We know that we are here as the children, as are our brothers and sisters in the animal world. Rainbows understand that this is the Time of Transition. We know that animals assist us and so does the wisdom of the ancient ones. Rainbow Tribe people do not do drugs to induce visions or use them during ceremony. We know that visions must come from within, not through drugs or alcohol.
Rainbows hold the practice of rendezvous, drumming, sweat lodges, and vision quests in honor.
The name of Rainbow Tribe apparently arrived from a multi-national attending group of people attending a sweat lodge. The host of the sweat lodge was initially reluctant to perform this ceremony for non-natives but agreed. One of the attending had a crystal as a wotai stone and in this crystal the native giving the sweat saw the rainbow. The next time he agreed to give a sweat to a growing group of non-natives as he traveled to the area, he saw a rainbow. This story and the combination of the fact that those of the Rainbow tribe are very multi-racial come together for the name of Rainbow Tribe.
