Tim “Dancing Red Hawk” McIntosh - Gigage
Tawodi Galisgidahu
I
am an Ordained Pastor and a nationally recognized Spiritual
Leader and Teacher of Cherokee Medicine. My grandfather was
raised as part of the Bird Clan on the Eastern Cherokee
reservation and was taken from his mother at a young age and
given to an adoptive white family.
I
am also Director of Elawei Ama Spiritual Resources and a
Spiritual Leader of the Earth Lodge Foundation in Wisconsin.
As a Chaplain and spiritual caregiver to those who are dying
for over 12 years in Hospice ministry, I have walked with over
5,000 men, women and children as they have journeyed through
their last days on Mother Earth, and worked with thousands of
family members through the grief process. With Clinical
Specialties in working with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and
Geriatric patients, I am a nationally Certified Dementia
Educator and Caregiver. I have designed and led my own unique
grief support groups and have developed a special program
utilized by the city of Chicago to assist the families of
Victims of Violent Crime. I currently serve as the Director of
Resident Services at a senior housing campus in Pewaukee ,
Wisconsin and as pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Great
Spirit, an urban Native American congregation in Milwaukee ,
Wisconsin.
As
a Pastoral Care Specialist, Hospice Caregiver, Cherokee
Spiritual Leader, Story-teller, Healer and Consultant, I
combine my Cherokee heritage, years of ongoing study with
Native American Medicine Elders, my experience as a parish
pastor and as a hospice chaplain to offer a unique perspective
on living, dying, and existing in this, our Circle of Life.
