I live in the Pickering area and have the time to learn, if someone has the time to teach !

Posted: 1/16/2007 10:23:03 AM | Remembering my first encounter with a Native American..
I was a boy 7 or 8 years old in a Group Home supervised by the Catholic Children's Aid in Toronto. In this home, as with most I was abused and bullied, by my own race.
But I remember the kindness shown to me by an Indian man with long white hair, who lived just down the street, in the St.Clair and Duffern Street area of Toronto. He had all kinds of model planes, books on planes, which when I visited him, he let me look at. He also always shared his candy with me when I visited. I never knew what became of him, but I hope Manitou smiled on his kindness and his spirit continues on in peace. Maybe when my time comes, I will meet him again and thank him for his kindness, which was welcome at a time when not many were kind to a frightened 8 year old boy. | |

I am Lakota and Cherokee with many white parts added as the push to take america from sea to shinning sea happened. I continue my search for truth and enjoy knowing all natives that can add to my quest for knowledge and understanding of all that makes what we are, no matter what our mix might be.
Enjoy......
Just my opinion.....   | |

To those of you trying to reconnect with your roots, it can be very difficult, don't give up. The page unturned may hold the information you search for. Reach out to people, they will help you in your search.

Cree/ Metis, raised traditionally off the land, Northern Alberta...a small village, between the Mighty Slave Lake and Wood Buffalo National Park; on a journey...sharing with the beautiful Syilx people!
Lineage stems from Chief Pa Pa st h is (sp?) band from Edmonton Area...is what I am told... still searchin more for my roots!!! :YAY: Can't wait to come home!
There is no such thing as an Indian Princess by the way, and you can't have an indian soul. - ITS IN THE BLOOD!!! You can have 1/8th, 1/4 1/2 and even be a full breed but what determines your heritage is if you LIVE BREATH TALK AND WALK the Life of your ancestors!
AND if you are white, and have been taught the traditional ways of a First Nations tribe/s...thanx for being supportive...THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN INDIAN THOUGH, seek pride in your culture too!
True Indian Names are given with a long ceremony...you earn it, it isn't just given to you.
Honor ALL cultures...that is the key. Great thread onemoreastronaut !!!
Mussi!
Peace love and frybread grease my brothers and sisters!  | |

Posted: 4/5/2007 8:35:08 PM | hey... am i doing this right???? Is this thing on? HA!
Well, either way... been on this site fer awhile, had yet to run into a forum this cool!
I have blood from the Oneida Nation -from above New York and also from southern Saskatchewan- Assiniboine-Sioux *both mixed with French on my father's side as well as Swedish/English/Irish on Mother's side... a real mutt (totalling a whopping 1/7th percent Native)... Funny thing is I got dragged into a sweat lodge (ran old school style by a Chippewa elder) at a young age and I've been traditional ever since.
*One lil' comment to mixed bloods: You could use your heritage as a neat fact to discuss over coffee and to buy "authentic" -ly made in China pipes and drums, OR you could become invested in native autonomy, treaty rights, healthcare and righting the general injustice that has been inflicted upon this or that nation that you identify with. You could tap into the power of standing up and fighting for what is true and right.
This blog seems to have gone really positive. Really cool! | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 11:30:17 AM | | I just had to be a part of this. Not specifically "Native American" but Peruvian of native indian origin. My Peruvian grandmother still speaks Quechua, the language of the Incas and lives as farmer in the highlands of Peru. And I like Native Americans. I see myself in them. | |
