Thanks Byrd!!
I was aware the Dreamtime particulars weren't for everyone aside from having mandatory protocols
that must be respected as well. Just wondered if asked, do or did they have knowledge of the sunken land, or peoples to their north?
Nothing too too intrusive to inquire about.
Had considered if a name of the land or people were known even by a not-quite-correct name it could be backtracked linguistically. Yes I'm that optimistic!!
Cultural misapropriation is a major problem. As is the entire "pay to pray" BS going on outside the reserves/rez's. The harm in participating in another cultures practices can indeed run the gamut.
Was aquainted with someone attempting a sweat lodge in Lakota way. Number one the lodges the Lakota have are known a "burners". Not for the faint of heart.
Number two is Lodges are built in a specific way. This guy didn't want to take the time to cut the willow or anything more than minimally required effort. He built the frame out of PVC. Swear to God!! It btw melted so shortest Lodge ever! Not to be deterred second try consisted of copper piping. We died laughing, altho it did take a bit of time for the shock to wear off. Everyones first response was No frigging way!!!?? Also again, it was the shortest lodge ever.
This really happened an thought you'd get a kick out of it.
