Being Native on Native land
An INtro
To Who I am.
I grew up on a small Indian Reservation near the border of Michigan and Ontario, Canada. My great grandfather was a Chippewa Medicine Man and my great grandmother was an Oneida Medicine Woman – neither spoke English. I have lived in all parts of Canada and the United States and I have learned about people from all walks of life. Prior to bing a Medicine Person, I was a senior policy analyst for a political organization representing Native Chiefs and their communities. Understanding Native treaty rights and the laws that impact those rights helps me help my people.
Practice Makes Perfect
Knowledge is gained
From Experiencing Life
The Journey.
When my son was born I became a single father and I learned a little more about life. When I was 11 years old my best friend was shot and killed and I learned more about death. At 55 I became a grandpa & more to learn yet.
Work Experience.
From picking tobacco plants at 14 yrs old for less than minimum wage to negotiating tobacco rights for Indigenous people, working for a living has taught me the value of learning while earning.
Ceremony Life.
My first solo-ceremony was a 4-day sacred fire 30 yrs ago. My nephew had tragically died and my brother needed me. It was the first in many solo-ceremonies to come. A Medicine person is compelled to help the people.
