Which is only natural as <I>most</I> people have their roots somewhere else.<BR/>The other day I got a pile documents emailed to me with genealogy that my uncle had done. They went back to 1762 and not very exciting. All farmers in little Swedish villages... It's fairly easy to do genealogy there, I'm told. They have registers that go back to 1600-something.WebbyJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559335794169278747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602896217001030036.post-23907469207253164952007-03-12T06:23:00.000-07:002007-03-12T06:23:00.000-07:00god my typing sucks!god my typing sucks!Dana Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065942935259619884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602896217001030036.post-59456602035896199252007-03-12T06:22:00.000-07:002007-03-12T06:22:00.000-07:00mitakuye oyasin...in my language that means we are...mitakuye oyasin...in my language that means we are all related or all my realtive...we say it at the end of every prayer, or in the place of a prayer. Naddewasioux is what the Ojibwe called us meaning Little snakes because we were quick and sneaky in battle.

No matter who tells us to shut the hell up...dammit I wish I could blog this on 360 because I know the nitwit still reads it. He left me a comment the other night under a fake name calling me a stupid bitch and he also attacked everyone else he attacked in the past. Then sent an email out the next day to all of us saying it wasn't him. Anyway, this is why we need to know where we came from.Dana Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065942935259619884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602896217001030036.post-12030830612864102702007-03-09T18:53:00.000-07:002007-03-09T18:53:00.000-07:00That's damn hot!

You have all that information because it's apart of your culture to know where you came from. I've got nothing because it's apart of my culture to not give a shit. <BR/><BR/>That was an awesome post.
