For thousands of years, the Aboriginal peoples of Canada have believed in the healing power of ceremony. Before huge homes and condo developments and office buildings and automobiles, the First Nations peoples of North America were attempting to live in balance with the planet. Though times have changed since then, many Aboriginal people still believe in the balance and the necessity that it be maintained. Some of them are attempting to spread the word about out harmful habits and bring about change and balance. One of these people is Benny LeBeau, also known as Blue Thunder.

Benny LeBeau is a member of the Eastern Shoshone Nation, which is a Native American tribe in the United States. Since First Nations groups predate modern state and national borders, Eastern Shoshone territory includes parts of Wyoming, Northern Colorado, and Montana. Most Native Americans have homes, cars and jobs like everyone else, but have special exemptions to certain government regulations. The reservation that Benny Le Beau comes from is the Wind Rover Reservation in Ft. Washakie, Wyoming.

Benny LeBeau draws on the culture of his tribe as well as from his education in his work. He has studied Cultural Anthropology and Applied Indigenous Studies. He is also a member of a group known as Spiritual Elders of Mother Earth, whose mission is to protect sacred Aboriginal sites by controlling development of things like shopping malls and condo buildings for lease units. Benny LeBeau's aim is to heal our planet by teaching others about how to maintain the balance of the elements and by conducting huge ceremonies meant to restore the balance when things get out of whack.
