The basic idea is that a group of either high school friends or college students visit a real shaman to learn more about the tribe and their ways. The group agrees to participate in a coming-of-age ritual that results in young visitors transforming into their totem animals in order to learn a lesson (about love, trust, courage, friendship, generosity, humility, etc) in order to be transformed back.

As animals they are able to understand both animals and humans, but can only speak with other animals.

Is anybody interested? Would anybody who is familiar with native Americans be willing to guide and/or GM this roleplay?
