“When we lose our language, we lose our essence. Who we are is our language.
Indigenous languages of the world really are living languages, they come from an oral tradition. We develop the brain so that we can remember everything about natural law, the natural universe, and everything within, and also, how to live. And it’s all in our languages.”
—Russell Means, 2011 (Language Lost)

EXTRADO 1
Extrado in Latin
means Give Away.
Some years ago I had a powerful desire to want to learn the Hopi | Hopílavayi language. Something deep inside me, somewhere in the labyrinth of my subconscious, there was a thirst to absorb all the Hopi language I could retain in my spirit.
My need to want to immerse myself in learning how to say basic, useful Hopi words most likely stems from my love and admiration of the Kachinas. Absolutely everything about the Kachinas illuminate my mind, heart and spirit. My Kachina dolls, along with Hopi Lightning Stick, never cease to inspire me, wether in my art or life in general.
So now, after all these years, I’m finally getting around to learning useful, basic Hopi words that I can hopefully utilize in my daily life. I’m taking careful steps now: easy, basic words and then, eventually, super-useful phrases. I’m aware of the different dialects and will decide which one to focus on when the time arrives.
Let’s go, I have some words I’d
like share and give away to you…
Quechua • Hopi • English • Español
STAR • SUN • RAIN • EAGLE

NUNA Project | 2018
 |
| Project Quechua: NUNA Project |
NUNA in Quechua means Spirit / Soul.
The NUNA Project is an offshoot of Project Quechua. I began the NUNA Project in 2018 as way to unwind from creating non-stop.
While focusing on conjuring up works of art for Project Quechua and constructing my second Quechua Runasimi book, I will also randomly produce NUNA Project related art.
In order for me to “take a break” from Project Quechua, I will go full speed ahead brainstorming and creating NUNA Project related artwork. When I create I get into this Hyperfocus mode and learned to overcome “writer’s block”, creative dry spell by creating even more. Yes, I do take time away from creating by living life, reading one too many books, movies, etc.
NUNA Project focus has mainly to do with various subjects and art forms dealing within the Spiritual, Indigenous, Subconscious, Supernatural, Music or Cyberpunk realm: Think TUROK • Tal’set (Nintendo 64) & all his awesome super-high tech weapons — that’s me.

| Machu Picchu • Machu Pikchu |
Machu Picchu is two Quechua words that roughly translates to "old mountain.” Machu Picchu is the most famous and popular Inca archaeological ruin in the world. The city is divided in two sections: Hanan and Urin according to In c a tradition.
Machu Picchu was so well hidden that the Spanish Conquistadors, thankfully, never found it.
Most of the city is constructed using the classic dry polished rock method of placing stone on stone without mortar, known as ashlar. To this day, we still do not exactly understand how the Inca managed to move and place such large stones with such precision. Wheels were not used to transport immensely heavy rocks for the construction of the city.
Machu Picchu was a royal estate built for the Inca king, Pachacutec around 1450. The city is thought to have been either a country estate for the emperor, or an important place of worship. The exact purpose of the site is still a mystery.
The historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu is full of cultural significance. Its various sites, complexes, monuments and citadels are intertwined with each other and with their environment. This is a unique artistic achievement and also a masterpiece of architecture. Everything is sacred andcultural and is related to each other, including the natural environment in which it is built upon.
Today, Machu Picchu continues to represent a truly mysterious masterpiece of architectural and engineering ingenuity, and the icon of Inca civilization.
