You probably love to come up to the Lakota Rez and Sundance ! I'm sure they'd let you right in ! It's a "native thing" you could lay claim to it also ! How about going to The Kiowa Ceremonials , I'm sure you'd fit right in. Not The Cheyennes Ceremonies though , we're all *ssh*les !

A quote from a Canadian Aboriginal website:
Sweetgrass is one of the four plants (tobacco, sage, red cedar and sweetgrass) considered as sacred to First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. It is known for its sweet scent, which is intensified when it rains or when burned. It is usually associated with the Prairies but is found in many different growing conditions from low meadows, forest openings, along lake shores but also in subalpine and alpine zones. It is found across North America, Northern Europe below the Arctic Circle. PS: Canada is just below the Arctic Circle. You really should research what you say before you say it. If you are going to accuse me of something, have the right information. I suggest you learn about Canadian Aboriginal culture and you will find its quite similar in some respects to American Aboriginal culture. Then, you can have an informed opinion on Inuit people instead of assuming you know about Inuit culture. |

I never said I thought everyone lived in harmony. I've read history. You aren't the only tribe or culture to use smudge. Your arrogance surrounding the idea of other cultures using smudge suggests a lack of respect for others. I'm not a thin blood. I state my Quantam, you don't ever state yours. I don't need or want your acceptance. I already have the acceptance of my Native family members. Your opinion is futile. I'm secure in my identity with my own Native culture. |

This was the first post we saw from her:
Originally Posted by WomanfromOz "Hi, I'm a girl from outback Australia that grew up thinking she was Spanish, Scottish and Asian. I never met my grandfather because he died before I was born but I saw plenty of photos and he clearly looked Asian as far as I could see. He didn't know what his ethnicity was but assumed Asian. After having many DNA tests to confirm I found out that I am part Native American and Inuit. Besides my Italian, Spanish and Scottish. I've matched up with many people who have Cherokee blood as well as Inuits. All of the people I match who have Cherokee blood are descendants of Fivekiller. I believe my Great grandmother Esther was in America before she came to Australia and she arrived here pregnant. It feels a bit surreal to find out I have Native American Ancestry. My mother and I have always been interested in Native American culture, jewellery, medicine, spirit religion etc. We both have always used natural medicine and have always been very spiritual. We are both Clairvoyant and have always wondered where it came from. I'm not sure if we have the same spirit guides but are very intune with nature and animals. My Grandfather was a farmer and butcher and my mother used to assist him in animal slaughter and skinning from when she was a child. A world away from where my Ancestor came from on the plains of America. I've always been drawn to Native American men in a big way, I had a long distance relationship with a Native American man I met online. He died before I got to meet him in person sadly. I've always had a longing to visit America and go to a reservation from when I was a little girl. I'm looking forward to experiencing Native culture and hospitality one day. Is it difficult to find a reservation to visit to experience Native culture? Will I be accepted as a part Native woman and be allowed to come to a Powwow? It would mean a lot to me to be accepted in this way. I'm don't want or need a piece of paper or a stamp to prove anything. I know I am Native, it's in my heart, and the blood that fills my veins. A certificate doesn't add anything to how I feel about being part Indian. I feel very privileged to say that I am part Native American and carry the spirits of my Ancestors." ✨✨

If your wife was Inuit then she would have told you that Inuit people use sweetgrass and even make baskets about of it instead you asking me if they used it or not. Which part of Canada is your wife from? |

To the OP:
I suspect you appreciate this, but it needs restating. Forgive me if I repeat something you already know. Native ways spring from very different roots than those of Europe. These differences run deep. The New World does not have Hellenistic roots. One area of significant discontinuity is modes of learning and inquiry. Western methods of inquiry are shaped by Plato's Socratic Dialogues. In the west you question and you debate. Classroom learning is deductive -- ie I stand in the front my students lecturing and demonstrating. I will tell them what patterns they should see and how they should preform a task. Then I will probe their understanding by questioning. And they will refine their understanding by questioning me. Native learning is different. It is largely inductive. There is no Socrates in the front of the classroom, questioning and debating. There are eyes and ears and brain. You observe and reflect. You watch others and when ready copy. The patterns slowly emerge. The instructor models and talks around the subject. You're left to put the pieces together. When you must offer direction it is done without imposing on the autonomy of student, often by analogy. Further, like all cultures the sacred is treated with respect and care. The difference is, in some Native cultures, part of that respect is embodied in a need to know approach to information about the scared. Realize the sacred can be dangerous if abused. There are metaphysical consequences to the sharing and use of scared knowledge. Thus information may not be readily shared, even within the tribe. For example as a woman, I don't need to know what men do in their ceremonies. Questioning about such matters is done very carefully in many Native cultures. If you're going to ask you must be prepared for silence to great your inquiry. Not out of maliciousness, but out of respect for the Creator's original instructions. It is important to listen carefully to the words spoken and those not given voice. Both have things to teach you. Last edited by OLChemist; 10-28-2018 at 10:45 AM.. |

It really doesn't matter anymore ! You obviously don't know any more than it takes to be picked apart in this forum. You should go make up some more stories for us to pick at. It's been "Real" and it's been "Fun" but I can't say it's been "Real Fun"........Oh wait , but it has !
