Hopi Law of Life AND L/L Law of One

[Diana]

With respect:

I am not an official Hopi representative, and not all Hopi agree with sharing this knowledge
 

S.M.C has 25 years of cultural/political interaction with Indigenous of Australia; 7 years with Indigenous of USA/Canada;
and has been very clearly and firmly taught:
- to never share what is not unanimously agreed to be shared.
With sacred knowledge, one objection is sufficient - for silence.
Permission is necessary. Protocol keeps culture safe, uncontaminated.

- too much has been taken/stolen from Indigenous already.

Not having personal connection with Hopi but with much knowledge of cultural issues/politics/white appropriation of Hopi from Indigenous activist friends connected to Hopi; S.M.C understands the rifts in Hopi world enough to see that these rifts 'allow' some Hopi to approve your adopted identity and your feeling Hopi sacred information should be 'shared' - but this doesn't allay concern at your posting here (and elsewhere).

Put it to you that you come here for self promotion.
Have been taught to take a stand on this.
Indigenous Lore/Law requires respect and PERMISSION.
Unfortunately this response is 'gatekeeper' but is not intended to be hostile to (or a whole picture of) you.

I, for one, would like to hear your response to these comments, Hohongwitutiwa. 

While I personally would prefer transparency, arguments can be made for keeping certain knowledge secret. I don't fall on either side of the fence, however. I am interested in all theories and certainly appreciate all indigenous teachings.

I definitely have questions for you, but could you first let us know your thoughts on SMC's comments?

Edit: I see SMC has altered his/her comments. So anyone seeing this post please refer to the edited version of SMC's post above.
