Biography
I am an Indigenous Native American elder. My English name is Patricia Anne Davis and my Dineh ceremonial name translates to peacemaker. I am born of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw-Chahta; and born to the Taa chii nii clan of the Navajo/Dineh Nation. My maternal grandparents are Chahta and my paternal grandparents are the kii yaa aanii clan of the Dineh. My late father provided forty years of healing service to three generations of Native people. I am a diagnostician and practitioner by tribal ancestry and initiation. I translate Dineh blessingway ceremonial teaching from creation stories and oral tradition into wellness principles and design training within the of the natural order context. I use Indigenous science as a concept from the literature to define a distinction between an Affirmative Thinking System and a Eurocentric Dualistic Inverse Thinking System. I designed a contemporary cognitive ceremonial change process called (c)lovecurrency embassy sacred circle ceremony:
• Inclusive of race and religion
