Things from your culture you never do.

Wow, can't really top that one, but I think I have a better idea of my aunt's culture from your Philippines post. I follow some of the basic traits of American Indians (honor elders, listening, remain quiet, etc.), but some of the more important cultural beliefs I haven't been able to do. The Cherokee are mostly Christian, but some Cherokee do believe in Shamanism and I have yet to go on a vision quest (which is suppose to be done at age 13 according to a 1/2 Cherokee friend). I've been trying to see if I can contact my totem/power animal, but I don't have the drumming sounds or a quiet environment to be able to meditate longer than 15 minutes.

Another important ceremony involves blessing the ground ahead of time and the females perform "The Stomp Dance" and wear tear dresses. My family doesn't believe in the Cherokee traditions, so if I ever wanted to discover Cherokee traditions my best source would be to either bug the 1/2 Cherokee guy or look it up on the internet. I think there was also a rumor about a certain marriage ritual where the man gives the woman a ham and the woman gives the man a basket of corn, but that could be fabricated.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think all the Caucasian blood within me comes from the British, Scot-Irish, German, and Italian countries, so I understand about the heavy drinking. The closest I've come to alcohol was Nyquil (LOL). Or sad? I didn't watch the World Cup religiously and I haven't played soccer in forever. I used to be a good goalie, but I suck when it comes to forward.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
