Artuk, Who Did All Forbidden Things - Inuit A MAN whose name was Artuk had buried his wife, but refused to remain aloof from doings which those who have been busied with the dead are forbidden to share. He said he did not hold by such old customs. Some of his fellow-villagers were at work cutting up frozen meat for food. After watching them for a while as they worked at the meat with their knives, he took a stone axe and hacked at the meat, saying: "That is the way to cut up meat." And this he did although it was forbidden. And on the same day he went out on to the ice and took off his inner coat to shake it, and this he did although it was forbidden. Also he went up on to an iceberg and drank water which the sun had melted there, knowing well that this was likewise forbidden. And all these things he did in scorn of that which his fellows believed. For he said it was all lies. But one day when he was starting out with his sledge, fear came upon him, and he dared not go alone. And as his son would not go with him willingly, he took him, and bound him to the uprights of the sledge, and carried him so. He never returned alive. Late in the evening, his daughter heard in the air the mocking laughter of two spirits. And she knew at once that they were laughing so that she might know how her father had been punished for his ill-doing. On the following day, many sledges went out to search for Artuk. And they found him, far out on the ice, torn to pieces, as is the way with those whom the spirits have punished for refusing to observe the customs of their forefathers. And the son, who was bound to the sledge, had not been touched, but he had died of fright. Eskimo Folk-Tales, collected by Knud Rasmussen, translated and edited by W.

Well looks like Blue Panther is top poster here. No one else has any thing else to say. Ok Well all Cherokee were Oregonians before any thing else. Think on that <G> Dan

Oregonian?!? I went to Friendship Indiana last weekend for the NMRA event and flea market, and was pleased to see that the chief honored on the 2009 event t-shirts happened to be Tahchee, son of Skyugo, or "Dutch" as he was often called. It is my understanding that he and his family moved west across the Missisippi when he was about five years of age. This was quite a bit before most Cherokee headed that way. He fought against the Osage, yet, he also lived among them for quite some time and made several friends there. Anybody got anything to add to that? Any gatherings or pow wows of note coming up? Also, been in the forest lately....spend most of my summer barring work there, saw that the wild gooseberries will be ready middle of next week here (Indiana).

No, they do not! For those of us who are just discovering how to trace our heritage (and succeeding!, it brings us closer to our heritage and a feeling of home. It rekindles the feelings inside ourselves that we received from our grandmothers but never had the connections or documentations to fully identify. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 5:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Cherokee Circle] Members see dan i told you the stories kill chat groups. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan M." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 11:16 AM Subject: Re: [Cherokee Circle] Members > Well looks like Blue Panther is top poster here. > No one else has any thing else to say. > > Ok > Well all Cherokee were Oregonians before any thing else. > Think on that <G> > Dan > ======*====== > List archives > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=cherokee > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message > ======*====== List archives http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=cherokee ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
