·Many tribal elders who are the only remaining
source of knowledge on historic cultural practices are now approaching advanced age and will
not be available in future years to share their valuable knowledge.
· The recovered historic culture has a very
profound healing effect on the modern Native American population. One example is a woman tribal member with
cancer who attended a clinic who was inspired and whose will to live was
returned through the experience.
