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
(extraterrestrials) 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, Obeida,Seneca and Choctaw) and Southwest (Hopi, Yaqui and
Mayan) tribes. In addition, the chief Maori shaman from New Zealand came from
the southen 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 occurring now 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 these
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 patranormal operatives Dea Martin and Darrel 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 NationAltar, in his
opening remarks noted that medicine men have the ability to communicate with
the spiritual entities of Mother Earth, such as Eagle, Deer, 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 Government' had no
monetary systems within their governing structures. Their system was based on
the mental, spritual 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 the
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 othes coming
from the Sirius and Orion systems. He related about having visitations in the
sweat lodge from the "Grey" 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 blacl). 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 Star People replied,
"Prepare yourselves."
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, MD 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, where 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: yellow, red, black and white. 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 alingment sequence moving into place which is powerful for the Earth.
The outer planets line up with the planets near the Earth. "The power of the
heavens steps down to the Earth. The New Moon [June 16-day Conference
concluded] 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 thejm 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 Maori people of Aotearoa (New
Zealand), Mac Wiremu Ruka, accepted Standing Elk's invitation to share the
ancient truths and prophecies of his people. Since age three, Elder Ruka has
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 them.
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 to 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 the grandfather's front yard when a lightning bolt struck so close
to him that the heat and energy fl;ipped 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.
(Please Note: According to the Conference Organizers Gary Holy Bull did not
attend the conference and the information he presented here is suppose to be
attributed to Big Galen ... therefore, not out of respect for Mr. Boylan, we are changing
Holy Bull's name below to Big Galen ... if this mis-representation has caused
any parties any difficulties, V J Enterprises sincerely apologizes and if willing
to share an updated version at any time, to clear the record ... if any parties
involved in this mixup wish to do so ... continuing .....)
Big Galen 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 the 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.
Big Galen had an advising Dream one year ago tio go to a spiritual
gathering where sacred bundles and pipes were placed together. That Dream was
fulfilled on June 23 at Greengrass, South Dakota [near the Brule Sioux
Reservation]. 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 events of the
Thousand Years of Peace.
Rod Shenandoah, a Blackfoot-Oneida medicine man, in a side lecture
during the Sun Dance ceremonies, talked about the 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 to be supplemented by, full additional
_telepathic_ communication. The same Star People who visit the Sioux also visit
the Hopi Indians. He ssaid 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, the 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 together 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 solidarity with the World Peace and Prayer Day. As
representatives of the Four Nations stood in the Four Directions doorways of
the Sun Dance circle, and the gathered dancers and participants prayed, high
above the central Sun Dance pole a thin hollow circle of cirrus cloud formed
around and away from 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 who looked up.
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 ending of the Fourth World and our emergence into the
Fifth World with hope.
