I like that high tech computer that you are using to spread the message of being traditional. And tell me that these great legends that you are nameing wouldn't possibly have used the gear avaiable to us now. And if you truly are a native american as you are portraying. I beleive that the elders would be greatly dissapointed in you. As the true native american beleifs are those of acceptance. Obviously you are not looking at all sections of the wheel or you would be learning from those who are on the opposite side of the wheel. I am glad that you are so confident in your abililities but talk is cheap and actions are louder than words. By your actions you are stuck in the south and not advancing to the west very fast. Then again there are many of us who never have a balanced wheel. The greatest that we all have learned from is Ishi. Why are you naming those of non indian heritage. After all Saxton Pope learned from Ishi. This foolish talk is a disgrace to all that have held on to the native culture. And yes, I am proud of my heritage also in which a third of the nation fell on the trail to Oaklahoma. That was then and this is now. All we have to hang on to is the old ways that are being disgraced by foolish trash talk.
