thanks for sharing this story and information....my heart is heavy these days with the prejudice and the hate of other colors and cultures.....i watched Geronimo and wrote a poem afterwards...being Cherokee, Choctaw and Dutch.....where would i go if we had to go back to our homelands?????? i know what my choice would be....but would i really have one? now they are trying to take away trusted lands from the Native Americans....will it ever end? They say they want prejudice not to exist here in the States...really???? hmmmmm I look white..but have the facial structure of a Choctaw.....i have a heart of a American Native and since i was six i realized i did not believe like white people....i am proud to be all i am..but i sure feel like i do not have roots....we are having a hard time finding our Native American ancestors...very sad and heart breaking to me....will this ever end???? all because some person got to choose who was a part of their own tribe...our ancestors could be lost forever! i wished my whole life i was full blood indian....but at the same time i am proud of my dutch great grandpa who married a indian woman....so proud and proud that she married him We are ALL God's children....our Creator created all of us....for a purpose....it is hard for me to believe it was for hate and prejudice i will keep this post and reread it and forward it to relatives and friends who have no idea what our ancestors have gone through. be sure to read about the Five Nation bill trying to be passed to take away the trusted land of the Cherokee's...i got a email from the Chief....still and again trying to take away our land...... have a beautiful day Teressa and i am not talking about any posts on here ...i am talking in general....i live in a college town ...and know a full blood Lummi Indian man....he wears his hair like a Native American.....yes he stands out...PROUDLY..and i am PROUD to know him.....he has taught me alot....not all white people feel as the leaders of this country...too bad they represent us....makes me want to start a movement
