I think there was just too much that had happened already around Maine, of non-Native people conducting Native-like ceremonies – some actually were Native ceremonies – and justifying their right to do that. At that time, there was nothing to safeguard any of our rights. And too, we couldn’t even conduct ceremonies in our own communities because of the church. The church was still attacking the sweat lodges or any kind of cultural activity. So it was really insulting when we saw non-Natives doing what we couldn’t do – practice our own traditions.
