In this 8-minute video podcast, Park Ranger Ravis Henry sings and tells their story of Sisnaajini - the White Shell Mountain, as well as the importance of Great Sand Dunes to his people.

      Repay by telling your white veterans brothers to act right and stop being over entitled assholes. And if they want to act like that, to go back to their ancestral homelands, to show their ancestral people how they treat people. And if you or anyone you know say that trump stuff of we have immigration problem. Know us Navajos agree and we ask you and then when are you all leaving? Oh you don’t want to leave? At least honor our treaties and get the fuck across the Mississippi!

    The great spirit has called me to serve the people and land of The Great Sand Dune, and my heart and spirit are smiling so much to know that I will be near Sisnaajini.
    Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories and words. All people no matter their upbringing or homeland benefit from being reminded that the land and the mountains are living beings like the animals and our fellow human beings. This wisdom and its embodiment is the path forward for mending our collective relationship to the land. Im so grateful for you sharing this with the people.

    Thank you for sharing. Any stories about the ant people ive heard put all that sand there? So much knowledge that I would like to hear about. There are supposed to be caves that sheltered people in the past somewhere? Or were they covered up when they were discovered by the pioneers? Just stuff I heard somewhere.

    I feel America will always be troubled until it is rightfully back in the hands of the Native. Whether that means a Native American president or just the people returning to their natural place and glory. This land is there’s, and we aren’t abiding by their teachings and respecting nature.

      Blanca Peak is just north of ft. Garland, CO. Great sand dunes national park is north of Blanca, about half way from ft. Garland to Alamosa, west of ft. Garland. Ft. Garland is near south border of CO. Just no. of Taos & Amgel Fire NM. Alamosa is no. of Santa Fe, NM. I'm not sure this location of story tef. But I've been there. Sounds like perfect match. Yeah te hee!

    • @forcesightknight
      @forcesightknight 3 года назад +2

      TBH, I think this is either the lake west of the dunes, or in the actual mountains that feeds the creek from the East and North slopes. I would call the parks department and ask them the best places to visit are, some may be blooming with flowers, others may be just dead and hot. Good luck.

    Four worlds to come to One...Think of these other worlds as parallel dimensions; to the one that we usually consider as 'reality'...
    Navajo Holy people & Brujo's can connect to these other 'dimensions', or worlds through 'portals' which manifest in all worlds (including parallel dimensions); not just Navajo, but other native peoples have understood this for eons..
    At one time; these worlds were thought to be illusory at best; but particle theory string physics proves this primitive scientific assumption to be another untruth held among academic physicists of the past....In fact; the the latest understanding is that these parallel dimensions & portals are much more numerous in our galaxy than the numbers of star's; giving advanced extra terrestrial biological entities the abilities to manipulate both time & space for the exploration of worlds other than their own....The ability to transcend the time/ space continuum .
    All it takes is the technology or organic understanding to do so. To manifest one of these 'portals'.
    Actually often seen in Navajo country.
    Don't believe me? The evidence is here: ruclips.net/video/oMhIaLvlw1E/видео.html

      the shot passes through Mt Taylor and ends in Mt Blanca... the KT extinction event was an act of war... the end of the straw or reed is probably Tohatchi.. at the highest point.. Navajo word friend Noonie tells me... To Hatch i.... the escape hatch
