TECHQUA IKACHI:  Aboriginal Warning (2006) is dedicated to Hopi elders James Kots, Helen Kots, Nora Monogye, David Monongye, Thomas Banyacya, Carolyn Tawangyama, Ralph Tawangyama, and Dan Katchongva.  They requested a film be made about the Hopi prophecy.  For many decades, the Hopi and Dineh have been protesting against mining on their sacred Black Mesa, and like many indigenous peoples, the Hopi traditionals prophesize that extracting oil and minerals from Mother Earth will bring disaster.

 

>Part One:

      history documentary AUTOBIOGRAPHY  OF A HOPI

 

            In this short, James Kots describes his life from reservation to government

            school to hard times to war and back home to the traditional way of the farmer.           

            The Hopi philosophy is the indigenous way of life close to nature.

 

>Part Two:

     prophecy docudrama EARTH SPIRIT

 

            In this feature story, indigenous people resist the exploitation and pollution

            of their land by oil and mining interests.  A teen gone wrong in the city is drawn

            back home to help defend the land of his ancestors.  Their prophecy, like that                            of the Hopi and many others, warns that violating the earth will bring disaster.  .

This film advocates social action with a spiritual consciousness.

 

We began with our documentary AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A HOPI (1970), but the reservation police stopped our filming.  Years later in California, we completed EARTH SPIRIT, which does not mention the name Hopi nor the name Native American nor the name American Indian because it offers to speak for many indigenous peoples, but the film came into being because of those Hopi elders’ request and plays like a docudrama from Hopi-land, speaking their prophecy.

 

As in modern expressionistic drama, as well as in classical drama of many cultures, the story and the characters are representative–in this case, representative of similar stories from many peoples around the world.  Among sites of recent protest demonstrations are Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, Florida, the Dakotas, Alaska, India, Australia, Thailand, Canada, Columbia, Tibet, the Arctic, Russia, Burma, Chile, Brazil, Guatemala, Madagascar, Mexico, Indonesia, the Philippines, and thousands of demonstrations in China.  Civil wars over oil have erupted in Sudan and Nigeria and Pakistan; mass murders in Ethiopia.  Many other conflicts are not reported.  There is no organizational link between these peoples.  What they have in common is the despoiling of their lands for the benefit of others.
