KÁRUK ELDERS' COUNCIL - Charlie "Red Hawk" Thom, Káruk medicine man

Northern California Káruk medicine man Charlie "Red Hawk" Thom (1928-2013) filmed in his home, talks about the wisdom of and need for an Elders' Council in the Káruk Tribe. Born in Quartz Valley, in far northern California, Charlie Thom was orphaned when he was a young boy, and raised by his elders to be a medicine man. Known as a notorious "coyote", for over 40 years Charlie was a widely respected ceremonial leader, knowledgable culture bearer, sacred site protector and environmental advocate. Thousands of people from religions and cultures around the world fondly remember Charlie's humor, wisdom, and his healing purification sweat lodge ceremonies. This video is part of a series that features Káruk and other Northern California Klamath River Native culture bearers and cultural representatives. Inspired by Charlie and filmed by John Veltri, the series - and more information - may be seen on www.walking-backwards.com
