Where is Leonard Peltier?

A New Experiance!

Hi Folks.

This past weekend, I was a vendor at the Dighton, MA powwow. For the first time ever, I chose to wear my native Mohawk regalia while vending. I was amazed at how many other Native American Elder's, dressed in native regalia, entered my vending area to acknowledge my presence and to find out who I was, and get a glimpse of my heritage/ancestory! To all that attended this event, I thank you for your presence! If you were one of the people that engaged me in lengthy conversation, I can only tell you that I tremendously enjoyed our encounter! To those of you I gave out my email address, I welcome anything that you may throw at me, regarding Native American's! You're continued comments are imporant to me! I have this personal need to continue the awareness of my ancestors! I will never, ever tell you something that isn't actually historically correct. So, if you're searching your family tree and you think I may be able to assist you! Please, do not hesitate to contact me! I will tell you this. The Cherokee of North Carolina have a huge Native American Genology Data Base, only overtaken by the Navaho's which is by far the largest Native American data base available!

To all that view this blog, many thanks!

The more injustices I find against my native american bretheren, the more I'm impelled to rebel against the American Government! They give us Sovereign rights and rule and then they invade our reservations and reserves. They provide us with assisance that keep us in poverty, and they provide us with free food that causes premature death from heart attack and diabetes! We as Native Americans need to unite as one entity and pool our resources to create a united  front to beat back the US Government from our Sovereign Lands! We need to stop riding ponies against Abrams A1 Tanks expecting to win.  I'm just one native american that's fed up with the bullshit and promises of the US Govenment!  I'd like to see an alliance built to undertake the strengthening of our peoples!         Edited on 7-10-07  I'm reminded by a reader of this blog that war is never a good thing. And I agree, however, if there's 200 tribal councils, each one has it's own agenda! If those 200 tribal councils spoke with a united voice, perhaps, just perhaps, the US Government may sit up and take notice. Change is never an easy undertaking. Neither is altering one's ways to walk the Red Road!

How ironic is it that the US Government has helicopters named Apache and Blackhawk? The same helicopters that are utilized everytime the federal government raids a native american reservation! Pine Ridge in South Dakota is no stranger to those helicopters. Just ask the industrial hemp growers at Pine Ridge! Native Americans need to wisely pool their resources for the  protection of their Sovereign Nations and put the United States Government on notice!

Indian in Congress

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other.
He says to the waiter, "Want coffee."

The waiter says, "Sure, Chief, coming right up."  He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee. The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter every where,  then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns. He has  his shotgun in one hand pulling  another male buffalo with the other. He  walks up to the counter and says to the waiter, "Want coffee."

The  waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess from  yesterday.  What was all that about, anyway?"

The Indian smiles and proudly  says, "Training for upper management position in United States Congress: Come  in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day."
