And certainly…back in the day when different relatives were our different teachers…like our aunties and our uncles…even today, my uncles…my cousins who are my kid’s uncles…they know if I need some sort of behavior modification…like they are doing things that they are not supposed to be doing…they know I will call me cousin Jay…”Jay, can you talk with Dawson now? He needs some man talk now.” And so, that kind of kinship ties into our culture and our traditions…where our relatives were a part of our upbringing. And I still think that is important today…that key relatives be a part of my son’s lives as well as my grandchildren’s lives now. I want them to learn the traditions and continue those on so that their kids also will know those traditions. There’s lots of teachings out there…a lot of things to now. We are never going to know everything. Grandpa Fools Crow used to say, “Maybe when I go to the other side, to the spirit world, maybe then I will gain more knowledge after I go over there.” And he probably knew the most about spiritual ceremonies than many of us. Even him in his humility…and knowing that you can’t know everything…but you should continue to strive to know those things. Don’t ever give up.
