I'm Hyapatia Lee, a Cherokee Blessed Woman. I studied for several decades with medicine men and women from many tribes. Several years ago I was elected Blessed Woman for the Lost River Band of the Cherokees where I began to share what I had learned. I have seen this information help countless people and I feel it is too important to be kept hidden any longer. In this TV series, I introduce you to Native Strength, a system for emotional balance and enlightenment that was given to us thousands of years ago by the Star People. We live on The Planet of The Children, as our ancestral family in the stars call it. Our immaturity as a species puts us at greater risk for self-destruction. Legends abound all over the western hemisphere of interactions with Star People. Pictographs on caves and rocks illustrate devices and experiences reported in tribal histories and traditions. The Native Strength path is shared with the help of medicine wheels that can be compared to the circles the aliens used in the movie Arrival to share information. Contributing to this campaign will help spread these important traditional teachings around the world and expand our television audience. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to bring happiness, health, harmony, humor, and hope to our world through the Native Strength path.
