Novamation's Cross-Country Journey of Forgiveness

Prophecies

By 1600, it was clear that Native communities were badly damaged. A time for healing was needed, and three prophecies were made, each of which would signal one step towards the era of healing.


First, an Eagle would need to fly to the moon.


Secondly, a Spider would need to spin a web that wrapped around the world. Then, she would sing a song that would vibrate the web, spreading it to every nation.


Finally, a pure white Bison would be born. This is a condition that occurs in bison approximately once per every 10,000,000 births. Yes, that's ten million.

Eagle feathers were brought on board the shuttle, and successfully made the entire journey. "The Eagle has landed" is one of the most famous quotes of American history.


For the first time ever, you can speak to the entire world. We even call it "the web."




In 1994, a white bison was born in Wisconsin.
White Bison, Inc. was founded by Don Coyhis later that same year.

After 400 years, the time to forgive is now. The time to heal is now.

Overview

In 1879, an American genocide began with the founding of the first Native American boarding school in Carlisle, PA.

In 2009, the time has come -- not for vengeance, but for forgiveness. The time has come for a people to heal.

My Role

My name is Chris. I own and operate Novamation Studios, a video production company in northern Minnesota.

I have been given the rare honor of being asked to accompany White Bison on their 6,800-mile journey of healing, forgiveness, and wholeness. My job is to document every step of the way with video, photographs, recorded interviews, and writing.

Updates to this page will be as often as I can manage. Computer and Internet access may be irregular, but I'll do what I can.

Navigation

I consider this blog finished, and have no plans to make future updates.

Thanks to the seemingly-unfixable formatting of blogger.com, there are two hurdles to reading this site easily. First, older posts are archived and must be accessed using the links below. Secondly, the posts are printed in reverse-chronological order. They must be read from the bottom-up.

If anyone knows a way to change this, please let me know. As is, it's simply the shortcomings of a free service.
