Dr. Norm Shealy's December 15th Newsletter titled " Real Health Freedom " begins: " I have recently been honored to become spiritually adopted by the Nemenhah Band. The reason is clear-- The Native American Cultural and Religious Freedom Act, a FEDERAL law which specifically protects a practitioner of Native American Religion. Healing IS Religion to all American Indians. The ceremony of making a family by Spiritual Adoption is the means for people without blood quanta to become PRACTITIONERS of Native American Religion. The Nemenhah Band is the convocation of NATURAL Healers who are recognized by the federal government, state governments, American Native Tribes and Bands and Indigenous Holy People. This principle has been upheld in lower courts and all the way through the U.S. Supreme Court. Click on the link for the pertinent case, v. O Centro Espirita UDV (2007) The Nemenhah Band has an open invitation to all healers of good intention to become members of the Band through personal Spiritual Adoption.
