NO!,YES!
I don't know anything about you as you don't tell us much about
yourself. I don't mean to be flip or un-responsive to your the question I
think you are try to pose here. I think what you want is to know
something about Indian religion and the Cherokee belief system in
particular. I am not a Cherokee, but I know a few and one of their
Medicine Men. The Cherokee like others of us in Indian country have not
had our traditions and relationship with Grandfather stamped out. However
you will not find out much about Indian culture or religion, unless you
are willing to share alot about yourself and why you want to know. You see
for a long long time Indians have been burned by people who came to
"learn" about our religion and culture. You will find that Indian country
if very guarded about these things. I hope this will cause you to rephase
your request providing more information about you and what and why you
want to know.
Good luck and regards,
