Hey Chief!


("Hey, little man, how are you." "Little man")
State Department, common phrases could be offensive

Terrorism war on terror!
Rule of Thumb!
Handicap!
Going Dutch!
Black and Tan!
Hold down the Fort!
This might insult a Plains Indian?
He left out at least two, two that draws my attention every time I see or hear them!
Every year with this "Indian" on the east coast of this country dresses up like a Plains Indian, jumps on a Plains Indian painted horse, with a Plains Indian Spear, rushes throughout a football field, while the people in the stands wave a Plains Indian Tomahawk, this makes my blood curl!
Hey Chief!
("Hey, little man, how are you." "Little man")
(chief is the lowest offices in the navy or a leader of a Plains Indian tribe.
It is also a worker in a traditional tribe from the east coast of Indian country.

(chief is the lowest offices in the navy or a leader of a Plains Indian tribe).
It is also a worker in a traditional tribe from the east coast of Indian country.
While this is true, this is very important to remember, once that job was finished the person is no longer that chief, people over look this truth from the ancestors!
I am not a chief, I was a 2nd class boatswain's mate in the navy, I am a Sachem of my people)!

Rule of Thumb!
And "rule of thumb," he wrote, can according to women's activists refer "to an antiquated law, whereby the width of a husband's thumb was the legal size of a switch or rod allowed to beat his wife."
Further, he explained, "If her bruises were not larger than the width of his thumb, the husband could not be brought to court to answer for his behavior because he had not violated the 'rule of thumb.'"
Handicap!
"handicap," as some disability advocates "believe this term is rooted in a correlation between a disabled individual and a beggar, who had to beg with a cap in his or her hand because of the inability to maintain employment."
Going Dutch!
"Going Dutch," as a "negative stereotype portraying the Dutch as cheap."
Black and Tan!
"Black and Tan" sneaker without realizing the phrase once referred to a group "that committed atrocities against Irish civilians."
Hold down the Fort!
"To 'hold down the fort' originally meant to watch and protect against the vicious Native American intruders. In the territories of the West, Army soldiers or settlers saw the 'fort' as their refuge from their perceived 'enemy,' the stereotypical 'savage' Native American tribes."
Terrorism war on terror!

Opinion of Jesus Christ and religion


Welcome to

Belize City Belize, Central America
Looking for
what is your opinion of Jesus Christ and religion

This blogger believes in the supreme Being that taught not to worship a religion, worship your Creator "GOD"!

Why do ( Traditional Native Americans) shunned all religion?

Two "MEN" that I respect the most in life!
Why " Jesus Christ", shun religion every day
As a native American Spiritual Elder I have felt the need to constantly study not only my ancestors belief, also study the beliefs of many other religions.
Many times one can find a close relationship be the supreme being we know as Father Sky ( Traditional Eastern Woodland New England Area) sent to Mother Earth by Creator (God)to teach the correct way to live and please Creator and the son of the Christian God sent to teach the correct way to live to please God!The Jewish religion believes that their God (Yahweh) sent many to teach the correct way to please their God, I am not qualified to be an attorney or a judge, I am still in the learning stage and plan on staying there until I cross to home however, I believe that one main teacher was God the son (Father Sky).
I also believe that Allah ( God) is a loving god not a  forcing killer of the people!
So if  Yahweh, Allah, God and Creator are the same Supreme Being,
WHATS THE PROBLEM?

Pictures of Connecticut Native Americans


Welcome to
Wallingford Connecticut
to my old discontinued website
looking for pictures of Connecticut Native Americans?
I know your problem, after a life time of being involved with our people around the New England area.
These last few years of “so called Woodland New England powwows” are a stretch of the ancestors imagination when called Connecticut natives!
My webmaster and I have been hard at work writing blogger posting while trying to keep the old traditional ways alive for you to remember.

Smudging and Circle


People are still showing up to my old discontinued website
Mohican/Pequot/Mohegan first Village.
On the Uncasvillage index page.
The majority are looking for information about the Native American way of
Circle or Smudging
Even though I no longer use the site and tripod refuses to take it down for me, it has good information and another way for you to find what you may be looking for.
 But, if you still have questions feel free to ask.
It's pretty simple if you think about it, Creator has created everything in a circle so it should be no surprise to learn that Creators people do everything with circles.
As for smudging, people have written about this with many words in many ways for many years.
Smudging, no matter how you do it or what you are using to do it, it is just another way of getting yourself into a mindset for prayer with Creator, that simple.
Many of our people smudge something while walking in a circle around it, this may be a way of covering both smudging and circle and is OK, as long as you also remember that the reason for doing this is for a nice quiet time talk with Creator, or whatever you wish to call your Supreme Being!
The only sticky point old traditional native people have with the circles is that after the late 70's early 80's outsiders to our area have changed almost everything concerning our circles!

What's all the fuss about, this one is a Shawnee


Neil Armstrong's legacy What's all the fuss about!
Neil Armstrong, Modest, Quiet, Dignity, Grace, Brainy, Proud, Nerves of steel, from Wapakoneta Ohio, sounds like a normal traditional American Native (the ancestors tell us that this one is a Shawnee)!
Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, who died Saturday at age 82, remained modest to the end about being the first man to walk on the moon.
Many Americans wished the northwest Ohio native, who lived in the Cincinnati area in recent years, would have stepped into the limelight more often. He reminded us that heroes can display quiet dignity and grace, even at the center of something as monumental as the Cold War space race with the Soviet Union.
The brainy Wapakoneta farm boy made this country proud as he climbed down the Eagle's ladder on July 20, 1969. Mr. Armstrong, a former Navy fighter pilot, had shown nerves of steel when he landed the space module on the Sea of Tranquility as it was running out of fuel.
Now as then, Mr. Armstrong reminded us what Americans can do in science and technology -- or almost anything else, for that matter -- when they have a clear sense of purpose and unity. That's a lesson for the nation, and the world, to continue to heed for generations.
