My wife is well into 'native american spiritualism'. I bet shes got it all wrong.
Every time she goes out she drips in silver and turquoise jewlry which all had to be made in North america by native americans, costs a fortune it does.
If she is native american, I'd say that there is nothing more natural than to be interested in the native religious practices of her own people.
I personally am very interested in our pre-muslim religion, although I couldn't profess to be a practicioner, as it simply is not a religion that you can practice as a solitary practicioner.

Uncertain fatalism ≠ turkey
Turkey amuses me every time I think about it.
It actually is a name that the italians gave to us. The name Turkey comes from "Turchia" which in turn comes from "Turchmenia".
If I'll ever be in a position to change the name of our country, I'll rename it "Far Turkistan".
