Guest guest Posted April 30, 2001 Report Share Posted April 30, 2001 --- Dear Dharma, Yes, I am Native American and was raised among my tribe, so yes most of my beliefs are entertwined in native traditions. It is all i know, i dont think i know how to be otherwise, and am not sure i see a need to be otherwise. I love nature and all that God created, and think that in his wisdom He set the Sacred Circle to move as it does, and i would never presume to question His wisdom. I am no more than a grain of sand floating in the wind.
