Oklevueha NAC spiritual detoxing
There has been a concerted effort over the last two centuries to exterminate the Indigenous Native American religious culture. The blessings of the Indigenous Native American religious healing traditions have been suppressed and taken to the verge of extinction. This Religious tradition uses plants and herbs along with ceremonies to heal body, mind, and spirit, and assist with the transitions of life that we all experience. This natural and spiritual way of healing is directly opposed to most of the pharmaceutical medicines which are financially unavailable to many, and can create dependency, overwhelming side-effects, and the use of medical technology that invades and disrespects our bodies.
Our world is facing extreme challenges. The culture of excess, extortion, and willingness to eradicate that which is eternal in exchange for that which is a “quick fix” and temporary is leading us down a path of destruction, not only of our economy and ecology, but our spiritual nature and healing. There is another way – a truer way – a way of harmony, peace and building rather than destruction or management of damage.
All societies live with dichotomy and this struggle – whether to embrace light or darkness. The Indigenous Native American religious cultures have always been diverse and there have been many tribes. Over millennia, tribes from all over both the Northern and Southern hemispheres have learned and passed down ways of healing, empowering, understanding, and living harmoniously and productively with themselves, others, and nature. Our world needs the wisdom they have gained. Many Indigenous peoples do not want to share what they have learned because of the atrocities they have suffered at the hands of “civilized” people who have invaded, co-opted, and eradicated the lands that sustained them. This is understandable.
Here at Oklevueha Native American Church you will find those who wish to share and protect those understandings and natural medicines. We bring these sacred medicines and ceremonies and offer them as a gift to all races and cultures in the hope that they can assist in healing our world and all our relations.

Lakota Sioux Teachings
The Lakota Sioux, a Native American nation, hold profound spiritual beliefs and cultural practices. Let’s explore some of their core teachings:
Seven Sacred Rites:
These are the spiritual observances that maintain the Lakota Sioux’s relationship with the Great Mystery (also known as Great Spirit or Wakan Tanka), the unifying Higher Power of the Universe.
The seven sacred rites were given to the Lakota Sioux by the supernatural entity White Buffalo Calf Woman in the distant past. She appeared when the Sioux had lost their connection to the Great Spirit and restored balance through these rituals.
The seven sacred rites are:
Keeping of the Soul (Keeping and Releasing of the Soul)
The Purification Rite
Crying for a Vision
The Sun Dance
The Making of Relatives
The Girl’s Coming of Age
The Throwing of the Ball
Note: Each ritual maintains communion between the people, their past, and the Creator.
Values and Laws:
Prayer: Spirituality is central to their lives.
Respect: They honor and respect all life.
Compassion: Recognizing our shared connection to the Earth and showing empathy.
Honesty: Upholding truthfulness.
Generosity: Sharing with others.
Humility: Embracing modesty.
Wisdom: Seeking understanding and insight.
Sacred Connection to Land: The Lakota Sioux view the land as more than a backdrop; it is a living entity infused with spiritual energy.
Note: These teachings reflect a harmonious relationship between the natural world and the human spirit, guiding the Lakota Sioux in their journey through life.

BIKBAYE: Seeking synergy in both wellness and art
Note: Bikbaye was keynote speaker at the NYC Winter Jazz Festival in 2019.
The Synergy of Art and Wellness: A Holistic Approach
In today’s busy and increasingly stressful world, achieving holistic healing and wellness is more important than ever. While traditional methods like counseling and medication have their place, there’s a growing acknowledgment of the profound impact that art therapy can have on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
What Is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is an integrative mental health and human services profession that enriches lives through active art-making, creative processes, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship. It’s not just about creating pretty pictures; it’s a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
Benefits of Art Therapy
Emotional Expression and Healing:
Art therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express themselves freely.
Through various artistic mediums, people can channel their emotions, thoughts, and experiences in ways that words alone may not capture.
Externalizing emotions through art allows for effective examination and processing of difficult feelings such as grief, trauma, anxiety, or depression.
Mindfulness and Relaxation:
Engaging in the creative process promotes mindfulness and relaxation.
Focusing on the moment and the act of creation reduces stress and fosters calmness.
Art therapy encourages being present and grounded.
Problem-Solving and Stress Reduction:
Research shows that art encourages creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Just 45 minutes of art-making can reduce cortisol levels (a stress hormone) in 75 percent of people.
Art therapy offers an alternative way to cope with stress and anxiety.
Holistic Wellness:
Holistic healing involves integrating mind, body, and spirit.
Art therapy recognizes this interconnectedness.
By engaging in creative expression, individuals address their emotional, physical, and spiritual needs simultaneously.
Art and Wellness: A Harmonious Intersection
As art and wellness continue to intertwine, the possibilities for personal and societal transformation are boundless. The synergy between creative expression and holistic well-being offers a comprehensive approach to health—one that acknowledges the intricate connection between the mind, body, and spirit.
Conclusion
Whether you’re an artist or simply someone seeking balance and healing, consider exploring art therapy. Let the canvas be your sanctuary, where colors, shapes, and lines become tools for self-discovery and well-being. Remember, art is not just what you create; it’s how you connect with yourself and the world around you.

Insights from Hopi Prophecies
Dr. Lee Brown, a revered Native American elder, has shared profound wisdom regarding the Hopi prophecies. These ancient prophecies hold significance for humanity, offering guidance and foresight. In this blog post, we’ll explore the key points from Dr. Brown’s teachings and their relevance in our modern world.
1. The Great Shaking
At the 1986 Continental Indigenous Council in Fairbanks, Alaska, Dr. Lee Brown emphasized the Hopi Indian prophecies. According to these prophecies:
The Earth would experience significant shakings if humanity failed to unite beforehand.
These shakings symbolize major global events that could bring about transformation and purification.
2. The Third Great Shaking
Dr. Brown stressed the urgency of coming together as a people before the third great shaking occurs. While we haven’t fully united yet, there’s still hope that we can do so and avert the impending upheaval. The call is clear: unity is essential for our survival.
3. Baha-na and the Baha-ni
The Hopis anticipate the return of their creator, Baha-na. Described as a bearded white man, Baha-na’s followers are known as the Baha-ni. Remarkably, historical events seem to align with these prophecies, emphasizing their relevance even today.
4. Spiritual Path and Purification
The Hopi prophecy emphasizes two paths for humanity:
The White Brother’s Path: This path represents technological advancements, pollution, war, and disrespect for life. It went east, away from the spiritual center.
The Hopi Brother’s Path: The Hopi brother stayed in the spiritual center, preserving sacred ceremonies and traditions. This path leads to harmony with nature.
The prophecy foretells four events that would shake the world, signaling Earth’s purification. It reminds us to tread the path of understanding, respect, and spiritual awareness.
Conclusion
Dr. Lee Brown’s message underscores the need for unity and reverence for our planet. As we navigate our complex world, let us heed the wisdom of the Hopi prophecies. Together, we can create a future that honors both our technological progress and our spiritual connection to the Earth.

Quantum Leaps in Consciousness
“One person can change the entire timeline!”
ORIGIN OF THE 100TH MONKEY PHENOMENON
The groundbreaking book, "The Hundredth Monkey", written by Ken Keyes Jr., points out a critically important study conducted on the Japanese Macaca Fuscata monkey. This study led to an extremely important phenomenon relating to Consciousness.
In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female, named Imo, found that she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream.
Imo taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too. This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable.
One morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Eventually, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes. Then, the phenomenon happened! The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created a breakthrough. The habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea. Colonies of monkeys on other islands began washing their sweet potatoes.
When a certain critical number achieves awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind. This Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people. But then there is a point at which if only one more person tunes in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone. This is the Hundredth Monkey theory.
HIVE MIND
In David Wilcock’s book, “The Source Field Investigations”, he reveals the work of Kevin Kelly & Steven Johnson, regarding the “hive mind”. Their research documented that a surprising number of human innovations have appeared in different people’s mind simultaneously. They postulate that we, as humans, are all using the same energy field to think with. Thus, as new ideas are introduced into that energy field, they suddenly become available to everyone.
The Hundredth Monkey theory & “hive mind” phenomenon brings us much hope. In order to create a Quantum Leap in global consciousness, a small yet highly concentrated effort of conscious individuals is all that is necessary.
MORPHOGENETIC FIELDS
A possible explanation of the 100th Monkey Phenomenon is found in the theories of morphogenetic fields that have been introduced & thoroughly investigated by Rupert Sheldrake. The idea is that when a behavior is repeated over and over it creates a sort of pattern that is increasingly strengthened over time. The pattern that is created in this process acts like a “memory bank” for the field that is accessible to all.
The more this is strengthened, the easier it makes it for others to adopt this particular behavior. Meaning that once something is learned it will get easier for the next person to learn the same thing, and in the end it might become an instinctive skill in the human species. This might help explain why we all have certain skills already at birth.
Rupert Sheldrakes’ theories on morphogenetic fields are so devastating to the agenda of the forces opposed to unity that his lecture, “The Science Delusion”, for the popular TED Talks conference was banned and taken off of YouTube. TED Talks also banned Graham Hancock’s lecture, “The War on Consciousness”, regarding Shamanism & medicinal plants.
IT’S A GAME-CHANGER
Take heed! Even though the forces opposed to inter-tribal unity appear to have the upper hand via force, the peaceful people who are in favor of inter-tribal unity posses the most important & powerful game-changer, which is a small, but growing exponentially, contingent of conscious native & non-native individuals who are committed to living in accordance with The Great Law of Peace. .

Maharishi Meditation Effect
In addition to mending the Sacred Hoop via Medicine Wheels that heal Mother Earth, meditation has the potential to literally transform the world. In 1978, what is known as the “Maharishi Effect” took place when a group of 7000 individuals over the course of 3 weeks were meditating in hopes of positively affecting the surrounding city. They were able to literally transform the collective energy of that city, which reduced global crime rates, violence, and casualties during the times of their meditation by an average of 16%. Suicide rates and automobile accidents also were reduced with all variables accounted for. In fact, there was a 72% reduction in terrorist activity during the times at which this group was meditating.
Almost 50 studies have been done further confirming the benefits of global meditation and its direct impact on everything in the world, even so far as to having the results published in the “Journal of Crime and Justice” in 1981. We know meditation has endless health & psychological benefits as well.
The secret of the Global Maharishi Effect is the phenomenon known to Physics as the “Field Effect”, the effect of coherence, positivity produced from the field of infinite correlation, the field of Transcendental Consciousness, which is basic to creation and permeates all life everywhere.
Meditation takes your consciousness to the implicate levels of existence where your intentions have consequential effects on the explicate level that we interact with before it even manifests. Consciousness gives rise to the material. The key idea is that all of existence emanates out of a field of universal consciousness, called the Unified Field or Super String Field.

The practice of Earthing aka Grounding
Grounding or earthing is a holistic practice that involves connecting with the Earth's electrical energy by walking barefoot on natural surfaces or using grounding techniques.
The practice of Grounding can have the following benefits:
1. Reduced Inflammation: Some believe that direct contact with the Earth's surface can help reduce inflammation in the body, as inflammation is linked to various health issues.
2. Improved Sleep: Advocates claim that grounding may positively impact sleep quality by regulating circadian rhythms and promoting a balance in the body's melatonin production.
3. Stress Reduction: Grounding is thought to have stress-relieving effects by balancing the autonomic nervous system and reducing cortisol levels, potentially leading to a sense of relaxation.
4. Improved Energy Levels: Proponents suggest that grounding may enhance energy levels and vitality by optimizing the body's energy flow and reducing oxidative stress.
5. Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Protection: Some believe that grounding can help protect against the potential negative effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields by balancing the body's electrical charge.
6. Pain Reduction: Grounding is thought to have analgesic effects, potentially reducing pain and discomfort by influencing the body's perception of pain and improving circulation.

Abundant Universe… Energy is Free
Truth is now coming to the surface. We are beginning to understand what the ancient indigenous teachings have known all along, that energy is all around us; we live in an abundant universe. Energy is free, but our ignorance and lack of spiritual understanding has been costing us.
FREE-ENERGY PIONEERS
It’s time that we go back and research some of the scientific pioneers of free-energy, whose work has been destroyed by the forces opposing inter-tribal unity on this planet.
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was prevented from giving the planet free-energy via wireless electricity. John Keely (1827-1898) was prevented from giving the planet the principle for power production based on the musical vibrations of tuning forks; demonstrating that that music could resonate with atoms or with the ether. Royal Rife (1888–1971) was prevented from giving the planet a cure for Cancer using a microscope he designed that first identifies then destroys the micro-organisms which causes Cancer. These are just a few names. There are plenty more scientists whose liberating work needs to be resurfaced and fully investigated.
TURN THE DESERTS GREEN
Technology is being withheld that will desalinate the ocean, producing fresh drinking water. Technology is also being withheld to turn deserts green.
A cloud busting machine, called “Cloud Buster”, designed to remove dead Orgone from the area and replace it with fresh Orgone energy was brought in from the Southwest. In a few months the barren desert, north of Tucson, began to turn green with a fine growth of new grass. The following month, the greening of the desert had spread to cover an area 40 to 80 miles from Tucson with new grass up to one foot high. This happened without any rain falling, due solely to the fresh atmospheric life energy and attendant moisture from the Pacific Ocean, 250-400 miles to the Southwest. Three months later, the rain came in.
The atmosphere had undergone a radical change, breaking a five year drought and turning completely barren desert land into green pasture again after thousands of years. It proved conclusively that desert development was clearly & doubtlessly reversible. Through a new kind of Orgone technology, humanity could convert life-destroying energy back into life-sustaining energy.
Within two years, the inventor of the “Cloud Buster” died in prison, destroyed by a system that could not tolerate the free expression of live-giving energy.
UNLEASH THE HIDDEN TECHNOLOGY
We will soon discover & unleash the hidden technology, which at the very minimum is 30 years ahead of our current technology, and possibly even a thousand years or more, that would allow all human beings to have an over-abundance of food, clothing & shelter. This would eliminate the need for mining & drilling of our Earth Mother’s resources (her blood), like coal & oil. This would also eliminate the need money or barter, which are both artificial means for control by one group over another, especially today’s money which is fiat currency (monopoly money) that is printed out of thin air.
Instead of work, unleashed hidden technology, once aligned with spiritual consciousness will allow us to contribute to our society & community in a labor of love, allowing us to pursue activities & vocations that we desire and are passionate about. Artists will naturally become the world's performers & entertainers. Nurturing people will naturally become the world's doctors & healers. Inventors will naturally become the world's leaders in industry & space travel. The productivity of the world will increase by leaps & bounds in a way which does not harm Mother Earth and provides us with all our wants, desires and dreams.
GIFTS OF CREATION
According to the Galactic Timepiece and in accordance with the laws of our Quantum Universe, true freedom is here. The choice is ours! We were given life for free by the Great Mystery. We are a free gift of creation! Our worth & personal value is priceless. On top of that, creation has given us the gift of co-creation for free. Thus, the more we give, the more we will freely receive in this abundant universe.

Becoming an apprentice… learning traditional medicine
“I have consistently found that it is very important to listen, observe quietly and refrain from questions. Native people are very keen observers. They do not barrage their teachers and elders with questions. Instead, they watch and listen. It is a cultural learning modality born of experience and one worth noting.”
With all the years that Michael Bastine spent with Mad Bear (Medicine Man), he never once heard him say what anyone should or shouldn’t do. Mad Bear would give caution at times, but he respected free will. Mad Bear never tried to portray himself as an authority figure.
Due to this mutually respectful relationship, Michael and Mad Bear’s other apprentices had the opportunity to learn traditional medicine ways in an environment that was sacred and built on trust.
OBSERVATION
As Mad Bear allowed his apprentice Michael Bastine to observe his life and see with his own eyes what he was doing, Mad Bear really didn’t give a lot of answers. Michael learned by making the connections on his own. This is how he received the answers to his many questions. This is the only real way of learning the traditional way.When you make the connections on your own, you discover things by yourself, it is a lasting achievement. This is how Michael Bastine began to understand the inner workings and all the elements that were a part of Mad Bear’s medicine work. Mad Bear blended these elements and they all began working in unison. His medicine work was like an orchestra; so diverse and on so many levels.
Michael defines “medicine” as being the life force that exists in creation and the life force that exists in the person. The interwoven relationship between these two life forces develops over time. This is why the title of a “medicine man” is usually not given until the practitioner reaches the age of 70 years old. Even then, the practitioner will usually not refer to himself as being a “medicine man”.
Traditionally a student of native medicine does not make verbal requests to learn specific things; instead the teacher intuitively picks up on the requests, and when the time is right, and if deserving, the student is shown and his learning advances. This requires patience on the part of the student, genuine humbleness and reverence for all things sacred.
LEARNING TAKES TIME
It took a number of years for Michael Bastine to gain the trust of Mad Bear. He had to demonstrate to Mad Bear that he was trust worthy and his ego was in check. It was very important to Mad Bear that Michael would make use of his medicine teaching in the highest and most respectful way.
It also took years for Michael to absorb & process the information he picked up from Mad Bear along the way. Mad Bear was always on the run. Michael would often leave town with Mad Bear at a moment’s notice.
Michael learned from his apprenticeship with Mad Bear that taking in too much information too soon can overwhelm and impede our progress. He said that learning is a gradual process; we have to grow with it.
NATIVE AMERICAN TEACHINGS RUN PARALLEL
Michael Bastine is Algonquin. He was raised a Christian. His conversion towards Native American Spirituality was primarily influenced by Mad Bear and the Haudenosaunee people. Michael had a chance in 1990 to speak with William Commanda, a respected Algonquin Elder, spiritual leader and Band Chief of the Kitigan-zibi Anishinabeg First Nation in Quebec (near Maniwaki) about this possible contradiction.
William Commanda assured Michael, “You are learning things which are very similar to the teachings and the traditions of the Algonquin. There are a few differences, but that’s what they are ‘differences’. They still have the same understanding and the same premise of approach that parallels with all the Native American teachings.”

Star Nations and Star Knowledge Conferences
“Tarenyawagon united in one person the power of a God and a man, and gave him the expressive name of the “Holder of the Heavens”, and was capable of assuming any form or shape that he chose, but appeared to them only in the form of a man, and taught them hunting, gardening and the knowledge of the arts of war. He imparted to them the knowledge of the laws & government of the Great Spirit, and gave them directions and encouragement on how to fulfill their duties & obligations. He gave them corn, beans and fruits of various kinds, with the knowledge of planting those fruits. He taught them how to kill and to cook the game. He made the forest free to all the tribes to hunt, and removed obstructions from the streams. Tarenyawagon took his position, sometimes, on the top of high cliffs, springing, if needs be, over frightful chasms; and he flew, as it were, over great lakes in a wonderful canoe of immaculate whiteness and of magic power.”
In Iroquois mythology, Sky-Holder (Tarenyawagon) is the benefactor of humans and the high god of the Haudenosaunee tribes. In the mythology of many communities, Sky-Holder is the grandson of Sky-Woman, creator of the human race. To some Iroquois, Sky-Holder is identified as the original husband of Sky Woman, creator of the world but not the human race, who were created by Ioskeha. There are some Iroquois people who assert that Sky-Holder was the name of both Sky-Woman's husband and her grandson, and that the culture hero was either the reincarnation or namesake of the original Sky Chief. Other Iroquois people also believe that the legendary leader Hiawatha or his ally the Great Peacemaker was also a reincarnation or aspect of Sky-Holder. And there are some Iroquois communities that feel that "Sky-Holder" was simply a title of divinity & reverence, meaning that Ioskeha, Sky Woman's husband, Hiawatha and the Peacemaker were all entirely distinct personages.
MILLIONS OF UFO WITNESSES
The “Miracle of the Sun” was an event which occurred on October 13, 1917, near Fatima, Portugal. It was attended by some 30,000 to 100,000 people who stood in the rain. They witnessed extraordinary solar activity and saw an opaque spinning disc in the sky. After the event, the witnesses’ previously wet clothes became suddenly & completely dry.
From 1982-1985, large triangular & boomerang-shaped UFOs were reported over the Hudson Valley by over 7,000 credible witnesses, including police & officials at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant.
In 1989 & 1990, large triangular & rectangular unidentified flying objects, one the size of an aircraft carrier, were reported over Belgium by over 2,000 witnesses, including police & military personnel.
In 1997, multiple sightings of a mile long boomerang-shaped UFO were reported over the state of Arizona by over 10,000 witnesses, including police, military personnel and Republican Governor, Fife Symington.
Thousands of such sightings of physical crafts of unknown origin have been reported throughout the world for decades by credible witnesses.
Recent polls clearly demonstrate that more than 50% of Americans believe that UFOs are a real phenomenon that deserves legitimate recognition and serious study by open-minded, qualified scientists.
Over 36 million Americans have seen a UFO.
In addition to all these witnesses, Jack Barranger, author of “Past Shock”, documented that there a more than 30,000 (ancient) written documents from all over the world that tell of advanced beings who either came to Earth or who were already living on Earth.
WELCOME STAR NATIONS
1996 was the official year that Native Americans came together to disclose their contact with E.T./Star Nations. They have kept this a secret for a very long time. The disclosure was triggered by the 1994 birth of a female white buffalo calf, named “Miracle”, in Janesville, Wisconsin.
Floyd Hand, a Lakota Medicine Man, commented on the birth of Miracle, "For us the Indians, it is like the return of Christ for the white people." The Lakota-Dakota-Nakota Nation (Sioux) had received centuries ago the Sacred Peace Pipe (Chanunpa) from a spiritual female being called “White Buffalo Calf Woman” along with high spiritual teachings.
Prophecies were being given to the Native nations about the coming of the “Buffalo Nation” which first would be the merging of the Red race in unity and harmony with the White, Black and Yellow races. The Buffalo Nation would also mean the coming of the Star Nations, the civilizations from the Stars. One of the prophecies says that these times will be announced by the birth of a female white buffalo calf, which will change color to yellow, red and black. This is exactly what happened to “Miracle” the white buffalo calf. Then to pinpoint the prophecies, a few other white buffalo female calves started to be born, even on Indian reservations.
Arvol Looking Horse, the 19th-Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe for the Sioux Nation, seeing that the prophecies from many Native nations were being fulfilled, called for a “World Peace & Prayer Day” on June 21, 1996. Spirituals leaders & elders, other Sacred Bundle Keepers and many others gathered at Grey Horn Butte. This was also a joint effort of Native Elders and spiritual white people for the first time. Until then, the elder councils of the various tribes from North America were always forbidding their members & medicine men to share their knowledge of sacred spiritual matters, and records pertaining to centuries of Star Nation contact, with the white man.
Sun Bear (Ojibwe) was the first Native American teacher to reveal on a large scale Indian spirituality. Now, from 1996 onwards, the elders started not only to bring the spiritual Native ways to the world, sharing sacred ceremonies with white people, but would reveal their contacts with the Star Nations which were kept secret, up to this time, within sweat lodges & elders councils. The appearance of full circular rainbows around the sun above ceremonies, called “Sun Dog”, would be another sign that the prophecies were about to come to completion. As of today many Native elders are saying that the passage between the 4th World and the 5th World of the Native Americans is occurring right now.
In the winter of 1995, during a four day praying fast, aka Vision Quest (Hanblecheyapi), Standing Elk (Chief Golden Light Eagle), a Ihanktowan Dakota Spiritual Advisor & Sundance Chief, was instructed in a vision to organize the first “Star Knowledge Conference” on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. The vision showed that Native American spiritual knowledge about the Star Nations (extraterrestrials) was to be shared with the world. This first conference also fulfilled ancient Hopi & Lakota prophecies.
During the 1st Star Knowledge Conference, in June 1996, on the Yankton Sioux Reservation, and the many other conferences that followed, various spiritual shamans & elders from many tribes have spoken. Such as:
Plains Tribes: Lakota, Oglala, Dakota, Blackfoot, Nakota & Miniconjou.
Eastern Tribes: Iroquois, Obeida, Seneca, Choctaw & Cherokee.
Southwest Tribes: Hopi, Yuck, Aztec, Apache & Mayan.
Even a Maori Shaman Chief came from New Zealand and a Sami (Laplander) from Scandinavia attended the Star Knowledge Conference because they had seen signs from ancient prophecies telling them that the time had come to share their origin from the stars, the influence of Star Beings visitors on their culture, spiritual beliefs & ceremonies and the imminent return of these Star Nations.
“The Lakota/Dakota Medicine Men are now being instructed to share the spiritual knowledge of the Star Nations because of the contamination of Mother Earth and the pollution of the air.”
Time has come now to share with as much people as possible the Star Knowledge, the knowledge brought now into the open by Native Americans, in order to prepare for global contact with these civilizations they call the “Star Nations”. This will be a quantum leap for the evolution of all the Earth nations. This event will be the fulfillment of all Native American prophecies, and the United States should lead the way. Mitakuye Oyasin!

Sun Bear and his Medicine Wheel gatherings
The seeds of today’s Inter-Tribal Unity Consciousness were paved by many dedicated medicine men & spiritual people of the past. Their attunement with native prophecies, like the Whirling Rainbow & White Buffalo prophecies, allowed these individuals to reach out to the human family of the 4 directions, including the “White Man” who has occupied much or the Red Man’s pristine land on Turtle Island.
From the late 60’s through the 80’s, despite criticism & scorn by fellow Indians, Mad Bear, Rolling Thunder, David Monongye, Thomas Monongye, Semu Huaute, and others like Sun Bear (Ojibwe), Wallace Black Elk (Lakota Sioux), John & Mina Lanza (Hopi), Eddie Box (Southern Ute), Harvey Goodbear (Cheyenne-Arapaho), Oren Lyons (Onondaga), Larry Bird (Santo Domingo-Laguna), Craig Carpenter (Mohawk) and others, have reached out to their non-native brothers & sisters of America, Europe & Australia. As a result, much of today’s inter-tribal unity consciousness has materialized due to their cross-cultural outreach & spiritual mentorship.
Sun Bear (1929-1992) was the most prominent of these men in regards to reaching out to non-native people in mass. Sun Bear was the publisher of “Many Smokes”, a Native American monthly news magazine, which he founded in 1961. He was a supporter of the Unity Caravans and was one of the principal delegates at Mad Bear & Doug Boyd’s Cross-Cultural Conference. In 1971, Sun Bear was instructed by Spirit to start working with non-native men & women. So he formed the Bear Tribe Medicine Society, based out of Spokane, Washington.
At his peak, Sun Bear was speaking to more than 10,000 people a year and he had 320 apprentices who had completed his apprenticeship program.
Sun Bear also founded Medicine Wheel Gatherings in 1981. In total, more than 60,000 people have attended 72 gatherings in the United States, Canada & Europe. In addition, Sun Bear authored a total of 9 books.
In 1993, the National Congress of American Indians issued a “declaration of war” against non-Indian “wannabes”, hucksters, cultists, commercial profiteers, and self-styled New Age shamans. Earlier that year, at the Parliament of the World’s Religions, in Chicago, activists also denounced the commerce in American Indians’ sacred traditions & spirituality. Theses issues dates back at least to the early 1980s, when Indian activists issued forceful condemnations of commercialized spirituality.
Sun Bear has been accused of selling Native American spirituality. This accusation has been used to assassinate his character; whether the accusation has some merit or not. Upon evaluation of Sun Bear’s entire life mission, accomplishments, sacrifices of material wealth, and the traditional path he walked, much of which is documented in his autobiography, “Path of Power”, he certainly appears to have been a legitimate “traditionalist”, medicine man and champion of inter-tribal unity consciousness. If this is the case, Sun Bear deserves proper recognition for his years of service & dedication to the cause.
At the 2015 Eagle Quetzal Condor gathering in Sedona, Arizona, a relatively large contingent of Northern European representatives had attended. Sun Bear’s outreach into Europe, beginning 35 years ago, certainly had a role to play in their appearance.
Fortunately, today there are many non-native people in the U.S and abroad who are walking on the Red Road and working hand-in-hand towards building an inter-tribal unity movement.

Feminine Principle
“The woman is the foundation on which nations are built. She is the heart of her nation. If that heart is weak, the people are weak. If her heart is strong and her mind is clear, then the nation is strong and knows its purpose. The woman is the center of everything.”
It’s time for the women to gather together, heal, and then come heal the men. This indeed, is beginning to happen. Females are breaking their silence. The Grandmothers are coming together, dreaming and initiating future gatherings to bring back the balance and restore natural order.
2012 has shifted the energies on this planet to a slightly positive & feminine dominated orientation that is in alignment with the Galactic Timepiece in accordance with the laws of our Quantum Universe.
The power of Women is returning! The Sacred Feminine energy is back! The women will teach the men the lost art of… Creationing!
DIVINE FEMININE
The sacred interchange of energy of The Great Mystery flows from spirit to matter, and from matter back to spirit. Matter symbolically represents the womb of the Mother. The Mother anchors the energies released from spirit (Father) into matter (Mother). She brings the formless of spirit into form. The Devine Feminine is the highest expression or aspect of man & woman and we need both the Father & Mother for wholeness & balance.
THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN LEGENDS & STORIES
Though the American Indian cultures were often separated by thousands of miles, two common themes persisted; a deep personal connection to Earth and a sense of oneness with all beings and the processes of nature.
Central to most Native American origin stores is that of woman being attributed as the “Mother”, or woman as “Nature”, woman as ancestral mother of tribe or clan, woman as bestower of culture, woman as the “Warrior Maiden”, etc.
In some stories, Spider Woman or Grandmother Spider existed in the Original Womb Void at the beginning of time and spun her web while singing the world into creation, sometimes with the help of her two daughters (Ut Set & Nau Ut Set). In other legends, Grandmother Spider made the four different races from colored clay (red, white, black & yellow).
Grandmother Spider is the creative female energy at the center of all spirit & creation. In other legends, the Mother aspect is honored, as with the Keres, a Pueblo tribe.
The Oneida have a legend honoring the Warrior Maiden aspect of the Divine Feminine. An Oneida maiden (Aliquipiso) nobly sacrifices her life to save her people. When their ruthless enemy (the Mingos) invades their land, the Oneida flee into the mountains. The Great Spirit appears to the maiden telling her how she can lead the enemy into a trap so that they can easily be destroyed. It involves great personal sacrifice, and at the end, her life.
Legends & stories are central to American Indian culture and provide an oral means for transferring culture, history and tradition from one generation to another. Tribal leaders & medicine people also use stories to provide guidance for operating in and understanding the universe. Some stories prepare them for daily life, others forewarn of different supernatural entities, or of animal or plant entities they might encounter.
Legends & stories teach the right & wrong way to proceed in the natural & supernatural worlds, preparing Native Americans for their own experiences. Humans, animals, plants, spirits, supernaturals, and deities like Spider Woman and Corn Woman, are all connected and interconnected in the Great Web of Life.
WOMEN & MOON TIME
From a Native perspective, women’s periods are called being in one’s “moon time”, which refers to the monthly moon cycle. The moon goes around the Earth, perfectly, 13 times a year. In the Solar-Lunar calendar there are 13 months, 28 days each month. The female’s biological cycle is 28 days as well. She is in sync with the natural procession of nature.
The forces opposed to unity consciousness imposed the Gregorian Calendar on indigenous (Pagan) people to break their connection to Mother Nature. This calendar was introduced in 1582 by the Pope. It, of course, is a 12 month calendar.
In most Native cultures, moon time is considered to be a sacred time; a time of inner purification. Moon time for a woman is considered a ceremony in itself. It represents the power of birth and the power of life. Women are “life-givers”. Moon Time is a time of inward purification; a time of prayer, of actually asking the moon for guidance & assistance. At this time, women have to be careful not to take in negativity. The Grandmother Moon is there for guidance.
It is also very important that women in their Moon Time do not participate in ceremonies; including touching or handling any sacred objects (pipes or medicine). Menstruation signifies the power of birth, whereas ceremonies often signify a spiritual rebirth. The two do not mix. Ceremonies are about creating outward energy while moon time is about inner prayer. A lot of ceremonies also involve the sun, while Moon Time solely involves the moon.
MEDICINE WOMEN
When the general public thinks of Native healers & "Medicine Men”, they normally don’t associate medicine with women. The truth is, some of the greatest medicine people were & are women.
Traditionally, Medicine Women were the local psychologists, therapists, physicians and marriage counselors. In some tribes, the Medicine Women were given the responsibility of making warrior shields, for it was believed that they had special powers that would give those war shields added protection for the owners.
The practicing of medicine ways was a full time job. The well-being & emotional balance of the tribe belonged to the Medicine Woman. In return for her services, she was cared for by the members of the village. She always had food, shelter, her needs met, assistance when it was needed and special spirit gifts that showed the honor & respect of her people.
The art of being a Medicine Woman has not been lost. There are more practicing Medicine Women alive today than ever before using the same old natural ways combined with today’s new healing technologies. There are herbalists, naturalists, aroma therapists, massage therapists and those who teach spirituality, awareness, meditation skills, etc. The Medicine Women continues to care for their families & loved ones with all the tools available to them so they can walk in balance and live life in health & harmony.

“Spiritual Unity of Tribes” gatherings
“I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.”
Another gathering lineage of great importance to inter-tribal unity consciousness is the “Spiritual Unity of Tribes” gatherings, founded by Tlingit elder, James Wilbur Walton (Khaalaaxh), who was a leader of the Kaagwaantaan Wolf House of Sitka.
In 1953, James read the book “Black Elk Speaks”. He was so taken by the teachings of unity of all peoples and by Black Elk’s vision, as it was relayed in the book, that he went to the Sacred Black Hills, in South Dakota, to find the family of Black Elk and to determine if the book had accurately portrayed Black Elk’s vision.
Henry Black Elk, the grandson of Black Elk met with James and confirmed Black Elk’s vision. From that time on, James dedicated his life to bringing about a rebirth of traditional indigenous teachings in order to affect the health of his people and in order to help bring Black Elk’s vision into reality.
In the early 1980s, James traveled across the United States, talking to elders and spiritual leaders of many tribes to learn more about the spiritual prophesies and to garner a better understanding of the meaning behind those teachings. Whenever he spoke with elders he sought permission to begin holding sacred gatherings.
In 1988, James consulted with the Cree Elders (Saulteaux) on the Pasqua Reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada, including the family of James Iron Eagle and his son Harvey Iron Eagle. He spoke with them regarding the many prophecies of the indigenous people and the time of their fulfillment. It was Grandmother Iron Eagle who was the first in this family discussion to recognize that “the time had come”.
It was initially believed that only the medicine people and the elders would gather together to consult, and then teach and lead others. But Grandmother Iron Eagle and other elders on the Pasqua Reserve felt there wasn't much time remaining; that there had to be Gatherings “now”. Understanding must be given to all mankind, and as many as possible must be included. The elders said things must be done "in a good way" so that the prophecies could be fulfilled as they had been revealed.
The guidance of the elders was followed and the first Spiritual Unity of Tribes gathering was held on the Pasqua Reserve, outside of Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1989. As of 2016, there have been hundreds of Spiritual Unity Gatherings held worldwide, including two in Siberia, several in Alaska and 17 in Australia.

Eagle meets Condor prophecy manifests
NORTH & SOUTH UNIFICATION
“The Eagle and the Condor” prophecy is an ancient Amazon prophecy that speaks of human societies splitting into two paths, that of the Eagle and that of the Condor. The path of the Condor is the path of heart, of intuition, and of the feminine. The path of the Eagle is the path of the mind, of the industrial, and of the masculine.
The prophecy says that the 1490’s would begin a 500 year period during which the Eagle people would become so powerful that they would virtually drive the Condor people out of existence. This can be seen in the conquering of the Americas and the killing & oppressing of indigenous peoples in the subsequent 500 years, up to and including today.
The prophecy says that during the next 500 year period, beginning in 1990, the potential would arise for the Eagle and the Condor to come together, to fly in the same sky, and to create a new level of consciousness for humanity. The prophecy only speaks of the potential, so it’s up to us to activate this potential and ensure that a new consciousness is allowed to arise.
This “Eagle & Condor” prophecy is remarkable in that it marks the first truly international indigenous prophecy widely embraced by both Native & European-descended peoples.
Click on these links to reach the gathering website:
A INTER-TRIBAL PROPHECY
The prophecy of the Eagle & Condor is told within many traditional indigenous cultures of North, Central and South America. They all point towards a time when the human family will face the choice of evolutionary transformation or destruction. This time is now!
One version of the prophecy comes from Lauro Hinostroza, a Peruvian healer who now lives in Mexico City. It states that in the historical cycles of the Incan peoples at the end of the eighth Pachakuti (each Pachakuti corresponds to five hundred years), the Eagle peoples would dominate the Condor peoples for one Pachakuti.
This coincided with the arrival of Europeans, with their extractive economy & industries, leading to the exploitation, depopulation, and even genocidal eradication of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The reign of the Eagle peoples was foretold to nearly bring into extinction the Condor peoples of the South.
The prophecy continues with the claim that the tenth Pachakuti, from the end of the twentieth century, would be a time for the peoples of the Condor and the Eagle to fly and mate together in a creative symbiosis to restore and regenerate the Earth community.
One marker of this opening of the tenth Pachakuti is the emerging unification of indigenous peoples & traditions, North & South, as well as the “indigenizing” of Westerners previously with a lost native consciousness of connection to the Earth and its larger, non-human community.
THE MAYAN TIMEKEEPERS
The Mayans have an Eagle & Condor prophecy as well, and their prophecy also correlates with a window of time & date that we are all familiar with, December 21, 2012. This date did not mark the “end of the world”, it instead delineates the beginning of a new world cycle.
In 1985, the Mayan Elders actively began to make preparations to organize an inter-tribal ceremony that would close the last world cycle “in a good way” via a gathering of tribes from North, South & Central America. In doing so, the transition into the new world cycle would be a smoother ride.
In addition, the Eagle & Condor prophecy would also be fulfilled as prophesized. The Eagle & Condor would fly together in the same sky.
PATRICIO DOMINGUEZ
Don Patricio Dominguez (Piro Manso Tiwa), from New Mexico, had an unforeseeable encounter with a Mayan Elder in the early stages of the Mayan’s organizing efforts. This meeting eventually led to his assignment of being the North American coordinator for the first gathering (and subsequent gatherings) initiated by the lineage of the Mayan timekeepers.
Patricio was born 1949 in a small “traditional” community and was cultured by his parents, grandparents and his great grandmother, who lived until he was 13 years old. At the age of five, Patricio was presented in a public ceremony to the medicine men to be blessed as a man of spiritual knowledge. Patricio, later in life, married a Navajo lady who was also raised with native traditional values. He presently is on the Board of Directors of a few non-profit corporations and on the advisory committee of the International Indigenous Coalition.
PATRICIO & THE MAYAN TIMEKEEPERS
Don Patricio Dominguez has witnessed the reunification of the Eagle & Condor via his organizing efforts with the Mayan Timekeepers. From his vantage point, a great deal of disclosure can be told regarding the present state of inter-tribal unity consciousness. He has given a few talks in regards to this subject matter, which will be briefly summarized here.
Mayan people in ancient times were given the very important assignment of keeping time. Others indigenous tribes were given other tasks, like being the keepers of wisdom, the keepers of social dances, etc. They all held pieces of the puzzle. They all were given sacred instructions.
In 1985, a call from the Mayan Timekeepers went out through the Americas, North, Central & South; it’s time to prepare for the new world cycle by closing out the last world cycle “in a good way”. The 26,000 year cycle is completing! All the tribes need to get together to perform ceremony and pray together to open the new age, the Golden Age.
Patricio, as North American coordinator, had the extremely difficult task of recruiting U.S. & Canadian tribes to participate in the ceremony. Many of these tribes, due to B.I.A.-type politics and previous termination & assimilation attempts, were not to receptive and opted out of the inter-tribal gathering process. Many poor excuses were given; however, some tribes did respond and eventually participated in the unity process.
In 1992, five hundred years after Columbus first arrived in the Americas, the first gathering of Indigenous Elders, from North, South and Central America, was held. This gathering was problematic and ended up becoming the “unofficial first gathering” to lay the ground work for the official gathering to take place in 1995. 4 North American tribal delegates, representing four tribes, attended this first unofficial gathering. The Maya had around 90 tribal delegates. Tribal delegates from the South were also in attendance. It was a 10 day gathering.
It was agreed at this “unofficial first gathering” that future gathering locations would rotate between North, South & Central America since transportation was problematic for some elders and others did not want to risk traveling into Central America, which was a dangerous place to visit due to the civil wars and pro-communist revolutions that have occurred. It was also decided that it would take 3 gatherings (North, South & Central) to complete the process of closing out the last world cycle “in a good way”.
[Gathering One]
1995, “Gathering One” (1st meeting of the Continental Council of Indigenous Elders) was held in Tical, Guatemala (Central America). 5-10 delegates from North America, 60 from South America and hundreds from Central America were in attendance.
[Gathering Two]
1997, “Gathering Two” (2nd reunion of the Continental Council of Indigenous Elders) was held in the Colombian Amazon (South America).
[Gathering Three]
1999, “Gathering Three” (3rd reunion of the Continental Council of Indigenous Elders) was held in New Mexico (North America). 300 tribes were represented.
This third gathering was organized by Don Patricio Dominguez. He, previously, was blessed in ceremony around the council fire with the bastone (staff), which gave him the mandate to proceed with organizing next and final gathering.
Gathering Three took Patricio six years of fundraising at a cost of $300,000. He had a staff of 15, along with 100 volunteers, 15 security guards, 9 kitchen helpers and 6 people behind marketing & promotion.
At the end of Gathering Three, the last world cycle was closed “pretty much” “in a good way”, although Patricio says the process was admittedly “a little rough” and they did “the best they could”.
It was agreed at this gathering that the “gatherings” and gathering lineage & legacy should continue. Now that the last world cycle was closed out “in a good way” it was decided that the next gathering would focus on the further reunification of the Eagle & Condor.
[Gathering Four]
2009, the 4th gathering “Return of the Ancestors” (4th reunion of the Continental Council of Indigenous Elders) was held in Northern Arizona. This was a gathering of the Eagle & Condor.
The bastone was previously passed to a South American (Bolivia) delegation, but after 6 years they were not successful in their organizing attempts, so the bastone was then ceremonially passed to Adam “Yellowbird” to organize in North America.
Unique to this 4th gathering, was the invitation & representation of other tribes outside of the Americas.
Back in 1985, when the call from the Mayan timekeepers went out through the Americas to close the last world cycle “in a good way”, the Maya stated in their call that “not one person should be left behind. After Gathering Three, Patricio came to the realization that the Maya were not actually stating that not just one person from a native group be left behind. They meant, not one person from “any race” of people (the Rainbow people) should be left behind. Thus, Patricio assisted the 4th gathering in its effort to represent all the tribes on Mother Earth, which included Pacific Islanders, Asians, Europeans, Africans, etc.
[Gathering Five]
2015, the 5th gathering was held in Sedona, Arizona. The Quetzal bird, considered divine and associated with the "snake god" Quetzalcoatl, was flying amongst the Eagle & Condor at this event, thus this was a gathering of the “Eagle, Quetzal & Condor”.
During this gathering the mandate to organize the next gathering was given to a young lady from the Peru delegation. This time a bastone was not passed, instead the young lady opted for a jar of ashes from the council fire to be passed on to her in good faith.
GATHERING LINEAGES
These 5 gatherings that Patricio helped coordinate are tied into the gathering lineage that traces back to the original 1985 call from the Mayan Timekeepers to close out the last world cycle “in a good way”.
There are other gathering lineages that have come and gone. Some are alive & active, while others are hard to keep track of, or are held in secrecy.
One past historical gathering relating to the Eagle & Condor, was held by the Echa Tah Echa Nah (The Mighty and Wise One), the Great White Chief of the Chigaraguan people. He organized 2 mass inter-tribal meetings in Mexico in 1939 & 1940 with an estimated audience of 150,000-250,000 people and was covered by news outlets, like Life Magazine. In attendance were people as far north as Alaska as well as South Americans.
CONFEDERATION OF ELDERS
The bond between the Eagle & Condor has been birthed again as a result of the Mayan-initiated gatherings and from other similar unity events, like the Spiritual Unity of Tribes gatherings. Now it’s time for greater inter-tribal unity, both spiritual & political. The time when tribes can live independently has passed. Now is the time for pan-Indian unity!
Since 2009, Don Patricio Dominguez has expressed his intentions to assist in the formation of an organized confederation of elders (League of Peoples) so that all the tribes can more efficiently stand united together as a “united front” in their struggles to defend their land, their customs and their spiritual traditions against governments & multi-national corporations.
As it presently stands, the Mayan-initiated gatherings and other similar unity events are loosely organized with no clear agenda items in place that are universally & collectively agreed upon by all of the tribal elders.
South & Central America in general have better inter-tribal political organization. North America, ever since the Unity Caravan days of the late 60’s & early 70’s, has lost much of its pan-Indian cohesiveness due to the aftermath of U.S. termination & assimilation policies and other divide & conquer methods that were employed to oppose inter-tribal unity consciousness on Turtle Island.
At present, according to Patrico, the same old problem keeps coming up at the gatherings. The council meetings never seem to produce a viable structured organization to keep the connections that formed at these gatherings alive.
UNIVERSAL GUIDELINES, PRINCIPLES & AGENDA ITEMS
There are, however, many efforts in place to foster pan-Indian unity and to create universal guidelines, principles, agenda items, etc. that will set the unity movement on a positive & progressive trajectory, in alignment with traditional core values.
For example, the “Fourth Way” initiative:
Chief Phil Lane Jr. is a traditionally recognized Hereditary Chief & elder. He is a member of the Ihanktonwan Dakota & Chickasaw Nations and is a citizen of both the U.S. & Canada.
Chief Phil Lane, Jr. is an internationally recognized indigenous leader in human & community development who founded the Four World's International Institute an organization dedicated to "unifying the human family through the Fourth Way."
Instead of indigenous people pursuing the path of “Assimilation”, “Resignation” or “Resistance”, the Fourth Way is “Empowerment” & “Constructive Development” that will lead to sustainable peace, social justice and shared economic prosperity. This Fourth Way has always been known and advocated by indigenous spiritual leaders.
What is relatively new is that now there are many political leaders of indigenous movements across the Americas who are open to the “Fourth Way” and this is very hopeful. The other 3 pathways (Assimilation, Resignation & Resistance) they have tried and it only created deeper misery & suffering for their people.
The “Fourth Way” is a path the indigenous cannot walk alone; it is to be traveled jointly with other supporting NGO’s, governments, business communities, international funding agencies, etc.
INTER-TRIBAL UNITY REVIVAL
Despite the death of many Traditional Elders & political tribal leaders in the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s and the demise of Unity Caravans in 1973, there has been a growing pan-Indian unity revival.
This revival was triggered by a cosmic event in accordance with the Galactic Timepiece. That event was the named the “Harmonic Convergence” and it took place on August 17 & 18, in 1987.
This name was given to label the first globally synchronized meditation, which was orchestrated by José Argüelles. The dates correlated to an exceptional alignment of planets in our solar system.
The timing of the Harmonic Convergence correlated with the Mayan calendar, with some consideration also given to European & Asian astrological traditions. The chosen dates had the distinction of marking a planetary alignment with the Sun, Moon and six out of eight planets being "part of the grand trine."
According to author, Tony Shearer (Lakota), the dates of the Harmonic Convergence was the end of the “9 Hells” and the beginning of the “13 Heavens” in the Aztec Calendar, which meant the end to the eradication of the wisdom of Mesoamerica.
Today, Mesoamerica (Quetzal) teachings are popular everywhere, as well as the wisdom teachings of the Southern Condor & Northern Eagle. Inter-tribal gatherings, events, ceremonies, websites, organizations, Facebook groups, etc. are too numerous to name.
LEADERSHIP
The key towards moving forward is to establish good spiritual leadership to lead the masses through the process of Purification. The reunification of the Eagle, Quetzal and Condor and the appearance of leaders who have converged to fulfill this prophecy indicate that the forces of inter-tribal unity consciousness are leading humanity on the right path.
