Phoenixfire’s vision started in the ’90s’ in New York City. During that time, many wisdom-keepers shared with me the original sacred intent of America: people of all different colors were to come to the West and meld their wisdom with the Indigenous Native Peoples of this continent to become whole human beings--balanced in spirit, soul, mind and body. Then the new millennial opened and we felt it was time for change. We moved home; to my roots-our sacred and sovereign homelands of the Aaniiih and Nakoda Nations of Turtle Island (Fort Belknap Reservation surrounded by Montana, USA). It is here where Phoenixfire has taken flight.
We as Indigenous Native Wisdomkeepers & World Peace Changemakers are giving a voice and movement for Mother Earth and Indigenous Native Peoples to the reach the outside world by honoring Mother Earth’s sacred sites producing sacred journeys and wellness retreats and multi-media content to bring forth World Peace in our lifetime.
As part of this, we as Phoenixfire:
Phoenixfire is a charitable organization, Voice for Mother Earth and Indigenous Native Peoples and World Peace Movement.
We as the Keepers of Mother Earth honor the sacred feminine of Mother Earth, Women and Girls to restore our natural harmony with the Universe; to empower, educate and inspire the evolving fusion of ancient people’s wisdom with present day living and voice to the world, “We Are All Related” for World Peace for generations to come.
HONOR THE SACRED FEMININE OF MOTHER EARTH, WOMEN & GIRLS i.e. Societies: Women’s Gathering ⌾ Star Sisters, Talking Circles, Sacred Sites, Sacred Journeys and Retreats, Voice for Indigenous Native Peoples and World Peace Movement (Cultural Exchange) etc.
It is critical that we have meaningful support, connection and discussions with our local and global communities on paradigm shifts of consciousness.

The Population figure of Indigenous Peoples in the America before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus have proven difficult to establish…..Most scholars writing at the end of the 19th century estimated that the pre-Columbian population was as low as 10 million; by the end of the 20th century most scholars gravitated to a middle estimate of around 50 million, with some historians arguing for an estimate of 100 million or more. Contact with the Europeans led to the European colonization of the Americas, in which millions of immigrants from Europe eventually settled in the Americas. Source: Wikipedia
“Thus, according to Ward Churchill, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado, the reduction of the North American Indian population from an estimated 12 million in 1500 to barely 237,000 in 1900 represents a vast genocide . . . , the most sustained on record.” By the end of the 19th century, writes David E. Stannard, a historian at the University of Hawaii, native Americans had undergone the "worst human holocaust the world had ever witnessed, roaring across two continents non-stop for four centuries and consuming the lives of countless tens of millions of people.” Source: Article Commentary Magazine: “Were American Indians the Source of Genocide?” 2004 by author Guenter Lewy contributor to ”Commentary,” since 1964 & for many years taught political science at the University of Massachusetts.
The nation's indigenous people had a population of nearly 10 million before European settlers explored America. Their numbers began to fall rapidly shortly after that due to war and diseases brought by the settlers. Native Americans faced centuries of persecution and discrimination, losing their land and resources and being forced onto reservations that lacked the soil and natural resources needed to build and sustain their communities.
Today, Native Americans still face threats from federal and state governments related to land-use and resource extraction. Native Americans have the highest poverty rate of any major racial group, with one in four people living below the poverty line.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the current total population of Native Americans in the United States is 6.79 million, which is about 2.09% of the entire population. There are about 574 federally recognized Native American tribes in the U.S. (World Population View .com)

The Phoenix is a universally known, sacred bird living in the desert. Every 500 years the Phoenix cries a beautiful song and bathes in the water of a well. The Phoenix builds itself a nest in a tree and is consumed into flames. A new Phoenix is reborn from the ashes and flies to Egypt; symbolizing life, rebirth, renewal and immortality.
Phoenix is a constellation in the Southern Sky.
“The Whirling Rainbow is the promise of peace among all Nations and all people. The Rainbow Race stresses equality and opposes the idea of a superior race that would control or conquer other races….brings peace through the understanding that all races are one. The unity of all colors, all creeds working together for the good of the whole, is the idea that is embodied….When all pathways to wholeness are respected by all cultures, the prophecy of the Whirling Rainbow will be completed.”
-Manataka American Indian Council
“I was seeing in a sacred manner the shape of all things in the Spirit, and the Shape of all Shapes as they must live together like one being and I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy."
"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."
“Let us put our minds together to see what life we can make for our children” -Sitting Bull (Tatanka Yotanka)
“Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. The sap which courses through the trees carries the memories of the red man.” -Chief Seattle (Si?al)
”Whatever the earth, befalls the sons of earth, if men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the Earth.” -Chief Seattle (Si?al)
A very great vision is needed and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.”
I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole earth will become One Circle again.
