Posted: 10/24/2005 3:09:17 AM | Aanii! Boozhoo! 
I am inviting all of my brothers and sisters to step up to the mic and introduce yourselves to the entire POF family and tell everyone here who you are and what great nation you are from.
Allow me to start us off here. I am a very proud Ojibway man, originally from the Saugeen rez here in Ontario. I'm 37, single, live in Toronto, work both as a professional musician and during the day as a court reporter. It would be wonderful if we could all introduce ourselves and offer our hands in friendship to everyone on the site and maybe even have a little virtual teaching circle for folks from all walks of life to participate in and learn about us and our culture. I am assuming since there are threads asking all Aussie folks to introduce themselves, that this is okay.
Meegwetch! | |

My name is Waya Digadili and I am Part Cherokee, Melungeon and Mik-Mak. It is good to see family on here and am Honored to be invited. My Cherokee Ancestors come from the Great Cherokee Nation south of Tennessee before the white man, before the Trail of Tears. The Great Tribe of the Mik-Mak come from the north of the Minnisota border on the Canadian side. The Melungeon people from research may go as far back as 2,000 bc. I am Honored to have this Blood and Live with Mother Earth as best I can. My Totem and Spirit guide is the Wolf. This was shown to me when I was 12 years old. I have lived with the Seminole Tribes of the Everglades in Florida for 5 years back in the middle 80's. My Cherokee name Waya Digadili means Wolf Eyes.
I have spoken too much and will now bow out. Again, Blessed Be to All. | |

yep im 5/8ths cherokee, my great great grandmother pounded our native language into me young, and NOW i can't hardly remember it, just like spanish, throughout college i was fluent, 5 years after the fact, I cant even order at Taco Bell.
My family originated just northeast of Tennessee, before the trail of tears... the wolf clan
we have members in the DeerClan (not to be confused with the white deer clan)

Posted: 10/31/2005 10:37:55 AM | Being a woman,I have been asked on more than one occassion by guys if I had any Indian
in me. and would a like some more!
Seriously though, There is cree from my fathers side.As my mother(who is english/irish)
tells it--my great,great grandfather came from Scotland and married an Indian Princess.
I don't know much more than that and would like to learn more.Even though it doesn't seem much,and I was mostly raised in the city(away from any natives), I never felt quite right about my place here. I study many life issues and try to find how we all can fit together
peacefully. | |

Posted: 11/12/2005 12:16:19 PM | I am pleased to have the opportunity to speak up in this forum. I hope not to dishonor anyone since I am only 1/4 native indian blood. My grandfather was a proud sheshaskewan....he practiced strong medicine. I feel proud to be from his lineage. However, my spirit is 100% from this lineage. Our tribe was known as wearing the "horns of power" and "black face" . I do not know much more because our council is gone and very few come from my lineage...our people are somehow wiped out and not documented acccept by words from a few.... (I have actually met 2 from my lineage at various pow wows and they understood me- it was a big rush!!).
If anyone would like to talk to me or make a new friend - I am here and anxious to meet you. Living in Alabama - you probably know I am very isolated. My grandfather chose to raise me understanding his ways and his spirit.
By the way - I am a women's traditional cloth dancer and both of my daughters are Butterfly dancers. We attend as many pow wows and share the spirit much as we can....
Take care. blessings to you all, Michelle
(My grandfather named me "Lost little Magpie Always Working") | |

Posted: 11/22/2005 7:02:39 PM | Hello all, I have just recently joined. And I was cruising through the forums here, when I came across this thread. I just had to stop and say hi to everyone. I am 1/5 cheerokee and part sioux as well. I love to learn about my native american heritage, and as you can prob tell by my name the wolf is my totem animal. I hope to be able to pass on all the knowledge I gain to my daughter. Again a big hello to you all, and hope you all have a great day.

Posted: 11/23/2005 7:14:18 PM | Just checking out the forums and came across this one. I'm originally from British Columbia and not sure what band I'm from, my mother was white and father Native. Never knew them.

Posted: 11/25/2005 1:34:07 PM | Yes, shocking as it may look...I am status.
My father Oneida, band in Ontario and my mom is Irish/Scottish. I've only been to his a reserve a few times because of the distance so don't know my family on that side too well.

Maternal Great Grandmother was Cherokee, named Arizona. She married a good Irishman.
Someone way back on paternal side was also native, although the facts differ depending on who you talk to.
Nice to meet all of you - wish I could share more of your ancestry. | |

1/64 th of me says hello to you.
The other 63/64 of me feels left out
well, thats kind of how i feel. while i know for an almost 100% fact that 6 generations of "white people" are in my family, i have always felt a strong, um, feeling i quess that part of me, somewhere was native.
i hope thats not lame, or offensive. and it would be cool to meet more people. all they would have to be is respectful.
thanks | |

Posted: 1/17/2006 7:35:14 AM | Pave Shev to all! (Good day)! I am Cheyenne and Cherokee on my mothers side, and Italian/Dutch/Montauk on my fathers side. My great uncle was Wolfrobe of the Cheyenne nation,(still havent figured out if it was paternal or maternal, he had six wives! ), he was a "sub-chief",(insert white language influence here,LOL), and leader of the "Hohta Metadia",(Dog Men). My great grandmother was full blood Cherokee from OK. and we still have the "allotment" land there. The Montauk on my fathers side? Well, its so far back there as to be barely recognizable. It is my understanding through the oral history that most of the "main land" tribes,(Eastern and Plains), can trace thier roots back to the Ojibway,(Assiniboine)? Correct astronaut? At the risk of offending some, I will not discuss "animal spirits or guides" or ceromonies, especially on-line. You did a good thing starting this thread astro, I didnt realize thier were so many "people" here. And for you onemoreastronaut I say, Meegwetch! Walk in peace all, Lakelazy,(Allen Wolfrobe/Wolf) | |
