Discovering tea can give you chills.
I never looked into or really thought about Native animal spirits and their meaning until I ran across my Uncle Badger during my research. But it made me more interested in it, and last week I ran across what the Elk means to the Natives.
Its eerily similar to how I feel about the Buck. I've had this chain since 2010 (years before ancestry was even something I cared about) and it always meant so much to me. Everyone always asked me what it means, Squid being one of them, last year I explained it to him.
My best friend kii'd down when I first told her what the animal meant to me. I always felt like I am the Buck. People will have you thinking you're crazy. But this is why I say research helps you make more sense of things.
