I was adopted in South Dakota and therefore do not know my bloodline. I am a spiritual person who has many dreams/visions. I had one the end of summer sleeping in the woods during army OCS. I was in a dim room or temple with incense in the air. A cloth or stone barrier was in front of me. A figure with white/grey robes came around the barrier; his face was chalky white and eyes that were black and looked straight ahead. It seemed as if he were not alive so I touch his face- I saw that there was a thin un-fired clay mask so when I touched a corner it broke off and the black eyes turned and looked at me. As the figure had come around the barrier, a voice had said "Eototo soh is coming from beyond back into the world of men." I wrote the name down. 6 mo's later, I read Sidney Has no Horse's prophecy, bought the book of the Hopi, recognized Eototo. Just tonight I figured out "So" is "tso" hence Eototo the Great. Please write me; I have many visions and dreams but it is hard to find those who have open eyes and ears. Please email me!!!!
On a Sunday evening I was chosen to carry the Stone People for the Sweat Lodge. So grateful I was asked. Little did I know that it would be a big challenge to carry out. The spirit of the fire would not let me keep to my responsibility of looking after the Stone People. I would fight to keep the stones and wood in place. Then the unexpected happened, the wood and the stones all fell flat in the fire pit. At first I got scared then I began to wonder if anything was wrong with me, if my heart and my mind were right. My first thought was to leave it all alone to turn my back on the fire. I took a chance that I might get burned trying to care for the fire. I had to put all my trust in the Great Mystery that he would not allow me to get burned because only he knows how much I can endure. It took all I had to put the stones and wood back in place. It was difficult but I managed because I knew it served a higher purpose and that the steam from the water was not only carring my prayers but the prayers of others as well so it ahd to be done. in the end it was a good sweat. Through that experience the Creator was telling me that in this walk through life there are going to be the unexpected both good and bad, we have to be open to the experience. When life feels like it has crumbled we have to trust that we will not get burned. As we build ourselves back up we will experience some pain but we all have to trust that the Creator knows what he is doing in our lives. In the end we come out that much stronger and wiser. To all my Native People love one another and be there for each other.
I see there are other Dawahoyas' here. I don't know that side extensively some Sungopavi. I'm half from Paaqavi and my other half is O'Odham from Gila River. Please feel free to contact me.
Has anyone here studied ancient religion as it could possibly relate to some Southwest Native American beliefs? Perhaps there is a small connection between ancient Native America and beliefs of the ancient descendants of Mushi, Merari and Gershon who were Levites - Just my own thought. God Bless
