May 3, 2026 Soaring Water Dream

I dreamed about a huge flood. It looked like three students were dead. My granddaughter came home and was safe, but I didn't see her at first. I went to the underground parking of a house where the water was up to my feet or knees. I was trying to help children get out of the water. It looked like an ocean with little kids swimming around, trying to reach safety. It was shocking and at first I could not believe it. Then, I slowly started to move to see what was happening.

There were three dead bodies floating in the water. I decided to leave them because I couldn't do anything to help. I went into another room to make space and see what was happening. Suddenly, the door closed very loudly and hard. Later, I realized I should keep the door open. There were kids in the other room with the bodies, and the water was coming in through a driveway.

I pushed the door open. A young lady I had seen before came back into the room looking very shocked. I felt bad because I knew the dead bodies were in there, but I let her go back anyway. I knew she would be scared, but I was in shock and acting on "auto-pilot."

Eventually, things settled down and my grandchildren were safe. Later, I was at home with my two grandchildren. I tried to call my sister, but no one answered. I started to panic, but I forced myself to calm down. I rocked my grandchildren to comfort them.

I wanted to heal them and bring their spirits back. When we experience trauma, our spirits can leave our bodies. I was reminded by the ancestors that high-frequency sounds help the spirit return. The ancestors talk to our spirit, they are the first thought we have when we ask. We can also lightly scrape a person's back to pull the spirit back, or massage the body pulling the spirit back. I didn't want to force it, so I just moved my fingers lightly down their spines over their clothes. Sometimes we need to leave our body to survive trauma, it’s natural. 

High tones are very healing. Many people want to hear those sounds. Frequencies can also be used, but the government sometimes stops sounds and healing reminders from reaching people as a form of control. Many people have forgotten how these tones help us live on Earth. Life is harder when our spirits are gone because healing takes longer, it’s meant to be a temporary measure. 

I really appreciate the brave people who sing using healing tones. They face judgment because of the fear created by those in power. I pray they are protected from hatred and anger and that angels help them feel our love.

On the West Coast, our Gitxsan people use deep, guttural sounds. Our deep tones drive away hate and anger. Our people are starting to find our sounds again. Different Indigenous groups have different healing sounds. My ancestors reminded me Our deep tones bring people together and make us fearless and strong.

In the dream, I couldn't sing the high tones because my throat was tired from harsh years of use. However, I tried to use the highest tones I could. Then, my dream ended.

Good things are coming, even death is good as our loved ones get to go home and leave this journey of suffering.

Feast of Lacking: A Dream of Shortages"

Dream Journal Entry: July 5, 2025 I had this dream where I was heading to Alaska for some reason I couldn't quite figure out. The area was totally unfamiliar to me, and I ended up walking a lot or taking the bus. My brother was with me for part of the journey. At one point, we stopped at this place that felt like an old reserve. There were kids running around playing, but they seemed pretty careless. They had riffles and were shooting at some targets they had set up and accidentally grazed a guy’s hand and nicked his back with a bullet. I thought he was lucky it wasn’t worse—just a couple of scratches. Eventually, someone stepped in and told the kids they needed to be more careful, and thankfully, they got the message and stopped. We were also in charge of hosting some business folks, who we brought back home for some meetings. There was a mix-up with our feast schedule; ours was supposed to start at 2 PM, but there was another feast happening before ours, so we ended up starting a...

Bear with hanging tongue

Image
The bear with the tongue hanging out of its mouth is not what you think.  Gather around, and let me share a story that carries the weight of our history, a tale that speaks of resilience and survival. Many people do not understand the significance of the tongue, often mistaking it as merely a feature of the bear. But there is much more to this story, one that we must keep alive as our Aboriginal stories, culture, and beliefs are too often appropriated for the profit of others. In our tradition, totem poles are read from the bottom up, with the tribe usually depicted at the base. It is important to note that the Gitxsan do not have a bear tribe. Instead, the bear symbolizes Russia, a powerful force that once threatened our lands. Long ago, the West Coast nations—including the Gitxsan, Nisga'a, Haida, and others—joined together to stand against Russia when they began to claim our traditional territories and take our people as slaves. Among those who suffered was a woman from th...

When the food drops

I learned a lot from my grandfather and my parents just by watching them every day. We didn’t talk much about spirituality; we just lived it. Spirituality runs deep in our upbringing; it’s something that flows through our blood and is passed down by our ancestors who have gone before us. Our beliefs aren’t fancy or dramatic—there's no fire and lightning, just the spirit. We used to respect all of life, knowing that spirits are present in everything, including ourselves. God is within us and beside us; every thought we have is a prayer. I should mention that medicine can be used for harm too. Thoughts filled with hatred can be prayers as well. Some people who mix their medicine with bad intentions are called Hel'dow'gwit, or witchcraft. Over the past 50 years, many Gitxsan have changed and evolved. Sweat lodges, which were once only for hunting preparation, are now spaces for prayers and healing. Traditional gatherings have transformed into Healing Circles where we talk abou...
