Tatas’Juanna / John Mahkewa - In his own words
When I got back home I didn't fit in well. But my grandmother Grace Chapella, noted Tewa/Hopi potter always encouraged me to excel in whatever I wanted to do. she taught me as well Holy Medicine and her craft of pottery making.I was told I was a daydreamer. I left that area in my teens and pursed some of my dreams to become a Soldier, Police Officer and Chef, which as a child was told I could never become. I did whatever I had to do. I didn't care for anyone but myself.
I died from a heart attack while, going thru Post Polio Syndrome, in West Palm Beach Florida. During that death experience, I was reminded of my childhood teachings and was awakened to a new person. I am still in the movement of change in my life.
This has led me into arts and spiritual craftsmanship. I now mentor students in the Permaculture Community and offer many types of healing.
I'm the father of 10 children and 12 grandchildren.
I was born and raised on the Colorado River Indian Tribes reservation, located in Parker, Arizona. Contracted Polio at the age of 4 and spent 3 yrs in treatment. Non-physical teachers began visiting me during that time from India and Tibet. They appeared between the hrs of 3 and 5 am. They took me from my imprisonment to many places around the world and taught me many things.

“I share all beliefs with peacemaking; most importantly with oneself sharing love, light, and understanding.”
