Most of what we know about Native Americans comes from a scant lesson or two in school and from movies or TV, or if we’re well-read, from a book or two or three.

Probably at least half of all Americans have never met an indigenous American because so many were pushed far away from their original homes. Most Americans don’t realize there are hundreds of tribes across the country. They don’t know how indigenous Americans live now, in the 21st century. They don’t know which traditions, if any, are still practiced. They don’t know about some of the issues which concern them most. And they may have no idea how they can be an ally or what, if anything, can be done to begin to atone for all the losses, all the broken treaties, all the broken trust.

Cynthia Greb did not grow up in a traditional Native community, but she feels a passion to share what she has learned while living on reservations, visiting many indigenous communities—in both North America and South, and listening to indigenous elders, young people, and others.

For instance, Cynthia will share what she learned:

• Living with an elder on the Flathead Reservation in northwestern Montana.
• Visiting a friend’s Cheyenne reservation.
• From a young Yurok woman + several traditional Cherokee young people.
• From a Ute elder.
• In the pueblos of New Mexico.
• Visiting Pine Ridge Reservation.
• In the rainforests of Ecuador.

Cynthia will share photos from across America and scores of first-person stories. All participants will leave with a handout that tells how they can help and where they can learn more.

BIO

Cynthia Greb is an interfaith minister and writer who grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. When she moved to California in 2004 to pursue graduate studies, her life began to veer in a new direction. She began working as a hospice chaplain, writing in earnest, and traveling a great deal. She has lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Crestone, Colorado; and in the Mt. Shasta area of northern California; with shorter stays in Ashland, Oregon and Montana. Each of these places has impacted her life greatly.

She also followed her guidance and began traveling extensively throughout the continental United States while also visiting Alaska, Maui, Brazil, Ecuador, England and Wales. During most of her travels, the focus has been on Indigenous history and traditions.

Her interest in Native American culture and spirituality began to blossom around the year 2000. Although learning about pre-Columbian history and the history of non-dominant cultures will always be an interest, her primary passion right now is to offer prayer rituals at sites of sorrow and tragedy so that the spirits of the dead can ascend to the Light.

In recent years, Cynthia has offered presentations for Susan Duval Seminars on “The Mystery of Ancient Earth Mounds” and “Sacred Roadtripping.” You can find out more about her books and presentations by visiting www.soulofcynthia.com and www.cynthiagreb.com. You can also find her on Facebook.
