When I think about Robert Chavez of H.O.P.E.'s message to
educate our families and our communities about the reality of LANL
and our Traditional and Indigenous Wisdom that teaches us
All Life is Sacred...
When I think about Thomas Banyacya who spoke out publicly
for decades giving permission for both video and audio recordings...
about the mis-use of uranium and it's effects on Traditional Life Ways
and the devastation that it has and continues to have
on All Life and the One Humanity...and still so many have not heard his
guidance....
When I think about WHY so many people still know nothing about our history,
about how precious our water, air, land, Life Ways are, for the health and well-being NOW and for the future generations....
When I think about how decades of censorship of our voices in mainstream media, school textbooks, and intentional lack of funding resources to educate people has hindered our region from being heard....
When I think about the loss of language which is the foundation of every culture
and the need to preserve our Traditional and Indigenous Cultural Life Ways
which embody the teachings to guide the One Humanity at this time....
When I think about these things, I am delighted by
the opportunity that has come from an official invitation from the Rare Earth Foundation and the Yabarrah Elders to begin with this first documentary, plus build a global social network, plus guide our Youth with the wisdom from Traditional and Indigenous Elders to be the future Leaders, for a more harmonious Life Way with Mother Earth, through
a global youth media network with a focus on preservation of language and culture...this is truly a big Vision, that Taos and our region
is invited to participate in...all because they invited two "regular" people
(Eric and I) who love and care for our community, our Life Ways, and our families, who are all inner-and inter-related and connected.
