About Me
- John Kane
- Cattaraugus, Seneca Nation Territory
- My writings on this blog are focused on helping Native people to find their identities and creating an ongoing dialogue that can help take the mystery out of our belief systems. Native spirituality is based on nature and as such is natural, not supernatural. No one has to take a leap of faith to embrace our beliefs and culture. I want to end the dumbing down of our history and encourage unity, pride and responsibility in Native people.
