How do I know which native clan I was adopted into?

My best answer to this question.

If you do not know to which native American clan you were adopted into.

 You are not adopted into any true Native American Tribe let alone into a clan!

Anytime that a qualified Traditional American Native Leader adopts someone (only a traditional can adopt), that person knows exactly the tribe and clan that person is adopted into, that is of course if it is a real adoption ceremony!

Please go and find an elder to a tribe that you are interested in and seek prayer and true guidance along the path that you are choosing.

Eastern Woodland American Native.

Eastern Woodland American Native.

The traditional native people in my tribe and most tribes in New England that I have been visiting believe that sacred ceremonies are just that, Sacred Ceremonies.

If you go to my Eastern Woodland ( People) American Native website

http://www.sachem-uncas.com/woodland.html

you will first notice that my grandfathers staff is cut off at the top in the above photo, this has been done by another traditional native, my web master,

and it was done on purpose, it is a Sacred Staff.

As part of your Museum tour, you will be guided through outdoor re-creation of a traditional woodland village.

Also exhibits include paintings, photography, sculpture, drawings, and woodcarvings and the museum is accessible to people with disabilities.

Medicine man or Shaman stories?

Another question of today.

Pequot Medicine-man or shaman stories of the eastern woodland Indians.

Before I answer this one please consider this, I am 75, I have a bad heart,

I have already died several times.

Creator (Kiehtan) is not ready for me to leave Mother Earth yet and helped invent a Pacer called (Biventricular Defibrillator Pacemaker).

Before their passing, my ancestors made me promise to teach our past, present and future for as long as I can.

BFC (Before Casinos) one would never find a Medicine-Woman or a Medicine-Man dressed in the 'New Are costumes'!

For sure you would never catch one in native regalia while doing the Creators business.

So, an Eastern Woodland American Native person (Medicine-man, Medicine-woman) is NEVER  a show off.

Because he and she must answer to creator if they do.

In today's world it seems to be a habit for wannabes to find an audience and look foolish trying to be a native?

A Medicine-Women is a collector of particular group of herbs (Kinnick, Kinnick) for the Medicine-Man.

A Medicine Man uses these  particular group of herbs to do many things being directed to do by Kiehtan's (Creator) blessing.

Before first contact, a time when we were overrun by Europeans and their beliefs, there were no Shamans, Witches or War-Lochs among my people.

There are shaman in India and many countries around the world, this may be what is bringing on the confusion because now they are also in 'New age Indian Nations'?

Our medicine people, men and women, are not actors or politicians, witches, war lochs, or magicians, they are just people doing the Creators work the only way that creator wishes the work to be done, with respect to the person or persons involved.

  

Does smudging get rid of good spirits also?

Does smudging get rid of good spirits????

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/does-smudging-get-rid-of-good-spirits.html

My answer is,

NO!

I was believing that I covered Smudging, at least for my people, in past websites and blogs however, I was wrong!

As with my (Children of the plains film one more time)!

blog,

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/

This question keeps coming up also and it is extremely important!

Smudging to me is a talk with Kiehtan (Creator) because after all friends, ‘nothing gets done’ without the blessing from Kiehtan (Creator)!

Smudging does not, get rid of spirits!

Smudging clears and cleans your area of Evil Spirits only, if you falter in your prayers to your Creator for help in having these spirits flee, they will come back.

If you want to also "get rid of other then evil spirits"

just ask them to look elsewhere for the help that they need because you are upset while they are around, they will then leave you alone!

Also to answer another good question this one from

Purchase College state University Purchase New York

smudging good spirits

One can sit were you believe your good spirits may be, smudge and peacefully talk with your spirits however, constantly pray for Creators guidance while at this visit, to be sure that Trickster did not sneak into you visit!
