Just as an aside we might want to go beyond the public eye. I've got a gmail if you want. otherwise-

The first memory -

I belonged to a family group living in what is now northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. Our spiritual leader selected me to have my vision quest. We went to a place that had been used for them for many ages, what is now known as Copper Falls State Park near Mellon, Wisconsin.

At this place I was instructed to sit on a cliff promontory that stuck out over the river. There were two such promontories, one on the north side, one on the south. The one on the north was for elder, more exerienced people, so it was on the south that I was to sit. I was given a pipe and some tobacco (kinickinic, actually) and nothing else. I was to smoke that pipe as often as felt right. I sat there for fifteen days and did in fact have a vision. I didn't know it but I was brought down from there to an area nearby at the bottom of the falls where all the gathered spiritual leaders of the day awaited, and subsequently heard, the telling of my vision. I didn't become aware of what was going on until I had told them of that vision and they were already departing.

I still remember that vision. It was of this time and I saw many things that, at the time, I didn't understand correctly but thought of them as evil. There were skyscrapers, trains, planes, trucks, cars, smog, misuse of the earth in all ways possible. When I came out of the sort of trance I was in I was seriously upset and I asked the spiritual learder from my familial group how we were to stop this future from happening. He said, "It is the way it must be."

I didn't question this but was apprehensive about the whole affair as I left the sacred grounds.
