Societies & Ceremonies with Charles Moran

Some of the places that we visit besides that our town is I take them up to cross for high and they have a lot of things laid out up there what they can read you know about crosswise hi about the horses about how this Lake was named by this wonderful lady you know so and then the view is pretty and so they get to look around up there and then from there go probably to the earth Lodge villages you know and insure them a little about who we were because when she pull into that village site it’s like stepping back into time and seeing our first homes you know and it’s actually them first homes are probably a lot warmer than the homes that were taught for them to have like the a frame houses stock losses you know those houses were pretty hard to be in because they were cold so they all was out of them build earth lodges next to their a-frame house and it was warmer it was nicer it was comfortable there or I don’t know if that’s a word or not but it was a lot more comfortable for them to be indoor lodges because that’s what they were accustomed to know so when they get there they see they get the touch they get to look around the lake my son works there so he gives a middle tour and I like to sit back and listen to him because that’s the next generation those are the guys that we were supposed to be teaching anyway to get so we could sit back and say yeah I’m done no I could see they can do it and he’s one of those that are it’s a society man you heard a lot of things today among societies and who we are we’re very societal people no he’s he’s a member of the black mouth and I had another son that wasn’t a member of I’d look Society but I had a lot of relatives in here so he would help that’s and he was a little boy when he started doing that and it was hard for him to do that because it took alot of him you know mind/body/spirit it takes a lot to do that and as a boy watching him grow up that way it was it was hard you would give me a lump in the throat every time I seen him perform that ceremony because it was something for him to do for himself he understood they talked to him they told him things about the society and what it was for so every year when they would come and ask for him you know to dance for that because he’s he’s a good grass dancer that they would come and ask him for prayer and to dance for them you know it was it was something to see that happen
