Why we Speak

Prophecies

Don Alexandro, a thirteenth generation Quiche Mayan High Priest, dreamed of connecting Spiritual Elders in South America with those in North America. He sent the Staff from his family that they had held for many generations to the North to help North American elders unite. This occurred in 1999, in the canyon lands of the Canoncito Band of the Navajo Nation. From 1999 to 2000 for one year the North American elders kept the Staff of the Mayans, which was for them a guide to the ways in which they needed to unite with respect, knowledge, wisdom and courage of the people.

Then, in 2000, when the Staff returned to Central America, a new Staff was created from the heart of the canyon lands of the Navajo for the North American Elders Council, which has emerged as the Spiritual Elders of Mother Earth.
