Welcome to my
visitor from Uncasville Connecticut
Your confusing
statement and an answer to your question.
(I need to keep
writing both 'followers and friends' because I must remind myself of the many
follower, over (500) that only they know why, just keep following? And the
few friends that keep in touch or like the postings?)
As I just wrote to
one of my long time friends, Follower/Friends Angie (Kentucky Angel).
I started back in
the early 1980's writing in DOS trying to keep my elders and ancestors alive in
the hearts and minds of the Mohiigan Family because we could see that we were
losing touch and or passing on (Crossing Ceremony) far too fast.
I had an old 4 MB
computer and writing on Netscape and EarthLink in dial up!
:-(
Years later with a
new computer I was able to get a tracker to help find and answer questions from
family and friends.
While checking the
tracker I noticed that many others were asking the same question and many other
questions?
So I started
answering as best I could and that the time I even had elders to check with
first.
I discovered that
even though I had family and friends following the website, I also had over
3,000 un-known followers?
I also noticed that
I recognized most of them as greedy, phony, "Non-Indians!"
We call (Wannabe
Indians)!
Because of our many
years out on the powwow trail I discovered that most of my followers were from
different gatherings and powwows through-out Indian Country.
People that just
sold junk, or store bought trinkets and clothing made outside of this country?
Back then no one
would be allowed at a traditional native gathering selling non native material!
Today the non native
material is the normal and native made is the rarely found idem!
To make matters
worse, just about all of them were also 'selling' Naming, Weddings, Burial (as
in Funeral) as so on, Ceremonies!
As my close
followers know, selling a Sacred-Ceremony is against the teachings of our
ancestors and frowned on by Kiehtan!
After also learning
how to dump these Crooked Wannabes, thanks also to a long time followers,
(Pacific Paratrooper).
I felt the need to
write, where or when necessary, Friends/Followers?
So, I am able to
keep my followers down to people that really wish to read and/or learn about
our traditional tribe?
P.S.
Any tribal person in
and around Connecticut should already have known this?
