Sumario:The article explores the concept of sacred lands as articulated by Vine Deloria Jr., particularly focusing on the idea that Indigenous Peoples must be prepared to receive new revelations at new locations in the Anthropocene era. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between sacred places and the spiritual revelations that can occur there, highlighting the need for tribal nations to establish protocols for recognizing and responding to such experiences. The text also critiques the impact of modern technology on Indigenous connections to the land, questioning whether contemporary communities can still engage with the sacredness of their environments amidst the distractions of the digital age. Ultimately, it calls for a deep reflection on the readiness of Indigenous nations to embrace new sacred lands and the revelations they may hold.
