Nikki Zephier is the daughter of the late Chief Golden Light Eagle, one of the “Original Code Carriers” of Turtle Island. For over 25 years her father shared indigenous knowledge through books, conferences, talks and more. In 1996, he organized the first Star Knowledge 11:11 gathering. 

While her father was teaching all around Turtle Island, he was clearing a path for her to continue his legacy. During this time, she has been hard at work raising 5 children and is now the grandmother of 1 child. Her mother and father have passed down a heart full of unconditional love and compassion for all nations and races that she carries with her. 

To carry on her father’s legacy, she has organized the next Star Knowledge 11:11 gathering being held in Wagner South Dakota on November 11th- 13th 2022. This event will be held as a remembrance of her father and to bring people from all nations, colors, and beliefs together. An amazing panel of wisdom keepers in the form of indigenous leaders, artist, teachers, and speakers from all around have been assembled. The people she has gathered are there to share their knowledge and love to all those that attend the event.
