For ten days in June, the Yankton Sioux Reservation on the windswept
high plains of South Dakota was a gathering place for indigenous tribal
leaders from around the globe and hundreds of Native and Euro-American
listeners. The occasion was the Star Knowledge Conference and Sun Dance,
convoked by Lakota (Sioux) spiritual leader Standing Elk in response to
a vision. The vision showed that Native American spiritual knowledge
about the Star Nations was to be shared. This Conference also fulfilled
ancient Hopi and Lakota prophecies. Spiritual shamans from the Plains
tribes (Lakota, Oglala, Dakota, Blackfoot, Nakota) were joined by
spokespersons from the Eastern (Iroquois, Oneida, Seneca and Choctaw)
and Southwest (Hopi, Yaqui and Mayan) tribes. In addition, the chief
Maori shaman came from New Zealand at the southern end of the world, as
well as a spokeswoman for the Sammi (Laplander) people from above the
Arctic Circle. They came because they had seen signs now occurring which
had been predicted by ancient prophecies. These signs signified to them
that the time had come to speak openly about their most closely-held
oral traditions. These traditions include their origin from the stars,
the influence of Star People visitors on the formation of their culture
and their spiritual beliefs and ceremonies, and the imminent return of
the Star Nations.
Unprecedented as this gathering was, further precedent was set when
Standing Elk, in a published announcement with apology to all Elders,
declared that this sacred knowledge "is to be shared with our brothers
of the four directions", (the entire non-Native world). Additionally, he
invited world-famous Euro/American experts on extraterrestrials to also
speak at this gathering of elders. Among those speaking were such
notables as former NATO intelligence Sgt.-Major Bob Dean, Harvard
Professor John Mack, MD, author Whitley Strieber, CSETI assistant
director Martin Keller, former acting Finnish Surgeon-General Rauni
Kilde, MD, Professor Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D., ET research psychologist
Richard Boylan, Ph.D., Professor Courtney Brown, Ph.D., Italian
stigmatic-experiencer Giorgio Bongiovanni, German researcher Michael
Hesemann, former CIA paranormal operatives Dea Martin and Derrel Sims,
contactees Marilyn Carlson and Randolph Winters, and others.
This report is a summary of the Star Knowledge Conference. As such, it
will necessarily not cover every topic or every speaker. Furthermore,
because Native speakers have not presented their messages publicly
before, while the Euro-American experts have been widely reported, this
report will focus on the Native revelations.
Standing Elk, Lakota Keeper of the Six-Pointed Star Nation Altar, in his
opening remarks noted that Medicine Men have the ability to communicate
with the spiritual entities of Mother Earth, such as the Eagle, the
Deer, the Coyote and the Star Nations.
"The Star Nations were the most crucial of all entities, because the
thought of other races communicating with the grassroots [indigenous]
people would create a major threat to the religious systems, the economy
and educational system of any government. The greatest fear in the
governmental structures was the knowledge that all forms of `Star
Governments' had no monetary systems within their governing structures.
Their system was based on the mental, spiritual and universal laws with
which they were too mentally and spiritually intelligent to break. The
collapse of the monetary system within the United States Government and
the Religious Denominations became a National Security issue, and so it
became an easier task to make the Lakota/Dakota belief system illegal to
participate [in] and practice." Standing Elk added that "The
Lakota/Dakota Medicine Men are now being instructed to share spiritual
knowledge of the Star Nations, because of the contamination of Mother
Earth and the pollution of the air."
He spoke of as a child witnessing UFOs flying down the nearby Missouri
River valley, green balls of light four times larger than a school
auditorium. Through portholes on the sides of these ships he could see
shadows of persons inside. During one encounter he met a seven-foot-tall
man in white clothes who appeared like a middle-aged Caucasian. The
room was filled with light. It contained computer-like machines which
operated on light and "the law of thought".
Standing Elk talked about meeting another Sioux Medicine Man who
confirmed that there are ETs. Some are like ants, with big, black eyes
and long fingers and toes. Some live out in the cosmos and some on the
other side of the Moon. Sioux legends relate that they came from the
Pleiades, with others coming from the Sirius and Orion systems. He
related about having visitations in the sweat lodge from the "Gray" ETs,
who bear messages and provide answers to questions. Standing Elk talked
about being visited by a five-foot-tall, orange-skinned
extraterrestrial with large eyes. He also mentioned blue and green Star
People, and "a hundred other races you don't know about." He asserted
that "the way of the Stars is in every culture."
Moving to a religious theme, he said that Jesus was a Star Man. Standing
Elk noted that the symbols found on the wreckage of the Roswell UFO
crash each had two meanings: a universal law and a spiritual law. During
a subsequent presentation he presented interpretations of these various
ET symbols which he had received from Star People who manifested during
sweat lodge ceremonies.
The next speaker, Oglala spiritual advisor Floyd Hand, continued the
religious theme, speaking about the Avatars (world religious teachers),
such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and White Buffalo Calf Woman, (the Star
Person who gave the Sioux their spiritual history, health practices,
and ceremonies). "The Avatars are Star People". He said that seven
different galaxies are represented on the Earth. "Each Native American
tribe has its ET race [of origination counterpart]". The Star People
will return in the latter part of the 1990s. Changes will happen as
their time draws near. The first sign is floods, fires and earthquakes.
There will be a world Great Drought in 1997-1999. Many will starve.
There will be destruction of electrical and sewer lines, loss of cities
and many lives. In 1998 White Buffalo Calf Woman is coming back to
Turtle Island (the U.S.). There are Four Omens. The First Omen was the
recent birth of a white buffalo calf on a White ranch, whose hide
eventually turned the other colors of the Four Nations (yellow, red and
black). The Second Omen was the birth of another white buffalo calf to a
Sioux rancher, but it died. "We have no right to destroy four-leggeds
and winged creatures for our purposes." The Third Omen was a third white
calf, but no one is listening despite human suffering and death. The
Fourth Omen will be the Star People coming and visiting in Santa Fe, New
Mexico. Floyd Hand urged people to get away from urban hubbub and
sharpen their senses. He added, "Start putting in a garden, put away
food; it's going to be hard. There will be a new government." Hand sees
the end of the current world on January 21, 2021.
Elder Paula Underwood gave an Iroquois perspective on off-planet
lifeforms. She described the many appearance-forms of the
extraterrestrials. In answer to the question of whether we can form
community with them, she replied that "all who walk on two legs are our
brothers and sisters. We come from the unity of the Universe." Underwood
told of an Iroquois oral tradition of an ET telepathic message to the
Iroquois: "We are Coming." The Iroquois Elders thought-responded, "Don't
come; we are not prepared." The ETs replied, "Prepare yourself."
Lakota Elder Harry Charger discussed the oral tradition of the Sioux
peoples. There have been many ET visitations with the Sioux during sweat
lodge ceremonies. Charger said that 50% of what we see of ET
appearances are mental projections from the ETs. He said that the Star
Nations are concerned about our destruction of the planet. He told of,
as a boy, being instructed by his grandmother to make a ball that didn't
bounce. Later the village grandmothers gathered to try out tossing this
gentle-landing ball he made. They smiled with satisfaction as it
soft-landed. Years later he realized the point: that the soft-lander
ball was a ritual reenactment of a space vehicle which had touched down
on the Lakota lands.
The Lakota Elder told the Sioux spiritual origin legend. Two Lakota
scouts were out away from the tribe when a young, beautiful, pale-white
luminous woman appeared to them, White Buffalo Calf Woman. She gave them
important instructions about their origin, and spiritual teachings and
ceremonies to bring back to their people. One scout had lustful thoughts
for the woman and sought to approach her erotically. He perished. The
other scout had paid respectful attention and brought back her teachings
to the people, who have been sustained by them. Charger said that each
of us faces the same choice: how will each of us react to the return of
the Star People's presence?
Finnish physician Rauni-Leena Kilde spoke of the extraterrestrial
experience among the Sammi (Laplander) people she was raised with above
the Arctic Circle and in Scandinavia. Her first remembered contact was
when she was in a severe car crash. As she laid there mortally injured, a
small ET was at her side working on healing her injured liver. Later
the hospital staff could not understand how she survived the crash.
Later she remembered ET contacts as a child living among the Sammi. She
reported that there is a change of attitude in Scandinavia and the
European Union about cosmic contacts. She hears positive reactions to ET
encounters. In Scandinavia the so-called "Grey" aliens are rare. Most
common there are the small, short, wrinkled "Dwarf" ETs. Her country
borders Russia, whose cosmonauts were threatened with death if they
talked openly about UFO encounters.
Steve Red Buffalo (Lakota) gave a talk about the Star People coming down
from the Pleiades. The Sioux trace their origin to that Seven Sisters
constellation. The Pleiades have a connection with the chanupa, the
sacred pipe, which symbolizes the union of the Earth (stone bowl) with
the Sky (hollow stem through which smoke is drawn and sent heavenward.)
Dakota spiritual leader Chanupa Wambdi Wicasa (Deer Man) startled those
listening by stating that the current Pope, John Paul II, is a Pipe
Carrier (a Native-American spirituality tradition-keeper). The Pope
fasted and entered into a sweat lodge ceremony with the Dakota while
visiting in Canada, and congratulated the Dakota for keeping their
traditions and ceremonies.
Deer Man interpreted a recent Crop Circle design as containing a highly
relevant message. This Crop Circle consisted of five concentric circles.
The first four circles are like orbit paths around a central sun, with a
planet-like "bead" imbedded in each orbit circle except the third one.
The outermost ring is a chain of densely-packed "beads" of varying
sizes. The entire Crop Circle is the Circle of Life. The four inner
circles are the traditional Four Nations of humanity: white, yellow, red
and black. The smallest circle near the nucleus is the White Race.
Spirit gave the White Race responsibility for Fire. The White Man forgot
his responsibility, and so created the nuclear bomb. The White Race's
elliptical orbit indicates that it is out of balance. The second orbit
is the Black Race, which has the responsibility for Water. They have
forgotten their responsibility. As a result, the waters are
contaminated, and this causes cancer. The third orbit is the Red Race,
whose "planet-bead" is missing. The Red Race has responsibility for the
Earth. Their "bead" is missing because the Red Nation still walks with
the Tunkashilas (Grandfathers, spiritual guides). The fourth orbit is
the Yellow Race, whose responsibility is the air. But Asian-sponsored
factories pollute the air. Deer Man commented that "we have brought
these imbalances on ourselves. The Red Race has responsibility for the
land, but cannot do so because of herbicides, acid rain and underground
nuclear testing." Spirit told Deer Man that the other races were to
follow the Red Way of Life too, but have lost it.
The outermost circle is the Star Nations. "The Star Nations are here to
help us." The Earth was out of balance, and is rebalancing its tilt. "We
have to help the Earth come back into balance. Time as you know it is
coming to an end, sooner than you think. There will not be cars or TVs."
He said that the Grandfathers taught him that we are coming to the end
of the Fourth World. We are about to enter the Fifth World. [This
concurs with similar Hopi prophecies.] "It will take Nine Worlds before
we get to the Spirit World."
Hopi Grandfather Titus, Keeper of the Prophecy Tablets, adopted Roy
Little Sun. He spoke on behalf of his grandfather. He told of a Solar
System planetary alignment sequence moving into place which is powerful
for the Earth. The outer planets line up with the planets near Earth.
"The power of the heavens steps down to the Earth. The New Moon [June
16-Conference conclusion] is an opening of a gate of Star Knowledge."
Little Sun said that the star Knowledge Conference is like a Medicine
Wheel. Conference participants will radiate out to spread the
information to others: "taking the teachings of the Star People and
applying them to human interactions."
Norbert Running, a Lakota Medicine Man, was one of the first to
participate in the revived Sun Dance of modern times. He chastised
latter-day Native American "neo-traditionalists" as contaminated by
Christian missionaries, believing in devils, and making up bureaucratic
religion rules. Norbert Running said that most Indians on the
reservations believe in the Natural Way of spirituality. He urged
everyone to "cultivate Spirit Guides to help you in the life path." He
learned most of what he knows in the Yuwipi, Spirit Calling-In,
ceremony. He told of legendary Sioux Elder Black Elk having a prophetic
vision of racial unity, a rainbow lodge with the Four Nations together.
He also spoke of the Hopi prophecy of Red and White brothers working
together.
The chief Spiritual Elder of all the Maori people of Aotearoa (New
Zealand), Mac Wire-mu Ruka, accepted Standing Elk's invitation to share
the ancient truths and prophecies of his people. Since age three, Elder
Ruka had been taught the genealogies, secrets and incantations of the
cosmic and Earth realms. A special star alignment in 1988 told the old
Maori Grandmothers that the time had arrived to bring out publicly the
Old Stories which had been kept hidden for centuries, and that Elder
Ruka was the one designated to speak. The Maori Elder related accounts
of the star origin of his people. In a moving candle-lit ritual, he
created a twelve-woman ceremonial circle at the Conference to speak for
Spirit and set the proper vibration for creating such awareness.
Choctaw Medicine Man Panther (Preston Scott) told of how he was
designated to follow the path of the heyoka (sacred trickster). One day
as a boy he was being walked to school by his mother. A dark storming
cloud came up from the west. His mother told him to run to his
grandfather's house. He made it as far as his grandfather's yard when a
lightning bolt struck so close to him that the heat and energy flipped
him over. He landed on his feet still running and went up on his
grandfather's porch. Being struck by lightning is Spirit designation as
heyoka.
As an adult, Panther was climbing a hill one day and received a vision
of three Grandfathers. He was told that he was going to go north to the
Lakota land, where they would give him a foundation of spiritual
knowledge to take back to his people, because the Choctaw had lost their
spiritual ways. Now he is seeing spirituality rising among the Choctaw.
An inipi (sweat lodge) ceremony for a Sun Dancer was led by Panther on
the night of June 15. As we prayed inside the totally-dark lodge, there
appeared two rectangular-shaped lights, about the size of bricks,
dancing near the upper east wall. Panther commented that there were six
spirits inside the lodge. After the lodge, we learned from others
waiting outside that, during the sweat lodge, a high UFO went across the
sky. At first it looked like a satellite, but then it stopped and
gyrated in geometric patterns of flight.
Gary Holy Bull, a Lakota Medicine Man, is a carrier of the Elk medicine
bundle. His spiritual path was deepened when he almost died during brain
surgery, and had an out-of-body- experience where he met an old Indian
medicine man adjusting energy particles coming out of people's bodies.
Holy Bull told of seeing UFOs flying over Bear Butte, a volcanic peak in
the Black Hills and the sacred heart of the Sioux Nation. Then he spoke
about the Star Nation Altars. These are sacred ritual-object altars
kept by certain designated spiritual leaders as shrines where knowledge
of the Star People is gathered, kept and honored. The Lakota Elder said
that Star Nation Altars send a blue light up to the heavens, which the
Star People can see as a beacon.
He told of doing a ceremony for a woman, during which a Star Elder came
in and landed nearby. The ET was tall, gray, and had large eyes. Holy
Bull did the Calling-In Song, and the tunkashilas (Grandfather Spirits)
came in, went over and held the Star Elder. The Star Elder told them
some things: Mother Earth is dying; their (the Star Elder's) planet is
dead, lifeless. He is telling Holy Bull this because the Native
Americans have the Spirit. Mother Earth will clean the ozone.
Gary Holy Bull had an advising Dream one year ago to go to a spiritual
gathering where sacred bundles and pipes were placed together. That
Dream was fulfilled on June 23rd at Greengrass, South Dakota. In an
unprecedented joining, the three sacred bundles of the Sioux (the pipe),
the Cheyenne (arrows) and the Arapaho (sacred hat) were brought
together. This fulfills a prophecy about the beginning of the Thousand
Years of Peace.
Rod Shenandoah, Blackfoot-Oneida medicine man, in a side lecture during
the Sun Dance ceremonies, talked about visitations from the Star People
which he, Wallace Black Elk, and many other medicine persons, chiefs and
other Native Americans have experienced. He pointed out that "Indians
consider themselves privileged" when such Star Nation contacts occur.
They consider such visits to be sacred events. Wallace Black Elk had a
visit by extraterrestrials while he was in isolation on a spiritual
hanblechia (fast and Vision Quest).
In a final teaching round adjacent to the Sun Dance, Standing Elk said
that the Star People are here to teach, to foster spiritual growth, and
to prepare us for dealing with the challenging Earth Changes coming up
in the next several years. The Star People are included as honored
Elders in the Native American key reverential saying, "Mitakuye oyasin!"
(All my relations).
Standing Elk spoke of the extraterrestrials communicating telepathically
with Indians, and that the original Spiritual Language of the Sioux
[different from conversational Lakota] is a language of a few cryptic
key words, designed to stimulate, and be supplemented by, full
additional telepathic communication. The same Star People who visit the
Sioux also visit the Hopi Indians. He said that the Star People and the
Indians have the same DNA. Standing Elk noted that there is Big News
coming, "fast changes, but they are slow in arriving." He also commented
that the Star People are also aware of the Law of Karma. Thus, the
rogue ETs, [the few renegades who have collaborated with the Shadow
Government], "are busy now putting their act together."
Arvol Looking Horse, the 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White
Buffalo Calf Pipe for the Lakota-Dakota-Nakota Nation, had called for a
World Peace and Prayer Day on June 21, Summer Solstice. This was in
response to prophecies shared by spiritual leaders and Elders at the
United Nations, that it is time to begin global healing by working
towards world peace and harmony.
While Looking Horse, the other Sacred Bundle Keepers, and many others
gathered at Grey Horn Butte (Devil's Tower National Monument), Standing
Elk and those participating in the Sun Dance on the Yankton Sioux
Reservation held an observance in support. As representatives of the
Four Nations stood in the Four Directions doorways of the Sun Dance, and
the gathered dancers and participants prayed, high above the central
Sun Dance pole a thin hollow circle of cirrus cloud formed around the
sun, refracting within itself a perfectly circular rainbow. Although the
wind was up from the west, and other scattered clouds blew by, the
circular rainbow remained perfect and immobile for over an hour, as
witnessed by all the participants. In the Bible the rainbow is described
as a sign of peaceful favor from the one the Indians know as the Great
Spirit. Perhaps Tunkashila was indicating that we can approach the end
of the Fourth World and our emergence into the Fifth World with hope.
