This event is booked at a college as a "Native Red Indian" ceremony. At least in the US you could stop this kind of thing at a college or university by pointing to its offensiveness to Native students, not to mention the bigoted title theyre using. Any chance someone could complain to this college? I'd be glad to be in contact with the college myself if its help.

Mike Chirobokow
Mike Chirobokow indian name is Na' To' Win' Niso, which is a Blackfoot word which translates into Sacred Warrior Coming Down. This name was given to me by a Blackfoot elder on the Blood Indian Reservation in Alberta, Canada.
I have over 20 years experience working and living amongst the Indian people of Canada. During that time I have spent studying and learning from elders, the Indian culture, spirituality, rituals and ceremonies primarily of the Blackfoot and Cree Indians. I have been adopted into a Cree family, sundanced with the Blackfoot and later becoming a sundance leader, holding that position for six years.
With over 25 years in community development, I have offered and shared my knowledge and skills working to make better, healthier communities.
"The world is changing, and as it changes there are new tools emerging, which we can use to help our families, our workplaces, others and ourselves".
The sweat lodge is one of those tools, old yet new, supporting change within our surroundings and ourselves. Bringing all elements of our being together, body, mind, emotions and spirit into what we believe will be a profound experience, promoting cleansing, personal development, team building, stress management and revitalization.
Thanks for your greetings everyone!

Wind Spirit
Home
Wind Spirit represents a connection to Spirit, to the Universe, to Creation, all that is love, whole, and healthy. Even as the wind blows and no one knows from whence it came or where it goes, so is Spirit, the great force of the Universe that fills all and gives life.
Decades, centuries and millennia have come and gone, bringing with each turn of time, information and understanding. We come to this time, the present, through all the changes, the turmoil, the conflict, the discovery and knowledge, side by side.
There is a growing understanding, a realisation, of our place under the Sun, of our relationship to the Earth and all upon it, an evolving realisation of our ancestors who, in their simplicity, knew and were connected.
As we slowly see this place, remembering, we understand that all things come from Spirit, this ancestral knowledge,no matter which culture, given to all, to assist us on our path in this life and our journey from the Earth to the Sky.
