Merging Wisdom

The life of an Indian is like the wings of the air. That is why you notice the hawk knows how to get his prey. The Indian is like that. The hawk swoops down on its prey; so does the Indian. In his lament he is like an animal. For instance, the coyote is sly; so is the Indian. The eagle is the same. That is why the Indian is always feathered up; he is a relative to the wings of the air.

It is the general belief of the Indians, that after a man dies, his spirit is somewhere on the earth or in the sky. We do not know exactly where but we are sure that his spirit still lives. So it is with Wakantanka. We believe that he is everywhere yet he is to us as the spirits of our friends whose voices we can not hear

The voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers. If this is Paganism, then at present, at least, I am a Pagan
