The Story of Hayehwatha Today
"This is the story of how I came to know Hayehwatha. I see Hayehwatha in the spiritual plane within the universe. Hayehwatha incorporates fully into my body and he speaks through me."
"Hayehwatha was once known in history as a Peacemaker, as a great Iroquois Indian. It is a big responsibility to create the possibility for Hayehwatha to return to earth to help mankind once again. This website is one way to notify people of Hayehwatha's existence."

Brazil - I live in California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1996 I became involved in a spiritual group from Brazilian that was in California at the time. It was through that tradition that I was first introduced to Hayehwatha.
One aspect of that tradition is to teach people how to connect with the spiritual plane that exists within the universe, how to establish a relationship with spiritual beings that exist in the spiritual plane, and how to incorporate those spiritual beings so that they can transmit their wisdom, love and light to help other people.
Tradition of the Orixás - The Brazilian tradition is similar to many Native American traditions in that they view the universe made up of elemental forces, energies, that have basic spiritual qualities of fire, earth, water and air. Within the Brazilian tradition these qualities of energy are called Orixás. There are 2,684 known qualities, which are further simplified into 386 qualities, then 68, then 16 qualities. The sixteen qualities have names.
In the Brazilian tradition, when the spiritual beings make a connection with an individual, they come on earth through one of these qualities. For more information, click www.orixas.org
Chief Hayehwatha - In December 1996 I went to Brazil to attend a workshop. The first night I slept very little and was restless the entire night. Throughout the night I kept seeing an Indian in white. He was very old with a full headdress of white feathers.
When I returned to California, one night I felt this Indian's presence, he was speaking Indian words and he told me he is a Chief and in the spiritual world he teaches Chiefs how to be Chiefs.
Library - One month later I felt compelled by this Indian to go to the local library. I was not drawn to any of the books in the adult section so I went to the children's section. I immediately, randomly, picked three books and took them home. The first book that I opened I went to a page that had the story of an Iroquois Indian. At that moment I knew I was reading about the Indian who had made a connection with me. That was the first time that I knew his name is Hayehwatha.
Later that month I saw the presence of an American Indian in my home. He had come to check me out. I recognized him as Tadaho (Adadarho/Tadadaho).
Hayehwatha Talk - 2005
Hayehwatha gave a talk, through the Medium, Andree Morgana, at the 22nd International Shamanism Conference in California, September 2005. The talk has been transcribed, and is available to download as a PDF file:
The Line of Xangô In 1996 when when one of the Brazilian teachers started to work with me, they confirmed that the spiritual being who wanted to connect with me was working in the line of Xangô, an element of fire. At that time they created an opportunity for that spiritual being to connect with me. I started to spin and spin. I could perceive a presence from the spiritual plane working with me and moving my body.
Education regarding Hayehwatha - I grew up in California during the 1950’s. My education included only a little history of the Native American Indians. I had read the Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, but I was not familiar with Hayehwatha of the Iroquois Indians. I later found out the two were quite different.
In 1998 I felt Hayehwatha requesting me to research his history, so I went to the Internet. It was "an eye opener" what I saw and what I learned. I learned about Hayehwatha, the Iroquois Confederacy, our Forgotten Fathers and the Wampum Beads. On this website those materials are referenced and links are provided. Click LINKS
Hayehwatha's Clothes - A few months later Hayehwatha showed me his ceremonial dress of white leather with fringes. Hayehwatha also showed me his pipe. The pipe is white with some turquoise and coral pieces. He again showed me his full headdress of large white feathers.
Hayehwatha's Appearance - Initially Hayehwatha appeared to me in several ways – Sometimes Hayehwatha appeared as a younger Indian ready for dance - strong with vitality. Other times Hayehwatha appeared as very old and wise with the regalia of the white feathers. His presence is always very powerful and all knowing. His awareness is broad like the sky.
Iroquois Song - In 1998 I was introduced to one of the songs, called Pontos, from the Brazilian tradition. For me, it was another moment of authenticity. One of the Spiritual Beings that had made a connection with their group many years ago was an Iroquois Indian. This Being came to support the development of their group. They created a song for him.

Chief Oskenonton - Also in 1998 one of my friends, who collects Native American Indian art called to tell me she had some new items. I asked her if she had any pipes. She had a photo of two pipes. I went to see them. One of pipes looked exactly like the pipe that Hayehwatha had shown me and it was an Iroquois pipe! For me, this was a moment to verify that my experiences with Hayehwatha are true.
The pipe my friend showed me, I now have. The pipe belonged to Chief Oskenonton, who was born May 27, 1886 into the Bear Clan of the Mohawk tribe in Canada.
The Institute - In 2000 Hayehwatha directed me to go to the Internet to further research the Iroquois people. I found a book called Concerning the League, dictated in 1912 by Chief John Arthur Gibson.
During this time, my ex-husband, Lew Leonard, came to California to say "goodbye" because he had cancer and he knew that he was going to die (which happened later that year). While I was reading to Lew from the book, Concerning the League, the room filled with light and the Peacemaker, Deganawidah came into the room. Deganawidah told me that I will be incorporating both Deganawidah and Hayehwatha, and he said that I would incorporate him (Deganawidah) only on very special occasions. After that experience Lew suggested to start a non-profit organization for Hayehwatha to be called the Hayehwatha Research Institute.
Wampum - Later in 2000, Hayehwatha told me that my art work will be known in history the way that the Wampum is known, that the art will serve as an invitation to lead people to an understanding about the structure of the universe, and to receive a healing and enhanced evolution that the connection with the universe and the spiritual beings within it have to offer.
Mt Shasta Experience - When I was in Mt Shasta in 2001, Hayehwatha showed me a tall Evergreen Tree in the spiritual plane that has Power, Strength and is Steadfast. He showed me that one's Will can transform with evolution and in time take on the proportions of Cosmic Will. Hayehwatha comes to earth through Cosmic Will to aid the evolution of humanity into the light while humanity is still on earth.
Preparation for Hayehwatha - In 1967 I started the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. In 1969 I went to India to be come a teacher of the TM program.
For 20 years I worked full time for the TM organization, teaching TM to leaders in government, business, industry, education, health organizations, students and teachers in high school (public and private), colleges and universities, and the general public. I taught TM in California, Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York and Vermont.
During those years many hours, days, weeks, and months at a time were spent in long meditation, where I became familiar with using and refining perception to know the Self, Pure Consciousness, Universal Awareness. I attended advanced TM courses in Switzerland where I meditated for 8-10 hours each day, for two years.
As I look back on these experiences I can see that they were preparations for my experience with Hayehwatha. For the past seven years I have come to know Hayehwatha. Now it is time for others to meet Hayehwatha.

Today - Today there are several hundred hours of audio tapes recording Hayehwatha's conversations in the past several years. The Institute is looking for the funds to translate the tapes so that the material is available for other people.
Hayehwatha's Connection - There are a number of ways that Hayehwatha connects with me:
In the drawings Hayehwatha expands my awareness so that I am outside our galaxy looking across the universe. From across the universe Hayehwatha projects images and I draw them. Hayehwatha says the drawings serve the same function as the wampum beads – as an invitation – an invitation to draw a person into the universe, to experience and understand the natural laws of the universe.
I can hear Hayehwatha’s voice. Many times Hayehwatha speaks and I write.
The most dramatic connection is a “full body incorporation” whereby the light, energy and personality of Hayehwatha enters my body and uses my body and mind to move, think and speak. Those are the moments where Hayehwatha interacts with other people. Utilizing the spiritual tradition from Brazil, in a ritual setting, Hayehwatha "incorporates" and helps people with their concerns. Hayehwatha also speaks about why he has returned to earth - to work with the governing structures of the world, to bring peace on earth and to raise the evolution of humanity. In the next few years there will be another website that will present Hayehwatha's wisdom and work as it unfolds.
