  Not really, you need to remember, the majority of religions borrow from oters all the time.  Now there may actually be something to the trinity that was understood in the beginning, but you know mankind, now it means whatever the hell we want it to mean.
In remembrance of Moonbaby, one of the brightest and most glorious stars to ever grace the Monstrous community.  Missed you will be, forgotten NEVER.

hmmmm i must agree but that leaves one question why doesnt the great one above have three equally great noodly appendages
or does his great noodly appendage manifests itself in three dimensions  astral, physical and mental?

Ill make it kinda simple, because I could write more than most would wont to read, that and different tribes have different, but similar beliefs.

The cherokee name for god is promounced Yee Ho Wah. "thats not the way its actually spelled," and concistes of three very seperate intitys. They never argue or anything like alot of greek gods, and gods in other religiouns, but all have there own seperate dutys.
but they are not 1 god with three seperate parts like in christianity.

most think nature is worshiped in native american culture, and that is not to far from true in a way, and like I said all tribes are different, even different tribes from the same natioun.

My Grandfather on my Dads side was full blooded cherokee,
I was lucky enough to get pretty close to him for about three years before he died,
he taught me alot, mostly usefull things for survival, but I also learned alot about the
religiouns and myths.

My Great Grandfather on my mothers side was half souix, I never knew him, but from what I have heard he was crazy, he killed a guy and was hung for it.

Yould never know it by looking at me though. Both my sisters look like native americans,
but me and my brother not a bit.

Do you live in a reservation or something? I'm not being racist, just curious.Do you really have a shaman?

No I dont live on a reservatioun.
I dont have a shaman either, but I know one, met him through my Grandfather, I met alot of interesting people through him.
Im not saying I believe in cherokee religioun either, I just think its important to know where we came from.

I wouldent have taken that as racism anyway,
Im proud of my heritage, I think we all should be,
regardless of what it is.
and I dont mind a bit answering questiouns about it,
so if you have more, feel free to ask.

how exactly do shamans or native american religious figures go about there training are they self taught and converse with others
or do they go by a apprentice ship method?

Well its sort of an apprentice ship,
but one has to be born with "The Gift"

they are usually recognized at birth by the shaman,
then he takes them under his wing.

The child will be put through a series of tests and training

Are there any description as to what king of a gift IS the  'Gift'?
I mean, does he sense it on psychic level, does it manifest it self as a birthmark, abnormal pigmentation, etc?
