a real native, or imposter?

what tribe?

what was the purpose?

and what did he say that you were supposed to repeat back?"

I assume a native but I didnt talk to him.

I dont know.

Who knows. I wasnt paying attention.  

Some gibberish.

Why does it matter though? It was still a religious ceremony we were forced to participate in, even if your questions remain unanswered.

Anonymous:
i agree with you.
it absolutely seems pointless, particularly if it wasn't authentic and if you didn't even know what he was saying or the significance of it.
many programs rip off native spirituality. that's not cool.

he was native... i don't recall what tribe he was from though. he shared many stories from his life with the students, with the hopes that they would learn from some of his mistakes in life...

My goodness your assumptions never end do they? Were you there standing with me the entire time?
No you were not thus how can you know if we are talking about the same experience?

You cant.

He gave no inspirational talk. He was there simply to preform some ceremony.

aftenthurston:
Everytime I ever saw him, he did give inspirational talks... and most students looked forward to him coming. He was very enjoyed, by most of the population.
