Individuals attending this session will:
     
    Examine multiple perspectives of grief and response to losses

    CEU Survey - Christian Parrish Takes the Gun (Supaman)


    Christian Parrish Takes the Gun
    , known professionally as Supaman is an Apsáalooke rapper and fancy war dancerr who grew up in Crow Agency, Montana.[1] 

    The child of parents who struggled with alcoholism, Supaman spent part of his childhood in foster care before being raised by his mother. He began DJing in the 90s after hearing a Litefoot song (with the two touring together in 1999),[2] In the fourth grade, Christian began dancing at powwows.[3] While in elementary school he began to write poetry and later began to rap.[1] He related to rap music because he felt he was going through the same issues that most artists were rapping about.[1] Taking the name 'Supaman' at the spur of the moment in a DJ competition,[1] Supaman began rapping in a more original style until he had a spiritual encounter that told him to live a better lifestyle and rap about more meaningful and inspirational topics. In the spiritual encounter he had, Supaman said his creator " let [him] know [he] was to do everything on [his] own."[1] 

    In 2003 Supaman founded the Native American hip-hop group Rezawrecktion,[4] whose first album (It's Time) won a Native American Music Award in 2005.[5] Since then, he has released four solo albums and received coverage and plaudits for the song Why? (featuring Acosia Red Elk).[6] In his hit track, Prayer Loop Song, Supaman utilizes various instruments including the drum and the ute all while beatboxing, rapping, and remixing different Native tracks.[7] His reasoning for the song and video was an audition tape for America's Got Talent.[1] Alongside rapping, he also tours schools, where he educates students about Native American history and culture.[8] He performed live on MTV as part of a show featuring new artists.[9] In 2013 his music and his fancy dancing skills were featured on a float for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.[3] One thing Supaman is known for is performing his music while wearing his traditional fancy dance outfit. He started doing this by accident when he was forced to do his musical performance right after he had performed a fancy dance while at a show for a school.[10] Supaman typically fuses spiritual concepts and ideas with his rap music.[11] Supaman creates all of his albums by himself, doing everything from singing and writing the music to creating and designing the covers.[12] Since releasing Gorilla in 2013 he has been featured on different songs and is set to release “Illuminatives” which features songs available from his viral videos. 

    Supaman is featured, with MAG7, in the Taboo video "Stand Up / Stand N Rock #NoDAPL" which won an award for MTV Video Music Award for Best Video with a Social Message in 2017.[13] He has also been nominated for and received multiple awards for his work as a DJ, singer, and rapper, and a fancy dancer including the Tuney Award which he won seven times, the Aboriginal Peoples Music Choice Award, and the North America Indigenous Music Award.[14] Supaman was a contributor to the Standing Rock protest in which the Taboo song he is featured in is about. During the movement, Supaman visited Standing Rock frequently to perform and speak.[9] 

    In 2018 Supaman released “Illuminatives” which features songs select songs from his viral videos.

  • Don Coyhis Speaker image
    Don Coyhis President @ White Bison, Inc.
    Don Coyhis, Mohican Nation, is the Founder of White Bison, Inc., an American Indian non-profit organization, located in Colorado Springs, CO.

    Don originally set out to raise awareness and treat alcoholism among Indian youth on the reservations.

    After studying the underlying causes of alcoholism, White Bison's mission expanded to include drug addiction, dysfunctional families and relationships, and suicide prevention.

    From this, the Wellbriety Movement was born.

    The teachings of Wellbriety go beyond being sober to include thriving in the community and being balanced emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

    Over the past 34 years, Don has developed a series of culturally based programs to address recovery and treatment, youth prevention and treatment, programs for healthy families, and healing from unresolved grief and traumatic loss due to intergenerational trauma.

    These programs are designed help with all facets of family healing and have been implemented throughout the U.S. and Canada.

    A Wellbriety Approach to Healing: The Four Directions

    In May of 1995, the Sacred Hoop of 100 Eagle Feathers was born from a vision given to Mr. Don Coyhis, Mohican Nation.

    Shortly thereafter, a group of Elders from the 4 directions gathered to put 4 powers in the Hoop to assist in the Healing Time, The powers to Forgive the Unforgivable, the powers of Unity, the Powers of Healing and the Power of Hope.

    During this presentation, Don will connect each of the Four Gifts of the Sacred Hoop to the concept of Faith and demonstrate how these gifts can work through a community development process to create a Healing Forest for Native communities.

    Objectives:

    1. To demonstrate how the Four Gifts of the Sacred Hoop can be used to deepen our Faith within our Cultures.

    2. To explain the role of these gifts and of Faith in bringing healing to Indigenous People.

    3. To explain the concept and processes of Wellbriety, and how it can impact healing in a community.

    Through many danger, toils and snares

    We have already come

    T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
