@kiekie84 it was written that by the end all of the history of our grandfathers's would be wiped from history....but only a few PPL still alive who work on deer hide....still have calenders in museums....have faith, and in this journey you need to pray for your ancestors'...and if need be...they'll lead you to knowing the truth.....Good luck and Peace!

I have listened to the music of Robbie Robertson for many years and the quality and feel of the songs continues to amaze me. After all these years I continue to find peace here.

I have no idea what she looks like how tall she is or what color her eyes are all I know is that in mist of the drums and the dancing inside my heart you can still hear her cry.... a cry to be found....... thank you for this... tear only say what the heart is feelings and these words are spoken through my tears may God bless you all.... thank you

but not completely because though I don't know about my also passed away grandmother on weather or not she was native i mean probably not but who knows.. maybe right? I'm not really sure and I don't know if I ever will be sure still I wish I knew but let me tell you though the native girl in me had faded over the years weather I am native or not these songs and anything native really always brings her back

[kiekie84]

the culture is still strong but sadly it is not what it use to be sadly a lot of it has been destroyed by greed hate fear and so much more and what's worse is that this place inside my heart that ran through my veins this place that carried and held a possibly part native girl was destroyed as well that is... when I learned that my grandfather who is passed and who everyone thought might have been native american was really from englend and so it is that the native little girl in me slipped away

he other large picture was of a woman standing next to a white painted horse and behind her was the open plans her hair was long and flowed in the wind I also had native rattles for baby's and different other things as well like native vase and such you see I longed for this place but was never able to find it and it was only when I got older that I realized what had happened it was in my older years that I realized this "place" these native lands had been lost...
