Hi Myrna

My GreatGrandMother was full blood Indian. don't know the tribe , My father told me . but I guess I did not pay any attention then. wish I would of. She was French Candian something tribe.Can't find her records any were . all I can find is she lived with her Grandparents.I have worked on Family History for 7 years all the way back to 1700. So I have looked for her. got pictures of her and my Grandfather and GreadGrandfather with her.

My Great Grandfather was also 100% Native American. He moved North to Virginia and married a white woman, took the Jones name and was a farmer. I always knew my Grandmother was half Cherokee ! I don't know what tribe or exactly where, but assume he originally was in the Georgia area and left when he was young to escape persecution and death literally. My mother had the gorgeous dark hair and skin of native american Indian. And I am 1/8 Native American ...

Hi Phil,

Your post is wonderful, I love it so much. I never knew this about the feather:"To wear or to hold the Eagle Feather causes our Creator to take immediate notice. With the Eagle Feather the Creator is honored in the highest"
I love it, that to me is worship in the highest to the Creator God.
This site just keeps getting better and better and because I have such great friends to help me out.

Jill gave me this web site some weeks ago and I have tried to figure how I was going to do it. So here goes.

Indigenous means from the Earth. In researching efforts, if something in nature is titled "mysterious" or cannot be explained, then it most likely can be linked to Africa. When researching, become familiar with root words. Topics are disguised and may be hidden within the meaning of words. So it makes things easier if you look up every word using a dictionary or thesaurus. Using books for research is good--especially earlier books with a copyright from 50 -100 years ago before terms and topics were changed or became outdated. The library catalog is helpful. Researchers say to try the databases that link to scholarly journals. What you will find is that scholarly journals reinforce a thought or process that has been instilled within the psyche of a person. The truth hides behind the term "scholarly" or "peer reviewed." One scholar reinforces another scholar's beliefs or research that seems to be the same thing "warmed over" again--instilling mistruths. The following is a great example. Most researchers will say that during Biblical times Egypt was inhabited by the Caucasian Race. If you do the research, you will find that Egypt was not invaded by Rome until 300 BC. Also, Ethiopia and Egypt are used interchangeably in the Bible. Most Americans are familiar with the Biblical Creationist Theory and the following verse from Genesis.

"And the Lord FORMED MAN of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7)

The field of physical anthropology is a little more than 100 years old. In 1804, the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, sent Lewis and Clark on expeditions into Missouri and then an overland expedition to the Pacific. Lewis and Clark were accompanied by what history books have titled (enslaved African--Toussaint Charbonneauas) and his wife Sacajawea of the Snake Tribe. In 1805 it is recorded in Lapham's Quarterly (Lewis and Clark Journals), "The Inds were much astonished at my black servant." In some accounts, it is recorded Lewis and Clark needed an interpreter to communicate with the Natives more than they needed somebody to carry their bags. Why did Lewis and Clark need a "Black servant slave" to communicate with the "Indians" (Natives)? The Snake Tribe (1890) looks very black in color if you look closely. The same story is akin to the story of the Egyptian baby Moses who was hidden by his mother Jochabed. She placed the baby in a basket and set him adrift on the Nile River so that he would not be one of the male children ordered by the Pharaoh slaughtered. Apparently baby Moses did not stand out or look any different from other inhabitants of the land. What this says is that the Hebrew and Egyptians must have looked alike because Moses was able to blend in, live in, and grow up in the Pharaoh's castle.

Hi Karen,

Hey lady, it is so good to see you here and I am so sorry you did not get the information from your parents about your heritage. I wish I would have paid attention to my mother, she could remember about her family and my dad's family. I remember one time I ask daddy about one of his relatives, and he said "I don't know, ask your mother>" She knew too. At least you have some Native in you. my native is Irish and English. It doesn't matter anyhow because we all are on this planet and God loves each one of use the same. Now that is good news.
Please come back again.

Hi Linda,

Thanks for sharing about your family. You said your mom had the beautiful hair that the natives have. I just love their hair, I have always loved dark hair. I had mine black at one time, I look better with lighter hair. Too much Irish I guess.

You mention you like the Native American wedding, I thought that is the coolest wedding, a lot of meaning.

Come back again and bring a friend.
Hope you like the music, I just love this
