INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY / WEEKEND 2025 –– SANTA FE NM - HONORING SOVEREIGNTY OF NATIVE NATIONS – Native Media Network

I N D I G E N O U S = T O B E O F A P L A C E

Dear Friends:
Some 345 years ago (1680) the Pueblo Indians up under the leadership of PoPay to revolt and drive out the Spanish colonials from their ancestral and indigenous lands giving rise to what has evolved into todays All Indian Pueblo Council representing the Welfare and Sovereignty of the 19 remaining Pueblo Indian Tribes.

Some 149 years ago (1876) at the Battle of Greasy Grass along the Little Big Horn River led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. Crow Indian Warriors stood up and handed Gen. Custer a resounding defeat marking the beginning of the 7th generation that is with us today.

“Over 100 years ago, James Red Fox (Blackfoot) rode his pony from Montana to Washington, DC. He hand delivered to President Coolidge a petition signed by 27 Governors calling for a National Indian Day and the Right to Vote (Citizenship). “

This Weekend October 10 – 13, we honor Indigenous Peoples Day 2025 for the 7th generation to come (2250), We would like to honor the leaders of the Water Protectors, DAPLE, MMIW, AIM, LAND BACK, TRIBAL OFFICIALS and BRAVE WARRIORS that are standing up for Indigenous Peoples Rights.

NO KINGS DAY OCTOBER18th – COMMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU – https://www.nokings.org/ - Native Media Network

UNALIENABLE RIGHTS OF PEOPLES , INDIGENOUS CULTURES and TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY, ARE BEING THREATENED BY THE CURRENT GOVERNING REGIME AND MAGA MOVEMENT.

Dear Friends and Relatives:
In The United States, we don’t put up with would-be kings.
Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

JOE TOHONNIE JR. AND WHITE MOUNTAIN APACHE CROWN DANCERS – Indian Village New Mexico State Fair 2025 – Evening Fire Ceremony - Native Media Network

PREPARING FOR BLESSING CEREMONY – BODY, SPEECH, AND MIND.

Dear Friends and Relatives:
The Evening Fire Ceremony and Blessing for all in need of Solace and Spiritual guidance by Joe Tohonnie Jr. summoned the creator with prayer and the Crown dancers blessed the Indian Village Arena and People attending the event.

The Chants and Dancing invited the Thunder Spirits with Lightning with a torrential rain blessing the people and purifying all negativity.

There are five Crown Dancers, including four masked dancers representing the directions of north, south, east, and west. And a fifth dancer, the clown, who protects the others by driving away evil spirits with the sound of his hummingbull-roarer, a thin piece of wood suspended from a string and swung in a circle.

Joe Tohonnie Jr. Explains the significance of the White Mountain Crown Dance and the Blessings they perform. https://nm.pbslearningmedia.org/resou... Joe Tahonie Jr., White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers, ExpoNM, Native Media Network

Crown Dancing is a very old and sacred dance tradition. According to Apache belief, the dance was taught to the Apache by the mountain spirits as a means of healing. The Crown Dancers are the Gaan or mountain spirits. Apache’s believe that Usen, the Creator, sent the Gaan to the Apache to teach them to live in harmony.

The dancers decide what symbols to put on their crowns. Symbols often honor forms in nature, and many crowns include the Apache cross to signify the four sacred directions. Some crown headdresses are adorned with eagle feathers, because the eagle is sacred to the Apache. Lightning, another sacred symbol, is often painted on the bodies of Apache Crown Dancers.
The dancers are not allowed to talk to one another, so they communicate with their sticks during the dance.

The White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers ceremony is a ritual where the dancers embody the Gaan (Mountain Spirits) through masks and ornate wooden crowns to celebrate community and tradition, often performed during a Sunrise Dance (coming-of-age ceremony) for young Apache women. The five dancers include a "clown" and others representing cardinal directions, using their movements and dances to influence weather, bring blessings, heal the sick, and protect the village.

PURPOSE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF CROWN DANCE.
• Spiritual Connection:
The dancers, known as the Gaan, act as spiritual messengers, channeling the sacred power of the Mountain Spirits to the community.
• Blessings and Protection:
The ceremony is performed to bless the newly initiated girl, purify the village, influence the weather, and protect the community from evil spirits.

• Community and Tradition:
The dance celebrates and reinforces community bonds, honors ancestors, and passes on traditional Apache wisdom.
The Dancers and Regalia

• Embodiment of the Gaan:
Dancers wear black masks and elaborate, symbolic wooden crowns adorned with mirrors and sometimes feathers.

• The Five Dancers:
• A group of five dancers are involved:

• Four Directional Dancers: Represent the cardinal directions (North, South, East, West).

• The Clown: A fifth dancer who is a messenger, guide, and performer of specific blessings.

• Bonfire and Music:
• The dance typically takes place around a bonfire at night, accompanied by singing and drumming from a group of men.

• Sacred Herbs and Symbols:
• Sacred herbs, like cattail pollen, are used for blessings, and symbols such as lightning are painted on the dancers' bodies.

• Connection to the Sunrise Dance:
• The Crown Dance often occurs on the final night of the Sunrise Dance ceremony, where a girl transitions into womanhood.
The sacred fire serves as a physical and spiritual anchor for the ceremony.

• Symbolic portal: The fire is viewed as a "spiritual doorway" that opens to the spirit world, allowing for communication with ancestors. It is a way for participants to offer prayers and connect with those who have passed on.

• Purification and healing: The bonfire's cleansing properties are used to purify the space and drive away any negative or evil spirits. In the context of a healing ritual, the fire is an important element for spiritual and physical cleansing.

• A focus for the dance: The Crown Dancers, who embody the Gaan (Mountain Spirits), perform their dances and chants around the bonfire. The fire's light and warmth enhance the nighttime ceremony and provide a focal point for the ritual.

• Connection and community: Like other sacred fires in indigenous traditions, the bonfire provides a central gathering point for the community to come together to celebrate, share food, and reflect on their purpose.

• Traditional protocols: The bonfire is attended by a Fire Keeper, a person responsible for maintaining the fire throughout the ceremony to ensure it is never left unattended. Only sacred items, such as to***co, sweetgrass, and sage, are placed into the fire.

Joe Tohonnie Jr. never intended to spend his life making spiritual music and leading a dance troupe. But when he was 6 years old, his grandfather told him that he had to learn and practice the music, dances, and blessings of his people. “I said I didn’t want to do it and tried to make him see that. I wasn’t given a choice,” Tohonnie says. “Now I know it was my destiny.”

Tohonnie and his Apache Crown Dancers travel throughout the United States performing sacred dances and indigenous music and providing blessings at the gatherings. It’s not a commercial venture, he says. “I am not a traditional singer. I do this for my people in the tradition of my grandfather.”

Tohonnie generally records and distributes his music for free. Two of his records — Apache Blessings & Crown Dance Songs and Ceremony — have won him highly coveted Grammy Award nominations for Best Regional Roots Music Album.

But it’s the music, more than the awards, that has won him a cross-cultural fan base. Tohonnie says he’s quick to point out to Native American kids with musical aspirations that they should not try to replicate his style but should instead hone their individual talents. Tohonnie believes that’s the way Native American music and traditions will continue to spread.

“My greatest goal is to have my culture and our traditions out there in the world,” he says. “I want to let the world see that you don’t have to be Native American to enjoy and be blessed by these things. We are all human beings — we’re all from the same blood, the same bodies, the same hearts. I am just so honored to have people inspired by my music.”

WE ARE NOT ALONE – C/2025 R2 (SWAN HAS JUST JOINED 3I/ATLAS ON ITS JOURNEY AROUND THE SUN – THE PLIEADIAN ORAL HISRORY IS UNFOLDING - Native Media Network

A new interstellar visitor—C/2025 R2 (SWAN)—is one hundred times larger and brighter, streaking toward the Sun with a colossal plasma tail five Moons wide.

Dear Friends:
A 100,000 year old myth (The oldest continuously told story of our Mother Earths history is unfolding before our eyes and Human legacy.

Astronomers have just discovered something far bigger and stranger than 3I/ATLAS.

A new interstellar visitor—C/2025 R2 (SWAN)—is one hundred times larger and brighter, streaking toward the Sun with a colossal plasma tail five Moons wide.

Both will swing behind the Sun in October 2025, disappearing from every telescope on Earth simultaneously. Avi Loeb calls ATLAS the “scout” and SWAN the “fortress”—a returning probe on a 22,000-year orbit, possibly here for refueling, data collection, or something either Liberating or far more dangerous Purification.

(NOT TO WORRY, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE OUTCOME) OR (MAYBE, THIS IS JUST AN INFORMATIONAL FLY-BY) OR (MAYBE, THE AUNTIES AND UNCLES ARE JUST CHECKING THINGS OUT).

Unlike any natural comet, it carries a nickel–cobalt armored hull, a plasma-drive exhaust, and a core radiating more power than two colliding black holes. Even more unsettling, its path overlaps with 3I/ATLAS.

Myths about the Pleiades star cluster are found in many cultures across the globe and may be among the oldest stories in human history, potentially dating back 100,000 years. The visibility of the star cluster, which has changed over millennia, is believed to be the reason for many similar stories about "seven sisters," even though only six are clearly visible to the naked eye today.

Possible origins dating back 100,000 years
In 2020, astronomers and archaeologists suggested that widespread myths about seven stars in the Pleiades cluster could have originated as far back as 100,000 BCE.

• A disappearing star: Scientific analysis shows that 100,000 years ago, the star Pleione was farther away from the star Atlas, making it appear as a separate star. As the stars moved closer together over time, they became too difficult to distinguish as separate points of light.

• Human migration: Since the seventh star would have been visible to early humans in Africa, the "Seven Sisters" story may have been carried across continents during human migration and preserved through oral tradition.

RECORDED PLEIADES MYTHS AND ORAL HISTORY

In addition to the most ancient origins, many cultures have developed their own interpretations of the Pleiades at different times in history:

• Mesopotamia: The Babylonian astronomical texts known as the MUL.APIN, produced from the 7th century BCE, refer to records concerning the Pleiades from as early as the 26th century BCE.

• Ancient Greece: Greek mythology formally recorded stories about the Pleiades, the seven daughters of the Titan Atlas and the Oceanid Pleione. In one myth, the sisters were pursued by the hunter Orion until Zeus transformed them into stars. Written accounts appear as early as 1000 BCE in Hesiod's Works and Days and in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

• Biblical references: The Pleiades, referred to as "Khima," are mentioned three times in the Old Testament books of Job and Amos, with the earliest texts dating to the 7th or 6th centuries BCE.

• Indigenous Australians: Many Aboriginal traditions include stories of the "Seven Sisters." In some versions, the sisters are fleeing from a male figure in the sky. The consistency of these stories with the Greek myths is a key piece of evidence for the 100,000-year-old origin theory.

NORTH AMERICAN TRADITIONS:

• Similar myths exist among Native American tribes. For example, the Kiowa tribe tells a story of seven maidens who were placed in the sky by the Great Spirit to save them from giant bears. The Navajo, Lakota, and Cherokee have their own versions of Pleiades stories as well.

• Navajo (Diné) Nightway Ceremony: The Pleiades, or Dilyéhé, are featured in a nine-night healing ceremony. Black God, a central figure in Navajo cosmology, wears a ceremonial mask adorned with the Pleiades, symbolizing the constellation's importance in maintaining cosmic order.

• Kiowa ceremonies: Oral histories among the Kiowa link the Pleiades to Devils Tower, a sacred site. The Kiowa tell of seven girls who became the Pleiades to escape a bear, whose claw marks are said to be visible on the tower.

• Ojibwe traditions: The Pleiades are known to the Ojibwe as the "Hole in the Sky" (Bagone-giizhig) and are seen as a portal to the spirit world. Traditional storytelling and ceremonies are often connected to this and other star knowledge.

ASIAN TRADITIONS
• Asia: The Pleiades are noted in Chinese astronomical literature as early as 2357 BCE. They were also observed by the Japanese (Subaru), Indian (Krittika), and Thai (Dao Luk Kai) people, among others.

MAORI OF NEW ZEALAND TRADITIONS:
