I’m Robert ‘Standing Eagle’ Marshall, MSgt, USAF Combat Photojournalist, Retired. I served from Vietnam Era-to-Desert Storm and I’m a Black Native American (Cherokee & Seminole heritage — Lumbee tribe).

I am a Reiki Master and Instructor, practices and teaches courses in Personal Empowerment, Shamanism, and Magick; performing a variety of energy-based holistic healing techniques including the ancient practices of “Laying-On-Of-Crystals/Stones”, chakra balancing and body energy field aligning and cleansing.

My ceremonial duties as a shaman and medicine man — I guess I’d be called the tribal “reverend” — started when I was just 4-years-old when my Elders witnessed me “crossing over” a tribal member who was dying, that event started my training to become a medicine man. My other duty has been that of a “Prayer Pipe Carrier” for the people since I was 15-years-old.
