Elder's Meditation of the Day July 30,2005

"You want to know who's a real medicine man? He's the
one who doesn't say 'I'm a medicine man.' He doesn't
ask you to come to him. You've got to go and ask him.
And you'll find he's always there among his own
people."
--Louis Farmer, ONONDAGA
The Medicine Man is a role model of what it is like to
live in harmony and balance with the Creator. It takes
a long time, a lot of sacrifice and discipline to
become a Medicine Man. A Medicine Man is humble and
never crass about anything. He knows he lives to do
the will of the Great Spirit. He knows he is to help
the people. He lives very low key - the more low key
he lives, the more people seek him out - and such is
life. The more one serves the people and is quiet
about it, the more he is sought out. The quieter he
is, the more powerful is his medicine.

Great Spirit, allow me this day to be humble. Allow me
this day not to seek attention, but to live quietly
and keep my focus and attention on serving You.

Msit Nókmaq/All My Relations,
When a person says" bring tobacco and we can pray
does not make them a Medicine Man. Truthfully the word
Medicine Man is a term that does not appropriately fit
the people we see walking the path. It is most likely
another of the whitemans labels like a peace pipe.
Spiritual people do walk and are constantly being
seeked out for one reason or another!
There are a few who want the
glory but do not wish to take the walk on the path. A
few have been labled and constantly deny it.
Apparently many see something good about what is done
and they are honored to be able to work for Creator.

Gitsch Manito-Creator,Wásóq-Spiritworld,
In the day you allow me all great things, My walk to
defend our people. Thank you Creator for showing me
direction to get what is needed done!
Welálin-Thank You

So you're claiming that the meditation is a fraud? On what basis?

[educatedindian]

What's pretty funny is that by the standards of this meditation, Sonier is a clear cut fraud.

He set himself up as a relly super spirchul type, making announcements at a powwow, doing fake ceremonies that descrated ancestors' remains.

He's not among those he falsely claims are his own people. Every MicMaq band denies him. So his "own people" would be white wannabes like him. His small bunch of followers are people with distant ancestry who don't know much.

He's sure not low key.

He's always saying "bring some tobacco and we'll talk," (when he's not saying foul things to disrespect women).

He's sure not quiet or humble.

And he's one of the biggest crass holes I've ever met.

Kinda funny, Strangely Hard of Hearing Woman thought this criticized us when it tells off Sonier.

Look up Freudian Slip, SHW.
