About Harley SwiftDeer Reagan
Harley SwiftDeer Reagan has led a very full and adventuresome life. He served in Vietnam and, in 1994, he was inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame in honor of his contribution within that field. He also pursued studies in psychology, philosophy and religion. All of this rich experience and study is integrated into SwiftDeer's style and content of how he carries the Sweet Medicine SunDance Wheels and Keys.
His primary teacher in the Sweet Medicine SunDance Path was the late Grandfather Tom "Two Bears" Wilson, Navajo Medicine Man and President of the Navajo/Dineh Native American Church.
In July of 1992, SwiftDeer was seated and sealed as a Twisted Hairs elder on the Council. His primary responsibility is to introduce whatever teachings the Council deems necessary for people to wake up and step into sobriety.
The Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society (DTMMS) was founded in 1986 by Harley SwiftDeer Reagan for the purpose of gathering, translating and teaching the Wheels and Keys of the Sweet Medicine SunDance (SMSD) Path of Turtle Island. Mandated and guided by the Twisted Hairs Metis Medicine Society Council of Elders, the Deer Tribe also provides training and guidance for apprentices working the "gateway" process of personal growth and spiritual awakening in this Path.
