Welcome to all!!

Kwe!
(Mohawk language; initial greeting)

Welcome, and I hope you all enjoy this site. Here, I will do my best to provide cultural information, stories, craft how-tos, powwow information, and more. Today's post is only introductional, as I am building this site as I type this, so I'll just type a list now of what I'd like to provide on this here new blog of mine;

Let's see.... I'll be posting about many things, the subjects growing and expanding as time goes by, such as; pottery - basket weaving - creation stories - cultural stories - hunting and fishing - tribal thinking and ways of thought - archery, bow and arrow making and arrowhead flint-knapping - leatherwork - beadwork - the construction of longhouses, wigwams, lodges, wikiups, hogans and tepees - "bushcraft" - food and recipes - herbal medicine - Native American resources; radio, newspapers, craft supply sources and support sources, and much more that I can't think to type right now (my 3 year old daughter Minipoka is climbing me like a mountain while I'm typing here).

In the first couple of months or so of this blog, it'll mostly be humour, recipes, information, and such.... as time goes by, I'll be adding videos that I will create, for adding content on how to do some crafts, nature info, and maybe story telling, and so on. Please let's be patient together, as I strive to better fill this site with good things.

A little about myself;

I descended from the Blackfoot and Mohawk-Cree tribes, but from another branch of the family tree, there is also Mi'Kmaq and Winnebego.... I'm pretty much a mutt, any way you look at it. Now, I am not a fullblood, or even half - barely more then a quarter or so, really - I also have Canadian-French blood, a smattering of Chinese, some Sicilian, and more - I'm just a Human Being. Sure, I "look" native enough, but I'm paler 'n a fish belly.

What's my point?

I want you all to know that I am no fullblood, nor a pretender-to-be, and certainly no authority to speak for any nations - I'm not out to climb up on some high thing and make an icon of myself.... no, I'm just a humble Human Being, who would like to share with those who are willing. Please, enjoy your stay here, and let's become good friends.

Okay then, I should get everything together in my head and set out to make the best of this site.... got a lot of work to do here - see you all soon! ^_^

Nia:wen!
