THIS PAGE transform into new ways of honoring the sacred and diverse gifts of life and life-ways of 8neness practiced by those who choose to walk in a sacred
manner in harmony with Mitakuye Oyasin - all our relations.
As this web site grows, a
page will be dedicated to enlarge on each of the following principles,
listing those individuals and the web sites of those "St8newalkers" who define, believe in, support
and walk in these life honoring ways and those who have "walked back" the
abundant gifts of Stone Nation to support this web site and these ancient
and wise principles.
By returning a portion of the abundance
of stones (gold, silver, precious gems, lumber, minerals and oil
torn from the Treaty Lands and shipped to bless bank accounts and
financial institutions around the globe) St8newalkers show their support
in practical ways towards the traditional people of this land (legal
treaty holders) who still struggle to keep their culture, language, and
traditional life ways alive .
We are made of the "stuff"
of stones, of "star stuff", therefore HOW we live our lives, speak,
think, behave, and act is a large way of "honorably walking" the stones.
The tongue in our shoes
"speaks", just as the beauty of stones "speak" - louder in a vibrant,
intimate and silent way, and often more truthful than words...
