I will toot my own horn here a bit...
That video almost documented a Good and moving part of my Life that brought back fond memories...
I was able to be a small part traveling to various reservations and bringing back ceremonial Ways to the people to help turn peoples Lives away from drugs and alcohol and destruction...
All the traditional ceremonial people that drug me around with them was deep into the Sundance Ways...
So they brought me to help and make Fire for ceremony, many Sweat lodges and Vision Quest and Lawampi and Yuwipi and an occasional Sundance...
A snippet I wrote from page 1 of thread
Indigenous Spirit of All colors
Quote:
Here is how my basic Native Spiritual Life began.
I went to a Inipi in about 1990(some call it a Sweat Lodge)
It is more appropriate to call it a Purification Lodge.
This Inipi we call our Mothers/GrandMothers Womb.(Earth).
Anyway I walked up to the fire where there were many cantaloupe
sized lava Rocks being heated Red hot.
The man worked the fire and I was amazed at the Fire and the Rocks.
After sitting in the Lodge and the man brought in the Red hot Rocks
I felt Primordial and this time I was in was gone and it could have been
any time on this Earth.
Something begged at my spirit and it longed and longed for something
like it never longed before.
I thought "WOW I wonder if one day I could carry in these
GrandFather Rocks with the Red hot Life in them?"
So after crawling out of GrandMothers Womb a clean fresh person I asked.
"You think one day I might carry those GrandFather Rocks into the Lodge?"
They said sure tomorrow.
In one day I achieved all my Spiritual goals.
I gave up my old life and jumped in the Medicine Mans van and started
down the Red Road of Life.
I have been carrying these Sacred Red hot Living relatives ever since
and my Life is always Blessed. They have taken me to many places and
I have sat with many Medicine peoples of all colors praying for goodness for everyone and
everything's Life.
As the basic saying goes.Mitakuye Oyasin.

These two words mean “All My Relations” or “We are All Related”. To pray this prayer is to petition God on behalf of everyone and everything on Earth

So your video brought back the how and the why of my travels from that little snippet of meeting the Grandfather Rocks to today...
The video reminded me that I am in the North gate with white flags contemplating the white cold blanket of Forgiveness and Hoping this gate closes well...
Or to translate I'm Hoping for a Good and Peaceful Death...LOL...
...Peace...
