• 2018-11-25 November 25, 2018 – A Native American Thanksgiving Rev. Kristin Powell and Mark Tourtillott Rev. Kristin Powell welcomes Mark Turtelette, a Menominee, Ojibwe, and Ho-Chunk drummer and singer, back to Unity of Walnut Creek for a special Native American Heritage Month conversation exploring indigenous spirituality, prayer, and storytelling. Mark shares how Native prayer begins with gratitude rather than asking, how the Creator is understood as the great mystery, and how every person is born with all the gifts they need to succeed. Through the legend of Spirit Rock, sacred drumming, and reflections on forgiveness and warrior culture, this heartfelt dialogue reveals beautiful parallels between Native teachings and Unity principles while honoring the richness of indigenous traditions.
