Sacred Water- Hopi Traditional Teachings

Hopi sacred water teachings shared by Ronald Wadsworth, Hopi from Shungopavi Village in Second Mesa, Arizona. Zoom webinar May 18 2021

The Sacred Water Circle joined with others in hearing water teachings from Hopi traditional teacher Ronald Wadsworth.

The Hopi have lived and successfully grown crops in desert areas for thousands of years. This experience as well as their original instructions from the Creator, has been a catalyst for a sacred connection to water. Their knowledge and connection to nature is world renowed.

Ronald, or Lomatsikema (his Hopi name), is a member of the corn/water clan and is originally from Shungopavi Village in Arizona. He now lives with his fiancee in Flagstaff and is father to four children. He has been sanctioned by the Assembly of Hopi Chiefs to serve in the capacity of spokesperson for the Hopi Traditional Self Government and has done so for over thirty years. He also serves as an Advisor to the Hopi Tribe’s Cultural Preservation Department and serves on the Hopi Preservation Committee. He works as a Silversmith, a trade passed on to him by his father and maternal uncle, and as a Tour Guide in Sedona.

We enjoyed learning of Hopi history, culture, and beliefs from Ronald. View the webinar recording

She physically left us two years ago, but the memory and blessing of her spirit stays. Her birthday was on February 21st. The Sacred Water Circle met on the 23rd and we shared memories of her.

Tasha Beeds created a video in her memory on February 21st: For the Water…In memory with love. She participated in some of the Kawartha Lakes water walks and continues to walk for the water and plans to do COVID safe walks in the Sudbury area and along the Saskatchewan River.

2014 Sacred Water Circle Gathering

On May 2014 in Peterborough, Ontario, the Sacred Water Circle brought together notable Indigenous Elders and Spiritual Leaders from North and South America.

They shared their beautiful, wise knowledge on Water Teachings. Their message of hope and spiritual courage is an inspiration in our work towards a restored relationship between the human community and Nibi.
