why are cherokee indians and all indians so spirituall??

I would say that like everyone else, some are, and some are not.

But many do seem more connected to their surroundings and the earth. Paying more attention perhaps to when nature speaks.

It is because they understand something very important that is required of a enlightened being.

Well...I don't know about all..just me honey.

In my case I was raised to be very spiritual.

To respect all other humans, animals and all of mother earth.

In time as I got older I really understood what that really meant.

It was something that was instilled in me from when I was a small child.

I am now passing that on to my own son.

Being only 4 he has a great understanding of respect to all...including the earth.

Actually its very touching to see him connect the way he does to nature and animals.....

with the indians I know it just comes natural

This is what happens when you aren't force-fed the American Dream day-in and day-out.

You start to look at the world around you; you becme grateful for a meal on the table; a warm blanket on a cold night; friends who help you out when you really need them; a hourse to take you to get food and water for your family; the morning sun as you bathe in clean river water.

The cherokee's were at one with nature; they lived in harmony with it. What do we do? We fucking destroy it all for MONEY.

THE GREAT SPRIT.......GOD

Wat makes them so spirituall and so close to the earth evin in the today times??

I already explained it. Please read my last post.

Yes I agree with you AC!

We need to put material things on the back burner.

Be happy for what you got....not spiteful because of what you do not have.

Take the time to really listen to nature......

Just take the time to connect with the earth.

peace pipe..ya baby ya

Wise words indeed my friend.

It is the way we were raised, and what we were taught.
Lessons are passed down to each generation.

because when you get your dicks knocked in the dirt , your land stolen and generally erased from the power structure.
the only card you have left to play is the spiritual soapbox my god is gonna whup your ass someday . so you make the most of it and sell handcrafted shit to tourists while you wait

because they have a non fabricated history

Agreed.

Because they have their "Oral Traditions" handed down to them........they can by-pass a lot of the programming of today's societies!

luv the beetles...How close to God do you think indians are??

"MO"all i see is a bun ch of ripe freash

"MO"all i see is a bun ch of ripe freash

What do you mean by spiritual, exactly?

Are the Christian Indians counted in this tally?

Just a cheokee or navaho kind of indians doesnt madder if there christians or not...Spiritualy connected to spirits and psycic ability. Know there very earthly but wat about the rest

John Keel says in some of his books that the majority of UFO percipients are either Indian or part-Indian. The next major ethnic group to see such things are Irish.

the reason? Culture, surely, and probably something blameable upon genetics, but which I'd say was a gift from God.

Some things are tought;but mostly handed down through the generations.This is ever preasent about"God"and just what was,what is,and what will always be.How you would like to preasent such"facts"of life to others is a matter of ones own believe in what one has only known through the generations.God...our Father remains the same!

look at it like this OP, The majority of native american indians were only split from their ancestors way of life around 2-300 years ago most easterners go back thouasnads of years and then look at many tribes that are still living they are some of the most spiritual groups of peopl you will ever meet. most people cannot comprehend what the mind of a natural human being is like and how you function.

Imagine no buildings no stores no people no cars no tv anywhere on this planet. You would feel almost naked and very vulnerable. Now imaigne it the other way around. You are the native walking into this commercialized blind walking robot filled world where you see nothing left of the eden taht you once knew. no animals no plants nothing you knew to be the only thing keeping you alive and encouraging the circle of life.

More like, why is our culture void of spirituality?

Because a bunch of new age fuckwits have latched onto and appropriated certain readily identifiable aspects of Native American culture, and re-branded it as spirituality for the gullible and stupid.

I think it may be because they are closer to nature. Human beings can't live close to nature for a long time without developing some sense of the spiritual in and around nature.

Close to nature...close to God...and close to God makes humanity spiritual.
