God child presence?
First thanks for tuning in.
I have a short to tell you and some questions to ask.
My father was born in Idaho in 1909. Close or within the Nes Peirce land (reservation) the story that I got was that Grandma was in poor health and not able to breast feed. Grandpa had a open repour with a Indian family and he took my father as a new born and asked for help. It was deep winter and milk was not readily available. He did not want to loose a child. As a result of a Nes Peirce woman taking him in and breast feeding him it offered a god child presence to my father within the Indian family and community. Many, many stories he told.
My question. Does the tail represent actual and normal sociality structure and or how far does that deviate?
I have lived with this story most of my life and never asked anyone of greater understanding of customs for their take on it.
Thanks so much, Archer D

Hi Archer, I passed your comments to a friend of mine who is a man from the Lakota tribe. This was his response:
“In the old days surrogate Lakota mums would let another mums baby suckle them. I don’t know for certain, but I’m guessing other tribes would do the same, as would pioneer women.
Taking the baby and helping it to survive with “God presence” possibly prayers to help the baby along, or maybe the baby being raised in a home of among Christian values. Beyond this, I’m not sure what is meant.”
Obviously this is just from the Lakota point of view but maybe things were different with the Nez Perce.

Thanks for the info, relayed message.
I must say that I am honored that someone with understanding would respond. it is good in all ways. If further contact is possible then you are welcome to relay my profound gratitude. Especially with the Lakota. Through my understanding I experienced a life of being a shamans apprentice. Yet took my own life after my mate and child died in labor. I blamed myself for not being able to save them. I blamed that gods that I believed in. I now (In this life) understand that the powers at hand where in full force to take me where I am today.
The stories told by family where that there was regular conflicts between siblings due to my fathers relationship with the "Indians" He told me a story that one day he went to a fire side style story telling that was a regular part of the couture. Being a bit Brave or ignorant he sat close to the story teller. During the session he picked up my father and say him on his knee/lap. A native Indian holding a white man child on his lap does not hold conformity to the said to be narrative of the normal conduct of the natave people. Then told the story of the killing at the Whitman Mission near Walla Wall WA. Sparking continued initialization of the indigenous culture. He said to me many times in my life that wheat was tole about our history was not correct.
