Yeah, alot of new age writers are claiming to know native american shamanistic rituals and stuff, but barely any of them are accurate. I know this due to my uncle being part cherokee, I am however not native american. (But I was born here, so therefore I am native to America. HEHE!!!)

question, is this book meant to be read stand alone or in a series? From amazon.com description, it sounded like the finale in a series. Even if it is, can it be read alone? I want to read it, just don't want to drop the cash for 5 books :roll:

Hirohito--
It is definitely part of a series. However, I read it before I knew that, and I think it can stand alone. I read the other books in the series too, and they are good as well. It is up to you. After reading this book, you'll PROBABLY want to read the others... so in that case I'd recommend starting at the very beginning of the series... but it's up to you! As I said, it stands alone pretty well.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! But I want to be an indian mommy!!! Yeah, I would laugh at them for only then will they feel stupid. For a while I thought I was like the shamans because of my abilities, but I never claimed to be a shaman. It just wasn't my right to claim that title, especially because shamans go through hard training their whole lives to achieve that title. I was only a simple guy with odd abilities.
