Welcome to Flicker's DrumBeat




Dear Friends

Welcome to LUTEA's first Blog.  Flicker's Drumbeat.  The sacred Flicker for many California Indigenous communities drums out the heartbeat of Mother Earth's seasons.  Many times I would suspect the Flicker is our timekeeper and reminding us to keep our schedules aligned with our Great Mother Earth's.
It is an honor to launch this blog page in support of an Indigenous approach and perspective in service work and healing work LUTEA facilitates and advocates.
In addition, LUTEA seeks to influence ethical History,  Arts and Culture of the Earth's Indigenous peoples and communities across the Globe.
It is the interest of the LUTEA Board of Directors that our present service work generates within Del Norte and Siskiyou Counties of Northern California.  We also have plans to venture service into Curry County Oregon and Jacksonville Oregon.  However, we are all made up of Indigenous ancestors and connections that take us across the globe as well as we have colleagues and associates that have the expertise and wisdom of aboriginal cultures we wish to feature, to honor and to share that can enhance all lives.
We've moved from Siskiyou County to Del Norte County and continue to bring our service Wellness Groups and Healing Talking Circles. We also will like to offer wisdom and inspiration with Indigenous Artists and musicians, and Elders.  As well as the interconnected aspects of all life from the Eyes and Voice of Indigenous Peoples.
We are calling this Spring's Blog series a Time to Bloom, as LUTEA is Nelumbo Lutea the largest Indigenous North American Wildflower Lotus and all life when living a good life, Hinaak Towis Hennak .. Blooms.
We are introducing a monthly podcast Our Ancient Lands https://anchor.fm/our-ancient-lands and if anyone that is an Indigenous (a cultural advocate for your own Indigenous heritage) artist or musician would like to promote and share your work please contact us for a feature spot for a future segment in our series.
Also if anyone has questions on Indigenous subject matter and would like us to illuminate in an episode please contact us.
We are excited to reach out to muyye ma 'inniiko, All Our Relations.
