State
Clan Chief of Wisconsin and acting State Clan Chief of
Illinois and Minnesota
I
am an Ordained Pastor and a nationally recognized
Spiritual Leader and Teacher of Cherokee Medicine. My
grandfather was raised as part of the Bird Clan on the
Eastern Cherokee reservation and was taken from his
mother at a young age and given to an adoptive white
family.
I
am also Director of Elawei Ama Spiritual Resources and
a Spiritual Leader of the Earth Lodge Foundation in
Wisconsin. As a Chaplain and spiritual caregiver to
those who are dying for over 12 years in Hospice
ministry, I have walked with over 5,000 men, women and
children as they have journeyed through their last
days on Mother Earth, and worked with thousands of
family members through the grief process. With
Clinical Specialties in working with Alzheimer’s,
Dementia, and Geriatric patients, I am a nationally
Certified Dementia Educator and Caregiver. I have
designed and led my own unique grief support groups
and have developed a special program utilized by the
city of Chicago to assist the families of Victims of
Violent Crime. I currently serve as the Director of
Resident Services at a senior housing campus in
Pewaukee , Wisconsin and as pastor of the Lutheran
Church of the Great Spirit, an urban Native American
congregation in Milwaukee , Wisconsin.
As
a Pastoral Care Specialist, Hospice Caregiver,
Cherokee Spiritual Leader, Story-teller, Healer and
Consultant, I combine my Cherokee heritage, years of
ongoing study with Native American Medicine Elders, my
experience as a parish pastor and as a hospice
chaplain to offer a unique perspective on living,
dying, and existing in this, our Circle of Life.
