‘Unforgiving Thresholds’ – Book Five in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ Series by Don Trudeau Calls Urgent Attention to Humanity’s Tipping Points

WHITEHORSE, Yukon, Canada, Aug. 19, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ojibwe of Ontario elder, storyteller, and author Don Trudeau announces the release of “Unforgiving Thresholds” (ISBN: 978-1834182582), the fifth installment in his acclaimed ‘The Shaman Speaks’ series. Drawing on more than seven decades of observation as a Shaman in the First Nation depiction, Trudeau offers a powerful warning about the environmental, social, and spiritual crises that humanity has brought upon itself.

“Given that Mother Nature tends to correct unfavorable exceptions of the whole, then change is in order, soon to come,” Trudeau writes. In “Unforgiving Thresholds,” he explores how humanity’s actions have created ripples – like stones thrown into a pond – that expand outward, merging into an unstoppable collapse of thresholds. Some readers may revisit the book’s message multiple times, while others may only see its truth when events make its warnings undeniable.

WHY HE WROTE THE BOOK

“My book is about the many thresholds that mankind is currently witnessing the results of, setting the stage for our own downfall,” says Trudeau. “Mankind’s rise in numbers, polluting habits has gone unchecked for millennia, placing us outside the environmental balance to contribute to a healthy world.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Don Trudeau was taught observance from a young age and has practiced it throughout his 78 years. As a Shaman, he has witnessed profound changes in wildlife, climate, economy, health, weather patterns, and catastrophic land events. He served as a caretaker at Fort Selkirk in the Yukon where he worked to preserve Indigenous history through storytelling and the written word.

“Unforgiving Thresholds” joins previous volumes in ‘The Shaman Speaks’ series, including “The Shaman Speaks, Volume 1: Gather You My Wisdom,” “Volume 2: The Teachings” and “Volume 3: The Elder’s Tears.” With more books in progress and planned, the series remains a vital part of Trudeau’s mission to pass on the wisdom, traditions, and cautionary lessons of the First Nations People.

AVAILABILITY

“Unforgiving Thresholds” is available now through Amazon and other major booksellers.

Image caption: “Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player” by Paula J. Conlon.

The book offers a heartfelt portrayal of Doc Tate Nevaquaya, whose work transcended cultural barriers. Known for revitalizing the Native American flute tradition, Doc Tate’s music and art revealed the beauty and richness of Comanche culture to the world. As his wife Charlotte recalled, “He would say, ‘We are not savages. We love, too.’” This sentiment echoes throughout Doc Tate’s artwork and music, which emphasized themes of love, beauty, and identity.

For Conlon, this project is deeply personal. Listening to Comanche Flute Music Played by Doc Tate Nevaquaya in 1979 inspired her lifelong journey as an ethnomusicologist. Living in Oklahoma allowed Conlon to collaborate closely with Doc Tate’s sons, Edmond and Timothy Tate Nevaquaya, to share their father’s enduring legacy.

Through vivid storytelling and insightful research, Doc Tate Nevaquaya: Master Comanche Artist and Flute Player serves as a tribute to Doc Tate Nevaquaya’s artistry, love for his culture, and his impact on preserving Indigenous traditions.

Down Payment Resource highlights 48 Native American homebuyer assistance programs in honor of Native American Heritage Month

Analysis finds 48 programs in 13 states offering up to $90,000 in assistance designed to help Native Americans purchase a home

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 16, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry’s leading technology for connecting homebuyers with homebuyer assistance programs, is highlighting 48 U.S. homebuyer assistance programs in 13 states that are specifically designed to support Native Americans (American Indians and Alaska Natives) in conjunction with Native American Heritage month in October. While Native Americans may be eligible for all of the 2,400-plus U.S. homebuyer assistance programs, these 48 programs were specifically developed to provide help with down payments and other home-buying costs.

Image caption: Down Payment Resource.

The Native American homeownership rate is around 56% which is significantly lower than the national average, with a gap of roughly 15 percentage points compared to white households. The Native American-white homeownership gap exceeds 30 percentage points in five states.

While the federal government is responsible for providing funding for housing programs on tribal lands, historically this funding has been insufficient, especially in rural areas, according to the National Indian Council on Aging. These communities have many substandard housing units, including dilapidated homes, and many continue to struggle with overcrowding. Nearly 16% of households across tribal lands live in overcrowded conditions, compared to 2.2% nationally, notes the Council.

An analysis of the 48 programs showcases the range of assistance available to promote Native American homeownership.

Eligibility: Most programs are limited to members of federally recognized tribes for purchasing homes on reservations or within specified service areas.
Financial assistance range: The programs offer homebuyer assistance ranging from $2,125 to $90,000.
Income requirements: Fifteen programs have no income requirements. Thirty-one programs have income requirements that range from 80% to 120% of the Area Median Income.
Availability: Assistance programs are offered in 13 states. The states with the most programs are Oklahoma (12), Michigan (9), California (6) and Washington (5). Twenty programs are statewide and 28 are local.
Program types: The homeowner assistance programs encompass various types, including 33 second mortgage programs, nine grant programs, four matched savings programs, and two first mortgage programs. Twenty-six programs are for first-time homebuyers only, and 22 programs can be accessed by repeat buyers.
Forgivable assistance: Thirty-eight of the programs offer forgivable assistance, provided that all program conditions, such as owner-occupancy, are met, further alleviating the financial burdens for aspiring homeowners.
Housing types: All programs allow for purchase of single-family homes. Twenty-eight allow for the purchase of modular or manufactured homes.

“We welcome the growing number of programs for Native American homebuyers. We feel homeownership is an important pathway to economic prosperity and community development,” said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. “I would encourage Native American homebuyers to search our complete database of all 2,444 down payment assistance programs in the United States — the most complete such resource anywhere — to find those specific to their tribe and region that can help them achieve homeownership and start building generational wealth.”

Down Payment Resource highlights 42 Native American homebuyer assistance programs in honor of Native American Heritage Month

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry's leading technology for connecting home buyers with homebuyer assistance programs, is highlighting 42 U.S. homebuyer assistance programs in 14 states that are specifically designed to support Native Americans (American Indians and Alaska Natives) in conjunction with Native American Heritage month. While Native Americans are eligible for any of the 2,300-plus U.S. homebuyer assistance programs, these programs were specifically developed to provide help with down payments and/or other home-buying costs for Native American homebuyers.

The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies reports that 56.7 percent of Native American households own their homes, a full 15.0 percentage points lower than white households. While the federal government is responsible for providing funding for housing programs on tribal lands, historically this funding has been insufficient, according to the National Indian Council on Aging. Native Americans have faced numerous obstacles when it comes to homeownership, says the Council, including high unemployment rates and poverty, with only 8 cents of wealth for every dollar of the average white American household.

An analysis of the 42 programs showcases the range of assistance available to promote Native American homeownership.

* Eligibility: Most programs are limited to members of federally recognized tribes for purchasing homes on reservations or within specified service areas.

* Financial assistance range: The programs offer homebuyer assistance ranging from $2,125 to $90,000.

* Income requirements: Ten programs have no income requirements. Thirty-two programs have income requirements that range from 80% to 120% of the Area Median Income.

* Availability: Assistance programs are offered in 11 states and the District of Columbia. The states with the most programs are Oklahoma (13), Michigan (9) and Oregon (4). Sixteen programs are statewide, and 25 are local.

* Program types: The homeowner assistance programs encompass various types, including 33 second mortgage programs, seven grant programs and two matched savings programs. Twenty-three programs are for first-time homebuyers only, and 19 programs can be accessed by repeat buyers.

* Forgivable programs: Thirty-six of the programs offer forgivable assistance, provided that all program conditions, such as owner-occupancy, are met, further alleviating the financial burdens for aspiring homeowners.

"Native Americans continue to face hardships that can delay or prevent them from becoming homeowners, which is an important pathway to economic prosperity and community development," said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. "It's my hope that mortgage ready Native Americans will access our database to find programs specific to their tribe and region that can provide them with the resources and support they need to achieve homeownership."

Deliberately Considerate People Making a Positive Difference

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sugarpeel announces newest Deliberately Considerate™ digital publication recognizing people trying to change the world for the better, featuring Native American Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Onondaga Nation and international advocate for our Mother Earth, and Indigenous rights.

Tom Szaky, CEO, envisioned TerraCycle twenty years ago - today it's a global recycling leader in 20 countries "eliminating the idea of waste" through reusable consumer packaging with partners like Puretto, Tide and Haagen-Dazs instead of landfilling it to create a circular economy and zero waste.

"Our ability to survive comes down to sharing," said Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper of the Onondaga Nation. "This is a fundamental principal of the Haudenosaunee. Share what you have - this is meant broadly, and have respect for the individual, family, community and the world."

"All of our featured companies are showing respect for our world in very meaningful ways," Lyons said.

Ashley Basla, Editor-in-Chief, Deliberately Considerate™, said, "The overarching theme is the effects of climate change, which includes the pandemic being felt by all, some disproportionately more than others." It's impossible not to reassess our values. Now is the time to act. Now is the time to focus on the serious, not the superficial.

"We included B Corps, companies that are certified by B Lab, a leader in economic systems change."

B Corporations are certified and recognized as new kinds of businesses. They balance purpose and profits, doing good for people and the planet, including Barnana. They upcycled 100 million pounds of ugly bananas into snacks, taking a bite out of the 1.3 billion tons of food wasted every year, while supporting sustainable products that have a minimal adverse effect on the environment.

We recognize and honor five diverse women lead businesses, uplifting other women, helping society, and the planet, such as Amy Denet Deal. Amy is a fashion designer that returned to her native Navajo roots, restoring, repurposing and upcycling vintage textiles, while supporting vital Native American necessities most take for granted.

About Sugarpeel

Historical Author Sufia Giza Uncovers Her Ancient Moundbuilders Ancestry with New Book Release and Summer Tour

COLUMBIA, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- For historical film documentarian and author Sufia Giza, genetic testing took her down a rabbit hole of research that has spanned 30 years, uncovering intriguing evidence that not only affects her personally, but also deeply impacts the narrative of this nation as a whole. Her new book, HeTePu Publications' "Moundbuilders of Ancient America: A Legacy Reclaimed," self-published in conjunction with the notable Black Classic Press, is not only the story of her Black Amer-Indian ancestors, traced to a heritage of Mississippian Moundbuilders who were chiefdoms and queendoms, but also a more deeply complex and revolutionary reveal.

With the recent upsurge of interest in genetic testing, many Americans are eager to learn more about their ancestral roots, however, most pause their exploration after the initial DNA results come back.

A paradigm changer for true history buffs, in "Moundbuilders of Ancient America: A Legacy Reclaimed," Giza traces the legacy of her roots to a people who lived in America and Meso-America between 50,000 BC and the present, as the original African descended Ameri-Indians, the authentic indigenous Native Americans, that most people have never heard of before. Giza will embark on a book tour this summer, that further espouses her findings, with stops in Columbia, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Ancient Americans were called Moundbuilders because they built monumental manmade, earthen buildings, similar to the pyramids in both Egypt and Mexico. With DNA results that trace directly back to the original Mississippian Moundbuilders, Giza was overwhelmed to discover direct lineage to the Queen of Cofetazque (Lady of Cifitachikee), who was kidnapped by and escaped from the 16th-century Spanish explorer and conquistador Hernando de Soto. In his journal, de Soto described the queen as "having the richest Grand Lodge I have seen in all of Peru or Mexico." Another ancestral link led her to a warrior by the name of Tuskaloosa, who de Soto also took hostage and later killed on his 1540 journey, when he arrived in Alabama.

But Giza's most surprising reveals were the similarities she began to notice in her research between the cultures of Africa, the ancient Mississippi Delta and Mexico. Her in-depth exploration and research, spanning artifacts, museum exhibitions, textbooks and interviews have led to discovering what she believes is a well-hidden fact, that America's original indigenous people were African migrants who arrived in America first, pre-Columbus and before the Red American Indian.

"As an Indigenous American person in search of my ancestral culture, I have been grasping at straws from biased textbooks, survey reports, and outdated scientific paradigms in archeology and anthropology that obscure what is really true. So now, with my book, I have worked to find these hidden linkages to my ancestors, to discover who the original native Americans are, so I can document their past, in order to have a better understanding of myself, and others. Interestingly, after tracking all these generations of my folks being in North America, I am still 90% Sub-Saharan African. My opinion is, with my family still having so much African heritage, my ancestors had to have been African Native Americans, who migrated, from Africa, through Siberia in 50,000 BC," espouses Giza.

Sufia Giza is a Gullah-Geechee artist from Columbia, South Carolina, who is a native of Riverside, CA. Giza has three degrees, including a master's in Bi-Lingual/Cross-Cultural Educational Counseling. She has written two poetry chapbooks and produced five documentaries, including, "SANKOFA Study: An Ethnobotanical Research Project on Medicinal Herbs of Tobago, WI.," "Toledo District Eco-Park: An Eco-Cultural Tour of Southern Belize," "REGGAE MILITIS: The Bizness of Reggae Music" and "SANKOFA Study II: Medicinal Herbs of Trinidad and Tobago." Most recently Giza completed the third part in her series on medicinal herbs, "Ethnobotany of the African Diaspora: South Carolina to Trinidad & Tobago."

"Moundbuilders of Ancient America: A Legacy Reclaimed" is a fascinating historical resource. Giza lays bare, with meticulous detail, findings that connect the dots to not only her personal lineage, but to a past that has been painted over for centuries.

Book tour stops include:

- Columbia, SC at the Pan-African Cultural Festival on June 22, 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Robert Mills House & Gardens

- Chicago, IL at the Soul Yoga Fest, July 6, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at Fuller Park
