Animal welfare, Native American Culture, Harley Davidsons' and anything that creates an adventure. ******* Some Native American children are born with a gift for empathy and working with people to lessen their emotional and psychological problems. They have an inborn talent for knowing just what to say and what's needed at the right time. These can be both boys and girls; there is no gender associated with medicine work. These children also have a talent for working with animals, they can communitcate with them in ways others do not understand. They also have an inborn knowledge of plants and healing herbs, then they are taken in as an apprentice by the village medicine person and taught the medicine ways of the tribe. This goes on for years, and is a lifetime commitment. As these children grow, they learn well and are willing to forego their own personal wishes and desires for the good of their people, then the people of the village begin to trust them. With this trust and training, medicine people come into their own. Trust them. They are born with a natural ability to heal the mind, spirit and body, and that ability is nourished so that it can flourish for the good of all. Spoken by: Julia C. White, Cherokee/Sioux ******* I am one of these children...AKA Becca Goins, Cherokee
