I still have to get the info together to send off for his tribal card. I know he would love to have it. His ancestry of Cherokee means a lot to him.

I have a friend of an aboriginal tribe here, and she told me her elderly mother recently rejoined her tribe, and is now living on a reserve and well cared for in her own home and surrounded by a very caring group. She said she's just loving her reconnection with the tribe after so many years of being apart. I think it's great that people search out their roots and connect with their true families again. I'm from a very small family, and remember clearing out a great aunt's house seeing lots of photos of relatives etc. and thinking "wow! I actually have a family history!".

My experience is in Minnesota and the Dakotas where it wasn't done well and though there is a lot of money it is not used wisely by the Natilve Americans and schools, utilities, homes, etc, have seen little progress. My sister-in-law just retired from a teaching career on the Mille Lacs reservation and the situation for those who live there is heart-breaking.<br />You are right to be proud of your Native American heritage!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-10047379326047026142015-06-24T12:25:23.712-07:002015-06-24T12:25:23.712-07:00It looks like a great publication, and a good tool...It looks like a great publication, and a good tool to explain their vision.
