Our Heroes: Becky Three Stars and Dallas Chief Eagle
I wanted to add a postscript. After a few days and some conversations with Becky, I have more understanding of the work that she and Dallas are doing. Coyote Institute has invited Becky and Dallas to come with us on our annual cultural exchange pilgrimage to Melbourne, Australia. For the past three years, we have been meeting with members from the Gunnai/Kernai tribe in South Eastern Australia, to help them develop ways of bringing culture into healing. We have an annual retreat now at Boule Pool, an island off the Gippsland coast. The island has a burial ground and a meeting place. We will be holding a first annual conference in the fall of 2012, that will reflect on the ways people understand what creates healing and health for the Gunnai/Kernai people. In any case, we decided that Becky and Dallas would be wonderful additions to our group, and would enjoy meeting the women in the area who do medicine work, including Doris and Auntie Jenny.
To help you get to know them, here is some video of Dallas. Besides being a mentor and leader for men’s groups, Dallas Chief Eagle is an award winning hoop dancer, who has performed at the Kennedy Center. Here he is in a dance: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egq0IYvC4nw). Dallas is also a well-known author and storyteller.
More later!
