Aho my relatives. It has been over a month since I attended a meeting and a few months until we put one up. My thoughts gravitated to this site in an attempt to keep fresh this good feeling that comes from the holy medicine. My Uncle told me when I was younger that people when he was young went to three or four meetings a year so they had to pray every day where they were. Maybe they would go in the sweat lodge or just stand on mother earth and witness the beauty of life. When you have a meeting to go to, prepare yourself to make the most of it. Don't take life for granted as it is short. Encourage the young to keep them away from all the negativity. Our children and grandchildren are our future. Thank you holy medicine and my relatives. May you live in health and with spiritual guidance.

looking into some websites we ran into this site. I haven't seen my brother Lucius for about 5 years in April since we conducted a prayer for my son. He went to Florida from Teluride, Co. I don't know where he is at this point. Lucius, if you find this website please e-mail me your where abouts thru this link.yellowman

My name is Marta and I am seeking a genuine and respected Medicine Man or Woman for healing. I am based in Los Angeles. I have gone to many doctors within the past 2 months and in my heart of hearts I feel that a Medicine Man or Woman can help me. Can anyone kindly please recommend anyone? Thank you.

I am a spaniard dreaming to meet sometime a true/native american person, as I read about them and arrived to the conclusion that they are the pure example to follow on this earth, the most pure race and nearest to the big spirit. What a great race!

Want to thank you for this site. I have been involved with the Native American Indians for quite some time now. I am 54 yrs old. I was diagnosed with Cancer in 2006 and was told I had maybe a year or so left if that..I then put it all in my Creators hands. I sponsored a meeting and told the Road Man why I wanted to have the meeting. It was my first meeting. I felt a very strong connection with the Medicine, my Creator, and all that were there supporting me. It was as if I felt the Cancer being drawn out of me. I have since then sponsored another Meeting, and have attended several other Meetings in support. I now belong to the church, and have a whole new family, one that is priceless. One of the Road Men asked me if he could pray for his Father, as of he has Cancer. I was a bit surprised that he would ask me. I said that I would do anything to help out his Dad. That night he said he saw the Cancer, a yellow light, come out of me, and that it was the Cancer coming out of my body that was in his Father. He told me that the next day and I about fell over. His Dad is doing good .. God Bless him and to all of you ... AHO ............... !

I had a vision last year about wolves and American Indians .. A vision in which both the wolves and American Indians will make a stand. I pray for the people as we get closer and closer to 2012. The spirit of the American Indians are what they did not nor could not take and that is the one we will need from now to 2012 .. So I ask all to pray for the American Indians and the wolves. In spirit we are one.

Help! I don't know where to turn ... My name is Lisa. I am Creek, Cherokee and Apache from Oklahoma. I'm 41 years old and I'm lost. My dad died in New Mexico on Nov. 5th, 2007. He was a Medicine Man, Sculptor and Clinical Psychologist in Santa Fe. Years ago he pleaded with me to come and learn the medicine ways and I couldn't do it. Due to recent events, since my father's death, I feel like I need to reconnect. I know that I have been living the wrong life for who I truly am. Please help me find my way. I need elders that can guide me and help me learn what I need to do to make this life complete. Aho.

Lisa

My family and myself are doing good now days and like to thank all the people that said prayers for me and my family and even the ones that didn't even care about it. I just started going back to meetings, as well as conducting NAC services for relatives again. It's a good feeling and things are more clear to talk and pray about now. Catch you on the next rebound.

Aho Relatives; I was fortunate enough to attend a One Year birthday meeting where her footprints were put down in the teepee. People from many tribes and many states from Canada to Mexico attended. I met new relatives and saw relatives I hadn't seen for 20 years. It was a joyous and very satisfying meeting. I go to meetings now for grandchildren and pray with white hair. I don't often find others there who are my aunts and uncles and I lost my parents some 10 years ago now. Rather than take the teepee down with the others I showed a grandson how to take poles down by himself. I thank the creator I still split my own wood and put up meetings. The Medicine has been good to me over the years, and how I conduct myself in the teepee is how I try and conduct myself in my life. The Medicine helps us asking nothing in return only maybe that we make our lives better for ourselves and especially for our young ones. Only my best wishes for all my relations.

Good afternoon to everyone. It is amazing how long we have come to communicate with each other like this. It has been my pleasure reading all the comments and advice everyone has given. It certainly has brightened my day to read all passages on this web site. Personally, I have come along way since I have entered the circle with my family. Mother Peyote has definitely been and always be the foundation in my life and my families' lives. Hope, Faith, Love and Charity are some very powerful words. In this I have made many relations with many different people and I have come to to believe my father's saying, " this fireplace will give you many relations in your life". Like many children we take for granted what our parents, elders, aunts, and uncles try to teach us to make us understand the circle of life. (Door way in and Door way out) Therefore, I would like to thank my father for his teachings for letting us not just try but actually doing it for ourselves. He is in a better place now watching over us. I truly believe we have been blessed with Mother Peyote and her fireplace she provides us with. I know I have. The path that I have been on and the path that she still provides me with will manifest in itself. Therefore, I thank all of you for your advice and comments, and most of all the family or families who created this site. Bless you this day in all your endeavors. Lastly, pardon me for not introducing myself my name is Janet and currently in the Navy. I would like to personally thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts, one doesn't realize how motivating it is to hear your thoughts. I know I miss my family and most of all the time spent around the fireplace with my family, but I have chosen this road for myself and my family. May the Creator Bless all my fellow soldiers spread across this Mother Earth. Thank you for your time.

Janet, San Diego, CA

My name is Lawrence. I would like people to know of my grandfather Tommy Nez. Along with my grandmother Colleen in Kamloops BC, Canada, we are able to participate in the NAC ceremonies Grampa is asked to preside over. Through God, them, the Medicine and those ceremonies I get to appreciate a reasonably happy life. I am forever grateful to all. Vancouver, Canada.

Ya'at'eeh Shik'ei doo Shidine'e. Adoo altahasiilgo. I am Earl, of the Ts'ahbi'kin area, or Sombreroville. I am Kinlichii'nii born for the Biihbitodnii, my maternal grandfathers are the Kinyaa'aanii and my paternal grandfathers are of the Tl'izilani. I to was raised with Azee' Benahagha and was very fortunate to know George Lyman Kosheway as my Grandfather. I like to believe that my belief is solid and that I have hope to live another day. I have Faith in myself and Love for all. I do have charitable ways for all unfortunate people. The power of prayer can exist if you believe that God helps those who help themselves. Just knowing how to say Hozhoo Doleel, can bring whatever blessing you wish and hope for. Remember to pray for all your relations, people in your communities, the sick, the jailed, our orphans, our children, our elderly, and most of all our military personnel. May God Bless you all!!

Hello to all my relatives and family, Thank you for all your support in the "Morning Blessings" album (2007 NANNY Nominee). My husband, William and I were very surprise to hear words of encouragements from all across the States and into Canada. Through the NAC, we have met so many relatives both near and far. Let's all continue to prayer for one another and that we may all see each other in the holy circle. To my brothers Lance & Jr, congratulations also for your 2007 NANNY nomination. Both of our CD's made it for the nomination of "Best Native American Church Recording". Again, may the creator bless you and your families with many "Morning Blessings" each and every day. Becenti Family, Arizona

I have experienced beautiful blessings from this way of life and may our Creator bless you all. aho

Good Morning to all brothers and sisters this day. I have been a member of the Native American Church for half my life and I am a grandfather now. I have read the guest book now for some time. Nothing like this when I began to pray this way. The spread of these prayers has been inevitable. I will address a few issues I have met on this guestbook. People have expressed love and condolence at the passing of my Aunt. I say aho and thank you. Many of our elders have gone home in the last few years and many new people have come, and will be denied direct contact with them. My elders made it possible for me to know how to conduct myself in a way that will preserve the Native American Church for my children and grandchildren. I am from the east and Europeans have been among us far longer than parts of the west, so it stands I am mixed and on my home Res. there are no longer full bloods. The language is getting some attention now in the schools but it would be so rare to hear it spoken as course in the homes. I ask that we keep in mind our grandchildren that we will not know if intending to put quantum restrictions on them. Remember Moony when the Native American Church was first formed. Those old men prayed with him after his help. Would you tell Quanah Parker his mother could not sit up? It is better to remember Faith Hope Charity and Love. I believe the Medicine directed us in this direction and itself is not color prejudice except maybe green. No other green herbs I know some of you boys use but don't mess with the integrity of the medicine by mixing it. I feel for you ones who are asking for one of us to direct you to the Medicine but what I know is we do not choose the Medicine, it chooses us, so don't pass up a chance to pray and the Medicine will find you. If the law does not force feed us quantum it will be culture, not blood that defines us, so move yourself closer to the Medicine by your choices. That is your culture and it is your culture not your race that approaches the medicine. Finally, Spiritual ways are not the same as Religious ways, you may pay for religion but not spirit. If someone thinks they can take this Medicine and capitalize on it don't believe it and don't support it. Love one another and keep the Medicine pure and we have a chance of leaving our grandchildren something. I send my best wishes to all my brothers and sisters and all my relatives, aho.

I so love your site, and would love to be a member of your church, but even though my husband is a full blood and a member of the crow creek sioux tribe of sd, i am a mixed blood and belong to a cherokee state tribe. I read and learn anyway all u teach, so wado for that.

Osiyo. My name is WolfPony and I was brought up in the American Native Church as a small child. My Aunt, EveningStar, was the one who took me to the meetings. Then my white mother took me away from our people and my Aunt. I was just recently adopted by a Comanche Elder by the name of WhiteEagle. My grandfather has started my teaching a little bit. I'm Cherokee and Lakota Sioux and White Mountain Apache and I have a Blackfoot Mother that re-raised me. She is from the ghost lodge of the blackfoot nation. I was really happy when I came across this site and it made my heart soar with the eagles. I just wanted to say wado, for everything u all have done for our people. wado

It was good to see Freddy here from Watonga, OK. Keep strong, Freddy. Your family's NAC ways have been such a blessing to me in my life, and the Tipi is the best place to bring up little Ashley. We miss you guys up here in Canada.

Kim (and Randall), Alberta, Canada

Has anyone wondered why there are more Native Americans in the military per population then any other ethnic group. But, we don't have any Native American Spiritual Leaders and we cannot wear our Eagle feathers. How do we get Spiritual Leaders in there for our Natives, especially those dying overseas defending our fredoms?

Friends of Eugenia who is mentioned in this Guest Book. I am her good friend from the old days in New Mexico in the sixties. I found on this site that she passed last year. I am so sad to have not been able to see her again. I was with John and others when the American Church of God was established in NM. Friend of Little Joe and others. Please contact me if you know more about Eugenia you can share with me. Best wishes to everyone here. This site brought back many memories.

Hello, Just wanted to say that I have not been to a peyote meeting in a long time. I still listen to the peyote music. Just my family been going through a lot of rough times. My sister passed away about 2-yrs ago and my brother, who was still an an active church member, passed away a couple of months ago. He loved the church so much. He was active in the church in every possible way he could. He told me one time that the peyote will never forget you!!! Once you step into that teepee and see the fireplace and sit to it and start praying it won't forget you.

I was doing research for my Cultural class and found this site. I think this is a wonderful site. You have done a great job. This knowledge interests me, to say the least. Thank you for making the information so clear and inviting.

While my blood roots to my tribal heritage may be weak my spirit is strong. I have been guided by the principles imparted to me by the holy plant for over 40-years now. Sadly, today I am in great need of healing and ask my brothers and sisters for help in locating an NAC in my area. I am in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like to hear from anyone in the church here.

I would like someone to direct me and my family as we are searching for my husband's father. All we know is that his father was a Roadman from Oklahoma, possibly a Cheyenne/Arapaho Tribe who use to come to the Navajo Nation around 1955-57 and maybe even sooner and later of those years. My husband's mom passed away before she could even tell him. We don't know where to start, we've been trying to surf the net hoping we'd come across a website to search for him ... we don't even know his name. Relatives have seen him as tall and dark complexed skin and dark hair back then.

Aho to all my fellow members of the N.A.C. My name is Jeff, a Cree and Assinaboine from Mosquito Rez. Prayer's to all members. Meeting on may 16 or 17, Fathers Day weekend, Saturday night. Hope to see you there, and make some music.

My name is Peggy and I live in Sonoma county, which is in Northern california. I would like to join the NATIVE AMERICAN CHURCH, but despite my heritage, I do not know anyone who belongs. Can anyone help me please? Thank you.

Greetings to all! My thoughts & prayers are with many who are presently praying & singing for all that is good & wonderful in Texas.

I would like to thank every one that has helped me with my babies from day one. One of my babies is going to be two in January and my family is helping me with plan a meeting. I know that she will follow that path because she likes the sound of the spiritual songs. I myself am trying my best to be a good role model for my daughters even though it gets hard at times. I would like to thank my mother, stepfather, sisters, bothers, and brother in-law for being there for us. I am grateful from the bottem of my heart. Merry Christmas and a New Happy Year to everyone. Thank you the soliders that are fighting for us over seas and may god bless you and your families.

Hello, NDN country! Much love to all our people! I actually spent the whole morning reading the comments below! Thank you for sharing and allowing others to understand our faith in the Native American Church! I grew up on the Navajo rez with my loving Father and Mother who introduced my three sisters and I to the Native American Church. :) I'm almost done with college and have a car! So Excited! I'm so thankful to the fire place and medicine for giving me the strength, love and faith to continue my education! I will always be grateful to the medicine for what I have. I would also like to thank the singers and drummers for sharing their beautiful voices through cds!! LOL - if I didn't have those, college away from home would have been very difficult! The only wish I have is to meet the Daniel and Benson families! I love your three cds! I always end up taking a drive just to sing out loud along to you guys! haha! Much love and hugs to all NAC members and other good looking NDNs=all NDNs! :O) Heather

Good blessing to the members of the native american church. I believe this is a good way of life with the right teachings and that we as parents could do a lot for our children. By leading them on the right road and teaching them right and communicating with our children. Communication is the one main thing we need to have in a relationship with our children. my husband has been a member for many years, and i did not really have a religion until i ment him. To this day this is a way of life for my children. This is for "kelly, darrwin, gilbert, tyner and family, and jake from your neices and nephews" hello!!!!!!! And god bless you and may he watch over you for us. And don't forget to stop in visit when youre in town or passing thru.

hello... I found this wonderful site after purchasing a great CD from drum-groups and looking up NAC, I grew up in the Native American Church and I kinda grew away from it, in recent years I made full circle with the church and I believe I have found my roots and my heart feels this is where I belong, I love the native american church and being part of it I wouldn't have any other way or live with out.

Greeting to all Native American Church members, relatives and friend. Hope you all have a blessful time in the teepee, when we pray.

Thank you one and all who prayed for those in need, everyday. My heart goes out to our elders who have taught us this beautiful way of worship. God Bless every each and one of you out there in NAC land, no matter where you put up your teepee, go in and pray for many good things to come about for us. Again, Thanks Mr. Cozad

I love the Native American Church very much. I was quite active in Southern California for over five years. I moved up here to Portland Oregon and do not know very many people. I pray that I can get in contact with the church up here.

To all my Brothers and Sisters in the Southwest of the USA, Greetings. So much of my life was spent in the Southwest, working to understand and trying to better the lifes of my Native American friends. For twenty years I studied the lore and crafts of the native Southwest and I have the greatest respect and admiration for the truly inherent artistic skills and deeply felt spiritual values of the true natives of this land.

I have a special and warm salutation to all of you. I am here to place a garland flower of hope in the human destiny. The natural trance practiced goes deep in the collective mind of mankind, there one can settle the events to come to all of us, this is the foundation of the mind of all to come in new generations. Your best feelings are the support for that. May you bless us all, dear one.

You know when we go to meeting - do not let anyone rush you take your time after all you are number one in the circle too! Keep your belief simple and desire acceptable in the eyes of the creator - he does help with everything - miracles happen everyday. Pray for wisdom - respect our elders many of whom need support through their change of life - share and understand and do for them; after all it is their blood that runs through your veins.

I have been a musician most of my life and now am a music teacher. I have played several concerts that have benefited the Native American Church and have been deeply influenced by the Church songs. I know only a few songs but love to sing them. I have been invited to sit up but never have. I hope to one day sit up and pray. I just wanted you to know that I have recieved an incredible spiritual benefit from singing the songs, and meeting church members. You have a freind and supporter in me. -Steven

I am a living example that this medicine is strong because it saved my life when I was just a few months old. The doctors had given up on me and put my life in the hands of our creator. The creator must've seen that I have a purpose that was yet to be fullfilled. Now I am on my 18th year of life.

I just wanted to let my relitives know before they leave this website and go about their business, that they should take time to look at the 'Prayer Requests' page and at least say a prayer for those asking for prayers and those that are praying. Remember the four teachings of the church, Love, Hope, Faith and Charity. Show your compassion and respect your elders teaching and take a look at the prayers. With Love...

Aho, I would just like to say good evening to all my relations across the land. I am a recent member of the Winnebago Chapter. Just like to say you all have something good to say. I'm just a young guy but I'm trying to learn these ways. It makes me feel good inside when I go to church, and also when I leave. Thought I would say Hello on behalf of our tribe.

a'teeh ahi ke! hello all my native fellow americans. I just wanted to express how I feel. I miss how the fire burns inside the tepee, the smell, and the sound how fire used to crackle, when I took care of the holy fire place. Although my prayers and thoughts are always with me, and with all of my relations, I'm resuming my college degree as a law enforcement officer, in criminal justice here in colorado. And I would also add to that I miss carrying the drum, work the cedar man, aho! to all of the road men on earth.

Hello, friends, relatives, and readers! The website is very interesting and a very good way to stay connected with NAC members across Canada, U.S.A and other countries. However, your expressions and experiences with the peyote way of life is totally awesome! I really love everything about this way of life! Thus our hearts that live and breathe this way of life. I must add that the most important value is sobriety and this will help you to clearly understand the true meaning of LIFE! Although, years have passed, I have gained a beautiful family. My role is to teach my children and hope that my sons, The Stoney Boyz will continue this peyote way of life for generations and generations! May the holy sacrament bless you all!

Hello to all my native relatives. I am of the Salt clan and my paternal clan is Redhouse people. My grandfathers are Towering House and Bitterwater. I am going to a tech school in Colorado. I was astounded to have come across such a site. It's wonderful. As you well know when you stray from the fireplace for so long, your balance, belief, faith, and intentions teeters in your walk of life. When upon resumption, life begins to make sense and the problem becomes understandable and therefore can be resolved. I for one have come across and lived that fact several times in different situations. And it is the fireplace and the mother peyote that has provided me with this divine path of life. I continue to reach out to my "mother" at all times. To share this holy sacrament in its miraculous ways among humble beings is a true blessing. I am honored to be of my people in this way. With this I hope to learn more songs and sing from my heart. I commend all lady singers for you are the rainbow of each family. I hope you put your esteem in the highest place ever for you are what you think of yourself. You are beautiful for he made you with his own hands. Remember that problems created in the mind can become mass and can lead to physical deterioration. May the Great Spirit be with you always. Aho!

I know our Creator looks down upon us, our children and the people we are close to. Above us, below us, amongst us, we are all one in the eyes of our Creator. Thanks to those who prayed for us when we were growing up, and the relatives that are still with us to this day. Giving thanks to the people for their words of encouragement, time spent reading and enjoying the many messages that were sent to this Awesome web page for all to enjoy. A-ho merci-cho!

I want to acknowledge the passing on Jan. 8, 2006 of a dear friend, relative and Native American Church member to the spirit world. Eugenia Franco (Wox Nisischa - Arapaho) passed after a 3-week valiant struggle with pneumonia and many other complications. She was in her early 60's and had been in poor health for a while. Eugenia was one of the early non-indian NAC members in NM going back to the 1960's and the founding of the American Church of God chapter of peyote members. She was a recognized water carrier for many years particularly among the Cheyenne - Arapaho of Oklahoma and knew many of the old timers. She is a beloved mother of two daughters and grandmother of one grandson biologically but the beloved aunt, mom, grandma, sister and friend to so many in the NAC world. She will be missed by so many. We love you Eugenia

Peace, love and peyote.

I searched the website for anything relating to NAC and came across this site. It is very interesting and gives strength. I miss my dad terribly because he was taken from me February 9, 2005. He was all I had and I have his music that was recorded in the NAC meetings. It gives me strength and helps with the grieving. I am looking for anyone who will give me guidance on the words of the songs. I was raised in the NAC way and my Mother raised me in the protestant religion also. I believe in the Creator and the power of the spirit. My prayers to your good health, happiness and continued wisdom to the ways of the Creator as it pertains to our personal life. AHO and Mii-gwitch!!

Dear members, I am humbly asking for your prayers whenever you all participate in prayer service. I am just asking for a little prayer for rain out here on the Navajo reservation. It's been drier than usual. About 25 to 30 years ago we used to receive over two feet of snow at times and now the earthen dams are dried up and our people are hauling water and the gas prices are eating a hole in our pockets. Your prayers would really be appreciated. I will thank you all when I'm outside saying thanks when the earth beneath me is muddy...........aho

I would just like to say that it is good and wonderful that there are so many good and kind relatives. Nice to meet each and every one of you. I know that our way of worship has brought about beautiful and miraculous life experiences. However, at times, we feel lost when we lose a precious loved one. My heart and prayers go out to the Haag family of Oklahoma, and all of the wonderful relatives my family and I have been fortunate enough to make relations with. I also realize that if we just continue to pray, we can make it. We'll be alright again. Thank you for taking the time to read this entry and may good thoughts and beautiful prayers never cease. Ah-ho.

I have been on a jounery trying to find answers after my one & only daughter passed over 3 years ago in a car accident. I asked the Creator to please help me find my way. I always knew I had Native blood, but we get so involved in this world with material things we forget till a big tragedy happens to you then it is too late to enjoy life & what it gave you. Now I have started to seek why am I here & who am I. Please if you could guide. I had a good friend Elder Red Earth who passed last year and I miss him. He offered me guidance, now I am reaching out for guidance from the Creator. My love & blessings go out to all. We need to remember to enjoy & accept what we have. Life is short & our loved ones can never be replaced.

I would like to give my thanks. I had the chance to attend some meetings. The first time I went in was a New Years meeting to greet the comming 2003 in New Mexico. I am very very thankfull for this. It has touched me so much and I never will forget these expierences. I would like to thank everybody who did not mind that I am from another culture. I would like to thank all the people who did welcome me in the meetings I did attend. I would like to thank you for the hospitality I experienced regardless on which occasion and where. I have just approached the medicine a little bit, but it already has worked on me in a way that touches me very much. I only can repeat how thankful I am for this. I hope I will have a chance to visit and attend the NAC again soon. May God bless you all!

NAC is my life, way, and happiness. I truly believe this to be a love sent to us from the Creator. The medicine is so real, and I respect it with my whole heart. I am a humble human being but the good of the Peyote is what helps me to be who I am today. I am proud to have these teachings, and I will always honour this way. I love all my brothers and sisters of the NAC, and I pray all good things for us all...always!

Hello & Ya'ateeh. I would like to share some wonderful and wise words we have heard along our journeys. These words were said so powerfuly by such a young person that they are forever in our hearts and minds. So I would like to continue to share that wisdom and make these words heard all over the Native World. Aho' *~ "*Honour Your ELDERS ~ Respect Your PARENTS ~ Love Your KIDS*" ~*

Just to say hello to my NAC friends and family, that the church is a very special place. The prayers and songs have helped us through a very difficult time in our lives. My husband grew up with this way and introduced it to me about 6 yrs ago. If it wasn't for this way I would not be here today. I hope that each and every one of you, that your prayers come true and bless each day that is brought to us. Just take the time to think of all we really have in our lives and be thankful for everyting... I know that I am thankful that I can walk, see, and be able to spend each day with my children, husband, family and friends. Aho

GREETINGS TO ALL MY RELATIONS! I would like to say what a pleasure it is to find a site like this one on the web. I have never seen so many people from all over sign this guestbook and I must say I was speechless. I was raised around Native American Church and had many meetings which I am thankful for to this day. I miss going to peyote meetings and will attend one on Veteran's Day with my mother and father (my Uncle, Billy, will be conducting the meeting). I am truly blessed for having the peyote way in my life and I have learned much from it and am still learning to this day. I hope to meet some of you as we journey through iina' (life). I pray for all of you as you journey through life with your family and loved ones. May the Great One always protect you.

I've grown up without any traditional religion. My parents left it open to my curiosity. I strongly value the Native American beliefs. I am of Iriquios and Seneca ancestry and have always felt it strong in my heart. I hope to become closer to those roots and continue to grow spiritually.

Hello all, whose spirit is truly in harmony with nature! I have always lived the beliefs of the "NAC" - even when not realizing it. I am part Chickasaw (n/w Tennesee). My kiva consists of only myself, my son, and my "blood brother" since childhood, and I yearn to know others with the same heart as myself, here in southern Indiana.

Well here I am in Calgary all my Brothers and Sisters. I came home this past weekend just to find a meeting and some prayers and I wasn't dissapointed. I would like to thank my cousins. If you know them then you know that they are good people and I am glad to have them as family. I was grateful to be home. When I am away from home I know now there is always a home for me at the fire place. I can't wait to go back.

~Hello everyone~ I am of the Towering House Clan and born for Near the Water Clan. Originally, I am from Bread Springs, NM and I grew up in Kayena, AZ. I am eighteen years old and currently attending Arizona State University. I would like to thank all of you for your heart warming comments about the Native American Church (it brought tears to my eyes.) Being away from home is very difficult, but when I found this site and read each comment; strength came back within me. I am so thankful to have the NAC a part of my life and a part of me. The medicine, the songs, the prayers, has influenced me to be a better person and to be a good role model to those who look up to me. I thank the Creator for listening to my prayers each morning and answering them. Please continue to carry on the sacred fire within your heart.

Hello brothers and sisters. It is so nice to know that you are here. I never felt I belonged anywhere until I went to visit my mother in her homeland - Alaska.

May the great spirit send his blessing down upon us all.....Toots

Hello everyone!!! just thought i would say a few words about my Brothers.......I would like to thank the Creator for allowing them into my life and allowing them to teach me about the Native American Church. Kelly and Darwin have been teaching me this for the past 5 years and it took me 4 years to attend my 1st meeting or ceremony.....it was beautiful. The music and prayers help me in many good ways. I learn something new every time I am with them because, in their eyes, they are still learning and passing it on to me......thank you, and God Bless

I hope some of you will become amateur astronomers and enjoy the wonders of the universe. I forgot, then one day I looked up and realized that we are here but a short span out of eternity. We could spend every day involved with the mundane. Yet, we are still here today, so let's look up at the splendor of creation and remember to take time out to look around and enjoy the natural beauty of creation while we are here. Every moment we are here is a blessing to experience. Blessings to all!

The last time I wrote in here, I was 17. I will be 20 soon. Through the past years I have stayed close to the fireplace and the teachings. I learn from the old people, my parents, and even from those younger then me. I graduated this past year, although it was a long and tough struggle, through prayers, I did it. After graduation I gave thanks in a meeting my dad ran. I sponsored it. We ate well. I am happy for all my accomplishments and I thank the Creator and the medicine for being so kind.

I have never felt more at home than when I am in the forest and I have had prophetic dreams since boyhood. I know that I have Cherokee and Creek ancestors but I also know there are others. There is an empty hole in me and only when I am at one with nature or when I was young hearing of the lives of our ancestors, or the lore that survived in other stories does that hole feel even partially filled.

Ya'at'eeh, hope everyone is everyone a good day today. It's good to see so many relatives make use of today's technology. However, wherever we go or whatever we become, remember where you came from and who helped you to get there. Have a good day and God bless! Ah-Ho Gaashi!

I feel in these times of endless choices, distractions and even turmoil, that it's important to recognize the connection. The native way is knowing that we own nothing, everything is gift from the creator. He is in everything and in all of us. We all bleed the same. If we watch and listen to things around us, we can practice reverence and learn our lessons.

Hello to all the NAC members. I just want to thank the fireplace that has brought me to my family, through college and the survival of everyday life. I have been a member of the nac since i was young. I recently started learning how to sing which has made my life a lot happier and relaxed. I have a lot of faith in the Creator who watches over my family from Albuquerque up to dzith-na-o-dzithe area where my parents live. Happy New Year to all my family and love you all. I attend meetings often and have gotten to know a lot of people. Good luck to my friends the Canadians and Irvin upon their new release of peyote songs with many more to come.

Hello all. I have recently learned that my great-grandfather was Otomi Indian from San Pablito, Hidalgo Mexico. I have always classified myself as Mexican (hispanic) but i am interested in learning more about my family roots. I have always been interested in the native american ways of life and have been approached on several occasions by so called elders and have been told interesting things that no one knows of me but myself. I hope there is someone that can help me start my search in the right direction to learn where i come from and the ways of my grandfathers tribe. I also have heard of the NAC now I'm not sure if Otomi tribe would be allowed to become a member but if so i would be so interested in doing so. Mucho Gracias a todos y que dios los bendiga adios.

I have found a site I will come back to. My father (Dine) was a member of the NAC. I have an uncle well known in the Four Corners area. Even though my father is no longer with us, I listen to a recording made by my aunt which was recorded outside during a meeting, with my father singing. How powerful the songs are. During my days when I am down I listen to this tape recording of my father singing. I also enjoy listening to NAC music. I just want to thank all those who have made CD's for sharing your beautiful songs with us. I am wondering if a woman will come out with a CD of her own.

Aho. I want to say that I was raised around Native American Church ways all my life. My grandfather, George, was a road man and ran meetings and taught me a lot about our family fireplace that came from the Kiowa Tribe. He taught us to always respect yourself first and then you will respect everyone else. I come from a great, proud family heritage in the Native American Church and Indian country. Keep up the faith my bro and sis in the NAC.

Have been visiting this site for the past two years now, and reading up on many of the "inspiring messages" from so many people whom I have met in (MB. SK. AB. BC, and the NWT), and in the Navajoland. Thank you to FT and family, who have introduced me to the NAC way of worship - it's very beautiful.

Good Site. I've seen quite a few people I know. I have been a member for a while now, and I'd like to wish all my children a Very Happy New Year. I would also like to tell my first grandson; "Welcome to the world Dan #3." I thank god & medicine for you and your life, as well as all my other children & relatives. Hello to my friends, Lux, Chico, Kelly & Darwin, and all you other boys as well, oh ya can't forget Bobby and Archie, Leslie, Kiowa Mike, Billy Boy, and all my other homies from Rocky Boy. You have all helped me out in one way or another. See you all in a meeting somewhere in a good way.

Hi. I enjoyed the many great comments made by NAC members related to the use of this "Holy Medicine," peyote. We have an opportunity to educate people who know very little of the medicine and let them know the good and healing it brings to our people. I encourage each and every one of you to continue following this path. No harm can come to you if you follow your prayers. But remember, we, as church members, are judged on our actions, so let's lead a good example. The steps we take are the steps of our children, we lead them by example. The best of the New Year to you all and remember us in your prayers, because we all have struggles. "Meewasin Oma"

For me it is a blessing reading about your faith. Unfortunately in my country, native people never received attention. And many tribes are beeing "accultured" (aculturadas) by so called "civilization". A.- Brasil

Aho, I wanted to say that the Great Spirit bless and watch over our Native American Church and our membership. I really love the ways the Great Spirit gave to us for healing and good health and happiness. Hello to all of my NAC family that I know and pray with, you know who you are. I am putting out a solo album this coming spring. Everything is ready and I hope my NAC relatives enjoy themselves listening to the music. May the Great Spirit be with all where ever you are at all times. During hard times, may you fly with the eagle to bring you out of your troubled times. May the softness of the eagle plume comfort your heart and mind so that you can see clearly. Tunkasina be with you and watch over you.

These are hard times for many aboriginal people and those that are in harms way we the Native American Church must continue to pray and bring hope to all friends, relations, and always remember our warriors that fought and are fighting for our beliefs and way of life, as well as the elders that continue to share and teach our way of life.

Hello from the newlyweds, and many prayers to Buzz for conducting our NAC wedding ceremony August 28, 2004. It is so wonderful to see that there are so many brothers and sisters in the NAC, and from so many places. We are glad to see there is a place on the Internet for us all to be together. The holy medicine "Peyote", is so powerful to unite us this way. I (songbirdwoman) did not grow up with these teachings, but feel ever grateful to know this way. I have tried many religions, but finally found I can learn my native traditions and still have Jesus in my heart. This is where my heart and soul feels very alive. We pray for all the Helpers of the NAC to be blessed with good things, and travel safely to the meetings they conduct, so they can return home safely to their loved ones. We will be having our Honeymoon in Flagstaff Arizona, hopefully we will find a NAC ceremony while we are there (not sure of the date yet). We send our love and our prayers to every single one of you. All my relations...

Ya'at'eeh, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my NAC relations. Koletta from Cananda, uncle Bob from the Yakima Nation, Sisters Twila and Chante from the band of Coville Indians, brother Chatoe from the Otoe Missouri Tribe, and to all my relations on the Great Navajo Nation. I hope everything you pray and sing for comes into reality with the coming New Year. May god bless all your veterans and soldiers during this holiday season. I also hope that all families with soldiers in Iraq get the many blessings that they deserve for sacrafices they make and may God touch the hearts of those who have lost the ones they love and bless them for the greatest sacrafices they have made. God Bless you all.

Well, first I'd like to say that I've been introduced to the Red Road since I've moved to the Southwest and I've never found a stronger connection to mother earth and all of creation. And I'm asking The Great Spirit to guide me futher down this road despite the hard lessons that it provides. I was wondering of how to find out or to get information about the N.A.C. to be able to join or attend prayer meetings? May the Great Spirit watch over all of us in this changeing times! AHO!

A-Ho, I have been away from the red road for quite some time and I am trying to get back on track. I haven't been to a meeting in quite some time and have lost contact with my fellow brothers and sisters that brought me into the wonderful healing world of the NAC. Judy, I will never forget you, someday I know we will meet again (*!! I have two young children and one on the way and would love for them to experience the wonderful things that great-grandfather brought to me through the NAC. I feel incomplete at this point in my life and I am struggling for direction and guidance especially for my children. If there is anyone in the Chicago area I would love to hear from you!! I love your website and it is wonderful to feel all of the love from all of you!! Mitake Oyasin! (*

I know my NAC songs, my whole family is with the NAC. I started going to meetings when I was ten year's old. Thanks to my aunt. She told me that it will help you get through everything, so I started going to NAC Meetings and my aunt was right. It really helped me. Now I'm very proud of myself, that I made the right choice. I want to say thank you to my aunt, my grandma, my grandpa and my whole family for supporting me in learning my culture. WOW! I was surprised that there are a lot of people attending the NAC. I hope you will learn more. God Bless You all. I hope your prayers will be answered. Cherish

I have looked into the culture and religion of my ancestors. Though I was not raised with the values of the NAC, I am compelled to believe in them after much research. Is there some way for me to attain more knowledge of the NAC and its practices? If so, I am interested in finding out more about this noble society. Thank you for this page to allow me to express my feelings. It must be an awesome force that can sway the feelings of a man after only a months-worth of understanding. Thank you once again.

Well I just came over this site and I thought it was a nice way for the native people to talk about the NAC. I was really surprised how many natives all over the world were in the NAC. I'm glad a lot of natives still remember about our native ways. It's a good thing. Just hope the natives carry it on to the future. I grew up in the NAC ways and I am glad to be a native american. I just hope this will always help me with all my trouble and take all the bad spirits away and let me go back into the NAC meetings. I miss going to them with my family and coming out in the morning feeling good about yourself. So, to all the natives out there, keep everything up and don't let our culture die.

ALL of the things talk about, I am feeling and it makes sense to me. We are so much more than just physical beings. I have tried to treat others as I would like to be treated, with love and respect, and as I am getting older, I am not so prone to anger. I try to focus on love and harmony, even in a world that seems to offer only chaos. It is good to find others who want harmony and love to exist still. THANK YOU...

YA A TEH to everybody. i would just like to say that i too used to think that peyote wasn't for me because i did drugs - yep, what a shame. My Family would have meetings but i would never attend. i would just say i don't feel like it, i will just help my aunts cook, even though i never did. i was so confused and i told my uncle and he said he could help but you have to participate, so i agreed. he and my mom set up the meeting for me and he did the fire. later through the night i started throwing up which i was told was cleaning me. then when the staff came to me i stopped and cried and said that i was sorry to my mom and dad and that i take back everything i did and will not do it anymore. af
