I was maybe a year old or not even when I got very terrible pneumonia. Me and my parents lived in Sitka Alaska at the time because my dad was in the military. My parents were very worried for me and doctor said I might not make it and might have to be transferred to a children’s hospital in anchorage the next day. That same day a local tribe was in the hospital and asked my parents if they can pray over me to feel better. My parents, both caucasian, said of course and that anything helps at this point. My parents told me they huddled in a circle around me in my hospital room and chanted their native tongue for a pretty long time then left. Then next day my fever went away and I was back to normal standing in my crib. Doctors said they could not believe it that I was healthy again. This happened in about 2001 and I just want to understand the tribe better and what they believe and what possibly they could have been chanting. My parents are forever grateful for them and I believe they helped me get back to health as well. Thank you to the Native Americans and i can speak on my behalf and my family’s that we are forever grateful for you! Anything helps and thank you!
I really would like to enroll. Im 50 percent from my biological father's side. I never knew him. He passed away years ago. My birth certificate has my mother's husband. Can I get enrollment help?
