- The term 'red road' or 'canku luta' comes from the Lakota people and refers to the daily spiritual life. What does this mean to Rupert Encinas, Ba’ag Da, or Eagle Flying, who has served his people as a ceremony master for over 40 years, and what it means to people close to him?
Rupert’s spiritual name is Ba'ag Da, Eagle Flying, and he represents the spiritual lineage of his people, which goes back all the way to stories of creation. His tribe's native name is O'Odham, meaning Human, and he comes from the San Xavier Reserve near S-cuc Son (nowadays Tucson).
In 1975, Rupert met with the Tatanka Ohitika, or Brave Buffalo, a Lakota spiritual leader. He also instructed Rupert through his first sweat lodge ceremony and his first Sun Dance. Since then, Rupert has deliberately participated in the Sweat Lodge ceremonies, Pow-wow meetings, Sun Dances, Native American Church ceremonies etc. He has been following this sacred path faithfully to this day and has also revived many old ceremonies.
The video is recorded on September 19, 2019 in Lilleoru, Estonia.
I got invited to a Peyote Ceremony.....back in the 80s....... by some Diné who I met... I was living in Apache Junction AZ..I got to experience a real Miracle......... They told me, where to go, to find it, and it was a drive from my place....... almost halfway to Phx.......... I found the old store gas station, to turn off the highway on, to a dirt road, which had no name...... From there I followed the directions the best I could, to look for "a pile of rocks", "a cactus", etc...... turning both left and right, in the desert , on many criss-crossing dirt paths, and as it got dark, despite the full Moon, and beautiful clear night.....I realized I was quite far from the road, and , basically, "lost"...... I had my trusty Jeep, so I was not worried, but the thought of running out of gas, WAS a concern.... I decided, at around midnight, to give up trying to find the little trailor and Tipi I was to look for, where the Peyote Meeting was taking place, and to search the paths, to make my way back to the paved road, before I ran out of gas...... Hours of driving...crawling, through the dark desert night, lost, took up a LOT of gas, and I looked at my gauge constantly....., not thinking that I had enough to get back to my place...and indeed, I felt that I was NOT even going to make it back to the paved road...... I imagined myself, walking back to the road, through the dark desert at night, and having to flag down a passing car, etc to try go get my Jeep, with a gas can, go to the gas station, if we could find one that was open..... then, drive far far out into the desert, to find my Jeep... lost, down on some windy desert dirt path.....miles into the desert...Not an easy task..lol........ Well, it turned out, I made it out of the desert, and I got back to the paved road, it was about 2am....and my gas was almost gone.... I headed down the road, to see how far I was going to get towards Apache Junction, about 30 miles away...... I was the only car on the road...... I drove, slowly, hoping not to use too much gas..... My gauge was going down, down, down, looking like it was going to run out very soon....... I knew FOR SURE I was not going to make it back to my place....Impossible... I drove on....... As I drove, I prayed, that I would somehow make it back..... and not run out of gas..... I drove on... As I drove, I looked at my gas gauge...... It was starting to do something strange, it started going UP ......UP.....UP...... instead of down down DOWN.........Up up and up it went, all the way, as I drove, it went UP more.....and more , and more.... I pulled up to my place, in Apache Junction, about an hour later, and as I pulled in the driveway, I looked at my gas gauge, and I saw that it was now EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS when I had first left my place earlier that night, almost FULL...after driving for about 70 or 80 miles.........You can call it what you want, I call it "a MIRACLE".....If you really NEED A MIRACLE in your life, seek out the Peyote Ceremony..... REAL MIRACLES HAPPEN from that Ceremony...... When I talked to the guys later the next day , who invited me, telling them that I was lost etc, they all told me, that they saw me out there, driving around, out in the desert, lost......, and they KNEW I needed some prayers, so they prayed for me..... that night... Their prayers were heard and answered..... I got to experience a REAL MIRACLE and I never even got to go to the Ceremony.....THAT IS HOW POWERFUL IT IS......
You know this experience reminds me of the experiences people talk about having going to Babaji' s Cave in a Mountain side.😊❤
Lakotah/Easter Cherokee here proud to walk the Red Road. My Ina always ran on Indian Time. Whenever she arrived …..she was on time. Time is a made up concept of white man. To him everything must have a construct. I am in Washington State near the Yakama Rez. I do ceremony and sweat with them. ❤️🙏🌹
Bullshit. Stop making it about race, you who are already dead.

May ut be beautiful here my great spirit from my thoughts out the east dawns the great light! It has become beautiful again! Walk that beautiful path
My first sweatlodge ceremony, inipi, was with Wallace and Grace Black Elk in 1979. To this day, it was the best spiritual experience I have had.
I was in Papason's, Tantanka Hecate's lodge in Oregon. He gave me the right to pour water and I did so for the Women's Penitentiary in Oregon, plus along the West coast Native American Drug and Alcohol Rehabs, if a medicine person couldn't make it.
I received my pipe through the lineage of Frank Fools Crow, through Evelyn Eaton, through Rhio Gabriel. I went to a few of Thomas Mails workshops who wrote about Fools Crow. Fools Crow told him," I've been waiting for you".
I sat with Bearheart many years. 2 vision quests, sweats, and Native American church. He had me come by train to work on him several times before he took his journey.
Was it Wallace the vagabond that Wally was named after by any chance? Just curious.
@@christinelaloba8869 I don't know.
@@karenshunatona3961 thank you
Beautiful presentation! The Red Road is our only hope of survival of our species. Bless you, Mr. Encinas. I am honored to hear your message.
I have walked the black road and I’m ready to walk the red road now. I love hearing all your ways and beliefs and I believe in the great spirit and that we are all connected. Our minds are sick. This is a blessing in a sick world. Thank you for sharing..🦅
Very much appreciated the singing/drumming as well as the spoken words from this precious man. Brought tears to my heart watching him sing. What I took away from this was the words re forgiving the unforgivable.....anyone who knows that is the red path would be stupid to consider such a civilization primitive. Thank you for making it possible to sit here at home in my old age, alone, yet be able to get my spirit fed.

Charles Eastman's autobio I had the great fortune to find. A treasure in my chest of many ❤
Yes ❤
The only thing left or what Great Spirit gives me is the Red Road. Will of Creator for Me. I am blessed - I love Lakota. I too am backwards - forward 😆🤣😊😇
Wow, learned so much. Love that they keep everything positive and don't focus on Satan or the negative. So much wisdom, if everyone practiced this, the world would be a much better place!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. So much love to teach and share. Wopila Waste.
Beautiful wisdoms, I am grateful and humbled, blessed by Grandfather's for sharing the truthful ways, I pray for this knowledge. ♥️🤲🙇♀️
Thank you so much Rupert, also for visiting my place here and telling the story of your journey
to Estonia. I would like to see the valley of flowers too.

I take nothing for granted
I feel like I finally came home. I have endless gratitude for sharing this wisdoms. Its truly the only way to finding inner peace. I pray all of humanity find the red road, and make your red road as wide as you possibly can. We never walk alone, blessings to all . Thanks to Creator and Creation, everything is connected, and everything needs everything. ❤
Thank you! I learned so much! We have been doing land healing and our ancestors have us using native songs in our ceremonies singing the Strong Woman song, the Honoring Women song, Honoring Man song, the Traveling song and the Water Song. I hope we learn more from what you share here! Blessings to you my brothers for your very sacred work and your Sun Dancing and teachings. I have been looking for a teacher to learn mor and came across this teachings. I send prayers to all my relations!! Aho!
You shouldn't play with things you don't understand
Mitakuye oyasin hambeday eneepee wah peeyay hootah wakan chan duh hoopah tunkan yah hey hey yah hey hoka hey yah ate
God is Good and God is Great is the first and Great Spirit commandment. Love thy neighbor as thy Self and Do Not Cause Your Children Wrath . On these two commandments hang all the others
God being great implies the greatness upon the soil and waters and trees and animals upon which we depend. They are sacred and meant to be included as relations because God is good just as the rain falls upon all.
Thank you Rupert I do believe in kindness to others I enjoyed this.
Thank you my brother! I have a past that was hidden from me and my people too. We will live again soon! Lightfoot
Such a kind man 😊
God Bless you Brother. God Bless Don Coyhis - without you I would have no purpose in earth or in heaven ❤
Both of you❤❤
Thank you sir.
Makes you think,nice man.😊
I am Heyoka so I live what you say about Thunderbeings and they told me too
Thank you, teacher.

The Red Road, I agree, can mean many things.
One way I see it is based on Mexicayotl & Toltecayotl, which taught me that our life is like the path of the sun, we rise out of the darkness at birth, and fall back into it at our planting. We have no roots like trees that keep us attached to Mother Earth while we live as people.
An important thing I find about the Red Road is that it says to me that we are on a journey.
Also, if you notice, at dusk and even more so at dawn there is a red hue in the sky.
My ancestors taught me that blood is what holds the suns energy in us, as well as that our energy returns to the sun when we rest and evolve (aka in western thought as dying).
The Red Road, it is a slippery path where we can fall into the thorns when we go too far to the right/positive, and too far to the left/negative.
So we must stay centered as we walk on our path, and focus on maintaining our balance, so that we are not easily influenced and pulled into extremisms.
Balance produces a rect thing/mind/heart/energy/etc., and a rect thing like a flower under the sun will bloom, and produce beautiful colors, scents, medicines and memories.
Because all these teachings are connected..
The title Quetzalcoatl, when properly translated means, Rect Energy. With Quetzal = Rect and Coatl = Energy.
One who reached this level of personhood, i.e. Quetzalcoatl, would be one who’s energy was centered, balanced, standing rect, and so a fully bloomed personhood, worthy of teaching. And more importantly, leading the community on the Red Road, centered and balanced.
Quetzal literally means" feathered snake". Iwan koatl isomokayan!
@@vasil12361 you have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@ollimekatl you're right, it was supposed to be quetzalcoatl, that means "feathered snake". And yeah, I do speak enough Nahuatl to be able to communicate with native speakers. You should learn it so you don't sound so ignorant.
@@vasil12361 I highly doubt that you are proficient in Nahuatl, if you are..
What’s the word used for feather?
If your answer is quetzal, you a complete moron.
Kema mi coate. Quetzal coatl means precious twin as told by our tlamatineme grandfathers. Precious twin is venus. It appears twice in sky with the sun but is only one. Were all pieces of the sun. Coatl is snake symbol on tonalamatl. calendario in nahuatl for honoring the observation of wisdom & knowledge. Walking the days to completion, the flower Xochitl is like walking the land to the sacred teokallis. A walk of beauty. Were all instruments of harmony. Balance is a nice perspective. I like it but its not what quetzalcoatl means. (Generating) Energy is teo … Ometeotl.
One way and one language / only truth is spoke with the Eagle feather 🪶- our brother is a Holy Man
We each are the equal to our brother Jesus and His Sister
That's what I tell people when they ask ,.. where are you from , and I say ' from my ma'ma " 😊
Indigenous men know the difference
We too are perfect brother now we are remembering who we are 🌹🩸
thank you
Omg Brother - I send you healing Mana
I bust out laughing when 54:37 he says we are all relatives, that's your choice if you don't believe, our mind is all corrupt, He says laughing ," if you like to live in misery, that's good." I about fell out on the floor! Basically he is saying that if you want to continue your hard headed ignorance after I have told you straight up the Reality of life, go ahead, I'll just keep laughing at you. Oh gawd, so funny!
54:32
I have been studying Mohawk, im very amazed how many of the dialects, of tribes from the arctic to Florida, but all so unique to separate tribes, and a much more surprising fact, the story of Manitou, and that of Yeshua, this earth has a great hidden secret, that i hope to unloop before I leave this path
You make me feel brave
Love the one in your voice and hand 🖐 yeah it the one that's sits at the door 🚪
Bless your Walk-in Talkin Sacred Hoop with us
Holy equals among the other roads living the Red Road with helpers
They are healing

In 1: 23:00 Abuelo Rupert spoke about great leader Quannah Parker and the peyote medicine ceremonie is call in español CURANDERO/CURANDERA some people confused them with shaman or brujos but the medicine/curandero is more accepted.

1:15:00 Abuelo Rupert pronounced Seattle in Nahuatl wich is CE-ATL (One Water) but of course spanish, french, and british butcher his name to Seattle.
I never lie but I have a few stikomas - can’t see for the shock but I want too - blind eye… getting over it with acceptance

Trust me okimawetakowsiw, we are not stuck or unable to move forward. The path of the European, only leads to one destination. Hell. Those that survive it, we’re allowed to do so, to walk in the real world with the Creator. Forever. Remember this nimosum, it is of no measure, to be well adjusted to a sick society.
