Medicine Wheel Gatherings
Black Elks Vision for the Rainbow People
A native American visionary called Black Elk foretold the coming forth of a people who would fulfill some ancient prophecies. The Hopi Nation has held to this vision for centuries. Many books have been written about the Hopi prophecy and the Mayan calendar which predicts the world will end as we know it in 2012.
In honor of all these sacred visions, we honor the vision of Black Elk where he called all tribes and nations to gather together in peace and harmony as one people. This would honor the Great Spirit Grandfather, Father of all nations.
A gathering of Indigenous Elders was called in 1997 where the ones assembled came to consensus about holding an intentional prayer assembly at the same sacred ancient site in New Mexico until peace comes to the earth, or the new world emerges. By inspiration last summer, Summer Breeze, a/k/a The Midnight Writer was inspired to renew these gatherings at the Four Corners with Indigenous Elders, Hopi Elders, and representatives of the tribes of the earth who would answer the call of the spirit to be there.
Summer Breeze called these gatherings “Medicine Wheel Gatherings”. The purpose is to mend the sacred hoop. In Christianity, this means to heal the hearts of peoples, nations, kindreds and kings and come to gather in one heart and one mind. Basically, this is about love. This is about healing. The Medicine Wheel gatherings are about forgiveness and reconciliation of the past. It is about joining together as one people under God, Great Spirit, Wakan Tanka, to teach the way of unconditional love and peace. The Medicine Wheel calls the nations together to dance to the beat of the drum of the heart of Creator, and become one as Creator always intendedPosted on April 10, 2008
