have entered into the 21st century, that debt has not been paid. As if that is not enough; today, as millions of Americans stand in solidarity with black people and chant “black lives matter”, the most naturally preserved parks, trails, lakes, rivers, water falls, beaches and LAND are still being hoarded. What does it all mean? Its simple! When it comes to black peoples ancestral, spiritual, historical, cultural and holistic relationship to the land, history proves indisputably; Black Americans have been thoroughly traumatized! Within the cell memory of Black Americans DNA, exist generations upon generations of unhealed abuse. However, as Black lives are given an equal opportunity to breathe the cleanest air, drink the purest water, walk safely on the earth (barefooted); as well as live on, cultivate and yes, also “own” the best land America has to offer; it is BBHC's firm belief that the generational wounds associated with the land will consequently be healed. Indeed, there is healing in the land.

From the hood to the land

Today, so many Black people pledge loyalty to the block, the city and the hood, not realizing that it is the “trauma” making that pledge and not us! Sadly so, this same “hood” we pledge loyalty to does not belong to us. In the past, many of us have painfully discovered this harsh reality when the brutal injustice of gentrification once again uproots us from the land. This consequently triggers our trauma and we are simply expected to deal with it as we are inhumanely removed from yet another place we once called home. The Black community has been repeatedly bombarded with the erroneous narrative that suggests that there is something admirable about wanting to live, struggle, suffer and die miserably in the “unnatural” environment of the hood; BBHC unapologetically challenges that old and dying paradigm. As many of us awaken, we are consciously choosing to transition from the hood to the land. We are no longer okay with someone else choosing our home for us. Period!

Mother Nature the greatest therapist

Prior to slavery, black people did not suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer etc. nor did we have “any” of the various mental health issues or addictions that we have acquired today. When we lived on, with and for the land, we lived in harmony with ourselves, each other, with Mother Nature and our beloved Creator. Therefore with the application of common sense, the voices of the ancestors within us , our experiential knowledge, as well as modern day science, we know factually that our complete healing will be attained as we make returning to a natural way of living our first priority. Indeed, there is no greater medicine nor therapist than Mother nature.

Our Protest is against trauma

We have determined that the most appropriate protesting we can do is to protest trauma. As our Equal rights are being established throughout the land, it is our determination to HEAL! If we do not heal, we will not be able to enjoy our constitutional liberties anyway. We must and will heal! Within this decision (which we consider to be blessed and backed totally by our Creator) exist our own paradigm; not one given to us by anyone but us! Healing “completely” the past, the present and future us is our greatest priority! The past us includes, the ancestors within, who were never afforded an opportunity to heal; the present us speaks for itself; and last: the future us represents our children as well as all future generations of people that will inhabit the earth. Just as generational trauma is passed on, so is generational healing!

This is great news! Moreover, neither colonialism, slavery, nor racism has been able to make us lose sight of humanity's changeless reality which is; Mother Africa gave birth to us all!” If you trace back the DNA in the maternally inherited mitochondria within our cells, all humans have a theoretical common ancestor. This woman, known as “mitochondrial Eve” lived between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago in Southern Africa”: NewScientist

As Black people heal, the most ancient DNA within all of humanity begins to heal. The relentless love that black people express towards the inhabitants of the earth is founded in the awareness that it was out of the dark black womb of our beautiful Dark Black Mother, that all modern day homo-sapiens (human beings) came to be. Knowing this motivates us to pursue our healing with an even greater determination and moreover inspires us to continue our relentless protest against trauma.

The What's Next of Protest

The wealth of white America as a whole was built on the backs of 300 plus years of “free” slave labor. This is a historical fact that cannot be disputed!

“In 1860, slaves as an asset were worth more than all of America’s manufacturing, all of the railroads, all of the productive capacity of the United States put together,. Slaves were the single largest, by far, financial asset of property in the entire American economy.” -- David W. Blight, Yale historian

Therefore, we believe it to be utter hypocrisy to make the United States government solely responsible to pay the debt of land reparations owed to Black people; particularly, when so many of the so-called “privileges” white Americans enjoy (even today) are a result of slavery and/or discrimination related issues. For example: Though Oregon was considered a free state; they had Black exclusion laws which stated that any Blacks attempting to settle in Oregon would be publicly whipped with 39 lashes; repeated every 6 months until they departed. To add insult to that profound historical injury was the devastating federal Donation Land Act of 1850. This act declared that 320 acres of land would "only" be granted to white Oregonian settlers and whites that had mixed Indian blood. This was the most amount of acreage that had been distributed to white settlers throughout the United States. To this date, that number has not been exceeded. As a result, millions of acres of land was granted to Anglo-Americans, increasing their population by 300 percent. Consequently, the number of white settlers now exceeded the entire indigenous population of the region, thoroughly upsetting the delicate balance and also contributing to the gentrification and genocide of thousands of Native people. In the language of the Land Act, Black people were explicitly excluded. As a result of these discriminatory laws, today, the combined population of Native and Black Oregonians is only 6 percent; with land ownership being lower than that!

With that said...

Black Butterfly Healing Center is elated to announce that we have received our first land reparations payment in full! This first LRD was paid out by a true Oregonian patriot who has given a generous amount of their privileged acquired wealth in order to help us crystalize the BBHC vision. A most needed historical thread has now been woven into the fabric of American culture. The money from this first LRD has been successfully used to purchase property and land in western Oregon. We have successfully taken the reparations conversation (and solution) out of the hands of government, and strategically placed it in the hands of WE THE PEOPLE; We consider this to be true Constitutional empowerment and true American patriotism.

This first LRD (LAND REPARATIONS DISBURSEMENT) has established a land reparations precedence and hopes to inspire many more LRD's in the near future! Much too often are the topics of land ownership and economic development viewed as separate issues were the healing of Black folks are concerned. We at BBHC challenge that misnomer boldly. The conversation and implementation of healing and land ownership are not separate issues! They are one; just as the breath and breathing are one!

The land and property is 100% Black owned and it's land equity wealth will be inherited generationally!

Our healing legacy will continue!

BBHC's vision and goal is for healing centers to be established all over America! All the names of persons that give land reparation disbursements or other relevant offerings to BBHC will not be disclosed. Those who give become one with the wings of the Black Butterfly. Through the soaring sky's of our success, those people (multi-colored butterfly's) fly with the Black Butterfly forever.

WITH COMPASSION,UNITY AND JUSTICE, WE CAN HEAL THE LAND

Land Reparation Disbursements(LRD's):

$9,000,000.00

At BBHC, we consider the issuing of reparations to be related more so to healing, justice and compassion more than we do one of “money given” by white folks. Reparations is synonymous with “repairing” and when something is repaired it means that that which was once damaged is finally at last- completely healed! And! Though the healing may begin with black Americans ;IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T STOP THERE! The establishment and implementation of LRD's will heal the heart of America!

BBHC will be offering "LRD" RETREATS for the good-hearted who would like to make LRD contributions! This retreat will give people who make contributions the opportunity to experience first hand how it feels to become one with the soaring wings of the Black Butterfly.

GOOD-HEARTED RETREATS

Give a (LRD) and become one with The Wings of The Black Butterfly

Reparations is synonymous with “repairing” and when something is repaired it means that which was once damaged is finally at last- completely healed!

Our vision does indeed begin with Black Americans; Black People deserve the best! We say this with absolutely no apology. However, it certainly doesn't stop there! The Wings of the Black Butterfly span the entire universe!

BBHC extends its vision of healing to all.

But first we must challenge the American dream by taking a honest look at American reality!

In order to heal, we must face what is real!

FACTS: White folks in America are constipated (slow-moving, restricted or inhibited in some way) with “privilege.” However, as awful is that sounds, privilege of itself is not bad. Everyone deserves the best, yes? We at BBHC do not resent white folks for wanting to experience the best life has to offer. In fact, we are grateful for the explosive paradigm of privileges that the new era has brought America; particularly where it relates to self-development, permaculture, sustainable living, alternative housing, healthy dietary education, intentional community living, cooperative economics

(co-ops), the re-emerging of ancient spiritual practices, healing solutions in general and of course non-violent protest orchestrated by good hearted white folks. These are all wonderful and very needed inserts into American culture, yes?

But here is the painful rub

When privilege is hoarded, that same privilege becomes corrupted. Moreover, when privilege is used in a way that denies other human-beings equal access to those same privileges, that society becomes pervaded with mental illness. Stagnant water that does not flow, eventually becomes poisonous. The same water which was once one of life's most promising resources, through its restricted movement, becomes a detriment to humanity. That is what we see happening in America. The stagnant water of American privilege has poisoned our beloved land. In other words, when the beauty of privilege does not flow towards others (is not shared), natural law itself steps in to gain our attention. Thus the reason for the long overdue (world wide) protesting. The protestors were and are determined to make the stagnant waters of corruption flow into the river of equal justice. A society, culture and world that hoards its privileges (in whatever form they take) will not be able to sustain itself. That community will fall hard. Mother Nature does not hoard its resources. Look at the way air and sunshine just give and give and give! In order to turn this thing around, we must follow their compassionate examples. We must learn to share our privileges, particularly the ones that relate to land ownership. There is more than enough Land in America to go around.

Though the hoarding of privilege quite often has evil effects, we do not believe that the average person hoarding privilege is conscious of it. This does not pardon, discount nor minimize them, or those who are. We are very aware that there are those who purposefully use privilege for unjust gain. Slowly but surely, they are being exposed and weeded out. This ill mentality, be it unconscious or not is ingrained into the collective brain groove of our society. For hundreds of years, White (Euro) America (as a whole) has taught itself to think and feel superior to the copper tone, darker hued, Black aboriginal people of the planet earth. To our great satisfaction, millions are finally awakening to the realization, “enough is enough!” Yet! With all the various different movements of justice, and with all the presidential campaign commitments to study reparations; the copper tone, darker hued, Black aboriginal descendants of slavery have still not been paid. The greatest karmic debt of American history has not been satisfied. Nonetheless, we have a solution. We are not claiming to have the "only" or the "best" solution; just a solution. We honor with great sincerity all the other cases and causes for reparations that continue to pave the way.

All of our efforts have been initiated by the same united ancestral Spirit.

We are eternally honored to have joined this great and victorious circle.

White folks, of course you are not responsible for slavery

When White America agreed to slavery, they were also (unconsciously or not) agreeing to a future America that would be chronically inflicted with a plethora of mental illnesses. We don't need medical research to prove this. All we have to do is apply that good old fashioned Grand-Mama" common sense! Having said that!

White People, you are certainly not responsible for slavery. Nonetheless, you are responsible to share and make readily available, the comforts and privileges that you "oh so" willingly and with "no apology" enjoy because of what has been generationally accumulated due to slavery. Don't you agree? If the shoe was on the other foot is that not what you would want? Of course it is.

DON'T FORGET

“In 1860, slaves as an asset were worth more than all of America’s manufacturing, all of the railroads, all of the productive capacity of the United States put together, Slaves were the single largest, by far, financial asset of property in the entire American economy.”

-- David W. Blight, Yale historian

FURTHERMORE

A humane society should not have to suffer the embarrassment of world wide protest, in order to grant it's less fortunate citizens equal opportunity; a.k.a, equal access to privilege. Particularly, when American history clearly states ,"Our country's wealth was built on the blood, sweat, tear drops, backs and countless lost lives of Black People whose descendants still today dwell among us."

With that said:

"The only way to avert the continuation of turmoil which we see occurring on American soil is through compassionately sharing that soil with Black People."

Concerned Citizen

White America has had a 3 to 400 year lead on its counter-part communities of color where privilege is concerned. And that is equally 3 to 400 years of hoarding privilege. It's no wonder why statistics document Americans as being among the most miserable on the planet. This is not rocket science. White America is miserable because it is sickly constipated with privilege!

The solution and cure is simple

Passionately expose, grant and share privilege! Privilege is a gift of life that can only truly be maintained and enjoyed when it shared. This is what BBHC invites through the initiation and invitation of LRDS ( LAND REPARATION DISBURSEMENTS). Just imagine, Black Butterfly Healing Center's popping up all over America!

When we give, when we share and when we we apply the “golden rule” which is “to do unto others as we would want done to us”; we ourselves heal! Are you listening White America? Are you “paying” attention? We are inviting you to heal right along with us! We are inviting you to unite with the Wings of The Black Butterfly. The implementation of Land Reparations Disbursements is not only an opportunity for white America to do the right thing and support the healing of Black people; it is also an opportunity for Americans to heal the heart of the land itself! We consider this to be the “what's next” of protest and the greatest form of patriotism.

LRD HEALING/ RETREAT/ WORKSHOPS

In order to invite the good hearted to disburse land reparations funds; BBHC will offer free LRD healing retreat/ workshops/ to those who give LRD'S. In this way, our partners will be able to see and experience up close and personal what their LRD's will be contributing to. They will come to know intimately, that there is no greater feeling than the one that comes from sharing your heartfelt resources with the descendants of the ones who literally gave everything they had in order to build the wealth of America

Black Butterfly Healing Center was able to be purchased (in full) due to the giving of a LRD from one of our good-hearted friends (Butterfly's) who now through their contribution forever fly with us. We consider this Black and White American unity to be one of the core solutions to creating a racist free America. It is our belief that this is how things are supposed to have been after the emancipation proclamation. Instead of complaining about history; the BBHC community has decided to be and make the history we want to see! Old paradigms die when new paradigms arise!

At LRD Retreats the good hearted will discuss:
The history and promise of land reparations promised to black people by white America
Why Black America has such a traumatic relationship to the land
Why the issue of reparations is not solely the responsibility of the government
How “We the People” are empowered when we direct the protesting towards standing against the injustice of “ hoarding privilege”
How LRD's will benefit and help the black community heal, as well as well as the rest of America, as well as all future generations to come. The joyful satisfaction of knowing they participated in initiating a compassionate reparations solution and model for the rest of America to follow.

At the LRD Healing/ Retreat/ Workshops the good hearted will experience:

What it feels like to hand pic and eat freshly grown organic food right from the garden.
What it feels like to work harmoniously with and for the cause of Black People
What it feels like to meditate deeply on the riverfront and in nature
