Welcome to my Indian section of my Webpage.
A friend wrote this to me:
"We do not always listen to the voices of the past-and even when we close our ears and our hearts-they still remain with us. But you are a wise man--and once again you are listening to the voices of our people-you are feeling their power again...and this is good the blood line is strong my friend. Many spirits walk within you.....to give you aid.. the forefathers are there to guide and to help. You have heard them whisper and know that you are never alone. You are on your way back and for this I am happy...you are no longer deaf for you can hear you are no longer numb for you can feel and your spirit is no longer ice over--it is hot and blazing."
The Roots of Character
Those who preserve Their Integrity remain unshaken by the Storms of Daily Life. They do not stir like Leaves on a Tree or follow the Herd where it Runs. In their mind remains the Ideal attitude and conduct of Living. This is not given to them by others. It is Their Roots....it is a Strength that exists deep within Them.

First People
This is a legend about the first people and how corn was introduced to them. There was a young man who had been searching for food. He was very lonely and became discouraged when he could not find anything to eat, he went to sleep. When he awoke, he saw a beautiful woman with the hair of golden silk watching him. As he spoke to her she floated away from him. Finally the lonely young man begged her not to leave and she spoke. She promised to stay with him forever if he would do as she said. First she took him to a field of dry grass and taught him how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together and then he was to burn the grasses. That night he was instructed to take her silken hair and pull her over the charred earth, an act which she insisted would help his people. He did so and the next morning the two were gone, but where she had been dragged where new green plants emerging from the black earth. The golden silk in the ears of the corn are reminders that the pale haired woman did not forget them.
For the Indians they were here on this wonderful land before us, they worked the land grew food from the rich soil. Made they homes in the forest cutting trees to make homes as well to make room for more trees to grows. They killed for the meat and hides, for the Indians didn't kill just to kill they wasted little if none at all.
In each Tribe there was a Shaman for they had the Power and the Spirits, to guide and help the Leaders of each Nation or Tribe.

immaculately conceived by a

the Apache people and his mother

womanhood.
~Chief Plenty-Coups, Crow~
"A few more passing suns will see us here no more, and our dust and bones will mingle with these same prairies. I see, as in a vision, the dying spark of our council fires, the ashes cold and white. I see no longer the curling smoke rising from our lodge poles. I hear no longer the songs of the women as they prepare the meal. The antelope have gone; the buffalo wallows are empty. Only the wail of the coyote is heard. The white man's medicine is stronger than ours; his iron horse rushes over the buffalo trail. We are like birds with a broken wing.My heart is cold within me. My eyes are growing dim - I am old..."
