It is good that you are that sensitive. Yes if you listen closely
you can still hear them whisper. I am hardpressed to find any place
on this continent that wasn't once either a campground or
huntingground or otherwise steeped in the history of one tribe or
another. Sleeping out under the stars used to put me in touch with
the ancestors, wish I could still do that sort of thing. I can
still sit in the woods by myself and get tuned in that way.

Lois,
Most of the stories told by my Grandpa were very personal family
stories that would have no meaning to outsiders. Ours have been
preserved and are being passed down to successive generations of
which there are three beyond myself so far. If you are looking
for the generic, creation, myth stories there is a place you
can go.

Wonderful collections of stories here, some old, some new.

zoe, I think it is great you are preserving the stories... I am not
looking for generic, have read many of them. I live in the land of the
Senecas. One of their camps was within walking distance of where I
live in Letchworth State Park. It is almost as if I can sense their
presence here in my woods. It is said that their winter camp was in
this woods. I just appreciate their history & abhor what was done to
them.. Lois
