Aliens have long been acknowledged by indigenous communities worldwide for millennia.

Extraterrestrial Connections: Native Populations and Off-world Encounters

In recent years, the Western world has been captivated by the increasing number of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) sightings, often referred to as unidentified flying objects. However, it's essential to remember that indigenous communities around the globe have been aware of these mysteries for thousands of years.

Among various Native Nations, these beings were often called "Sky People," or "Star People." For instance, the Hopi people claim their first home was in the Pleiades constellation, which they refer to as Chuhukon. Similarly, the Cree Nation believes their ancestors arrived on earth as spirits from the stars. The Lakota, on the other hand, believe each infant is born with a spirit from a star, their wanagi.

Indigenous communities have documented encounters with these anomalous phenomena through oral traditions and art. These experiences are deeply integrated into their cultural, spiritual, and historical narratives. In contrast, the Western world has only recently begun to highlight such encounters widely in the media, likely due to different cultural emphases, historical recording practices, and modern interest in UFO phenomena.

One such encounter was recounted by a Lakota holy man, Black Elk, during a vision quest. He described a concave, luminous disk with another disk above it, operated by little people who communicated telepathically. Another individual claimed to have been given a ride by two extraterrestrial beings who were polite and asked mundane questions for over an hour.

Not all encounters were as peaceful. Some Native communities have locations where UAP sightings are frequent enough to be expected at certain times of day. Personal accounts of these encounters among Native individuals include stories of extraterrestrial beings appearing human-like.

The Pentagon has denied allegations of possessing or reverse-engineering extraterrestrial materials. However, retired Major David Grusch has testified that he knows the exact locations of UAPs held by the federal government. Three veterans also testified before Congress about a potential government cover-up regarding aliens and their vessels.

The hearing was part of a push to recognize UAPs as a matter of national security. Retired Commander David Fravor and former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves discussed their personal sightings of UAPs. One UAP looked like a white Tic-Tac, with no visible means of propulsion, while another appeared to be a dark gray or black cube inside of a clear sphere.

As the investigation into UAPs continues, it is crucial to consider indigenous perspectives. The western world's current approach, without considering these perspectives, is shortsighted and incomplete, potentially excluding valuable insights. After all, the Lakota belief in Mitakuye Oyasin extends beyond humanity, transcending the connection to all living beings, including those from the stars.

When a Lakota person dies, their wanagi returns to the stars, traveling through Wicakiyuhapi, The Big Dipper. The Wanagi Tacanku (Trail of Spirits), The Milky Way galaxy, is where they are reunited with their ancestors. This belief underscores the deep connection between indigenous communities and the cosmos, a connection that has been forged over thousands of years.

In modern times, indigenous people continue to report UAP sightings and interactions with seemingly alien creatures. As we continue to explore the mysteries of the universe, it is essential to remember that indigenous knowledge and experiences provide invaluable insights into our shared cosmic history.
