Hi Everyone!

I am a Cree woman from Northern Saskatchewan, living with the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotia.  I work as a reseacher for a Mi'kmaq heritage centre, and I just have the greatest experiences with the l'nu here.

I felt compelled to join as I belong to other forums and it just makes me cringe when non Natives start advertising their fees for services for Native spirituality.  Holy Smokes, it makes me just want to spit...especially when I try to tell them we are not shamans and they have the gall to tell me I'm wrong.  Arrgghhh

Also, I'm trying to find info on a fella who says he's legit as the Dakota Nation made him so, and has invited many to join him in his retreats to find their way to Native spirituality, sigh, just sigh...... this same fella went on to say that Native folks have to stop whining about their past as he or his kids never did anything.  Jeez, yet he's been sanctioned by the Dakota Nation.  I'm wondering, has the Dakota Nation stated that they want to forget their past?

Well, just rambling now.  I've read some of the forums here already, and I'm impressed with the amount of info here.  Can't wait to explore and meet new friends.

Tansi, Raven

Hi and welcome to the board,
I would ask which Dakota Nation is he talking about?
Since the nation is divided into many different reservation
in the United States. There are 21 different Dakota nation reservation.
I can tell you the nation never gave anyone any right because
they could not all agree to the same person.
