SunHawk hides many Secrets

He Moves Tribe of RedSun/SunHawk to Riverside

For some reason the girls enjoyed sharing the duel family classification, they created and told people we were our own tribe of Red Sun/SunHawk, because we always care for and accepted all strays. They enjoyed answering the telephone: Hello, the tribe of Red Sun and SunHawk, we are a tribe unto our own, how can we help you.

Well, this is the fourth year and many side journeys required our attention and countless delays, blocking our trip to Greasy Grass Sundance. Many season and many cycles, new awareness, strengthening of spirit that only added to our life adventures, nevertheless these journeys had taken us on many trip of adventure and learning. Lodge completed, prepared for the journey, the only thing I had to do, head over to Big Bear's Trading Post, pack the lodge, and poles, in the car and return home to complete our packing.

I suspected trouble, but not set-up, for a strange staged auto accident. Three-days after I saw the Golden Owl, which I had seen a couple of other times, covered in feathers of gold, and his entire chest feathers were white gold inlayed with countless types of jewels. Nevertheless, every time I saw the Golden Owl, there was serious trouble on the horizon, but he made sure it worked out with lives spared for he protected us from evil. Once the owl disappeared, I first heard song of a wolf, looked out the window to see a white wolf in the north, singing his warning song, while facing north. My car received the type of T-bone blow, people commonly call wipeout, and needed repairs. At first, I thought the injuries were only slight, which developed a twist, the accident confined me to a wheelchair for a while due to a back injury, which some how twisted and pressed on my spinal cord.

          We still had hopes of putting things back together, so we could attend the Sundance, but others persons of person had different plans. After we told certain people, we had plans to attend the Sundance; we had received our second warning. I answered the phone to a rough mercenary sounding voice that asks for SunHawk. "This time Red Sun was only injured, we thought they would have been enough of a warning to stop your plans, but if you leave to go to the Sundance, neither of you will make it to the Sundance except in spirit nor live to watch your children, grow-up. We mean what we say Red Sun and you are not to leave California or you will die."

Then next couple of weeks, they wanted to impress on us they were serious, we had strangers coming around, leaving packages with notes in front of our only door, in and out of the house. They wanted to lets us know they could get to, any of us, when they wanted. Not knowing who or why they were coming around, each time they did my anger got stronger, and I wanted to stop, those who dare to invade my space. SunHawk's behavior had gone from relaxed, to guarded, and extremely caution in body language and behavior.

We had one big problem where we lived if I shot at someone the bullet might miss them, and kill one of our innocent neighbors. It was only two-an-half male shoulders width, between houses. Even close quarters for a couple holding hands to make it through without injuring shoulders. Two people walking in opposite directions, learned to turn sideways, so not to cause injuries.

          SunHawk noticed my anger and knew I could go off, but also was concerned about telling me the truth, went to the place he loved to meditate and receive answers. The places where surf meets sand, a place that has the ability to comfort ones spirit and mined, when one senses and hears the wind, water, and waves crashing on the sand in sounds of harmony. Fishing for answers, his personal mediation, filled with many fish tales, and letting the mind relax and receive. These seeking answers times he always came home with the one that got away, and every fish tale adventures, seemed to get bigger and bigger during these fishing trips. This time he had been gone for more than twenty hours, with pole in hand, line in water, and bite, questionable. I learned why he failed to catch, and why he returned with the one that got away fisherman fishy tales; which I heard a lot of growing up in the hills of Kentucky.

When he returned home, he looked stressed, and anxious even after a good nap, at the dinner table after we had finished eating, SunHawk stand up and informs his family, it was time for us to move, out of Redondo Beach, get away from the area, in fact he thought it was best if we moved to Riverside. Not my choice, but he wanted to be some place; we could have a few of Marines we knew from Camp Pendleton, move in, and our youngest daughter was dating a Marine from Camp Pendleton. He wanted to have bodies and support, around the place at night, while he worked. SunHawk's behavior seemed strange, when he became from protective and concerned about my movements. He was a poker dealer with a long drive to the City of Industry troubled me. Conditions got worse, and without any explanation, of why, but we received a warning we could not be seen together, if SunHawk wanted to keep his job and me alive. However, it was going to be another couple of years before I learned the reason why and Nikkei took on a more valuable role for this family.

Chapter 6

Once I completed the Spirit-Bird of Grandfather EagleHawk people began to request healing ceremonies in the lodge.

Tells how the body of Red Sun becomes a test site for a sacred Apache Style alter

Lodge Open for Ceremonies

What was Unexpected

Body Open for Spiritual Testing

After I had completed the two of the three main guardians on the lodge, before the flute incident, a few friends thought it would be wise and felt it necessary, considering friends were ill and in need of healing ceremonies in the lodge, since friends needed healings. Then SunHawk was could also benefit from the ceremonies, he was still healing from open-heart surgery and his energy was low, with a couple of season, before time to go to the Sundance at Greasy Grass. The urge to go to the Sundance continued to grow stronger sill, along with unique introductions to new insight, awareness, which increases knowledge and motivates one to accept life's challenges to learn more.

          Yes, guardians, teach spiritual wisdom, sciences, and physics, linked to sacred spiritual theology, traditional values, medicine, and culture awareness involvement, means many lessons won't allow you to pass, until you pass the each stair platform built on one-by-three-by-four staircases of learning. Each one overlaps several others that links and awakens lessons. Welcome to the spiritual universe, taking each one to higher levels of comprehension on a vast stairway. Greetings from your new life adventures of experiences, assure lessons left no room for one dull moment. One such lesson taught me not to ask "What's next?". . . "It can't get worse . . . or saying, "I am Bored"

          This set of healing ceremonies became nothing less than mucho lessons, Apache Style with serious connections to Earth Mother. First, be had to blessing the lodge, since we put it for healing ceremonies. Second, surround the lodge circumference with stones inside and out. Third, create a fire pit inside the lodge, and place two-layers of stones around the fire pit's outer circumference. Fourth: Bring in the sacred woods for the various ceremonies, which we spent two-weeks gathering. Five: Prep the fire and sing the invitational songs, while waiting for those who asked for a healing to enter the lodge.

          The ceremonies began early evening and took a good portion of the night before we were, ready to relax around dawn, when I received a visit and out I went. I was visiting with relations, speaking in Apache and receiving information from sacred elders. When I returned from my out of body journey, SunHawk informed said I had been gone for over an hour.

The time did not matter, but what happened that I became all marked up, with coals in my hands, hot shell with hot flaming coals, charcoal marks on my arm, knife marks, and porcupine needles in my flesh, wrist, feet, and ankles. The hot coals in my hands had burnt out and the one on my forehead had burnt out. No burn marks on my hands, forehead, feet, and stomach; no appearance of bleeding or actual cuts, nor did I feel any of the porcupine needles inserted deep in my flesh.

Remember, I said Apache Style, my friends who was an Apache Warrior Woman, put me through the test to make sure, I was out, and the voices of the elders, came from the sacred elders and not my subconscious. I am glad I was gone because some where along the way that would have been painful. I realize when one is with spirit one does not experience assaults to one physical; it is a state of higher energy, vibrating ones material and physical, at a much higher rate, above layers of existence.

What an interesting dawn awakening, inasmuch as, SunHawk watched the entire event take place, but said nothing, only smiled, and pleased I had past all the tests Apache Style. You know I am not too sure he did not make some Sioux Style suggestions for tests, along those lines. SunHawk's impossible to stay mad at or even get upset with, other half, when he displayed his crazy Alice in Wonderland, Cheshire cat smile.

Some almost twenty-one years of our sacred union and his smile still melted me. Looking at SunHawk, he fit the description of Crazy Horse, no different in appearance, except SunHawk's hair was straight not curly, with quality intelligence, and the smile of his had me from day one. Yes, we had some interesting life adventures together, shared dangers, experiences, a lot of laughs, smiles, communications, and special companionship. This was just one more of our unique adventures together, which allowed us to know another little secret piece of each other. I don't care how long a couple is together, there is always another little part of ones mate, which comes along and makes life interesting.

SunHawk took great pleasure in telling everyone we knew about his woman, the sacred alter and the events that happened, minus the healing ceremony. Then many people outside the lodge knew about the healing ceremonies that took place inside, but most had already left, before I became the test site and sacred alter.

Somebody was aware of our primary plan. Some place between the spirit-bird, our lodge going up, the ceremonies, and Red Sun the test site. It is hard to say how many ceremonies we used the lodge for and how many people, want to sleep in the lodge without our permission or knowledge. Because of the various conditions, we had to announce our plans to go to Greasy Grass Sundance. Meaning a good portion of the Indian community were aware of our trip plans along with when we would be picking up the lodge, and heading out to Montana.

Chapter 4

What I am doing NOW opening introduction you to some to the various events in my life's sacred journey, combined with the teachings/messages received and experiences from our Sacred Earth Mother by taking snapshots of an entire life journey of awakening to truth in environmental lessons . . . very important concepts to reveal to humanity . . . on this continuation towards new awareness journey.

None Know what the Entire Message is Until ones Journey is completed

So Who Is in Control?

> 

Grandfather EagleHawk … Who was our controller? Who? 

Nevertheless, bantering continued for several years until the unexpected day when the Sacred Spirit-bird became more than an inanimate graphic, mental thought-form, or whatever series of overlay of pictures on our tipi. Grandfather EagleHawk, life force energy, yes; sacred guardian spirit, yes; spiritual being, yes; physical life form, yes. One who has the ability to walks among spiritual and material realms at will, YES. Grandfather EagleHawk, one might perceive him, one of the Highest of Highest Guardians. The way all of Mother Nature's children; from the smallest, to the biggest, from the deadliest, to the most powerful, bow before Grandfather EagleHawk, to offer their purist of love, respect, and honor, within them to offer.

The children of the mountain would bow in a very respectful manner with their heads and eyes lowered to the ground and remained in that position until he left. Now that I have you curiosity going, it is only the beginning to many roads of adventure choreographed by Grandfather EagleHawk, guardians, and others guides/teachers, quest to merge Red Sun within adventures activities to ensure, we travel together and learn the oneness of wondrous lessons. Welcome tradition of spirit to spiritual oneness with Earth Mother, Mother Nature, Mother Quantum Physics, and Spiritual Physics.

Acceptance of Greasy Grass Sundance was the contact of agreement and acceptance of returning to traditional heritage. Ordering our lodge was our symbolic commitment to follow their guidance to advance learning at the College of Higher Powers Sacred Sciences. College Courses required classes in Tradition; Culture; Spiritual Science; Sacred Medicine; Quantum Physics; Tradition Values; and Environment; just to cover a few of courses required for advancement of primary objective/assignments, life guidance objectives; and prime directive.

College Professors: Sacred Grandfather EagleHawk, Sacred White Buffalo, Wolves, Sacred Guardians, Guardian Mother of Nature, and Earth Mother, along with one other unseen connection, Sacred Mother Yellowstone the Autocatalysis Influence Professor of Ancient Wisdom. Our sacred life circle reaches all the way back to Sacred Mother Yellowstone, the Eagles, Hawks, White Buffalo, Grizzly Bears, and Wolves, and the oldest member Sacred White Eagle of Light Eternal.

Growing up with Nikkei, our wolfish teacher was an interesting adventure, considering from day one we were her family, meaning in her mind, we belonged to her and that meant we could not be her teacher. Then she had a great elder teacher, from the minute she entered our house and let go of my neck. Hap-Hap, Norwegian wolf dog, more wolf personality, than dog, he kissed her and became she was his shadow, until the moment he crossed. Hap-Hap, informed me several months earlier, he wanted someone he could train, and since his time with us was, short he request someone he could train. Maybe he was the one that gave her the idea she was the family guardian and we belonged to her.

Secret agent dog, undercover, who was born on the 4^th of July, a highly spiritual being that trained himself to be the family's bodyguard, with an inborn talent to read energy fields of intent and one top-notch bodyguard. He could sense when a person was on drugs, holding, or sense shipments of drugs and weapons on board ships over two miles out at sea, with full run of the harbor and docks.

I have only witnessed a few hybrids that could observe training tape and absorb the entire subject matter. He studied behavior patterns; he knew drugs, weapons, bombs, and many others substances. What he didn't learn from training films, TV or movies, he learned from other patrol dogs, family friends, winged-ones, dolphins, and what to look for and take action to take. Only dog, I know  the theater owner allowed inside and the health board, looked the other way. He stopped drugs, guns, and trouble for entering the theater. He was happy when he could stay with his charges, so he can protect them, and know they were safe. He had to sit in the back of the theater, with theater security. He used his observation knack to determine his reaction, but some of the things he learned amazed all of us.

He saved more lives than, no one believed possible, under unique scenarios, they believed he was psychic with the power of observation, empowered him to recognize things humans cannot recognized. What a way to win friends, and stand out among the many . . . we had been invited to spent the summer on a boat in the harbor. The first night, trying to get on-board the boat, it took us twenty minutes to get Hap-Hap, to agree to get on board the boat. We crawled in bed to sleep, when Hap realized someone was dying from a heart attack, three-boats away, no one on either side of him heard anything, but Hap-Hap did, released his fear, raced over to man's and got on board the boat. The man was unconscious, Hap could not get the door open, so he set up a howl, at was hear all over Harbor? Harbor Patrol raced to stop the noise around 0130 hours. If it had not been for Hap-Hap, the man would have been dead, in less than twenty-minutes and no one would have found him, for several hours.

The list is long, so the minute Nikkei came in the house he started training Nikkei to take his place of twelve years of in less than three months. How many dogs do you know that could bring out the best in children and other four-legged children, as well? Before Hap-Hap crossed, he took her around the neighborhood and introduced her to some of the meanest attack and junkyard dogs around, whom he had made friends with, since Hap and Nikkei were the only dogs allowed around, who didn't end-up chewed up. From them she learned the lessons of protection and the secrets of friendship.

He introduced her to the local Bobcat, who was the father of the two hybrid-cats, we accepted in our home when they were less than twenty-four hours old. Interest, how we came to know the bobcat, in our three-story house, we left the windows and doors open during warm weather; Hap-Hap was the one that invited the bobcat to come and visit him after we went to bed, and the bobcat got use to sleeping in the house on cushions with Hap-Hap. During our cold and rainy season, he slept under the house, but when the windows were open Hap-Hap and the Bobcat slept together, upstairs in our front room, at night. One of the other special qualities Hap-Hap possessed, he loved to bring home strays that needed to find their way back home or a new family.

He taught Nikkei a lot before he crossed, his friends became her support group, and teacher, to fight, protect the girls and family, to hunt, analysis people and be a wolf, dog, bobcat, personality and behavior. She learned to jump like the bobcat and balance herself along fences line, plan her attack and fight bobcat style.

Before Nikkei and the bobcat, we had a large South American parrot fly into StillsWater's car, around sundown when she was leaving work to come home, he rode in her car all the way home, with the window down. When she got out of her car, he hopped on her shoulder, stayed there until she got in the house. He saw me, flew over, landed on my shoulder, and did not want to get off. We had a big cage in the garage, and set it up for Sundowner. Sundowner would follow me all around the house when he was out of his cage, which was most of the time during the day, since he got upset when he could not see me. Sundowner came in soon after we ordered the lodge and around the time of the buffalo skull.

Before we received the lodge and completed the lodge paintings, Nikkei, taught herself to sit at the dinner table, and enjoy her meals with us. Delicate, female behavior, without putting her paws on the table, making a mess on the table or floor, she eat off her own plate, and continued to sit at the table waiting for the family to finish eating and sharing family time, before she got down.

When we had company over for dinner, she requested her small treat and supper bowl, and sit in front of each person, with a plate of food, in hand, until they put something in her bowl. She would do this until she made it around to everyone with a plate and wait for the others filling their plates, to join the group, and stand in front of them. In the sacred ways of honoring the elders, one should always share and offer the first bit of each item ones put on their plate.

Nikkei made sure they did what they should do, when it came to giving thanks to ones elders, and Nikkei made sure they shared food off their plates, and would not let them eat until they did. Once everyone shared with Nikkei, then she would relax and find some place within our circle, inside the circle or outside the circle, but within the circle to join us in our gathering. What everyone appreciated and thought interesting, how she would bow in a manner of respect and prayer, before placing her bowl down in front of her. She appeared to pray over her food, before Nikkei the wolf-woman stretched out down on the floor, and in very delicate manner, she would individually eat, what each one gave her.

Once she finished, she would only carry her bowl for seconds, if they called Nikkei to bring her bowl. She wanted to join us for whatever meal we sat down to eat, and/or serving guest. Yet, she behaved more along the lines of a guardian spirit in fur, than a four-legged learning to be human, which might have been another reason, we were her family, instead of a four-legged child within a family member.

Once again, our life gained significance combinations of unique situations towards spiritual journeys of advancement, filled with awareness adventure, with no idea of how much more to come. Who would guess a Northern California wolf/dog, has a major pivotal position, developing spiritual awareness, and guiding us to honor our sacred union with Grandfather EagleHawk? Nikkei an important key factor for the assurance all things moved us in the direction Sacred Ones decreed. I ask who is in charge now because many times our journeys have factors we neither question or would beleive we are being directed in the slightest of ways.

 These words of truth have been the hardest truths to wrting, because of the Sacredness of this day It was a very very powerful and spiritual pivot point day of events in the life history of anyone. The day of crossing and passing sacred medicine gifts.

Monumental Day . . . Sacred Elders . . . delivers Great Gifts and this was no vision, but a visit

The day when the Highest of the Highest Council of Chiefs and Elders speak to Red Sun

"> 

Four months plus a few weeks of gathering materials, planning, outlining, and painting all the details surrounding Grandfather EagleHawk and all of his details. Time to take a break and plan the buffalo and the two other designs on our lodge, however, after company all weekend I decided to clean the house. Plans were to clean the living room first, then head downstairs, and then clean the kitchen, as least today, before the rest of our three-story house. Because I was home alone, I stopped and locked the door at the bottom of the stairs, which was twelve stairs up from the door inside and twelve stairs up from the out side, to the door leading into the house and kitchen. The living was bright and open with windows in the north and west at the top of the stairs, along with one oversize glass door in the south.

          No more than ten minutes into cleaning, I sensed an urgent call from sacred elders summonsing my spirit for a meeting, which meant lie down or hit the floor. No sooner, on the couch, then I experience changes of environments and location. Landing in front of the sacred fire and Grandfather, who motioned for me to come and sit beside him this time instead of across from him? His outfit reflects a brilliance of clear, pure white buckskins, with years of quillwork and beading and wearing as normal his traditional eagle feather medicine bonnet.

"My granddaughter, I have called you to join me before this sacred fire; it is time I explain the meaning of the sacred fire to you and what it means to the life of the people." He explained the Sacred Fire importance, combined with the important of the one appointed the Keeper of the Sacred Fire. "Now granddaughter, It is time I pass the sacred fire over to you, along with all that accompanies it; the rights; duties, responsibilities, heartaches and even all the headache. Granddaughter, I have to go and now it is your responsibility to protect the people. Remember - never let the fire go out - and always keep it burning high within you and the Nation@.

"My dear man, it is urgent we go now. Say what you have to say quickly" My grandmother had crossed long before him, I saw in her looking a beautiful, gently soft spirit, eighteen years young in appearance. Shiny long black hair, wearing a pure white buckskin dress, which appeared the color of heavens white cloud, standing on the crystal blue path, leading across the mountain, lined with tall evergreen trees." Sweetheart, we have to leave soon, the transition vortex will not remain open for much longer."

He had transferred his power to me, and all the duties and responsibilities that when along with it. Then he stood and walked up to the path, touched her hand and the touch transformed him into his younger self. Spirit speaks very softly to Grandfather, "I don't understand, why me, I am lost from the people"

"Granddaughter, you will in time." It is time for me to go now, but you will understand in time what it all means. He turned to the person standing behind him and they left together, and spirit recovers on the couch in the living room returned back to my living room. 

They journeyed up the same crystal blue path; grandfather and I visited with each other standing on during our first spirit walk visit, together, which, grandmother arranged, for our meeting each other after her crossing. I remember, behind grandfather, his sacred animal guardian: one huge white grizzly bear, always on his hind legs, standing tall, and the way they moved in unison, together. I thought it was strange; when I did not to see the bear . . . a knock on the front door. Good thing I locked it.

"The door is locked," I shouted out, to acknowledge their presence, "I'll be right there." Before starting down the stairs, I looked out the window, along the walkway to the door and no one. Before I could move even one-step, I heard the three locks on the door, unlock. What the . . . , I started to race to the door to stop hostiles from entering. Only to experience the unexpected, and what happened once the door opened . . . Reality's truth it hard to understand, until it happens . . . the grandeur and what one might do. . . no what one could or would do, if and when it happens.

Grandfather hand-in-hand departed with Grandmother; I just returned to conscious awareness, and the unexpected, occurs, no one visible out, yet locked unlocked, and sacred life, advances inside my house, in bright day light. They unlock the locks, open the door wide, and four-recognized, but unseen elders of the Highest of the Highest Sacred Council of Chiefs and Elders, and enter with gifts.

The four-sacred members who visited could have only come after they received sacred honors, to deliver the sacred medicine gifts, which caused me to wonder if the sacred spiritual medicine gifts belong to grandfather. Knowing what I knew about the Sacred Council and transference of power requires much more, beyond the living or dying saying the words: Here I pass my sacred medicine power  along with my by medicine bundles. Truth, elders told me, it takes the Highest of the Highest, along with Sacred Council of Chiefs and Elders, responsibility to approve the transference of sacred medicine gifts and knowledge, to insure the right person uses their knowledge to protect the people. That is why when Grandfather told me he was passing, his Sacred Spiritual Medicine Gifts to me I got confused.

Their appearance froze me in absolute amazement awe. Increases awareness of spiritual physics, enhances awareness of sacred material and spiritual abilities, couple with the Sacred Guardians unique and massive abilities. Awe inspires, desire to understand, drops me on the eighth stair down from the top to watch and listen. Eyes wide open, mouth wide, at this unique . . . what . . . wow, I am in the presence of the most honored council members, why are they brining these items here. Who are the ones that came to deliver actual sacred symbolic items of power, yes; this means added responsibilities. I can see the truth of passing spiritual power and that it given by the Highest of High Council members after comprehensive analysis and review; they must be here for SunHawk. This that is before me is not imagination and now I see volumes of truths, spiritual power's influence, infused in objects. Spiritual physics infused in symbols, can actually generate environment, on all levels not just spiritual life, in full real-time living color.

Before me, pure in color, filled with radiant sacred spiritual energy of eternal light of life environments, along with spiritual essence of life eternal, reveals sacred reality relationship to translucent 3-D holographics, true shapes and forms. What a display of when the Sacred Father decrees, so shall it be, as above so below or is It as below so above? Even inanimate objects absorb influences of sacred spiritual qualities, along with energies abilities, are a few of the many attributes this appears to address. Yes, in some ways, it seems this Red Sun can be thickheaded, to comprehend significant gifts abilities, the Sacred Ones enjoy the how-to knowledge of universal accomplishments, they enjoy inspiring sacred with universal/spiritual physics. What decree sent them here to impart sacred universal . . . what?  Numb, humble, amazed, and drop to your knees in honor.

What had me captivated, filled with awe-surprised amazement, and on the verge happy tears, adding a library of knowledge, increase insight spirit-heart awareness with the acceptance of . . . after introduction of. . . giving my pledge to. . . all presence, after ingesting observation. . . . Medicine Shield, Bow, Quiver filled with Arrows, enters together, by two sacred elders. The Medicine Shield, carried in by two, one enter with the Bow, in one-hand, and the Medicine Shield in the other hand. The other enters with the Medicine Shield and Quiver with Arrows in opposite hands. Once they stopped, they moved the Sacred Medicine Bow and Quiver with Arrows above the Sacred Medicine Shield. Once in place, two more individuals enter with a Sacred Medicine Lance, followed by the Sacred Medicine Spear, each one in the order stated. Curios, I wonder Is this what grandfather meant?

"Granddaughter, this you see before you, has been declared yours; you are to receive the sacred powers and knowledge of these medicine items. Highest of the Highest, the High Council of Sacred Chiefs, Medicine Elders and Great Spirit, wants the spiritual medicine powers presented to you. There is one with a dark-heart, who placed his hand on the all medicine items, he wants to claim the sacred medicine power, along with title and position. The one with the dark heart cares nothing for the people. The evil in his heart will harm the people and sell the people out for his own personal profits and distort and destroy their spirits, too. You are to come home and claim the shield and all that goes with it. Do you accept the responsibilities and duties to the people? "YES"

Grandfather speaks and I was shocked to hear him. Grandfather, I thought you crossed over with Grandmother, are these medicine items. These are my gift to you the Sacred Medicine items belong to the one that will not sell the people out and that is yours. Now look at the medicine shield:

·         Do you recognize the Sacred Eagles and Hawks wing-tip feathers on each side? Do not add any feathers higher than the horizon point, but you can add more wing-tip feathers of eagles and hawks, below the horizon. Know the feathers also represent your spirit guides and guardians. 

·         On the bottom are the tails of the four-legged friends that help our people, some of the tails Grandfather placed on the shield.

·         Know my sacred guardian animals, spirit guides, and protectors are crossing with me. Red Sun, you are to add own sacred guardian animal to the shield, too.

·         Look at the top of the shield, you see the sun is neither sunrise, nor sunset, but represents both.

·         The (crescent) moon is neither the full moon, nor the new moon - but it represents both and all.

·         The star is neither the first star of the night, nor the last star of morning - but it represents both.

·         The mountains of the sun, you will learn of later (they are from which you came).

·         The water flows forth from the sun, between the mountains, into the valley giving life to all that it touches and towards the west, for the journey of renewal.

·         The water blue represents the lifeblood of our sacred earth mother, blessings to the people, and the path we walk throughout life.

·         Look again at the shield you see, it represents the circle of life. 

·         The renewal of life - the first breath of man/woman to his/her last.

·         From the shield my Spirit Guardians - have crossed over with me.

·         ON the shield, the sacred spirit-bird, Grandfather EagleHawk sitting pipestone

·         Close the beginning of ones life journey, I see a very huge Tall Walking Standing White Bear.

·         On the shield is the symbolic representation to sacred fire of eternal light & life, the way we honor and respect the sacred flame that represents our respect and sacred love, eternal.

·         There was more to the shield, but not all things can be put in writing or spoke of except among sacred medicine elders.

"Red Sun, we ask do you accept the duties and responsibilities of the Sacred Medicine you see before you today?"

          "Yes, I accept the duties and responsibilities of all the Sacred Medicine items and my duties to the people."

          "Red Sun, knows as go a Chief so goes a nation. Greed and selfishness with bleed over the people and in time destroy the lives of the nation, for they too will become selfish and destructive. Remember, this truth, to accept some items means you owe the people respect and wisdom. Most people when they get into office they see is as power and position, not duties and responsibility to the people.

          One other thing to remember, good leaders do what is good for the whole, not just for a few. All too often, they do things that will benefit and profit family and friends, while they are doing great harm to the masses.

          Do you promise to keep the interest of the people first and do what is good for the whole of the masses, and then all will prosper."

Nevertheless, bantering continued for several years until the unexpected day when the Sacred Spirit-bird became more than an inanimate graphic, mental thought-form, or whatever series of overlay of pictures on our tipi. Grandfather EagleHawk, life force energy, yes; sacred guardian spirit, yes; spiritual being, yes; physical life form, yes. One who has the ability to walks among spiritual and material realms at will, YES. Grandfather EagleHawk, one might perceive him, one of the Highest of Highest Guardians. The way all of Mother Nature's children; from the smallest, to the biggest, from the deadliest, to the most powerful, bow before Grandfather EagleHawk, to offer their purist of love, respect, and honor, within them to offer.

The children of the mountain would bow in a very respectful manner with their heads and eyes lowered to the ground and remained in that position until he left. Now that I have you curiosity going, it is only the beginning to many roads of adventure choreographed by Grandfather EagleHawk, guardians, and others guides/teachers, quest to merge Red Sun within adventures activities to ensure, we travel together and learn the oneness of wondrous lessons. Welcome tradition of spirit to spiritual oneness with Earth Mother, Mother Nature, Mother Quantum Physics, and Spiritual Physics.

Acceptance of Greasy Grass Sundance was the contact of agreement and acceptance of returning to traditional heritage. Ordering our lodge was our symbolic commitment to follow their guidance to advance learning at the College of Higher Powers Sacred Sciences. College Courses required classes in Tradition; Culture; Spiritual Science; Sacred Medicine; Quantum Physics; Tradition Values; and Environment; just to cover a few of courses required for advancement of primary objective/assignments, life guidance objectives; and prime directive.

College Professors: Sacred Grandfather EagleHawk, Sacred White Buffalo, Wolves, Sacred Guardians, Guardian Mother of Nature, and Earth Mother, along with one other unseen connection, Sacred Mother Yellowstone the Autocatalysis Influence Professor of Ancient Wisdom. Our sacred life circle reaches all the way back to Sacred Mother Yellowstone, the Eagles, Hawks, White Buffalo, Grizzly Bears, and Wolves, and the oldest member Sacred White Eagle of Light Eternal.

(This is the first ten pages of fifty-five) We need to learn to listen as the animals listen or we will soon destory our earth and world that is what these forty-pages I present to you in brief, but you should get the concepts of what I the sacred ones when they set me on these adventures.

Grandfather EagleHawk the Sacred Spirit Bird

December 1980: We ordered a lodge, because we sensed it was necessary for SunHawk to return home after so many years of deep cover operations, his family received information he had been MIA and assumed dead, which meant he was never able to go home. In truth the only way, he could see his family, if they were at the Sundance. We had spent several years planning for SunHawk to attend the Greasy Grass Sundance in hopes of seeing some of his relations. From the time we ordered for our lodge and it arrive twenty-two new moons and twelve days, had past; which was ten-new-moons land twelve days than promised.

Spirit voices on the winds, whispers in my ears, mind viewing pictures, and numerous summonses on spirit journeys. Indirect and ambiguous, interactive visions, seldom direct, composed of random details, quick sensory directives, each held its own importance, to life. However, it was not until the hour one arrives at the vision/directive junction, the why is presented. If one only goes from one adventure to another and journeys cross or interconnect, and visions still wait for clarity, and strong awareness and insight is not forth coming, then do not try to make sense of anything, since you are on a multi-adventure journey. Plain language ones should never assume the value of life journeys, until you complete an unstated number of journeys beyond what you four-times assume valuable and of spiritual importance.

Primary objective from our guardians, to visit with relations, is how this adventure began. Destination Montana they wanted us to attend the Sundance at Greasy Grass, which required a lodge for the visit and journey. The lodge became the pivoted point of countless autocatalytic adventures and advancements, in relationship to our total environment. Who would imagine ordering of a lodge would create such an amazing unique platform of spiritual activation? Coupled with complex and critical intuitiveness, strengthening spiritual awareness, introduction to new adventures, progressive spirit walks, interactive visitation visions, visions, guardian guidance took us on many journeys.

Once we ordered the lodge, I received new series of unique visions:

First vision on the first night: I observe a yellow buffalo twice the size of any known bison or buffalo, smiling at me. Second night vision: a black buffalo advances out of a bright white light, to stand beside the yellow buffalo, and he stood twice the size of the yellow. Third night, third vision: enters a beautiful Red Buffalo taking his position between the yellow and black buffalo, she appeared triple the size of the black buffalo. Fourth night, fourth vision was a fourth night delivered a surprise: Sacred Guardian Mother Buffalo, pure spiritual white, with her head, twice the size the head, of the Red Buffalo.

Then eyes blinked, the four stand stood tight together, aligned each in respective four-directions positioned, and then I noticed something obscure behind them. Curios mind silently wondered what and why. We have a gift for you, which for more 15 years of your life; we planned, positioned, choreographed, educated, encouraged, and sacrificed, one sacred buffalo for Red Sun.

They each moved forward in their respective directions, I observed four Sacred Grandfathers encircling a Buffalo Skull. Then spirit-mind flashes on and relives a 3-D interactive, physical experience, at least a month prior. It began with me sitting on my bed, spirit summons, and I join them in a meditative state. Then a nose nuzzled me in my back shoved me forward, flash impression recalled, white buffalo calf at Yellowstone, but too big. Spirit-heart of mind turns into the face of a Sacred White Buffalo, not just any white buffalo, the Sacred White Buffalo transmits sacred spiritual love, and thoughts there was a gift she has prepared. . . .Now she is here today again with the other three and in their sacred circle I see a buffalo skull that seem to represent the spirit of the Sacred Four.

Strange, I must question why now, what does this mean and where is the gift she/they have for me. The first of these visits, I never saw the gift, except her fading out and leaving me in the morning sky on a cloud, enjoying the gentle breezes coming in across the waters, while the slowly returns Red Sun to the water, inside her invisible room. The cloud departure allowed for the room dematerialization, and the room regains its inside environment. Now here I am around dawn in the sky above clouds and water, and embraced in . . . . maybe the same cloud?

A week lapsed, since I last thought about the four sacred buffalo visions; wisdom of training and years of experience, taught if one continually seek an answer regarding spiritual guidance, dreams or vision, creates the roadblock to enlightenment. Early dawn, in a meditative sleep state, my subconscious hear sea gulls, then one voice calls out Red Sun my daughter open your eyes. I failed to response, so several male voices joined together: Red Sun, Little Mother Red Sun, open your eyes.

Okay, who are the visitors, what is their reason for these eyes to open. I felt I was no longer in the room, where have they carried me. [SunHawk was use to my travels so if I was gone he never worried, and for this reason, they felt comfortable taking me on trips.] Realization of being . . . means Red Sun spirit-heart/mind is beyond or the rooms has dematerialized again. I opened my eyes to slightly, to discover, the four had summons me to a meeting on the clouds with gentle trade winds flowing across one.

The environment, I questioned not, because the spiritual voice and energy, of the sacred ones I have known and experience for several decades on important occasions. They have the ability to teach and interact, with ones total sensory awareness senses and communicative receptors. They are among the Highest of the Highest level of Guardians, gifted with sacred Universal spiritual physics abilities, to engulf, enfold, and awakens one to the sacred physics of the Universe, oneness. Experience, past, present, and future, one physical/spiritual senses, receive, observe, absorb, life, emotions, conditions and total environment, including joy and happiness..

The four sacred guardian elders, the same, I had observed within the sacred four buffalo mothers circle:

Welcome, Red Sun my child, we have come to tell you, on the Island of Catalina, we prepared for you a sacred buffalo. From seed, for spirit, to birth and even now, we prepare and guide its spiritual oneness of life for you. The skull we prepared for you and for no one else.

Focus your eyes in the direct of the clouds floating across the sky, look within the pictures, experience the thoughts, observe the faces, and symbols. On a cloud, living crystal-clear present and future experiences, in the sky, filed with instruction, of what you will accomplish. See the badges; observe the building signs, and offices of person you are to contact. Make is clear; your visions and the Sacred Father have made you aware of the skull. The skull we prepared for you and none other on the back part of the island.

Know this Red Sun, under no conditions can you back away until you receive approval of and full acceptance of your right to receive the skull. Observation of small phone sets with attached ears and faces: rings sounding off, in many directions, across and all around the chessboard. They do not want to accept my words and the skull remains on the island. Another truth, between the passing of clouds; I observed a chessboard of several layers, filled with many different style of phones, conversations between various levels of businesses, and personalities. You can see the condition you will have handle, it will require you to speak to them on numerous occasions, before they decide to check.

Tell them about you visions, you have to get them to go look. Each time make sure you tell them, we prepared for you the skull, and it is yours and yours alone. The real thinking of these you will speak with, be nice, and tell her what you think she will accept. Just keep up the telephone chesses, to get rid of her, and soon she will go away. So until they realize you/we are not going to back down, and they will not know of the skull, until they check for and give you the skull. 

Three times the vision repeats it telecast of the position of the skull on the back part of the island where the cliffs are steep. Next to a rock formation, of granite knuckles and smaller thumb, where the cliff of the island drops off steep into the ocean waters, your skull lies.

Red Sun, when they listen, they will recognize the exact area of the skull, in waiting by the way you describe the boulder, where your skull waits. (Three times each from different angles, they wanted to make sure I knew where the skull awaits, and on what part of the island reserve.) The truth and my visions depended upon my description of where the skull, awaited its journey with me.

Make sure you use your Tribal Name; they will not give it to anyone that hints at being other than red. Make sure you stress, you have received visions from us, tell them of the visions in the ways we have told you, it is important you explain the skull was born of the buffalo that is yours, and yours alone. You must make sure you tell them every thing we tell you to say. Red Sun, it is important you continue to push the issue and refuse to accept, any thing suggestive of . . . NO. If they say we don't have, it means they haven't checked, you have to push the issue and tell them where to look and impress on them you know it is there. Do not give up, know in time they will agree to look, and you will receive.

After I returned, and got the children off to school. Time to plan my strategy for making my phone calls, since the chessboards appeared to be a round table of phone calls, so I had to keep trace of all the people I spoke with and the excuses they gave me. In two days, I was not able to get any place, and I decided to wait until, Monday to make follow-up phone calls. When I failed to march to their drums, they got upset drum, and make phone calls the first three days of each week, since so many were only in their offices between Monday and Wednesday, except for one week out of the month. Meaning one week I would speak with one group of management, the following week, different personalities. Every six weeks I would speak with the first group of people, I originally spoke, had forgotten our conversation, and I would have to impress on them my needs, and receive more names and numbers to call.

Each time I was not aggressive enough, they would come around and express the urgency in my getting the skull. Thundering spirit drums are drums of thunder walking across the sky, when the Guardians want their instruction followed to the letter of the visions and instructions. Reality checks on behavior and their conditions, not that I can remember has they ever been so strong in their instructions, it was important I march to drums of thunder. I do mean thundering drums, which delivers, shake-up, wake-up, knock you around, loud strong thunder, with a force that blast into ones spirit. They made an impression of extreme seriousness; they were not going to accept any excuses or in Indian time, only action.

"Red Sun, Red Sun, you have to call again today. If you fail to make the proper impression, they will not pay attention to you. Make sure you let them know there is a skull, and the skull is yours and only yours alone. Truth the Sacred Father decree long before this buffalo's birth, the power of this buffalo spirit, was born to be with you. Who cares, if they think you crazy when you speak, when you speak truths, they will listen and come to believe the wisdom in your words.

State to them these words:

The Sacred Father, Sacred Council of Elders and Chiefs, Grandfathers and Grandmothers of the People, are pushing you to get that skull, it is important for you to have the skull, for the skull is a life force meant for your and none other. Tell them everything your visions and our visits imparted from the very beginning. Make it clear, YOU know the skull is laying on the island, you know it is part of your spirit and none other, and quickly ask what you have to do to get it. You will continue to call until they look and let you have what is yours, because if someone else gets it, great harm will come. More visions filled with new faces, who would believe, it takes so many people to get one buffalo skull.

What I observed was hard to believe, because of the numerous individuals, and when I satisfied the guardians, I counted twelve pages of college line paper filled with names, numbers, and short notes. Recalling the visions of phones to ears, all around the place, until, I reached the right person on Catalina Island. He had been away on another assignment for a few months. To strengthen my faith I continued to repeat the guardians' affirmation: Success will come with strong determination.

Gee, I made it sound easy and only took a few days, before I received permission to get the skull. Wrong assumption, phone calls began in May, but not until three weeks into October before I finally spoke with a knowledgeable Catalina Reserve Patrol Officer, and one who recognized the area, of my vision. He agreed to go out and check my vision out, and if he finds it or not he would call me back. The next morning, the reserve manager called me back and reported he found the skull, in the exact area where I said the skull I saw the skull. Then ask how much Indian are you? Because only time I have experienced this was with my grandfather, who was a full blood.

However, the things he said next I found interesting and realized he had listened: 

When I first got to the area and looked around, I could not find anything. Yet, I sensed I was in the right area and the skull was close. The way you described the area, I suspected something was there since you gave too many details, of an area that is off limits to anyone but reserve personal. I knew of the area, but never looked that close.

After learning from a number of people you have been dogmatic sure there was a skull here, I knew it was important to resolve the skull question. When I got there and could not see anything, for what reason, I am unsure, I called to the Buffalo: Buffalo Skull of Red Sun, hear me please, can you reveal your presence to me. Red Sun claims the Sacred Father told her you were here for her and I come to see, if you want to be with her, show me. A strong blast of wind blow me into the sage bush, four feet away, and there hidden within, we come face to face, the skull and I. Red Sun that incident convinced me the skull was meant for you and the Sacred Father decreed the skull belonged to you and you alone.

Now two questions, can you confirm you are of Native American Indian ancestry. The guardians' added protection when they hid the skull inside a large clump of sage bush, which had grown-up around the skull. The coloration and growth blocked intruders from stealing the skull.

"Yes, I am of Indian ancestry and so is my husband. When do you want us there? Tomorrow or when."

Can you come over to Catalina next Thursday; it seems several of the officials from the mainland will be here, too? He wants to see what you drove him into the ground over and approve your receipt of the skull, before you take it home. Many of us have learned a valuable lesson, about jumping to conclusion, as they did. They want me to apologize for their behavior towards you over the skull, coupled our assumption of no skulls on the island. Normally, we removed fallen buffalo from the island.

Thursday, was tens days away, but finally we took the twenty-six miles across the sea journey, twice to receive and return home. While we were on the sea, some place between Catalina and Long Beach, our close traditional friends decided to have a ceremony and feed the following day, to celebrate the arrival of the sacred buffalo skull, which had become part of all our lives. After everyone arrived, it was time to give the skull a bath. When we brought it home, and before ceremony, StillsWater, SunHawk, and I rubbed it down with cedar and sage and gave it our spiritual love.

Friday, a couple of Warrior Women and I gave the skull, a sacred blessing ceremony, before we gave the skull a good cleansing of physical debris, followed up with a spiritual cleansing and awakening. Then we brought is outside and we followed up blessing with a good rubdown of sage, cedar and mixture of herbs. SunHawk smudged it with Sweet Grass, and then blessed it with tobacco prayers. I cannot explain why, but I experienced an urge to pour blessed sage and cedar water over the skull, again.

Surprise: That is when we received the buffalo's secret, which radiated very strong on the forehead: Red, White, Yellow, and Black within a perfect circle, of green, and the four colors divided equally between a blue cross. Everyone was amazed to the see full radiant colors, appear when the sun touched it. I was amazed to see the same colors appear on the skull that appeared in my visions of the four sacred buffalo mothers.

Question: Who would have believed the truth, if no one witnessed the manifestation, there would only be four-family members to confirm the arrival of four-directional wheel. Nine-friends stood around with family, witnessing a symbolic design become visible on the forehead of the skull. The Sacred Father, the Sacred White Buffalo Mother, and Sacred Ones wanted everyone to know they confirm the sacred spiritual gifts of the skull; by the placement of the sacred four-directional wheel of life. Each in the correct and equal position, used by the tribes of the North, including the correct placement of colors, divided in four-equal north, east, south and west parts. The skull with the four-directional color presentation, they wanted paint on the lodge, too.

Suggestion to attend the Greasy Grass Sundance: required we order a lodge, after the lodge I receive instructs to bring home a buffalo skull from Catalina, the Sacred Ones prepared for me. Next, we gathered more sage and shared it with friends. We assumed life as usual until the lodge arrives, besides going to Oregano to get the lodge poles, prepare them, and wait for the lodge.

Wrong, never make assumption when it comes to a sacred journey of spiritual lessons, when the Sacred Father or Sacred Guardians. Third morning after the arrival of the skull, new visions begin to surface. They enjoy new addition to life directions and purpose, awareness advancements, creative spiritual awakenings, unexpected directions to daily, creative, interactive spiritual overpowering life directions. Believe me when I say overpowering, I mean overpowering mind, when they want something accomplished they can be pushy to the very edge of taking over total control of ones freewill and freedom of choice.

Now they invited us to accept tests of faith and honor, with no questions asked. Most of their tests require a major leap of faith, to accept whatever else the Highest of the Highest, included in his instructions, besides what he wants on our lodge. Once we obtained the skull and the sage was in the house, we could not think of anything, which might hold, great importance to the High Council of Elders. Elders called on Red Sun to join them on a series of long weighty trances, strong vision presentations, and spiritual journeys to meet the sacred eagle/hawk bird, held many different values.

Strong, to me means visions that become mentally overpowering, transporting one into different environments, in the course of introductions into weighty spiritual conditions via visions relating to life. Each one indicated the Spirit Bird, they had presented is must apply to our lodge. Maybe that was the reason each one was accompanied with a set of systematic instructions on how to spiritual art on a material object.

Each spirit- summons, trance-visions required twenty-minutes, daily. Sit-down when they summons or fall-down, during these spirit-visitation-trances, I would become involved with several sections of most do, here is how to, and the importance of why, one most add the Spirit-Bird adventure. Placing the spirit-bird on the lodge was only part to the information they included in the visions. Nevertheless, due to numerous events in the future their logic, the Sacred Elders concludes, one vision a day, not enough. In the morning, I would receive Spirit Bird visions and information before and after I enter the spirit-trance dealing our sacred union and the birth of the spirit bird in great 3-D motion life introduction to history.

Then late afternoon, before the girls return home from school, I received spirit-touch with instruction to rest on the footboard of our waterbed. The second journey began with thoughts, influenced by sacred symbolic communication from messengers, flash visions, and life concepts conditions, included timelines of spiritual history lessons. Yes, each vision give visual focuses, to life advancements, lifeline directions, certain connection to avoid, others road signs to new adventures, change of environments, sacred lessons, short previews of pivot point journeys, and dangers one could side step.

Spirit Bird vision previews one overly large, Sacred Spirit of two-spirit-birds joined in one, embrace, and bless by the Sacred Father within the Sacred Golden Sun Eternal. The Spirit-bird from within the eternal light embraces and protects Red Sun, the sacred light onto the people. The joining of the spiritual touches, influences, and enhances the spiritual beauty within the Sacred EagleHawk Guardian Spirit, suggestive of eternal life. Interesting too, the brighter the sun spirit touches EagleHawk Spirit; it enriches . . . the sacred eternal light life force, which inspires Red Sun, to radiate brighter and brighter, projecting forth an amazing wondrous energy, filled with life's sacred truth.

 New visions, additional information connected certain visions of EagleHawk, whose symbolism incorporates new insight and/or logic association to our sacred union. Introduces SunHawk and Red Sun to sacred universal logic and spiritual wisdom, we I failed to take into account, prior the lodge. However, even then, our sacred union proved a vast adventure of learning, the unlimited sacred facets, and characteristics. Notwithstanding, their meaning would still required several more years for us to comprehend a portion of the symbolism. Many symbolic symbols we saw and recorded but failed to register the necessary analysis the spiritual and universal conditions of one sacred symbolic union/reuniting of SunHawk and Red Sun. The people of the Red Sun are the spiritual power of oneness. (Who or what we mean in the greater scheme of the universe remains unknown.)

Yet, we wondered what event or events were behind the words . . . "of two worlds/nations, too long apart are now joined for eternity . . . ." What happened . . . why and what caused the separation. The Sacred White Eagle embraces, carries, and protests Red Sun; for the child comes by way the Highest of the Highest who is the Sacred Light Eternal that cast no shadows, for HE is the light the Alpha and Omega. I remembered the Sacred White Eagle arrival on the ceremonial mound from the Sacred Chiefs of the Highest of High Council  . . . the Sacred White Eagle connection protects and inspires Red Sun.

The Hawk within the Sacred Sun I realized bared a connection to SunHawk . . . we to each other, and the Sacred White Eagle to us. Yet, the Hawk also symbolized our connection to the Sacred Father of the Warrior Society, and the people of the Red Nations, still we realized a big vast area unwilling to provide information. [Who knew of the sacred adventures or meaning of what they witnessed on a canvas. What sacred journeys, and numerous experiences, just by the observation, of some unique Sacred EagleHawk Spirit, basking in the sacred sun's radiant powers. The Spirit-bird on the lodge had something to do with our sacred union and its universal meaning.

Lodge had not yet, arrived and we received no but we knew we needed lodge poles and a couple of friends, knew a friend that was going to a Pow-Wow in Oregano, from Montana that sold lodge poles and we made arrangements to meet him at the Klamath Pow-Wow. Spent the day and enjoyed the gathering of nations. The next morning we ate breakfast and headed back to our homes in Southern California. Can't explain why, but in a spur of the moment decision, someplace in Northern California, we decided to stop at a wolf statuary and see, if we could volunteer our physical bodies for fire clean-up and property repair. We were not sure, if they still needed people, but . . . they had contacted Indian Centers for help to see if anyone could volunteer. We had time to spare and enjoy the lay of the lands.

Early 1980s; exact data and years, I fail to keep track, since it was not of any importance, I am absentminded when it comes to remembering days or date. Reality checks, our guardians' plans proved different from ours, which became obvious the instant we stepped out of our car, we heard a song calling out summonsing us on a journey to see the one singing.

Walking across the compound, we spotted four-cubs in a makeshift pen, with six cubs inside, and something about the spirit song of one-female, wolf-hybrid cub, which drew three of us together. No voice, but SunHawk and I felt that she was the one calling to us. She and I looked at each other. Her spirit touched mine with such love, my heart melted; she wanted me to pick her up. Once the owner gave me permission to pick her up, I wanted to test something and went to pick-up a couple of her siblings, and they wanted nothing to do with SunHawk or Red Sun.

This beautiful hybrid was ready and tried to jump in my arms, and once I picked up this female hybrid, she snuggled her nose and head in my hair, after she wrapped and tangled her paws in my long black hair. The way she got tangled in my hair and around my neck, she refused to let go . . . . It was hard for the owner to give her up, which only happened after two hours of unsuccessfully attempts, to break her hold. I know how she felt, a number of times afterwards, I wanted to keep a certain hybrid, then like us, the one they were born to help appears, they latch on to and refused to let go. Your heart sinks, because you know the hybrids have their directives, which you should not stand in the way of their directive.

 The female hybrid, reminded entangled until we walked inside our home in Redondo Beach, hours later. Then just a quick as she bound herself to me, she released herself from my hair and neck. We named her Nikkei; our second hybrid was a piece of the guardians' plan, which helps set the course, guardians wanted. Nikkei, a very intelligent hybrid, and would go after anyone when they wanted to dance at the Pow-Wow after having alcohol or drugs, she would get in their way and growl at them. She also had a hostile reaction to people that try to claim they were American Indians, and they were not.

Grandfather EagleHawk the lodge drawing

Plans to go to the Sundance around Greasy Grass on hold; we ordered the lodge; retrieved Buffalo Skull, gathered sage, lodge poles, and added a wolf-hybrid to my family: Nikkei a true friend and teacher. Still receiving trance-visions, spirit walk visitations, we finally, received the lodge, five months after Nikkei, but too late to go to the Sundance this year. If I have caused you to wonder and ask questions, this is good. Truth, I did not feel any need to discuss anything in detail to every one, about Grandfather EagleHawk not privileged to my spiritual journey. Besides is it not more fun to keep them guessing? Too many questions, too many people would require too much time to explain to each individual. It would take all of my time, explaining, which I set aside each day to work on the drawing, this was a time in my life the Elders had placed many demands on me by the Elders.

This opens up on the third day at Big Bear Beal's Trading Post, of creative charcoal outlines, via the instruction I received, to create the sacred symbolic spirit bird. We were at Big Bear's because his was the one piece of property with plenty of area, open to friends, for me to lay the lodge out on the ground, which I need to work on with visual spiritual guidance and wisdom. We lived Redondo Beach, with very small backyard and only a driveway in the front. Houses built on hillsides, multi-levels of living space, each one built upwards with narrow passageways between homes. Definitely, the builders built these homes similar to San Francisco hillside concepts, but with a garage built for two.

Big Bear Beal's wife was a good Navajo woman, meaning many of her family and friends felt very comfortable and they came visiting almost daily, and many other people from other nations always felt welcome. After years of Pow-Wows, socials and gathers, we knew them well enough, for them to feel comfortable to tease us, Navajo style, and we knew how to take and give it back.

Late afternoon, on the tenth day, one of the Navajo elder couple heard of the strange bird, and decided they wanted to visit and see what the gossip talk had everyone questioning. The Spirit Bird was still in the charcoal drawing stage, which would be another couple of weeks of preparation before ready to paint it. SunHawk asked that I tell the elders what I have planned for this unique spirit bird. I said it was an Eagle embraced by the Sacred Sun, with a bright red sunburst on its chest.

AOkay, I do not see an Eagle, but and EagleHawk, too strange to even be a spirit-bird vision. We are in our eighty-five years, we have never experienced, heard of or seen a bird, you are placing on your lodge, are you sure it is medicine, since you know the symbols on a lodge, are to represent your protection and medicine.

'Yes, I agree and know symbolic purpose for painting ones lodge and this painting is as it should be."

Elbows and eyes dancing, signed time for jests and laughter. "Red Sun, no eagle, no hawk, no spirit, what type of bird is . . . I no it is a no-no bird . . . a-a-a-ah. Whatever is growing on your tipi: cannot say . . .  another shakes his head and tries to utter No . . .  e . . . gal, but confusion left him speechless . . . . The third the eldest of the Navajo Elders speaks . . . eaglet? No . . . I no remember. . . . and eagle born of hawk but I know of one that big my grandfather spoke of a hawk born of an Eagle, who was bigger than the biggest Eagle or Hawk," turning looking at the others gathered around, "can anyone?" . . . Sioux no say . . . but . . .

Apache elder said, "It is not for us to judge, but for us to wait, and see what the message is for all to see." After everyone walked away, "Red Sun, speak true, none can recall hearing about such a mixture of eagle and hawk, were you trying to paint an eagle or hawk that turned into a mixture of eagle and hawk?@

"Truth, I am painting what my vision has shown me to paint and how to paint this.

SunHawk: Only time will allow us to understand and know why the Grandfathers want it this way.

Observers, merciless banterers, and/or playful jest: either face-to-face, or circle talk gossip within hearing range, Indians enjoy this form of playfulness among friends. It would have been an insult. Truth, we would have been honestly insulted, if each time when our Cheyenne style tipi we laid out and they said nothing. However, teasing all around, continued at any type of gathering: since none could see the truth, only one mixed-up eagle slash hawk.

In truth, until this spirit-bird presentation on our tipi, none had ever experienced, heard of, or witnessed a spirit-bird, of hawk and eagle. Then none had they witnessed an eagle/spirit/hawk within the sun and its heart center/chest illuminates the sacred light of the red sun. Everyone believed no such bird, anywhere continues to exist, and there is none known to our people, none with such characteristics, not even in legends. Nevertheless, the spiritual vision of one spirit-bird revealed our creation of the spirit-bird was the creator of life. The sacred spirit-bird demands it life; daily, I put my spirit-heart and spiritual love into the creation of the sacred spirit-bird, and its life continues to grow strong.

Facts of reality, I am neither a great artist nor do I have any type of artistic talents. Truth, most of my drawings were always in charcoal on paper: now conditions of life, for the first time ever, require hands paint on one very monstrous canvas. Hands paint, yes, but whose hands are the painter, not my hands paint. What I expressed in words is what a doctor friend expressed better, after he had preformed several delicate surgeries, he best explains the term Hands painted:

 "I was watching, my hands, as the operations were being performed, I watch these hands execute with perfect precision new procedures. Cannot explain why I ordered certain supplies and equipment to be in the rooms, before doing these surgeries, but the surgical staff claimed I did. Surgical techniques were uniquely different, as they were neither in textbooks, nor had they been reported in journals, performed, or considered before, by others in my profession." Dr. Lee was a brain surgeon who claimed he was an observer through, which a higher power, taught by performance. Over the next twenty-four hours, they taught me in learning new procedures during the next three, and assisted him with the next three, before allowing him to be on his own. People that would have experienced brain damage or death, all survived with no long-term damage.

Now his experience I was beginning to understand, the hand experience he felt; because the true artist was unseen, only felt working with and through me, to paint the vision which mind’s eye perceived. The mystery of the spirit-bird hands started after we had our lodge blessed (March/April 1979) by a good-friend and highly respected medicine man who became a good-friend,. Blank ideas to create the vision of ideas, proved tipi canvass blank, until after the blessings.

Daily at dawn, guides supplied special instructions of material and the importance of certain accomplishment, daily only. Each morning I awoke with renewed knowingness, to create the vision/picture on the canvas, but mine are not artist hands.

Laying out the tipi on the ground, people would gather, shortly after I received harmonic balance with guardian and artist. Once we harmonized together, two-minds, spirit hands touch, then I experiences eyes and hand motion to paint what minds-eye, vision presented. Life was calm until the day after my hands moved three days, past the mid-way point announcing what was moving into one unique painting: which was the first of five figures envisioned to receiving paint on our lodge.

I had not been around for a few days and did not tell anyone when I was going back over to Big Bear's yet . . . . Interesting, how our banterers and friends knew, when to show-up by the carloads and continued, coming around until few days before completion, a group requested a few friends/Tribal Chiefs that had been observing the unique picture to invite the communities’ most respected Spiritual Leaders, to witness and express their opinions. They set-up the sweat lodge and feed for after the ceremony. After a sweat lodge and prayers, the Spiritual Leaders and Chiefs dubbed the painted picture . . . Sacred Spirit-bird EagleHawk. They learned a small introduction to the spirit-bird wisdom, which would reveal its sacred truths in its own time and way.

The name they derived from both visual, as well as, spiritual impressions for a strong Sacred Spirit-bird EagleHawk: Body, head, beak, wingspan, as well as, wings-tips from tip to tip each reflected those of an eagle. Hawk appearance's is in the coloration and mixture of red-tail hawk back and tail-feathers. Spirit-bird origin they derived from the appearance of an oversize Sacred Golden White Eagle joined with the Sacred Hawk spirit, delivering unique chest coloration. The unique coloration, was actually the design of one large red sunburst, appeared to carry a spiritual meaning for those who understood the ways of traditions extending outward. Sacred four-directional points from the heart center, along with eight-smaller points; covering most of chest, and three-quarters of neck, tail, and wings, symbolic of the sacred universe spiritual points.

This is what my hands painted and no matter what I tried to do different my hands, refused to follow my desires. The last four designs somewhat resembled cave dweller drawing animals, they did not have spirit hands to create, anything except the spirit-bird. After the important stuff, I too, as the doctor, regained control of hands. [The doctor learned to perform several new surgical techniques: he taught others his newly acquired and delicate life-saving procedures.] The only thing that happened for me . . . was a lesson in tolerance and stay away from trying to paint another tipi.
