Thank-you for your visit.

P.S.

Did you know that some tribes east of the Mississippi river and maybe in your area, can hold ‘Sacred Ceremonies’ in hospitals, prisons, schools and such,

because Kinnick-Kinnick does not require fire?

I pray that this is the beginning

I pray to God that this is the

beginning of coming back?

This was about time

I was able to get this

monkey off of my back.

I hope and pray

that,

thanks to the women and the African American voters,

Alabama can finely do the same thing with their monkeys?

Congratulation Alabama!

Fifty six to one (56 to 1)

Before we start this blog post how about a little military story, sort of?

The year was 1962.

O.K. Enough!

I am no story teller!

The summer of Birmingham Alabama 1962

An innocent navy serviceman (yours truly), from New England where racism meant Indians!

As a school student in the teens I knew nothing about the following at the time.

Birmingham Campaign of 1963

http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/h-1358

One of by shipmates invited me to his home and with no plans for my leave,

I excepted.

He drove to a main road, unknown to me, and hit the gas, his car bounced a young girl to the curb.

Long story short, I heaved the keys out my window and him out his door.

After I finished with him and seeing that the girl was O.K.

I started back to the base.

A number of witnesses came to me and I hitched a ride form one of them.

I reported this to the officer of the deck and joined shipmates in the mess hall games of 5 and 9 and chess.

P.S.

The little girl was an African-American, along with all of the witnesses.

Such was life in Birmingham Alabama 1962.

Fifty six women accusers and one White Male!

One White Male is a president?

Fifty six women are condemned?

The biggest problem with FAKE NEWS is

The biggest problem with FAKE NEWS is how to keep up with correcting the LIES!

For instance

One of my long time internet friends asked a question, guessing that that person only has the time, working and such, to watch one news channel the likes of

‘Fox News’

(Fake News)?

“Apparently the lady who accused Roy Moore admitted she’d written the notes in the yearbook herself.

What’s this world coming to”?

My answer after watching many channels while reading on the internet like CNN, MSNBC.

“Not quite true as I read the news my friend.

As I understand the reports like on CNN with Chris Cuomo, she wrote down the date of the incident”?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/08/us/alabama-moore-nelson-allred.html

which is

“Fake News”?

More Fake News

Janet Porter Roy Moore Spokesperson Fake News on Doug Jones on Abortion rights by a fake statement saying that he is killing children that Doug Jones never said!

Trump, by his own words, is a womanizing, pedophile, flâneur and now your president?

Congress wants a womanizing, pedophile elected to congress just to be able to help pass their ‘Get Rich Quick tax cut or should I say, so called tax cut?

Because the only ones that they are giving a tax cut to are themselves and

Your get rich president!

Welcome to the visitor from Kooskia, Idaho

to a few of our postings

about our Smudging Ceremonies.

And

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/who-is-smudging-and-why.html http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/traditional-scottish-smudging.html http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/celtic-smudging.html

Of course there are many more ‘Smudging Ceremonies’ then shown on this one site.

However, this site was using these three to make a point.

As you have seen while reading this site we use smudging in at least two of our ceremonies (pow-wow and Pau-paus).

These two sites might be helpful?

Speaking of

‘Making a Point.’

I happened across a discrepancy on a site West of the Mississippi river about Indian Country in your area while looking for your town, that you might wish to check into someday?

Maybe not, because this person or persons is just trying to sell you a book!

By our count there were toughly 500,000 tribes on our land.

Native American Country (Mother Earth),  and roughly half of them were East of the Mississippi river.
