On March 26, 2009, this video captured the DQ Coalition and the Black Berets tearing down a ceremonial site that was set up by others in preparation for the 2nd 20 day cycle on the ancient indigenous calendar system. In respect for both the people and the land on which D.Q. U. sits the elder mentioned here, Darryl Standing Elk, and Mr. Bill Wright were both notified and made aware of our intentions to build a Temazkalli, sweat lodge in the ancient mexican style of the chichimekatl. Mr. Wright offered words of advice and guidance. Mr. Standing Elk had refused to talk to his son-in-law or to me about the sweat we had requested from him. Later he refused to pour water for my son who called him to ask for a sweat and was told to take his ceremonies elsewhere. He did, with the positive response from the original people and a group of 20-30 other people they lit a new fire ceremony. An edited version of this film focuses on the contradiction and irony of these self appointed Tribal Police of D.Q. University, who claim to be her defenders and having not built anything in over a year, desecrate and destroy a ceremonial site. There is also a lot of accusations and disrespectful language directed at the adults in front of, above and around a six year old child, who wanted to share her feelings about the cocoon she was building. This is the complete video, by popular demand... with a bleep, or two!. DISRUPTING THE LOVE AT D.Q University
SAW VI THE GOONS RESURFACE AT DQ UNIVERSITY
On March 25, 2009, the day of the Jaguar, I got a call from Adrian a Mexika M.E.Ch.A. member, telling me that the D.Q. Coalition told them that if they, la Raza, did not take down their ceremonial center they were building that the D.Q. Coalition was going to tear it down and burn it down themselves.
He asked for advice and I told him not to take it down, that we would be there tomorrow to talk to them. When we got there, about noon, March 26, 2009, Rosa Martinez, Consuela Vargas, Lisa La Font, and Daryl Standing Elks two representatives named Chuy and Lo, black berets, were just finishing tearing down our ceremonial site. On March 6, 2009, we had initiated the ceremonies of the NEMONTEMI, the last five days of the year (on the most precise calendar system ever invented by humankind) at DQ University, just as we had announced months ago, to close off the old year and prepare for the new one. On March 7, 2009, my two sons Xe Koatl with his older brother Kozkakuautli, accompanied by their 92 year old grandmother, Josefina Rios Bustamante, lit the new fire ceremony at D.Q. U. on the second day of the NEMONTEMI at this site. They were very humble and accompanied by about 20-30 people including children, and a baby named KUAUTEMOK, adorable sweet, 10 month old. We are in the process of preparing for the return of KETZALKOATL, and we must be quick about it, not fast but quick, meaning we have to slow down because we are in a big hurry and we do not have time to make mistakes or do it over again. Many people worked on putting up and preparing the ceremonial grounds for the upcoming ceremony of TLAKAXIPEUALIZTLI, there they were happy and full of love and harmony and feeling like there was a place for them here at D.Q. U. The structure was almost completed when, encouraged by Consuela, doña Rosa and Lisa and ordered by Daryl Standing Elk to destroy our ceremonial grounds, his representatives arrived like the Goons we had heard and read about, that attacked their own people at the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations that led to the second Wounded Knee. My son Xe Koatl and I spoke to them and tried to make them see that this was not an attempt to disrespect anyone, only a step towards sovereignty where we could all live and respect each other.

so sad...I have such great memories about this school...people need to stand up, assertively if need be to defend what is sacred...those berets looked obese and out of shape..wouldn't take much...then send them two ladies back the way they came...whether this is right or wrong something needs to be done...complacency is a greater crime than the crime itself ...
