Tillie Black Bear: Four Directions prayer & song in Michigan

[LisaSelwyn]

these ceremonies should stay within the RED NATION, not sold out for prophet. Its hard enough being Lakota in this day and age without our own selling us out.

@LisaSelwyn Dear LisaSelwyn, Thank you for your comment but you may have a misunderstanding. This video was not done for profit. Tillie Black Bear had her travel expenses covered by university - and maybe small stipend She had to travel a long way. Video will never used for profit. Ref. not showing spiritual ceremonies- there were many things we did not videotape. She felt the four directions was already well known and allowed videotaping. Sincerely, Greg Peterson Volunteer media guy TIP TV

I was wondering. I really want to learn about 4 directional prayers, not sure if this applies as well, but sacred circles and altars as well. I want to learn from the native earth based indigenous people about this, but all I find online is from Wiccan sources. Any recommendations?

Yes we do - I will send you private message with many links on medicine wheel etc.

Can't remember the exact reason but yes there is a significance to starting with west.
