Il vero testamento di Robert Redford è nel suo legame con la terra. Questa è la storia dell'anello che lo simboleggia

When you're looking at a #Hopi pot like this one, you can't just look at the designs, yo have to look at the whole thing-maybe its shape reflects the full moon. Our people a moon-watchers and pinpoint time this way, so the lighter and darker parts of the po depict a moon at its halfway point

Technically still Halloween, the wee ones are in bed, clutching their tummies with dread, and we can talk about something really scary: The End Of The World! (insert spooky music here.)

Some say the #Hopi people have a legend that says when the Blue Star returns, it will bring about the 5th age, and end our current one. As #3iatlas was nearing the sun (and doing some weird stuff), it started glowing blue. The End is Nigh!

Or so some folks would like you to believe. Only, none of it is true. The "Hopi blue star" legend was started by a white dude in 1963. I would like to point out the sheer volume of indigenous culture white dudes in the 60s appropriated, modified, rewrote or completely invented.

This "rapture-esque legend" has no written or oral record before novelist Frank Water's Book of the Hopi.

So, despite our best and fervent wishes, I don't think we're going to get Giant Meteor 2025 to end this nonsense for us.

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, October 16, 2025

WINDOW ROCK, Navajo Nation -- "Navajo Police were sent today to evict Marley Shebala, Dine' Zuni Pueblo reporter, from her home. Marley, 73, screamed in pain as she was arrested by police. Marley had filed an ethics complaint against Navajo President Buu Nygren, and was reporting on the ongoing #corruption in the Navajo tribal government.

" 'I am 73 years old, and they have me handcuffed in my home with my daughter, our Navajo police, to
serve and protect' Marley says, as she continues to livestream. Navajo police used a locksmith to enter her home, before the violent arrest."
