Not trying demean the Native Americans, but when a white person takes up “native spirituality” that basically means that person has hit rock bottom. Of course its a good business selling dream catchers to the desperate.
It's obvious, IMHO, you understand exactly the con that's being pulled off here. I live not that far from Sedona, AZ where there's an industry, and not a cottage industry, dedicated to relieving wealthy liberals of their overweighted purses by peddling them faux Native Am., new age hoopla. When I think about it, it's a shuck and jive that's been going on since the medicine shows of the 1800's.
Native American is somebody born here. My grandfather was an Indian. He, my cousins and most of the Indians I know are Christians.
The only people I see practicing native spirituality are white folk.
