I am Gradually Weaning myself off Facebook

I am Gradually Weaning myself off Facebook
You may or may not have noticed
that I started
weeding out my Facebook Friends List.

If I accidentally removed you,

please forgive and allow me to correct the mistake?

Out of those many followers, only about a 'Bakers Dozen', ask questions or comment.

It might be that most are just looking for numbers of followers or just wish to sponge information.

Also

It would seem to me that some companies do not know or maybe do not care about the

"First People of this Land."

And

Do not know or just do not care about the decedents of those ancestors?

Proof would be, I was not allowed to call the site by just what it is in the language of those very ancestors.

"Teaching the Spiritual knowledge of the people in the elders own words!"

(Shechaim Ohjieshan)!

I wonder if a Japanese were ever bounced from a site?

Nature’s Reflections

Nature’s Reflections – Florida’s Live Oak
Category:
One of the most majestic trees of the South
 
The huge old Florida live oaks
(Quercus virginiana)
draped in Spanish moss,
are among the most magnificently beautiful trees. Standing forty to fifty feet in height, they grow in a variety of soils. These long-lived, pest-free trees are among our most valuable and historic shade trees. The Spanish moss and resurrection ferns grow on live oak branches but are not harmful to the trees. Loved by some and disliked by others, these three plants have historically grown together in harmony.

Many of the largest live oaks are actually registered and thought to be more than two hundred years old. As a native hardwood, the live oak ranks the heaviest – weighing 55 pounds per cubic foot when air dry (75 pounds per cubic foot, fresh weight). These trees are known for their resistance to disease and incredible density. Periodic pruning helps to decrease the tremendous weight of the branches and keeps the tree from splitting under its own weight.

Today, the live oak is a prized shade tree. In past centuries, the trees were used to build naval ships. In 1828, the United States set aside 1,300 acres of land in the Florida Panhandle known as the Naval Live Oaks, which is now part of the National Park Service. Among the ships constructed from live oaks were the revolutionary privateer the Hancock, “Old Ironsides” herself – USS Constitution, and the USS Constellation, built in the 1790s. The wood was also used for: cart hubs, axles, screws and cogs of mill wheels, waterwheels and pilings. The wood is attractive for use as furniture or flooring, but proves to be too hard to work and finish easily.

When planting, leave a lot of room for growth. The key is not to plant them too close together, or in areas likely to suffer road, building or power line construction.

In January–February, live oaks shed their leaves when the old leaves are actually pushed off by the new growth. Acorns mature in September through October, average 390 per pound and germinate soon after falling. Acorns are favored by all kinds of wildlife and are of great nutritional value to many birds and mammals.

Answering two of my long time friend/followers.


Answering two of my long time friend/followers.

Did you edit your name today on Face Book?
No?
Why not?

The English, French, Polish, German, Spanish, Russian and every other country on Mother Earth, are never hassled because of a name.

However, the 'First People in Our Land', always have to change our name to suit our 'Conquering Government'
Why is this do you suppose?
One word answer.
(Treaties)!
Or the fear of!

The Casino Indians are on the Warpath.

Guess one should not call it as one sees it while on the net.

Many of the "Indians" throughout Indian Country these days are Government controlled Casino Indians, now living in a Nation.

Because the "Fault-Fact is.

It will never be
a Nation to Nation Anything!

If you do not believe this, try going against this government and see how fast your casino and nation disappears.

Or

This 'complaining person'
might be a
'President Hillary Clinton'
Hater.
One must use your Christian name on Facebook,
what if you are not a Christian?

What if you are an atheist, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh
or
proud to be
saved by the "Blood from the Cross of Jesus?"

Whatever

I am always going to teach from the teaching knowledge
of our ancestor
somewhere all of the time.

Indians voted for a "Swashbuckler"?

How many Indians
voted on
November 8th 2016
for this
"Swashbuckler"?

Thousands from what I have seem!
Notice the word
"Indian"?
Deepest apologies to my friends from India.
I did not say Natives or first people!
"How do you like him now"?

Trump called Andrew Jackson

“A swashbuckler.”

The Cherokees called him

“Indian killer.”

By Deneen L. Brown
The Washington Post


WASHINGTON -
Donald Trump has a portrait of Andrew Jackson
hanging by his desk in the Oval Office.
On Monday,
in an interview with
Salena Zito,
the 45th president
 
lauded the seventh president,
calling Jackson
“a swashbuckler”
who could have
prevented the Civil War.
The Cherokees had a different name for Jackson.

They called him
“Indian killer.”
The Creek called him
“Sharp Knife.”

On May 28, 1830, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act,
which Native Americans say
was a form of legalized ethnic cleansing.

The act forced more than 60,000 Native Americans
from their lands in the Southwest United States,

clearing the way for white pioneers.
Native Americans were forced
to walk hundreds of miles
to resettle
west of the
Mississippi River.
Historians believe
more than 15,000 died
on the difficult journey.
