I came across a broshure here in the Cedar City public library, on a bulliten board, and removed it. According to the broshure, Raymond White Bear is a Reiki Master, Lakota Elder, Teacher, Ordained Minister, Native Healer, and "Shaman!"
Quoted from the broshure:
"The Deseret News calls him the "New Age Native, and the "Alternative Medicine MAn." This Indian is a former rodeo cowboy, championship boxer, Sundancer, and survival instructor... By blending the shamanic traditions of his Lakota Ancestors with the healing ways of Asia, he has created a new path of balance and wholeness... White Bear teaches a reverence for the Earth and the Sky, and that in order to be whole, a person should understand and acknowledge their connection to the world."
"White Bear can be contacted to arrange various ceremonies, including;
~Blessings
~Weddings
~Vision Quests
~Healings
~Sweat Lodge
~Cleansings
~Rites of Divorcement
~Stress Reduction
~Rites of Passage
Times may be also arranged to receive individual or group instruction in;
~Wilderness Living Skills
~Native Lore and Stories
~Reiki Attunments
~Spiritual Living Practaces
~"Chanupa" (the way of the pipe)
...Such things as payment will be arranged on an individual basis, dependant upon services rendered and a persons ability to pay. (although White Bear has stated that he is perfectly willing to accept payment in horses and buffalo robes, just like his fathers before him!)
