I have been reading with interest and agreement this website and thought that you would like to do the same.
This is some interesting quotes from the website.
This exists with that. That exists with this. When this ceases, so does that.
The Red Path, a Holy and Powerful Path to God
God, the Great Mystery, is Ever-Present in His Nature
Many people mistakenly think that Native Americans pray to rocks, trees, the wind, fire, water, animals etc. But the fact is that in True Native Spirituality, God-The Great Unknown/Mystery is Always Present in His Nature and Elements and He is referred to and named in prayer. This is an important point...God is prayed to by NAME, even if that name is "mystery", "Great Spirit" or "Wonder", there is still A Name, A Person referred to, whether Male or Female, A Superior Being is believed there and listening to our prayers. Practicing a spirituality that prays to things, without mention of A Superior Being of any kind, is paganism...not Native American Spirituality.
There are roughly 500 different Native American Nations and each practice unique and individual spiritual traditions, rituals and prayers. We here at Sisters of Embracement could not even hope to cover a third of the different ways of Native Spirituality, but we offer what we do know about the Native Ways that some of our sisters do practice which is the Lakota Way.
I would say that my new friends are covering just about all of our over 500 tribes spiritual ways AHO?
