Week 5 of the Iroquois Creation Story Workshop!

Here is the video from Week 5 of the ongoing workshop being held in Kahnawake First Nations Mohawk Territory exploring the Haudenosaunee (First Nations Iroquois) Creation Story.

At the beginning of this video through about the 0:07:00 mark, Kyle Delisle of the First Nations Mohawk explains some of the connections to the ancient world-wide system of celestial metaphor that he sees in the Iroquois Creation Story, including some of the Mohawk and Seneca versions as well as a different Onondaga version in addition to the Onondaga Creation Story account that we are focusing on during this seminar.

Beginning at about the 0:07:00 mark in the video, Haudenosaunee wisdom keeper Trina Stacey Ienonhsaka'en:ions leads a round-table discussion of the parts of the Creation Story we heard the week before. To view the videos of the previous weeks of this seminar, check out:

This week's video is, as noted, Week 05, and it was recorded on 23 November 2022.

Beginning at 0:59:30 in this week's video, I provide some analysis of the celestial components evident in the Haudenosaunee Creation Story thus far, echoing the analysis that Kyle gives at the beginning of this video and adding some evidence to back up those connections and to show clear signs of resonance with ancient myth and sacred stories preserved in other cultures around the world.

Then, beginning at 1:35:08 in this week's video, Trina resumes the telling of this Onondaga version of the Iroquois Creation Story, telling each part first in the Mohawk First Language and then giving the translation, with added explanation at various important points.

The workshop concludes just after the two-hour mark. Thank you for watching! Please feel free to share with those for whom this information would be positive in some way!

Last American President Murdered: JFK on 22 November, 1963

On this day in 1963, fifty-nine years ago, President John F. Kennedy was brutally assassinated in front of the whole world by criminals who were part of something much larger than the "lone gunman" story that was immediately force-fed to the people and which has continued to be propagated since that day.

The condition of the United States of America in the subsequent fifty-nine years and right up to now results directly from the events of that day -- and from the fact that we have yet to face what happened and take proper action in light of that murder.

John Kennedy was the last American president: every single president since then has by completely logical consequence been merely a figurehead and puppet of whatever cabal or clique perpetrated that violent criminal conspiracy.

The media has of course been complicit and continues to be complicit in the cover-up of what happened: this only proves the point that the country was taken over on that day by a coup which has not been reversed. How could it be reversed, when we continue to accept the most obvious lies about what took place in Dallas on November 22, 1963?

Previous blog posts from years past published about this day include:

• "Prophets don't talk about the future: They talk about the past -- which has been hidden"

• "Vincent J. Salandria on the Murder of John F. Kennedy: That Historical Day when the Republic Expired"

• "22 November: Now Fifty-Eight Years since the Murder of President Kennedy"

Week Four of the Iroquois Creation Story Workshop!

Here is the video from Week 4 of the ongoing workshop exploring the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois First Nations) Creation Story, being held in Kahnawake Mohawk Territory. At the beginning of this video through about the 0:17:00 mark, Kyle Delisle of the Mohawk First Nations and CEO of the Kahnawake Business Contribution Foundation discusses evidence of cataclysmic flooding in the ancient past. At about 0:17:00, I give a continuation of my introduction to the patterns of the ancient world-wide system of celestial metaphor which forms the foundation of the world's ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories. This presentation follows on presentations in Weeks One and Two of the same workshop, which can be viewed here and here. This third part of the exploration of the Star Myths of the World (with particular focus on the Star Myths of the Indigenous Native American First Nations of North America) includes some thoughts on the White Dog Ceremony of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Nations), as well as some preparation for the main topic of the workshop, which is the Iroquois Creation Story. That presentation runs through about the 1:14:30 mark of the video. At about the 1:14:40 mark, Mohawk wisdom keeper Trina Stacey Ienonhsaka'én:ions begins to present the actual sacred Creation Story in the Mohawk Language, pausing throughout to translate into English as she proceeds. She is reading an Onondaga version of the Creation Story, in the Mohawk Language. This reading and telling of the beginning of the Creation Story runs through about the 1:59:48 mark in the video. At that point, in response to Trina's request, I briefly add a few thoughts and possible celestial connections related to some of the figures and events in the Creation Story. The video of this week of the workshop concludes at around 2:08:55. Please feel free to share with those for whom this information would be positive in some way!

Part Two of my Introduction to the Star Myth System from the Iroquois Creation Story Seminar

Above is the video of Part Two of my presentation on the Introduction to the Star Myth System, using for illustration selected sacred stories given to and preserved by various North American Indigenous Nations and Tribes.

This is the second part of a presentation that was recorded over the course of two sessions, one week apart, on 26 October and 02 November, 2022. This discussion is part of a ten-week seminar exploring the Iroquois Creation Story organized by teachers and wisdom keepers of the Iroquois Nations.

Excited to start a ten-week seminar with the Iroquois Nations!

I am honored to have been invited to participate in a ten-week seminar exploring the sacred Creation Account of the Iroquois Nations of North America.

During this seminar, we will hear a version of the Creation Account in both Mohawk and English, and investigate some of the connections to the ancient Star Myth patterns found in the sacred stories given to other cultures on all the inhabited islands and continents of our Earth.

These discussions will be recorded and will become available online as they take place.

Above (and recorded during our second meeting of this seminar) is the first part of my introduction to the Star Myth system, which was recorded on 26 October of 2022. Part two will be coming soon!
