This inspirational story of survival and empowerment is intertwined with countless resilient warriors who've also overcome the most poignant of challenges. Out of the darkness, we arise. We are not just survivors. We are Pathfinders. We lead the way into reconciliation and healing with our sacred Mother Earth. Guided by the white buffalo, our ancestors, and the prophecies of our Indigenous Nations, we are the children of the stars, and we remember who we are. It is time for all to unshackle their chains and realize their limitless, multidimensional powers. We are here to assist. We must stand in full truth, love, and connection, because Mother Earth has begun her ascension. Soon, is our time to thrive, but first we must survive this time of chaos and confusion.
Written by Stephanie Big Eagle, Thunderbird Rising is her memoir of Reconnection, Resilience, & Empowerment that is intended to serve as a survival guide through this time of chaos and confusion, from her own experience. It is also a reminder that no matter what you may be going through, you are not alone.
