Rupert Encinas or Ba'ag Da. Canku Luta – The Red Road.

The term 'red road' or 'canku luta' comes from the Lakota people and refers to the daily spiritual life. What does this mean to Rupert Encinas, Ba’ag Da, or Eagle Flying, who has served his people as a ceremony master for over 40 years, and what it means to people close to him?

Rupert’s spiritual name is Ba'ag Da, Eagle Flying, and he represents the spiritual lineage of his people, which goes back all the way to stories of creation. His tribe's native name is O'Odham, meaning Human, and he comes from the San Xavier Reserve near S-cuc Son (nowadays Tucson).

In 1975, Rupert met with the Tatanka Ohitika, or Brave Buffalo, a Lakota spiritual leader. He also instructed Rupert through his first sweat lodge ceremony and his first Sun Dance. Since then, Rupert has deliberately participated in the Sweat Lodge ceremonies, Pow-wow meetings, Sun Dances, Native American Church ceremonies etc. He has been following this sacred path faithfully to this day and has also revived many old ceremonies.
