Craigslist Dreamcatcher – Typical?

This one made me laugh and I thought I'd share...Real beads! (plastic) Be wary of things marked authentic because they most likely they are not.

By ICTMN Staff January 16, 2012

Indian Country Today Media Network came across a Craigslist add this week that made us stop and scratch our heads. The seller advertises an “Authentic Dreamcatcher!! Pre-blessed” for only $45.

Within the posting the seller uses terms like: “complete with wolf power,” “shamanic…

The Invitation

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting in your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become…

About Native American Heritage Month

Information courtesy of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior

What started at the turn of the century as an effort to gain a day of recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the U.S., has resulted in a whole month being designated for that purpose.

One of the very proponents of an American Indian Day was Dr. Arthur C. Parker, a Seneca Indian, who was the director of the Museum of Arts and…

Bouncing back

Thank you to everyone for all the birthday wishes and for being positive for me.

The good news is that I have had surgery (at the Day Surgical Unit at Gloucester Royal Hospital) and have had injections into my spine and surrounding area either side of the spine so that I am now PAIN FREE! There is no guarantee how long this will last but it has now been two weeks and I am feeling great. I just have to remember I am not a spring chicken any more and have to watch what I can do--for…

November-National American Indian Heritage Month

In recognition of the contributions and accomplishments Native American Indians have had in American history, the month of November was declared to be National American Indian Heritage Month by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. This month long observance provides a time for American Indians to share their history, culture and traditions with others.

Long before the president and congress established a commemorative month, Dr. Arthur C. Parker was one of the first advocates for an…

Of Bears, Winter, Us, and Lessons

Please know this is copyrighted material but wish to share this with all of you from a book I am writing at present...

Yonv (Grizzly Bear)

Few things will inspire the human spirit in the way seeing a Bear in the wild does. Strong yet gentle, beautiful and rugged, graceful and clumsy, serious and comical. They symbolize freedom of spirit and oneness with all that is; things greatly lacking in the human spirit of today.

Yonv is generally known as the Grizzly,… Continue

What Heaven Might Be

This poem of comfort was written by Jessica, aged 8, my daughter

The angels sing, I can touch the clouds,
I see lots of people.
I taste the clouds as I reach out for them.
I feel calm,
I smell the flowers.

Columbus Day?-Native Americans' Day

The second Monday of October annually marks Columbus Day in many parts the United States but not all states or region follow this observance. Instead, they celebrate other events on the day. For example, South Dakota's official holiday on this date is Native Americans' Day (also known as Native American Day), while people in Berkeley, California, celebrate Indigenous People's Day.

What do people do?

In South Dakota people celebrate Native Americans' Day through learning from… Continue

Where Have All Of Americas Men Disappeared to...?

My comments here exclude those men who have stepped forward with incredible courage since 1913 to face this tyrannical government, and like our Founding Fathers, have paid an enormous price both personally and financially. People like Bill Benson, our fine gentlemen down in the great State of Tennessee and too many others to list.

Americans forget that the Founding Fathers were the "moneyed class" back then. They were farmers, merchants and men of means. They had a lot to…

A Timely Book about What Is The Church..And Why It Is Failing To See The Writing On The wall

The Pastor Has No Clothes

"We are mortgaging our spiritual future on a bankrupt concept"

The early church did not have it. None of the apostles ever held the job. In fact, it appears nowhere in the New Testament.

Now, author Jon Zens states what undoubtedly has occurred to many Christians: the role of the "pastor" needs to be reconsidered.

In his new book, The Pastor Has No… Continue

More Common Sense Reasons To Proclaim Truth

“[U]nder Socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner. . . .” - George Bernard Shaw , 1928.

Politically Incorrect But The Truth Is The Truth

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools… Continue

"Deer" And Farmer Go To War...Guess Who Won..?

Why we shoot deer in the wild...

I had this idea that I could rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for

a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer I figured that, since they congregate at my cattle feeder and

do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back

When Is A KIss...Like Jumping Off A Bridge?

THE KISS'

A tough looking biker was riding his Harley when he sees a girl about to jump off a bridge so he stops.

"What are you doing?" he asks.

"I'm going to commit a suicide," she says.

While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity either..

He asked "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a Kiss?"

So, a kiss he gets, long, slow, passionate..

After she's finished, the biker… Continue

The Sheer Nightgown

THE SHEER NIGHTGOWN....

A husband walks into Victoria 's Secret to purchase a sheer

negligee for his wife. He is shown several possibilities that range

from $250 to $500 in price -- the more sheer, the higher the price.

Naturally, he opts for the most sheer item, pays the $500, and takes

it home. He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put

it on, and model it for him.

UPSTAIRS THE WIFE… Continue
