now I would like to give you something a native elder had given to me many years ago to help out native gang members, behind bars. To help them see clearly.

The following is an Ojibway story told to me by an Elder, a story I try to pass on to young native inmates. This is a story that most native inmates say has helped them to understand themselves and helps them to seek a better life.

"You have a twin brother whom you have wondered about

and whom you would seek. This I tell you; he is your other

side in all things and in all ways. He is with you....do not seek him. Do not wish to know him, but understand him.

You will walk the path of peace....he would not

You are kind....he is not

You are humble...he is not

You are generous...he is not

You seek the good in things....he does not

You shall respect others...he will not

You shall seek the goodness in others...he will not

You are the light....he is the darkness.

Know that he is with you, understand him, but do not seek him!"

This is the story of the good and bad in all of us. If we seek the bad twin within us, that is what comes out. If we seek the good within us, then that is what we are.

take care

Iroquois Lane, Amanda Overmeyer (one of the better American Idol contestants):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwOgF-1nI6o

(does not actually have to do with the Iroquois, but is a good song nevertheless)

Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn), Bob Dylan. Here's the Hollies' cover. as you've probably heard the Mannfred Mann cover:

Back with more.

BQ: As far as I know, no, not even a sliver, but that's because I am from two very cloistered ethnicities who didn't even marry outside of their own ethnicities -- the fact that my parents were getting married to each other, and both are Anglo-Saxon white, was a big deal to both sides of the families.

BBQ: However, I did take 'Intro to Iroquois Language' in college and work on an Iroquois digsite for a college archaeology. I still remember how to speak a few words, and I live near -- and used to volunteer at -- the Iroquois museum. One of my law school papers was on Native land rights and the way those rights are decimated by incorrect application of property laws: If you're interested, Missy, drop me an E-mail and _if_ I can dig it up, I will send it to you.

(I'll also echo Stella's comments. You have nothing to apologize for, obviously, and I wish that could be left unsaid. Racism is vile and indefensible, and I truly hope that in the next 100 years, the lines between our artificially constructed "races" will blur so much that we'll largely be indistinguishable from each other. It's an old saying by now, but people should be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character -- MLK definitely had the right idea.)

Hi Missy. Don't ever apologize for your heritage. If anything, you should be apologized to. What this country has done to the Native American is short of...horrendous!

Peace Frog - the Doors

"Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding

Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind"

MQ: I don't think so although I am French-Canadian and always thought most of us might have a drop or two.

MQ2: Don't know but I'm gonna check my heritage book tonight!

Missy, this is for you. A great performance from the great, Robbie Robertson (he's part Mohawk) and he did a cd of Native American music. Enjoy ;)

BA: Possibly but pretty far back. And my Dad's Stepmother was part Cherokee. He grew up in North Carolina. I have been to Cherokee and saw The Trail of Tears. It's a beautiful place and very sad at the same time.

Half Breed by Cher

and

Indian Reservation by Paul Raviere And The Raiders

My top pick would be "One Nation Under" by the Amazing Dinè (Navajo) band Blackfire.

Then There's "American Ghost Dance" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Anthony Kiedis claims to have some Mohawk blood, but the song mainly references Lakota and Paiute history.
