Welcome to Oklevueha
Native American Church

Oklevueha’s Mission and Vision

Oklevueha Native American Church is expanding our focus and deepening our mission and vision to accommodate the changing philosophies and legalities regarding sacred medicines in our modern world.

When Oklevueha was first conceived, we were a small church with one location and one medicine. We built a community of healing through peyote and sacred connection. When law enforcement stepped in and shut us down in 2000, we shifted a great deal of our focus to legal protection for all who wished to sit with the medicine.

Now that the legalities of sacred medicines are shifting, we also wish to shift our full focus to honoring and preserving the sacred spirituality of the Native Americans, as well as honoring and protecting the various sacred medicines we are so privileged to have and steward. We are so grateful to those who sacrificed their lives to preserve and protect these ceremonies, when the practice of native spirituality was a death sentence.  They never gave up or denied who they were, what they stood for, or what they believed. We choose to honor them through this work. READ MORE 

ALL ARE WELCOME HERE

Oklevueha Native American Church (ONAC) welcomes people of all races, nationalities, religions, and lifestyles without prejudice. We believe ancient ways must be preserved, honored, and understood. In our fast changing world spirituality is often overlooked, or masked behind so much dogma and doctrine, that spiritual connection can be compromised.

Oklevueha is here to bring our brothers and sisters together in sacred circles where we can heal and empower ourselves physically, spiritually, and emotionally through Creator’s bounty, and to deepen our connection to Mother Earth, she who is our Mother and our Temple, and who has so abundantly blessed and provided for us.

Sacred Ceremony

Creator has blessed us with the four elements to remind us we are always connected to nature. He gave us the Sacred Pipe, the Sacred Inipi, and the Sacred Tipi. He also taught us sacred ceremonies, some involving natural plant medicines to inspire and empower us, and others to teach us how to rely wholly on prayer. We consider these sacred ceremonies to be worship, and sacred medicines to be sacrament, and should be honored, respected, and understood in a good way.

Oklevueha honors the sacred indigenous ceremonies from all cultures. We recognize the sacred sacraments from North and South America, as well as other indigenous peoples.

The practicing of Indigenous American spirituality empowers and strengthens those who participate as they create balance and remove toxic thoughts, actions, and substances from their lives. The ceremonies, sacred sacraments, and medicines we work with are powerful and assist people to overcome dependencies, self-defeating behaviors, and can assist the physical body to gain strength and healing for many physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual ailments.

Sacred Ceremony

People of all races, creeds, and religions are drawn to attending sacred ceremony with Oklevueha. ONAC’s ceremonies are held at the highest standard of reverence, honor, and respect for all medicines and all who come in a good way.

Counseling

Medicine People all over Oklevueha provide deep integrative healing through sacred counseling ceremonies, often involving the Sacred Chanupa (Casuse) or Sacred Pipe. To find a Medicine Person near you, please contact [email protected]

Ancient Stack Mushroom CoffeeWe are very pleased to announce that Ancient Stack, a wellness company, is committed to contributing 30% of all proceeds from their products to the ONAC Humanitarian Fund.

They have launched their first product, Mushroom Coffee, an organic coffee blended with adaptogenic mushrooms.

Oklevueha is shifting its focus from legal protection to becoming a significant force in humanitarian efforts. As legal landscapes across the country evolve, allowing for greater freedom to worship with sacred medicines, we are exploring new avenues to uplift Indigenous communities. While continuing to honor our spiritual traditions, our vision now extends beyond legal advocacy into tangible community support.

We aim to partner with and support charities that already have well-established programs and are actively working within Indigenous communities. This includes addressing pressing issues like the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). By lending our voice and resources to these ongoing efforts, we can amplify awareness and contribute to initiatives focused on prevention, support for affected families, and justice for victims.

Another immediate need is preparing for the winter months by ensuring that our communities, especially the most vulnerable, have access to warmth, clothing, and shelter. Oklevueha seeks to provide aid and resources for winter warmth, partnering with organizations that can deliver blankets, winter gear, and essential supplies to families in need.

By aligning ourselves with charities who have the infrastructure and experience to impact these areas, Oklevueha is committed to becoming a major supporter of humanitarian causes and improving the quality of life for Indigenous people everywhere.

Oklevueha Native American Church is pleased to partner with Benalign, a non-traditional benefits company, to offer additional support for our members. Through this collaboration, members and their family members will have access to affordable healthcare options, telemedicine, prescription programs, and a variety of other cost-saving services designed to enhance well-being. 

ONAC Members and their families have access to a unique member benefits platform that provides a portfolio of non-traditional benefit options that are aligned with the benefits you really want and need.
