Hello Fam,
During the holiday season one begins to hopefully think of ways in which we can give instead of only receive. As most of you know I love sharing my culture, blessings, and hopes with my Steemit/Dtube friends and family.
On a special totem pole celebration in the four corners of the United States a master carver was present and explained ancestral oral history, song, prayer, and blessings. He even brought gifts of fresh cedar to share with us. Brother JEWELL is an activist and defender of natural lands as well as a teacher.
What I want to share with you is a few minutes of what I was able to experience as a way of giving to others who may never have had this very beautiful experience of sharing a way of understanding a different culture, perpective, and giving. May you have a lovely holiday season.
Thank you for being a large part of my everyday family and a special intention of peace, vibrant health, and prosperity goes out to you @whatsup, @steemitqa, @enchantedspirit, @immarojas, @nathanmars, @kawaiicrush, @grayson, @vladivostok, @clixmoney, @stokjockey, @friendly-fenix, @thedamus, @underground, @enginewitty, @saffisara, @wonderwop.
Disclaimer: If I missed you this round do not fret, more is coming.
Yours,
Eagle Spirit

soooo beautiful and FELT!!!! :) thank you ES!
Hey there brother so glad you are returning some love and hope you are all having a lovely holiday season. Blessings
I love this culture ... passed down through so many generations and most cultures text on iPhones during thanksgiving dinner ... have a lot to learn from this culture and not just drumming ... love the lower thirds too.... nice work :)
I think smartphones should be forbidden during any kind of ancient ritual... But then again it is really cool to be able to watch this, and it was most probably filmed with a smartphone... Dilemmas of the modern world I guess...
Hey @eaglespirit did you share this one before?
/FF
This was not an ancient ritual. This was a wAy of keeping tradition and sharing a song. Passing down history for my people. Filming during ancient ceremony is not allowed. For many of us sharing this is important especially amongst our own. I felt like sharing something this special because that is me. Not all of us are as paranoid about smartphones and realize we are being watched regardless 🤷🏽♀️
You already commented above, what are you doing? Is this the pseudo FF? What have you done with my Fenix? Bring him back and whomever you are go away
Hey @eaglespirit, it's the mead talking... ha ha, I was not criticising your work, I was answering/pondering on @vladivostok's comment, sorry I should have kept my beak shout...
@vladivostok
Me pondering, smartphones and ritual, and that this was really cool:
Sorry not a critique or hostility or anything like that, I was unthoughtful maybe, don't take me so seriously, you know I love your work, and most any old thing you do here on steemit...
Amigos again?
/FF
Hehe ya no worries, also making sure the proper info was out there. Many people might think this is an ancient sacred ceremony. Clue is this is a public place and the clothing. Most native Americans in sacred ceremony are in nature and half dressed or wearing traditional clothing. Some info is shared for public knowledge. Anything I share is what I can share. I’ve stated that in many of my posts.
Yeah, Okay, I understand @eaglespirit, thank you for sharing, sorry about the misunderstanding.
Keep it up, I like your posts and videos. Not sure what else to say I don't intend to provoke.
I can understand that there is a difference.
/FF
You’re good enjoy the holiday 🎄🎁
Leave it to me to start shit without intending to :)
okay, steemit is designed to trigger emotional and impulsive responses, especially if you are a bit drunk around christmas...

Thank you vlad happy holidays my friend
That was so wonderful. Thank you for that. I'm heading into a ceremony here in Taos at the Pueblo later today. They don't allow any photos/videos though, so won't be able to bring anything back other than maybe a shot of all the parked cars before I get inside.
Interesting. I was allowed! Have a great time. Also there is an area only open to public and another area for sacred ceremony only for native Americans. Now that part of the Rez is simply amazing. I found the place lovely and as long as one had friends and cred the vibe becomes magical. Taos overall is depressed which I found to be very sad for my soul.
hello my friend, thank you for sharing this with us, I feel very honoured to have seen it. I hope you have a lovely time over this festive season, me and my girls had a beautiful Solstice, much love xxxx
Hello there! So happy to see you and happy holiday season. So glad you had a great solstice. Wishing you and your fam a renewed and glorious new year.
i really like the way you are showing your culture to the rest of us. always innovative
Oh thank you so much for noticing and coming by to encourage. This means a lot to me.
Thank you Eagle. Listened with my mom. Enjoy the holiday season.
