73.0. "Bury my heart. . ." by MEMORY::WALKER () Mon Jul 25 1988 18:27

    On August 22, I leave the East for a Nutritionist job with the 
    Standing Rock Cheyenne Tribe in North Dakota!  I've been a 
    Registered Dietitian since 1982, and all that time I've been
    working as a secretary.
    
    A major change, and about time!

73.5The old ways attract meAPOLLO::WALKERWed Jul 27 1988 15:1428
    RE .4
    
    Carol:
    
    I'm interested in the old, or "primal" religions.  The books of
    Lynn Andrews have affected me alot - from Medicine Woman to Crystal
    Woman.  I think we see only a very small portion (about as much
    as we see of the light spectrum) of the "worlds of God."  I also
    think that the worlds of sleeping and dream and vision are (or may
    be) real worlds.
    
    So far, Indian people whom I've talked to in the area have been
    the most welcoming.  I talked to one woman who I didn't know was
    Indian, but her statements showed an Indian identity, so I asked
    her.  She is all Indian, and she said she could introduce me to
    some people who remember the old ways.  But she said they are
    hesitant to talk, because some Christian people still refer to the
    old religion as "devil worship."
    
    I'm Baha'i now - and you can't be of a much newer religion than
    that - but I have great respect (and perhaps even a yearning for)
    the old ways.
    
    I appreciate all your good wishes.  Actually I thought I was entering
    this note in "milestones" but as usual I used Write, not reply.
