==History==

[[Shaman|Michael Twoyoungmen]]'s grandfather was once the Medicine Chief of the Sarcee Tribe. As a child [[Shaman|Michael]] scoffed at his grandfather's mystical old ways of living. [[Shaman|Michael]] decided to learn the white man's science rather than the magic his grandfather wished to teach him. Two days after his death, the Chief had a gift delivered to his grandson. The one who brought the gift to [[Shaman|Michael]] also gave him a message, not to open it until he "''Knows it is time''". After the death of his wife, and alienation of his daughter, [[Shaman|Michael]] had lived as a hermit for ten years, [[Shaman|Michael]] felt a call to open the mysterious package. Within the package was the skull of his grandfather, with the flesh boiled off, and a [[Shaman's Pouch|leather pouch]]. The spirit of his grandfather appeared and spoke to him, explaining the boiling of the skull was a process designed to delay his passage to "The Great Home". The spirit directed [[Shaman|Michael]] to withdraw a handful of pine needles from the [[Shaman's Pouch|leather pouch]], however when he tried to do so he could not. Michael's confidence in himself had been all but been destroyed ten years prior. His grandfather then lead him in a period of training, forging his mind, body and spirit to a near perfect state. Once more he bid [[Shaman|Michael]] to withdraw a handful of pine needles from the [[Shaman's Pouch|medicine pouch]]. [[Shaman|Michael]] now sure of himself, and having developed a new spiritual connection through his grandfather succeeded, and then became the new Shaman of the Sarcee people.

Later when [[Shaman|Michael]] had once more lost faith in himself, his grandfather aided in guiding him to discover a new spirituality and power.
