Welcome to Columbus
Ohio
While looking for
information about a name of the ceremony Native Americans did to become a man?
Indian country had well
over Five thousand tribes before first contact and each had their culture and
ceremonies, many ceremonies were basically the same because all were a form of
prayer to and from Creator.
Remembering that
(Religion in Indian country) was Fear (Love and Obey) Creator!
Some tribes send their
young man into the wilderness for a period of time to learn about Mother Nature
before becoming a man.
As a Native American of
the east coast, I look at this question as the old Hollywood black and white
films with an Italian dressed as an Indian Medicine man dancing around with a
teenage boy that just came back from battle as some kind of a hero?
I use an Italian simple
because film directors back then used dark skinned Italians in movies as
Indians?
They could not find a
Native American?
In my Native American
Tribes we use real Traditional American Natives!
Gwaitoko (boy to man
ceremony)
As boring as this
answer is going to be the truth is that as soon as a boy in the culture in our
tribe turns thirteen, a Four Corner ceremony in a sacred circle and they are
excepted to be a man.
By the way, if you are
seeing a Medicine man other than by accident, he is not a Native American
Medicine man from an East coast tribe, this goes against Creators blessings!
Ceremony to become a native man?
