Boy does this bring back old
wounds from past memories.
How many hundreds of times, or
in my case thousands, did you go to powwows in the east and see dancers dressed
in European cloth and stating that this is their Regalia?
REALLY?
To think about how many times
people from the Plains Indian area would show at our gatherings in the east and
carefully explain to us and our white European friends,
"why
we cannot be real full bloods"!
Our skin is not dark enough,
some of us have light color hair, some even blonde!
Remember that my grandfather,
father and I along with some really traditional people, both men and women from
all around the eastern tribes were the heads of this group of people being told
that we could not be real natives?
Today is
(Vindication
Day)
Scientist through DNA is
showing that Light Skin and Blonde Hair may
have, in fact, started in this country, in the Dakota's Area!
So, I am guessing that all of
those intruders into our gatherings from the west are, in fact, not Full
Bloods?
Because they have dark skin
and black hair!
Native Americans, Europeans
share close ties: research http://www.chinapost.com.tw/life/discover/2013/11/23/394287/Native-Americans.htm
Is
it possible that two distinct peoples crossed the land bridge separately and
met up in North America?
Several tribes living in what
is now the United States, most notably the Mandan tribe that is native to the
Dakotas, had strikingly European-looking features, including blond hair, when
they were first met by French traders in the 18th century.
Graf said the new finding
shows that those “European” traits are actually native to those tribes.
“What this study is telling us
is that those European-looking signatures, those features, came with them over
the land bridge from Siberia, and were present in people who lived in Siberia
24,000 years ago,” she said.
The migration paths that may
have brought people across the Bering Strait Land Bridge.
