The Lakota believe that when we are born, we are assigned a wanagai, like a spirit from a star. When we compete our life on Earth, we travel back to the star of our inception. This epic voyage is known as making the journey, when we return home to the Star Nation. Since physics tells us that all the elements in our bodies come from the death of stars, maybe the Lakota belief isn’t that far off. I wonder which star I belong to, or is a star long since gone? Seems like an idea in there somewhere for a sci-fi or fantasy novel. What do you think?
And while we’re talking about Native American culture, maybe the Galiwee Visions series is of interest.
