I truly feel indigenous! it is a very different feeling and a period of adjustment to get used to. All rules and regulations are different. Once people get to know you though, they actually begin treating you like a human being! hey, we are not that bad after all, nothing like T.V., but they still expect us to have the fish and fireworks during the summer!
Why did I move? I could not stand seeing my relatives destroying themselves anymore, I could not fix the problem while living in the community due to the stress, now I have the time to think and still be able to give my input to add to the healing process.
I can never forget my indigenous ways that I was taught though! Those ways have made us very special and our input is very valuable to the surrounding communities.
Welcome! We are very interested in creating a loving community that is connected. There are many fine relatives here. Thanks for starting this and reaching out.
Thank you for making me feel welcome. I am very greatful for being raised and taught the ways of my ancestors on how to survive. There is still so much to learn and so much to teach so that a rich culture does not become exstinct, it is an honor to be able to share my visions as well as my teachings.
Sometimes we need to help ourselves first. When loved ones destroy for themselves it drains us, it's like pouring out fresh water into a dirty well. As you gather strength and purify yourself you will have lots to offer, let it take the time it takes. Connect with others that have done the same for feedback and to get a boost and new ideas. Hold your head high!
Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.

If you are of good heart, you could always choose to be a living testimony.. A living testimony is a noble cause for when we walk as a living testimony we open up the path for more people to see a people in their sacred walk, and with the opening of the heart of man comes more people trying to restore what has been lost... some people greet the day with sage facing the sun.. If someone did that regardless of where they lived and chose to be a living testimony more hearts would awaken within the soul, more hearts holding sacred means there comes growth...
well hi Ms Ada, I hope you find beauty on your path.
Hi Ada! I am wondering how things are going for you now that you have had some time in your small non-tribal community? I hope this community has been able to receive you well and open to learning from you and the tribal ways! Does this community remember to gift you and bless your path? With peace and love, Susan

Ms Ada, your wisdom and knowledge is needed now more than ever before.I can well understand why your brothers and sisters on the reservation are having such a hard time.Look at what has happened to this sacred land in the space of just 300 years or so.Perhaps when you have the strength you can find a way to help them....blessings...
