Don't let me scare you off. I'm not a wanna-be, I'm just kinda making a
poll to see if there are enough people out there to start our own
Conferance for discussion.
Thanks for your support.

I'd hang out there, but I don't know enough to be of use...
not a practitioner, just an interested observer.

(I have a shirt with the title of this item on it.)
I wouldn't even know where to begin a discussion, but I would
like to learn more about Native American culture and spirituality.
A good friend of mine in high school was Ojibway and only rarely
mentioned her culture/traditions. Do people speak more freely
now than they did 20 years ago?

Depends on the person. I've never had any resistance
talking to any pureblood natives. I also have that shirt.
Let's get a discussion going on conf - Synthesis.
Hope to see you there. I was gong to start a seperate
conferance but everybody said that it would clash
with synthesis. So I decided to just talk to people there.

Since we've got a thread going, let me ask a question. What is
the one part of your tradition/culture that non-Native Americans
have the most trouble understanding?

I'm not Native American in race, just faith. I think the one
That most people don't understand is why anybody would
want to be totally passive and non-violent. All through school
I got ridiculed by Jocks because I was a pacifist.
It's a hard path to follow.

It's not that bad when you put your mind to it.

I'm a pacifist as well... just too empathetic to ever want to hurt
anyone.

What things are so important to you that you are willing to hurt others
for them? (Seriously. This is no attack.)

If others were trying to hurt something tat
(er, that) I love dearly, then I would be willing to hurt them.
For instance, my friends, my family, my trumpet, me...
I don't know If there is a situation in which I would use offensive
force. I'll tell you if I get into one.

I think I would use offensive force after having used defensive
force, simply because that is the natural progression in my
mind. This is one of the reasons I try to avoid using physical
force.

Yes, but there is a difference between using offensive force *rarely* and not
using it at all.
