So is spiritual-endeavors.org not your site? Because the message was worded in such a way as to suggest it was, and you list no other site on there as yours that I can see. Sorry if I mistook their words for yours, but I don't see your site listed.
guest:
No, "spiritual-endeavors.org" is not my group and I am in no way associated with it. I posted those links in my reply to "my" group so that members could look them up to see where I got the information from.
Sorry for any confusion on this.
"My" groups are:
http://groups.msn.com/DaughteroftheRaven/daughteroftheraven.msnw
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DaughterOfTheRaven/
...'course it may likely be that you still won't agree with much on them!

great article!
I'm not stealing anything. I make no claim to the rightful "ownership" of these items, nor do I pass them off as authentic in anyway. (Except for the ones that are - like several items I have from a rez near Edmonton, made and blessed by elders.)
I, like many others, am a person without a country, without a culture. Like many others, I had my country taken away from "me", (via my ancestors). "We" were forced to leave and my ancestry is the result of raping and pillaging of our homes. I am a "white" person born into a country I did not choose but have come to love. A country of mixed heritage.
I posted what I did in the previous messages in the hopes that it may be of help to you. I can continue to help .... or not.

All I can say in reply to this is that native ceremonies and cultural items belong to native people and in native communities. You can not just take them out of context even if you don't claim ownership or authenticity. It *is* disrespectful and the fact that your people suffered in the past as well doesn't make it any more right.
