We would like to invite you to be a part of something magnificent. One of the lessons we’ve learned on our journey to produce the award-winning script Sacajawea, The Windcatcher, the award-winning Moon Drake children’s series, and the award-winning book Crabtree: Lost Kids of Borealonon, is the importance of showing respect and honor toward Indigenous people and their rich history and cultural wisdom from around the world.
As a nonprofit for the Arts, Humanity Shines Organization is a 501c3 tax-exempt company dedicated to that quest (all donations are tax-deductible). In truth, we are all equal and indigenous to some place on the earth, yet racism still lives. But through everything we’ve collectively experienced many hearts are awakening to injustice and inequality. Those who are listening are being called to do the right thing for people – to give back and to lift-up others no matter where they live or the color of their skin.
The earth is rich with stories and legends from the Ages. Their wisdom has meaning and relevance to our time and for all people. It is to our advantage to listen and embrace the spiritual energy that guides many indigenous groups by protecting and respecting the Earth, Nature and the Universe. This exact energy guided the Ancients, and it will guide us today if we let it.
For generations, artists of all backgrounds have been fascinated with the creative elements of indigenous cultures. From artwork, to writings, to songs, to movies – the passion to share the powerful, timeless lessons is unstoppable and unbridled. Humanity Shines Organization is committed to that quest through our endeavors in 2026-27, and beyond.
A few years ago, I visited Sun Valley, Idaho, at the invitation of Leo Ariwite, our Shoshone liaison. While there I learned so much about the intriguing history of the area, both with the Shoshone people and the westward movement in the 1800s. Something prophetic stood out to me as I toured the magnificent Sun Valley Resort. This incredible town was built with Unstoppable Imagination… Someone had a dream, someone saw a need, someone believed in their vision, and the community and supporters rose to the Call.
With Humanity Shines on my mind, the Shoshone people, the protection of cultures, traditions and languages, our connection to one another and our unique heritages worldwide, I was reminded again that Sacajawea’s life was destined to shine a light and show a way to impact the world with the stories that ignite change – beginning with hers.
It has always been my belief that Sacajawea, The Windcatcher is to be a spearhead of this Love, Unity, Peace, Oneness, and Truth. We are the light we seek, if we seek it in ourselves!
