Une sorte d'anti-best of en fait.
Voici ce que j'ai reçu (merci Sandra). Une liste d'ouvrages sur les sujets de la spiritualité ou médecine Amérindienne que les Traditionnalistes considèrent comme de la camelotte, bref du pipi de
chat... En résumé, beaucoup de faux-Indiens vendent des livres, des cassettes vidéo ou DVD, et même des cérémonies organisées aux gogos (entendre par là les Blancs - touristes et amoureux de la
culture Amérindienne, adeptes du "shamanisme" et autres...) contre espèces sonnantes et trébuchantes. Mais les Vrais Indiens ne bradent pas leur culture de cette façon. Ils partagent leur
Histoire et une partie de leur culture au travers de rencontres, témoignages ou ouvrages.
Fort heureusement dans la liste ci-dessous, aucun ne m'est connu excepté Carlos Castaneda. Je suppose que ces ouvrages ne sont pas traduits en français, en tout cas les éditions du Rocher ou
Albin Michel (pour sa collection Terre Indienne) ne s'y risqueraient pas. Cependant, on ne sait jamais, une maison d'édition peu scrupuleuse ou tout simplement une envie de s'acheter un de ces
livres en anglais pourraient conduire certains passionnés de la culture Amérindienne à commettre une faute de goût.
A noter que le mot "shaman" est vivement contesté...
BEFORE YOU BUY THAT BOOK ON AMERICAN INDIAN MYSTICISM, SHAMANISM, CEREMONY, ETC, OR PURCHASE THAT 'GENUINE AMERICAN INDIAN' ITEM, STOP & CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING, PLEASE!
You either HAVE BEEN, or are perhaps ABOUT TO BE scammed into becoming what the TRUE Native American People call "Wannabes", "Twinkies", or "Plastic Indians".
You also have POSSIBLY been duped by an unscrupulous seller of Native Culture!
To those of you who are offended please try to understand that ANYONE WHO COMBINES TEACHINGS OF MORE THAN ONE NATIVE CULTURE (for example, Lakota & Cherokee), WHO INCORPORATES UFOs,CELTIC OR
OTHER EUROPEAN, ASIAN, OR NON-AMERICAN INDIAN "RELIGION" INTO THEIR TEACHINGS OR WRITINGS CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO ANY NATIVE TRIBE! IT JUST IS NOT DONE! GO ASK THE TRIBES
THEMSELVES, PLEASE!
FYI, "shamans" are found in ASIA, Tibet, & maybe a few in the old Russian states. Native people DO NOT use the label "shaman" ! "Shaman" is NOT, I repeat, NOT now, nor has it EVER been, a
word found in ANY AUTHENTIC NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGE ! It has been imported & assigned to American Indian Tribal beliefs by FRAUDS, FAKES, NEW AGE GURUS, & the like, i.e. NON_Indians! If
it has "Shaman" in the title, it's FAKE! Trust me on this! Check out actual TRIBAL websites by typing in 'Plastic Shamans' in any search engine.
The warnings are numerous! They also NAME NAMES!
BEFORE YOU BUY:
~~1st & perhaps foremost:
REAL Native Traditionalists, actual REAL INDIANS, believe the ONLY acceptable way to transmit traditional teachings is orally and face-to-face over a very, very long period of time & by
APPROVED Tribal method. Any so-called "traditional teachings" found in ANY book or in any "class", off-reservation "sacred lodge" or "learning center", on ANY websites, etc, are NOT entirely, or
in some cases, NOT AT ALL authentic, be assured. PLEASE, just ask at your LOCAL RESERVATION about any "teachings" going on in your area.
The only way to STOP the FAKES is to REPORT THEM TO THE RECOGNIZED TRIBES!
PLEASE NOTICE I SAID 'RECOGNIZED' Tribes! There are entire FAKE tribes started by & "guided" by FAKE Indians, some with HUGE followings! It is very easy to know which is a RECOGNIZED TRIBE
& which is NOT...go to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S WEBSITE & download the PDF file there of ALL Federally RECOGNIZED Tribes.
~~2nd, & VERY IMPORTANT,
ANY real Native traditions, stories, ceremonies, songs, etc, usually take a LIFETIME to learn,understand & get perfectly right, and must be done with great respect, patience, & honor of
the TRUE sacredness involved. Any offer to teach you all you need to know in a BOOK, "seminar" , or in a "private ceremony",a video or audio tape, or website, etc, is malarkey at best, &
FRAUD at worst.
NO ONE can "LEARN TO BE AN INDIAN"!
~~3rd, Ask any archaeologist if there is ANY record of ANY dig producing even ONE "medicine card" .
The answer will be NO ! NO real Indian ever sat around playing with decks of cards to get answers to life questions, or to get direction!
The following is a list, tho' an abbreviated one, that is taken from NUMEROUS websites of REAL INDIAN activist groups, tribes,etc. These listed are KNOWN fakes, frauds, sellers of FALSE Indian
doctrine, belief, ceremony, & so-called wisdom, in either books, web writings, brochures, etc. This list is from websites that strive to STOP the Cultural GENOCIDE, the THEFT of Native
American Spirituality, Customs, Ceremony, & Beliefs. These people have been EXPOSED, contacted by Tribal leaders in almost ALL instances, & asked to CEASE & DESIST in their FALSE
TEACHINGS, yet they each continue to pump out those books, newsletters, offers on their websites, etc.
PLEASE, do NOT be guilty of aiding & abetting these authors! Refuse to buy!
