Shelli asked Weam Namou:

I'm confused in your biography where it says you "studied Sikkim". Does that mean you studied IN Sikkim, or that you studied the history of Sikkim? How did a Native American man come to be either living in Sikkim, or an expert on Sikkim?

Weam Namou Thank you for your question Shelli. My Native American teacher had lived with the Tibetan monks for 6 months and studied Sikkim. Tibetans began to settle in Sikkim in the 16th century and in 1642 a Tibetan king started a hereditary line of Sikkimese rulers that lasted until 1975. They passed on Tantric rituals to their followers.
