The Trump administration plans to construct a 30-foot steel border wall through the rugged Huachuca Mountains, specifically at the terminus of the 800-mile federally protected Arizona Trail. This barrier threatens to disrupt the natural habitat of migrating jaguars and ocelots.

Such a wall would also permanently alter the experience for thousands of hikers who utilize the Arizona Trail. Matthew Nelson of the Arizona Trail Association has detailed the significant environmental and recreational consequences of this proposed construction.

The Prophecy of the White Buffalo has been preserved by the Magaska Ptesan Wicoti, Hinhan Wicasa Oyate for over 160 years.

Chief Phil Lane of the Four Worlds International Institute describes this ancient prophecy.

Wallace Black Elk emphasized that humans are inherently born with love, kindness, generosity, and a giving spirit. Connie Baxter Marlow, author of "Walking in Trust: Radical Childrearing," highlighted trust as fundamental to harmonious living and a new way of being. She asserted that each child inherently knows their path, advocating trust in a loving universe.

This philosophy aligns with a Native American approach to discovery, urging individuals to listen to circumstances and observe signs. Themes of healing separation and courage were also central to their discussion. These insights were shared by Wallace Black Elk, Connie Baxter Marlow, and Sally Ranney in Aspen, Colorado, on July 13, 1998, as excerpts from "REALITY CHECK!"

Wallace Black Elk teaches that doubt separates us from the Creator, shaping our reality. He advocates understanding nature's elements and for humanity to unite, restoring universal telepathic language.

His insights, titled "Trust Brings Freedom 2 of 2," are available here.

Sally Ranney further explores "The Trust Frequency," a concept developed over 15 years in close association with Black Elk and other visionary elders. For more information, visit TheTrustFrequency.net.

UN Special Envoy for the Ocean, Peter Thomson, stresses the fundamental connection between a healthy ocean and a healthy planet. He asserts that a thriving planetary ecosystem is unattainable without a robust ocean ecosystem.

Thomson calls upon countries, companies, and individuals to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This urgent appeal supports SDG 14, "Life Below Water," and the global movement to #SaveOurOcean.

Denmark's UN Ambassador Martin Bille Hermann advocates for truly innovative, entrepreneurial, and science-based approaches to ocean and coastal restoration and protection.

These solutions will be showcased at the [UN Ocean Conference](www.un.org/oceanconference) this June. Discover more and support #SaveOurOcean and #SDG14.
