The location of the Natural Way has been moved this Friday, December, 14. It will be located on the PSU campus in the Vanport Room (Room #338), Smith Center, 1825 SW Broadway at Harrison. You will not find us at the Native American Student & Community Center.

Tyler Williams, born of the Dit ti dhat Nation, will appear on December 14 at The Natural Way: Indigenous Voices to share stories of his life’s journey. The Creator has gifted Tyler with a unique and positive perspective on life, and a special ability to communicate that to others.

Tyler was raised in Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. His people are traditionally hunters, fisherman, totem pole carvers and canoe builders. Like many of his peers, Tyler attended a government boarding school which educated him in the ways of the dominant culture, not allowing him to learn the ways and traditions of his own people. As an adult, he spent time in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.

At age 30, Tyler began to spend time with Brave Buffalo, a Lakota teacher. From this experience he learned and adopted Lakota traditions, and has followed Lakota spiritual ways for more than 30 years. Tyler is valued in his community as a speaker, teacher, and spiritual advisor. He is featured on two CDs, “The Circle” and “The Journey.”
