The Idle No More Movement and other related Global Movements, whether understood by all, as yet, are deeply rooted in the long held prayers and prophecies of Indigenous Elders and Visionaries. These Prophecies, including the 8th Council Fire, the Hopi’s, the Mayan’s Black…

It is becoming clearer, with every passing day, that the path out our deepening global crises, in every form, is an individual and collective transformation of human consciousness and spiritual understanding. The reality that " The Hurt of One is the Hurt of All and the Honour of One is the Honour of All!



The dynamic global crises we are experiencing are not just…

If we only think, we just don’t get it. This think part is off the mark and detached from feeling. But when we Feel, we are on target. So as we learn that the think part leads to more thinking, in a never ending looping way, We can part from that.

When Feeling with the Heart, we are stable, focused and centered. To experience the profound Feel of Truth, involves the love of knowing. This Love of Knowledge, unlike thinking,…

The Creation Story

 The Great Mother came with the Angels, from the star system known as the Pleiades, also called the Seven Sisters, and birthed a new planet.  All would be provided and the only thing that was asked of the Star People was to remember from whence they came and honor the Gift of Life.

This is the Story as told by my ancestors: We are born of the Stars and will return…

 

  “The Critical State of Our Mother Earth”

Presented at the Gathering to Protect the Sacred From the Tar Sands…

International Unity for Mother Earth Protection is needed here.

Indigenous Organic Nations of the Earth can focus energy towards pressuring the USA, China, British Empire and Israel to limit their exploitation of Earth Resources. Shareholders need to be put on notice that these practices will not be tolerated in the 21st Century. So do research and tell all the people you know to divest all their Genocidal, Earth Destroying investment practices.

We have the knowledge, we have the technology, do we have the will and desire to continue in a pono (righteous)  way?

As indigenous peoples it is up to us to steward Mother Earth but certainly here on Great  Turtle Island, we are not doing this.  A house is a house, isn't it?  Add a water-saving toilet, shower head, double-glazed windows, better insulatiion, low wattage lighting, cistern that recycles grey water  and we could qualify for a LEEDS home award.  Is that enough?…

An Old Cherokee Saying:

TWO WOLVES One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all."

"One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."

"The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy,…

ACTION ALERT -- January 17, 2013…

A National Indigenous Television Station (NITV) began to broadcast free to air, here in Australia, at 12^th 12^th 12^th.  This is after five years of pay television broadcasting, including programming by and for remote traditional communities.  I love being able to watch these shows.  Another TV show I am enjoying is a Canadian made show, called “Finding Our Talk”.  I love listening to the languages.

I am a very sensitive listener, but a clumsy speaker,…

2012 was a year of revelations, ancient fulfilled prophecies, reconnecting to nature and many light workers preparing for the ascension. It will go down in history as a year of tremendous anticipation for change on our little blue planet. Indigenous peoples, shamans, and “way showers” led the people of Earth into the new “Golden Age” with books, lectures and seminars. 

   World wide, and never before in unity we witnessed  an out pouring of love and hope for…

At times, the simplest things to see, seem to be the hardest things to See. I know this is so for me. Because, only when I let go of the all about me experience, do I See the Powerful and fulfilling nature of this Loving Aspect of Us as An Original Experience.

When I let go of the egocentric aspect of me, the Love Door opens. When I focus only on me, than the Love Door shuts tight. I would so much Love to Experience again…

I have Dreaming, we say in our way here in Australia, not Dreaming like when asleep, but true Dreaming, of the state of mind of being in a trance or in prayer, when the understandings we may know from dreams we experience asleep at night, are clear and true within awakened recall.  We have translated many words in many indigenous Australian languages, for this state of mind, that also maybe a place of ritual significance, or a time that is now, but also yesterday and tomorrow, into an idea…

How long is it going to take for us to wake up to the reality that the very materialistic system and ideology that has and continues to try and destroy us as Sovereign Nations of the Americas is not going to change? Democrats or Republicans, Conservatives, Liberals or…

NEHIYAWI – KISKINWAHAMAW

(CREE WAYS)

For many years people have struggled with the question of what is an Elder.  It is very simple. You don’t have to walk on water to become an Elder.  Once you have your first grandchild the doorway to becoming an Elder opens.  In order to host the most sacred of our ceremonies the Thirst dance (Sundance) you must have grandchildren to pass the teachings on to.  These must be biological grandchildren not foster or adopted…
