Hello Ken
Well I am a Christian. But Many religions have many different forms on teaching.Dont forget The creator in Christian belief is the Father and he gave his son. As far as 2 paths I wear a eagle feather also.I have a better life because I learn as much as i can of Indian ways.Christians also take different paths I guess as far as who is right. Sometimes they seem to be more worried about that ,than what it is they teach.One thing I find is almost all religions have One creator at the end. Most people just dont worry about Mother earth or even think of what is truely bieing lost day by day.I now live in a big town and feel like I am In a cage.Anyway I think you should make a stand and teach your ways. I dont relize ; but cant even wonder what kind of Job that is like, I do know your heart is true and so is your beleifs. Stand bye them teach as much as you can never should anyones religion,culture,race or people change . I know myself the world is hurting and Mother earth is not happy.I dont have answers for you ,other than dont ever stop believing and take the one path that is in your heart. Thank You Mike iska
