University Of There taught by june_uruTMP The Classes - Free. Held on the Second and Fourth Saturdays of each month; times subject to change. While I do have Lakota Sioux blood in me, I am not to be considered as an authority on Native Americans or their culture nor do I speak for them. I hold learning about these people's lifestyle and beliefs with the greatest of respect and try to share their traditional culture with others. I do not have any degrees for teaching but am a volunteer instructor as are most of the other staff in UOT in this virtual world of There. http://www.there.com The Subjects Covered in this Voice Required Course are: The Story of Fingernail Woman, my great great grandmother
