Cal Nez
Cal Nez, a Navajo from the Tachiinii Clan grew up in a hogan—on the Navajo Nation in Tocito, New Mexico. He was raised by traditional grandparents who he credits for teaching him self-reliance and business sense by giving him a herd of sheep to tend when he was 12. Nez applied those lessons to his present venture, a Salt Lake-based graphic design and advertising that creates materials like brochures, exhibits, advertisements and illustrations for books and posters. Nez considers himself an artist that works in communications.
Today, there are about 450-500 Navajo-owned business, according to Navajo Nation list data. Of those, only about 25 have been in business 10 years, and only approximately five businesses (Cal Nez Design being one of them) have been around longer than 10 years.
Any changes for our people would have to come from within. We need to look within each of our individual selves. We need to strengthen our own wings. If a Navajo boy who grew up on the dirt floor of a hogan can make it in corporate America, certainly anyone with a belief in themselves can make it.

As a result, Sarah pursued Hypnotherapy, a therapy that uses the subconscious mind to change limiting beliefs and unwanted behavior.
Sarah became a Master Hypnotist in 2009 after which she trained with Dr. Brian Weiss to be a certified Past life Regressionist. From there Sarah went on to train with Dolores Cannon’s daughter, Julia Cannon, learning her specialized method called Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique.

Debra Emmanuelle
A life-long teacher and student of Life, with multiple degrees and certifications, Debra says, “Over decades of teaching and spiritual counseling in my healing practice and my classes and writings, what I have learned is that I really have never taught anyone anything they did not already know deep in their hearts. If we are born in Oneness with All that Is, as Spiritual Beings, who choose to have this physical experience, then our Earthly process is one of Awakening and Remembering the Sacred Wisdom that is within us and all around us. So… the evolution of my awareness and my Purpose has shown me that I am not a teacher, but a Remembrance Facilitator.
My greatest Joy is witnessing the spark of Remembrance of the innate Truth of our Origins, as that spark ignites into the Fire of Remembrance, and begins to burn through all that is needed to release and bring to the surface, the flow of our memory of the Sacred Waters within us – our unbroken connection to all that is Sacred. My deepest longing as an educator has evolved into an ongoing vigil of opening up and holding a Sacred Healing Space that births new opportunities every day to witness the emergence of Light within those who are ready to remember.”

“I made a promise sealed with tobacco to Chief Golden Light Eagle that I would help him with his videos. We planned to upload them to Social Media and monetize the videos.” Golden Eagle took his Journey home on July 19, 2021.
I now understand why the Star Nations wanted to continue the teachings under the name ”Knowledge From The Stars” .
