Tribe Moki

Moki, "the people that were," was a tribe that lived in the Americas since the last ice age.

In the Hopi language, the word "moqui" means "dearly departed one". The Moki described themselves as "the people who left"; they left the world of strifing for profit to focus on improving their own consciousness. Over the ages the Moki had developed some extraordinary skills which a westerner would call psychic or esoterical. The last member of the Moki was Kimo, who lived in Surinam near the French Guinea border.

Kimo, as the last surviving member of the Moki tribe felt that along with their belief in peacefulness and their love for living beings, their arcane knowledge and psychic abilities had value to be passed on beyond his own life or that of his tribe . This was the reason he went to look for a successor, even though his late fellow tribespeople and the Moki tradition stated that it was alright for the lineage to end.

Kimo, then in his seventies, visited Amsterdam in the Netherlands in 1983 as part of his journey to find a successor to keep the Moki tribe and culture alive, and found a successor in the form of a young man named Northwood, who was not tied to any religion or tribe but willing to accept the nomination to be the first of the new Moki, and to keep the thought of this ancient and wise tribe alive. The young man received the name Moki, and was given a ceremonial feather and a turqouise stone pendant to seal his heirship of the Moki culture. The young man set out to recreate the heritage of the Moki and to recruit suitable new tribe members in order to keep the sacred culture of the Moki alive.
