Sacajawea

A quilt square stitched of new vision.

Excerpts from a 15-page letter to the future President.

[Sacajawea is the young American Indian woman who guided and supported a team of explorers committed to the westward expansion of America, as directed by President Thomas Jefferson in 1804.)

 “Jefferson’s vision was large! The routes planned across parts of what would become the United States and portions of two Provinces of Canada were designed to discover the peaceful coexistence of people of different heritages and cultures. These beautiful pockets of the Earth’s donation were purchased for people hungry to build lives that could use the incredible resources we discovered!”

Sacajawea describes the close bond between herself and those first white men and their complete reliance on spiritual guidance for their ongoing unity and shared vision. 

“Throughout each day of our journeys, I was in immediate and quite constant touch with our Great Spirit and guides from the spirit lands. They seemed to invisibly mark a pathway for us, and through telepathy and an inner sense and even a solid knowing for us to be on the lookout for particular trees that could act as our shelter or be points of our stability as we were told to skirt around some camps yet would be welcomed by others.”

In her letter to the future president, Sacajawea describes the importance of leaders on the physical plane, acknowledging and collaborating with the wisdom offered from the spiritual plane.

…“This is what both the earth and the spirit lands are shifting to make happen in a more advanced way of life. You, of earth, must ready yourselves. We, of the spirit world, must demonstrate how we can assist.”

Sacagawea also shares about the dignity she felt as a woman accompanying these white men, and in particular when they presented her to tribes they journeyed through as a ‘leader and guide.’

“I wore a sense of nurturing grace. .. And they could recognize that we came not in hostility or with a desire to burn their land and pillage their homes.

Later, after my death, I surveyed history and saw how women have a remarkable quality as peacemakers. The chance to see this in action will, hopefully, be something you consider strongly in the dilemma before you now, and the answers you will choose as you decide what to do about governance going forward.

She completes her story with a question for the future President,

“What do you think of the suggestion that women ‘warriors’ are needed now? Not in militant ways or for military advances. Not for sugar-coating the ways of the world, but to find the inner circle of their communion with themselves and the Great Spirit, or the spirit guides and angels who long to, as in my time, help us find new views internally and externally. To be ready to go to a new level of living in more than just one world/dimension,  and be ready for the shifts of the earth and the expansion of consciousness.”

 

She describes the great hope her people had in the past, having seen the wonders of their Great America or Turtle Island, as they described it.  Explaining the fact that they had already found the “greatness of life” and “gratitude for life” in the simplicity of working with tenderness and respect for their Motherland, she compares this experience with the current experience of the first Americans.  

“Many of the [Native American] reservations in this modern age are filled with the disparagement they feel for all that was lost. “ Speaking directly to Mr. Trump, she brings the message of how essential it is for him to find your own inner “great” Spirit. And your reflection of Our Great Spirit, yourself.

You were inspired that, in some way, your Quest was about Making America Great Again. May I tell you, Mr. Trump, America has always been great, for it was settled and inhabited by people who walked along her backbone ‘mountains’ and swam in her waters, making peace with the inhabitants of its waters and its land. There is greatness in her diverse landscapes and peoples. Those who were born here and those who traveled here with their own dreams and Quests. America’s greatness was in being loved and cared for.”

Sacajawea ends her message with a prayer to God/the Great Spirit that the future President will be “covered” and guided by God. An excerpt of this prayer is below.

“Oh Great Spirit ….  Let us not speak of our small (perspective) looking backward to emphasize the Quest and Dreams for our soon-to-come tomorrows, but instead, see ‘Yours’, -that of the world awaiting and accepting an invitation into the society of ‘humanity’s life’ in a much different way than ever before. The long-reaching, long-lasting newness for the entire Earth.”

…The Quest and Dream You have (Great Spirit) are not about governance from any deceit or anger or revenge but based on the convergence of peoples—not just those who can see and hear through the use of mouths and eyes and hearts.  But those who can sense one another more deeply and hear the music of the soul of a brand-new Earth. To begin to visualize the dance You wish to create for peaceful coexistence on the lands now, as a beginning of this ballet of dancing in two worlds—the world of the visible and the world of the invisible in communion, walking more closely together.”
