The younger Native Americans in college may not be getting the right information. Maybe we need to have an information clearinghouse of some type. Non-Indians are not the only people misrepresenting the traditional ways. Some American Indians make claims to knowledge or power they do not have. They do not use what is passed down, but what they and others sometimes create.
Some Indian individuals fool people to think they have power.
They are really not medicine men, they just make things up So much has been lost, but it is coming back. We have to be careful about how it is brought back. Many of the traditional ways were lost with the older generations. It is more difficult to raise them in the traditional ways. A lot of people want to go back to the traditions, but there really isn t anybody old enough to bring it back.
