Your right Asiene, NA’s are proud people. Its more than just reading books to help them research that people need. They need those who may have the information to share it. Many NA languages, heritages, etc have been lost & are being lost because Pride interfers with sharing. Its hard for those who truly want to learn because those who can teach/share won’t.

Family lores most of the time are just that. Not all lores are the complete truth. Some of the important information has been lost in the story being brought down through the generations. And then again some of it has been embellished. I recently finally after 20 years of searching found a story that has been past down in my family... Most of what I knew was correct in the story. It was a newspaper article written about my great great Grandfather and his family in Comanche Territory in Montague Co., Texas. You do have to keep looking to see if you can find some truth in it. I really thought it was a made up story because I had been looking for it in Illinois and not Texas.....You have to get your facts right before you know where to look. As far as people not sharing....It could be they really don't know it all and have said something about it and got blasted by others. I have had that done also. You can only take a family story for what it is....It is a lore and until you prove it is true that is what it is....A Lore.
