I/we too are from the decent of 'mostly good' white church teachers and our husband is part Cree as are our children. We, have no idea of the exact tribe but it does not make it any less so...even if some tried to separate.

This is good to learn about the presence of the 'wise prophet' and how it helped us resolve the dilema of where our allegience is. We could understand about this presence through the son of god, being the teaching we know.

My mother-in-law was the gentle carrier of this wonderful heritage, however, her lips were sealed but not her congenial behaviour. No that could never be supressed and now our daughter and our niece carry this same light. Humbling to say the least.

We feel very sad for our husband's mom and his family and now our children that they never got to receive the knowledge of this first nations history growing up as we only were told much later. We will try to go to that community someday and ask what we can do to learn more. We hope to live long enough before it maybe is no more.
