Thank you so much to the elders, the medicine keepers and the story tellers for allowing this sacred journey to be filmed. I had the privilege of traveling through New Mexico and the Grand Canyon recently. My spirit is drawn with respect and admiration to the land, the plants and animals, the art, and symbolism of the indigenous people in the middle place. I hope to return soon. π

This is a Beautiful well kept History on your part. Too many lies, too much lost for profit, money & control. Blessings to you, your people this planet our brothers & sisters of this planet & Humanity. May we all come to terms that we are one race. The Human race on a mission t make this world a better place for it's inhabitants. To connect with with the oneness of all things. To use the part of our brains that we have laid aside for wealth instead of knowledge & wisdom & knowingness. ππ€

I was fortunate enough to meet these guys the day before they went to the place of emergence. We were camped near each other and I invited them to our campsite for some desert (fruit). They were nice enough to tell us all about what they were doing and about the documentary that was being filmed. One of the film crew was actually from our state back east. It was such an honor to be able to meet and hear these elders speak. Me and Rodney the Rain Priest (who was close to my age) both share a love of country music so that was cool too. We had rain showers for the next seven days. The humidity was really welcomed by us New Englanders. It was a very special meeting that I will never forget!
