MXDBLOOD.COM is dedicated to the many mixed bloods who are descended in part from pre-Contact Indigenes of the Western Hemisphere and to establishing full recognition by federal and tribal governments. We welcome all no matter your ancestry, and hope to make you a friend.
Our focus is on the Lifeways of our ancestors more than political activism: there are many sites, issues, and knowledgeable people involved in those pursuits and they're easy enough to find if that's what you're looking for. What you will find here are tools to help you get and stay grounded, no matter what your interests, or challenges.
As such, our primary offering is the Teachings of the Medicine Wheel, which is a two day healing workshop. The Medicine Wheel is a "system" given to the ancients long ago to be applied in many different ways, from the cosmic to the deeply personal. What we offer are rare and not often shared teachings that deal directly with personal Life-patterns. Please visit the Medicine Wheel pages to learn how you can benefit.
We also present the Medicine Shields workshop, a study of the qualities carried by the warrior societies. The focus of the Medicine Shields is learning how we can transform fear and uncertainty into confidence, compassion, and ultimately wisdom. The Medicine Wheel and Medicine Shields workshops are about healing the individual. Once we've done that, we might have a chance at healing the Earth.

next revision sometime late July, early August
While you're here, please visit the Native American Lecture Series pages. We offer drum and rattle making workshops, our schedule is current, and there are e-mail links on the workshops and drum pages to make it easy for you to get in touch should you be interested in bringing any of these resources to your area.
Please note: we only list ceremony we conduct while on the road, and then not always. If you are intersted in that, introduce yourself via e-mail (see below) and we'll be in touch.
We do not charge for ceremony and we do not forward
announcements of ceremonies that have a set fee.
Workshops and lectures are not ceremonies.
There is the obligatory About Us page, which is where you'll find an e-mail hotlink and a contact form to make it easy for you to give us feedback and OPT-IN to our e-list. We want to hear from you, to know your views and ideas of ways to improve this site technically and aesthetically. There are also SELECT links on that page.
wado,
