Is the book. therefore, not a valuable piece of work?? Some Native Elders feel the same about new age ceremony co-opting rituals such as the sweat lodge. Being of native and white blood I am in the middle. While I strive to maintain my native heritage, I believe that as more people attend ceremony the more that ceremony is honored and kept alive. Even?though the ceremony is?not in it's pristine state it is alive and raising consciousness to the native wisdom. Those who see that there must be more will seek to find the true ceremony. If the co-opted ceremonies were not growing in popularity would there be the opportunity to even ask the question? I am asking questions, not taking a stand. As a water pourer I am asked to release my ego and my judgement and to welcome all hearts?to ceremony. I want to believe that the ceremony delivers the medicine regardless of who carries it. Perhaps I am naive for I have seen the opposite happen. I have also seen much good come from a non-native ceremony. My basic belief that the Creator does not see color forces me to keep asking this question.

At the time, I found it completely unbelievable, though I know a number of people who think it was fabulous and completely true. lewis On Jun 27, 1:40?pm, Marie <mdlorra...@comcast.net> wrote: > Marlo Morgan's book, 'Mutant Message Down Under,' appears to be a > fictitious account of her time with the 'Real People' aborigines. > While the publishers calls it fiction, she has made it appear to be > reality. ?The Aborigines are rightly upset with the complete > fabrications in the book and feel she has disrespected and insulted > them and taken away their right to tell their story in their own way. > I think they are justified in their feelings and find it upsetting > myself. > > On Jun 20, 2:03?am, Lewis MehlMadrona <mehlmadr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > From: Lewis Mehl-Madrona <mehlmadr...@gmail.com> > > Date: Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 8:02 PM > > Subject: View this page "Australian aboriginal response to Mutant Message > > Downunder" > > To: aboriginal mind and mental health <aboriginalm...@googlegroups.com> > > > More info to check out. > > > Click > > onhttp://groups.google.com/group/aboriginalmind/web/australian-aborigin... > > - or copy & paste it into your browser's address bar if that doesn't > > work. > > > -- > > IMPORTANT WARNING: This e-mail and any files transmitted with it contain > > CONFIDENTIAL information, including PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL HEALTH > > INFORMATION which is intended for the use of the person to whom it is > > addressed.
