Thomas Banyacya, Sr. (1909-1999)
See Hopi Prophecy—A Timeless Warning by Toby McLeod:
My life path changed when I first heard Thomas’s message in 1978 during the fight against Peabody Coal Company’s stripmine on Black Mesa, when we started collaborating on The Four Corners: A National Sacrifice Area?
As messenger and translator for Hopi elders since 1948, Thomas Banyacya, Sr. (1909-1999) traversed the globe trying to help people understand the warnings revealed in the Hopi Prophecy. In November 1995, the Sacred Land Film Project followed Thomas to the Whole Life Expo in Las Vegas where he made two hour-long presentations over two days.
Background: Two events caused Hopi elders to call an unprecedented meeting in 1948: 1) the U.S. government’s creation of the Indian Claims Commission, designed to extinguish aboriginal title to land held by Native Americans by paying them money for lands “taken” but not affirming title to land or returning lands taken, and 2) the “gourd full of ashes” raining fire from the sky in the form of atom bombs dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These two events confirmed prophecies held by individual Hopi clans and when the elders met to discuss the meaning of these alarming developments, they selected four young Hopi men to serve as translators, interpreters and messengers to carry a warning to the outside world. The inventions and writings of the white man, aka "bahana" in Hopi, were now in such extreme violation of natural law and the instructions of the Great Spirit that Western technological/industrial society threatened all of humanity with the same apocalyptic fate that has met three previous worlds. Thomas Banyacya, Sr. was one of the messengers chosen to deliver the warnings and the positive call to action embedded in the Hopi Prophecy.

What's it like to see the world for the first time, with a fresh pair of eyes, from a completely different perspective? In this video, we'll be taking a look at one of the most profound films of the last several decades: Godfrey Reggio's experimental documentary and visual tone-poem 'Koyaanisqatsi' (1982). In order to understand what Reggio is trying to say through the film, we'll be examining the technical as well as contextual elements behind the project, particularly focusing on the influence of the Native American Hopi people and their mythology.
