Just an FYI: Maria Yraceburu now looks entirely different, due to extensive dental work. Her photo is uploaded here.

MARIA YRACEBURU - EARTHWISDOM ELDER, AUTHOR & TEACHER
Maria's Bio
When I was a kid I spent a lot of time running around in nature –while your feet are moving your mind is conversing with imaginary friends and wildlife. Sometimes I'd go rock hunting. My cousin would challenge me to stalk a butterfly, and off I'd go, flitting this way and that imitating the dance. Before I started school everything was surreal when I'd climb trees and swim in the pond. The family was a good place to be. They understood that the realities of contemporary life were lost in the visions of what could be. After graduation from Mission High, I spent sometime being a political activist, honing my ability to convience people that there was a better way to live life, learning to transfer my anger into plausible causes. Demonstrating made me feel important, but it never felt exactly right. It was frustrating at best, excruciating at worst. My family was exasperated over my choice of politics over spirit and land. Life in the future seemed so dark and impossible. I developed a depression that took me to the bottom of the pit.

Somewhere down the line I started teaching ways of Earth. My first step was as a guardian for Indigenous Elders. The second step was... well never mind, you get the idea.

One day I picked up a pen and started writing.  I was nearly 40 years old.   I sent my little essays  out to magazines and got rejected a lot. When I'd had it, I begin channeling prayer wheels for individuals.

Four years into my Prayermaking career, I got a call from Arielle Ford asking for a story to put in her anthology, Hot Chocolate for the Mystical Teenage Soul. It was a vision experience written about the first time I show my life partner, and I was paid a staggering $100.

With my head reeling from all this money, I plunged into writing books of EarthWisdom, teaching and leading ceremony full time, saying good-bye to not being seen. I wrote nonstop for the next five years, and had two books published by Bear & Company. It was a rewarding experience, but after Legends & Prophecies of the Quero Apache and Prayers and Meditations of the Quero Apache, I wanted to do more than what the editors at the company wanted, and decided to move into the world of self-publishing.

I spent two years retracking –working our earth lessons, learning to write how-to, practicing speaking in public. At the end of those years I created my SpiralDancing Life program. I would say that the program has produced some of my best written works, and I will admit to coming to the conclusion that the entire apprenticeship program borders on ingenuis.

It turns out I'm a really overamped ceremonialist with no hobbies or special interests. My favorite thing to do is ceremony and talking philosophy with people.

I listen to 60s music and I only watch happy movies. I motivate myself to move forward by spending money on something fun when I am afraid I won't make it. And now that I'm grown up, I've turned into Grandpa.

Less than two years ago, this was one her biographies, with her photograph, and also a 1:30:1 long audio:

Here is an undated (2008 or newer) biography with those Apache claims:

Learning about Earth's Wisdom with Maria Yraceburu
Susun Weed interviews Maria Yraceburu, native american philospher, educator and community leader

Maria Yraceburu is an Apache idealist Tlish Diyan philosopher, educationist, painter and community council maria yraceburuleader. She is commonly regarded as the most important Tlish Diyan thinker, with interpretations of EarthWisdom that denies the polarity of the contemporary thought.

Born Maria Yraceburu in Downey, California, her childhood name was Naylin 'iskinihi. Her father was a captain in the army during Viet Nam. She learned the traditional ways of her heritage from Grandfather Juan Ten Bears Yraceburu.

Known as Naakai Ts'ilsoose ("Returning Star) in traditional indigenous circles, she served as a guardian to various indigenous elders until being sent on her Warrior's Task to share the vision of the new time with the world in 1973.

Yraceburu became a successful ceremonialist and is known for the energetic timing she accesses in all of her work, choreographing healing and life celebration.and was presented a honoring "ecopsychology" degree in 1999.

In 1999, while working in Santa Rosa, California, she had her first short story published in an anthology compiled by Arielle Ford, and made one of the earliest references to her Tlish Diyan life philosophy, a storyteller manner transported readers from the linear thinking of contemporary thought to newly-acquaited possibilities found in ancient prophecy.

While working in Santa Rosa, she and life partner Lynda, also worked through traditional ways to rehabilitated drug addicts, and reconstructed what was lost by the battered women. Though she was acknowledge by her tradition, she was ostracized for 50% white blood.

Thirty-eight years after her birth, she was given the role of Bundle Caretaker.

In 2007 she began her initiations into the Elders' Society

She is co-founder of Yraceburu EarthWisdom, a 501 (c) 3 eco-spiritual community. Yraceburu is the leading figure in the SpiralDancing Community of EarthWisdom, a continuance of her lineage teachings from Grandfather Ten Bears and her eco-sychology work. This community champions an interpretation of EarthWisdom that unifies knowledge and action.

Her books are Legends & Prophecies of the Quero Apache (Bear & Co, 2002), Prayers & Meditations of the Quero Apache (Bear & Co., 2004), Wisdom of the Rainbow Serpent (YEW, 2005), Words of Power (YEW, 2008), and her latest compilation anthology Sisters of Honua: Those Who Stand with Ancestors. Her most important work to date is the planned community investment sustainability project Taanaashkaada Sanctuary.

She holds that time exists simultaneously in space because the united thought created them. She believes that it is intent that shapes reality, and the dream that gives reason to the world.

Therefore, the evolution is the source of all truth. She understands this to be an inner understanding, an innate calling to find a lifeway of cooperation.

Almost all previous links in the forum to pages under their domain https://www.yraceburu.org/ do not work.

I'll quote a small part from this page, where they claim really 'ancient knowledge':

Quote from: https://www.yraceburu.org/about-us.html
–Explore The Range–
ENVISIONED IN 1824
Nochaydelklinne – Sees Beyond the Stars – or the Apache Dreamer, was one of the first visionaries to bring forth visions of this time. Since then we have built a reputation as one of the world's leading earth wisdom communities. The founding of Yraceburu EarthWisdom draws on the vital contributing influences of our cross-cultural family of mystics - and of their respective trainings, combined with the Yraceburu traditional methods and ceremonial ways.

–Rich Legacy–
YRACEBURU
Yraceburu EarthWisdom eco-spiritual community was founded by members of the Yraceburu family in 2002. The original name "Yraceburu", is from the ancient athapascan, meaning Snake Heart - and holds  a close association with a form of healing and spirituality that began nearly 10,000 years ago. The Yraceburu family have been practicing these ways for centuries, upgrading for relevance in each phase of the human journey.

My bolding in that last paragraph. The phrase 'the ancient athapascan' must be totally meaningless, considering this:

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athabaskan_languages
Athabaskan or Athabascan (also Dene, Athapascan, Athapaskan) is a large family of indigenous languages of North America, located in western North America in three groups of contiguous languages: Northern, Pacific Coast and Southern (or Apachean). Kari and Potter 2010:10 place the total territory of the 53 Athabaskan languages at 1,563,000 mi2 or 4,022,000 km2.

I'd really like to know what they are referring to when they claim "a form of healing and spirituality that began nearly 10,000 years ago". How do they know it's 10,000 and not 9,000 or 11,000 years ago? Usually, only archaeologists can estimate such past datings. So, do they have archaelogical evidence?

At the page I quoted from in my previous post I found this undated photo of the two women who are the topic(s) of this present NAFPS thread:

Quote from: https://www.yraceburu.org/about-us.htmlKahuna Kalei'iliahi & Woody Bailey facilitating Lynda & Maria Yraceburu's Wedding

So if they are legally married in the state where this event took place (or later), there should be a marriage certificate with their legal names on it, that would be interesting to see, since these persons re-named themselves in the past?

Maria Yraceburu has posted today and about 20 other times in this public Facebook group:

Also very active in this public Facebook group, which she manages:

She has a YouTube channel, last updated this week:

I also found links to a calendar, where you can sign up for

Then there is another Facebook page (linking to https://www.yraceburu.org/):

That FB page is managed by Lynda Yraceburu and Maria Yraceburu.

Finally, another active Facebook page, (reported by me one year ago):
https://www.facebook.com/Maria.Yraceburu/ [Maria Yracébûrû]

I think the above pretty much sums up their online presence as of this time.
