Well I'm a euro-mutt myself, heavy on the Brito-Celtic isles.
I don't have first hand info, but an inlaw of mine is an anthropologest.
How do I state this delacately, authentic Native American mystical 
proctioners aren't anymore free of politicing then any other religious
tradition.  I really with it were otherwise, and I in no way wish to
discourage any one from studying these beliefs.  I just thought this
was worth stating and keeping in mind.  
On the other hand , I am interested in hearing no about these beliefs.  The nat
Native American group has always been interesting to me, but I must admit I
don't know much about the differences from tribe to tribe.

it really is too bad, spiritual searching would be one place every one could
benifit from politicing stopping, but I degress. I realy would love to read any
information any one has to share on the original subj'ect!

Chris, to start an item, type "enter" at an ok: prompt, write what you
have to say, that is, what the item is about and how you'd like it handled,
then type a . on its own line.  You will be asked for a title.  Would you
please start an item about Native American Spirituality?  Thanks, dear.
Oh, try !help edit or !help pico at an ok: prompt to find out about a
full-screen editor to get rid of the typos and let you think things out.

I'd like to hear more about the ritual you're working on.  When will it be?
Where?  Is it a place where you have a strong connection to the land? If
so, how do you build that into the work?
