PIC-TURES

Very interesting Is there a story about these sculptures?

Thank you very much. I like stories about native americans
Have a nice day!

interesting statue

Then wee-chi-tah means "Up to my butt"?
Just kiddin.
You didn't mention it is Comanche for "waist deep".
I was stranded there on the outskirts once when a friend blew up the engine in his Harley. I stayed at some redneck bar while he went for a truck to get the bike backe to Dallas.
Scariest two days I ever spent

Thanks, interesting! How do you know Comanche, Cwbywz?

Good page Sarah How did you do for changing the background?

Yes I know I made a tutorial for those wants to change their banner. But I don't know how to change the background yet
Please my Angel

Yes Don't be affraid my dearest Angel I'm one angel too (I hope).
I will remove all the lines which are refered to the font family also.
Thank you very much
You can if you want, remove those posts. Or if I made a new tutorial on my blog, I will mention you for the help you provided

@claude I don't speak any of the native languages but my great grand mother was half Cherokee. Those times really fascinated me. You would be really surprised how many landmarks follow the native tribe's names for them.
@angel You are from Texas then?

I don't realy know all about Native Americans, I just read an excellent book from Forrest Carter: The Education of Little Tree. He was a Cherokee I think

Ah, You know that book is fiction don't you?
He is a good writer no doubt. I love some of his books about the south but I question what he really knows of the Cherokee. They were treated pretty bad, I just think he is trying to ride on the coat tails of "The Trail of Tears". You want true native american stuff, read about that.

Yes but I think it is a fiction based on Forrest Carter's real childhood.
Do you know a good book about "The Trail of Tears"? I have just read some basic articles.
I also read a nice book (in French) about words of wisdom from Native Americans in 1900:

Thank you Rick

I like accounts from varified sources and not just a historical view of things so... my favorite would be After the Trail of Tears By William G. McLoughlin.
I googled it and see it is still in print.
It is historically acurate. It is like finding studies on the Civil War. It is hard to find books that tell the real truth. It is like they say, The winners right the history books.
Oh and Carter did try to pass that off as an autobiography but later people found out he was about 30 years off from the history he wrote about. New printings do state that it is fiction.

OK Thanks. I found that book only in English:

Rick, do you know Chief Arvol Looking Horse? And the story of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf?
Have a look there: http://www.wolakota.org/
I would like to have your advice about (if you have time for that).
Have a good day

I really rather not comment other than say I think that in this case the calf is being exploited. It was born on a ranch that produces meat.
Good luck for them!
If you stop and think about all the religions, why wouldn't the native Indian beliefs be among the most creditable.
They worship our Mother Earth. The thing that gives us life.
At one time there were two white bison. this is the first born in almost a hundred years.
To the natives, this is comparable to the earth being visited by an angel.
I wonder why this animal isn't given to the tribe, or sold to them per pound like they would normally would it it hadn't been white.
I think one of the best things to happen to the natives is the casinos and gambling on reservations. That is as long as we can keep the white people from running them and taking over half the profits.
Have you ever seen the things that that money can do for a tribe?
It is amazing. They still hold true to the "council". They build their own schools, all the people of the tribes own there own land and houses.
It is a shame that modern society is encroaching on them.
Well, you asked my advice. I guess you can tell that I think the indians got a raw deal. We give more money to Columbian politians each year than we do to Native Americans.
