Let's Believe...Stone tablets of the Zuni Indians....
Let's say that I invite you to the birthplace of my mother and aunts in Steamboat, AZ, and I tell that when you come to visit I will show something that would blow your mind. A month later you take me up on my invitation and come to have a reservation experience. I take you to the local silversmiths and storytellers that entertain with stories of ancient creatures and people from a time lost in history.
The sun sets for the evening and we sit outside looking over the corn field before the prairie dogs come out to feast on my beautiful fields of vegetables. I walk inside to get my pouch of mountain smoke and rolling paper. When I come back out I bring out a cardboard box and set it in between us.
I roll my smoke and tell of a time when star brothers that came from the heavens used to live among us and teach us how to live properly. You have doubts and you say its a good story, but there is no proof of it.
I tell you to reach into the box and unwrap the object inside. You are a little hesitant at first but you go for it and you unwrap. Its a stone slab wrapped in a cloth with some weird inscriptions carved into it. I tell you its the language that the Gods used when they used to live with the people, but yet you are still trying to figure out what it is that you hold in your hand.
What do you make of it? What you are holding in your hand maybe ancient proof of the star brothers language from the heavens?
Of course, this is all fascinating but what if it is true.
The tablet up above has been affirmed as being an ancient form of Tibetan Sanskrit etched into a slab of sandstone. Apparently it was dug up during an archaeological excavation while they were digging at an ancient pueblo site where a town used to be. The archaeologists claims to have dug it up in a dried up river bed. He had been excavating on the Zuni Indian reservation near Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico.
David Hatcher Childress was the archaeologists who was excavating the Pueblo site. After he discovered the tablet he immediately took the Tablet to Clifford Mahooty, a Zuni Elder, who is a medicine holder for the Zuni Clown Society.
Clifford Mahooty is a well known Star Brothers enthusiast. He was the first Zuni elder to come out and officially state that the Zuni tribe have been hoarding secrets for quite some time about the return of the star warriors and the prophecies of the future. Just the like Hopi Indians and the ever legendary Hopi elders Dan Evehema, Dan Monongye, and Thomas Banyacya. They also too hoarded secrets of the Hopi tribe and their prophecies of the future that are now revealed for the world to see.
Clifford Mahooty has appeared on the History Channel for the Ancient Aliens series publicly stating the UFO connection with his Zuni tribe. He also tells of some awesome stories of UFO encounters on the Zuni Indian Reservation. It seems that back in the late 1930s, a craft had evidently crash landed part of the way up a mesa and had sat for a couple of days before taking off and disappearing. At the time the Indians interpreted the event as being the visit by a “thunderbird” but Clifford mentioned he thought it was a technological craft that was damaged and then repaired by the occupants before flying off.
The odd thing about all this is about the Tibetan connection because in one of the Hopi prophecies they tell of a true white brother heading into the north with a piece of their own Prophecy stone tablet. It goes on to state that the Hopi will know if the person returned to them is their true White Brother by presenting them with the missing piece of the tablet. And the Hopi elders have stated that the Tibetan Monks are the true White Brothers they have been waiting for. In 1974 the Monk 16th Karmapa visited the Hopi tribe on their reservation, fulfilling another prophecy.
So what does this all say about the mythologies and cultures of Native Americans?...That there may be some truth to it all after all. And I am just barely starting with all these connections and revelations that I have known for quite some time. Better for me to share then to keep it to myself.
Until next time....

Do Navajo's know or remember?
If I were to ask you about what you were doing a month ago on a particular day, I don't think many would remember exactly what is was they were doing. The human mind can only process so much information and store very little more from the experiences that we encounter on a daily basis. So our mind is constantly removing and changing parts of our memory in order for us to keep it complete and meaningful.
The information regarding the last two visitations in 1936-37 came from the book:
Navajo lifeways: contemporary issues, ancient knowledge
By Maureen Trudelle Schwarz
The best example I can put out there is everyone has known a person who has passed away. Could be any number of relatives, friends, or acquaintances. This is a person you have known personally for quite some time and they passed due to any number of complications. You remember them talking to you and sometimes you would converse with this person on a daily basis, and maybe even for hours. Think of it as a time you had no way of recording them with a video or voice recorder, but you do have pictures of them. Then time passes and soon enough years pass.
Eight years pass and you run into particular situation where you are once again talking about the person that you lost. Then the question comes up, "What did this he/she sound like?"...And then it happens. You cannot remember the sound of their voice. It bugs you because you know how they sounded, but yet you still can't remember.
Don't worry, I have that same problem.
Now we come upon the reasoning for the above mentioned passage about memory loss and shortage, or even compensation.
May 3 1996, I was attending junior high school in Montezuma Creek, UT, a small desolate town located within the small Utah portion of the Navajo-Indian Reservation. I distinctly remember a feeling of uneasiness on that particular day, I cannot describe as to why I was feeling like so but the feeling was just there.
Little did I know that several miles away to the west of my little town in place called Rocky Ridge, AZ, two deities from Navajo tradition reportedly visited two Navajo women. The adult daughter had been living and caring for her elderly mother since her mother is blind and hard of hearing. In the early morning hours her mother told her about some people that were coming to visit them. Her daughter kept asking her mother who she was expecting.
Then they heard a sound come from outside their Hogan (Navajo Traditional Home) followed by a gust of wind that entered the home even while the door remained closed. Then the daughter walked outside and came upon two figures. They both had white hair, almost silver like, and one had white skin while they other had blue skin. One stood on the ground while the other hovered about. They talked to her and warned about the diminishing traditional ways of the Navajo and told her that if the Navajo people do not return to the old ways something terrible was to follow. Then they told her to spread the word of their visitation and their warnings to the people.
Word spread like wild fire about this incident.
Many ceremonial figures within the community reached out to the ladies and soon Navajo people were making pilgrimages to the sacred site. Not just by the handfuls, but by the hundreds. Navajo's who had relocated to places as far away as Alaska and Canada came back home to pray and leave offerings at the sacred site.
Word was also spread advising the Navajo people not to leak any information to the media, but soon enough local newspapers ran the story and then it spread again. This time into the nation. Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune ran articles, so as did the Denver Post and The Oregon times and so forth.
Then people started getting upset and frustrated with the coverage. The neighboring Hopi tribe began lashing out and condemning the account stating that it was a simple ruse by the few remaining Navajo residents on Hopi land. It just got worse. Even the Navajo's themselves began questioning the visitation as well.
Soon it was forgotten yet again. For them precious two months the Navajo people believed once again in themselves. That maybe the stories that some of us grew up listening to had some truth to it after all. Maybe there was something special about our beliefs as well. Maybe.
But maybe is not a certainty. We forgot.
It is true that the majority of Navajo people do not even know a quarter of their tradition and mythologies. And there are so many other stories of visitations that have came and went over the past decades but none was ever so popular as the Visitation in Rocky Ridge, AZ. Then Navajo Nation President Albert Hale even visited the site on horse back and declared May 17-24 to be spiritual unity week on the Navajo Nation. Hale himself was later accused of embezzling, fraud, and adultery.
There are other significant visitations that we should also know about.
In 1936, a young Navajo woman from Huerfano Mesa was visited by White Shell Woman. According to her White Shell Woman revealed and showed her a special way of conducting the Blessing Way ceremonies.
Also.
In late 1936 or early 1937, another Navajo woman reportedly also had a visitation with a Navajo deity, this time it was from Hadahoniye' ' Ashkii (Mirage Stone Boy) in Farmington, NM. She reported the deity as a small man about three feet tall and was extremely old. All of his clothing was of a rich, wine color. She also described seeing his skin as being different colors like that of the rocks near her home.
There seems to be a trend here, especially around the year 1936. But the most significant trend is that we have a tendency to forget such huge significant events in our culture, which is still a living culture. There is no one to blame here but our minds. Because it's our minds who erase and replace our memories with other things WE hold dear and significant.
Although, I think we have to blame ourselves, even if its just a little bit. We kept it a secret and warned not to spread the word and keep these momentous events among ourselves. Even though some say the messages were for all of mankind, so how could we try to keep it to ourselves. Furthermore, I would say that I would put a little more of the blame on the people who heard the stories first hand and seen the initial evidence of the visitations. People who know about something that could help and keep the people informed, but refuse to act.
Maybe I am just like them dogs that keep the all reservation stores occupied, hanging around hoping to be fed or taking home. But no one takes notices nor cares. So we just end up chasing our own tails.
