​We believe in miracles; such as cures, healings, prophecies, visions, Wyaykihn (personal revelations and visitations), the speaking in tongues and the interpretation of tongues, the translation of ancient languages, and so forth, and that it is the right of all people to heal and be healed without restriction from any earthly government, for Natural Medicine and Natural Modalities of Healing are gifts of the Creator... 10th Expression, Nemenhah Constitution - 2014.
