Shawn Stevens (Red Eagle) is an enrolled member of the Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohicans. He lives among his people, who are originally from the Hudson Valley, New York, but now reside in Bowler, Wisconsin. A spiritualist, musician, artist, historian, and sharer of knowledge, Shawn has been fulfilling his path journey for the past few decades by doing a variety of sharing in his people’s ancestral lands as well as the Midwest.
Shawn describes himself as a “Helper” not only to his people but to all. He explains that his spiritual path is to share the many things given to him for spiritual direction and purpose. He does not have nor will accept any titles such as “Medicine Man” or “Shaman.” Shawn is also a traditional Native American storyteller, drummer, dancer, singer, and flute player. He is an ordained minister of the Universal Church of Light and a certified facilitator of White Bison’s Mending Broken Hearts.
Shawn’s talk is free and open to the public; reservations are required as space is limited. Attendees are also invited to view the traveling Mohican Journey exhibition currently on display at Flying Deer.
