This is a once in a lifetime offer to
be a part of history.

I am documenting the important bits of my lifetime as a Shawnee/Mide’ encapsulated in a five volume book set. Within the covers I am recording a lifetime of tribal knowledge, not from outside sources, but from my inner circle of family and advisors. I will leave the works of others to their own device.

This is your opportunity to be one of a select first few, to read of our ancient traditions, rituals, ceremonies and myths, all describe in telling detail. “Everything but the secret handshake!” meaning, everything will be shared except those Inner Circle Secrets, wisdoms and rituals that are only for the Children of the First People! No words can describe the emotion, spiritual impact and changes that happen within, of those who actually walk the First parents Path. All else will be yours to read, reread and ponder.

How can you become a part of this history?
 We are looking for some friends of the Shawnee/Mide’ and other interested folks, who want to be the first to possess the five book series, “Mystic Medicine Lodge.” Most of the mysteries shared in this Five Volume Set of Shawnee/Mide’ Lore has never before been published.

Why am I offering this to you?
I am 69 years old. Although I am in reasonable health, one never knows. Therefore I am compelled to write these books of knowledge for my People, and others, to have a foundation to aid them in their Traditional Path to the Wisdom of the Ancient Ones.

I believe in not compromising my integrity.
To dispel any misunderstanding by anyone who might get the wrong impression, this book is not a part of a dialogue, or offered up as fodder for modern historians and their “it must have been written or it isn’t a fact” philosophy; the political correct crowd to parse and insert their views of the “facts” they seem to embrace; or those who have the misguided concept that my ancestors were “noble red men” or “heathen savages.” We were, and are not either.

What I am about to share are the collected remembrances of my People as told me by my Elders and those shared by my tribal friends of their Elders recollections.  This is our history and philosophies handed down. I care not if you agree. I only offer this tome as a document of our past as seen thru the eyes of our Elders.

I do hope you will be enlightened and find some connection with your past, no matter your ancestry. For we all spring forth from First Parents, who shared many similar base beliefs.
