Mahinto, Wind Wolf Woman, a forth-generation American Indian medicine woman, was born an illegitimate half-breed into a world filled with hatred and bitter resentment between the red and white races. Accepted by neither and discriminated against by both, she experienced both the heights and the depths to which each race was capable of inflicting pain upon anyone that was different. Balanced on the razor's edge between the red and white worlds, her life has been neither ordinary nor common. As you read her book you may find her life to have been a hard walk, but it was these experiences that have prepared her for the fulfillment of her birth purpose, revealed to her during her first Vision Quest at age ten.
From that day forward, Wind Wolf Woman knew she would live to share the knowledge of the old ways and merge them with modern day thinking, thus forming a bridge that will bring all races together as one people. At fifteen, she ran away, to New York City and began charting the waters of the entertainment industry as an actress, singer, dancer and fashion model. She has performed throughout the world as a stage hypnotist and starred in a television series that was aired throughout the Southeastern seaboard. Over time, she entered the radio talk show arena with great success. Based out of Dallas, Texas and eventually syndicated, her show became the listener's choice for almost one-third of the United States from midnight to 6:00 a.m. Wind Wolf Woman has an uncanny kinship with the animal world. While still in her twenties, she bred and trained show dogs as well as raced trotters in the northeastern part of the country. To this day, her relationship with animals, wild or tame, is a cherished part of her life. Her life's journey has led her around the globe in search of spiritual knowledge and how it applies to everyday life. During her many travels she learned from indigenous people in different countries, always adding to the strong medicine foundation that she received from her loving grandmother, Dorkiah Old Person-Hoffman, a Sioux medicine woman who was respected and trusted by all who knew her. Mahinto has widened her studies, spending time to learn from the Maori tribes of New Zealand, the Aborigines of Australia, the Vudan belief system of the Caribbean, the Eskimos of the vast frozen tundra, the Islanders of the South Pacific, and the Indians of Central and South America, drinking the knowledge like sweet nectar, thirsting for more. Over the years her studies and travels slowly revealed that all indigenous cultures have a common thread - reverence for the earth, the sky, and the sacred mathematics of all life forces in Creator's great mysterious matrix of the universe. She continues to search for wisdom from the oldest teachings, blending it in into her original way of life. As a professional woman, Wind Wolf Woman believes knowledge comes from the integrity of truth. She has boldly marched into the male-dominated business world: From a fixed base flying operation in Chino, California, Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, she owned and operated flight centers, offering a flight training school, an air charter and crop dusting service. A natural offspring of her travels was the development of an import-export brokerage oil company, and a land lease brokerage firm while negotiating for major oil companies on Indian reservations. In the 1980's, Wind Wolf Woman returned to Las Vegas, where she became an investigative reporter and wrote for several newspapers. Whether posing as a bag lady to expose the problems of the homeless or interviewing Las Vegas high rollers whose fortunes depend on the flip of a card, she has always been embraced by those who do not easily trust strangers. Wind Wolf Woman lectures and has taught at several colleges and universities. She is a member of the National Speakers Association and also an Honorary Member of Parliament in two countries. During the Kennedy administration, she was instrumental in helping get water onto one southwestern reservation. She retained a waiver for the American Indian to negotiate their rights to their oil and mineral rights on reservation lands. Wind Wolf Woman has developed and trained seminars for large national and international corporations. She has also taught a release program in state and federal prison systems. To express a truth, you must accept that this 74-year-old woman has always lived outside the ordinary. Her inner hunger has created a need to explore her talents in many ways, to follow an inner conquest. Even today, this woman is still blazing a path to prove that a woman can do anything to which she sets her mind. Despite the nature and variety of her many achievements, Wind Wolf Woman continues to conduct Native American medicine studies throughout the world. Wind Wolf Woman presents her teachings through group and private instructions, tele-conference courses, and home study courses, which are available on CDs. |
