The Tlingit medicine woman

My name is Tlinukt'juheen (Sweetwater), I am from the Gitsbuwada (Tsimpsian-Killerwhale)clan, Kiks.adi yadi (my father is Tlingit-Raven/Frog) clan. My great-grandmother was Yeil'yadi klaa, was the matriarch of our clan. She is the grand-daughter of Chief Shakes, from the Wolf clan, of the Shark House, from the Shutk'heen (the Stikine River).

I am a traditional medicine women, by that I mean I learned all my healing work I know from Haa Shagoon (my ancestors) who were all shamans and medicine people, with the help of Haa Shaageinyaa (the Holy Spirit). Our people know there is one Creator - Dikee Aankaawu, my people did not 'worship many gods' as the ignorant missionaries believed. I believe in the power of Haa Shageinyaa and holy angels. I also believe that everything has a spirit, and we are all connected and eternal. I know there are good spirits and evil spirits, and I have called on my ancestors many times for help, guidance, and teachings. They are not 'familiar spirits' or 'evil spirits'. I was raised in the church as a child, and I don't knock others beliefs, but I know what they think of our peoples beliefs is wrong and narrow-minded.

I have done alot of spiritual work on myself, my family and friends. I have done a lot of 'house-cleaning' for myself, removing negative trauma from this life and past-lives. I have done much mind, spirit, and body strengthenig work to help make the spiritual work I do more effective. I remain positive in outlook and in life, and thankful to Dikee Ankaawu. I live every day as if it could be my last, by helping others in need and telling people how much I love them, and enjoying life.

I have helped heal people of cancer, Lyme Disease, brought people out of comas, removed brain tumors, stopped heart attacks and stokes, and many other healings just with prayer, that many people would consider miraculous.

All the people I have helped sought medical treatment from 'conventional methods' with little or no results. Yet, I never claim this power as my own, I only make myself a vessel for the Divine Will of Dikee Aankaawu.

I do not consider myself a 'faith-healer' yet I know it is my stong beliefs and faith in Dikee Aankaawu that allows my prayers to be answered so quickly and powerfully. I have always had the 'faith of a mustard seed'. The work I do you will never find in any book, it is 'traditional knowledge' handed down from my ancestors. It would be considered 'high-magic' and very powerful.

Our people understood the cycles of life and death, and how we are connected to Haa Shagoon (our ancestors-those who have gone before us) and Haa Shuka (those yet to come). We believe when we die, we always come back to the same family or clan. We believe we are connected to the past, present, and future.

The Dene Skinwalkers and the Old Spiritual War

That brings me to my present problem. The Tlingit and Dene (Navajo) people were Athapaskan people before we migrated to the areas we now live. My people still tell our migration stories and flood stories, so I know we have been where we are since before 'the Flood'.

The some of the Dene practiced the black arts, for this reason my people drove them out of our land. Some of them were not driven out, and they still live in Canada, and we still call them Dene.

The evil Dene were driven out everywhere they went till they reached the area they now live. They have been there for only the past 700 or so years, they inter-married with the Hopi and Pueblo and adopted their ways and beliefs. Many of them today don't even know they came from the same place of my people. Yet, we still speak a similar language.

Anyway, I have been involved in a spiritual battle with several Dene who still practice their black arts of witchcraft, wizardry, skinwalkers, sorcery, shape-shifters, hataali (singers), bundle-workers, sand-painters, and those who do Frenzy, Disease, or Eagle-pit witchcraft. (not all hatalli or sand-painters are evil, but many are).

They still use (or being used by) the ancient evil spirits of their ancestors to inflict harm and kill many unsuspecting people. They always work in a group, and usually target other Native Americans who have any kind of spiritual gifts. They are like vampires, feeding off people's spirit, then somehow keeping peoples spiritual gifts after they die.

They are very good at what they do, and very deceptive, to look at them they seem nice, soft spoken, and law-abiding. I have learned alot just from constantly having to protect myself and others or helping others that are attacked by them. I personally know 6 of them I first fought with, I was too strong for them, so they moved on to 'easier prey'.

I became involved with a different group after moving to Washington state where a they were trying to kill my niece and cousin. I can see them in my dreams, and see or feel the spirits when they send them to 'attack'. My niece and cousin are also gifted and could see and/or hear them also. This forum is too small to tell of all their methods of spiritual attack.

Well, to make a long story short. I helped my cousin and niece when under severe attack by praying a prayer of intervention and forgiveness, surrounding the Dene with holy angels and anointed them with the Holy Spirit.

They all died (8 of them), then their whole families/clans who also do this evil work came after me. Since I was able to withstand such an assault, they somehow avoid their evil intentions returning to them by 'forwarding it' to my family, friends, or anyone who tried to help me.

I know probably all the reputable Native medicine people in this area, and many know how strong and relentless the Dene can be and refused to help me. I have not been able to figure out how they forward their work to other people.

My question is for Robert Bruce: do you know any traditional Native medicine people who have spiritually fought the Dene before? And, would they be willing to help me?

I am tired of the constant battle, it is me (the angels, Holy Spirit, and Dikee Aankawu) against many of them and their army of darkness. Like I said, they are relentless and want revenge. I would appreciate a personal and private response. Gunalcheesh (thank you).

Runlola,

No, ignoring it doesn't help. If you did that it would just come back or latch onto someone else in the room.

What they did was grab a hold of it. Then they took it outside and dug a hole in the ground. They (Indian Shaker Church)use bells, candles, and 'brushing' to remove evil spirits. By brushing I mean they scan the body with their hands and feel for the point of entry, usually the person may know already. Then they start pulling on it.

They pulled it off, then they put it in the hole and put the (blessed) candle on it, and covered it up, and put a big boulder over it. They worked on several other people who all vomited too. I called my friend the next day to tell her I got sick, she just laughed and said that was a good sign and they were waiting for me to get sick the night before. Their method worked, but the way I learned is much easier, faster, and you don't get sick.

Paulusz,

Yes, actually it was a demon (a much stronger evil spirit) that was sent to spiritually attack me by several Dene who practice the black arts to harm and kill people. Another friend of mine (who is actually the great-grandson of Chief Joseph) had a dream about me the same night I had a dream of it and saw it sent to latch onto me. He was extremely concerned and kept calling me, although I went out of town the next day. Then came back for some help from the Indian Shakers.

See some of my story at:

I do not want to offend anyone, but many of the techniques in Robert's book seems to me to be low-level work, it is effective on a lower (physical) level. There are hiarchies of good and evil spirits. Occult spirits (like spirits that do witchcraft, socery, wizardry, etc.) are much stronger. Lower-lever spiritual work does work on lower-level spirits. I only do high magic, which effects the spirits at a higher (spiritual) level.

I used to try lower-level work, sprinkle salt and cornmeal around my home, try to use sage or sweetgrass, etc. The people and spirits I am involved with are able to come through that no problem. So, now I only do high magic, that is the only way that is effective. I only asked Robert if he knew of anyone else who has come across the type of people I am dealing with (and hopefully able to also do high magic) and would be willing to help me. His techniques wouldn't work in my case.

Moonburn33,

I never focus on the physical aspect (the mole) except to know if I do have an unusual red bump suddenly it means I have an evil spirit attached to me. I am very sensitive and can tell right away, I will feel heavier like a dark cloud is always on me, I may have a sudden pain in my body, or I may see it as a dark spot on me. In fact I just removed another bunch last night sent to attack me that were latching onto my solar plexus area. Again, I didn't get sick and there were a dozen or more of them. Once the evil spirit is made to leave, the red, painful bump (or mole) disappears instanly.

I focus on only the spiritual level, asking the Holy Spirit and angels to come. I Bind the Holy Spirit to the evil spirit(s), demand it to leave in the presence of the Holy Spirit, and ask the Holy Spirit and angels to take it to the feet of Jesus Christ. I make it (them) bow before Him acknowledge the Creator's Supreme power, and demand it (them) never return or come back to harm me, or any of my friends/family ever again. I also forbid them to do the bidding of anyone who sent them...

So, I hope I don't confuse you all and that clarifies somethings. I am not afraid of them at all, fear is what they latch onto and gives their work 'power'.

I notice most people are not aware that they are under spiritual attack either by someone who has sent them or randomly. Being aware of your body, mind, and spirit and strengthening it, putting on protection on yourself and all your belongings, staying grounded, and staying connect to the Source is helpful.

Peace,

Hi Paulusz,

I have removed about 25-30 cyst-like bumps from my head. During a severe spiritual attack (several people sent these evil spirits to me) I could feel the spirits in me and the point of entry. It left red, painful, raised bumps on my head about the size of quarters. Many were layered on top of one another.

I never heard of such a thing as drawing on it with a ball-point pen. My ancestors simply taught me how to pull the spirit out, send it away, and then the bumps would simply disappear. I found it much more effective and much easier by simply binding the Holy Spirit to the evil spirits, and asking the Holy Spirit and Holy angels to take them away. And, best of all you don't get sick...

Before I learned how to do that, I worked with other Native medicine people that physically pulled an evil spirit off my back. I believe they put too much of their own will into what they are doing, and didn't know they were doing things 'the hard way'.

They were pulling for along time, working up a sweat, getting wore out. Finally, when they did get it off. It escaped and they had to chase it around the room. You could not see it with your physical sight, but they had their eyes closed and could see it spiritually. (I had seen it in my dreams a few days before). They had their hands around it and you could see they were getting bite marks and scratches from it!

The next day I got so sick, threw-up a bunch...yuck. Afterwards I did feel better. But, many people don't know how to simply let the Holy Spirit and angels do the work. That is why they get sick when it comes out. It is fighting you, you are only human, it is a spirit...

I helped pull out evil spirits from other people also. They never got sick or felt ill, always they felt much better and lighter. So, people are the ones who make it hard on themselves.

It is better to simply surrender your will to the Divine Will of the Creator and don't try to match wills with an evil spirit. Let the Holy Spirit and angels do the work. Unless you like getting sick and doing things the hard way.

Peace -

Gunalcheesh (thank you) Runlola and Rastus, and thank you for sharing also.

Runlola,

I know how hard it is to see someone close to you sick and/or in pain. I had to talk to my Father because he was scared and you could see it in his face.  I asked him if he wanted to die? Because at first he just wanted to do whatever the Dr's told him. I told him they would probably kill him with the Chemo. (I am a very direct person)Then I told him if he wants to die, go back home and die, don't come down her to die by me. But then I said, "if you want to live, I'll be with you every step of the way, we will fight and beat this cancer together." He decided he wanted to live, and I could literally see a change in his face, no more fear, only trust and determination.

After his treatment a friend from Oregon called me up and said she was going to a funeral that weekend for a friend's Mother who had just died from Chemo (well actually a virus that her body was not able to fight off after treatment), they also found she did not even have cancer-she had been misdiagnosed! I told my Father about it, that Chemo can kill you, he was so thankful for all the help I did for him. He still thanks God every day for another chance at life.

I too learned about the importance of diet. And, I have put myself on a cancer prevention diet, like what I made him do. I don't eat red meat or eat processed foods, practically eliminated salt & sugar, quit drinking coffee, etc. I eat plenty of vegetables/fruit, with chicken or fish, and drink lots of green tea and water. I do cleanses and fast to eliminate toxins.

When my Father went back home, at first he tried going back to his old eating habits. He immediately got extremely sick, so now he knows what not to eat anymore.

I also think grounding is very important, I always pray for the Lord to keep me 'rooted and grounded in His everlasting love, the love he had for us before the foundations of this world'. I always put on the armor of God, and do body, mind, or spirit strengthening excersises every day.

Although I don't consider myself a 'Christian' in the sense of going to any organized religion or church. I do find some aspects, probably that what the so-called Christians today have no concept of very helpful. I think it is because our people and the ancient Jews have very similar cultural beliefs, language, and concepts. Some people believe we are the 'lost tribe of Israel'.

Rastus,

Gunalcheesh for your kind words. I can also feel peoples emotions when I work on them or pray for them. I could feel your tears...

I believe everyone has a culture and ancestors, but many people today have 'left them behind' when moving forward with the 'Manifest Destiny' of this country.

I have helped people of European background find them. I was helping a young man. I prepared some of our traditional food, asked a blessing for it, then had him throw it in a fire. This is our tradition of how we 'feed the spirit of our Haa Shagoon (those who have gone before us-ancestors). It strengthens them, I have also done that to feed the Grizzley Bear, Killerwhale, and Thunderbird spirits that have helped me.

Anyway, I called his ancestors to come eat. At first they came then stopped, so I told them, "It's from Nate". Then they came and 'took it'. Later, Nate wanted to go outside to talk about it (we were at a ceremomy). He asked me, "what happened in there? I could feel my grandmother and grandfather's spirit go through me."

I said I know, "they came and at first didn't take it (maybe they wondered about the traditional food) once I told them it was from you, they accepted it." Well, after that Nate began healing emotional and spiritually.

Even his Mother who had been trying to do research about their family tree, and had come up against an impass and was 'stuck'was amazed. Because two days later, all the sudden a relative from 'the old country' contacted her and gave her much information about their family tree...

So, please don't feel you don't have ancestors to help you. They probably are but you don't realize it. We all came from somewhere. I am just very fortunate to have grown up like I did.

My grandparents had an arranged marriage, practically the only food they ate was our traditional food, my grandfather told us clan history and stories every single day after dinner. My grandmother took me everywhere with her (and not any of my other siblings or cousins), to our ceremonies, to her Native meetings and conventions, etc. I now know why they did this. They knew I would be the one to pass on our culture.

Many Native Americans today are 'lost without their culture' because of westernization and colonization. Well, what comes around goes around. I believe the colonizer has also become colonized, and they too are just as 'lost'. But, like I said before, all you have to do is ask...

Have a safe and healing trip, may your ancestors be with you.

Peace-

Hi Souldragon,

I am a traditional Native American healer(actually Alaska Native), I learn my medicine/healing from Haa Shagoon (my ancestors). I don't read books or study under self-professed 'masters' to learn my medicine. As all my ancestors before me, who were shamans and medicine women for thousands of years, I 'simply ask and I receive' the knowledge I need to do the work. I trust and believe that the Creator is always guiding and helping me...

Many healers do not work on themselves first, and have not developed spiritually before they try healing. I did not even think of healing others till I had done much healing on myself and my family first for many years.

We are all connected to our family, and by helping your family to heal you also get much stronger spiritually. Many healers don't know how to protect themselve either, which is why they get sick from trying to heal other people. They don't know simple basics of grounding, protection, or even asking the Creator and angels for help. I believe they put to much of their own will into it, instead of surrendering their will to allow the Creator to do the work. I have never suffered a 'backlash' of any kind from doing healing work, nor have I ever 'caught' anything from people I help. Actually, I get energized and feel better from doing the work, and strengthened.

Anyway, I was my first patient, healing my 4 slipped discs in my lower back that left me bed-ridden for 6 months. I have always had spiritual gifts since a child, but I was literally 'called' as they say to do this work by my ancestors who were telling me to do it. I knew it was not an easy road, it could be dangerous, and I did not know if I could committ to such a life, I also knew there would be no turning back once I decided to do the work.

Finally, after doubling over in pain and almost blacking-out from it, I sat up and told them (it was my grandmother's), "Ok, I'll do it." Immediately my pain disappeared and I began to heal, I began to have dreams of them talking to me in our Native language.

After that, all I had to do was ask to learn something, and suddenly I could do it. Healing with my hands (as my grandmother who could heal broken bones with her hands), healing in my dreams or visions, doing things with the weather, and other things.

The healing with hands I do is similar to Reiki, but way more powerful. I have worked with 'Reiki masters' who were amazed, and wanted to learn 'my techniques'. As other true shamans, I don't reveal all my gifts or secrets, but I would share some basics as I am now.

My father was my second patient. He had colon cancer, with a tumor 5 cm that was spreading to the back bone, he was totally enemic, losing weight, and eating all the wrong foods/beverages.

I changed his diet and prayed with him every day. I found herbs from the health store simply by closing my eyes and running my hand over them. Where my hand felt a 'pull' I would take that herb or supplement home and make him take it.

I cancelled his appointments for Chemo/Radiation and for three months worked with him. His doctor called me up and said, "You know, your Father is going to die if he doesn't get this treatment?"...I replied, "You know, we ALL are going to die...at least I am going to give him a fighting chance, and not kill him off with Chemo like you plan to do. At least let him die with some dignity." then I hung-up on him...

Finally, my father wanted to go back to Alaska. So, I told him he had to go through 'conventional' treatment. I took him to a different hospital (at the University of Washington), where those Dr's scolded me and said they will have to do another CAT scan/MRI on him, because his cancer 'probably spread all over by now'.

Well, they found his tumor stopped growing and shrank down to 4.2 cm and the cancer that was previously spreading to his back bone completely gone! Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells and is always growing left untreated, so to see it shrink so much in a short time left the Dr's scratching their heads.

I kept him on the diet, herbs, special drinks, and prayer. He went through Chemo/Radiation and was the only one that didn't loose his hair, he didn't get nauseous or mouth sores, his blood was normal and remained so through out treatment. You couldn't even tell he was sick.

I also had to work on him emotionally. I believed this was the biggest part of his disease. He started drinking when we (my siblings and I)were children, and left to work on the pipeline. So, we were raised by my grandparents who lived the 'old way'.

I felt I had to talk to him about my feelings. I used the 'Clearing Structure', which is a way of talking respectfully to another person and sticking to the main point, asking for what you need in order to heal, then listening to their response.

So, I had him apoligize to me and to our whole family, friends, and to his ex-wives, all the people he hurt over the years in one way or another when he used to drink. He was literally glowing as he called more people. Everyone cried and accepted his apology.

Well, he had a dream that night before 'his making amends'. He dreamt he was going home on a boat my grandfather had built years ago, and I was with him. In our Tlingit tradition we believe going by water somewhere signifies death. Especially to him, since in his dream I was 'bringing him home' by boat as our ancestors, and many times we still do when someone dies.

After apologizing to my sister, who lives on Maui, he said she wanted to talk to me. She also had a dream the same night my Father did. She dreamt I was on a big boat and there was a little boy with me. She didn't know who the boy was, but he was being a little terror, misbehaving, causing trouble, etc. Finally, the boy jumped over board, and two men jumped in and pulled him out. After they brought him out, he was fine and being a good boy...

To me it signified a 'death' to his old life, and reborn new and cleansed. Well, after that people in my family start apologizing to each other. Brothers who were angry and hadn't spoken to each other in 5 years. Cousins calling other relatives and apologizing. Then even at my Father's church (he quit drinking in '94 and became a Christian) the minister heard about what my Father had done, and wanted to organize a 'Forgiveness Day' for other members, it had snow-balled!

Those were my first healing work. Now, I continue to learn new things from my ancestors and have become much more effective. I found prayer to be most powerful, praising the Creator and thanking Him, and asking the angels for help.

I have brought people out of comas simply by going to their house and 'cleansing it and blessing it', removed brain tumors by praying with a friend on the phone. I've helped heal my sister of Lyme Disease, stopped heart attacks and strokes, cured my friend of narcolepsy by cleansing and blessing his house, repaired severed nerves (accidently cut by a Dr. during surgery). And many other miraculous healings. I never claim this power as my own, but make myself a vessel for the Divine will of the Creator. My Father is still cancer-free (going on 7 years now)...

I only help people who ask for my help and/or I usually have a dream about them first. I have what I call a 'knowing' within in me, and usually know who needs my help, and I know what they need in order to heal. Be it spiritual, emotional, past-life work, herbs, etc.

I also don't charge a fee to people I help, because I believe like it says in the bible 'freely have you received, freely shall you give' (something like that). I prefer to be repaid 'in the spirit' always whenever I really need to something to help myself or others, it comes to me...

I don't go around trying to 'heal the world' or even tell everyone I am a healer. Other true shamans see what is in me, and I have met many this way. I have also met many shamans who 'are jealous' of me and try to put a curse on me. They have come from many different tribes, even Hawaiians. They don't like the fact I only use my power for good or they want to 'test' their power. I am always too strong and they end up getting hurt instead. I simply bless them and forgive them. Forgiveness is one of the most powerful healing work anyone can do...

My recommendation to you is to work on yourself first if you think you are a healer. It is not an easy road, but it is worth the effort. The answers you seek are not 'out there' somewhere, they are within you. If you really want to learn, trust the Creator, all you have to do is ask...good luck and blessings.

Peace,

Hi Risu,

I have found it is important to specifically ask for what I want or need. Perhaps to you I seem to be 'narrowing my field of help', but I have learned it is not wise to go into a circle and send out an all-points bulletin 'SOS'.

You never know who is in a circle, and after reading some of the messages in these forums I can tell there are some people who have little experience with Negs, maybe had one encounter, etc. If someone were to think they could help me and did not have enough experience or protection, they could get hurt or killed, or someone in their family would. This I have already seen when I first was frantically looking for help long ago. They can be very dangerous, and I don't want to endanger a well-intentioned, but inexperienced or under-protected fellow human on their path of healing and growing.

The other reason is I prefer someone who at least has some knowlege of the Skinwalkers and their work. This way I don't have to explain everything to them, and they already know what they might be up against.

So yes, I would prefer another Native American medicine person or someone who has experience with the Dene Skinwalkers. Since Nita has come across this type of work and dealt with a Skinwalker already, I am certain she is the reason I even decided to try this forum in the first place.

Nita has graciously offered to help me, and I have accepted and I am thankful for whatever assistance she can provide. I thank Dikee Aankawu for bringing us together. Gunalcheesh (thank you) for your well wishes and question to give me the opportunity to clarify this.

Peace

Hi Nick,

Obviously, you did not read my message thoroughly. I plainly said SOME of the Dene (that is what our people always called them, and what they still call themselves) practice the black arts. It plainly does NOT say ALL the Dene practice it...(I know how it is pronounced as I speak my language, and our language is still similar). I also said plainly in my first message "not all hataali and sand-painters were evil"...So please do not misconstrue my words or meaning.

The Dene live all over the country, and they do not have to live in the same area as the person they are 'working on' to do their evil work. They are masters at sending their spirits to distant locations. The ones I know personally live in Alaska and Washington.

'Skinwalkers' or 'Navajo Wolves' is a general term used today to describe Dene who do the black arts. Not all are shape-shifters, which is why I listed witches, wizards, socerers, etc...

I know some good Dene who are spiritual leaders around here. When I called one up and just mentioned the word 'Skinwalkers' he immediately said, "I don't mess with them, they are too strong and dangerous for me. I don't want to put myself or my family in danger." Then he hung-up on me...

I know some leaders in the Native American Church. One came to town, and he came over to 'help' me. Later, I got extremely sick, weak, and lost alot of weight. Later, I had a dream about it that confirmed his 'good-guy' approach is just a front.

They are masters of deception also and often play 'good guy/bad guy' with another one of their group. One hexes someone, the other 'heals' them, then they split the profits.

I called down in Arizona at the Native American Church down there and talked to a member who is supposedly 'good'. The same day the 'good medicine man' who was supposed to 'help' me also gave a message to me through a friend of mine. I know most of their tricks, and they were able to establish contact with me. The same day my father had a heart attack. I had to help remove the curse from my father, and he is ok now. So, it can be very dangerous, and I have to be careful who I go to.

I have looked online, the lady who had the only website to help others deal with this type of black arts is now dead...I've studied both their good and evil beliefs. Sometimes, I just simply prayed and the answer would come to me about how they work.

I have contacted other near-by tribes such as a Ute medicine man. His prayers helped only for about a day or two. So, I knew this was a long-shot, but I was hoping that Robert Bruce may know someone who would be able and willing to help me...

Like I said, the work they do and the work I do is 'high-magic' passed down over the generations and from our ancestors. Many people
today do not know how to do this type of work. The evil Dene are also masters at turning peoples medicine against them, so I have quickly learned to call on just the Holy angels and Holy Spirit for help in dealing with them.

Salt, cornmeal, salt-water sprinkled around your home, running water,
sage, sweetgrass, etc. does not phase them. I have found that only 'high-magic' is able to affect them or rebuff an attack...

So, thanks anyway. I hope that clarifies the issue a little more. I thank Dikee Aankaawu (the Creator) every day for His protection, and I am very well protected. Their work has little or no affect on me personally.

It is harder for me to try to protect others though, because they haven't 'cleaned house' by letting go of old hurts, anger, hatred, or other negative emotions from this life or perhaps other life-times. Or, they haven't asked the Creator to forgive them for their transgressions and remove that negativety from their lives, body, or spirits. This is what the Negs latch onto when sent to attack people, this is how they hurt and harm people...I have to remain positive all the time, forgive them, and bless them.

This is an ancient battle fought over many lifetimes, and I feel this is the last big battle, I won't have to go through this ever again. But, it sure would be nice if I had some help, I am very out-numbered, and tired of the constant daily struggle and would like to get on with my life without having to worry who they have targeted next...
