Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original Truths are the foundation on which Crosslin Smith has lived his life. These truths are what Crosslin Smith wants to share-as he says, "it is time for all to know." These truths are the guidepost in helping those who want to experience health, inner peace, and peace among all people. The knowledge being shared is a message for all humankind regardless of race, creed, color, or religion. This message and the messenger originate from the Keetoowah Society, the spiritual society within the Cherokee tribe. Today, Crosslin Smith-a traditional Keetoowah elder, practitioner, and counselor-acknowledges the richness of his Cherokee heritage, yet he clearly stresses the lessons and teachings contained within the Original Truths are not and were never intended to be the sole possession of the Keetoowahs or Cherokees. They are, and always have been, universal truths. We can no longer afford to support separation among peoples, separation within the self, or separation from our past and our future. Crosslin invites us all to hear these stories and absorb the lessons to awaken the goodness held within each one of us. Thereby we honor and nurture our oneness with all humanity. This message from the past has found its moment in the present.

Download or read book People of Kituwah written by John D. Loftin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to Cherokee tradition, the place of creation is Kituwah, located at the center of the world and home of the most sacred and oldest of all beloved or mother towns. Just by entering Kituwah, or indeed any village site, Cherokees reexperience the creation of the world, when the water beetle first surfaced with a piece of mud that later became the island on which they lived. People of Kituwah is a comprehensive account of the spiritual worldview and lifeways of the Eastern Cherokee people, from the creation of the world to today. Building on vast primary and secondary materials, native and non-native, this book provides an in-depth look not only at what the Cherokees perceive and understand--their notions of space and time, marriage and love, death and the afterlife, healing and traditional medicine, and rites and ceremonies--but also at how their religious life evolved both before and after the calamitous coming of colonialism and Christianity. Through the collaborative efforts of John D. Loftin and Benjamin E. Frey, this book offers an in-depth understanding of Cherokee culture and society"--
Download or read book Being Indian and Walking Proud written by Donald L. Fixico and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the identity of American Indians from an Indigenous perspective and how outside influences throughout history, from the arrival of Columbus in 1492 to the twenty-first century, have affected Native people. Non-Native writers, boarding school teachers, movie directors, bureaucrats, churches, and television have all heavily impacted how Indians are viewed in the United States. Drawing on the life experiences of many American Indian men and women, this volume reveals how American Indian identity comprises multiple identities, including the noble savage, wild savage, Hollywood Indian, church-going Indian, rez Indian, urban Indian, Native woman, Indian activist, casino Indian, and tribal leader. Indigenous people, in their own voices, share their experiences of discrimination, being treated as outsiders in their own country, and the intersections of gender, culture, and politics in Indian-white relations. Yet the book also highlights the resilience of being Indian and the pride felt from being a member of a tribe(s), knowing your relatives, and feeling connected to the earth. Being Indian and Walking Proud is a compelling resource for any reader interested in Indigenous history, including students and scholars in Native American and Indigenous studies, anthropology, and American history.
Download or read book Original Teachings written by Crosslin Fields Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book relate to the unwritten bylaws of the traditional Cherokee people known as the Keetoowah Society. They were previously unwritten because Keetoowah people kept the bylaws in their heads and continually lived them. Each day, in all that they did, they kept the bylaws alive. The Creator gave these Original Teachings to all people. Racism has no place in them. What I am relating in this book is intended for all humanity. The reason for writing this book is that I am troubled by the corruption and erosion of respect for humankind and the Earth in the various organizations and institutions of this world. One could easily point out these maladies in many of the political systems throughout the globe, as well as the world's major religious organizations. Such maladies even exist within our Native American communities, at ceremonial grounds or in Indian churches. In this book, I offer the Original Teachings of Keetoowah to move us all to end conflict with one another, leaving no one out. In ancient times, God told all people that even if there are just three who still follow his Original Instructions, they will be able to help those who have lost sight of them.Today, it's hard to find three good people in any organization in this world. In the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah someone asked whether God would spare their city if they could find thirty good people. God answered, saying: Find ten good people and you'll be spared.To me, this story shows that the Creator walked among people, and He still does. He knew that those who retained and lived his Original Teachings were few. Looking at our original spiritual beliefs and practices, I can see that Keetoowah people are among these few; we never became indifferent to those teachings.This book builds upon my first book, Stand as One, to expand on the concepts there and to offer new insights from Keetoowah Cherokee teachings. I hope it can show how enacting these teachings might restore goodness and hope in the world.
Download or read book Cherokee Medicine Man written by Robert J. Conley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern medicine man portrayed through the words of the people he has helped Robert J. Conley did not set out to chronicle the life of Cherokee medicine man John Little Bear. Instead, the medicine man came to him. Little Bear asked Conley to write down his story, to reveal to the world “what Indian medicine is really about.” For Little Bear, as for the Cherokee ancestors who brought their traditions over the Trail of Tears to Indian Territory, the medicine is about helping people. Visitors from neighboring states and Mexico come to him, each one seeking help for a different kind of problem. Each seeker’s story is presented here exactly as it was told to Conley. Little Bear has cured problems involving health, relationships, and money by uncovering the source of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms. Whereas mainstream medicine and counseling have failed his patients, Little Bear’s healing practices have proven beneficial time and again.

Book excerpt: What does it mean to become rooted in the land? How can we become better relatives to our greatest teacher, the Earth? Becoming Rooted invites us to live out a deeply spiritual relationship with the whole community of creation and with Creator. Through meditations and ideas for reflection and action, Randy Woodley, an activist, author, scholar, and Cherokee descendant, recognized by the Keetoowah Band, guides us on a one-hundred-day journey to reconnect with the Earth. Woodley invites us to come away from the American dream--otherwise known as an Indigenous nightmare--and get in touch with the water, land, plants, and creatures around us, with the people who lived on that land for thousands of years prior to Europeans' arrival, and with ourselves. In walking toward the harmony way, we honor balance, wholeness, and connection. Creation is always teaching us. Our task is to look, and to listen, and to live well. She is teaching us now.

Book excerpt: The stories of the Cherokee people presented here capture in written form tales of history, myth, and legend for readers, speakers, and scholars of the Cherokee language. Assembled by noted authorities on Cherokee, this volume marks an unparalleled contribution to the linguistic analysis, understanding, and preservation of Cherokee language and culture. Cherokee Narratives spans the spectrum of genres, including humor, religion, origin myths, trickster tales, historical accounts, and stories about the Eastern Cherokee language. These stories capture the voices of tribal elders and form a living record of the Cherokee Nation and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' oral tradition. Each narrative appears in four different formats: the first is interlinear, with each line shown in the Cherokee syllabary, a corresponding roman orthography, and a free English translation; the second format consists of a morpheme-by-morpheme analysis of each word; and the third and fourth formats present the entire narrative in the Cherokee syllabary and in a free English translation. The narratives and their linguistic analysis are a rich source of information for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the Cherokee syllabary, as well as for students of Cherokee history and culture. By enabling readers at all skill levels to use and reconstruct the Cherokee language, this collection of tales will sustain the life and promote the survival of Cherokee for generations to come.
Download or read book A Lifetime of Healing written by Crosslin Fields Smith and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in this book relate some of the experiences I have had during my lifetime as a traditional healer. Some might call them miraculous. It's true that I have helped people in critical condition to get well, whether that be mentally, physically, or spiritually. And I was born with certain gifts that have put me on this path of healing and that I use in my work. But I present these stories to show you what can be accomplished when we adhere to the ancient Keetoowah mindset and teachings-to stand as one with all people and obtain a perfect state of mind in all that we do. We maintain and keep our heritage by practicing a perfect state of mind. Through this practice, we are kind and considerate to all Creation. That's the model that you want to follow. This model personality represents the Original Laws. You don't have to be at a ceremonial ground or at church to do that. We take this practice with us wherever we go. Things happen for your benefit when you're that way.In this way, we might say that the stories in this book are not about miracles. They are examples of the Creator's ability to help us, which has always been there. It is through this unbroken connection that we must strive to uphold the Original Laws, which I have written about in my previous books, Stand as One: Spiritual Teachings of Keetoowah and Original Teachings: Designed to Stand as One. This book of healing stories is meant to accompany the other two books and to help explain the spiritual knowledge contained in them.
