Traditional Counseling, Healing Ceremony

“Each Healer has a purpose and that purpose is to help the people. They tend not to call themselves Healers but might refer to themselves as helpers in Traditional Healing or helpers to the spirits. The presentation of tobacco is an appropriate protocol for an appointment with a healer.” http://www.sagchip.org/news.aspx?newsid=271

So he does self-healing and healing of others from children being stolen by Western boarding schools - the church schools.

Raphael recalls one encounter with a former classmate who’d often been called on by the nuns to dole out punishment. The man saw Raphael and immediately stood to fight.
“He said, ‘ever since I left boarding school, I’ve been afraid you guys were going to come back and get me at some point.’ He said, ‘I was so afraid I started drinking. I became an alcoholic out of fear,’” Raphael said.
He assured the man that was not the case. It’s the kind of long-lasting cultural ripple many tribal members have become accustomed to in the three decades since the school in Harbor Springs closed.

SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION
The story of the abused men are similar and involve housemothers who cared for the boys when they were not in class. Paul Raphael was two grades behind Jerry and confirmed that he saw Jerry kissing the nun on a couch when they were watching television. He said she also kissed other boys, including a third grader.
Raphael said the nun began her seduction by kissing the boys goodnight. As the boys became older, the two nuns would sneak the boys into their bedrooms — which were right off the large dormitory rooms — at night, and the boys would leave early in the morning.
The boys said they resisted at first, but the nuns showered them with proclamations of love and special privileges, such as buying candy at the Feathers Variety Store in downtown Harbor Springs or letting them watch movies at the Lyric Theatre.
Russell Menefee, now 59, told the Grand Rapids Press that one of the nuns would walk into the dormitory after everyone had been tucked in. She stopped at his bed and fondled him at least a dozen times.
One student from this era told Veronica Pasfield he lost his virginity to the nun at the age of 15.
“I’m always careful not to interview him during the winter because he lives in an isolated place, and I want to be careful about his emotional well-being. There have been so many suicides by survivors of schools around the country after they came forward with their stories,” she said.

So Western civilization does not have proper initiation for males and females going into puberty - on how to resonate with the natural healing energy. Instead Western civilization is based on a culture of abuse - something people are in denial about. I call this the Alchemy of DeNile.
