Chief Big Foot Band Memorial Ride – 25 years
South Dakota USA Wounded Knee Pine Ridge Reservation
For the past 25 years, Native American people have been riding, running and walking the route that Chief Bigfoot followed with his people, before they were massacred at the site of Wounded Knee in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. This year, to honor the 25th anniversary of the Chief Big Foot Band Memorial Ride and the 125th anniversary of the massacre, we inaugurate a 4 year cycle for global ceremony to end massacre and all that massacre means and to finally heal our hearts.
Wounded Knee becomes a focal point for healing ceremonies and activities to heal the multi-lineal, multi-generational wounds of humanity. Through ceremony and other healing modalities, we are engendering the healing process for indigenous and non-indigenous communities worldwide; by recognizing the core wounds of humanity, participating in ceremonies and activities of healing, and creating opportunities for everyone to heal…

Utah Sues Biden Over Move to Restore Bears Ear, Grand Staircase-Escalante
On Wednesday, the state of Utah and several of its officials, including
Governor Spencer Cox and Attorney General Sean D. Reyes, sued the Biden administration
in federal court over the president’s executive action last year to restore two
national monuments that were formerly reduced by President Donald Trump.
The lawsuit, filed against Biden and other members of his administration including
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo), argues that the size of the two national monuments,
totaling a combined 3.2 million acres, violates a law that limits U.S. presidents to create monuments
“confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management
of the objects to be protected.”

Rapid City community asks feds to intervene in land dispute
Unprecedented request wants Interior Department to reclaim land now violating long-ago terms
RAPID CITY, South Dakota – For three-quarters of a century, Native community members
have cried foul over how 1,200 acres of Indian school land was doled
out into non-Native hands.
And for three-quarters of a century they’ve come up empty, their efforts
ignored or denied, any action delayed.
Now they are asking the federal government to intervene in a high stakes effort to
turn the tide, an unprecedented action seeking what is believed to be a
first-of-its kind legal action called a reversion.

Indian Country Responds to Pope Francis Receiving a Headdress During ‘Pilgrimage of Penance’
Pope Francis was gifted a traditional headdress by Chief Wilton Littlechild after delivering an
apology for the role the Catholic Church played in Canada’s residential schools.
Pope Francis wore the headdress briefly and did not speak while wearing it.
It’s the first public apology by the leader of the Catholic Church.
„I am deeply sorry. Sorry for the ways in which, regrettably, many Christians supported the colonizing mentality of the powers that oppressed the indigenous peoples. I am sorry. I ask forgiveness,“ he said.
Many took their responses to social media to one of the most significant and iconic Indigenous cultural honors, the gifting of a headdress.
Joe Horse Capture, Vice President of Native Collections of Native American History and Culture at the Autry Museum tweeted,
“I have so much to say about this, and all of it negative.
I am practicing ‘If you can’t say anything positive, don’t say anything at all’ mantra.
But I’ll be honest, it’s difficult! #WTF.”

Scientists discover an ancient forest inside a giant sinkhole in China
Cave explorers stumbled upon a prehistoric forest at the bottom of a giant sinkhole in South China earlier this month.
Sinkholes such as these are also known in Chinese as Tiankeng, or „Heavenly pit.“
At 630 feet deep, the sinkhole would hide the Washington Monument and then some.
The bottom of the pit holds an ancient forest spanning nearly three football fields in length,
with trees towering over 100 feet high.

GOOD NEWS SIERRA CLUB
This is a great feeling. Today, three national monuments — Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Northeast Canyons and Seamounts — were finally restored. We’ve been waiting for this day since 2017 when Trump illegally stripped protections from these monuments as a gift to his buddies in the oil, gas, and minings industries.
The Bears Ears restoration is a huge victory for the Inter-Tribal coalition of the Navajo Nation and the Hopi, Ute Indian, Ute Mountain Ute and Pueblo of Zuni Tribes that spent years lobbying for the monument to be created — and then kept up the fight after Trump tried to dismantle it.
In the words of Chairman Shaun Capoose of the Ute Indian Tribe, „President Biden did the right thing restoring the Bears Ears National Monument. For us the Monument never went away. We will always return to these lands to manage and care for our sacred sites, waters and medicines…. We battled for this Monument because it matters.“
The board of Grand Staircase-Escalante Partners said, „This act of preservation safeguards the thousands of unique plant, animal, and insect species that rely on the ecosystems connected throughout the Colorado Plateau. It enables world-renowned research opportunities for paleontology and climate change. And it honors the sacred landscape home to Indigenous Peoples, including the Paiute, Hopi, Zuni, Dine/Navajo, Ute, Jemez Pueblo, Ute Mountain Ute, and Acoma nations.“
And of course, millions of people sent public comments, made phone calls, attended webinars, and showed up at protests in support of monument protections — even if they’d never visited these places in person. All of that work has finally paid off, and we hope you can take a moment to savor the victory.
Together, these three monuments cover over 5 million acres of canyon, forests, desert, and ocean. Protecting them is an important step towards our goal of conserving 30% of our lands and waters by 2030. Over the past 25 years, Grand Staircase-Escalante has also been proof that monument designations can help local economies flourish. These actions set a path forward for a better future for everyone.

True Story:
Native American Women Warriors in American History
When the Europeans first began arriving on this continent they were amazed that
Indian women were very much unlike European women.
Indian women were not subservient to men, they often engaged in work – such as farming and warfare – which the Europeans
viewed as men’s work,
they had a voice in the political life of their communities, and they had control of their own bodies and sexuality.
Unlike the patriarchal European societies, Indians were often matrilineal, a system in which people belonged to their
mother’s clans or extended families.
When Indian people spoke of a neighboring tribe as “women” or as “grandmothers”, the Europeans often misinterpreted this compliment
as a derogatory statement.
During the nineteenth century Indian women, and particularly Indian women leaders, were invisible to the American government.
Some Indians have gone so far as to say that the Americans were so afraid of Indian women that they would not allow them to
sit or speak in treaty councils with the United States government. Even today,
Indian women are conspicuous by their absence in American history.

Leonard Crow Dog was a powerful Wicasa Wakan, Holy Man, with a beautiful vision of the Sacred Mystery of the Universe.
Leonard was in touch with the sacred power that connects all of us and the Creation. As a young man, Leonard Crow Dog learned from his father Henry Crow Dog and Lakota elders. He did not go to school, instead his parents enlisted four medicine men to guide his education. Throughout his life, Crow Dog learned from the University of the Universe, as he would say, and he shared his understanding of WoLakota with our Sicangu Oyate, the Oceti Sakowin, and Peoples of all Nations.

Bright Eyes is the true story of Susette La Flesche, a well-known Native American writer, lecturer, interpreter, and artist of the Omaha tribe in Nebraska.
La Flesche, whose Omaha Indian name, Inshata Theumba,
translates to “bright eyes,”
was a spokesperson for the Omaha and Ponca tribes,
and was instrumental in facilitating the court case
of Standing Bear vs. General George Crook in 1879.
The ruling of that landmark civil rights case was that Native Americans are “persons within the meaning of the law,”
and citizens with certain rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Honoring Debra White Plume, Oglala Lakota
OWE AKU “Bring Back the Way”
Respect Existence or Expect Resistance
“It’s hard to be proud of your cultural heritage and traditions if every day you face extinction.” –Debra White Plume
Debra White Plume is a Lakota grandmother and founder and director of Owe Aku (Bring Back the Way), a grassroots non-profit devoted to preserving and revitalizing the Lakota Way of Life.
Moccasins ARE on the Ground
STOP FAT TAKERS HURTING MOTHER EARTH
Owe Aku’s Moccasins on the Ground gathering is an ongoing training in preparation for direct action against the pipeline and other threats to Mother Earth should federal government policies support the tyranny of corporate greed.
The Intergenerational gathering with a new and unique power to them has always been a cornerstone of the Lakota Oyate. Ikopi sni lakot lya po (speak with no fear).
OWE AKU “Bring Back the Way”
Owe Aku works to bring back our way of life which includes humanity’s role in nature: we are a part of it, not outside of it, not having dominion over it.
To achieve this Owe Aku works to stop mining that contaminates our water and land. Owe Aku has reestablished programs that utilize the wisdom of our ancestors in combatting the effects of inter-generational trauma caused by colonization and the intentional attempts for hundreds of years to destroy our culture.
In the Lakota Language Owe Aku means Bring Back the Way. In bringing back the way, we strive to offer alternatives, based on traditional knowledge, that respect the changing environmental conditions of Mother Earth, and which will ultimately benefit the peoples and ecosystems of the planet.
The environment, upon which we are all dependent, is no longer just an issue for Indigenous peoples. On every continent, Indigenous cultures offer viable alternatives because we recognize the Earth, not as a commodity to be exploited, but as a relative that protects and preserves our very existence and the existence of future human generations.
Decisions are always made collectively first with the grassroots leaders of our tiyospaye (extended family or clan) and our direct allies.
The people of our tiyospaye founded Owe Aku “Bring Back the Way” and have continued to direct its activities and make decisions based on the traditional Lakota principle of consensus.

We are all one family – It is now
To be released by Publishers, Simon and Schuster, September 1, 2020~Chapter 9~Overview Prophecies, Dynamic Change, and a New Global Civilization
We are witnessing a growing Global Storm visibly sweeping the face of our Mother Earth. This Global Storm will prove, unless we awaken, to be unprecedented in its violence,
unpredictable in its course, and sometimes catastrophic in its immediate effects. It appears that no place on Mother Earth is protected from the cleansing, healing, and unifying power of this Global Storm.
A New Global Civilization
The vision of a new global civilization is a promise found in spiritual and prophetic sources from Indigenous prophecies, such as Black Elk Speaks, the major Prophets, the Call to the Nations, the Universal House of Justice, and many elders, spiritual teachers, and faith traditions everywhere on Mother Earth.
This new global civilization, which Indigenous peoples and other related prophecies speak of, is not to be confused–even remotely–with the various new world orders fearfully alluded to by various contending sources. It is not a new world order where the extremely wealthy or a secret elite enslave most of humanity for their own selfish and greedy purposes, where everyone is forced to look, act and think the same, or where anyone nation-state dominates all others.
There are many ways and perspectives to view and understand prophecies and spiritual teachings. From the perspective of my Indigenous Circle, the understanding of the concept, the Honor of One is the Honor of All, also reflects the view that our individual growth and development as individuals are mirrored in our collective growth and development as a Human Family.
It is my heartfelt conviction, experience, and conscious faith that we are approaching, after a process of many millennia, the manifestation of our Spiritual Maturity, the beginning of our Young Adulthood, as a Human Family. We have journeyed from our Collective and Individual Infancy to the threshold of our Collective and Individual Maturity—an Epoch Stage that will witness the Unification of our Human Family and the Realization of Peace on Earth.
Consider how each of us, as individuals, passes through Infancy, Childhood, and then through the challenging and dynamic Stage of Adolescence, a profound period where unexpected potentialities and capacities are revealed and manifested. Our Human Family, as a whole, is in an unprecedented transformation and transition.
The turbulence and commotion of our lives today are simply the fits and starts of our Human Family struggling to come of age. In this dynamic process, widely accepted practices and conventions, beliefs, cherished attitudes, and habits are one by one being rendered obsolete, as the imperatives of our spiritual maturity continue to dynamically manifest.
Our success in building this new way of life leading to an equitable, balanced global civilization, now unfolding, is based on our full commitment to the unfettered and independent investigation of the truth for ourselves. The obligation of each human being to acquire knowledge and understanding through their „own eyes and not through the eyes of others“ requires our very careful, in-depth reflection, consideration, and investigation of the sources from which we receive our “news.”
Once people know for themselves, they will change the way they feel, speak, and act. This knowledge is rooted in gaining an ever-deepening spiritual understanding and purpose in our lives and requires changing how we live together as a Human Family.
This new global civilization, foretold by our Indigenous prophecies, including the Eighth Council Fire, the Return of the White Buffalo, The Peacemaker, Quetzalcoatl, Sweet Medicine, Black Elk, the Hopi, Vira Cocha and many others, is founded on the unshakable consciousness of the Oneness of the Human Family and all Life. From this consciousness naturally unfolds the realization of:
The Equality of Men and Women
The Balancing of the Extremes of Wealth and Poverty
The Elimination of All Prejudices
The Unity of Science and Spirituality Universal Education
The Independent Investigation of Truth, and Unity in Diversity

Warrior Woman Project
Video: W.A.R.N. Ride
In December, a group of women from the Fours Bands of the Oceti Sakowin— the Minnicoujou, Itazipco, Siha Sapa, and Oohenumpa— made a symbolic horse ride on the western edge/border of the Cheyenne River Reservation where the TransCanada KXL Pipeline will construct temporary workforce housing, commonly known as a “man camp.”
The ride signifies a stand against the violence and human trafficking that will increase with the establishment of this „man camp“ near the border of the reservation. The ride idea originated with some of the original members of Women of All Red Nations (W.A.R.N.), a Native women’s activist group founded in 1978 to fight for and protect the lives of Native women, families, and the Earth.

I see so much blame and anger in the world right now.
People don’t feel they have power and are looking for someone or something to blame.
Stop it! Now isn’t the time to blame.
It’s not time to worry about political parties, the color of someone’s skin or their religion. The illness doesn’t care about those things.
The disease will grow within someone causing as much damage as possible while spreading to others…growing and becoming more powerful.
Like the disease our choices grow within us and spread to those around us. We can choose to grow hate and spread that in the world or we can nurture compassion, understanding and love then choose to spread that.
Those choices begin within the family and now we are spending more time together than in the recent past.
This is the time to truly pray and think about who you want to be and the story you want to leave behind. Let us place less importance on our differences or things we can’t control. Let us find common ground, learn from one another, share traditions and learn to love. Maybe when we stop using the things we can’t control as an excuse we can stop the bad feelings and grow as a people.

Prophecy by Floyd Westermann
“We were told that we would see America come and go. In a sense America is dying, from within, because they forgot the instructions of how to live on earth. It’s the Hopi belief, it’s our belief, that if you are not spiritually connected to the earth, and understand the spiritual reality of how to live on earth, it’s likely that you will not make it.
Everything is spiritual, everything has a spirit, everything was brought here by the creator, the one creator. Some people call him God, some people call him Buddha, some people call him Allah, some people call him other names. We call him Tunkaschila… Grandfather.
We are here on earth only a few winters, then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than most of us believe.
The spirit world is everything. Over 95% of our body is water.
In order to stay healthy you’ve got to drink good water. … Water is sacred, air is sacred.
Our DNA is made out of the same DNA as the tree, the tree breaths what we exhale, we need what the tree exhales. So we have a common destiny with the tree.
We are all from the earth, and when earth, the water, the atmosphere is corrupted, then it will create its own reaction. The mother is reacting.
In the Hopi prophecy they say the storms and floods will become greater.
To me it’s not a negative thing to know that there will be great changes.
It’s not negative, it’s evolution. When you look at it as evolution, it’s time, nothing stays the same.You should learn how to plant something. That is the first connection.
You should treat all things as spirit, realize that we are one family. It’s never something like the end. Its like life, there is no end to life.”

Message from a Hopi Elder to the Change of this:
Message from White Eagle, Hopi indigenous on 03/16/2020:
VISION QUEST 🔥👁️
“This moment humanity is going through can now be seen as a portal and as a hole.
The decision to fall into the hole or go through the portal is up to you.
If you repent of the problem and consume the news 24 hours a day, with little energy, nervous all the time, with pessimism, you will fall into the hole. But if you take this opportunity to look at yourself, rethink life and death, take care of yourself and others, you will cross the portal.
Take care of your homes, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual House.
When you are taking care of yourselves, you are taking care of everything else. Do not lose the spiritual dimension of this crisis, have the eagle aspect, that from above, and see the whole; see more broadly.
There is a social demand in this crisis, but there is also a spiritual demand. The two go hand in hand. Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism. But without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and lack of meaning.
You were prepared to go through this crisis. Take your toolbox and use all the tools available to you.
Learn about resistance of the indigenous and African peoples: we have always been and continue to be exterminated. But we still haven’t stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and having fun. Don’t feel guilty about being happy during this difficult time.
You do not help at all being sad and without energy. You help if good things emanate from the Universe now. It is through joy that one resists. Also, when the storm passes, each of you will be very important in the reconstruction of this new world.
You need to be well and strong. And, for that, there is no other way than to maintain a beautiful, happy and bright vibration. This has nothing to do with alienation.
This is a resistance strategy. In shamanism, there is a rite of passage called the quest for vision. You spend a few days alone in the forest, without water, without food, without protection. When you cross this portal, you get a new vision of the world, because you have faced your fears, your difficulties …
This is what is asked of you:
Allow yourself to take advantage of this time to perform your vision seeking rituals. What world do you want to build for you? For now, this is what you can do: serenity in the storm. Calm down, pray every day. Establish a routine to meet the sacred every day.
Good things emanate; what you emanate now is the most important thing. And sing, dance, resist through art, joy, faith and love. „
Resist – Be reborn

The Deacons; the black armed Christians who protected MLK, civil rights supporters before Black Panther
Given that African-Americans were an easy target in the 1950s and 1960s, the Ku Klux Klan – the white supremacist group – had a free reign, terrorizing and even murdering civil rights supporters.
The incessant attacks were so frequent that many civil rights workers armed themselves for self-protection. Even the home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had so many guns during the 1950s that one visitor called it an “arsenal.”

It is the second circle of legacy leaders who will participate in the fellowship intended to strengthen their sisterhood, share their life teachings, and plan pathways forward.
