Posted: 5/9/2006 3:07:46 AM | Posting again just because it so cool to see all the posts!! Status, Oneida Six Nations.
I'd actually be interested in corresponding with anyone from the Grand River Oneida reserve. My dad is from there and I still have family there but don't know them very well and they are all older (not very internet savvy).
My dad was stationed in Nova Scotia in the navy and he rarely ever returned home. I have only met my relatives a few times on that side of the family. It would be nice to know what its like there now. I haven't been there since I was a kid. | |

Posted: 5/9/2006 11:36:15 PM | Hey everyone, I'm only 1/8th Cherokee but I've always been very proud of that part of my heritage. I don't know nearly as much as I'd like about that side of my family history due to some..."estrangement"..:) It's cool though to see a thread like this somewhere, every time I've seen a Native American forum topic it usually devolves into a bickering of who's tribe is better or "Comp me something at your casino" jokes, but then again I wouldn't mind being hooked up with a casino myself, so I guess I can't complain too much. :) Anyways, back to it, I am 26, single and I live in Orange County, CA(and no it's not like the tv show:)). I do alot of different work, my main source of income is in the cad/cam field, but I write for a few IT/Security firms,(yes I am aware that my grammar here is probably not convincing:)), and I have my little promoting team, we put on some clubs/raves every so often. Ok I've rambled enough for one post. :)
I'd be very interested in talking to anyone who is Cherokee or of any tribe that might be able to open my eyes to a little more info on where I come from. :)

Posted: 5/10/2006 6:12:13 AM | | Hello, i'm not first nations but the culture has had a huge impact on my life. Thr native elders in their calm, wise way have made such an influence on my life by guiding me to turn my will over to the Creator. It saddens me to see so many who have fallen off the Red Road when there is such strong support at their fingertips. The sweatlodge has been instrumental in showing me the direction that I must take. So to the native elders, the culture and to all who live their life guided by the Red Road I show my gratuity for your culture. | |

Posted: 5/19/2006 5:13:23 PM | Osiyo. Mixed Cherokee(Blind Savannah Band through my grandfather, but family is family), Celt and maybe some Iroquois from my ggranny's line. Used to go to stomps in TX, haven't been to any since I moved to AR. Is anyone going to the powwow at Mammoth Spring, AR, this weekend, or the one at Eureka Springs, AR, next month? Don't know if I'll be able to make Red Earth but would like to. I work as a Mental Health Counselor at at women's prison (and use some of the techniques of my ancestors) and am raising a teenage granddaughter.

It makes me sad to hear that you are unable to find a Native woman to 'keep up with your ambitions and sense of direciton'. After all there are SO many of us out here that are very successful, ambitious and beautiful. Maybe you aren't looking hard enough or maybe We see you comin' an' duck....LOL  
Anyways, good luck in your search. | |

Posted: 5/26/2006 11:01:31 AM | Hi Everyone,
Teehee...I forgot to introduce myself (new to POF) and this forum, thanks to whomever started this, I think it's awesome.
As my name implie my lineage includes cree (from Sask.) and I am also Carrier/Wet'Suwet'En from Northern B.C. I strongly believe in the abilities of our Native peoples, especially our young people. I was not raised on reserve and neither are my children. We are urbanized, but we are Brown and Proud, we have strong believe in our culture and ourselves.
By the way we are travelling from B.C. to Manitoba this summer and are hoping to hit some Pow wows along the way...anybody know of a website for listings or of any along or near Transcan #1, we can hit....Any info would be appreciated. I hope to hear from sombody soon.
I hope you take care of yourself no matter what nation you are from....we are all realted to the same Creator!!

Posted: 6/4/2006 8:21:21 PM | | Hey! Great grandma was Cree, but I was raised white. In a family of blondes I got the dark hair eyes and darker skin. They said I was a throwback. So they threw me back! So I decided to honour my ancient Celtic, French,Irish, and ancient NA ancestry equally. I am not at war with myself, but it sure seems I could be! I grew up in Northern Ontario but moved South now. Great to see so many nations gathered. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 8:32:55 AM | | Halito! I'm another blonde Native American. My grandmother was Choctaw and I have family from the Pearl River in Mississippi, across to Oklahoma and down to South Texas. My indian name is "Looks like woman" Don't ask me, I think my great grandmother got it out of a romance novel, but says I'm never quite what you see when you look at me. My spirit guide is a red tailed hawk. I remember wonderful evenings sitting at my elders feet listening to stories of our ancestors. Todays family just do not understand that closeness. Most of them have moved on to the happy land, but I remembered to tell my daughter as many of the stories told to me that I could remember. | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 7:47:24 AM | Hello! I don't mean to dishonour or disrespect this thread by posting.
I'm a French Canadian, but I admire your ways and have tried to follow/honour the Red Road for about 7 years now. I've been an active member of a community near Perth, Ontario (five hour drive for me) for the last 5 years where I've been trying to learn. Our elder is Cree, although some of our teachings were Lakota.
Can't do much about my genetics (hope you don't mind a white guy posting), but my spirit wants to walk a good path ... | |

| Beautiful Indigenous People!
Posted: 6/28/2006 7:36:53 PM | Hey everyone! My friend encouraged me to join this for fun and friendships so I thought I would! I was beginning to think there weren't ANY Aboriginal/First Nations/Native Americans in here. I'm Coast Salish with a mix of Nez Perce and Hawaiian Flip. I currently work as a counselor to First Nations youth. I'm proud to be involved in my culture as a pow wow dancer and singer. I work in advocacy, usually calling in or writing a letter to the editor and as a last result organizing or speaking at rallies - pro-indigenous. I love being indigenous to this continent and I have total pride in my culture.
There.. that's my introduction. Hychka Siem and a siem na sieh ya! | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 8:50:39 PM | Evening Everyone,
Ms. Angel from a small reserve, Haisla decent 100%, we are celebrating this weekend. One of the totem poles that was taken from our territory. The G’psgolox Totem was removed from Misk’usa in 1927, and shipped to Stockholm, Sweden, where it remained until March, 2006.
In March, 2006, thirteen members of the Haisla Nation including members of the Totem Pole Committee and Chiefs, Elders and leaders travelled to Sweden to witness the raising of the replacement pole and the sending off of the original G’psgolox Totem to Vancouver, Canada.
The pole arrived in Vancouver on April 26, 2006 where it will be temporarily housed at the UBC Museum of Anthropology. In May 2006, the Haisla will host a fundraising gala in Vancouver, BC to assist with the required capital to build the pole’s permanent home, Q’adilas.
The pole’s final journey home is planned for July 1, 2006, when the community of Kitamaat will celebrate this Homecoming event.
This is a huge event of taking back our cultural items that was taken without our consent, so it is going to be a very emotional time for our people, this is a day where we take back a piece of our history, to show our younger generation. | |
