Sandy,
Glad you shared your story! It is sad the way people have been so
cruel to others. I know being from Cherokee my Grandfather use to
deal with alot of discrimination. He had a farm and one time a man
came looking to buy a horse from my Grandfather but the man ended up
not buying it saying he would never trust an Indian and would not pay
him a dime for his horse. I raised my children to be respectful to
everyone and not to be prejudice. I also have a handicapped
daughter and young children would come up to her wheelchair and ask
why she can't walk and their parents would pull them away. I would
always try to answer them to let them know. I feel sorry for these
kids that are taught prejudice by their ignorant parents, children are
not born that way.

My Great-Grandmother was full blood Apache but she died before I had
the opportunity to meet her. My Mother used to tell us stories about
Geronimo and the Superstition Mountains in Arizona, my mother's birth
place. She took us to see the bluff [Medicine Bluff] where he and his
horse jumped from into the Medicine River to get away from the US
Calvary...he lived and did get away.
My Mother was a half-breed and as a child when walking in Phoenix the
white men would spit on her and her family and then they [the white
people] would cross to the other side of the street so as to not be
soiled by their presence.
I lived with prejudice from within my own father's family [his mother
did not want anything to do with us Native American brown skinned
children]...even from my own father. Now that my Mother has passed on
my father claims we are not Apache but he lies...my Mother was very
proud of her heritage and wanted her children to be proud of it too
and we are.
Just thought I would share some of my Native American history.
Sandy

Zoe,
Thank you for posting the group!
I am sorry to say I am not a sensitive
person, tuned into things around me. I wish I were. I can
certainly agree with Lois in what was done to the people
native to this country. There *should* have been white
bodies hanging from trees all across this country for what
the white man did, IMO.
No other minority had annihilation attempted on them
in this country that I ever heard of. OK, I'll get off my
soapbox, not that I want to...
Thanks again. I joined and look foreward
to the stories!

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.
