REPORT
ON THE STAR KNOWLEDGE CONFERENCE, 1996
NATIVE
ELDERS REVEAL CENTURIES OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT LORE
by Richard
Boylan, Ph.D. (c) 1996
For ten
days in June, the Yankton Sioux Reservation on the windswept
high plains of South Dakota was a gathering place for indigenous
tribal leaders from around the globe and hundreds of Native
and Euro-American listeners. The occasion was the Star Knowledge
Conference and Sun Dance, convoked by Lakota (Sioux) spiritual
leader Standing Elk in response to a vision. The vision showed
that Native American spiritual knowledge about the Star Nations
was to be shared. This Conference also fulfilled ancient Hopi
and Lakota prophecies. Spiritual shamans from the Plains tribes
(Lakota, Oglala, Dakota, Blackfoot, Nakota) were joined by
spokespersons from the Eastern (Iroquois, Oneida, Seneca and
Choctaw) and Southwest (Hopi, Yaqui and Mayan) tribes. In
addition, the chief Maori shaman came from New Zealand at
the southern end of the world, as well as a spokeswoman for
the Sammi (Laplander) people from above the Arctic Circle.
They came because they had seen signs now occurring which
had been predicted by ancient prophecies. These signs signified
to them that the time had come to speak openly about their
most closely-held oral traditions. These traditions include
their origin from the stars, the influence of Star People
visitors on the formation of their culture and their spiritual
beliefs and ceremonies, and the imminent return of the Star
Nations.
Unprecedented
as this gathering was, further precedent was set when Standing
Elk, in a published announcement with apology to all Elders,
declared that this sacred knowledge "is to be
shared with our brothers of the four directions",
(the entire non-Native world). Additionally, he invited world-famous
Euro/American experts on extraterrestrials to also speak at
this gathering of elders. Among those speaking were such notables
as former NATO intelligence Sgt.-Major Bob Dean, Harvard Professor
John Mack, MD, author Whitley Strieber, CSETI assistant director
Martin Keller, former acting Finnish Surgeon-General Rauni
Kilde, MD, Professor Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D., ET research psychologist
Richard Boylan, Ph.D., Professor Courtney Brown, Ph.D., Italian
stigmatic-experiencer Giorgio Bongiovanni, German researcher
Michael Hesemann, former CIA paranormal operatives Dea Martin
and Derrel Sims, contactees Marilyn Carlson and Randolph Winters,
and others.
This
report is a summary of the Star Knowledge Conference. As such,
it will necessarily not cover every topic or every speaker.
Furthermore, because Native speakers have not presented their
messages publicly before, while the Euro-American experts
have been widely reported, this report will focus on the Native
revelations.
Standing
Elk, Lakota Keeper of the Six-Pointed Star Nation Altar, in
his opening remarks noted that Medicine Men have the ability
to communicate with the spiritual entities of Mother Earth,
such as the Eagle, the Deer, the Coyote and the Star Nations.
"The
Star Nations were the most crucial of all entities, because
the thought of other races communicating with the grassroots
[indigenous] people would create a major threat to the religious
systems, the economy and educational system of any government.
The greatest fear in the governmental structures was the knowledge
that all forms of `Star Governments' had no monetary systems
within their governing structures. Their system was based
on the mental, spiritual and universal laws with which they
were too mentally and spiritually intelligent to break. The
collapse of the monetary system within the United States Government
and the Religious Denominations became a National Security
issue, and so it became an easier task to make the Lakota/Dakota
belief system illegal to participate [in] and practice."
Standing Elk added that "The Lakota/Dakota Medicine
Men are now being instructed to share spiritual knowledge
of the Star Nations, because of the contamination of Mother
Earth and the pollution of the air."
He spoke
of as a child witnessing UFOs flying down the nearby Missouri
River valley, green balls of light four times larger than
a school auditorium. Through portholes on the sides of these
ships he could see shadows of persons inside. During one encounter
he met a seven-foot-tall man in white clothes who appeared
like a middle-aged Caucasian. The room was filled with light.
It contained computer-like machines which operated on light
and "the law of thought".
Standing
Elk talked about meeting another Sioux Medicine Man who confirmed
that there are ETs. Some are like ants, with big, black eyes
and long fingers and toes. Some live out in the cosmos and
some on the other side of the Moon. Sioux legends relate that
they came from the Pleiades, with others coming from the Sirius
and Orion systems. He related about having visitations in
the sweat lodge from the "Gray" ETs, who
bear messages and provide answers to questions. Standing Elk
talked about being visited by a five-foot-tall, orange-skinned
extraterrestrial with large eyes. He also mentioned blue and
green Star People, and "a hundred other races you don't
know about." He asserted that "the
way of the Stars is in every culture."
Moving
to a religious theme, he said that Jesus was a Star Man. Standing
Elk noted that the symbols found on the wreckage of the Roswell
UFO crash each had two meanings: a universal law and a spiritual
law. During a subsequent presentation he presented interpretations
of these various ET symbols which he had received from Star
People who manifested during sweat lodge ceremonies.
The next
speaker, Oglala spiritual advisor Floyd Hand, continued the
religious theme, speaking about the Avatars (world religious
teachers), such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and White Buffalo
Calf Woman, (the Star Person who gave the Sioux their spiritual
history, health practices, and ceremonies). "The
Avatars are Star People". He said that seven
different galaxies are represented on the Earth. "Each
Native American tribe has its ET race [of origination counterpart]".
The Star People will return in the latter part of the 1990s.
Changes will happen as their time draws near. The first sign
is floods, fires and earthquakes. There will be a world Great
Drought in 1997-1999. Many will starve. There will be destruction
of electrical and sewer lines, loss of cities and many lives.
In 1998 White Buffalo Calf Woman is coming back to Turtle
Island (the U.S.). There are Four Omens. The First Omen was
the recent birth of a white buffalo calf on a White ranch,
whose hide eventually turned the other colors of the Four
Nations (yellow, red and black). The Second Omen was the birth
of another white buffalo calf to a Sioux rancher, but it died.
"We have no right to destroy four-leggeds and
winged creatures for our purposes." The Third
Omen was a third white calf, but no one is listening despite
human suffering and death. The Fourth Omen will be the Star
People coming and visiting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Floyd
Hand urged people to get away from urban hubbub and sharpen
their senses. He added, "Start putting in a garden,
put away food; it's going to be hard. There will be a new
government." Hand sees the end of the current
world on January 21, 2021.
Elder
Paula Underwood gave an Iroquois perspective on off-planet
lifeforms. She described the many appearance-forms of the
extraterrestrials. In answer to the question of whether we
can form community with them, she replied that "all
who walk on two legs are our brothers and sisters. We come
from the unity of the Universe." Underwood told
of an Iroquois oral tradition of an ET telepathic message
to the Iroquois: "We are Coming."
The Iroquois Elders thought-responded, "Don't
come; we are not prepared." The ETs replied,
"Prepare yourself."
Lakota
Elder Harry Charger discussed the oral tradition of the Sioux
peoples. There have been many ET visitations with the Sioux
during sweat lodge ceremonies. Charger said that 50% of what
we see of ET appearances are mental projections from the ETs.
He said that the Star Nations are concerned about our destruction
of the planet. He told of, as a boy, being instructed by his
grandmother to make a ball that didn't bounce. Later the village
grandmothers gathered to try out tossing this gentle-landing
ball he made. They smiled with satisfaction as it soft-landed.
Years later he realized the point: that the soft-lander ball
was a ritual reenactment of a space vehicle which had touched
down on the Lakota lands.
The Lakota
Elder told the Sioux spiritual origin legend. Two Lakota scouts
were out away from the tribe when a young, beautiful, pale-white
luminous woman appeared to them, White Buffalo Calf Woman.
She gave them important instructions about their origin, and
spiritual teachings and ceremonies to bring back to their
people. One scout had lustful thoughts for the woman and sought
to approach her erotically. He perished. The other scout had
paid respectful attention and brought back her teachings to
the people, who have been sustained by them. Charger said
that each of us faces the same choice: how will each of us
react to the return of the Star People's presence?
Finnish
physician Rauni-Leena Kilde spoke of the extraterrestrial
experience among the Sammi (Laplander) people she was raised
with above the Arctic Circle and in Scandinavia. Her first
remembered contact was when she was in a severe car crash.
As she laid there mortally injured, a small ET was at her
side working on healing her injured liver. Later the hospital
staff could not understand how she survived the crash. Later
she remembered ET contacts as a child living among the Sammi.
She reported that there is a change of attitude in Scandinavia
and the European Union about cosmic contacts. She hears positive
reactions to ET encounters. In Scandinavia the so-called "Grey"
aliens are rare. Most common there are the small, short, wrinkled
"Dwarf" ETs. Her country borders Russia,
whose cosmonauts were threatened with death if they talked
openly about UFO encounters.
Steve
Red Buffalo (Lakota) gave a talk about the Star People coming
down from the Pleiades. The Sioux trace their origin to that
Seven Sisters constellation. The Pleiades have a connection
with the chanupa, the sacred pipe, which symbolizes the union
of the Earth (stone bowl) with the Sky (hollow stem through
which smoke is drawn and sent heavenward.)
Dakota
spiritual leader Chanupa Wambdi Wicasa (Deer Man) startled
those listening by stating that the current Pope, John Paul
II, is a Pipe Carrier (a Native-American spirituality tradition-keeper).
The Pope fasted and entered into a sweat lodge ceremony with
the Dakota while visiting in Canada, and congratulated the
Dakota for keeping their traditions and ceremonies.
Deer
Man interpreted a recent Crop Circle design as containing
a highly relevant message. This Crop Circle consisted of five
concentric circles. The first four circles are like orbit
paths around a central sun, with a planet-like "bead"
imbedded in each orbit circle except the third one. The outermost
ring is a chain of densely-packed "beads"
of varying sizes. The entire Crop Circle is the Circle of
Life. The four inner circles are the traditional Four Nations
of humanity: white, yellow, red and black. The smallest circle
near the nucleus is the White Race. Spirit gave the White
Race responsibility for Fire. The White Man forgot his responsibility,
and so created the nuclear bomb. The White Race's elliptical
orbit indicates that it is out of balance. The second orbit
is the Black Race, which has the responsibility for Water.
They have forgotten their responsibility. As a result, the
waters are contaminated, and this causes cancer. The third
orbit is the Red Race, whose "planet-bead"
is missing. The Red Race has responsibility for the Earth.
Their "bead" is missing because
the Red Nation still walks with the Tunkashilas (Grandfathers,
spiritual guides). The fourth orbit is the Yellow Race, whose
responsibility is the air. But Asian-sponsored factories pollute
the air. Deer Man commented that "we have brought
these imbalances on ourselves. The Red Race has responsibility
for the land, but cannot do so because of herbicides, acid
rain and underground nuclear testing." Spirit
told Deer Man that the other races were to follow the Red
Way of Life too, but have lost it.
The outermost
circle is the Star Nations. "The Star Nations
are here to help us." The Earth was out of balance,
and is rebalancing its tilt. "We have to help
the Earth come back into balance. Time as you know it is coming
to an end, sooner than you think. There will not be cars or
TVs." He said that the Grandfathers taught him
that we are coming to the end of the Fourth World. We are
about to enter the Fifth World. [This concurs with similar
Hopi prophecies.] "It will take Nine Worlds before
we get to the Spirit World."
Hopi
Grandfather Titus, Keeper of the Prophecy Tablets, adopted
Roy Little Sun. He spoke on behalf of his grandfather. He
told of a Solar System planetary alignment sequence moving
into place which is powerful for the Earth. The outer planets
line up with the planets near Earth. "The power
of the heavens steps down to the Earth. The New Moon [June
16-Conference conclusion] is an opening of a gate of Star
Knowledge." Little Sun said that the star Knowledge
Conference is like a Medicine Wheel. Conference participants
will radiate out to spread the information to others: "taking
the teachings of the Star People and applying them to human
interactions."
Norbert
Running, a Lakota Medicine Man, was one of the first to participate
in the revived Sun Dance of modern times. He chastised latter-day
Native American "neo-traditionalists"
as contaminated by Christian missionaries, believing in devils,
and making up bureaucratic religion rules. Norbert Running
said that most Indians on the reservations believe in the
Natural Way of spirituality. He urged everyone to "cultivate
Spirit Guides to help you in the life path." He
learned most of what he knows in the Yuwipi, Spirit Calling-In,
ceremony. He told of legendary Sioux Elder Black Elk having
a prophetic vision of racial unity, a rainbow lodge with the
Four Nations together. He also spoke of the Hopi prophecy
of Red and White brothers working together.
The chief
Spiritual Elder of all the Maori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand),
Mac Wire-mu Ruka, accepted Standing Elk's invitation to share
the ancient truths and prophecies of his people. Since age
three, Elder Ruka had been taught the genealogies, secrets
and incantations of the cosmic and Earth realms. A special
star alignment in 1988 told the old Maori Grandmothers that
the time had arrived to bring out publicly the Old Stories
which had been kept hidden for centuries, and that Elder Ruka
was the one designated to speak. The Maori Elder related accounts
of the star origin of his people. In a moving candle-lit ritual,
he created a twelve-woman ceremonial circle at the Conference
to speak for Spirit and set the proper vibration for creating
such awareness.
Choctaw
Medicine Man Panther (Preston Scott) told of how he was designated
to follow the path of the heyoka (sacred trickster). One day
as a boy he was being walked to school by his mother. A dark
storming cloud came up from the west. His mother told him
to run to his grandfather's house. He made it as far as his
grandfather's yard when a lightning bolt struck so close to
him that the heat and energy flipped him over. He landed on
his feet still running and went up on his grandfather's porch.
Being struck by lightning is Spirit designation as heyoka.
As an
adult, Panther was climbing a hill one day and received a
vision of three Grandfathers. He was told that he was going
to go north to the Lakota land, where they would give him
a foundation of spiritual knowledge to take back to his people,
because the Choctaw had lost their spiritual ways. Now he
is seeing spirituality rising among the Choctaw.
An inipi
(sweat lodge) ceremony for a Sun Dancer was led by Panther
on the night of June 15. As we prayed inside the totally-dark
lodge, there appeared two rectangular-shaped lights, about
the size of bricks, dancing near the upper east wall. Panther
commented that there were six spirits inside the lodge. After
the lodge, we learned from others waiting outside that, during
the sweat lodge, a high UFO went across the sky. At first
it looked like a satellite, but then it stopped and gyrated
in geometric patterns of flight.
Gary
Holy Bull, a Lakota Medicine Man, is a carrier of the Elk
medicine bundle. His spiritual path was deepened when he almost
died during brain surgery, and had an out-of-body- experience
where he met an old Indian medicine man adjusting energy particles
coming out of people's bodies.
Holy
Bull told of seeing UFOs flying over Bear Butte, a volcanic
peak in the Black Hills and the sacred heart of the Sioux
Nation. Then he spoke about the Star Nation Altars. These
are sacred ritual-object altars kept by certain designated
spiritual leaders as shrines where knowledge of the Star People
is gathered, kept and honored. The Lakota Elder said that
Star Nation Altars send a blue light up to the heavens, which
the Star People can see as a beacon.
He told
of doing a ceremony for a woman, during which a Star Elder
came in and landed nearby. The ET was tall, gray, and had
large eyes. Holy Bull did the Calling-In Song, and the tunkashilas
(Grandfather Spirits) came in, went over and held the Star
Elder. The Star Elder told them some things: Mother Earth
is dying; their (the Star Elder's) planet is dead, lifeless.
He is telling Holy Bull this because the Native Americans
have the Spirit. Mother Earth will clean the ozone.
Gary
Holy Bull had an advising Dream one year ago to go to a spiritual
gathering where sacred bundles and pipes were placed together.
That Dream was fulfilled on June 23rd at Greengrass, South
Dakota. In an unprecedented joining, the three sacred bundles
of the Sioux (the pipe), the Cheyenne (arrows) and the Arapaho
(sacred hat) were brought together. This fulfills a prophecy
about the beginning of the Thousand Years of Peace.
Rod Shenandoah,
Blackfoot-Oneida medicine man, in a side lecture during the
Sun Dance ceremonies, talked about visitations from the Star
People which he, Wallace Black Elk, and many other medicine
persons, chiefs and other Native Americans have experienced.
He pointed out that "Indians consider themselves
privileged" when such Star Nation contacts occur.
They consider such visits to be sacred events. Wallace Black
Elk had a visit by extraterrestrials while he was in isolation
on a spiritual hanblechia (fast and Vision Quest).
In a
final teaching round adjacent to the Sun Dance, Standing Elk
said that the Star People are here to teach, to foster spiritual
growth, and to prepare us for dealing with the challenging
Earth Changes coming up in the next several years. The Star
People are included as honored Elders in the Native American
key reverential saying, "Mitakuye oyasin!"
(All my relations).
Standing
Elk spoke of the extraterrestrials communicating telepathically
with Indians, and that the original Spiritual Language of
the Sioux [different from conversational Lakota] is a language
of a few cryptic key words, designed to stimulate, and be
supplemented by, full additional telepathic communication.
The same Star People who visit the Sioux also visit the Hopi
Indians. He said that the Star People and the Indians have
the same DNA. Standing Elk noted that there is Big News coming,
"fast changes, but they are slow in arriving."
He also commented that the Star People are also aware of the
Law of Karma. Thus, the rogue ETs, [the few renegades who
have collaborated with the Shadow Government], "are busy
now putting their act together."
Arvol
Looking Horse, the 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White
Buffalo Calf Pipe for the Lakota-Dakota-Nakota Nation, had
called for a World Peace and Prayer Day on June 21, Summer
Solstice. This was in response to prophecies shared by spiritual
leaders and Elders at the United Nations, that it is time
to begin global healing by working towards world peace and
harmony.
While
Looking Horse, the other Sacred Bundle Keepers, and many others
gathered at Grey Horn Butte (Devil's Tower National Monument),
Standing Elk and those participating in the Sun Dance on the
Yankton Sioux Reservation held an observance in support. As
representatives of the Four Nations stood in the Four Directions
doorways of the Sun Dance, and the gathered dancers and participants
prayed, high above the central Sun Dance pole a thin hollow
circle of cirrus cloud formed around the sun, refracting within
itself a perfectly circular rainbow. Although the wind was
up from the west, and other scattered clouds blew by, the
circular rainbow remained perfect and immobile for over an
hour, as witnessed by all the participants. In the Bible the
rainbow is described as a sign of peaceful favor from the
one the Indians know as the Great Spirit. Perhaps Tunkashila
was indicating that we can approach the end of the Fourth
World and our emergence into the Fifth World with hope.
