Thanks, I enjoyed making it for my friend.
Ha, It's also funny.I was just going to bring up gifts and talents.
In reference to your question."why is
‘native way of knowing’ different?"
Maybe a part of it is not unfolding and learning about ones own individual and collective gifts and talents.
Maybe there is too much going after and adopting others gifts and talents.
Like reading about something and wanting to have that persons gifts and talents.
I was reminded of early on when I began meditating I had read somewhere,
"Pray to the White Eagle before meditation and it would help".
Well I was curious so I did. I was surprised because during my meditation I was kinda reprimanded or corrected.
I received a clear message."Don't search for the answers,the answers will come."
So from that point I quit trying to adopt things I read into any type of practice willy nilly without serious investigation and contemplation.
So I've attempted to follow a path that I see unfolding in front of me that has a certain pull not just a curiosity.
Also things that speak to me and pull me naturally.Through visions and dreams and a inner Heart knowing or a outer Spirit guidance.
Of course I get side tracked. I have very human tendencies and emotional traumas to tend to also, and I have a thinking brain.LOL
Also without any sort of traditional upbringing, I was raised in the Industrial fabric of the USA but I was always in rebellion to it.
So you could say I was lost and boy was I.
Also anyone could say I am still lost and I would not argue.
I see my path and I see my growth, so I know my Fukarwe tribe is at least headed in the right direction.LOL
I have no idea if this helps any to answer your question any.
It is just something I was reminded of, these natural gifts and talents.
Here in the USA they tell you "you can be anything you want to be".Of course they mean within their system.
