Introduction | e-qua yona, Cherokee for 'big bear' is the only nick name I've ever had, at least one I liked. One of my favorite ever students called me that when I taught for the Eastern Band Cherokee. It is Mato Tanka in Lakota. I have lived a nomadic life and have enjoyed most of it so far. Seeking balance with the universe or great mystery is what life oughta be about. |
