Remember the massacre at the falls?

They did what they had to do in order to survive, in order to exist for as long as they could without being tortured or killed. I thank the ancestors for all the sacrifice they suffered for our existance here today! Good thought to think on list regarding admitting one's true racial identity. Would you try to pass yourself off as something else, if you could? Or would you not? blessings, turtle/
