It could be
Wonderfalls which is about a girl who is cursed (blessed?) by the ability to communicate with, more be bossed around by, spirits who inhabit inanimate objects around her. The origin of the ability is tied to a Native American folk tale that's explained in the first episode, which may or may not be completely made up for the show, but aside that there isn't much else that ties the show to that culture.
If it's not that I have no idea really. More details would be helpful.
Nope, that wasn't it.
sad It was a show on ABC, I remember. But thanks, anyways! I might wanna watch "Wonderfalls."
