Where I live, I used to see meteors all the time
Once, I saw one that seemed to be coming right down the valley; it was low and Orange, like fireworks.
Things like this inspired me to concieve of the Law of the Great Spirit.
I have long preferred that term to 'God'.
I don't get that opportunity to view them as much, these days.
As an addition to my 'Chief Henry' tale, during my 7th and 8th years, I spent 3 months each at a summer camp in the area now known as 'Land Between the Lakes' on the Tennessee River. It was an 'Indian' theme camp. Upon arrival, our clothes were taken , and we wore breechcloths that we made ourselves. We lived in Tepees,unhistorically, of course. We took long canoe trips on the Cumberland River. I remember camping and waking up , sleeping on cowpies!
I don't know who these people were that ran the camp. Some of my Mother's nonsense, as they were quite eccentric and she was unable to profit from them.
Apparently, I did,and it must be an effect of what I believe today.
I will never forget the council fires; 'sorcery' was a part of them, and so was the power of the Dead.
don Juan did not speak of the Great Spirit. Perhaps that is more of a northern or Oglala tradition.
