Steven Blue Horse

[herveto]

Hello everybody,

I'm seeking information about Steven Blue Horse, a Lakota Brulé who is coming in France for at least 2 years in France for Sweat Lodges and Yuwipis. He also organizing Vision Quests and Sun Dances in which he leads some French people (usually in summertime, it take place in the US).
He's coming at fall in France and as he was introduced by Michel Black Buffalo (bison noir) a fake shaman (see frauds in France), I would like to get feed back from you in order to display information in France if he is not reliable.

Translation:
Steven Allan Blue Horse : Sicangu Lakota (Brulé) his part of the Sioux tribe of RoseBud in South Dakota. He was born on 5 October 1958 from Marie Blue Horse, sister of Chief Duane Hollow Horn Bear.

"Steven, a Sun Dancer, began to make shamanics dreams when he was fivteen. These dreams showed him the way.
Steven has studied the traditional ceremonies from "old medicine-men". Such ceremonies were always performed away from white people, and he has decided to share with us part of these ceremonies such as the Sweat Lodge and the Yuwipi ceremony.
He is also a traditional NA flute and drums (buffalo hide) maker. Steven also learnt the jewelry craft and realize for more than one year high quality jewels in silver and turquoise.[/b]

For information Steven Blue Horse is located in Santa Fé, NM. Could be seen on myspace and facebook too.

On his facebook and myspace it just mentions him being a flute player. No attempts to claim to be medicine man.

He was fined for holding sweats in his home, for the possible fire hazard.

Apparently he does sweats in New Mexico for tourists from Germany. This page is written by a German describing going thru sweats.  This is the bad google translation of the part where Blue Horse is described.

Well, I had an amazing experience last night (16th May). Wilfie was there too, my hubby,but I can only speak from my view point.
We live in the middle of rural France andhave a friend called Michel who lives about a 3 minute drive away from us..he is French but lived in the States for 40 years and was adopted by the Lakota Nation; he runs sweat lodges and vision quests etc.
Last night we were invited to attend a Lakota Healing Ceremony given by a visiting Lakota Medicine Man called Steven Blue Horse. He is a full blown Native American and a very nice, very down-to-earth man with a wonderful earthy sense of humour.
Anyway we had to wait until it was dark, which is after 10pm here in France, and then we went into a small converted barn which had been completely sealed off from any light source.
Steven had constructed a sacred area in the middle of the room and we, about 25 of us, were ringed around it with our backs to the walls....
