In most of the Ways, she is a beneficent female, a mother figure who guides us children and can be trusted to stand up to coyote when he practices witchcraft or commits misdeeds.

The massive prehistoric ruins in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico comprise a complex ceremonial center, characterized by extraordinary astronomical alignments of buildings and roads, and elegant light and shadow markings. Nowhere in the canyon is this manifested more dramatically than at Fajada Butte with its “Sun Dagger”, an ancient laser system marking solar and lunar movement. In this painting, a council of twelve Anasazi men circle dance above the Butte. They are clothed in white eagle down cloaks, each with its own unique symbols signifying the individual attributes of its wearer. Every other member of the council faces in the opposite direction while using hand signals to indicated how he intends to use his particular energy.

Contemporary Peublo Indians continue to honor the spiritual significance of Chaco’s mysteries in our would today as descendants of the Chacoans.

Lying off the coast of Santa Barbara adjacent to Conception Point, the earthly birth canal through which are delivered American Indian souls, is the site of an equally remarkable place for the gray whale. The ocean floor drops off precipitously here, creating an undersea grand canyon forested with majestic kelp beds fed by volcanic vents at its bottom.. The whole scene is on an amazingly grand scale that is ideal for our huge gray whale, the closest relative to those ancient, unknown mammals who left the land millions of years ago in search of sanctuary and walked into the water. Here, in their own hot springs spa, the gray whale seems to go into a meditative state as he relaxes, suspended amidst the kelp, a practice which perhaps helps to account, in part, for his considerable longevity.
