Crisis and Rare Pain Association of Wyoming M Renee Blare

It takes energy to help others. It takes effort to show them you care. It takes love to make a difference in someone's life to make them WANT to stay around especially when they are ill and it looks as if there are no options for cure. That is the purpose of the chants and the songs and the prayers and the love of the tribe. Sickness was scary to the people. They didn't understand what it meant for not only the person who lay ill or dying, but themselves. It's not so different today.
