Since 2012 I am a legal member and medicine person of the Oklevueha Native American Church, as well as, the head of my own Native American church ‘Toltec Sun Ministries’. I conduct Native American style weddings, Sweat Lodges and blessing ceremonies, as well as, share shamanic teachings and energetic practices including Medicine Wheel empowerments with sacred drum, flute, songs and chants.

I have been in Sedona, Arizona arriving on the summer solstice of 1987. By 1988 I began working as a Sacred Earth vortex tour guide and eventually started my own company in 1990 as Sedona Nature Excursions with my specialty Mystic Tours.

During the 1990's I worked with many people very eager to experience the energy of the Sedona red rock country and its famous vortex energies.  And this gave me the opportunity to develop my own unique way of teaching and sharing shamanic wisdom and healing methods while out in the beauty of the sacred landscape of Sedona.

My approach has combined wisdom teachings from both eastern Yogic traditions, Taoist wisdom, Christian mysticism and Native American shamanism.  I was especially drawn to the teachings of Toltec wisdom that has come out of Mexico, and to the practice of Kriya yoga through Babaji's lineage.  Since I was already very deep into the practice of western astrology, I was able to merge this perspective into the teachings of the Medicine Wheel as taught to me by Sun Bear. 

Regarding my Indian ancestry, it comes out of Mexico, although I was born in the Midwest of the United States where I grew up, I recognize myself as an American born Toltec. My awakening to the shamanic path was preceded by a number of mystical experiences I had beginning in my teenage years that jolted my reality.  And these types of experiences continued throughout my life where I had some profound encounters with Spirit Powers and intelligences from alternate realities.  At the age of 21, is when I was telepathically contacted by my ascended Master teacher that began my conscious journey onto the spiritual path.

Robert Soto is the acting Chairman of the Lipan Apache Tribe.  He is a descendent of Chief Poca Ropa of the Little Breech Cloth Band of the Lipan Apache Tribe located in south Texas.

Robert has been Indian dancing for about 57 years, since he was 8 years old.  He is also presently is the Chairman of the South Texas American Indian Dancers, a group which consists of about 45 dancers and 25 non-dancers from 16 different tribal groups. 

He has been a Feather Dancer for over 48 years and has won many awards for his Indian dancing and artwork in various pow wows throughout the nation. He has been Gourd Dancing for many years and currently is an active member of the Gulf Coast Tia Piah Gourd Dance Society of Houston, Texas. He been performing the Eagle Dance and the Hoop Dance for over 40 years.  When Robert dances, he dances in honor of his ancestors who danced before him, dance.  He also plays the Key of F# "Love Flute". 

All of Robert's Indian outfit was handmade by him - from the beadwork to the featherwork. His outfit goes with him wherever he travels. He, along with the South Texas American Indian Dancers, performs about 40 times a year across the U.S, Canada, all throughout Europe, South America and Australia.

Robert Soto has also played a role in changing American Indian Rights on the federal level. On March 11, 2006 the federal government brought an agent from the Department of Interior (DIA) into the pow wow circle of Robert's family's pow wow. In the process they took 42 of his eagle feathers.   

Finally, years later, Robert won a lawsuit against the Department of Interior in 2015. As part of the settlement, the DOI gave Robert back his eagle feathers. Also, he and over 200 Lipan Apache Tribe members can own and use eagle feathers and feathers other migratory birds for ceremonial purposes.

The Lipan Apaches today number about 4,500 people.  At one time they were almost annihilated in the area of Southwest Texas and its border with northern Mexico until the 1880's, after Texas had become a state and passed laws forbidding Native Americans from living in the newfound state. At that time, most of the Lipan Apaches moved to the mountains of Mexico and to several of the reservations in New Mexico and Oklahoma. Yet many of them continued to live in the area by changing their names and adopting the Mexican culture.

In his own words :  
" My dear friends the healing modalities that I have learned are that of Tibetan, Atlantean, Lemurian as well as knowledge's from many other civilizations that came before and some that do not reside upon this world, I work with the elementals as well as your guides to assist you in activations deep within your cellular memories thus raising your vibration and helping to bring your beingness to the now time by integrating that of your past selves, future and present which in turn becomes a very powerful combination to wholeness. 

My friends you must know......although these many gifts unfold before me I do not claim what comes through me, I am merely the vessel my hands, voice and energy is that of the Creatorship. Only when I completely surrender to the Creator energy do I become that conduit to the gifts that unfold and it is my honor to willingly do so."

Sam Anderson is of the Dine' People.  To all of you Sam says, "Yá’át’ééh! Shik’éí dóó shidine’é. Greetings my relatives and my people, friends. Shí éí Sam Anderson yinishyé.

My clans are, Dzil tlahnii’ nishli’ (I’m Cove mountian people). To’baazhiinazhi’ ei’ ba’shi’chiin (Born for Two who came to water people). Kinyaa,aanii da’shi’ ei’ da’shi’nali’ (My Paternalgrand parents are Towering House people). To’baazhiinazhi’ ei’ da’shi’ceii. (My Maternal Grandparents are Two Who came to water people). This is who I am as a Dine’.

My sacred ancestral homes are To’beehwiisgani (Hardened mud around the water) is where I grew up. On the map you’ll see it as Pinedale NM. This is where my mom’s side of the family call home. Be’Akiid Ho’teeli’ (Wide Lake) is where my dad’s side of the family call home. On the map you’ll see it as Mariano Lake.

These two sacred places are where I have received most of my traditional teachings and understanding of life from my elders and going to ceremonies. I do my best to carry on these teachings and passing them on to the younger generation. 

Currently I’m a preschool teacher working with beautiful Indigenous children. I incorporate a lot of cultural teachings. I love teachings the Indigenous values to the little ones. 

I have also run a cultural program in a residential hall at an all Native High school. One of my job duties was a Traditional counselor. Bringing our children back on the red road by reconnecting them through traditional teachings, prayers and songs. 

I’m also honored to be initiated to do the Northern style traditional dance through the powwow circle. I travel the country attending many inter-tribal celebrations by dancing, drumming and singing in the sacred circle with the relatives. 

My journey in life I believe to be the bridge between many cultures. We are all journeying on this sacred path. We need to share the teachings so that we can better take care of Mother Earth. Together we can teach the younger generations so they can carry on the teachings.
