It is in reference to the 'extinct' Atakapas Indian culture, and their attempt to be recognized as being active. _http://beaumontenterprise.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18792974&BRD=2287&PAG=461& dept_id=512588&rfi=6_ (http://beaumontenterprise.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18792974&BRD=2287&PAG=461&dept_id=512588&rfi=6) _The Beaumont Enterprise - Lost tribe says their culture is still alive_ (http://beaumontenterprise.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18792974&BRD=2287&PAG=461&dept _id=512588&rfi=6) Cindy (mailto:LALAFAYE-L@rootsweb.com) "Perhaps there are no stars in the sky, but rather, openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy." --Eskimo legend ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
