Extraterrestrial Linkage: Native Communities and Cosmic Beings

The phenomenon known as UAPs, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, has been a topic of interest for many years, with recent developments bringing it back into the spotlight.

Retired Major David Grusch and several veterans have claimed to know the exact locations of UAPs held by the federal government. However, these allegations have been met with denials from the Pentagon, who state that they have no verifiable information about programs concerning extraterrestrial materials.

The federal government has received over 350 new reports of UAPs since 2021, and members of Congress view these incidents as a matter of national security. The variety of shapes and forms of these unidentified objects is vast, with one resembling a white Tic-Tac, and another appearing as a dark gray or black cube inside a clear sphere, as described by retired Commander David Fravor and former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves.

Indigenous communities have been aware of the existence of UAPs for thousands of years, as evidenced by ancient petroglyphs and oral traditions. Among various Native Nations, these beings were often called "Sky People," or "Star People." The Lakota people believe that most otherworldly beings are already knowledgeable about the toxicity of colonialism and are instead looking for what makes us human.

Indigenous reports of UAP sightings and interactions with seemingly alien creatures persist in Native communities to this day. Lakota holyman Black Elk related a UAP sighting during his vision quest, describing it as a concave, luminous disk operated by little people who could communicate telepathically. Another personal account involves an Oceti Sakowin (Dakota and Lakota) woman's daughter's friend claiming to have been given a ride by two extraterrestrial beings.

The Hopi believe their first home was in the Pleiades constellation, which they refer to as Chuhukon. The Cree Nation has legends stating that their ancestors arrived on earth as spirits from the stars. Traditionally, the Zuni believed they were related to a kind of Star People. These recognitions and their origins are documented in indigenous oral histories and anthropological studies conducted in regions of North and South America.

The Lakota have star knowledge passed down through generations, with each Lakota infant born with a spirit from a star. Upon death, the Lakota spirit returns to the stars, traveling through Wicakiyuhapi (The Big Dipper) and the Milky Way galaxy to be reunited with ancestors. This belief, Mitakuye Oyasin, transcends humanity, implying a universal connection with non-human intelligences.

The colonial viewpoint fails to grasp the possibilities of non-human intelligences present, as it is not universal and excludes non-colonial voices. The western world's investigation of UAPs and extraterrestrials without Indigenous perspectives may be short-sighted and incomplete. The Lakota belief in a universal connection with non-human intelligences offers a unique and valuable perspective in the ongoing investigation of UAPs.

Some extraterrestrials appear benevolent, while others are ominous, requiring a certain level of discernment. As the investigation into UAPs continues, it is crucial to consider the wealth of knowledge and insights offered by Indigenous communities, whose connections with these phenomena span thousands of years.
