Duane Loken as Teacher

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 20:22:52 +0000

Duane Loken is a Native American, living in California. He was invited to participate in Ricochet’s TV show, Unbreakable due to his experience of nature and many forms of wildlife within it. After many lengthy discussions with the producers of the show, they decided to use Duane Loken as the Indian guide. They felt that with all the information that Duane was able to share with them, they referred to him occasionally within the production office as Teacher. Although at the time this seemed like a good natured inside joke, it happens that came the day of production, they actually referred to Duane as Teacher. Even though Duane feels this is not any title or acknowledgement he has legitimately earned, it’s something the production people wanted to present in this manner. There are many things that Duane did share with them, and being television, whatever information Duane gave them, was utilized in the way that production felt would best suit the application whether it was actually relevant or not. Duane hopes that viewers take this in the way of lighthearted and good natured entertainment, rather than something to be picked apart for absolute extreme accuracy. Duane wishes to thank anyone who has viewed this, for taking their time to look at it and hopefully saw something entertaining in it.

Duane used to have a website on http://www.duaneloken.com/, but we took it down pending a redesign (which we haven’t had time for). It’s just one page right now, but it does include some video links and a few other bits of information. There’s a Norwegian full site at http://ulvefot.com/. He’s also on Facebook - a page maintained by the webmaster.

How I have come to this place

admin — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:22:16 +0000

Over my years of travel and meeting many different people, I have been asked all kinds of questions about myself and native american concepts, culture, myths and practices. It is with a heart of thankfulness and humility that I find myself in this place. Knowing what I have put my spirit and body through in the journey of my life would make most folks say, “what was he thinking?” But as I look back and forward in my heart, I was always trying to find the footpath that would lead me to be a better human being to myself and others around me. The spirit of mother earth is always trying to teach me lessons and knowledge no matter how stubborn I have been.

If we look back in time, humans did not always have so many man-made things to survive upon. Yet they lived and were healthy and connected to the nature and people around them. The energy of life is in all of nature and the wind that blows through it is like the breath of life. I have sometimes stood in a beautiful place in nature and taken a deep breath to fill myself with that place. If you stand in silence and listen with a good heart, there are many things to learn. Wisdom begins with our understanding of our place in this world.

Everything that we do to our bodies and to those around us is remembered - a lot like a battery stores a charge. If we do something bad, it remains for a time, as well as if we do something good. By taking care of how we treat these things we can change the state and spirit of them. But this takes time because you are slowly effecting that which has been stored. Most of all nature, including me and you, is governed by this truth.

Many of us in this modern world have forgotten the importance of our spirit and how it is connected to the things around us. Someone who is connected has an awareness of the state and spirit of other people and nature. This leads to qualities such as respect, humility, generosity, patience, honor and courage. With great sadness I see these attributes of power leaving mankind a little more each generation. This is why it is so important we live by good example to show the young people the benefits of these things. For it is they who will define the world.

It is sad that men have become so reliant upon man-made foods and products. We have been given one body to use. If we supply it with healthy food from nature, work hard and exercise consistently, it will work well for a long time. As you do more good things to your body and to those around you, your body will become cleaner and your mind clearer.

It is my belief that those who have had knowledge handed down to them should carry it to the next generation. I have been blessed with a lifetime of trials and difficulty. Everyday I struggle to overcome the pain of my past with humor and love. I have a heart to teach and learn. What I know is like one feather from the whole eagle. But I always strive for wisdom because this comes from a different place.

Our knowledge as mortals is limited. There are many things we will never know. Sometimes you just have to believe, and in that blind belief you find absolute reality and truth.

Until we meet again… pâhávêstánové

We’ve added a feed from Friendfeed to the news page. We’ll use it to put news about Unbreakable in general, as well as mentioning anything new regarding Teacher or the site. You can add the feed to your RSS reader or check out the News page to see what’s on there. We’ll hopefully find new stuff to add every day - only quality items about the series.

The design is finally done

admin — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 21:22:40 +0000

Webteam speaking: The design for Teacher’s site is finally more or less done. We’ll probably find stuff that doesn’t work over the next days, but it’s hopefully finished enough it can go live and stay live.

We hope you will enjoy checking out the site.

Teacher is planning on writing a lot of stuff that we’ll post over the next few weeks.

Don’t forget to tune in to episode 6 of Unbreakable, where you’ll see Teacher in the Everglades in Florida!
