I have enjoyed getting my sprits lifted Thanks peace be with you. Aututmn Fall Fox

I am trying to trace my Cherokee and Comanche roots but most of my elder relatives had no birth records. Any suggestions would be welcome as I study the ways of the Grandfather. "SheofEverChangingWinds"

I have been assisting a friend in finding her roots. Your website has been most helpful.

Thanks for the recipes for Fry-Bread. I had a friend tell me that they are a secret recipe to the Fry Bread he sells at POW WOW's. Thanks to your site I now have plenty of recipes for the wonerful yummy fry bread.

best native site i have seen so far. keep up the good work.

Hi snow its been a long time since i have been able to share the fire your site is still wonderful say hi to the people for me peace prissyates

O'siyo Snow Owl,Thank you for allowing me to visit your home on the web. I found you whle surfing in Native American chat on this Christmas eve 2003 I found your site enlightening , wise , humorous, and a warm kind place to visit. Wado Peace and Blessings to you and yours.

I just found your website doing a search on pork green chili stew. I love this site! I've been looking for something like this for a long time and am tickled pink to find it! I'm a pagan that incorporates a lot of my indian ancestery into my rites, and this is just....like a wonderful Solstice gift! Thank you!

A welcome path, information for all, blessed by the Elders...

why isn there any flag of the chinook

I DEY BROTHER!

I forgot to add that my grandmother's maiden name was Rebecca Keyes and her husband's name was John Mitchell. There is evidence of them being married living in Arkansas in 1880, listing my grandmother and her siblings. But no evidence that she was native american.

First of all I want to say I respect your wishes for people to not send all the emails to you personally. Second of all, I am very excited about your site only because it might help me find my lost heritage. I know that I come from Native American heritage, but my great great grandmother did not get on the roll. Her name was Rebecca Keyes Mitchell. I can find her in the late 1860's census, but she is listed as white. I know for a fact that she was native American, and that she owned land in Arkansas. But I can find no record of her before this, she would have been born around 1820, could you please tell me is there a way I can track her? It's possible that she was born in Tennessee. My grandmother died last year and she was the last person that could give me any info. She remembers seeing pictures of her relatives dressed in Native American dress, but another relative got the pictures and I dont know what has happened to them. Please give me some info, my mom thinks they were Choctaw, but I was under the impression they were Chicasaw, but we really don't know.

I loved your site. very kool. Pictures were wonderfuly KOOL!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeaaahhhh i learned a great deal and i want thank you all who made this site. from Molly and Jenny

I am trying to get info on all the indian tribes that were here in Battle Ground Washington. Can anyone help me find info on Chief Umtuch? And more history on our town>,Ihave seen info from our town library,but all i could find was the Cheif was accidentley crossed over and not sure who did it.This will help me understand the Spirits i see in my town, and maybe i can help some cross to the light and rest in peace. My email is Psychic_WhiteSoul@yahoo.com ty for your time Blessings L&H

My mother lost a beaded doll that was given to her by her grandfather 55 years ago. The doll was about 1 and 1/2 inches tall and completely made from beads. Is it possible that I can have a similar doll made for her? Please let me know. Leigh Ann Larimer

PLEASE HELP!! I have been trying for 15 years to find the meaning of my name. I have looked everywhere and the only thing I know is that it is a Native American name or a South American name. The original spelling is Washita, but I have seen it also spelled Ouachita. Please help me know what my name means so that when I have my daughter, I can tell her or even name her after me. Thanks so much!!

Please keep me on the list of new info that comes up please.

I really enjoyed your site and will come back soon. thank you pam

Ya'at'eeh! I have read your Web Site enough! I assume your Lakota. Some parts of you web page is very beautiful.RosePhoto directed to your pages. I see your Sickness clearly. I dug in to your "Rantings" about Politics. I seen this kind of Anger Sickness in the Political Rooms on AOL. Seems most Bush supporters have this Sickness. I see a commen thread of intense Anger. I don't mean to be crule..but your Blindness may because you don't want to see. Anger is Blinding..take my word for it. You got alot of it in You. If you can view my web pages at: I am Growing Tree so See what life can be without the kind of Anger I see in you. Walk In beauty; Growing Tree

A really nice website.

This stuff is assome

Cool Site

I really enjoied all the various descriptions of native american society, religion, etc. I myself have made a 16 inch drum with a natural die of black walnut. My interest lies in many of the clothing and other ways and artifacts of native americans. I would like to see more on the clothing worn by native americans and on the tools used in there everyday life. I noticed that not many representations of the ways men clothed themselves was given here and of the tools made of bone and wood like the primitive bow. So far the site has a lot going for it but I would like to give you some links that I have found in my many long walks through ciber space. **(We do not allow links in the GuestBook-if you want to submit links-send them to the webmaster)**. Thanks for your time and I look forward to seeing many more additions to this site and in closing I agree many of those stone arrow heads are overpriced. thx.

In HIstory class, we do extra credit. Joseph Brandt was one of our people and

I find this web site fasinating . There is things I need to find out . And I hope I can get some well needed info from someone . I need to try to locate someone with knowledge of the Cherokee Nation . If you think you can help me ,i'd greatly appreciate it.

I recently lost someone very close to me and noticed that close to the time of the passing I had many crows around. I am trying to find out the meaning of crow and crow mother. (I think ravens and other black birds were also around.) If anyone knows where I can get more information, please send me an email. Thanks.

I'm looking up info for school. This site really helped. Thanks!!!!!

Can someone email me back with the Indian meaning of "Stone Fox"...Thank you. Jimtimpop@aol.com

i was just looking up aboriginal web sites for a grade in school! But keep up the good work!

This website is cool but you need more imformation.

outstanding website! I'll be sure to return

may your rivers always be tame.

I really love this website it give me a lot of great pictures from pow-wows. I also love the "rules", if people did all of those things at pow-wows they would go a lot smoother.

Siyo! I'm a member of the Chikamaka Cwy (aka Chickamauga) come check out our site. sgi!

I am the grandson of Jessie Brandt. 7th generation to Joseph.Its great to see he will always be remembered!Too bad our schools say what a great man Washington and Sullivan were, they were responsible formany Indian deaths.

hoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii THanks

haha

Ur site is amazing so well put together and well thought out very useful and helpful thanks you so very much for making it! :-)

i really like this.

i really like this.

I THOUGHT THIS SITE WAS VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER. I enjoyed looking at all the pictures and learned a lot about what each tribe does differently. I am a beader of many types of things and have found that these designs are not far from my own. I really like this site, smiling. I am currently working on a scared pipe pouch and was not sure how my tobacco pouch should look and your site has given me insight into how it should look or be to a certain degree. My designs are my own but thank you for letting me browse your site.

I am using your sight for a school report.It gives me most of the information I need.I'm going tell people about this sight for now on.I'm going to use this sight for the rest of my school reports. I'm going to tell my teacher about this web sight.I'm a fith grader so it rely helps.

I really like your site,I was wondering if you have anything on the WHITE BUFFALO? please send me a reply. THANK-YOU POLLY B.

Exceptional website. I will pass it on to my friends, who will find it to be very informative. Keep up the good work of educating and entertaining those who enter.

my 9 year old son Andrew is working on a project about tomahawks. we have had a difficult time finding any information other than aritfacts for sale. thank you for such an informative site. He is at this moment taking dried corn off the cob to soak, then string on to thread to decorate his (foam!) tomahawk. thank you again for your site and the pictures and stories!

loved the site, and hope to be more involed with my Native American roots trying to make connections now. My Great Grand Mother was full blooded Siksika , named Victoria Pearl Wray , raised in a foster Family in Arkansas in the early 1900's.

I think you should get the annoying menu bar off

I enjoyed my visit to your site very much. Very informative and easy to get around. I will be back. Lesley

Thank you for all the good information about a great people. I enjoyed all the comments from around the world and help us realize that there are many good people out there. God bless you all...

A very cool website with lots of information. I would recommed this site to a friend!!!

I think this is one best sites in the world!!

I had to do a report on native americans and at first I thougt it was going to be hard but then I found this website and found out that it made my project be easier and not as boring. Thanks for having this website it really helped me and it change my point of view towards NA subject, so now I don't Think there boring and I actually have an interest in this subject. Thanks -Roxana Cisneros-

I am a 4th grade teacher doing a unit on Native American Cultures. What I am looking for is information on the meaning and purposes that individual tribes have for the creation of mask, when they would use them and the traditions surrounding the tribal masks. This is NOT a Thanksgiving thing. We are exploring the differencec in tribal cultures and religions. The focus is on understanding how each tribe is a unique society with their own culture. Thanks for your time and I will be looking forward from hearing from you.

Thank-you

i really like your web site it helped me a lot on my nativestudie essay

I LIKE YOUR PICTURS

Your web site is one of the most beautiful I have encountered on the internet. It does create a great deal of enthusiam from the public, which can be somewhat harmful to the preservation of historic/prehistoric sites across the Americas. Having a small piece of the Earth and history can be very healing. Collecting ancient objects from the earth can be spiritualy dangerous and illegal. You may want to press this issue for the saftey of sacred lands and the people.

So, how do I create a shortcut when all right clicking gets is a silly advert for the guys who created it? I'd like to visit this page again to maybe buy some stuff. If I wanted to steal images I'd just copy them from cache. Dumb design!

i was wondering if you could send me any information on the either the snoqualmie, duwamish, or nisqually tribes. Preferably snoqualmie because i can't seem to find very much information on them. It is for an important school assignment. Thank you! -Lindsay

i don enter ezebo

this site was very usefull to the information that I needed thank you

First, What a beautiful Web Site ! It was well worthing browsing and enjoying the images. Second, I'm on a bit of a quest. I recently purchased a Blackfoot Assinaboine Dance Staff at a little shop in Hemet, Ca. The staff is leather and beaded and it is trimmed with white horse hair,leather strips, buffalo fur, elk hooves, french style bells and a molded eagle skull. It feels very special when I hold it and the sound made from the hooves and bells is delightful. I only know that it was created by an Blackfoot artist, who lives somewhere on the American/Canadian border. I would like to know who made it an more about him. If you could kindly help, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much and again, your site is very special. Best Regards, Donna Sherry Boggins

I want to know how to register as a native American Mohawk Indian? I was told that I should do this as I am at least 33% American Indian(Mohawk). My maternal grandmother was the Mohawk Chief's sister. Abe Casey was the Chief. Any help is greatly appreciated.

AHHH U NEED MORE INFO!! I NEED TO DO A PRODJECT N YUR NOT HELPING!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed reading the verious articales here. Exspecialy Snow owls rants. couldnt agree more. Keep up the good work. Wado. Donadagohvi, AiSv Nvwadohiyado

I love your website very much and going to order your catalog. Do you carry Native Anerican trade clothe dresses.

Thanks for a nice informational site..Looking for information on an Indian Chief named Bill Rock and who an artist might be around the turn of century that signs art work with TH on left of bust and names of Indians on right of Bust. These are deerskin paintings. I sent an email also for this information or lead to finding out. thanks. Deb

i think that this is a great website to learn about the navajo tribe

this is a really cool website

I believe native peoples have a great deal to give and the rest of NorthAmerica are realalizing your impartance to all of us if we want to grow . regards

This website is very educational. i have always been fasinated by the native american culture. this website captures you to dive deeper into their spirital way of living and their creative art making. thank you, and keep the good work up.

Thank you for this wonderful web site and all of the great words of wisdom

The art work is very beautiful! I enjoyed the website and its contents. Very well put together. Like to see more of the artist and their work on this webesite. Thanks

The ThunderBird brought me to your site, I was recently named South ThunderBird Women and was searching for a great example of art and your it. Well done my friend

coolc web site very neat with circles and everything keep on doing what your doing

1,269 more trips (puff puff) to 30,000 hehe

I understand how Snowwowl feels b/c I am blind, but I have someone read this to me. I have reached the 59th door in my life and I hope to reach more. I really enjoy what I hear in these stories. They really facenate me. Me and my grandkids come here alot almost 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Well I hope ya'll get some more good stories on here. Heya

I really enjoyed looking at your website! It os really cool. I love Native American people and the ways that they lived, and still live today!!! In art 2 we are doing Native American Sand Painting for the 3rd day. I think it is really cool!!! Well maybe ya'll should get some pictures of Sand Painting.

I would just like to state that I am a direct descendent of Satethieday born and raised in the traditional ways of my ancestiers. I like the article it had some "fact" that I was not aware of but on the other hand most of us believe that he did not commit sucide but was a victim of circumstance.

i like your web site it is just that i think the kkk was the best thing that happend to the usa and i wish i was alive to be in it back then well bye

cool site... aunidan i hope you found all that you were looking for....

Very interesting and very beautiful.

Aanii Anishnabe

dear Brother Snow,

I think that this is a very interesting but cool website. the thing that i was looking for was paintings of the thunderbird that i could print out so i could use it for my First Nations Class at Guildford Park Secondary School.

Mugu has nothing better to do than put nonsense in Guestbooks-he must like the site, he keeps coming back-Stone Woman

Thankyou for your assistance and your helpful information. I am doing research for an elderly family friend who is wanting to find out information on her native american history. Your site has at least given me a place to begin. Thankyou Jill

Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to create this website as it is somewhat of a shame that I have to resort to the internet to help my children do a project in "history" of native americans, as I should KNOW this information myself.

i love your site. its my favorite!!!!!!! i go on your site 24 hours a day!!!!

way totally awesome site man!

thats a spicy meatball!

I entered "Fool's Crow" into my search engine. I wanted to remember him, and hear his wisdom and way again. I had a teacher once who started me on my spiritual path, and connected me to the directions. I lost my way for awhile, and reading a book on Fool's Crow, helped me reconnect to the directions and remember my healing purpose in being here. I currently practice an Asian method of self healing, and healing others, but always include a prayer to Fool's Crow, thanking him for showing me my path again, reminding me of my relationship to the directions, and reinforcing the right way to work with the energy. Thank you for honoring him on this sight, and giving me this moment to remember, and pay respects again.

I very much enjoy receiving your literature, it is very interesting to read. It is a joy to know that there are Christian schools in our country such as St. Joseph. I would like either a catalog, or some kind of information from which I would be able to order some of your books. I decided they would make very good Christmas presents. That is, if it is possible for you to do that. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. My address: Diane L. Mruzik, 4297 County Road 635, Cape Girardeau, MO. 63701

Life has been enriched by my recent quest. Now on a rediscovery of the spirituality experiences of First peoples . My heart is full of appreciation, Aho!

my wife, evelyn, and i went to indian summerfest in milwaukee this september and loved every minute of it. i stuffed myself silly on the different frybreads that were there. i'm glad i found this site. we intend to try all the different recipes. the links are fantastic. keep up the good work.

While looking for background information for a project for my son's school I stumbled upon your very interesting, informative site. It is so well constructed and different that it was simply a joy to meander. Great site!

Well helloooooooooooooo ndns lululululululu just thought i'd say HI! ~$*-ALwaYs-BeVeRLY-*$~

I love your cool music One cool thang about it is i can rap to its weard beat

I am writing a fanfic on the TV Series on Dr. Quinn Medicine Woaman and wondered if I could copy some of your pictures just for my story. I plan to write about the Battle of Little Big Horn and am determined to make it as historically correct as possible. I appreciate all of the many websites where the truth is told and am very impressed with this website! Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this part of history with the rest of us! Please email me with your decision, I do appreciate the consideration! Regina

I thought it was good but you need to add how long the groupes have been around and the geoligical location the names of the differnt sub-groupes

I have some spear head that have been dated aleast 40,000 years old. But would like some more info, they range in size from 3in. to about 7in. Please email me if you can help me.

I love your website...I wish I could download the pictures that you have on it...they are so beautiful. I am writing bcause I have some Cherokee/Sioux heritage. I saw your website for "Nana"...we called my maternal grandmother by this name. What is ironic is my Grand Niece, Azure who will be 2 in March, calls here mother, my niece Erin, this name and my niece did not know where it came from and I told her I as well as her Mother, she and my son, her cousin, called her that name...I would love to receive more history on "Nana" from the Native American History...also, I resent the term "Indian Summer" why isn't it called Native American Summer or something else like end of Summer Heat Wave...thank you

VERY AWESOME WEB SITE!I LOVE YOU'R TOMAHAWKS.I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR MORE AUTHENTIC NATIVE AMERICAN DECOR FOR MY HOME.I WANTED TWO TOMAHAWKS ABOVE MY FIREPLACE,WHEN I FINALLY GET ONE!I DIDNT SEE ANY COUP STICKS OR PEACE PIPES THOUGH.DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES TOMAHAWKS?MY AUNT HAS A LITTLE DOLL,I'D SAY ABOUT 4' TALL,HE'S MADE OUT OF RABBIT FUR,DEER HIDE AND COPPER OR SOMETHING VERY NEAT,DO YOU KNOW OF ANY SITES THAT WOULD HAVE SOMETHING LIKE IAM DESCRIBING?THANK YOU FOR YOU'R TIME.

ALL,I CAN SAY IT'S GREAT/////////////

I am a long time collector of Pima and Apache baskets. Was surfing the net and found your site. Pictures are good, but no prices, nor descriptions, such as Mint, or damaged rim, etc. appreciate your limited vision, hope you have a sighted reader, need more info on two baskets identied as either of Pima or Western Apache origan. Pls respond when appropriate and thanks for your efforts.

this is a very informative web site i learned a few new things on here.

I need to research on the hadia

I enjoyed your site and want to use it as a resource for my students. HOwever, when I viewed it I freaked out a bit when I saw the owl. In many Native American cultures like mine (Apache) the owl is a messanger of death or bad things. I dont plan to come back to the site because it scared me. This is something you may want to consider if you are trying to work with native people. Are you Indian? Jennie

i like your pictures, very nice, like the music. thanks.

I am pleased to learn of all you have done to raise awareness of the Native Americans. I have begun to expand my horizons by borrowing Native American music CD's from the local library. I find the music soothing, it seems to speak to something inside of me. I am deeply saddened to learn of your vision problem, but please remember you still have your mind and your spirit. Those are what make you the person you are. My grandmothers vision deteriorated such that she could no longer read, but we still loved to have her visit as she was such an inspiration to us. She knew we loved to hear her stories and she always had a witty comment to make us laugh. Please carry on the work you have been so good at.

I love your site, the music is very nice. I always wondered about the shields and thier use. Thank you.

This is the best website ever

My brother has a small hatchet (about 7 inches in length) on it is inscribed "clicking hatchet" do you have any idea what this may be? He said it looks as though it may be something that would have been used by early settlers. I was wondering if it may be some sort of copy of a native american hatchet. Thank you Kellie A Jordan

i havent explored your web pages yet , but im sure its coooool! love, emma n.

Hi It is me again, Alexis, I have picked the mask I am going to do It is called Stonewalker I need the Native America Group, Location of the Native American Group Mask Title, Discription of the mask, and the Discription of the Native American group. Sincerely, Alexis F. P.S. Thank-you if you can send all this information for me I know It is unbelievable I just really need this or else I will not pass this semester for History and I need this to raise my grade up even though I have a B+ for my grade and an O for outstanding in citizenship. Thank-you

I want to get together with a teacher in sand painting to teach to the children and young youth the tradition and have an afterschool program for the arts. Please give me some information if you could. Love the site. Brenda

Fate has focused my interest in native american issues. My grandson lives on the pineridge reservation. Also an internet test that I took said that the representative that closest matched my views was Ben Whitehorse Campbell. I have no interest in religions that were created by prophets. I realize that there are areas where the native americans were more atuned to natures ways than our society has evolved to. Good job of recognizing the good in past and present native americans. James

I would like to tell you how very much I am enjoying this site. There is so much to look at and read. Thank you for taking the time to set up a wonderful site such as this. You all have done a wonderful job. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Sincerely, Betty Christian

this is a good web page

Hello, I don't have a comment(except that I'm glad this website is available), I really wanted to send an e-mail but I want to respect the Authors request to address it to the guestbook instead. My problem is that my Grandmother told me that her Grandmother was a Tackawanna (SP?) Indian and I have never found any information on this tribe. My Grandmother was very good about these things but I thought maybe I heard her wrong until I saw a Tackawanna Street in Northeast Philadelphia and I feel that I was being told that I didn't hear her wrong. Do you know anything about this tribe, do they use another name? They would have been in West Virgina around the turn of the century. Please let me know. I appreciate any information. Thank you.

i think that the music as you enter this site is excellent and it is a very interesting website and i would reccomend it to others.

Thank you very much for such a wonderful site. I am 51 and back in school studying to be an art teacher. This weekend I am teaching a practice lesson to a Sat. morning group of 2-4th graders. We are making paper mache masks and I am discussing Native American masks, we talked about African masks last week and in the following weeks we will discuss Asian and Central American/Mexican masks. Your site was a wonderful learning experience and I will pass on your website to my students. Thanks again, Colleen

When are we going to stand up?>

As a Marine S/Sgt in 1944, I had the pleasure of being a radio operation instructor for a platoon of Navajos at Camp Pendelton, Ca. I was with them for only one month but have had a long lifetime of great memories.

I LOVE THIS SITE.

thnx 4 helpin me wit my hmwk

I thought this website was really interesting!

I really like your website. I love Native American art and culture. I;m part indian myself of the Inuit tribe. I noticed that you don't have any information on this tribe. It would be a good adittion to your website i think. Also maybe you could have mor einformation about the history of the tribes and their ways of life and their art forms.

Thank you for putting this information on the internet so more people can get some knowledge of Native American culture, so many people know so little, it is very sad.

I teach 5th grade social studies and my class has a question about the "Tree of Peace". We would like to know if there is any correlation between there originally being five tribes in the Iroquois League and the characteristic five needles of the White Pine. If you are aware of a link betwwen the two we would love to receive an email confirming our hypothesis that the five needle bundle symbolized five tribes.

I am in grade 6 and am doing a project to research the sub arctic. My group needs information on the transportation and social structure of sub arctic. can you help?

I purchased a bear shield, that I think is old, but people who have looked at photos, made comments ranging from it is a "Brewer" replica, or a hippy creation from the 70's, and a Ute medicine man indicated it was a late 19th century Ute bear clan shield. He had a story to explain the images. Can anyone direct me to someone who can help me figure out what it is? Thanks Hank

your website is a very good website .The website helped me a lot on my reaserch.

Take pride in who you are and never take it for granted!

Also..."Thank you Snowwowl and ALL others responsible in the construction of this site and their contributions. I appreciate you all and this beautiful site.

Very educational to those of us who desire a better understanding of what it means for these people to be Native American. Those of us who respect difference between the cultures and who desire to see peace grow in the hearts of all peoples. What draws me near the Native American Peoples is their deep spirituality because I too am spiritual. I love nature and all creatures placed upon this earth.I feel that Native Americans can teach me so much, not that I wish to be or become Native American because I'll never be, I am who I am and respect who I am, but their ways are lessons to better understanding and I respect them for who they are...in my heart of hearts though, I am Native American...in my heart.:)

you guys have some very nice points,really like the dovetail

I am very proud of my Native American Heritage. I have been looking for Isaac Johnson. He was from Mississippi. He was a full-blooded Choctaw. He married a Susie Peters or Simpson. Any info would be appreciated!

Although Not of Native Blood; I have a strong Spirit of Native American being introduced to your ways in Vietnam by David Littlewolf, And i try to Conduct my life in honor of him and the Great spirit.

I haven't been able to read much on your website, but I will be. I am a grade 11 student and I have history project due sept. 29 2003. I had a choice of any Aboriginal group I wanted so I chose the Haida people. I read an article about them and they sounded interesting, in a good way of course. I have found some ancient information on them, but I was hoping to get some present info. I was also wanting to get in contact with a Haida person. If you know where this is possible please e-mail me. Thank you very much

My grandmother Alice west told me we were related to Gall. Is that true her mother was rose dogg and her father was Jerome Redcloud

I like this site but the one problem you have is you need more info on the masks. It would help with our school projects if you did! O_o;

Good masks but you need info about them

you need more info about the yukon yupiits

I needed a picture of a mask for school and I found a good one on this site but I also needed information about the mask and you didnt have any with it so I couldnt use it. Thanx

Heya! Enjoyed the beauty of your site. Mine are less refined and professional.(www.hamonhaus.com) Ciao, Bill

censored i hate this site!!!! ---(You are correct, this site is censored, this is a family site and it is obvious some cannot be trusted to respect that.-Stone Woman)

hi, this is a great site and i hope you can add more to it.

My site! I came here 4 a school report/project.

Are there classes that teach sand painting?

I saw some good kachina dolls and sculptures on your site. Anything Indian is refreshing and natural for me, and it was a natural event just to meet it.

very nice site! Just wanted to let you know that my daughter had to look up Native American weapons for school and we used your site. Very informative!

A nice website. Thank you for your thoughtful presentation of helpful material. Running Blue Moon Manco (Gretchen J. Manco)

who are you calling savage

12Sept.2003- I recently found a good black and white photo in my fathers Chilocco Indian School papers from 1911, the name on the reverse side of the 5x7 photo is "Hollow Horn Bear", he is mounted on a horse with headdress & furled flag with battle ribbons, several men are standing around with two soldiers in the background. The rider the subject of the photo certainly looks "Chief-Like" in appearance. Could this be the Chief Hollow Horn? The mounted rider has a large buckskin sack tied on the side of his horse that appears to have the same beaded design that appears in the photo of your website. My father is 93 years of age and is a Creek American Indian. I wonder if Chief Hollow Horn Bear's Tribe would like to have an enlarged copy of this photo? Apparently it was taken in Oklahoma at Chilocco Indian School circa 1911. Sincerely, M.E. Moore,Major(ret.)

Very informative and interesting,I'm always interested in Native American Culture.It has alot to offer the World.

My family are Blackfoot Indian, and I'd like to know more about my people. I think this site is very informational, just what we needed. thank-you,Dawn

Beautiful site and artwork. I am trying to find history on Quanna who was married to a chief of a tribe. The website I found is not available - any info I could relay to her great, great, great, great grandaughter who lives here in Boise and is a beautiful lady. Thank you for any help. I understand your vision challenge somewhat. My daughter was born with cortical blindness and see only 12 or so inches away. She is deaf as well - so we sign in her hand. Thanks for all your help

Thank you for all the info. The Ancient Homeland of the Aztecs is the present-day State of Utah. Circa 300 B.C., the Anasazi Indians of Utah were a Nahuatl speaking people like the Aztecs. Today, the descendants of the Aztecs are seeking historical recognition as Native Americans. Call (510) 582-3880 for more info.

This is a great site!! I am looking for instructions to make a native american skirt & shirt out of leather. If anyone can help me, please do!! I have never worked with leather before, so it has to be simple and easy. It has to be the 18th century style, plains or lake region. Thank you so much for any help I can receive. Walk with Nature!

Nice site I enjoyed it,I am Seneca Indian myself

I really love your web site and I'm going to tell all my family&friends all about it.

I was told as a child my Great Grand Mother was Indian, I have found she was Cherokee and her mother is buried in a Pawnee Cemetery beside a Chief. His name is not known to me. My Great Grandmothers name was Sara Isabelle Howard 11-3-1855 and her mother Lydia Ellan Peak 1833 to 1860. Very nice Web site

Thank you for this site. I found it most informative. I plan to go to Gallup for the powwow in '04 and the information I found here will be a great help to me. I want to honor the dancers and not offend. thank you again Gail Wolfe

Dear Brothers, I do not believe the Latin Based English Alphabet system is necessarily the best option for Orginal Americans. Assuming Sioux have not eveolved one of their own, below is a link to a modern alphabet used by 25% of Punjabi Indians ( India) which can be adapted to your grammer needs, by altering sounds and some rules to fit your language. Please consider and let me know. If their are other tribes that may make use of it,please pass on, and tell them to contact me for any assitence. Yours Faithfully R Dhillon Check Link: http://www.5abi.com/5ratan/

Tansi, As a cultural writer and photographer for the National Canadian newspaper Windspeaker, I would like to thank you for such an interesting and informantive site. The music is wonderful.

Thank you for providing all of this information. It has helped to answer a lot of questions...

In a few weeks I'll be driving two of my sisters and Mother to Arizona for a yearly poster placement. My youngest sister gave me my first experience in Native American culture before she disappeared 14 years ago in Phoenix. I have come to love the music and dance as much as she did. I was searching for sites that might list nightly dance and music on our way out. My sisters have never been, and I want them to see and hear the beauty also. I came across your site by accident. It is wonderful. Thank you. Jimmie Rice

You have a truly warm and inviting website. Take care and smile ~ S ~ In Gods Blessings,Nancy & Stephen

great

It is a beautiful and peaceful site. Thank You. The last few days I have been finding many feathers a day ranging from five to eleven. I am uncertain what type of feather it is? I am thinking that it is pigeo because I live in the city. However, I have not seen or heard any evidence of pigeons. Given the fact that I am working with animal totem reconnecting with my totems especially owls, I would appreciate if you or someone else can direct me to a web site or otherwise where I may find a way to determine what type of gift I am being blessed with. Have a peaceful and blessed evening.

I hope this email finds everyone healthy and happy. I wish to learn The Grandfather's Language Algonquin [with R-Dialect]- as this was the original language spoken by the Tankiteke Tribe of SouthWest CT, USA. Unfortunately, [akin to the history of all tribes,] due to territory disputes and such the Tankiteke's /Massebesic/Metoac were disbanded and melted into neighboring tribes and/or were grouped into the Wappinger Indians. I was born in Stamford, CT. originally Rippowam. An Elder I knew as a child from Pound Ridge, NY, encouraged me to seek out and feel my way through my life journey. I instead opted for a more modern way until now. I am married now and have three sons 8, 5 and 2 and feeling the need to be connected much more. Lately, I've come to a crossroads and I sincerely wish to educate myself and complete my personal journey- through recovery of tribal traditions, learning the language of Tankiteke Ancestors [I understand that, that specific dialect /language may be extinct, and my heart is very heavy with that thought], but I'm determined to learn the core/base Algonquin Language. am also searching my local area, for assistance. Although, to my knowledge, the majority of Native Americans that are accessible here, in southern eastern/western CT, are from the Pequot/Mohegan Tribes--I am happy for their success and wish only joyful light from one soul to another, they do not speak Algonquin R Dialect. There are a few Paugussett Indians in CT. and I am grateful for all they do to help educate and restore tribal traditions but I am finding it difficult to find someone who speaks fluently Algonquin. Any guidance you can share with me regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated. Maggie.

THIS SITE IS FANTASTIC SO GUYS BE COOOOOOOLLLLL.

WONDERFUL SITE - THANKS - NOT A BLEEDING HEART -- BUT A LIFE LONG STUDENT OF "AMERICAN HISTORY FROM THE NA POINT OF VIEW" STUDYING THE TRIBES AND SEARCHING FOR HISTORICAL TRUTH, KNOWING FULL WELL IT WONT BE FOUND IN A BOOK IN A LIBRARY.
