R&S->Religion: OTRR What the buffalo mean to our people
Posted on Friday, October 26 @ 17:57:32 CDT (2930 reads)

AUTHOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER: Shelley Bluejay Pierce
Time never stops and is always moving us forward and through the changes of seasons. Time stands as an unforgiving taskmaster that regulates the passage through eternal tides.
One breath at a time and one second at a time adds together to a life well lived or one filled with sadness at missed opportunities to make the world a better place. On this September day there was peace, prayers, songs and the drum joining together with the buffalo and humans in a meadow where time seemed to stand still.
The winds calmed, there was no falling snow or rain, the birds called to each other, buffalo slept peacefully or dusted themselves in the soft dirt and simply lived at peace as a family unit.
As Scott began his prayers with the pipe and in praying with and for the buffalo, a door opened that linked our past, present and our future.

AUTHOR: Hannah Allam
St. Paul Pioneer Press
When Germaine Tremmel and Sharon Mountain organized "Gathering of the Heartbeat'' in Minneapolis seven years ago, they created an annual retreat where American Indian women could celebrate tradition and challenge taboos by singing around a ceremonial drum.
Dozens of people from across the country and Canada now participate in the annual gathering, kept alive by an increasing number of women turning to the drum and other sacred objects usually reserved for men.

Source: Oral History as told by Ken Saunders
All Native North American Peoples attach special significance to the eagle, and its feathers.
The eagle flies higher and sees well than any other bird. Its perspective is therefore different from those of us held close to the earth.
Our Creator also has a different perspective of what occurs below in this world of physical things in which human kind resides.
