painted wolf

mitakwe oasin. How are you?

Well considering when I'm not on here I'm looking at such highbrow fare as LoLcats.... I suppose you could interest me. I'll just have to make sure my son is far from the computers alluring glow.

I've begun blogging on a more or less daily basis again. So, the internet is no longer safe for children and the elderly.

I don't know if my blog could interest you, Wolf, but it's here if you ever want to check it out.

Thank you! I hope the same for you and yours too! At some point I'll have you send you a pic of the baby.

I hope all is well with you; now that I am rarely here, I don't get to read your fascinating posts!
Good luck, (and health) to you and yours

Apology accepted.

Left a public apology in the thread -I was being an ***. Truly sorry!

I'm no "pureblood" myself... but I tend to use the term "First Nations". But each nation has it's own name for themselves and for this land we live on.
I too wish it could have been as it was promised... but then given history, it's no surprise that it isn't. But having running water/water treatment and electricity for everyone would at least be a good start.

A sad attempt at humor!

I have a great respect for the ways of the Native American people. We may not believe the same things, but I believe, generally, that the way you lived before we (the other 11/12's of me) arrived here would please God much more than our "civilization".
I have also travelled often -and have seen Native Americans denied once again -now that which was promised to them by treaty..... the opportunism of the gaming industry -and the gaining of a fraction of what should have been returned to them -by dealing with that industry.

I am happy to see your children well-fed and -clothed -to see you thriving -but wish it could have been as it should have been.

I feel strange saying "Native American", as that term didn't apply until we (the other 11/12's of me) arrived here.

I also wonder if any or all tribes of the original people of this land had a word or phrase to describe all of the original inhabitants -or to describe the land itself.

Clout? With whom and what for? And why would being 1/12 of anything give it to you?

I'm 1/12th Cherokee! Does that get me any clout?

Thanks for the frubals, and no problem at all.

I asked a new question on your biology thread

oh wow that should keep you on your toes!

Oh yes! We're starting to get ready to crawl.

How are ya? Still busy? lol

Ah, but it such a good sort of busy!
(aside from the dirty diapers and spit up that is.)

a 6 month old would keep me busy too! lol

Pretty good all around... busy with my last semester of school, busy with a six month old... busy all around actually.

hi there, how are you today? ^.^
