I know that she was teaching me, but there was no traditional teaching there at the time, it was very strick Catholic, I did not know anything about tobbaco she was a very religious woman she sang church songs. I only started to learn about the teachings in the early 80's and even today the people from my community are strickly church people some still say the traditionl way is evil..
Hi White Bear from Standing Strong Bear, Black Bear Warrior.
Thank you for your welcome and I look forward to hear about your teachings I am an Ojibway traditional woman, I love who I am as a 'First Nation Woman and I cannot say it was like this all my life, our culture was lost because of the Residental School and because we were Christianized, I was alway a spiritual even as a young girl growing up as a stong Catholic but later in life when I started learing about the traditional teachings and started fasting in the Sundance and other ceremonies I loved it so much and the traditional songs came to me as if I always knew my language which was not spoken in my home. My parents started to speak English and when I recall now it was like the language was spoken but not openly, I followed my grandmother around but she never once said to me granddaughter sit down and I will teach you the language or teach me the tradional way of life, like tanning a hide and to thiis day I can even smell the mosse hide that was being prepared and tanned, I watch her cut and clean the moose but I never once got a chance to try it. i ask myslf today was I suppose to say grandmother teach me how to do that? I use to sit and watch her make fishing nets and do so many other things, the only teaching that I was able to remember her teaching me was how to call the wind to clean the blueberries, she showed me how to do this.
I will share more there is so much to say and no one to listen, I am happy that I found this site. Have a great day..
Sincere and humble gratitude for your message. I actually have native american ancestry though I do not know tribe of origin, which is very sad for me. Many Goddesses are guiding me to the tradition of the Eagle and the Condor and the Goddess awakening here on the planet from Isis, to Tonzin, to Unalanui, Milagrosa. So my heart is wide open! I am in a small group doing healing and prayers for mother earth. So we are truly of the one heart. In love, light, service and sisterhood, Nancy
