		<description>Hello!  This is the first time I have visited this website and I must say I am loving it!  I have been toying with the idea of starting an organization that practices and teaches all aspects of sustainability and I stumbled upon this website while searching Google. I am moved, really..  goosebumps!  Its SO exciting to be a part of such a world wide family of earth conscious, spiritually driven friends and neighbors!  I only pray that I may be a part of the movement to help reduce and erase our footprint and leave a legacy for the youth of out future.  God&#039;s will.</description>

		<description>Hummingbird in flight above my burning heart
I still feel the heat your nearness brings
The tears you spilt to ease my heart when parting
I wept to wash the fire from your wings

I am in tears right now I must confess
Though numb from years of trying to disguise
A child&#039;s heart within a muscled chest
And keep his fears well masked behind dry eyes

I fear the dying of the Earth&#039;s begun
Though in Her mind its just the winter&#039;s come
Perhaps
In which the loss of children&#039;s lives
Is one more storm within near endless skies

I do not believe the sky will fall
Though I know not of our Creator&#039;s fears
It may well be He&#039;ll need the stars and all
To mask the falling of His tears

So let us love my love while love we might
For we may be the tears the spirits weep
That burn as hearts on fire through the night
Then fall as stars when at last we sleep

SING TO LOVE

I sing to love remembering sacred truth
to know our hearts as burning wombs of youth

to burst in light the knowing ever more
that transformation keeps our conscious spores

the mushrooms, fruits the flowers, life and birds
all creatures of this yearning female birth
she lies in wait as sun does always shine
and dries her tears when winters cold has stung

to see the sparrow frozen on the branch
or children, flies amass amid the stench
we humans know we know the way of truth
and yet allow our women&#039;s suffering youth

a youth of culture america, melting down
until the earth heart warriors pound us round
until the mass of heart is mush and worn
before us as our hearts from chests are torn

we never knew the gold would turn to dust
until our children got this in their guts
that culture, mainstream pathways let us down
when looking to shelter our children from the grounds
of corporate eyes that look the other way
when america begins to fade away

the truth be told, and never do we part
to know the ways of every human heart

we wish to grow with her, our mother earth
protecting, cherishing knowing
of her mirth
and wisdom giveing homes and shelter new
&#039;for every one who wishes to be true

never has she ever let us down
from shelter, food to cultures healthy shrouds
of mourning that which dust has always claimed
and nature as our mother never shamed

to live with her, and share the bounties fruit
to never need the mainstream neighborhoods
to know your village people from the heart
and never in our lives let that love part

wild, the heart of nature always lives
in humble landscapes harboring her kids
all the creatures plants and humans, ALL
living lives of loving natures call

this worship leads to peace and human needs
being shown the kind way through this all a maze

we know today that good thoughts take us home
to the land where always nature roams
as healthy, vibrant worshiped by our love
so every human being knows this dove

PEACE the only way to humble truth
and truth the only door to teach our youth
so now allow the presence of this day
to shelter/show and lead us on our way...</description>

		<description>The pictures are at the end of our welcome page. Leolas house is described and shown to be a learning curve project. Discovering how to support folks who as you know have thinking disorders and mobility issues due to the violence of oppressive and restrictive reservation lifestyles can be a challenge even when the whole community invites you to come support, this is not always what happens. Leola received vehicles, groceries, much much much in the way of support and building materials, and even tho we explained and supported and kept coming back to redo what was undone in our absence, WE ALWAYS will love Leola and continue to work on finding people willing to finish her house. 

Volunteers do not have endless bank accounts and years set aside to help folks with various serious  disorders of all kinds. Even Tho I wish it could be this way. Leolas project caused us to realize we HAD to found not only a non profit, but a whole delivery system if we are going to do anything at all to help her WHOLE community (and not JUST Leola!!!)</description>

		<description> We paid for the repair and activation of her well, taping into an aquafer that runs under the entire reservation. All of us drank that water, taking the risk right along with Leola and the rest of the community. No one had any problems from drinking this that I  know of, and one summer or two summers of this wont show much anyway...

WE DID help Leola...and we definately never raised money that was not used specifically for her and her house in anyones name but our own...Leola may you heal deeply and undertand how well loved you really are.</description>

		<description>I am curious as to why there are no finished pictures of the earth home that was being constructed in wounded knee for leola one feather?  It seems to have been quite a long time, over 4 years and still it is not being worked on.  It is interesting too that the hummingbird women you are promoting are advocating clean water and leola is still without water, knows more about contaminated drinking water than most engineers and is suffering from h.m.t. poisening, i wonder who is helping her?  Are you still collecting funding in her name to build, because i do not see that she has received any help and that mismanaged funds and miscommunication seem to be at large for finishing this project...any information would be appreciated or financial disclosures.  

~ Johanna *you can view our 990 at the Guidestar site. WE are as ligitimate as is possible and as transparent as we can be. There have been no miscommunications here. After our last trip out with our Architect we determined that we did not have the ability to continue working to meet with Leolas ideas of her needs.

~ Admin: YOU ARE VERY MISINFORMED, my freind. Sorry to hear you believe this. YES, it is true that Leola is very sick. WE did everything in our power to help. The rest is up to her. There have never been undislcosed amounts of money, and Leola received everything possilble and nobody ever raised money in her name. NV does its own fund raising, and in our own name. ALSO see the comments on the reality that we did reactivate her well for her, and met with all of her requests, actually. Unfortunately these requests change frequently and got mixed up with misinformation.  Namaste. </description>
