COPAD Meeting
Sunday June 19, 2005
We went to the COPAD meeting in the evening. It was very interesting as Kevin
was finally able to do his Native American ceremony. He spoke about some of
the history and problems and told us a bit about his adopted nation. Le' who
is Navaho or part Navaho, I’m not sure about that, also shared about
her nation. Kevin passed a hand rolled cigarette around the circle telling
us that not all Native American nations have pipe carriers. Those able to,
took a puff for each of the directions. I wasn’t able to smoke quite
that much but still did some prayers. Then Mel did her guided visualization.
It went quite well. Part of mine involved having wings and flying. It was
wonderful. And this time Mel was able to journey with us while she let it,
which was a big step for her. We visited afterward for a bit then went home
as I was pretty tired.
