First Americans

james churchward's "the sacred sympols of mu"
and the addendum to his "the lost continent of mu"

he provides a wonderful connection between sacred symbols from major groups of people on all of the continents to support his belief/theory that key sacred symbols origins are connected to one another.

also, if you sell from a booth or a website, you might link photos of scandanavian ceremonial symbols and the time period they are associated with. pictures really help.

understandably, folks can be very touchy about the copying of american indian art, regalia, etc.

if you can demonstrate the historical connection and just the fact that elk and bear and wolves exist all over the northern hemisphere, and have been hunted by many different walks of peoples, they may acknowledge the common ground.

try to not be defensive. instead be proud for being connected to your heritage.

my late husband was of scandinavian and sammi descent. when we first met his need to know everything about my heritage and ancestor's culture was annoying - until i encouraged him to learn more about his own heritage. his family had a pair of beautifully beaded reindeer skin tobacco bags and other items that had been kept in the family and brought over when they immigrated to america in 1900.
