Welcome
Lakeland, Florida,
and
thank you for your interest
in
this very important
subject!
The mass
confusion about the culture of the people in
Native American Country
(our
people in and around the New England Area),
is simple to explain if you think
history?
History, at
least back to my birth (the 1940’s), was a time when Euro-Americans were still
calling 'Our People ‘Savages.’
Simple
because we did not understand a religion that approved of murder and may-hem?
Yet another
subject if you dare to ask!
Ceremonies,
all ceremonies, were blessing from our Creator
(God)
and
Because of this
Creator Blessings were not taken lightly.
Leaders of
each ceremony, after the ‘Head Clan Mother and her Shechaim' male or female, as in this subject, Medicine
person would take
many days, weeks and/or month waiting for word in prayer from
Creator.
This leader
was know as a (chief) working under the supervision of the Head Clan Mother.
A (chief) of
the Native American Country People
cannot except a thing for the service they
accomplish!
A (Medicine
Man/Medicine Woman),
should never be seen in public in his or her Regalia
and/or going about the Creators Business!
In today's
world one will often see someone in makeshift clothing patting themselves
on
the back and 'emesis out nonsense' while 'accomplishing nothing' and 'seeking your
money'!
Medicine man or
Shaman stories?

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-Woman is
a collector of particular group of herbs (Kinnick, Kinnick) for the
Medicine-Man.
A Medicine Man uses
these particular groups 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.
