Question
asked today
A
Native American traditionalist is a person old enough to remember the teaching
first hand by the elders, now ancestors.
Old
enough to be wise enough to find ways to help make the old and the new ways
work together for the good of everyone!
For
instance,
One can
have a pipe ceremony using only traditional herbs while being a smoker of
modern cigarettes
While
knowing to never mix the two at the same time.
One can
have a traditional funeral while allowing a religious group to have their
ceremony first,
Knowing
that two ceremonies are better for the grieving family.
A
traditionalist remembers time gone by when,
if one
wanted to swim that person could strip down to a bathing suit,
leave
everything on a picnic table,
swim
for an hour or so
and
find everything still on that picnic table.
This is
a prayer for a return to the good old days to help improve living today!
