Welcome to our
visitor from Ogden, Utah
To
One of our posting,
this one about our ‘Keepers of the Sacred Fire’
A Female Fire-keeper
09/22/2017
I believe, although
I am no expert on this, Indian country does not allow female in on many if not all of their ceremonies.
If I may I would
like to speak on a Female Fire keeper?
Pokanket (Wampanoag,
are in the New England Area and ‘Traditional Tribes' in and around it should
still be a Matriarchal Society.
If you live in the
Northeastern part of Native American Country and your ancestors are of this
land, you are in the land of a tribe controlled by a Matriarchal Society.
If a male is telling
a female to get out of any ceremony, gather your warriors and remove him from
the land!
The Shechaim (Male
or Female), runs the tribe and has clan mothers headed by a head Clan Mother.
Every ceremony in
our culture is run by this Head Clan Mother, everyone!

Thank You I am a
Pokanket none as Wampanoag a lot of our culture is lost but I did find that
Wetamoo was a fire keeper and a keeper of the lodge but now we have a fire
keeper that is adopted my ancestors blood was spilled on the land the fire
keeper is keeping the sacred fire he needed help so I offered he said no that I
was a woman so I got upset because my ancestors blood was is in the land not
his but I did not incest but did find out about Wetamoo sent it to our
Sagamore? But thanks again
My answer at the
time was
I am glad that you
brought up your Sunksqua because it rattled my poor old brain about something
that might interest you.
There is a
difference between Indian Country, Native American Country and most if not all
tribes in and from Canada.
Tribes like yours
and mine (in and around New England), are of a Matriarchal and the leaders are
Sunksqua/Sachem/Shechaim leadership with Clan Mothers running the tribe.
Indian country has
Chief.
Canadian and tribes
from Canada have Sagamore’s and the male runs the tribe.
I did meet the last
decedent of the Massachusetts Wampanoag (Shechaim) many years ago.
