    Your American Reservation

    Within this divided nation you must live Burdened by the homage you are expected to give As they resume their quarrel after saluting Old Glory Horns blowing, blue and red banners flying Ever at odds while their nation is rapidly dying A sad enough ending for an even sadder story Throw your...

    Killing the Poet

    Enemies made, or who to befriend The short time we have here on earth Advancements we strive for until the end Often more trouble than they are worth That is to be had and what we claim Regardless of one’s earthly title or name Born as humans, we all die the same No matter what one...

    Who is to blame ?

    There’s a lot of people I know who are none too fond of migrant Mexican or other Spanish speaking mestizos and Indians who are only looking to work hard and have a better life for their families. Although feeling more akin to these migrants than say some freckled strawberry blond of northern...

    Embraced by Good Mother Nature

    Among the earth’s oldest mountains, in these Appalachians are places of power and old wild spirits. Since childhood I’ve camped, fished, hunted and hiked these rolling wooded highlands with family and friends. One can feel the spirits of these ridges, hollows and valleys. Up here in these often...

    Unrealistic Portrayals and Misconceptions

    Unrealistic Portrayals and Misconceptions From early childhood I’ve seen American Indians portrayed as either the enemy or overly helpful, simple childlike savages eager to aid the white man against those other Indians who happen to be putting up a struggle in defense of their homelands and...

    Old Indomitable Souls

    What are they pouring into these old jars ? Ancient, fire kilned, tempered with sand Stored on the floor all these long years Well used, well kept, but rarely seen Never to fall and crash into many shards Red southern clay, symbolic impressions Fraught with power, these ancient relics Inspired...

    Standing by a good stretch of river

    Standing by a good stretch of river Densely wooded on either side Cold, clear swift moving water Between falls and above settlement Old river fast flowing I am yours Just as the heron, dace and trout Knowing not words, but only sounds It is said such places hold no desire Having no spirit...

    Red Eft

    Dawn has passed and the fog drifts in All days are not so clear and bright Of the many places I have been None can thwart the coming of night Mother Nature is and always will be Our only one true sensible reality Felt, heard and in the range of sight A water strider dancing atop the stream...

    Why is booze called spirits ?

    I've not only heard alcohol referred to as spirits, but have used the term myself. In the early days of wine making, ale brewing and more harder alcohol distillation, did humans assoicate spirits with this craft ?

    Cover your tracks(hunting magic)

    Hooves, paws, or feet. Impressions left in the dirt, dust, mud, or sand allow some primitive people not only a clue to which way their enemies or prey are moving and how fresh the track, but a means to work stalking magic as well. Primitive tribes have also shot arrows or jabbed spears in to...

These are people who called themselves something else long before the word America/n came into play. A name held in common by a good many of us is American Indian...
