My name is Sleeping Crow, spiritual son of Ala:Kalahanamae, a walker and elder on the Red Path, the Native American/First Peoples tradition. My last promise to my father was to share what he had gifted me as a young man, the wisdom of his long life, when the time should come. It is now a part of my own journey on the Western Path to keep this promise, following in his footsteps. May it be worthy and useful.

Each of the sections on this site deal with a topic of importance in the Native American and First Peoples tradition as taught to me. Order is not especially important in reading through these pages; however, there are a few terms typical to our tradition that may be unfamiliar to some. If so, please continue to read on. The meaning will become clear in time. I have tried to keep these pieces short and simple, yet complete enough to capture the nature of our beliefs. The Native way, the Red Path, is not easily expressed in words but it comes to each of us naturally, if we are willing to open ourselves to the possibilities all around us.
