Introduction	Proud Mixed Blood: Potawatomi, Cherokee, Welsh, Scottish, Dane. The preservation of our cultures, wisdom, knowledge is VERY important to me. I am very proud of all of the facets of my Lineage, but the Native part of my blood is also the strongest part of my Spirit. I have struggled to feel accepted by all sides of my Ancestry. I refuse to discuss blood quotients or define my eligability by them. I am not asking for anything physical. Just acceptance. Being raised off the reservation is not always an advantage. After their forced removal & subsequent travel accross North America, my Ancestors suffered ignorance, racism, abuse, death, alcoholism, mental illness, diabetes, addictions, poverty, obesity, food & environmental allergies. I believe almost all of these "symptoms" are a result of their forced seperation from their land, culture, families, medicine and religion for so many generations. As I have my whole life, I am endeavoring in some way to restore that Native Peace to myself & my family.

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?

No, I buried them in my flower garden hoping their essence would add to the living plants there.
