I am interested in the Native American ways...

Wow! You seem to be highly intelligent. Thanking an animal for its sacrifice when you hunted it is very noble of you. Of course they do this in movies such as in "Avatar". I am happy to see that you do your own thinking, instead of depending on others to do your thinking for you.

For me, religion is mostly about social order and control. You find religion in cultures who are subservient to a ruling class such as kings and queens and the such. Hunting gathering cultures such as original Native American cultures did not have "religion". There is no Navajo word for "Religion".

In a sense you are already "Indian". You got a good start with your Earth connection. As you already know there are many different tribes, who have many different ways. I don,t think practicing their ways will help you.

Being smart as you are, don't get to head trippy. Focus on your feelings more, and on your Heart. It would not hurt to go camping for awhile.

Being head trippy... those days are behind me. I used to allow myself to think I was this or I was that... as I said, those days are behind me...

I would love to go camping... and I will. Though I must be patient as I must concentrate on my studies more than relaxation! I plan on visiting much of Ireland this coming summer once classes are finished. I just need to be patient... that is all!
