Sacred Records Application
For the past year I have sought to improve my employment conditions and find my way back into the IT field. In the meantime, I have been working a part time job. Seeing the need for a book reader app like unto the LDS Gospel Library, I decided to create a mobile app using the React Native CLI platform with a Node JS server. The application works on both IOS and Android phones and is near complete. I have placed in the application a book called “The Sacred Tree” – a book on the Medicine Wheel. I am currently adding “The Code of Handsome Lake” – a Haudeshaunee Story about the Seneca Prophet who was a contemporary to Joseph Smith. Of all things, he was taught by three messengers, plus a fourth who had markings in his hands. He taught the people that if they did not end their dependence on alcohol, they would be destroyed. Some listened to him, some did not. I also desire to place an early edition Book of Mormon in the application. And now to my surprise, the 800 page or so Copper Record from the Annisanaabe record keepers is going in the application. As I have not read the contents of the record, I cannot comment on what is in it. However, it will be the first publication of the records coming from the record keepers of the 8th Fire Lodge. There are many other books I wish to add also – such as the Gospels of Nicodemus, Mary Madeline and Joseph of Aramethea. Many of the books will cater to people wanting to learn about the indigenous religions and history. Many of the books will be about strengthening knowledge of the Peacemaker. Adding all of the content is in reality a tall order and I could use financial help.
Chief Midegah is really pushing for the 800 page Copper Record to be brought in the app as quickly as possible.
8th Fire Lodge Ceremony
The Eighth Fire Lodge is hosting a week long event with a Vision Quest fast and Lodge Teachings. This is an opportunity for many of us to be taught in the Midewiwin lodge by the Elders. The link to the event is found here – https://www.act4477.ca/. I intend to attend this event and it is coming up soon. Chief Midegah is not expected to be there. It is an opportunity to learn what the record keepers have to teach us.
Meeting with the Rabbis
In November, there will be a meeting with Rabbis who are flying in from all over the world. This will be a week-long meeting. Not only have I been invited, I have also been asked to present at this conference. They are seeking evidence that the Jews were in the Great Lakes area anciently. There is actually a lot of material available to demonstrate this reality. It is absolutely amazing that I can present this to them.
Please support the work in whatever way you can by volunteer labor or by money which we very much need.
