     Rick McBride is a mixed blood Tsalagi (Cherokee) who has been a life-long student of American Indian Lifeways, actively following the Red Road and participating in Native American ceremony for well over 25 years. He is a sundancer, traditionally trained and authorized to lead ceremonies including inipi (sweat lodge), pipe, drum healing, and others, and was taught advanced principles of the Medicine Wheel by Cheyenne Elder Hyemeyohsts Storm in 1994.

     Rick's place is that of "translator" of the Native American Lifeways to help anybody sincerely interested in learning how to become a better human being, his hope being to help achieve a proper balance in human race consciousness. His Spirit name is Cante Lute (in the Lakota language, Adanvdo Gigagei in Tsalagi) and means Red Heart; this name was passed to him in ceremony at sundance.
