Well, I dont know eactly what the "gift" is, but shaman can usually speak to the spirits of the dead, including animals. well, from what Ive heard anyway.

Usually one of the children of a shaman will become a shaman, but it dosent always work that way, my Grandfather said some tribes can go for years after a shaman has died, without a new one, In that case I guess when a new one is born, he has to learn alot on his own.

Im still learning about the spiritual end of this stuff.

I'm coming to US for a year this fall, when I do, I'd like to talk to people like that shamans.

[ravinclaw]

What part of the U.S. are you coming to?

A shaman will talk to just about anyone in nead of help, and will answer some questiouns about his practices, but alot of things are kept secret. Certain knowledge can only be earned.

It's because Americans are stupid and think that they can just mix and match all relgions and misuse everything. I am sorry I have a lot of respect for Native American culture and relgions. We have just been horrible so I understand why they do that.

But yes Devinoir it really depends on where your at in the states because shamans are not everywhere. So where are you going?

[Devinoir]

I don't know yet, I'm an exchange student and a host family is going to pick me, so it's pracrtically anywhere.
Where do the most tribes dwell?

[ravinclaw]

All over really, but they are few and far between, relitivly speaking.

The closest reservation to me is about a three hour drive.

some tribes are freindlier that others, Cherokee are prety hospitable to outsiders, cant really speak for any other tribes.

im assuming that the gift in this case would be the susceptibility to being posessed or a adeptness at shamanism

THey mean how well you can converse with the spirits?  Ya see, its no good if all you are is a conduit. You might get possesed cause you arn't strapped in yo driver seat.

[Raziel]

Lazarus dug deep and then got out of his little dug out.
