	Vision Quest
		In traditional Lakota culture the Hanblecheyapi (vision quest, literally "crying for a vision") is one of seven main rites.
		Vision quest preparations involve a time of fasting, the guidance of a tribal Medicine Man and sometimes ingestion of natural entheogens; this quest is undertaken for the first time in the early teenage years.
		In a vision quest, conditions are set up that allow the soul to move beyond the illusions of the little self and enter the unity of the inner whole.

	Native American Religion
		When it is time for a vision quest, the seeker brings a pipe to a holy man to ask for help and counsel.
		And generally some physical representation of the vision or message (feather, fur, rock) is collected and placed in the seeker's medicine bag to ensure the power of the vision would stay with the individual to remind, protect or guide him.
		Vision quests are not generally discussed openly, but sometimes the details come out long after, only to amaze and astound the listener of the tale.
