Native American Wedding
I am a non-native but have much interest and respect for native people and their cultures and traditions. I`m a nurse practitioner and am currently writting for a proposal to research the collaboration with and use of traditional healing methods in the Western primary care clinic. I have Indian health services in my future. I am also engaged to be married this July 28th. Being that I am a spiritual person with a deep seated love for nature and balance, I would also love to be wed by a Native American official. It would mean so much more to me to do it that way, rather than in a church setting. I have this strange intuition that I have some link with native culture and so having a NA ceremony is the only way I see that will symbolize my belief system.
I live 30 miles outside of Portland in the country. I am looking for a Native American, whom I will pay to come and wed my fiance and I. I plan to include traditions from both my white culture and native culture. Is this a possible feet, does anyone know?
Thanks for reading,
Gretchen
