First let me say that I am very busy working on some things but made a special effort to come online to address this with you, so please, don't waste my time or try to bullshit me.

I have to be honest in that to me something about your story dont sound exactly right, but that may just be my suspecious nature.

In my opinion a simple curiosity is not nearly reason enough to consider teaching anyone any thing about our Sp0irituality but that is a choice to made by your Elders and noone else.

First off what Nation are you of? I will need your Fathers name, your Uncles name and if you know of any other Relative that is active in the tribal community would be a great help.

I will talk to someone of your Tribe and if they can verify your heritage and are willing to help you I will put you in touch with them.

It is simply not at all acceptable to teach any of our Spiritual traditions online or out side of a tribal setting for that matter. This is a commonly held conviction and anyone who you may find willing to teach online or in any other setting such as that is full of it and most likely some kind of exploiter and is more interested in what you can give them then any thing "real" they may have to offer you.

Read this very carefully, no traditionals will teach online or in any uncontrolled setting. If you fall for this you ARE going to be taken advantage of, there are many unscrupulous people that prey on people just like you. Some just want money or prestige but many are sexual predators etc......stay way way away from anyone offering any teaching outside of your own Elders.

It sounds like it's a secret or something.

No, it is not a 'secret'. It is called having respect for your people, your heritage, and your beliefs. Personally, I admire Walks for his approach to this.

Walks, I apologize for making a remark here after you said it was for one person only, but that needed to be addressed. Sorry
