Towards the end of the 19th century, the Apache tribe were running away from the Mexican and American armies. They used to be one of the most feared tribes in North America, but while the fear for them dissipated, they still fought with as much strength.
This woman was photographed wearing the traditional Apache clothing, which included buck skin with beads adorned all over it. The purpose of the photo is unknown, but this is a window into history.

Sacheen Littlefeather, the Native American of Apache and Yaqui origin known for declining the Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando, has passed away 2 days ago at the age of 75. Her death was announced yesterday, the cause of death not being disclosed, however cancer is the suspected cause as Sacheen did make a Facebook post in January of last year saying she had breast cancer. After declining the Oscar, Sacheen was met with an applause from one part of the crowd, and booing from the other. For the mistreatment of her and her people by the film industry, the former Academy president David Rubin apologized in a letter, saying: “The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration.” She was also featured as a speaker in an Academy event in LA a month ago.

We were told we would see America come and go. In a sense, America dies from the inside out, because they have forgotten the instructions to live on Mother Earth. This is the Hopi creed, it is our creed, that if you are not spiritually connected to the Earth, and you don't understand the spiritual reality of life on Earth, chances are you are not going to make it.
Everything is spiritual, everything has one
Spirit.
We are here on Earth only a few winters, then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than most of us realize.
The spirit world is everything. Most of our body is water. To stay healthy you need to drink pure water. Water is sacred, air is sacred. Our DNA is made from the same DNA as the tree, the tree breathes what we breathe out, we need what the tree expires. So we have a common fate with the tree. We are all of the Earth, and when the Earth and its water and atmosphere are corrupted, then the Earth will create her reaction. The Mother reacts.
In the Hopi prophecy it says that storms and floods will get bigger.
For me it is not negative to know that there will be big changes. It's not negative, it's evolution. When you look at it as an Evolution, you know it's time, nothing stays the same. You should learn to plant something. This is the first connection. You should look at all things as Spirit, realize that we are family. It never ends. Everything is life and there is no end to life.
