My whole life I've been interested in Lakota (most people just know this as a band of Sioux) culture (I admit, this was initially the fluffy bits of fake history in school). After being frustrated on never finding a religion quite suited to me, I stumbled across Pagan reconstruction religion (don't beat me if that's not the proper way to describe it) and it got me into studying Lakota beliefs. It feels perfect for me, like everything I've always thought and felt has a name. The problem is, I have absolutely no native roots and no connection to anyone with any trustworthy knowledge of Lakota practices. I've found a few resources but most of what there is is either sketchy or blatantly ridiculous. I've been doing the best I can on my own, but I want to make sure I'm doing this the right way. I'm not necessarily looking for any kind of mentor or teacher, though I certainly wouldn't be opposed. I'm just hoping for someone to help lead me down the true path, not the one that media and school teachers like to pretend happened. Any books, articles, or personal advice would help me greatly, though I do ask you give me some reasonable validity of the source.
I've never been one of these forums and I admit I'm a newb, so thanks in advance for putting up with me.
