blackbird,
whats goin on bruh??
I appreciate all of the info you have presented here and I have the pimsleur program for learning the basic ojibwe language ( Ha'Nin! or "hello" I think). I have still not been able to contact anyone on rockyboy and I understand that oppurtunists have been claiming indian blood for no other reason than romantic ideals and access to whatever federal funds the govt gives. So if they are suspicious of me I understand and would be as well. I want to go to the community and live there for awhile along with getting my ancestry records.......I learned that I got my height (6'3) from my indian relatives (alot on both parents side) as well as my high cheekbones. I also remember being a "victim" of accusations that I was non-emotional and stoic, like other people with Indian features. This will be hard but worth it, for my lil cousins and dem,lol. They need to know where they come from so they know where to go...
I just had to rant, thanks again
