Elder's Gulf research: 'Grief like war-torn Iraq,' 'Mutated life forms' (video)

As oil continues gushing into the Gulf of Mexico; spraying poison and man-made bacteria continues in the Gulf Region; and its Peoples continue suffering, grieving and dying from toxins, suppression and the cover-up, a  Grandmother Blue Otter, Shamanic Medicine ceremonialist for the Clan of Blue Star Grandmothers, Alchemical Healing teacher and Spirit Dance intercessor spoke Saturday about widespread grief observed during her research recently completed on Gulf Coast catastrophic impacts. 

Charla Hermann, raised in Spiritual arms of Wind River Reservation of Wyoming, is taking a unique perspective that honors ancient traditions and shamanism to Gulf Plague survivors. For over 40 years, Hermann has served with prominent medicine men and women of many nations, providing tools and wisdom teachings to help what she calls "tumultuous Earth Changes of our time."

Now, she is working with singer/songwriter Dr. John, a native of New Orleans, to take tools and wisdom to Gulf Plague survivors according to Chief Phil Lane's Gulf Plague Talking Circle on Saturday. Hermann praised the new free book produced for Gulf Peoples' struggling to survive the Gulf Plague, Coming Clean: From Denial to Detox, saying it needed to be in many more hands.

At the Talking Circle, Hermann brought forth a compassionate message of rebirth, renewal and hope to Gulf Plague survivors. She knows who these survivors are. She has seen their faces. She wept as she described the grief in their faces.

She said that she has never seen anything like the widespread grief along the Gulf coast, except in war-torn Iraq. (See embedded Youtube video, "Elder Hermann's Gulf research: 'Grief like Iraq war zone,' 'confusion,' 'mutated  life forms'")

“7O% of the birds in North America migrate through the Gulf area. So when such a short time later, we have birds dropping out of the sky. - What does that mean?,” Elder Hermann asked.

Hermann said that she comes from a spiritual point of view as an archivist keeper of the stories for the tribes and this ties back to her spiritual background.
