                   features  special guest Tim Loonsfoot Sr. , an Ojibway Pipe Carrier. Mr 
                   Loonsfoot will talk about how the ancient beliefs and
                   healing practices of Native American people are still extremely 
                   important to traditional native people.The use of tobacco, sage,
                   cedar oil and other traditional herbs have been part of the spiritual 
                   heritage of native peoples for thousands of years. The vibrations
                   of the sacred drum and the sounds of sacred chants and songs are often 
                   as important to native people as modern drugs and other protocols.
                   The sweat lodge has proven efficacy at removing toxins from the body 
                   but just as important to a traditional native person can
                   be the spiritual effects upon the psyche. These and other issues such 
                   as special needs at the end of life will be discussed in this 
                   interactive workshop.
