~ Forgotten Ones~
Should we forget our Ancestors and our teachings,
our culture and language or feel ashamed when we
tell someone we are American Indian ~ its a sad reality
that this bigotry is not confined to the white world as many
within our own nations feel the same way. It may because
our skin is not dark enough, the color of our eyes, or because
we stand out, we don't look the same among our own people.
My Mother was Cherokee Tsalagsi
Trible Wolf Band--Kitualah Clan Anigiduahwa ~Father was german.
Am I less American Indian because my blood does not run pure.
I have not nor will I ever forget my teachings, traditions, culture,
and language taught to me as a young boy then through my adult
life. My heart is saddened my people as I know that this bigotry
continues in every Nation across the Country.
Stop the hatred my people ~ We Are All Related ~
