Philámayaye It is good to be home. While I agree on Dad and Mom being amazing and great people, there is nothing amazing about me. I just try to remember what Dad taught me. We dont have to be extraordinary, just giving. That honestly is all it takes. Giving a part of your heart and soul to...

Théhaŋ waŋčhíŋyaŋke šni I got back home from Syria about 2 weeks ago, which was a bit of an adventure in itself. I was in Jordan for almost a month before getting a Jordanian diplomatic flight to the UK and from there to the USA. Sad to say that the State Dept. did nothing in helping us...

We get latest updates from all the agencies involved. Right now they are telling us we will be just south of the active fighting but close enough to offer immediate assistance to the survivors of this onslaught and will be equipped with chemical gear and chemical agents alert boxes provided by...

Philamayaye for the kind words and prayers. There is nothing special about me. I just remember what Dad taught me and one of his sayings - we dont have to be extraordinary, just giving. It is within all of us to give of ourselves for others, and as Dad and Mom always told me, to walk Creator's...

With the tragic events that have unfolded in northern Syria, after prayers, Sweats and talking with my husband and daughter, I will be following in Dad's footsteps and working with Amnesty International in refugee camps in northern Jordan and then going into Syria to work in the refugee camps...

Congratulations If I can give you a daughter's perspective. For a daughter, 2 of the most important and special events in our lives is having our Dad walk us down the aisle and then the father/daughter dance at the wedding reception. If you shed tears during both, know that in your daughter's...

6" here at Wounded Knee this morning

Congratulations Nod. Hope you and your bride have many, many years of love, peace, and tranquility.

I miss green corn. Been way too many years since I have. Dad built a small square for us to do Stomp Dances and some of our Lakota extended family here have learned the Stomps. We try to do them once a month when possible. I consider it a blessing to have both Lakota and Cherokee spirituality...

I understand. Up here, we are getting ready for SunDance. As the men fast, sweat and get ready for piercing, us women will be fasting, sweating and then preparing the feast for the end of the SunDance. Much healing and strengthening of the people during this time.

Hopefully we are able to next year. Need to get back down there for the calming peace I feel when I am there.

Always good to see the Old Ways still being practiced, especially the Medicine

Clean Old Fashioned Hate ran a close 2nd to Mom and Dad's anniversary and sometimes Mom thought it was actually #1 in important yearly dates for Dad. And I think me going to UGA just made that week more special for him as we both loved to razz each other all week.

Philámayaye for all the kind words and thoughts. We are muddling through day by day. I wish I could say it is getting easier, but it isnt. I find myself spending more time down at Wounded Knee creek talking with Mom and Dad. It does help that my daughter has delayed going to UGA for a year to...

as it is simply too hard to talk about and I have been asked in pms and emails how Amira is doing. This hurts my heart so much to talk about 2 months ago Amira took her own life, which has left us devastated. She had been struggling ever since Dad made his journey and despite all we tried and...

Philámayaye for the kind words. Just goes to why Dad thought so highly of you I will make a thread in the next day or so. Just really difficult to put into words and not breakdown. You can ask Cowpoke to fill you in in the meantime. He has my permission to.

We didnt make it down there. My daughter is staying home another year before enrolling. I will make a thread about it so I dont bring this down. Cowpoke knows what happened. I am between numb and grief and feeling like I failed Dad and Mom everyday for the last few months

You can thank Cowpoke. He let me know. And I so needed to hear friendly voices from Dad's and now my extended family. Been a very, very hard year this year.

A Dawg here with some old gold and white in her veins as well (love you Dad)

Philámayaye He taught me what a gentleman meant so that I would know what to look for in a man. He always told me what Great Grandmom told him - break it down to its 2 words, gentle man. To look for a man with a gentle soul and heart and that lived by the moral of his convictions. I was lucky...
