Holy Hills Heart – Santee

DISCLAIMER/INFO BELOW When most people speak or read about Native American people, their culture, their traditions, their plight, it is often done from the viewpoint of looking to the past. History books reveal to us, in limited scope, a few of the famous names of those who fought, and often died, whilst trying to protect and ensure that their people, their culture, were not extinguished forever by the rapid advance across America by the white invaders. The exploits of those famous warriors, and their people, make fascinating reading. The wholesale murder of innocent women and children in the massacre’s of that distant past still make uncomfortable reading today. When one looks upon those weather lined faces depicted in the old black and white photographs, it is hard to understand from where they got their courage, the determination, their fighting spirit, to take on the overwhelming challenges that faced them. But they did. And the truth is, you can still see that look of courage, determination and fighting spirit in the faces of their descendants today. For there are still those today who carry on the traditions and the culture that were handed down to them by their forefathers. The present day people of Turtle Island, and Canada, have not finished writing their own page in the history books of tomorrow. Most images are made by Getrude Kasebier from the Native American Sioux in the period around 1890-1898 and downloaded from the Smithsonian Institute website DISCLAIMER

    So happy to meet another Rainbow Warrior!
    Yes, connections in real life and cyberlife are necessary if we attempt to turn the cycle of events. I do not know what ‘FB’ means? Maybe Facebook? I don’t have this but I’m working on a fast growing profile and channel on Care2com. I’ll place a link on my channel soon. In the meantime, I have sended you a friendsinvitation and would be honored if you want to accept.

    Tashi Delek!
