Read a Recent Newsletter 

They sponsor gatherings every year that bring Indigenous Grandmothers together to share their wisdom,  knowledge, and culture. Open to all women, these gatherings provide an opportunity to rise above feelings of separateness to a unity and strength that is our heritage.

The wisdom of the Grandmothers is vital to us turning the corner on the situation at hand. We must reconnect with Nature and our Ancestors, listen and learn. The answers are available.

They are holding an Fundraiser Auction for one of the Grandmothers to raise funds so she has a place to live.

Alex Jones presents a video interview with Russell Means.

The United States is one big reservation, and we are all in it. So says Russell Means, legendary actor, political activist and leader for the American Indian Movement. Means led the 1972 seizure of the Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in 1973 led a standoff at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, a response to the massacre of at least 150 Lakotah men, women, and children by the U.S. Seventh Cavalry at a camp near Wounded Knee Creek.

American Indian Russell Means gives an eye-opening 90 minute interview in which he explains how American Indians and Americans in general are all imprisoned within one huge reservation.

Solar power is a good idea, don’t get me wrong, but creating large mega solar power systems in the Mohave Desert with disregard for the land, the sacred sites, the people, the fragile ecosystem, and the animals — is wrong.

—From Intercontinental Cry
For just one of the projects ”Blythe Solar, a partnership of Chevron and the German firm Solar Millennium will grade and level 9500 acres of desert in an area near Blythe Giant Intaglios. These are extremely large geoglyphs (images created on the surface of the Earth) representing Man, Woman, Creator, the seed and the “Trinity,” in the Ute Aztecan cosmological view.” There are 1oos of these land geoglyphs. Read the whole article.

Preserve Sacred Sites

The site proposed for Next Era’s “Genesis” Plant is right in the middle of the Aztec cultural complex.

Dr. Jim Andre, Director of the Granite Mountains Desert Research Institute, in a recent interview said that these new solar projects could severely impact the environment and even cause ecosystem collapse.
—From Intercontinental Cry

YOU CAN SIGN A PETITION
to preserve the Blythe Geoglyphs: http://www.petitiononline.com/savekoko/petition.html

From the petition: the Bltyhe Solar Millennium project site, will destroy Native American geoglyphs, trails, and other cultural resources. Questionable methodology has been used to attempt to discredit these cultural resources when there is direct evidence from Native Americans contradicting the assertions reached by those seeking project approval. Native American tribal governments and organizations have also been improperly left out of much of the process, or not given enough time for proper evaluation and consultation due to the fast tracking process, and little has been done by the California Energy Commission or the Bureau of Land Management to ensure the public has had the opportunity to adequately review or comment on this, and other renewable energy projects sited for the California deserts.

TRANSCRIPT

April 19-22, 2010

When President Morales of Bolivia launched his invitation to the world to come to Bolivia to develop a Peoples’ Agenda for Climate Change, he never imagined the overwhelming response it would generate. Over 30,000 attending.

The poorest nations, the ones that are not industrialized for the most part, are the ones who are feeling its effects of global change first. For example Bolivia’s glaciers (providing 20% of the drinking water) are melting. They have lost an estimated 50% of their volumn in the last 40 years.  —Read More

“When I arrived at the United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen in late last year, the first thing that struck me were environmental activists braving the freezing weather to voice their disappointment at being locked out of the largest ever international meeting on climate change. Inside the conference, I realized that Bolivia was in a position similar to that of the protesters outside. We, the representatives of the majority of the world’s peoples, were effectively being left in the cold while a tiny group dominated by a few rich governments met in private to produce an unacceptable compromise.” — President Evo Morales, Bolivia
Read More

“During the intense and wide-ranging debates at the People’s Conference, we never expected to immediately agree on a global solution, but we do have the ambition of putting forward concrete proposals that represent a fundamentally democratic, inclusive and equitable approach to addressing climate change. We invite you to be a part of this urgent, ongoing dialogue, which remains open to all peoples and all governments that co-exist on this unique and fragile planet.” — President Evo Morales, Bolivia

Music

Bill Purdy
soul, piano, blues, with latin heat.

…his name sounds like he should be running a Chevrolet dealership in Hogeye, Arkansas, but Bill Purdy is actually a damn fine singer/songwriter…The EP offers a seamless blend of soulful ballads and breezy up-tempo numbers, all of them anchored by Purdy’s keys – he plays piano, Wurlitzer, and B-3 here – and sandpaper-coated-in-honey vocals. The songs are catchy, a little bit funky, and as warm as a Memphis night in July. – Jeff Giles, July 2008, Eat Sleep Drink Music (ESDmusic.com)

Running is a prayer.

The Hopi ran with water that they had collected from all over the world in a gourd, from Moenkopi to Mexico City and then to the pyramids of the Sun and Moon at Teotiwakan. They gave the water they had carried with them to the people and water was exchanged. That water was then taken down to Peru and then brought back up to Mexico. Making connections and receiving blessings from the people there.

The following year runners came from Mexico back up to Hopi with the water and also the feminine activating fire. The Hopi met them at the border and ran all the way back with them.
It rained when they crossed into Zuni.

There is part of the ongoing fulfillment of the prophecy of the connection of both the North and South American Indian tribes. It is a process of Coming Together. Coming Back To Center. It is all directions returning to a HEART CENTERED way of being.

This prophecy explains that when the power of the Eagle of the North connects in balance with the spiritual Earth centered Condor of the South, our Earth will then come into balance.

In March of 2006 The Hopi Indians of North America gathered water from all around the world and ran 2,000 miles to be part of a long awaited ceremony at Teotihuacan (http://www.nativeweb.org/pages/pyramids/teotihuacan.html). The Hopi had not been back to Teotihuacan in 500 years.

Here on the spring equinox they were welcomed by an intercontinental gathering of tribes and they performed the Eagle Dance for the first time in 500 years.

–More about the Eagle and Condor Prophecy

Through out our history in the story telling of our ancient people there is a line that is told from generation to generation without the tellings of old we could not survive as the indigenous people. There was a legend told, a story of the great bird, this today is known as the condor and the most  powerful of the native peoples telling, the Eagle. It was said in time there will be a bringing forth to all that is of this creation, of world the Condor will come from the South the Eagle will come from the North and it is said of the two – when they are brought to actual pairing this is now the beginning of what is to be a time of peace.

So in this profound statement of seeing the Condor from the South and the Eagle feather from the North and being bringing forth in time of such an auspicious occasion, a gathering such as this. We know now that this was destiny, this was told in the ancestry and now we have got the ability and the blessing to see the fruition. it is now our responsibility, to know that with this we have responsibility to unfold it in the most appropriate way.

Our people have simply said let heart take lead with this the unfolding

shall come into beautiful manifestation.

-

One year later the tribes that welcomed the Hopi decided to do a return trip.
They gathered the 4 elements, the water the Hopi brought, the fire which was lit by a mayan elder, earth and air, these tribes ran the 2000 miles back to hopi land and not only brought the 4 element but also brought the much need rain. For the first time, ever the Hopi allowed for an outside group to dance in their sacred second mesa courtyard and allowed it to be recorded. This was a gift.

It is said that Montezuma’s treasure would reveal itself in 500 years. This treasure is the uncovering of the true rich culture of the Native American Indians.
