The Passing of Kevin Edward Locke (Lakota name: Tȟokéya Inážiŋ, meaning “The First to Arise”; June 23, 1954 – September 30, 2022) was of Lakota descent of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Anishinaabe of White Earth. He was a preeminent player of the Native American flute, a traditional storyteller, cultural ambassador, recording artist and educator. He was best-known for his hoop dance, The Hoop of Life.
Note: Kevin has performed in Yellow Springs throughout the years. Kevin Locke was scheduled to come to the Dayton/Springfield/Cincinnati the first week of October. He passed on to the next world on September 30, 2022. We share this video with you so that you can appreciate the artistry of this wonderful human being and the message of the Oneness of Humanity he shared with the peoples of the world.
*Abdu’l-Baha (1844-1921), eldest son of Baha’u’llah and His chosen successor, was known as an ambassador of peace, a champion of justice, an advocate for race amity and equality and the leading exponent of a new Faith. Through a series of epoch-making travels to Africa, North America and Europe,`Abdu’l-Bahá–by word and example–proclaimed with persuasiveness and force the essential principles of His Father’s religion. Upon His death ten thousand people–Jews, Christians, and Muslims from all denominations–gathered on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land to mourn his passing. Today He is embraced by more than 5 million Baha’is as the perfect Exemplar of what it means to be a Baha’i.
