Last fall, an aboriginal
man built a sweat lodge to help friends in his Cree community in Quebec. Days
later, Christian members of the community circulated a petition opposing the
sweat lodge. In response, the Council of the Cree Nation of Ouje`-Bougoumou
passed a resolution banning sweat lodge ceremonies and all traditional Native
spiritual practices. The sweat was subsequently dismantled. Should organized
religion dominate Native spirituality? Is this the sovereign right of a tribal
nation, or does this violate religious freedom? Guests include Redfern Mianscum
(Cree) and Armand McKenzie.

My Creator loves all of Creation
However, let’s face it! Putting out spoken gays in
charge of our youth would be like putting a Fox in your Henhouse?
Or, to bring it home so to speak, like putting
convicted sex offender Jerry Sandusky in charge of your high schools youth
programs?
I am not saying that all gay people will start
enjoying our youth however, only a fool will believe that none will start
enjoying our youth!
Scouts at crossroads in Orlando over gay ban
We need to be putting a hen in charge of our henhouse
and the outspoken gay’s in charge of the Gay Scouts of America?
Why would this be a bad move?
We have Boy scouts, Girl scouts, Brownies, and Cub
scouts, why not Gay scouts?

Native American Church
Today I stumbled on two interesting sites on the
internet.
Thanks to my visitor from the city of
Looking for information on "How native American
say thank you to the creator"?
Do Native Americans say please and thank you?
YES Agagozasu Thank You (A ga go za su)~ thank you and
Nanoutozo Please (nan ou to zo) ~ please
The two sites.
First was a
'Native American Church', I studied over this for a long time however, I
decided not to comment at this time because too many of my postings lately have
been downers.
The next site at first I was a little upset because of
the name 'Without Reservation' because this name reminds me of a book about how
to buffalo this government into starting your own Casino! http://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/can-one-have-cake-and-eat-it-too/
While digging into this page
'Ask an Elder'
I find that not only did I enjoy reading this site I
was please as to how they were able to keep Creator in every answer asked about
Native people and not Christianity but Creator in the Christian life.
Please only read that site after praying and with your
heart and mind?

The fear of Spirituality?
I
can see from our tracker that it is time again to write about Native American
Spirituality from the New England Eastern Woodland true traditional tribes of
my grandfather?
First
a very good note
This
guy has got it, not bad of a non native, or should I say that he believes that
he is a non native.
Native
Spirituality, From Dean Ohlman on September 14, 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This
next one tries to impress us by mixing and matching many words none of which we
should pay any attention too.
In
Therapy
The
Varieties of Religious Therapy: Native American Spirituality
Native
American Spirituality and Psychotherapy an interview with a Native American
healer, physician and psychologist.
Native
American spirituality most share a common belief in the supernatural as
experienced in connection with animals and the environment, visions, spirits,
ancestors, the shaman and communal ceremony. Native American spirituality is
not considered a religion by most adherents, but rather an integral part of all
behavior and identity. "BULL"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This
one was so far off that it dropped off of WordPress.
Native
American Religion (Spirituality)
Background
What do we mean when we speak of Native American religion? Unlike Buddhism,
Christianity, and Islam, it has no single founder. Unlike Judaism
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This
one is the one that I would like to try and sit down with and discuss the
difference between native and witchcraft Spirituality and why traditional
natives do not readily except the Métis as real first people.

If you are a follower of the one and only
Creator, you should not be having sleepless nights because of Trickster
(Coyote), if you know no better and are following Trickster (Coyote) you only
need guidance as to why you fear the night.
Spending most of
your life in a Sweat Lodge does not make you a Native American
NRA/Gun rights activist~ HELP!
Politicians please read!
OK all of you NRA and Gun rights activists it is now
time to put your guns where your mouth is!
You have been stating in your emails, websites and
blogger postings that you believe that our governments want to control you, so
you need your guns to protect yourselves? Well, the vast amount of citizens of
Canada and the United States of America have been saying for years now that we
do not want the dirty Keystone pipe line and for many good reasons however, it
would seem that these two governments do not care! Our native brothers and
sisters are gathering together making ready for war and could use your help
NOW!
Native Americans unite to fight pipelines, including
Keystone XL
We already have far too many pipelines
trashing our precious Ecosystem system we do not need this sludge leaking on our land and into
out drinking water? If we do not stop these money hungry, greedy, crooked politicians
what's next?
Yes, Please pick me
up on your way? No more Mr. Nice Guy
