Little Moon has a dream Spotted Dog takes the lead He soars over the open plains Coming to a mountain there is a cave And Spotted Dog trots in There lies a bear hibernating He snorts a bit Little Moon see’s a distant light more a glow Spotted Dog leads on They come to a fire light and around the circle are old warriors They’re smoking a peace pipe One gestures to Little Moon to sit He smokes and listens to their tales He’s told of visions and a seeker One old warrior looks at him He says this is the Elders’ Circle so remember it and pass it on to the brothers and sisters so they might know the Great Spirit awaits and another life lies ahead You shall return here when you are older We have much to tell Spotted Dog who had been laying down jumped up and headed down the corridor Little Moon could see the paintings Upon the wall he’s spots a half moon and a full moon casting different shadows He is greatly honored He had visited the Elders’ Circle
Sounds like the start of a saga to me :). So many meanings come to mind in the symbolism imaged here. One image in particular, the one of the half-moon and full moon--suggests to me the annilation and dissimilation of native peoples who will be made whole once again as has been foretold in visions. Oh do continue the writing of this story, Dale. Very fine!
A fascinating initiation and ceremonial occasion unfolds in this symbolic and visual poem Dale

The drug called "The Shari" has been used for vision quests over many years. But, when all the rivers start drying up, the tribe must send a young hunter named Tomás on a much more important trip through the Amazon.
