O'siyo, Hi Everyone, I am back online now
so I will be able to take care of my web pages.
Glad to be back.
I will be making a few changes to pages but it
will take time. Please bear with me on this.
Not as fast as I used to be. Wado.
We will be known by the tracks we leave behind
O’siyo,
My name is Uhisawaya (Lone Wolf).(AKA "Painted Turtle")
I am part Cherokee and Shawnee.
Some of my ancestors (My GG Grandmother)
was of the Abanaki Tribe
My father was of the Cherokee Tribe.
I am only about 1/2. (so I have been told)
but in my heart I am
Full Blood. No one can change my heart.
I have made these pages so viewers like
you can stop by and look around.
I am very proud of who I am.
I will always be proud of who I am.
We are proud people.
If we do not stand up for ourselves and our ancestors.
All will be lost forever.
We must stand up for who we are!
Our ancestors did and we should too!!
I have seen people that clam to be Native American,
but their heart sure does not act as though they are.
Then I have seen Full Blood Native American’s
that do not act it or have the heart.
This saddens me greatly.
I have seen Native American’s that are 1/16th. blood.
Their heart is good and they do their best
to live the ways of our ancestors.
Many people today do not understand our ways
and think we are some kind of bad people.
This is not true, we are people just like you.
I believe that now is the time to
change all of that.
We do have feelings. We do hurt, the
same as everyone else. Someday maybe
we can live in peace. Hope that this day
will come before the land, and all on
it has no hope of life left.
We must all start to help the land and
all on it. It is time to be at peace!
We can all learn from each other,
all we have to do is give it a try.
I will be the first to admit that I am still learning.
Words from Chief Marty Soaring Eagle
of the Cherokee Tribe of Kentucky
I Be Tsalagi*
This morning I looked in the mirror,
I stared intensely at what I saw,
Trying to figure out if it was
My eyes, my nose or my jaw.
Maybe it's my ears, I thought,
or maybe it's my chin,
I'm sure that I will figure out
what is my "part' that is Indian.
Maybe it's my arms or hands
or some little internal gland,
I sure hope I can soon find out
what "part" is Indian.
You see to some that means a lot
to them it's a big deal,
So maybe it's my knees or toes
or maybe my left heel.
But, you see, I don't understand
what this "part" stuff means,
Because in my heart I know
just who and what I be.
That from the top of my Tsalagi head,
to the tip of my Tsalagi toes,
With every beat of my Tsalagi heart
Every fiber of me knows
That it is not the "degree of blood"
That makes me what I be.
It is the spirit of Tsalagi
that dwells within, you see.
So with every breath I take
I'm as sure as I can be
that
I BE TSALAGI!!

Please check out the mound pages.
Many things have been done to them.
So the mounds are not the same anymore.
But please take a look. Many have been destroyed.
Many of them are no longer there as they have been
replaces with houses.
This saddens me deeply that this has been done.
