Kasskara: Sunken Land of the Hopi Ancestors/Oraibi and Hopi History in North America

By Shawn Hamilton

* The first Americans DID NOT come over the Bering Strait south, but north from Kasskara, a sunken continent in the Pacific, via Easter Island, South America and Mexico.

* The current Hopi 'Aasa Clan' is related to a group formerly called the 'Astak', a group of Hopi ancestors the Spanish called the 'Aztec'.

*Hopi 'Kachinas' represent actual embodied beings that used technological equipment. The dolls bought by tourists today are for children and tourists. Kachinas are actual beings who came here to Earth in ancient times, helped the Hopi ancestors migrate, then eventually returned to their planet, according to the Hopi.

*Tiwanku was the first city built by Kachinas in the new South American continent as a home for the refugees of Kasskara. This continent has been called 'Lemuria' and in India 'Mu-Rutas'. The Hopis call it Kasskara, and they consider it their original home.

*It's time, perhaps, to rethink our cherished paradigms!


Oraibi is the oldest village on the North American continent and has been continuously inhabited since its foundation. Archaeologists have analyzed wood used in constructing Hopi houses and determined the village was created at about 1150 A.D., which White Bear said is off by thousands of years. Scientists didn't realize that the buildings they analyzed sat atop other villages lying below the current ruins. White Bear explained:



"The first village was founded 4.000 years ago. Oraibi was not the first village in this area. The very first one was called Shungopovi and was on the second mesa at the foot of the cliff, below the current village which bears the same name. At some point there was an argument between two brothers regarding a woman. The younger brother, Machito, decided to leave the village and to create his own village, which was called 'Oraibi' (Orayvi) , and it is still called this today. Machito, belonging to the Clan of the Bear and knowing all the traditions of his ancestors, brought to Oraibi something which today represents the most valuable of Hopi possessions--the four sacred boards, which his parents gave to him when he decided to create his village.

White Bear explained that several hundred years had elapsed before all the clans that were to come had arrived. Long before the creation of Oraibi, the clans that were to settle there had been selected, and even these selected clans could not come whenever they wished it. "Their Kachinas had to say to them, 'Now it is time for you to go there,' and then they came. It was the last time that the human beings could see their divinities. After that other Kachinas were designated to stay with the clans, but only in a spiritual form and not as a body," White Bear said. "Don't forget it."

He said each clan that wished to come to Oraibi had to settle initially within a few miles of the village. Many ruins in the surrounding area served as such provisional sites. After some time the clans could send their representatives to meet the chiefs in order to request permission to permanently settle. They were asked to explain the history of their migrations--where they had gone, what they had done, and whether they had followed the divine laws. Their complete history had to be reported to the leaders of the Clan of the Bear (this clan had authority due to its non-involvement in the destruction of Kasskara). In order to be accepted, however, it was not enough to have simply finished the migration; the clans were also required to specify how they envisioned participating in the ceremonies. 'There exists an annual cycle of ceremonies, which is complete only if all the ceremonies of each clan are represented,' White Bear said. "Consequently, a clan wanting to settle in Oraibi had to contribute to our cycle with its own ceremony."
