An Evening with Kevin Locke “Make No Bones About It.” August 22, 2010 5pm

Posted on August 6, 2010 | Leave a comment

Kevin Locke is the world-renowned Lakota visionary Hoop Dancer and preeminent player of indigenous Northern Plains flute, a traditional storyteller, cultural ambassador, recording artist and an educator. Kevin has travelled to over 80 countries and works tirelessly to convey something universal about our human condition through the folk art of his community. Kevin believes that we can each draw from our individual heritage to create a vibrant, evolving global civilization that embraces and celebrates our diversity and collective heritage.

Through the medium of the ancient Native American Hoop Dance, Kevin Locke presents a worldview that includes all cultures and all peoples. Lakota mystic Black Elk called this worldview the ‘Great Hoop of Life’. Through words, music, and dance, this presentation will convey Kevin’s own voice and the voice of his ancestors, who were stewards of the earth and a people committed to living with the land. This presentation will also emphasize the voice of the marginalized peoples.

Historically, these peoples have created sustainable life systems, and knowledge traditions still exist within indigenous beliefs that can enhance our current efforts to create a sustainable world. Teaching through the domain of the arts, Kevin offers a program that will appeal to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners by generating an experience that creates an awareness of our shared humanity.

“We need to remember who we are and where we are from but also remember that our reality is our soul, our spiritual reality, and that transcends gender, ethnicity, and language. It is possible to be decent members of the human being tribe no matter where we live or who we are!”

We are Spirit we are Soul…Our reality is our soul, our spiritual reality  transcends gender, ethnicity and language. – Kevin Locke

An Evening with Chief Arvol Looking Horse and Chief Phil Lane Jr.

Posted on June 14, 2010 | 4 comments

A fulfillment of Sacred Prophecies and a Call to all nations to Global Spiritual action on June 21, 2010

Chief Arvol Looking Horse and Chief Phil Lane Jr- Call all members of the Human Family to action on June 21, 2010

And here’s the message. “On June 21,” said Looking Horse, “shut off the electricity and let’s pray.”

A Great Urgency: To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders

My Relatives,

Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth.

As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc¹I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children¹s future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Onipikte (that we shall live),

Chief Arvol Looking Horse

19th generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe

An Evening with Chenoa Egawa – May 30, 2010 5pm

Posted on April 25, 2010 | 1 comment
Join Raven and his guest Chenoa Egawa as they talk about her music and projects.

Chenoa Egawa

Chenoa Egawa is a member of the Lummi and S’Kallam Nations of Washington State. For the past ten years, she has worked as the First Nations MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) Coordinator through the University of Washington to encourage Native students to pursue higher education and careers in science, math and engineering. Her work with MESA includes developing curriculum, workshops and classroom models that celebrate and integrate Native American culture, values, contributions, accurate history, current issues and spirituality in an effort to foster self-empowerment among Native youth and greater equity in the public educational system.

Chenoa is also a gifted teacher, singer, songwriter and performance artist and a powerful advocate for indigenous peoples. As a vocalist, she has released five CD’s— Songs of Strength and Beauty (Cool Runnings, 2007), Spirit of Salishan (Swan Clan Productions, 2007), Heartbeat of Life (Swan Clan Productions, 2006), Road of Life (Swan Clan Productions, 2002) and Sacred Fire (Sound of America Records, 1997). She was a grant recipient of the First Nations Composers Initiative in 2007 and a grant recipient of the Jack Straw Foundation Artist Support Program in 2005, and again in 2010. Her experience as an actor includes performing in lead roles in the World Premiere of Ghosts of Celilo at Portland, Oregon’s Newmark Theatre in 2007, where she also won the Portland Area Musical Theatre Award for ”Best Original Score” (co-writer); in Sacagawea, at the Oregon Children’s Theatre in 2003, and at the New Visions, New Voices series at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center in May 2002. She is also host of the Native news television programs Northwest Indian News and Native Heartbeat both viewed across the Western United States, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska and New Zealand, and hosted the one-hour documentary, Inside Passage, for PBS shown nationwide. She has performed as a singer and storyteller at numerous schools, and music, arts and cultural venues.

Chenoa has long been active in international work for Indigenous peoples. In 1991, she worked as an intern at the United Nations Center for Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland, serving as a member of the Secretariat during the 10th Session of the Working Group of Indigenous Peoples. In 1996, she was part of an international Native delegation that traveled to Chile to support Mapuche and Pehuenche Indigenous communities in their efforts to halt construction of large-scale dams on their homelands. In 1997, she received a two-year international fellowship from the Institute of Current World Affairs to study, write and publish on issues concerning Indigenous peoples of Mexico and Guatemala. She is the first, and only Native American to date, to receive an ICWA Fellowship.

In January 2010, Chenoa and her partner, Alex Turtle, were invited to Colombia, South America to participate in a cultural gathering where they shared some of their teachings with indigenous peoples of Colombia, Peru and Ecuador.
