HAITI EPISTEMOLOGY 
http://www.margueritelaurent.com/writings/bwakayiman.html#epistemology

The Bwa Kayiman Call Spoken in the KiKongo language on August 14, 1791
- The Bwa Kayiman Prophecy and Call, which began the Haiti revolution, is: E, e, Mbomba, e, e! Kanga Bafyòti. Kanga Mundele. Kanga Ndòki. Kanga yo!

Èzili's English translation: The Supreme Creator (E, e, Mbomba, e, e!), Master of Breath shall foil the black collaborators/traitors (kanga bafyòti). Kill/tie up/stop the tyrannical white settlers/colonists, strangers (kanga mundele). Bind all their evil forces/sorcerers (kanga Ndòki). Stop them!

(Listen to the Welfare Poets' song Sak Pase and their reciting (2:05) of the Bwa Kayiman invocation: E, e, Mbomba! Kanga Bafyòti. Kanga Mundele. Kanga Ndòki. Kanga li!

UNTIL SHE SPOKE - http://www.ezilidanto.com/zili/2012/05/haiti-until-she-spoke/

Dessalines talks to Toussaint Louverture and he’s giving Toussaint advice.
“Somethings we do not need…
Somethings Toussaint make sense only in some places.
Food, we will grow.
Homes, we will built.
Our women and children, we will protect with blood.
With blood we made them free.
We are all we need.
We are all we have.
We will sustain us.” – Jean Jacques Dessalines (at 1:31:37 Dr. Edward Scobie – The Haitian Revolution Revisited) http://www.ezilidanto.com/zili/2012/05/haiti-until-she-spoke/#revisited

Chènn Sa a Pap Janm Kase! - Travay Èzili Dantò
Boukman ohh nan Bwa Kayiman. Nou nonme non ohh, nou pa detounen w. Nou pa t fè Bwa Kayiman pou sevi etranje...Papa Boukman ohh, nou soufri ase. Lafanmi divize. Lafanmi doz-a-do. Nou pral mete Lwa yo devan. Devan, devan. Latibonit ohh, fò nou mete Lwa yo devan...Nou gen fòs. Nou gen pouvwa. Nou gen inyon pou nou kapab fè tout travay Ginen mache lan lapè ak kè kontan.
Nou se Ginen depi lè marasa, lè mò e lè mistè. San yo se san nou. Nou fè yon sèl kò. Inyon nou fè fòs nou. Pouvwa yo se pouvwa nou.

The three powers lifted up at Bwa Kayiman: Fòs, Pouvwa, Inyon.

Ezili Dantò's Performance ritual for re-membering Boukman, Dantò, Lwa yo, tout Zanset e Ti Moun yo in August for Bwa Kayiman:
PERFORMANCE RITUAL: Chènn Sa a Pap Janm Kase! Travay Ezili Dantò of HLLN

Bondye pa ka wè malfektè. Lwa racine yo pa ka wè malfektè. Nou fè yon sèl kò. San yo se san nou. Nou konnen sa nou ye. Nap wè Bondye selman. Sa nou wè isit donnen Anba Dlo epi vinn leve isit ankò lè nou tonbe. Nou wè Bondye selman. Nap rele Bondye andan nou an, nap rele Ginen yo. Nou rele tèt nou, noumenm menm. Nou fè yon sèl kò. Nou se Ginen. Nou pa mele ak malfektè. Pitit Ginen te fè yon chènn inyon lan Bwa Kayiman. Venteyen nashon te fè yon sèl kò. Anyen paka detounen n. Nou se Ayisyen! Men an men nap rive fè tout travay Ginen mache lan lapè ak kè kontan. San yo se san nou. Nou fè yon sèl kò. Chènn sa a pap janm kase.

(Direksyon) Kanpe. Ann nou fè yon sèk. Mete men nou ansanm. Melanje li. Gason ak fanm kenbe men n ansanm an nou fè yon sèk an ron. Tout moun k ap tande vwa mwen, k ap gade mwen - tout moun lan Kanada, Miami, Ayiti, tout moun lakou New York, lan Karayib la, Ewòp, Afrik... Tout kretyen k ap tande mwen oubyen k ap gade mwen kelkeswa, pa radyo, sou Entènèt, oubyen sou konferans videyo - tout moun, tout pitit Bondye atravè mond lan. Nou pral fè yon chènn inyon, tet ansanm. Nou pral fè yon sèl kò.

Kanpe. Kanpe. Fè yon sèk. Mete men nou ansanm. Melanje li. Gason ak fanm kenbe men n ansanm lan yon sèk.
Fè yon ti balanse. Dakò. Balanse, (a dwat, a gòch, a dwat a gòch). Men an men. Balanse.

Aksyon sa li senbolik. Men, lè nou retounen lakay nou, lè nou pa ansanm konsa, fòk nou toujou kenbe chènn inyon sa a lan tèt nou toutan. Pa kite l kase ditou. Men an men. Tèt ansanm. N'ap fè yon sèl kò. Nou se Ayisyen! Men an men nap rive fè tout travay Ginen mache lan lapè ak kè kontan. Dakò. Kounye a, leve tèt nou, gade enwo. Alamèmtan, leve men nou anwo. Kenbe sèk sa a solid. Pa kite chènn sa a kase. Yo di lòt Nachon-yo ap sevi ak nou paske nou pa gen inyon. Pa kite chènn sa a kase. Lè l kase, se nou tout l ap detounen. Se nou tout k ap pran lan pelen kolon blan yo. Tande lapriyè Zanset nou yo. Balanse. Tande lapriyè Boukman. Kontinye balanse.

Ok. Kounye a, ann chante ansanm (Boukman ohh nan Bwa Kayiman. Nou nonme non w ohh, sa pa detounen w. Nou pa t fè Bwa Kayiman pou sevi etranje...) Apre chante sa a, map fè yon ti lapriyè Zanset nou yo. Apre lapriyè sa, nap fè chènn-men nou an desan ak gran fòs. Chak fwa nou desan men nou. Nap di: Fòs, Pouvwa, Inyon! Moun ki ka wè m. Gade jan mwen fè l. Fòs, Pouvwa, Inyon! Anvan nou fè sa pou fini, fòk nou salye Dantò, salye Ginen yo. Fòk nou mete Lwa-yo devan, devan, devan. Nou kwè lan limyè Ginen yo - limyè Ginen Fran. Djab la di l ap manje nou, se pa vre. Se pa vre Timoun yo, se pa vre. Gen Bondye. Gen lè sen yo. Gen noumenm. Gen Lwa racine yo. Nou se Ayisyen Arada, nou pa ka nwaye. Lanmou pa nou an pi fò ke lanmò. Si nou pakapab pase isit n ap pase lòt bò. Nou se Ginen. Nou pa mele ak Djab yo, san konsyans yo, kriminel yo k ap vann peyi a bay Kolon. Ginen Fran yo ap toujou jwenn yon chimen. Nou se Ayisyen, kè nou pa sote. Nou se pitit Papa Desalin, kè nou pa sote lan jou malè (2010-sa a, 2010-sa a...)
(Direksyon:) Lè mwen di "Nou fè yon sèl kò." Nou tout pral reponn: "Chènn sa a pap janm kase!"
Nou fè yon sèl kò. Chènn sa a pap janm kase. Nou fè yon sèl kò.

Dakò (ok).

Nou se yon sèl kò. Desalin pa ka janm mouri. Nou fè yon sèl kò. Boukman pa ka janm mouri. Cecil Fatiman, Katerin Fon, Marijann, Toya, Defile, Sanit Belè, yo pa ka janm mouri. Nou fè yon sèl kò. San Lwa yo se san nou. Dantò pa ka janm mouri. San Lwa yo se san nou. Gede-yo pa ka mouri. Yo pa ka touye Rwa Wangol ak katouch Loni. Yo pakapab achte l, ni vann li.

Nou fè yon sèl kò. Chènn sa a pap janm kase!

San yo se san nou. Nou fè yon sèl kò. Chènn sa a pap janm kase!

San yo se san nou. Nou fè yon sel kò. Chènn sa a pap janm kase!
(Repete apre m:) Lanmou pa nou an pi fò ke lanmò. Si nou pakapab pase isit, nap pase lòt bò. Nou se Ginen. Nou pa mele ak Djab yo, san konsyans yo, kriminel yo k ap vann peyi a bay Kolon. Ginen Fran yo ap toujou jwenn yon chimen.

Nou se Ayisyen. Nou fè yon sèl kò. Chènn sa a pap janm kase!

Wi, se konsa.
Nou se pitit Papa Desalin. Nou fè yon sèl kò ak li e tout lòt zanset yo. Yo pakapab refize Desalin azil. Yo pakapab mete Boukman lan prizon. Yo pakapab detwi Neges e Nèg Ginen.

Nou fè yon sèl kò. Chènn sa a pap janm kase!

OK. Tande yon ti priyè/chante Zanset yo moutre-m pou m pòte pou nou jodi a.
Prayer- Lapriyè Salu Dantò
1. Se Ibo Evida.
2. Se Ibo Evida Nayide.

3. Danbala viyè, viyè, n ap salu Dantò.

4. Egiye se Ago Ouse.
5. Se Ago Ouse.
6. Ago Lisagondè.
7. Se Ibo Evida Nayide.
*****
Then say (epi kounye a di): FOS, Pouvwa, Inyon!

(Direksyon) Kenbe chènn inyon an. Leve men nou anlè, di "Fòs" pandan nap desan men nou tout ansanm.
Leve men nou anlè, di "Pouvwa" pandan nap desan li anba.
Leve men nou anlè, di "inyon!"" - pandan nap desan li.

Nou fè yon sèl kò.

(repons:) Chènn sa a pap janm kase!
AYIBOBO!

Boukman's Prayer
The God who created the earth, who created the sun that gives us light.
The God who holds up the ocean, who makes the thunder roar. Our God
who has ears to hear. You who are hidden in the clouds, who watch us from
where you are. You see all that the White has made us suffer. The White
man's god asks him to commit crimes. But the God within us wants to do good.
Our God, who is so good, so just, orders us to avenge our wrongs. It's our good God
who will direct our arms and bring us victory. It's our good God who will assist us.
We all should throw away the image of the white man's god who is so pitiless.
Listen to the voice for liberty that sings in all our hearts.
-- Boukman's Prayer at the Bwa Kayiman Vodun ceremony, the August 14, 1791 call to action that launched the Haitian Revolution, which started on August 22, 1791.

Lapriyè Boukman (Kreyòl)

Bon Dje ki fè la tè. Ki fè soley ki klere nou anwo. Bon Dje ki soulve lanmè. Ki fè
gronde loray. Bon Dje nou ki gen zorey pou tande. Ou ki kache nan nyaj. Kap
gade nou kote ou ye la. Ou wè tout sa Blan fè nou sibi. Dje Blan yo mande krim.
Bon Dje ki nan nou an vle byen fè. Bon Dje nou an ki si bon, ki si jis, li òdone
vanjans (jistis). Se li kap kondwi bra nou pou nou ranpòte la viktwa. Se li kap ba nou
asistans. Nou tout fèt pou nou jete pòtre dje Blan yo ki swaf dlo lan zye. Koute
vwa la libète k ap chante lan kè nou.--- Lapriyè Boukman nan Bwa Kayiman
