My Story and Introduction to this Article

I am from Paha Sapa. I am part Lakota, from Rapid City, South Dakota. I am now living in Peru, Latin America. I am a shaman, medicine woman. I am also quite educated and have been researching solutions to the climate change crisis on earth. Life herself is dying. The Amazon Rainforest is now emitting more carbon than oxygen. Cannabis and Hemp are the best solution I have found. Your tribe therefore has a unique opportunity.

From a young age, I had Native American friends growing up. We played basketball and loved the Beetles, made fried bread, and we also danced in powwows. In high school, I served soup to the homeless, mostly Native Americans who were homeless. I also studied the history of genocide of the Native Americans and the aftermath. I started a Native American Heritage Month awareness event while an undergraduate student at The George Washington University. I went on an educational journey to the sacred sites of the Lakota in Paha Sapa and the Reservations with a guide later in life. I volunteered for Rural America Initiatives, which I believe should be expanded as much as possible. I substitute taught in the schools with Lakota youth. I’ve also read the book “We are all related”, Mitakuye Oyasin, by Dr. A.C. Ross, which includes Lakota Spirituality and Quantum Physics and new scientific/spiritual insights. I’ve also read Prayers of Smoke, Renewing Mahaka Tribal Tradition by Barbara M. Adams, which I also found useful. I’m just noting these books in case they are helpful to your youth to remember your culture.

I also am a researcher and have been on the spiritual path my entire life. I have learned from Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, the Tao Te Ching, the I Ching, Catholicism, Protestantism, Lakotaism, and while in Peru, Inkan and South American cultures and spirituality.

I became a Medicine Woman after being awoken by the Spirit World after graduate school at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. I then moved to the Sacred Valley of Peru to be in nature and follow the path of shamanism. I convened with plant and animal medicinas, including ayahausca, huachuma, kambo, bufo, among others. I also connected with the part of me that is also of Lakota origin. I am also of Asian, African, European, and everywhere else origin. However, due to rape during the wars in the land of Dakota, and rape during slavery of African Americans, part of me has Native American and African American blood (and of course we all come from Africa, but there is a difference in Africans; they are very differentiated by tribe and ethnicity). Therefore, I am a shaman, a seer. I have very instinctual, intuitive abilities. I can talk with animals. My Indigenous blood is very prominent in my DNA.

As I said, I am able to communicate with animals, channel with our community above in the spirit world and here on Earth. However, I am also extremely educated and privileged due to having mixed blood and growing up in a family that was middle class. Therefore I was able to be educated and travel the world. I have lived in The Middle East, Africa, and South America. I have traveled to China, India, Thailand, Europe, and other places. However, I have always cared about my Tribe, the Lakota. With the advent of cannabis/hemp, I feel called to speak.

I may be a good person to translate this important opportunity of cannabis/hemp before you, as many of you are very poor and not able to have the same privileged opportunities to understand. I feel called to help, just in case it makes a difference in your/my/our/animal’s/generations to come’s lives here on earth.

The animals need you. The earth needs you. You play more of an important role in this Cosmic-Earth Life than you know. Your power is more than you may understand. Your Lakotaism can be understood by animals around the world. I know, because as I channel Lakotaism, it calms the animals down. It is a very sacred language. Please preserve it as best you can! Please pray your songs as much as you can for this precious Earth and the animals. It really helps with the energy of peace on earth. And as climate change is unpredictable, it is healing to calm down the energy for the animals, and the humans. The animals know pollution is not normal or right. Your shamanism can be helpful.

I recently have been writing about the earth dying due to patriarchy, egotism, greed, and consumerism. You can read my Medium articles here, or on my website https://www.awakeningconsciousness.community/ or this booklet.

One article you may want to read is Life Herself is Dying (The Amazon Rainforest). We are literally committing suicide on earth because people are so dumb and do not understand The Circle of Life.

“The Amazon rainforest is now emitting more carbon dioxide than it is able to absorb, scientists have confirmed for the first time. The emissions amount to a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, according to a study. The giant forest had previously been a carbon sink, absorbing the emissions driving the climate crisis, but is now causing its acceleration, researchers said. Most of the emissions are caused by fires, many deliberately set to clear land for beef and soy production. But even without fires, hotter temperatures and droughts mean the south-eastern Amazon has become a source of CO2, rather than a sink. Growing trees and plants have taken up about a quarter of all fossil fuel emissions since 1960, with the Amazon playing a major role as the largest tropical forest. Losing the Amazon’s power to capture CO2 is a stark warning that slashing emissions from fossil fuels is more urgent than ever, scientists said.” — The Guardian

I have been channelling (Channeling is the practice of allowing non-physical entities (like spirit guides, angels, God, The Great Spirit, ancestors, animals, extraterrestrials, etc.) to communicate through a person, often by entering a trance or meditative state to convey messages, wisdom, or energy, acting as a bridge between the seen and unseen realms for guidance or healing.)

I have been trying to explain to different people from different parts of the world with different languages:

Plantas = Oxygen, O2 = Respiration, Breathing = Survival

and

Plantas = Comida / Food = Survival

to all of the people of the world to help them understand these fundamental concepts.

They may seem basic to somebody who understands science, but they may not be to others. There has been a massive manipulation campaign by the Cabal, RepublicaNOknows, who are prostitutes of the Petroleum Industry, who are bent on putting people against the environment, this Sacred Earth. They get money from lobbying. However, they are responsible and sinful for pointing people towards destruction of the earth; basically suicide. It’s awful, disgusting, egregious.

You all could help as well if you would like. My book can help educate you. You can shaman, be a curanderoaz (i.e., healers; I live in Peru, so sometimes I speak a version of Spanish); for people from around the world or cosmos, or for the animals. Whatever you feel called to in your heart (corazon en Español). It’s a higher frequency here than in American Satanism. Therefore, I prefer living here. There’s also the ancestors of Wisdom, the plant medicines, and a simpler life in nature.

***As somebody who is concerned about the karma of the Lakota people, and aware of the genocide and aftermath of alcoholism of the Lakota people, and also is knowledgable about how this culture was then corrupted by a devil-oriented industry of Casino-ism, I would like to write about an exciting new opportunity for our people.

Since we are a sovereign entity as a Tribe, we are able to grow cannabis/hemp without repercussions. Since South Dakota again did not vote for the approval of this sacred medicine (cannabis), we as a Tribe have an opportunity before us. Not only can we sell it as a sacred medicine, which I will talk more about below, but we also can grow hemp and create biodegradable non-plastics that are much more healthy for the environment, especially if you are able to use 3-D printer technology or something similar.

We can then sell these products. Instead of relying upon karmic-negative casino money, you can then produce karmic-positive cannabis products that are good for planet and people. This may then make more sense to you, your spirit, and your connection with Wakan Tanka. While our Tribe went through much suffering, this may be a new opportunity for creating a life of prosperity for our people.

You can also get rid of alcohol, have more money, and smoke cannabis and connect with your ancestors and animal Tribe. This will help heal the rape problem.

You can also start a Buffalo farm that is sacred. I have channeled that they are okay with it. Check with your own guides. Eat healthy food. This will heal your diabetes problem. The products in the store are lacking in nutrition and Satanic. To keep your masculinity and power, you must eat a proper nutritious diet.

Before reading this article/pamphlet, perhaps meditate on Your Lakota Values and Center yourself, or whatever spiritual practice you feel comfortable with. Read this with your Heart, not your ego.

You may have been manipulated by capitalistic interests, which is against the Laws of the Universe, and could be destructive to your Tribe. Be gentle with yourselves. These energies are very sensitive. Connect with your ancestors to heal yourself of sin. Judgment Day is real. You have a handicap since you were genocided. However, you also have Free Will. Choose the Right Road, Chanku Luta.

Lakota Values:

Respect (Wauonihan)
Generosity (Wacante Ognake)
Wisdom (Woksape)
Humility (Wahwala)
Compassion (Waunshila)
Service (Wawoihakikte)
Honesty (Wowicake)

So read with your Heart, Center your Vision on the Earth, on Your People, on helping your community and the Earth, and on Future Generations to Come.

You may not want to read some sections of this book pamphlet. You may not want to read the history. You may want to first read about Chanku Luta to ground you. I’m not sure. Feel into your heart.

Know that your intentionality matters.

Is your intentionality about making money? Eww. Is your intentionality about creating a prosperous, beautiful community? Great!

Perhaps draw your vision with color on paper. God, the Universe, responds to visions and intentionality. That’s where quantum physics comes into play. Every intentionality is a possibility of a particle, a wave of energy that then manifests into physical form.

Is your intentionality about the sacredness of this herb, cannabis/hemp? I have included a chapter to help you understand that this herb comes from China, where you all come from. You crossed the Bering Strait into the “Americas”. Therefore, this herb is actually from your ancestry! Wow! Connect with them. They can help you understand its sacred properties.

Please spread this article to the leaders of the reservations in South Dakota, to the people planting these sacred plants, to the people doing commerce with them, and to the elders, and anybody else you think should know about this exciting opportunity for rejuvenation of the Lakota People in Paha Sapa.

It is also a warning signal. With climate change being real, anything is possible. Your tribes need to prepare to be sustainable. I include notes about this in the article. The solutions include greenhouses with oxygen. It could be in a year, in 10 years, or who knows. It’s all a quantum possibility.

I am shamaning and trying to help spread the word about cannabis and hemp.

“Historical Chinese perspectives often characterized early European visitors as “barbarians” or uncivilized due to cultural differences, a sense of Chinese superiority, and European behaviors considered disrespectful by Chinese norms.”

Know that you come from China 30,000 years ago when you crossed the Bering Strait.

Know that cannabis/hemp is from China.

It is a sacred herb for Our Tribe. Americans are stupid and do not understand. They are infiltrated by corruption, lobbying by the oil industry, and basically manipulating people to commit suicide to the earth. The Cotton Wood Industry manipulated the public against hemp and cannabis. You can read about it in my article. They chose money over saving the earth. Ugly. Eww. Disgusting. Democracy = Corruption. My solution you can find in my articles online are about 50/50 men and women to keep these fraternities of ugly men in check, and transparency in where all the money is going.

Listen to the logic of this song by Pocahontas to help deprogram you (you can learn about neurolinguistic programming (NLP = manipulation of your brain) on Google Search. You were not savages or barbarians; the Europeans were. Guns are not masculine. A 4-year old can pull a trigger. Bows and arrows are masculine, like a spear is in Africa. That takes masculine ability. In the article I try to include as much de-programming as possible for you.

You can use The Bible against the colonizers. Love your Neighbor? Hello? Funny. The colonizers were not Christians, they were barbarians, egomaniacs, along with many manipulated and subjugated little boys to fire their little rifles, which go against the laws of the universe. Diplomacy is what is needed, that takes higher intelligence, heart-able to’s, and wisdom. As Our Tribe Knows.

I have created a Library in Consciousness with all of my findings. Guns are against the Laws of the Universe. “Hello, how are you? Are you ok? What’s going on? Can we solutionize together?” You can increase your intelligence massively if you can understand The Library I created in our Universe in Consciousness. Again, I am an extremely advanced Shaman. It is in the The Library that I am of the Lineage of White Buffalo Calf Woman. I am talking to many of you already through channeling, so some of this might feel familiar. If you access The Library, even more will come through for you. Cannabis can help. Vision questing can help. Feel into your hearts. This is an important time in history, as all the prophecies show, including the Mayan Calendar, probably the most advanced calendar on this Earth or Universe.

I write about circumcision on my websites as well. Christ said you do not need to. I hope and pray none of you have (yikes!!!). Cutting off your genitals leads to de-masculination and de-evolution of your species. Read Galatians in the New Testament. I have a 5-Part Series on it on Medium. https://medium.com/@ashleyheacock

Galatians on Circumcision

“In the Book of Galatians, Paul strongly argues against requiring circumcision for Gentile (non-Jewish) Christians, stating that if they accept it for justification, Christ becomes useless to them, and they are bound to the entire Mosaic Law. He emphasizes that true Christianity is about faith working through love, not external rituals like circumcision, which, under the New Covenant in Christ, holds no saving value. Paul contrasts this with the “works of the flesh” and promotes living by the Spirit, viewing the insistence on circumcision as a false teaching that leads people away from grace.”

Key Points from Galatians:

Circumcision Nullifies Christ: Paul warns that accepting circumcision for justification makes Christ of no advantage and severs believers from grace, obligating them to keep the whole Law (Galatians 5:2–4).
Faith Over Law: The core message is that salvation and justification come through faith, not by works of the Law, including circumcision (Galatians 2:16, 3:2–3).
“Neither Circumcision Nor Uncircumcision”: In Christ, neither physical state matters; what counts is “faith expressing itself through love” (Galatians 5:6).
Freedom in the Spirit: Paul encourages believers to stand in their freedom in Christ and live by the Spirit, not submit to the bondage of legalistic demands (Galatians 5:1, 5:13).
Attack on Opponents: He condemns the “agitators” who preach circumcision, even wishing they would go further (emasculate themselves), highlighting their divisive and misleading motives (Galatians 5:10–12).

Why it Matters:

“Paul addresses a conflict where some Jewish Christians insisted that Gentile converts must be circumcised (following Jewish law) to be truly saved. Paul fiercely rejects this, asserting it undermines the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice and grace, shifting focus from internal transformation (faith and love) to external rituals.”

(*My Note: I separate Jewish people from Pharisees. Read The New Testament; Mathew, Mark, Luke, or John. This will show you who they are. You can also channel their sinfulness. It’s quite disturbing. I feel they are like a Trojan Horse that entered America after the Genocide in Germany. Why did the Germans commit Genocide against Jews? They were not sharing. The Germans were hungry.

The entry of these Pharisees may have led to America’s corruption and the eventual collapse. Many people do not really read The Bible and still say they are Christians. If you read The New Testament it is clear that Pharisees were evil. Then people call them Jewish, and feel sorry for them. It’s confusing for sure. You may have heard rumors that the Jewish Lobby basically took over America, the cabal, the illuminati. Perhaps it was because the American Army wanted a naval base there due to petroleum interests.

Then the “Republica-no-knows” as I call them, turned many people against The Environment, The Earth, because they were getting paid by the “Petroleoleos” as I call them. Then America was not a leader in green technology to save the Earth, so we’re dying. Literally.

Basically the Republicans are prostitutes for the Jewish Lobby and the Petroleum Industries. The Democrats are sensitive to Genocide so are kind of like, wow, what to do? However, now the Israelis, who are actually European due to migration, are committing Genocide against the Indigenous Christians and Muslims of Gaza and the West Bank. There is so much going on. I studied the Middle East at University. There are many conflicting interests.)

Also, circumcision, which is just an awful practice. Why would you ever cut off your dick? Leads to insecurity, subjugation, and heartlessness. Hence, colonialism made possible.

Rates of circumcision in America are extremely high. Circumcision was used in Africa to subjugate boys. They may have become disenfranchised and ended up in Europe, and then came to America. They may be a different type of human being without hearts and dying souls. They enslaved Black Africans who were from extremely wise traditions of antiquity just because they had these guns that 4-year-olds can use. They also killed indigenous peoples in the Americas without even caring about these sacred people filled with wisdom.

Are these Europeans a different breed? For sure. I would not mate with Caucasians if I was Lakota. You have a special racial profile. Separate yourselves. You are here for the Earth and the Animals. You are their Protectors. Animals across the World can understand Lakota. I know this, because I have a Lakota soul in me, and when our Tribe or I speak Lakota they can feel the blessings and it calms them.

Feel into your intuition about your role on this Earth, given this extremely unique capability you have.

Do not ruin your tribe’s genetics and evolution!

Guns are an imbalance in the masculinity-femininity, wisdom, responsibility, Equation of the Universe. I have many Equations out there in Consciousness, in my Library about this. It’s all about Love. It’s all about What’s Real.

Take a gun off of a European in consciousness and their pants fall down. They have no dick anymore.

Versus, the indigenous masculine men who created spears and running and strength abilities. Versus the indigenous masculine men who can swim underwater for over 10 minutes to get fish for their tribe. Versus the indigenous masculine men of our Tribe, the Lakota, who used bows and arrows for food. Versus the jungle men who can climb massively tall trees and find honey for their tribe. This is OK. It is masculine.

Guns were created in China. They go against the Laws of the Universe. They are too quick. It’s not masculine. A 2 or 4 year old can pull a trigger. An angry man can kill his wife or children. High schoolers are killing teenagers. It’s an extremely dangerous weapon. Diplomacy is necessary.

With guns, you don’t have to try to understand the other person. You can just get drunk or manipulated and pull a trigger. Circumcision would also be a cause of this brutality because you’re cut off from your heart. The heart is our decision maker. There are people on Earth who are soulless.

Diplomacy is the answer.

“Recent scientific research in neurocardiology supports the idea that the heart acts as an intelligent organ, influencing decision-making, intuition, and emotions, rather than merely acting as a pump.

Here is the scientific evidence regarding the heart’s role in decision-making:

The “Heart Brain” (Intrinsic Cardiac Nervous System): The heart contains a sophisticated network of over 40,000 neurons — known as the intrinsic cardiac nervous system — which allows it to process information, learn, remember, and make functional decisions independently of the cranial brain.
Heart-Brain Communication: The heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. Approximately 80% of the fibers in the vagus nerve are afferent (carrying signals from the heart to the brain), meaning the heart heavily influences emotional regulation, cognition, and perception.
Intuition and “Gut Feelings”: The heart’s neural network reacts to, and interprets, the world in real-time, often before the conscious mind processes information. This activity is believed to drive “gut feelings” or intuitive decisions.
Electromagnetic Field: The heart generates an electromagnetic field 60 times stronger than the brain’s, which is capable of influencing emotional states and interpersonal communication.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV): High HRV is associated with better decision-making, particularly in situations of uncertainty and risk.

Key Findings on Decision Making:

Somatic Marker Hypothesis: Research shows that physiological signals from the heart (vagal reactivity) are crucial for making advantageous decisions.
Emotional Regulation: The heart helps generate, not just feel, emotions, which play a critical role in guiding decisions.
Three-Brain Approach: Some research suggests a model of “three brains” — the head, heart, and gut — working together to influence behavior.

While the brain remains the central processing unit, these findings demonstrate that the heart plays a significant, independent, and influential role in cognitive and emotional decision-making.”

Guns are not masculinity, that’s not the Universe, which is Love. Again, I have these equations in the Library of God in the Universe. Know that the Latin Translation in the Bible of God, YHVH, in Hebrew is plural, and includes a feminine God. Please access this library if you can. It will help you and Our Tribe and The Earth.

Also, know that colonizers are not the best teachers of Christianity (obviously, haha). I have been doing tons of work in the Universe to help colonized people understand the Truth about Christianity. The Heart of God.

I have also been helping animals and human souls exit human beings who are bi-racial and may have been raped by colonizers.

The animals feel much calmer and more free. The indigenous souls do too. If you are a shaman, please consider this. It may be a mission of yours.

These interbreedings of European colonizers and Indigenous-Native American-Chinese will exist throughout the Americas, unfortunately, and might also be African American rape victims too. It is about intentionality. Does the animal, or one of your ancestors, have the intentionality to exit this European colonizer? It is also about frequency. Do their frequencies align? Are the colonizers taking over the body and therefore very low frequency, filled with sin? Then release the indigenous soul back to their family in the Cosmos/Consciousness, and they will be free, heal, and return to normalcy with the help of their community. Once you get permission, you can use your shamanic ways to release animals or “homo-sapien”s back to their families, tribes, ancestors in the spirit world. The mothers are wonderful healers and the fathers incredible protectors. The community can de-program them to what is normalcy. This is what I have found. Make sure they feel safe and calm when you close the ceremony.

To conclude, have you ever listened to these lyrics from Pocohantas? They may be useful in this age of climate change and nobody really taking action and being responsible. They may help you Remember.

Pocahontas Song Lyrics:

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still, I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn Moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn Moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

History of The Native Americans, Colonialism by Europeans, and Our Sovereignty

Founding of The US Constitution, 1789
Indian Removal Act, 1830
The Trail of Tears, 1838–1839
Dawes Act, 1887
Indian Reorganization Act, 1934
Tribal Sovereignty
Cannabis Legalized by the Oglala Sioux Tribe in 2020

Founding of the US Constitution

“Yes, Native Americans influenced the drafting of the U.S. Constitution:

Iroquois Confederacy

The Iroquois Confederacy’s Great Law of Peace, an unwritten constitution, influenced the democratic principles of the U.S. Constitution. The confederation of the original 13 colonies into a republic was also modeled after the Iroquois Confederacy. Some historians credit Iroquois chief Canasatego with influencing Benjamin Franklin’s thinking about government.

Other Native American governments

The Cherokee and Haudenosaunee also practiced democratic forms of government that influenced the Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson studied Native systems of government and expressed admiration for them.

Formal recognition

In 1988, Congress passed a resolution formally acknowledging the influence of the Iroquois Confederacy on the U.S. Constitution. In 1987, the U.S. Senate also formally recognized this influence.” — Google AI

Indian Removal Act

“The negative treatment toward Natives grew more serious in 1830 with the institution of the Indian Removal Act: a law put into place allowing the federal government to displace Native Americans from their traditional tribal lands in order to sell the land off to white Americans. While there was a caveat that the Natives had to be provided new land to relocate to, this land was often hundreds of miles away from sacred grounds and were hundreds of times smaller than the open areas they used to roam as nomadic peoples. To make things worse, this new land provided as compensation was also the land the US government wanted the least because it was ill-equipped for farming or traditional Western settlements.” — Sarah Boomgarden, Lake Forest College

(My Note: This is why you may want to read on, because we were given awful land, but there is an opportunity for greenhouses, plus, hemp/cannabis does not require a lot of water, and probably could be grown on the land we own as a Sovereign Tribe.)

The Trail of Tears

“In 1838 and 1839, the US government forcibly removed the Cherokee people on a march that resulted in the deaths of approximately 4,000 Cherokees.” — Google AI

Dawes Act

“The Dawes Act, also known as the General Allotment Act or Dawes Severalty Act, was a law passed in 1887 that divided Native American tribal lands into individual plots:

Purpose

The Dawes Act was intended to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream US society by breaking up tribal lands and encouraging Native Americans to farm and ranch.

Results

The Dawes Act had many negative consequences, including:

Loss of land: Between 1887 and 1934, over 86 million acres of Native American land were sold to non-Natives.
Loss of access to resources: Native Americans lost access to traditional hunting, fishing, and gathering sites.
Loss of cultural traditions: The Dawes Act aimed to destroy Native American cultural and social traditions.
Poor land quality: The land allotted to individuals was often unsuitable for farming, such as desert or near-desert land.
Inheritance issues: Young children often inherited allotments that they could not farm, and multiple heirs could make allotments too small to farm effectively.” — Google AI

Indian Reorganization Act

“The Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) of 1934, also known as the Wheeler-Howard Act or the Indian New Deal, was a landmark piece of legislation that aimed to improve the lives of Native Americans:

Tribal land: The IRA ended the allotment of tribal lands, which had led to economic and cultural harm to tribal communities. It also established a process to restore lands to tribal ownership.

Tribal governance: The IRA recognized tribal governments and encouraged tribes to adopt constitutions and governing councils similar to those of the U.S. government.

Economic development: The IRA allowed tribes to incorporate businesses and established credit for Native farmers.

Education: The IRA set aside funds for Native American education.

Employment: The IRA established a preference for Native Americans in hiring for jobs in the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Other rights: The IRA extended the trust period for existing allotments and prohibited the government from taking land away from tribes without their consent.

Signed into law: President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the IRA on June 18, 1934.

The IRA was a centerpiece of the “Indian New Deal” era, which lasted from 1928 to 1945. The IRA was driven by John Collier, Roosevelt’s commissioner of Indian Affairs, who believed that Native American cultures were superior to American culture.” — Google AI

Tribal Sovereignty

“Native Americans are not subject to the same laws of South Dakota because tribes are quasi-sovereign nations with their own judicial systems and laws:

Tribal sovereignty

Tribes are distinct from the United States and have the authority to make their own laws.

Tribal justice systems

Tribes have the authority to operate their own justice systems that enforce tribal law. Tribal law includes tribal constitutions, code, case law, and custom and tradition.” — Google AI

Cannabis Legalized by the Oglala Sioux Tribe in 2020

With this understanding of our past history, we have the opportunity to be a sovereign entity. This means empowering our people towards the future.

Most colonialists/Republicans are pretty dumb. They don’t understand the Earth is dying. They don’t understand karma. Even if they gave you a Bible, that doesn’t mean they understand anything about God or the Laws of Nature.

With chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, and the like, pollution is at an all-time high. America is a country of stupidity (I may be trying to decondition you from believing in the hypocrisy that greed and Satanism are ok, when, the Bible clearly is speaking of Babylon in the book of Revelations dying if they do not change their ways and follow the Earth, Christ, Truth, Love, Life, and Light).

“The Amazon rainforest is now emitting more carbon dioxide than it is able to absorb, scientists have confirmed for the first time. The emissions amount to a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, according to a study. The giant forest had previously been a carbon sink, absorbing the emissions driving the climate crisis, but is now causing its acceleration, researchers said. Most of the emissions are caused by fires, many deliberately set to clear land for beef and soy production. But even without fires, hotter temperatures and droughts mean the south-eastern Amazon has become a source of CO2, rather than a sink. Growing trees and plants have taken up about a quarter of all fossil fuel emissions since 1960, with the Amazon playing a major role as the largest tropical forest. Losing the Amazon’s power to capture CO2 is a stark warning that slashing emissions from fossil fuels is more urgent than ever, scientists said.” — The Guardian

We were given awful land. The colonialists wanted the good land for themselves.

“While the Pine Ridge Reservation does have some arable land, it is considered very limited, with only around 84,000 acres out of its 2.1 million acres being suitable for agriculture, making the majority of the land unsuitable for farming due to its harsh climate and terrain.”–Google AI

Key points about Pine Ridge Reservation and arable land:

Small percentage arable:
Only about 4% of the Pine Ridge Reservation land is considered suitable for agriculture.
Challenges to farming: Factors like overgrazing, poor soil quality, and extreme weather conditions contribute to the limited arable land.
Focus on alternative methods: Due to limited arable land, communities on the reservation are increasingly focusing on initiatives like community gardens and greenhouses to improve food security. — Google AI

However, do not get discouraged, read the next chapter(s) about turning this ugly past into a bright future.

Cannabis/Hemp can make the soil arable. You can live healthily and sustainably and not have to rely on the outside world as much, especially during these turbulent times of politics and climate change.

You can make many different products, even homes, out of hemp to sell. Hemp is extremely good for the environment and can make your community prosperous.

Cannabis is a very sacred herb from China, where you ancestrally come from, so you may want to connect with them. It is a very peaceful herb (indica) and creative herb (sativa). Treat it with respect. I give many different examples of its spiritual usage in Asia that you may find interesting.

You will then be in line with Chanku Luta. No alcohol. No gambling. That is the devil and Satan.

This is a chance for a New Beginning in a New World. Time moves forward. Be optimistic. Be in your Heart. Be in integrity. Be at peace.

Cannabis as a Major Opportunity for Our Tribe

With the advent of cannabis being legal in Our Sovereign Territory, there is a brand new opportunity before us: cannabis. As I am a spiritualist, I sometimes turn things around which way and that in my mind, and then sometimes things make more sense in the Laws of God and Karma. While we were given awful land, due to the wisdom of the Tribe to legalize cannabis, there is an opportunity to turn this land into a massive opportunity not only for the Tribe, but also Mother Earth.

There is a Chinese Parable that I would like to share with you. Did you know that all Indigenous Native Americans in North and South America are from China? You crossed the Bering Strait 30,000 years ago. Before what is now called “America” you were living in “Asiatica”. Therefore, the Asian people and indigenous people surrounding Asiatica (that’s the term I use) are your ancestors, and cannabis/hemp is from Asiatica from around 12,000 BC years ago. Wow! What a beautiful connectionality. Here is the Chinese Parable:

“A farmer has many horses that give him status and wealth. When other villagers go on about how good it is to have these horses, his answer is: “Good or bad, who’s to say?”

One day the horses breach his fence, break free and run away. The villagers are quick to point out how terrible and awful that is. What a bad predicament! The man again answers: “Good or bad, who’s to say?”

The man’s son goes out and starts looking for the horses that have escaped. A few weeks later he returns with the horses along with a few wild horses who had joined the herd. The villagers tell the man how wonderful it is that he now has his horses back along with a few more! Again, he replies: “Good or bad, who’s to say?”

A few days later, in an attempt to tame and train the wild horses, the man’s son is thrown off, and breaks his leg. When the villagers hear about the injury they feel so sorry for the man and his son. How terrible! Once again, the man replies: “Good or bad, who’s to say?”

The son must rest and recover and let his leg heal. During his recovery the army marches into town looking to recruit all able-bodied young men to fight in the war. Because of his injury, the son is unable to join the fight. That is very good luck, the villagers say. And again, the man replies: “Good or bad, who’s to say?”

By not labeling the situation as good or bad the man in the story is able to find peace, and to keep moving through life without going down deep rabbit holes of doom/gloom or attachment to the things going his way.” –Anna Lavesque

12 Reasons Why Hemp Is Good For The Planet By Onda Wellness:

1. Hemp Is Environmentally Beneficial (For The Soil, Air, And Water)

Hemp can regenerate and replenish the environment it grows in, making for an excellent addition for gardeners and as a rotational crop for farmers. Hemp is incredibly resilient and can flourish no matter the soil or air quality, or with limited rainfall.

In fact, it takes less water to grow compared to cotton and trees, even though hemp has a large amount of cellulose. The plants themselves are known to clean the air, as they produce oxygen during their growth cycle. Growing hemp also reduces soil toxins and improves soil quality by removing nitrogen from the atmosphere and absorbing toxins from the ground. — Rêve En Vert

2. Hemp Grow Easily And Without The Need For Toxic Chemicals

Hemp is called weed for a reason. It grows in just about any condition and without many resources as mentioned above. Hemp is also better for the environment in terms of pesticide use. Aside from being completely organic and resistant to disease and pests, hemp requires little fertilizers or pesticides. This means that there are fewer harmful chemicals entering our water systems.

Any pesticides sprayed on hemp soil will be absorbed by the roots of the plant itself and used as a natural defense mechanism against insects and pests. Hemp’s resin can also replace any need for excessive fertilizers in farms that grow it. — Rêve En Vert

3. Hemp Is Bee-Friendly

As a result of hemp’s low-impact, no-till practices and its high number of nectar-producing flowers, the hemp industry is considered to be one of the most beneficial for bees. According to many beekeepers, hemp plants are used as an alternative when other flower sources aren’t as abundant.

Fields of hemp plants are even known to produce a large number of queen bees, which improve hive health and fertility rates. A healthy swarm of bees is the cornerstone of any successful and sustainable farm and garden ecosystem. — Rêve En Vert

4. Hemp Eradicates Deforestation And Reduces Carbon Emissions

Deforestation contributes to about 25% of all global carbon emissions. Growing hemp could not only halt this process but reverse it entirely. This is because hemp plants have the ability to absorb CO2 from the air. According to studies, a single acre of hemp cultivation can absorb as much as 4.1 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year!

This is great news for our planet. Deforestation may be one of the most pressing issues at hand and hemp could help save it! Hemp is also renewable and a viable option for the lumber industry. — Rêve En Vert

5. Hemp Improves Soil Quality And Purifies Water

Hemp can soak up to 3 times its own weight in water, thereby improving dry climates and farms with moderate or low rainfall. In terms of water consumption, hemp only uses about 37% of the amount that cotton does per acre cultivated. This means increased profit margins for farmers who grow hemp as an alternative crop in addition to their usual farming repertoire.

Hemp actually cleanses the soil it’s growing in, preventing erosion and acidity issues, and leaves the soil rich with nitrogen. Hemp also removes CO2 from the air and stores it in the roots during photosynthesis (making hemp a renewable resource).

Decreased soil erosion means more fertile land for hemp cultivation and a healthier ecosystem overall. — Rêve En Vert

(My Note: This is a major opportunity. We were given non-arable land by the evil colonialists. However, hemp can make it arable! Wow! Major shift. This means you can use hemp to create arable land on the reservation and grow your own food and be self-sustaining, and eat healthy food and not have diabetes from Satanic US products that are not nutritious. Incredible!)

6. Hemp Production Preserves Wild Animal Habitats

There are numerous ways hemp can benefit wildlife. For example, shade-grown industrial hemp crops provide food and refuge for birds, deer, beaver… the list goes on!

In a study conducted by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in 1994, it was found that over 40 species of animals live among and depend on outdoor hemp fields. This includes:

– White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

– Eastern cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus)

– Ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)

Additionally, hemp harvests also offer a great source of food for animals in the fall. — Rêve En Vert

7. Hemp Is A Great Rotation Crop For Farmers

Farmers who grow hemp are more likely to make higher profits than those growing other crops. In fact, they can even grow it without sacrificing any of their usual farming practices. This means that hemp can be profitable without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. — Rêve En Vert

8. Hemp Is Stronger Than Cotton

Hemp is very strong compared to other natural fibers; it’s literally stronger than steel! Since hemp fiber is stronger than cotton and naturally UV resistant, it makes the ideal material to manufacture durable fabrics for clothing, shoes, and backpacks.

Unlike other plants that are turned into fibers (cotton), hemp grows vigorously and does not require pesticides during cultivation or processing. The hemp plant produces strong fibers with a low-lignin content (the part of the plant that binds fibers into a yarn). This is exactly why hemp yokes can be easily manufactured.

In fact, the United States could save up to $100 billion per year if we replace cotton with hemp for our clothes and other textiles. — Rêve En Vert

9. Hemp Is Stronger Than Wood Fiber

Hemp fibers are one of a kind. They can be used to create almost anything — from clothes, shoes, rugs, furniture, construction materials (such as cement), biofuel… you name it! The hemp plant is also one of the strongest natural fibers. It has been known to produce stronger commercial and industrial products, including rope and canvas.

Hemp’s inherent strength and durability are due to its cellular structure, which is similar to bamboo and oak trees, allowing hemp fabrics to resist breaking from flexing or hardening. It is truly a superior natural resource that can be used as a building block of materials for literally anything. — Rêve En Vert

(My Note: did you know that the illegalization of hemp was part of the Militarized Industrial Egoic Complex of the United States? Hemp was banned by the powers that were, when it could have saved the Earth. Do your research online. I discovered that there were lobbyists against hemp including the cotton industry, the plastic industry, the drug companies, and those who just wanted to use it as a fear propagation tool to gain votes.)

My favorite summation about hemp from Akshansh Seth on Quora:

Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug.

There are like a thousand different disorders that marijuana can fix for which pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed. And if its made legal, it is going to cost these drug companies billions of dollars.

We had realised that hemp has so many uses which are not only medicinal but in other industries too, like the parachute in which George Bush senior jumped at the time of world war 2 was made from hemp, textile industry started using hemp,

Henry Ford even used hemp fibres to make the body of his car, which in fact was 10 times stronger than steel.

Rudolph diesel before using diesel used hemp oil as fuel for the auto mobile.

I think you have enough examples to state that Cannabis could have been a trillion dollar industry if it had been allowed to bloom.

but the point is that, it posed a big threat for existing industries.

This guy, William Randolph Hearst he owned all the newspapers back then, he started publishing various false articles stating that after smoking pot, Mexicans and black started raping white woman. So it was natural that people developed a certain aversion from marijuana. And there were TV commercials and movies which depicted marijuana as psychotic and linked them with murderers and suicides.

FACT: there has not been even a single death in history due to marijuana overdose, it’s practically impossible to OD on cannabis.

The authorities say its illegal because you can abuse marijuana, well you can abuse cheese burgers, so you don’t run around closing all the burger king outlets. its funny, i can poke myself in the eye with a fork. so you don’t ban the use of forks. — Akshansh Seth

(My Note: It is actually alcohol that is the problem, and poverty, obviously. Yet, politicians will use bizarre, Satanic, egoic, fear-based statements to gain votes. Cannabis is a beautiful herb that is calming. Alcohol is called a spirit for a reason. It can make you go unconscious. Demons can enter. It can make you extremely sexual. It can make you angry. It is a depressant. So, The Tribe banning alcohol at a similar time that it legalized cannabis may be a really smart move, FYI. Also, get rid of the gambling industry as soon as possible, it’s Satanic, from the devil, evil. Bad karma. Focus on Cannabis, Hemp Products, Sacred Plants that can heal the earth. Then you will have positive karma.)

10. Hemp Can Be Made Into Plastic Materials That Are Biodegradable

Products made with hemp fibers or seeds will break down in landfills over time. It is known for hemp to produce plastics that are 100% biodegradable and recyclable, yet they have many of the same uses as petroleum-based plastics. The good news is that this technology is already being used today! Industrial hemp has been used to produce a strong plastic called Bionect, which is more environmentally friendly than some petroleum-based plastics. — Rêve En Vert

(My Note: This perhaps could be one of the most exciting opportunities for Our Tribe. Yes, of course, it is medicinal. However, you can also construct a factory on the land, increase your revenues even more, and and save Mother Earth. Read the chapter: Solution: Hemp and 3D Printing Can Save the Earth from Climate Change and be Profitable because it can make basically any Product! A really unique, simple, quick solution to help the environment; Hemp.)

(My Note: This perhaps could be an exciting opportunities for Our Tribe. You can construct a factory on the land, perhaps a 3-D printing factory, get creative, increase your revenues, and save Mother Earth.)

11. Hemp Can Be Used In The Production Of Biofuels

Industrial hemp is a natural resource that could help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. It has been estimated that if hemp were legalized, it would produce more oil than what we currently get from fossil fuels.

Hemp can help the environment… and our health!

For decades, hemp was banned for being a “drug”, when it couldn’t be farther from the truth! Marijuana has psychoactive effects that get people high while hemp has none of that at all. In fact, hemp is not a drug… it’s an amazing resource! — Rêve En Vert

(My Note: Wow. Even I didn’t know that yet. So, I would do major research into this opportunity!)

12. Hemp Paper Is Eco-Friendly

Hemp can make paper products that are much more eco-friendly than wood-based papers and can even be recycled more than once. Hemp is used to making some of the most sustainable packaging materials in the market today. Hemp packaging uses less energy and fewer natural resources, as hemp fibers are stronger and thinner than paper. If you think about it, we use paper every day and hemp could easily be used to make our paper products instead of cutting down more trees. — Rêve En Vert

(My Note: Again, read my chapter, Solution: Hemp and 3D Printing Can Save the Earth from Climate Change and be Profitable because it can make basically any Product! A really unique, simple, quick solution to help the environment and help your community prosper; Hemp.)

Hemp is the most environmentally friendly crop in the world. And as you can see, hemp is not only great for fashion, food supply, medicine, and more — but for our planet as well.

Many of hemp’s other uses are endless and incredibly useful to our society, as we will see over time that hemp can benefit us all; from farmers to businessmen and women, to consumers and citizens, hemp will be sure to “save the planet” in more ways than one! — Rêve En Vert

The Opportunity to Eliminate Plastics, Create Karma-Positive Solutions, and Build Innovative Green Technologies

There are many new companies springing up who are at the beginning of an eco revolution. Start to talk to people about companies that are working on bio-plastics, and any other useful materials from hemp. Perhaps partner with somebody Trustable, use your intuition, don’t get fooled, and start a factory of producing eco, biodegradable, compostable products from hemp. This may be an even more lucrative endeavor for your Tribe and the Mother Earth.

You can potentially, if it intuitively feels right to your seers, connect with:

Can you make or buy a 3D-manufactured hemp plastic machine? Research 3-D Printing options. This would make your community sustainable. Fully in-control of the entire process. Or, you could, if you all sense that you need educated scientists and technologists who are of integrity, reach out to different organizations.

What’s so evil about plastic? - Hemp Foundation

It never goes away: Travel 10,000 years in a time machine; you’ll enter a different world. Only one thing won’t change. Plastic will still be there, blocking the earth’s arteries.
There’s too much of it: Humans made 2.1 million tonnes in 1950. 406 million in 2015. It’s everywhere: in our homes, refrigerators, and stomachs. In our taps, ponds, lakes, and oceans.
It kills: Because it’s everywhere, and because it’s non-biodegradable, it’s inseparable from food chains. Not only of humans but also of every creature that eats.

What’s so great about Hemp?

It’s compostable

Hemp Plastic is easy to compost under standard industrial composting conditions, within 3 months. That’s crazy, compared to fossil-fuel-based plastic, whose hydrocarbon polymer base will remain unchanged, forever, like a subterranean bomb you would step on. Hemp bioplastic is, basically, the potion of plastic, and none of its poison.

Cheaper

To compare the cost per yield of hemp bioplastic to that of fossil-fuel-based plastic is injustice. Hemp bioplastics is a nascent industry. The economies of scale are non-existent. Still, we can make cheaper plastics from hemp as feedstock (instead of corn or sugarcane). The more you buy hemp bioplastic, the cheaper it becomes.

Abundant raw material

World governments are liberalizing hemp farming. Several already have, including the USA, Canada, and India. The result: we have enough farms growing industrial hemp, which is the biomass we can then change into bioplastic.

It’s less carbon per kilo of plastic

‘Less’ is understating it. Every kilo of hemp Plastic is made of only 25–35% carbon as compared to fossil-fuel-based plastic.
It works

Nobody thought we’d make hemp garments, textiles, stationery, and food. We’ve done that. And that’s only the beginning. Mere proof of concept. Even car parts can be made from hemp bioplastics. The material has all the magic of plastic, minus the curse of immortality.

Use HEMP Plastic

Industrial hemp is a lot more than an agro-economy powerhouse. It’s a vehicle of social change. Every step Hemp Foundation takes, is in tandem with thousands of rural Uttarakhand farmers, and every step is towards a secure future.

Remember The Children

Twenty years from now, your children will look back. What you decide today, will decide what they’ll say in 2040. Choose Sustainable hemp plastic today, so your children will remember you for having made the right choice when the last chance presented itself.

Marijuana brings profit and protection to Pine Ridge

by Jacob Newton, 2022, Keloland

In 2020, the people of the Oglala Sioux Tribe voted to legalize both recreational and medical marijuana. Now, two years later the town of Pine Ridge with it’s population of just around 3,000 people, hosts four recreational marijuana dispensaries…

“We have a lot of different issues on the reservation — and through this new business venture, we’re creating hope — it’s not as traditional as it used to be. [Young people] like to know that you can make a living working in a dispensary and growing plants,” Saltes said.

No Worries has around 2,000 square feet of cultivation space, according to manager Ty Eagle Bull, and they are actively expanding as well. “Things have been really busy,” he said. “People are constantly coming through the door, and with us making public news and everything — especially from off-reservation, a lot of people have been coming.”

Currently, No Worries is growing with a mix of soil crops and hydroponics, though Saltes said they are working toward moving to a fully hydroponic set up, which he hopes will help with scaling up production.

“It was a big learning curve,” Saltes said. “Our family has some arborists in it, so we kind of just took the basic plant science and applied it to cannabis.”

On the north end of town, Derek Janis, owner of Rez Budz, is in a similar boat. His is a family business run by himself, his wife, and their two children. Like the folks at No Worries, Janis has little experience in the world of marijuana cultivation. To level the field, he relies on a low-tech, but very effective cultivation method.

“We cultivate in tents,” Janis said. “I prefer tents because it’s a controlled environment, You can control the humidity, you can control the light, the temperature — you can control all that. For me, that’s way easier than having a great big building.”

While it is more simple, tent cultivation does have its limitations, and Janis acknowledges this. “We can’t grow hundreds of plant, but we’re starting out small. We’ll eventually get the bigger building — but I still prefer tents myself,” he said with a smile.

Asked what the best part of the business is for him, Janis told us it’s the people.

“All the people that are happy,” Janis said with a grin and a laugh. “All the happy faces that come through — they’re really grateful for the things we’re doing — I tell them I don’t take the credit; I credit the Tribe for that.” —Keloland

Remembering Chanku Luta, the Right Road, Lakota Spirituality

I am providing you with this special guidance. However, remember you were colonized. You may have evil spirits, demons, patterns, and behaviors because of the genocide. Energies spread easily, especially if you are in poverty, you could be susceptible to colonized behaviors that are sinful. Your spirituality is Chanku Luta and is in accordance with The Bible, God’s Word. However, remember the people who taught you The Bible were colonialists. Therefore, question your assumptions. Read the book on your own and make your own interpretations out of the metaphors Jesus, Yeshua, God gives. You can even read the Old Testament and learn about sinfulness. It is all similar to your own spiritual values. Judgment Day is real. You need to get those ugly colonialist patterns out of your neural pathways, and Remember Chanku Luta to ascend to Heaven.

To me, our history with these evil colonialists is kind of hilarious. They called us barbarians, when actually they were barbaric. They were committing genocide. We are not barbaric, we Know. We Know the ways of the Earth. Today, the Earth is dying. The people from Europe had no idea about the Circle of Life. The impacts of hurting Mother Earth are now being felt today. Islands are sinking because the ozone layer is being destroyed by all of the fertilizers, and pesticides in the soil (these white people are basically committing suicide of themselves and the earth; can you imagine poisoning your own food? It’s ridiculous. They’re stupid.) The ozone is also being destroyed by petroleum, coal. It is also being destroyed by hormones, antibiotics, and steroids they put in animals, and then the manure goes into the water and destroys the water. Again, it’s pure stupidity. They’re extremely dumb. They’re killing the earth, which they depend upon for survival. They’re also eating these animals who have been infiltrated by these toxins, and becoming extremely dumb. I call it the McDonald’s Syndrome. If you put ugly hormones, antibiotics, and steroids into animals, and then you eat them, then you become ugly and stupid yourself. It is The Circle of Life.

You All Know the Truth, The Way, Chanku Luta.

In The Bible, it’s called The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would do unto yourself.

So this is your chance to Remember that Your Way, The Lakota Way, Chanku Luta, The Circle of Life, is Real.

The Republicans have manipulated these McDonald’s Syndromized, uneducated, racist, sexist, misogynistic, people and used NLP (Neuro-Linguistic-Programming) to gain their votes easily. They take advantage of the elderly and the poor and the uneducated. They are prostitutes of the bourgeoisie (companies with a lot of money), Oil Industry, Procter and Gamble (LOL, laugh out loud), Coca-Cola, etc. It’s called lobbying, but it’s actually prostitution. They get handouts so they will get votes, money, and do what these companies want them to do in congress (LOL). They then use NLP and say words like, abortion, guns, marijuana, and use God’s name in Vain, and then these McDonald’s uneducated, discombobulated people vote for them. They also have turned people against the environment, because of the Oil Industry, I call them the PetroleoleOHs, because, wow, it’s about our survival as a species. How idiotic, right? How egregious, right? Yikes. So they’ll all go to hell. Also, the government is just printing money like crazy. That’s not real. The currency is not connected to the earth. They are totally disconnected to Reality. There is tons of poverty and homelessness in America. They are destroying the earth.

America, FYI, is Babylon in the Bible. It will fall.

Again, I asked Google AI, does the book of revelations say that Babylon will fall?

“Yes, the Book of Revelation repeatedly and explicitly declares that "Babylon the great" will fall, describing its total destruction as a future judgment for its sins, luxury, and opposition to God, with imagery of a great city cast into the sea like a millstone, never to be found again. Key passages include Revelation 14:8 ("Babylon is fallen, is fallen") and chapters 17 and 18, detailing the symbolic fall of this corrupt world system.”

This is a warning, a way to say, do the opposite.

Get in the Hemp industry now is my suggestion for your prosperity and for your karma to be zero. America has banned hemp because congress has been infiltrated with evil Republicans who use it as a tool for votes. So, you have an advantage if you start now. However, you must be on the Right Road, with intentionality in your Heart, not your ego. That is why I am providing this chapter. Be cautious. Be intuitive. Be righteous. Be integrity in all your actions. Ensure the elders are included. The seers. Make sure it is karma positive. You can read more about karma (it’s a concept from Hinduism and Buddhism) in this book in the chapter entitled, Quantum Physics and Buddhism Leading You to Your Salvation/Nirvana; What is karma positive and what is karma negative?

People in America may start to wake up to the manipulations of the Republican Party, and Democrats may legalize cannabis and hemp soon or eventually.

So Remember your Lakota values, produce from your heart and soul, and that will be karma positive, sinless, loving of the earth, and you will be prosperous. Intentionality matters in the Universe.

The colonialists may have infiltrated your culture. Beware. Stop drinking alcohol. It steals your money. Plus, it is called Spirits for a reason. Demons, the devil, Satan, can enter your body.

I also would avoid mating with whites. They are of a lower intelligence level and have a different genealogical history. You all, from China, who have not been circumcised (you can read about my chapters on that in this book, Our New World Free of Circumcision Could be Compassionate 5-Part Series), you all have extremely good DNA (I am a Shaman and Know. Your Seers can connect with me and what I have discovered.) Your penises have not been cut off. I would be cautious mating with whites who have been circumcised and are of a different ethnic origin.

There is a lot of depression and suicide in our community because of the barbarism of colonialism.

Cannabis and Hemp can bring hope to your community. You can regain your culture, and re-create your community.

Start using Cannabis instead. Stop alcohol. Stop the gambling industry as soon as you can. Start Cannabis. I write about it below. It is a sacred herb from China, Asiatica. It is very healing. It is also part of your ancestry. You can connect with your ancestry from thousands of years ago. You crossed the Bering Strait 30,000 years ago. This herb is part of your culture. Wow, right!

Connect with your ancestors and let them guide you on the Right Road, the Red Road, and then you will be in line with the Universe, and do not have to worry.

You all could also perhaps play a major part in helping people understand The Circle of Life. You are Wisdom Leaders. America is kind of devoid of Wisdom Leaders. You could play a major role in being the Sacred People You Are who Know the Earth, can talk to animals, and understand Respecting this One Earth. I am also a shaman on this mission. You can read all my articles about this environmental emergency on my Medium Profile https://medium.com/@ashleyheacock

Chanku Luta

If you need a reminder, Google AI (Artificial Intelligence) is really useful. It takes all of the data of the internet and produces results if you ask it a question. So it is neutral.

I asked Google AI: “lakota spirituality, the right road”

Google AI produced this result that I agree with. I changed one wording to another that I know is more appropriate. Google AI is not always entirely correct, but it is generally on-point.

“In Lakota spirituality, "the right road" is known as the Red Road (Chanku Luta), a metaphor for a spiritual way of life marked by integrity, respect, and balance. It is often contrasted with the "Black Road," which represents a path of self-destruction or imbalance.

Key Concepts of the Red Road

Walking the Red Road is a deep, personal commitment to living life in a good way, which involves cultivating strong connections to the Creator (Wakan Tanka), the Earth, all living beings, and one's ancestors. It's a lifelong journey of self-discovery and growth, not a destination of perfection.

Key aspects include:

Balance: Striving for balance across one's spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional aspects of life.
Respect for Nature: Recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and treating the Earth and all creation with deep respect and gratitude.
Community and Ancestors: Honoring ancestors and elders, seeking wisdom from those who have walked the path before.
Avoiding Harm: Turning away from addictions and actions that may damage oneself or others.

The Seven Sacred Values

A central guide for those walking the Red Road are the seven sacred values (or virtues) that the Lakota people received from the White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman. Practicing these values is fundamental to this spiritual path:

Wóčhekiya (Prayer): A universal concept of being in touch with one's spiritual existence and the Great Spirit.
Wičákha (Honesty / Truth): Upholding integrity and speaking the truth, even when it is difficult.
Wahwala (Humility): Recognizing one's own limitations and understanding an equal relationship to all surroundings.
Waúnšila (Compassion / Empathy): Showing kindness, empathy, and extending a helping hand to those in need.
Waóhola (Respect): Treating all beings and the natural world with dignity and honor.
Wawokiye (Generosity): The willingness to help, share, and give to others.
Wóksape (Wisdom / Understanding): Gaining deep understanding and insight from life experiences and the world around us.

Walking the Red Road means embodying these virtues daily, stumbling at times, but always getting back up and continuing in the right direction.”–Google AI

Again, I recommend also potentially reading my chapter entitled, Quantum Physics and Buddhism Leading You to Your Salvation/Nirvana, i.e. Heaven as related to Judgment Day in The Bible. It is helpful to integrate different spiritual and scientific philosophies. I am a student of Hinduism and Buddhism, and of quantum physics. They align with The Bible. Sometimes reading about sin and karma from the perspective of a different ethnic group, in this case Hindus and Buddhists, and Quantum Physicists (or my interpretation of it) may be helpful to you. Differentials in language and symbology can be useful.

Prophecies about this Era in Time in the History of the Universe

Mayan Prophecies about 2012

“The Mayan "prophecy" about 2012 was a modern misinterpretation of their Long Count calendar, which marked the end of a major 5,125-year cycle (the 13th baktun) on December 21, 2012, not the world's end. While some New Age beliefs and sensationalized media predicted apocalypse (solar flares, asteroids, disasters) or a spiritual transformation, Mayan experts clarify it was seen as a cyclical reset, a "new beginning" for humanity and consciousness, coinciding with the return of a creation god (Bolon Yokte) and a new era.

What the Maya Actually Believed/Recorded:

Cyclical Time: The Maya viewed time as cyclical, not linear, so the end of a cycle meant the start of a new one.
Calendar Reset: December 21, 2012, marked 13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count, the end of one major cycle (a baktun) and the beginning of the next.
Return of a God: Some inscriptions, like on Monument 6, mentioned the return of Bolon Yokte, a god of creation, to usher in a new age.
A Call to Consciousness: For some contemporary Maya, it was a call for spiritual awakening, harmony with nature, and a rebirth of wisdom.

What the "Prophecy" Became (Modern Interpretations):

Apocalyptic Theories: The internet and media fueled doomsday scenarios, including catastrophic weather, supervolcano eruptions, solar storms, or planetary alignments.
Cosmic Alignment: Proponents claimed the solar system would align with the galactic center, disrupting energy flows.
Spiritual Transformation: A more positive view suggested a "golden age" of peace, love, and higher consciousness.

The Reality:

A New Cycle: The date simply marked the close of one era and the beginning of another, a monumental but non-catastrophic event in their calendar system, akin to a new year.

Daniel Pinchbeck’s book from Mayan Prophecies, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl

“The book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, by Daniel Pinchbeck, explores the Mayan calendar's Long Count cycle, which ended on December 21, 2012, as a time of potential global consciousness shift, rather than a physical apocalypse.

2012: This was the central year in the book's title and the date when the Mayan Great Cycle of 5,125 years concluded, according to various interpretations. It was proposed to mark the end of an old way of life and the beginning of a new planetary culture.
2026: Some interpretations derived from Toltec traditions suggest that after the 2012 cycle, there followed years leading to a "new cycle or era" that would begin around 2026-2027. A traditional date for "asking the gods for a new cycle" is cited specifically in November 2026. This suggests the 2012 event was merely a transition point within a longer period of transformation extending to the mid-2020s.”–Google AI

The Hopi Prophecy

“The Hopi prophecy describes humanity's journey through four worlds, with the current Fourth World facing purification due to corruption and imbalance, signaled by technological advancements like "horseless wagons" and "cobwebs in the sky" (internet/power lines) and a potential "gourd of ashes" (nuclear events). It foretells a coming "Purifier" or "True White Brother," a spiritual leader from the East, and a "Blue Star Kachina" appearing before a final, great purification, urging people to follow the "Hopi Way" of peace, respect for nature, and community to survive and enter a harmonious Fifth World.

Key Elements of the Prophecy:

The Four Worlds: The Hopi believe humanity has lived through three previous worlds, each ending in destruction (fire, ice, flood) due to humankind's departure from spiritual law, leading to purification by the Creator, Maasau.
Signs of the Fourth World's End:

Technology: "Horseless wagons" (cars), "black ribbons" (roads), "roads in the heavens" (air travel/satellites/ISS), and "talking cobwebs" (internet/telephone wires).

War & Destruction: A "gourd of ashes" (nuclear bombs) thrown from the sky, burning the land.
Environmental Imbalance: Disruption of Earth's balance through mining (uranium/coal), causing pollution and natural disasters.

The Purification (The Great Day of Purification/The Great Shaking): A time of chaos, natural disasters (storms, earthquakes, floods), and spiritual awakening.
The Purifier/True White Brother: A spiritual figure from the East who will appear with knowledge to guide people to unity and help them survive the purification, often linked to the Blue Star Kachina.
The Hopi Way: The prophecy emphasizes living in harmony with nature, adhering to ancient teachings, creating community, and finding inner spiritual guidance rather than relying on outside leaders.
The Fifth World: A new, peaceful world of balance and spiritual understanding that follows the purification, for those who have followed the true path.

In essence, the prophecy serves as a warning to humanity to change its destructive path and reconnect with spiritual principles before a final purification leads to a new, better world, with signs of this time already manifesting in modern society.” –Google AI

“The Hopi prophecy doesn't give a single date but describes signs indicating humanity is in the "Great Purification" or the transition to the Fifth World, with events like environmental collapse, "cobwebs in the sky" (internet/satellites), and "houses in the sky" (space travel) signaling this time, a period of urgent choice between destruction and spiritual renewal, emphasizing the now for collective change, not a distant event.

(*My Note: this is what I have been trying to tell all of you in my articles about the environment. We need rapid, collective action NOW to save the Earth!)

Key Elements of the Prophecy

Previous Worlds: Humanity has passed through three previous worlds, each ending in destruction due to corruption, greed, and turning away from spiritual teachings (fire, ice, flood).
The Fourth World: We are in the Fourth World, which began after the flood, with a promise to live humbly with the Great Spirit.
The Signs of Purification (The "Here and Now"):

"Cobwebs of the Sky": Technology like the internet and telecommunications.
"Iron Snakes": Railroads spreading across the land.
"Strange Beasts": Cattle.
"Thunder-sticks": Rifles and modern weapons.
"Houses in the Sky": Space exploration and satellites.
Environmental Devastation: Fires, floods, barren lands, and pollution.
Time Speeding Up: Lack of time for family, generational disconnect.

The Choice: A critical choice between a path of destruction or "everlasting life" through spiritual balance and harmony with nature.

When is "Now"?

Hopi elders, like Thomas Banyacya, emphasized in the late 20th century that these signs were already manifesting, indicating we were at the "eleventh hour" or the "river flowing very fast" towards change.
The prophecies suggest we are currently in the midst of this purification, a time of reckoning where humanity must choose to live by ancient wisdom and care for the Earth to enter a harmonious Fifth World, rather than waiting for a singular future date.

In essence, the Hopi prophecy isn't about a future date but a present condition: we are living through the signs and must act now to change course.” –Google AI

Age of Aquarius Prophecies around 2025

“The concept of the "Age of Aquarius" originates from ancient astronomy and astrology, with roots in several early civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome). It does not stem from a single ethnic group, but rather developed over millennia across various cultures.

The Age of Aquarius is an astrological era, occurring due to Earth's slow axial wobble (precession), believed to usher in profound changes like heightened consciousness, technological advancement, spiritual awakening, and a shift towards community, intellectual growth, and harmony, moving away from the previous Piscean Age's focus on dogma and duality. While the exact start date is debated (some place it now, others centuries away), it symbolizes a global transformation towards unity, human rights, and understanding.

Key characteristics of the Aquarian Age:

Consciousness & Spirituality: Increased awareness, spiritual enlightenment, and a deeper connection to universal truths, moving beyond traditional religious structures.
Intellectual & Technological Growth: Major scientific breakthroughs, cosmic rationality, and advanced technology.
Social & Political Change: A focus on equality, human rights, global interconnectedness, and teamwork (the "we" over the "me").
Harmony with Nature: Greater understanding and integration with the natural world.
Shift from Pisces: A move from the Age of Pisces (associated with faith, sacrifice, and duality) to Aquarius (symbolizing air, intellect, and unity).

Astrological Context:

Precession: The Earth's slow wobble causes the Vernal Equinox (start of spring) to shift through the constellations of the zodiac over thousands of years (a cycle of ~25,800 years).
Timing: Each astrological age lasts roughly 2,150 years, and astrologers disagree on precisely when the shift from Pisces to Aquarius began, with some believing it's dawning now and others seeing it further in the future. (There's no single agreed-upon date, but astrologers believe we're in a gradual transition into the Age of Aquarius, with some pinpointing recent years (like 2024) due to shifts like Pluto entering Aquarius, while others suggest it will fully arrive in the 24th or 25th centuries, as the Vernal Equinox point slowly moves into the Aquarius constellation, a process that takes centuries.–Google AI).

In essence, it's seen as a coming age of universal love, brotherhood, and higher wisdom, a profound spiritual and societal evolution.”–Google AI

Book of Revelations in The Bible Prophecies:

“Yes, the Book of Revelation contains numerous passages that describe catastrophic events which could be interpreted as severe environmental disasters. These events are typically presented as divine judgments upon a wicked world, often involving the destruction of a third of natural resources.

Key examples of these events include:

Vegetation Destruction: At the sounding of the first trumpet, a third of the earth is burned up, including a third of the trees and all green grass.
Marine Devastation: The second trumpet brings a "burning object like a great mountain" falling into the sea, resulting in a third of the sea turning to "blood," a third of the sea creatures dying, and a third of the ships being destroyed.
Freshwater Contamination: The third trumpet leads to a great burning star (named "Wormwood") falling on the rivers and fresh water sources, making a third of them bitter and undrinkable, causing many people to die.
Atmospheric Disruption: The fourth trumpet causes a third of the sun, moon, and stars to be darkened, suggesting a disruption of the atmosphere.
Extreme Heat and Earthquakes: Later judgments, such as those described in the bowl judgments, include people being scorched by intense heat from the sun and the occurrence of a massive, unprecedented earthquake that levels cities and moves islands and mountains.

While the text describes these events as divine acts, modern interpretations sometimes link this imagery to contemporary concerns like climate change, pollution, and the consequences of human exploitation of the planet. The book also includes a verse that speaks of God's intent to "destroy those who destroy the earth," which some interpret as a call for environmental stewardship and accountability for humanity's impact on the environment.” – Google AI

From John of Patmos’s vision, we draw several conclusions about Babylon the Great:

• Babylon in the end times will have influence over all “peoples, multitudes, nations and languages” (Revelation 17:15).

• Babylon the Great will promote religious heresy, indicated by its association with blasphemy (Revelation 17:3) and its depiction as a prostitute (see Psalm 106:39; Leviticus 17:7; Judges 2:17)

• Babylon will actively lead people astray into corruption (Revelation 18:23; 19:2).

In the end, the kingdoms that Babylon the Great relied on will turn against it, and by their hand Babylon is destroyed. The beast and the kings ruling with him will wage war against Jesus Christ. They will lose, of course, as Jesus is “Lord of lords and King of kings” (Revelation 17:14). In Revelation 18:2, an angel descends to the earth proclaiming the great news of Jesus’ victory over Babylon the Great. All heaven rejoices (Revelation 19:1– 3).

In the end times, the world’s rebellion against God will rise to a fever pitch. The Antichrist’s system will be characterized by rampant materialism, love of money, outrageous idolatry, and religious sacrilege. But his time will be short. At the end of the tribulation, Jesus wins. Babylon the Great is destroyed, and the Antichrist is “thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur” (Revelation 19:20). Jesus alone is the almighty Lord of lords and King of kings.” –What Does It Mean that Babylon The Great Has Fallen

Key Message

“The core message is that despite intense suffering, persecution, and cosmic evil, God's plan will prevail through Christ, the conquering Lamb, culminating in His ultimate triumph, the judgment of evil, and the eternal reign of His kingdom, calling believers to steadfast faith and repentance.”–Google

My Conclusion

All of these prophecies predict the same thing: environmental disaster. We are at the period where all of these prophecies are coming true. It is time to act NOW! That is why I stress saving the environment in all of my articles. It is Real! Wake up!

All of these prophecies are also about overcoming evil. Judgment Day. Overcoming your greed, desires, envy and becoming more understanding of human rights, global interconnectedness, spiritual awareness, and being in harmony with nature.

Therefore, you are at the perfect junction in time to make the shift from alcohol and gambling to cannabis and hemp, which are pure and innocent in the eyes of God.

Be positive.

Pray for the Earth. Pray for Healing. Pray for the animals.

Focus your attention on the Earth, The Environment, Survival.

(It’s superficiality and individuality that is evil; remain steadfast in your community support and respect of each other, the animals, and this Earth.)

Organic Sustainable Diverse Farming for Your Community

As mentioned above, hemp can make your land arable.
Help discover new ways of living and being with the earth in combination with sustainable technology. This may entail land-based usage, or greenhouses.

(*My Note: Due to climate change and the precious Earth dying, I would consider greenhouses with oxygen to prepare for months without oxygen. This could happen soon or in years, or in decades. I’m not sure. However, I feel responsible to tell you this. Again, I receive revelations and you are my tribe.)

Which plants should be grown for your community? What nutrition should be provided? This is very important for the development of your children. Nutrition is a priority. If you do not have proper nutrition, you cannot think as well, you cannot grow as tall.
Consider a Buffalo Sanctuary. That would be helpful for your mental capacity and bodily growth. Remember they are sacred animals. Those who are in charge should be aware of providing proper treatment. You can talk to them, channel with them. Remember you are shamans. The Buffalo can tell you what they want and need to feel good, safe, strong, healthy, and respected.
Consider a Horse Sanctuary. They are very sacred, empathic, smart animals. They are also very good to keep up one’s masculinity. Riding a wild horse around a large area takes strong muscularity. I recommend it to keep your evolutionary growth. As I talk about in my book, circumcision demasculinizes men. Evolution is a constant process. Horses can help you keep up your masculinity, if you know what I mean. And I as a female have connected with horses too, spiritually. I feed them fruits. So the women can also find their femininity with the animals. It’s about balance between men and women, masculinity and femininity, yin and yang. Your Tribe will need to find new ways of Being in Balance.

There is also organic, well-treated Buffalo at the Organic Bread Root Co-op in Rapid City. However, obviously, it would be more economical and spiritual and remind you of your ancestry to create your own Buffalo Sanctuary.

Consider berries from Paha Sapa.
What did you eat in the past to become so healthy and strong? What should you grow in order to reach that state again?
Use your shamanic intuition.
The patriarchy has supported mono-crops, like just growing wheat on your entire plantation. It’s antithetical to a sustainable community.
Instead, I would consider diversity. Diversity is also an intelligent plan. Sometimes one crop may fail, but another succeeds. Plan A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Then you’re community will feel safer.
What should be grown so your community can thrive if the roads are closed, grocery stores do not receive supplies, and the entire US economy falls apart? Remember what I wrote in this chapter. America is Babylon in The Bible. It may fall.
Avoid Satanic products like Coca-Cola and Doritos, etc. Your population has diabetes. You need proper nutrition.
I have been learning about Complete Proteins which I think are a key. It’s like a combination of iron and vitamin c, which prevents anemia. I live in Peru, I eat a porridge of kaniwa (with iron) and a fresh fruit drink like orange juice (for vitamin c). This seems to be a really healthy combination. You can research this more online. I also find the combo of salts and sugar to be good for electrolyte balancing too.
There are many nutritional sources here in Peru that can be grown in South Dakota too. They are affordable and healthy! Look into Kiwicha, Kañiwa, and Algarrobina. If you would like to export some seeds or products from here, please email me at ashleyheacock@gmail.com. Or you may not need to.
Perhaps go into the Black Hills and find what you used to eat to become strong, and grow those on your new arable land thanks to hemp.
Build a sustainable farm for your community so you are safe and secure in knowing your family and community will be provided for. It is uncertain what is going to happen on Planet Earth because of Climate Change. You may also need oxygen-filled greenhouses if the pollution from Satanism gets so infiltrated into the air in the entire world. Remember, we Are One. Water is One. It circulates. From the rivers, to the air, to the oceans, to the streams, to ground water. It’s One. You may need water filtration systems as well to take out the toxins. Read more about the environmental crisis in this book in my chapters, Problems and Solutions for the Environment and Poverty, and Our Circular Eco Economy 5-Part Series.

The True Story of Cannabis (Santa Maria) as a Healing Herb: Its Spiritual and Medicinal History

“Cannabis has a long and colourful history. The use of cannabis originated in central Asia or western China (*My Note: you are from China; you crossed the Bering Strait; this herb should be sacred to you; connect with your Chinese ancestors). Cannabis has been used for its alleged healing properties for millennia. The first documented case of its use dates back to 2800 BC, when it was listed in the Emperor Shen Nung’s (regarded as the father of Chinese medicine) pharmacopoeia. Therapeutic indications of cannabis are mentioned in the texts of the Indian Hindus, Assyrians, Greeks and Romans. These texts reported cannabis to treat a vast array of different health problems, including arthritis, depression, amenorrhea, inflammation, pain, lack of appetite and asthma.” — The University of Sydney

In Chinese, this traditional medicine is called Dàmá (大麻)

(*My Note: Remember, you come from what is called China. You crossed the Bering Strait to enter what is called America. Therefore, this medicine may be very sacred to your ancestors for Asia. I would connect with them to learn more about this sacred herb.)

“Reflecting the long association of cannabis and humans, some myths in India have cannabis emerge, as a divine ingredient, in the earliest stages of cosmogony, known as the churning of the ocean. The god Shiva supposedly favored cannabis, which had a religious role as an agent for mystic inspiration. Under names such as Vijaya , cannabis has been used for thousands of years in ayurvedic medicine to reduce pain, nausea, and anxiety, improve appetite and sleep, relax muscles, and produce a feeling of euphoria.” — Marc-Antoine Crocq, MD on National Center for Biotechnology Information

In Arabic, this traditional medicine is called Indian Hemp (قنب هندي) — I speak Arabic, قنب is pronounced q-n-b; therefore the word cannabis comes from Arabic.

“Hindu legend holds that Shiva, the supreme Godhead of many sects, was given the title ‘The Lord of Bhang’, because the cannabis plant was his favourite food. The ancient Hindus thought the medicinal benefits of cannabis were explained by pleasing the gods such as Shiva. Ancient Hindu texts attribute the onset of fever with the ‘hot breath of the gods’ who were angered by the afflicted person’s behaviour. Using cannabis in religious rites appeased the gods and hence reduced the fever.” — The University of Sydney

To be with the Gods, in your heart, one needs to be able to breathe. That is what this medicinal herb helps you do!

In Greek, it is called Μαριχουάνα — interesting that this seems close to the word marijuana, and it actually is. On Google Translate, you can hear it “marichouána”.

George Washington Grew Hemp: Tales of Cannabis Folklore

Cannabis has played a significant role throughout history, from its sacred use in ancient cultures, to George Washington’s hemp cultivation, and its continued influence within society despite old perceptions and modern regulations

The rich tapestry of cannabis folklore weaves through human history, intertwining with cultures, religions, and societies across the globe. From the hemp fields of America’s founding fathers to the sacred rituals of ancient civilizations, cannabis has left an indelible mark on our collective story. Let’s embark on a journey through time, exploring the captivating legends and myths surrounding this controversial plant.

The Founding Fathers and Hemp: Separating Fact from Fiction

The cannabis legend of George Washington cultivating hemp at Mount Vernon is a cornerstone of American cannabis folklore. While it’s true that Washington grew hemp, the reality is more nuanced than modern enthusiasts might imagine.

In colonial America, hemp was a prized crop, valued for its industrial applications. Washington, ever the pragmatic leader, recognized hemp’s utility and advocated for its widespread cultivation. He even mandated hemp farming for Virginia’s agriculturists at one point.

Hindu Mythology: The Divine Plant

In Hindu tradition, cannabis holds a sacred status. The Vedas, ancient religious texts dating back to around 1500 BCE, mention cannabis as one of five sacred plants. According to legend, the god Shiva discovered cannabis while resting under its leaves, cementing its divine status in Hindu culture. This mythological connection has endured, with cannabis playing a role in some Hindu religious ceremonies to this day. The plant’s association with Shiva, the destroyer and transformer, speaks to its perceived power to alter consciousness and provide spiritual insights.

The Scythians: Funerary Rites and Cannabis Vapor

The nomadic Scythians of ancient Eurasia incorporated cannabis into their funerary rituals. Greek historian Herodotus documented their practice of throwing hemp seeds onto hot stones, creating an intoxicating vapor that participants inhaled to enter a trance-like state. This ancient ritual illustrates cannabis’s long-standing association with spiritual communion and death rites. It suggests that early cultures recognized the plant’s potential to alter consciousness and facilitate transcendent experiences.

Zulu Warriors and Sufi Mystics: Courage and Enlightenment

Cannabis legends span the African continent and beyond. Zulu warriors in South Africa reportedly used cannabis to boost courage before battle, highlighting its perceived psychological benefits. In Islamic folklore, the Persian Sufi mystic Haydar is said to have discovered cannabis in the mountains. After consuming its leaves, he returned with newfound wisdom, reinforcing the idea of cannabis as a tool for enlightenment and mental expansion.

— George Washington Grew Hemp and Other Tales of Cannabis Folklore, Mattew Reveles, 2023

(*My Note: Again, as you market your cannabis/hemp products, you can use these facts to help de-NLP (de-neuro-linguistically-program) people who have been manipulated by the Cotton Industry that used money to ban hemp and cannabis; lobbying representatives in government; i.e. prostituting them. So there is major work to be done to tell the Real Story of this herb that is sacred to spirituality.)

If you would like a timeline documentation of the benefits of this medicina, as well as the propaganda against it, I would read this article:

By the late 18th century, early editions of American medical journals showed recommendations of hemp seeds and roots for the treatment of inflamed skin, incontinence and venereal disease. Irish doctor William O’Shaughnessy first popularized marijuana’s medical use in England and America. As a physician with the British East India Company, he found marijuana eased the pain of rheumatism and was helpful against discomfort and nausea in cases of rabies, cholera and tetanus. — The History of Medicinal Cannabis
Washington wasn’t alone in his hemp cultivation. Other founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and James Monroe, also recognized hemp’s potential. Jefferson grew hemp on his plantation, while Franklin established one of America’s first paper mills using hemp as the primary material. These early American leaders saw hemp as a cornerstone of the nation’s fledgling economy, underscoring its significance in American agricultural history. — George Washington Grew Hemp and Other Tales of Cannabis Folklore

The Spirit of This Medicinal Herb

I feel she is a feminine herb. Very delicate. I call her Santa Maria.
Use her to heal your heart, heal your fears. Be vulnerable. Cry.
Take a break when you need to, and use Grandfather Tobacco to Release.
Connect with the Spirit World.
Start to remember your Shamanic ways. Your intuition. Your plant and animal guidance.
I have begun to add lavender, roses, mint, jasmine, calendula, and other herbs to Cannabis. It seems to be a more beautiful experience for me, but use your intuitional guidance about what is local to your area and powerful for your journey.
I have also experimented with making Cannabis into edibles. It is a very different experience when you ingest it into your body for a calming effect, rather than smoking it.
Also be aware of the differences between indica (calming) and sativa (energizing).
There is a prophecy I heard from a powerful Native American Shaman that this medicine will help heal the world.

Marketing Suggestions

I feel responsible to include some suggestions around cannabis and hemp, that are intuitive to me, but obviously feel into your hearts:

Make the packaging Lakota and spiritual and beautiful.
One of the problems I see with the packaging and labeling of cannabis products is that they are really ugly and masculine, the opposite of the spirit of the herb. They look really strange. This may scare people away. That may be part of the reason why cannabis is still illegal in the US.
Consider products that males would buy and products that females would be more interested in. That way you have different packaging and labeling for different types of people. Or, you could just have one brand like Natural American Spirit does. Your choice!
Consider raw indica and sativa and indica/sativa hybrid herbal packaging, rolled packaging, edibles, oils, CBD products, cream products for the skin to soothe and heal, etc.
It is important to note the difference between indica, which is calming; and sativa, which is creativity-inducing; and hybrid, which contains both.

Here are some different ideas for you that I feel are in line with your cultural and spiritual traditions. Perhaps you have an artist who can help design your packaging and labeling?

Cannabis and Tobacco Shamaning Suggestions

~ Prepare your body. Use your intuition.

~ Make sure you have eaten well. Also have healthy snacks readily available.

~ Try to have a silent space. Either in your home, a garden, a forest, etc.

~ Begin with an intention. Tune into your heart. What would you like to heal towards the Light? This herb should not be paired directly with Grandfather Tobacco but rather use tobacco as a break. Grandfather Tobacco brings you to Truth. Therefore, Grandfather Tobacco should be used when you need a release from your healing journey with Cannabis. However, you can combine Cannabis with Lavender, Roses, Clover, or whatever your heart feels called to.

~ Take a small dose at first to see how it feels in your body. Breathe deeply. Listen to your heart. Connect to God, or The Great Spirit, or your ancestors, or whoever you feel comfortable with. Create a sacred space.

~ You may experience fear. That is normal. Santa Maria is actually a medicinal herb used to help you heal. Breathe. What feelings arise? Listen, love, understand, forgive, release. Be vulnerable. Cry. The energies you have been holding will release peacefully. You should feel a lot better.

~ When your body feels like it is overwhelmed, take a break! Use Grandfather Tobacco (Natural Organic Native American Spirits brand, or Mapacho in Peru, or a Vape). Nicotine connects you to the Spirit World, to Heaven, to The Kingdom. Say a prayer. Allow this medicine to calm you. You can then end your practice, continue it, or go on a meditative walk in nature.

Vision Quests in Paha Sapa

We are beginning to remember The Truth of The Earth, The Circle of Life, due to devastating pollution and extremely sad effects on animals, plants, islands, etc.
You are being called upon to help heal the Earth.
You were wounded.
“The wound makes the medicine.” — Pixie Lighthorse
Use Cannabis and Grandfather Tobacco as your guides to help heal you and connect you with the spirit world.
Receive your visions. If you would like, relay them to your friends, family, grandparents who may be able to help you interpret them.
You could go on a 1-2 week, or whatever feels right to you, retreat around the sacred sites and receive your visions. You could live in a camper in Paha Sapa and do your shamanic work for months, years. You could start communities living in Paha Sapa. These are just suggestions. The animals love you and miss you. The entire world of animals do. Your language is sacred, calming, and prayerful for the Earth.
Consider this Your Calling. I have been channeling with you all for about a year now, so many of you may recollect some of what I write about. The time is now to pray and vision. The Earth is dying. Please help in any way you all can. You are the most powerful people on the face of this Earth, if you didn’t know. I can feel your energies. There is something special about this timing.
The Mayans said everything will change in 2012. Since then, we’ve had crazy politics. Trump (a person who got into bankruptcy 11 times, knows nothing about international relations, has a Russian prostitute he bought as his wife, and was a Reality Game Show Host is our president. He also has his followers wear red hats that say, Make America Great Again. Sign, signal? Hilarious? Sad? These people in the South are actually in deep poverty, loneliness, despair, and committing suicide. And yes, they’re angry too. So they voted for Trump, who I personally have never really listened to because everything he says is a lie or a coded lie or something. It’s bizarre.)
This is a sign of The Sacred Clown. You are well-aware of this term? Something is wrong. Something needs to be rearranged dramatically. “A Sacred Clown is somebody who embodies chaos, reversal, and satire to reveal deeper truths, challenge dogma, and maintain social balance by mimicking absurdities and exposing flaws, often appearing during ceremonies to bring powerful, often shocking, spiritual insight through humor and taboo-breaking. They represent the void or chaos before creation, act as tricksters, and use their inverted behaviors to teach lessons and avert evil, connecting the community to primal spiritual forces.”–Google AI

This researched article is beautiful: I would read it it in full to help remind you of your past legacy. Here is one quote: “The images given in these visions are a magnificent compilation of the painfully felt experience of the American Indian. They are infiltrated, however by an aspect of spirit which is particularly available to the Native American due to the fluidity of his connection with nature and with his unconscious. Spirit here adds a viewpoint, a new attitude that transforms the devastating nature of the original experience. The original affect is widened to include something that provides vision into future potentials. Each image reveals both the despair and a slightly new way to reflect upon the experience. The original experience is compensated with an aspect that resides in the unconscious, in the archetypal, in the sacred realm of the ancestors — a realm particularly available to the Indian.”

Crazy Horse Monument Vision; Re-establishing your Roots in Paha Sapa

As you start your journey back to Paha Sapa and start your vision questing, you can begin to even live there and start communities.

There is also a vision that you should know about: The Crazy Horse Monument Vision.

“Among so many things, Crazy Horse Memorial® is a Monument honoring North American Indians. Chief Henry Standing Bear envisioned a Memorial to pay tribute to our indigenous people. Standing Bear and Native elders chose and invited our father, Korczak Ziolkowski, to carve a Monument in South Dakota’s sacred Black Hills. With a handshake, a promise was made and a dream was born.

Although the sculpture will be the largest in the world, Dad always said it was the smallest part of the mission. With a strong belief in the importance of education, our parents ensured the project’s humanitarian goals included a Museum that would educate visitors about Native Nations and a University where Native students acquired knowledge and skill to make a difference for future generations.” –Crazy Horse Memorial

I have a dream that you can establish a large community there and be surrounded by Paha Sapa, the animals, nature. You could hike and do vision quests around the mountains. It would be like a dream come true.

You can have a University, as the Crazy Horse Memorial has planned. I recommend science, technology, creative arts, something differential than the America’s school curriculum (that I find to be an old industrial, boring, mind-numbing, subjugating system).

Check out NuVu, https://www.nuvuschool.org/:

“NuVu is a project-based high school serving the greater Boston area. Our students focus deeply on one studio at a time — setting aside textbooks and rote learning for a distinctive hands-on learning experience.” — Nuvu founded by a Syrian Saeed Arida

You can see in the photos below how it is a unique and fun way of learning.

There are also other options for you to research for new education styles that are more suitable to your culture. I have written about this topic here: https://medium.com/@ashleyheacock/a-new-education-system-for-a-new-world-7a2b35051f10

Here is another example:

Montessori:

This is an incredible school that was started in Europe by a woman who believed the poor children in poverty could learn. She must have been a Saint. Her ideology resonated with everybody, including the rich too. It is now worldwide. Read more about it here and see if you’d like to direct a Montessori School yourself! https://amshq.org/about-montessori/history-of-montessori/

“Our belief statement articulates the basic tenet that:

Children have the right to a safe, nurturing environment which maximizes Montessori learning
Children are to be respected as different from adults and as unique individuals who are different from one another
All children can learn
Children will create themselves through purposeful activity
Intrinsic gratification is its own personal award
Education is a shared responsibility involving students, teachers, parents and community members
Learning is a lifelong endeavor”

Dr. Maria Montessori, Image by Google

“1911 Montessori Comes to the U.S.

By 1911, word has spread overseas. Montessori is gaining popularity in America and the first school opens in Scarborough, New York. Dr. Montessori travels to the U.S., giving lectures that draw large crowds. In 1915, she is invited to showcase her method at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. This fuels more American interest, and more than 100 Montessori schools open in the U.S. by 1916.”

You can then have your reservations where you have your organic sustainable farms and cannabis/hemp products, plus a place in Paha Sapa to vision quest and be with the animals, plus a University. This should all create a very prosperous future for the Lakota Community. I personally am extremely excited about it! :)

A future rendition of what Crazy Horse Memorial and Community and University could look like; I remember seeing it when I went as a little girl. I found it online on this website: by https://magiccarpetcaravan.com/2018/01/03/crazy-horse-monument/

Sustainable Plan with Cannabis/Hemp for the Native American Community of South Dakota to Prosper

My Story and Introduction to this Article

Lakota Values:

So read with your Heart, Center your Vision on the Earth, on Your People, on helping your community and the Earth, and on Future Generations to Come.

I am shamaning and trying to help spread the word about cannabis and hemp.

“Historical Chinese perspectives often characterized early European visitors as “barbarians” or uncivilized due to cultural differences, a sense of Chinese superiority, and European behaviors considered disrespectful by Chinese norms.”

Know that you come from China 30,000 years ago when you crossed the Bering Strait.

Know that cannabis/hemp is from China.

Galatians on Circumcision

Key Points from Galatians:

Circumcision Nullifies Christ: Paul warns that accepting circumcision for justification makes Christ of no advantage and severs believers from grace, obligating them to keep the whole Law (Galatians 5:2–4).

Faith Over Law: The core message is that salvation and justification come through faith, not by works of the Law, including circumcision (Galatians 2:16, 3:2–3).

“Neither Circumcision Nor Uncircumcision”: In Christ, neither physical state matters; what counts is “faith expressing itself through love” (Galatians 5:6).

Freedom in the Spirit: Paul encourages believers to stand in their freedom in Christ and live by the Spirit, not submit to the bondage of legalistic demands (Galatians 5:1, 5:13).

Attack on Opponents: He condemns the “agitators” who preach circumcision, even wishing they would go further (emasculate themselves), highlighting their divisive and misleading motives (Galatians 5:10–12).
