    This guy is the father of my younger son's girlfriend.  She hasn't seen him for years, and doesn't even know where he is.

    So, when I saw this glowing description of him for a TEDx talk video, I had to wonder. . .


    Building a Legacy: Sequoyah Trueblood at TedxUofC

    May 19, 2012

    TEDx Talks


    Sequoyah Trueblood (enrolled with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) has contributed selflessly for many years in Canada, and the United States, and around the world as a role model for healthy leadership, bringing peace and joy to the hearts of many. As a ceremonial pipe carrier and with an "off the grid" style in his work he offers something most have never experienced: the genuine guidance of a supportive, profoundly inspired and diversely experienced Elder. His consistent ability to touch wounded hearts and sooth troubled minds with compassion and wisdom has endeared Sequoyah to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people alike. He has a varied background in leadership capacities within Indigenous peoples contexts as well as Western institutions including the U.S. Army, World Bank, Institute of Noetic Sciences, Harvard University Program for Extraordinary Experience Research, and Corrections Canada. Currently he spends most of his summers living from the Kankurwa Medicine Lodge at Cross River Wilderness Centre.

    TEDxUofC happened March 30, 2012 in Calgary Alberta Canada.




    He also starred in a documentary Apocalypse 2012:  The World After Time Ends.

    I did a research project on him to try to help my son's girlfriend, because she is troubled, and it seems the fact that she has no relationship with her father, must be a factor.

    I've taken notes, which I've just reviewed, and I see I noted, "TEDx may be controlled by the CIA."

    Also, my understanding is that movies are used for propaganda purposes by the CIA.

    He did combat in Vietnam as a Green beret and was involved with special intelligence forces, where drugs were involved, and he was blamed and incarcerated.

    I've had a creepy feeling that Apocalypse 2012 may be pure propaganda.  There's talk about climate change in it.  To me, that's a red flag.  First it was man-made global warming, when apparently all the planets of the solar system were warming, as in cycles of Mother Nature.  Global warming morphed into "climate change," which is an excuse to de-populate IMO.  

    Rolling Eyes

    I've wondered what Sequoyah Trueblood's true motivation is...

    But IMO that TEDx talk was compelling.  He seems genuine, and wise.

    However, it bothers me a lot that he ignores his daughter.

    pale

    I would love it if I could find out where he is and then encourage my son's girlfriend to go see him.

    I decided I would perhaps write Sequoyah Trueblood a letter if I could find his mailing address.

    I googled that and it brought up a GoFundMe:

    Medical aid for Sequoyah Trueblood

    UFHD Team is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Suzanne Eugster.

    Sequoyah Trueblood, Elder of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

    (For German translation scroll down below English text / Deutsche Uebersetzung nach dem Englischen Text)

    Sequoyah and I have now lived together for almost 12 years, and in just a couple of months he will celebrate his 80th birthday. Sequoyah is an exceptional person who has helped in those 80 years countless people, whether it was on the battlefields of Vietnam, during the difficult time when the Army let him down and made him a felon, in the mountains of the Cherokee People, in a suicide situation on the Mi’kmaq Reserve in New Brunswick, at the Navajo and Hopi Nation to bring peace to their people, at Harvard University Department of Psychiatry, in prisons in the United States and Canada, friends from the East to the West Coast, Indigenous Peoples throughout the Continent, students at numerous universities such as the Southwestern College in Santa Fe and University of Calgary.

    His help and service, however, reaches far across the oceans – in Japan he spent time with the Ainu and taught the then vice president of Sony, in India he was asked to speak to the people in Arunachal Pradesh, the only indigenous state in India, in Europe he taught students at the Schamanismus Akademie in Austria, and other places in Bavaria and Switzerland, in Northern Ireland together with his friend James O’Dea he did peace work with the Irish Republican Army, in Central South America he worked in Guatemala and eventually was called down to Colombia to the Heart of the World, to the 4 tribes the Kogi, Arhuaco, Kankuamo and Azardio/Wiwa, where the Seed of Peace was transferred to him by one of the most respected Mamos.

    Back in Canada, he spent many summers living from the Kankurwa Medicine Lodge (Place of Peace) at Cross River Wilderness Centre in the Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia where he taught people from around the world about the Path of Peace including indigenous teachings and ceremonies such as Healing Lodges and Vision Quests. Not only did he teach the Path of Peace but several of his students took the path of peace on in their own teachings.

    And while helping so many people all around the world so selflessly, he finally could re-unite with his family that was torn apart during the time when the army or people in the army needed to ‘dispose of him’ whether he knew too much, or was too good, or jealousy was creeping in, in the higher echelons, or Sequoyah not taking part in the orgies… He paid a high price in the army, despite his outstanding achievements that echo through all the military records, reports and the medals he has received. Not only was he sprayed over an extended period of time with the poison Agent Orange in Vietnam, freely given and highly suggested to use Super Amphetamine to endure long missions, he lost his family because of the army and he also lost his ‘military honor and with it all benefits and to an extend also health care’ especially when one lives outside of the US.

    Now, as I just recently stated in the work we do with the Universal Foundation for Holistic Design, the time has come for the next generation to walk in his footsteps and give back so the law of reciprocity can be respected. This now has come to full fruition because Sequoyah needs help. His health has been deteriorating and only because of his will and physical strength he pulled himself through again and again until he could no longer draw from that strength.

    After many weeks of pain and suffering the kidneys finally screamed and yelled and we went to the hospital here in Calgary. We both did all we could in the realm of natural medicine and we both are very apprehensive when it comes to surgeries. But it looks like that this surgery is needed to protect his kidneys that have been affected severely.

    For this surgery and for the caretaking that I cannot do alone, we need help.

    We are so grateful for your loving support and donations

    Great Thanks, Great Peace, Great Love

    I hope she finds him Seashore and that they can still spend a great time together.
    He certainly looks like an interesting person.

    This has turned into a time-consuming research project for me.

    I'm establishing a timeline and two questions.

    The timeline is:

    1. 30 March 2012 TEDx talk in Calgary Alberta Canada.

    2. 26 July 2016 video "Sequoyah Trueblood - Great Thanks, Great Peace, Great Love" published on YouTube; therefore, it was 5 years ago that he needed money for surgery.

    3. Present day 2021 the GoFundMe page for Trueblood is still raising money—the last donation was 4 months ago.

    My questions are:

    1. Did he get life-saving surgery?
    2. Who is the organizer of the GoFundMe, and person who is associated with UFHD (Universal Foundation for Holistic Design)?


    Question

      Current date/time is Wed Dec 11, 2024 10:43 pm
