I opened up the Cherokee Phoenix to learn we had lost you. Crosslin was a good friend to my great grandma Maggie. Im proud to say I’m no longer a Christian and I now follow the old ways. Wado for setting me on a better path. You are missed. donadagohvi

This man and his message really spoke to me. I'm new to this channel. I came here via Appalachia's Homestead, Patara Marlow.

Thank you, I know very little of my grandmother's people, my family. And now I learn in this time of darkness.

Nodding in agreement tears welling up in my eyes. Bless you Crosslin Smith.

I adore Mr Smith!!! He’s the BEST. His message is so needed right now.❤️

In my family this gift is given to those who have received it from living wise in their lives. They kept the old ways even though they might seem alone, they live close to the creator. ❤ It amazes me how many people choose to live without understanding.

The "old ways" are the best ways.

Beautiful. I have always felt, as a spiritual, but not traditional native, that our legacy as the 1st Peoples here, that our legacy was of the spirit and the relationship we have with that universal life force in all things. I wanted to know the Creator, not just believe. I wanted to know the Truth. I hope this man, surely, has an apprentice/disciple or two. This is the Treasure of the 1st Peoples!

This lifted my spirit.

Listening to him speak at the beginning made me tear up. They took so much from us.

My grandmother that i never had a chance to meet was of the Cherokee tribe. I yearn a connection with the earth. The empty hole that I feel in daily life is great. I pray to be one with all that our glorious Creator has provided.

Beautiful! Please keep sharing & teaching! xo

[denisefrickey]

What a beautiful message, and one that speaks to my heart. My mentor in energy healing and detecting what is wrong with a person was a Cherokee Healer, and she did much to improve my own spiritual connection to all that is our creation.

[laynesimons]

You are amazing. What you have to say makes more sense than anything I have ever been taught. Wado from the bottom of my heart. I believe in the old ways
